Chapter 212
“Wait here.”
In the morning, one of the guards suddenly came to my room and brought me here.
I had no idea where I was, but I knew that this country’s royal palace was enormous.
This palace was bigger than the royal palace of Duelkis…. I didn’t know where they got that kind of property.
I waited patiently in front of the large, sturdy-looking door.
“Why the heck do I have to babysit that kid!”
What’s the point of this door…nothing.
The prince’s words rang in my ears. At the same time, I could hear the troubled voices of the guards.
“It’s the king’s decision, you know.”
“My father! He is really too free! Why did he pick up a kid like that?”
“But, Prince Victor! Didn’t you see that fight yesterday? I’m sure that boy will be useful!”
Oh, that was a nice thing to say, Guardsman.
I’m sure he would be a good asset, if I do say so myself. After all, I have the skills of a villainess that could get me deported. …Well, that was mostly thanks to Duke’s power.
“That’s why it’s so troublesome.”
…Oh my, I had assumed he was a stupid, arrogant prince, but it appears he wasn’t like that.
“What do you mean?”
“Think about it, he’s such a good fighter that he should be in the arena, right?”
I wonder if this door really means anything.
I feel like I should tell them that I could hear every word they said…. Or maybe I just have better hearing than most people.
I’ve never compared my hearing to that of others, so I’m not sure how good it is.
Yesterday, I could hear what that person on the other side of the fence was saying…. I guess I have good ears as well as good eyes, right?
“What do you think we should do?”
“It’s a pain in the neck, but I can’t go against my father’s orders.”
“…Do you want me to let him through?”
“Yeah.”
The door in front of me opened with a loud click as soon as he finished saying that. The guard jerked his chin to signal me to come in.
I wanted to straighten my back… I shouldn’t be doing that. I am not a lady here. Old habits die hard, don’t they?
I sluggishly entered the room.
The prince had short hair. Up close, his face appeared to be very neat.
Why do all the handsome guys here have long eyelashes? Was he a giraffe in his previous life? The girls will lose their position.
This game was really about them! There was nothing wrong with making them beautiful. I mean, all the girls in this world also have beautiful faces, but that wasn’t what I was talking about!
“Hey, kid.”
A man sitting in a chair with his feet on a large desk spoke as if to put pressure on me.
His words quickly dispel the rage I had felt towards handsome men.
So suddenly, he was acting all high and mighty now. Excellent.
