Leorde has been spotted by someone he never expected to see.
He pinches his cheek to see if this isn't a dream, but it hurts as expected .
(I see, this is not a dream. If that's the case, thenĀ i am probably hallucinating )He twisted his neck, but Sylvia asked him about his strange behavior from earlier.
"What have you been doing?"
"you was pinchingĀ Ā your cheeks and shakingĀ head. Could it be that you think you're dreaming or something?"
A flabbergasted Leorde hurriedly excused herself.
"No,Ā It's not that I'm not a good person. Hahaha ......"
He tried to smile deceptively, but Sylvia, who was right in front of Leolde, was not fooled.
She is staring atĀ him with sharpĀ gaze, and eventually LeoldeĀ can't stand it and bows his head.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness. I can't take it anymore."
Seeing LeoldeĀ lower his head, Sylvia smiled as ifĀ she troubled.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to embarrass you,Ā sir Leolde, did I?
(What the hell are you talking about?ćYou know what you're doing!)
Many nobles saw the scene of Leolde bowing to Sylvia, the fourth princess, in public.
One of them approached LeoldeĀ and Sylvia. Leolde couldn't tell who it was because he had his head down, but he heard footsteps approaching, so he knew that someone was approaching.
Sylvia then turned her head to the approaching figure and greeted him.
"Good day to you. Lady Elina."
"Good day to you. Lady Elina."
The name startled Leolde. He hadn't expected Elina to be there.
It is true that Elina is also a duchess, so it is not surprising that she was invited to this party. However, she is not the kind of person who would go out of her way to come near Leolde, whom she hate .
"It's been a long time, Your Highness. I would like to ask you one question, what kind of disrespect has this manĀ done to your highness?"
It was a terrible misunderstanding. Leolde hadn't done anything wrong. But Elina thinks that because of Leolde's character, he was rude to Sylvia.
"It's a misunderstanding. I have done nothingĀ bad to Her Highness."
Raising his head, Leolde complained to Elina.
"I won;t believe you . I think you deserve it, considering what you have done in the past.
"Maybe so, but I can assure you that in this case I did nothing."
"Hmm. Hmm. Then why did you bow down toĀ her ?"
"It's ......."
Even Leolde was unable to answer Elina's question.
IfĀ he tellĀ her honestly that Sylvia was interestedĀ in him and heĀ had bowed head as a way of asking for a break, she would not believeĀ him .
"Look at it this way. If it wasn't for that, you wouldn't have said anything at all."
"......"
"I'm sure you've been asked about your accomplishments in this monster panic and you've tried to cover it up with a bow because you were about to be caught fabricating."
LeoldeĀ was about to open his mouth to deny Elina's statement, when a visitor appeared.
"Watch your mouth, Elina. Understand that you have just uttered words that are tantamount to insulting not only sir Leolde but also the royal family."
"What ......?ćWhat does that mean?"
"You still don't understand?ćThis time, sirĀ Leolde achievement was recognized by the royal family and His Majesty.
"In other words, you're making fun of us royalty for being fools who can't see the truth."
Do you understand that?
"I didn't mean to imply that..."
"Shut up. Elina, I also know aboutĀ sir Leolde . I know that he has done many things that are unbecoming of a nobleman. Of course, His MajestyĀ know too."
That's why His Majesty didn't believe inĀ sir Leolde achievements at first, and conducted his own investigation. As a result, the achievements thatĀ sir Leolde made this time areĀ real .:
I" understand that you may have preconceived notions about things, but you need to broaden your perspective. The fact that sirĀ LeoldeĀ is here is the best proof of that."
Leoldo didn't expect to be saved by Sylvia, butĀ her last words bothered him.
"What do you mean by the last word?"
"It means exactly what it says. The fact thatĀ he is here is the best proof ofĀ it . If it had been faked,Ā he wouldn't beĀ Ā well right now."
The blood drained from Leolde s face as Sylvia laughed hilariously. It's not a laughing matter for Leolde. At any rate, he didn't even know that he would lose his head if he told a lie.
And just like Leolde, Elina was also turning pale. In any case, when she made fun ofĀ himĀ as usual, she was scolded by the royal family this time , so it is not surprising that her face turned pale.
(I didn't mean to say anything wrong! It's all this pig's fault that this happened!)
Elina, who turned her anger in the wrong direction, glared at Leolde . LeoldeĀ was wondering how to escape Sylvia.
(I want to get away from here somehow. ......)
Sadly, there was no escape forĀ him . Now that Sylvia has her eye on him, there is no place for him to rest.
Tonight, he felt like he had a hole in his stomach.
