Marian and Cecilia were a couple that attracted attention even at the party. The attitude of those around them watching these two people was generally good, but not everyone was like that.

“Eng. What is that?”

“What kind of pink color does a man have?”

Although there was no set dress code, pink was implicitly a color avoided by men. Patriarchal spirits shook their heads at Cecilia’s white, pink, and silver attire that seemed tailored to her partner.

“You put all men to shame.”

A man made a loud noise. It was Yeong-sik who sent an invitation to Marian and was rejected.

“What on earth is Count Cecil thinking?”

“Because he is a nobleman who bought a title, he must have no pride.”

The rest of the Youngsik also agreed.

This was because the man who even had the title of count behaved like a servant who stayed right next to the woman and waited on her.

“Don’t you usually only hang out with women?”

“Huh. Did you guys just see this?”

“That…the author…!”

The young people were astonished. Count Cecil picked up Princess Marianne like a princess and sat her down at the table. And because he massaged her feet as if she were a servant.

“You really are the one who puts all men to shame.”

“Tsk. We’re annoyed and unlucky, but look over there.”

Even the ladies who were dancing where he stopped stopped moving and were looking at the two with bright eyes.

Not only that, the ladies who were chatting at the table also had dazed expressions.

“You are really kind…”

“That’s right… You hug your partner like that because you’re worried that their feet might hurt, and you even massage their feet yourself… .”

“It’s really different from men these days.”

“As expected, the young Count… .”

“Aristocratic people who talk flashy words…”

The Yeongsiks, who had been watching the ladies’ reactions with their ears pricked up, had crumpled expressions. But some quick-witted men had an idea.

With such a handsome face and such a caring side by her side, wouldn’t Princess Marian have fallen for her?

If that prickly princess was that bad… They each looked at the young lady they had a crush on.

Most of the time, I was chatting with girls my age without a partner.

‘There’s still a chance…!’

As if the atmosphere was contagious, so did the rest of the Youngsiks.

“Hey… Would it be popular if we did something like that?”

Anyway, they were young people who came to the party alone without a partner.

“……”

They no longer cursed Count Cecil.

Rather, I remembered his every action as if I was studying it.

“Pink… Because it’s pink…”

Esteban tried to go straight to Yuri, but he couldn’t. This is because in the hall, a large number of men and women were hugging each other and dancing.

‘Shit…’

I had no choice but to circle around the venue.

Although he could hear many voices enjoying secret relationships between men and women, there was only one voice he could hear.

“Ian. Am I doing well?”

Yuri, who was concentrating on dancing, asked shyly.

“You said it was your first time dancing, it’s great.”

Ian gave generous praise, and a stream of red blood flowed from Esteban’s mouth as he watched the two. You bite your teeth too hard, causing damage to your gums.

It was different from the princess who I couldn’t get my hands on from the beginning.

‘Yuri… Yuri West… you are my woman, mine!’

It was the moment I made eye contact with the guy holding Yuri.

“Glass. I love you.”

“Ian…”

He gently touched Yuri’s cheek.

Esteban inadvertently looked at Yuri’s face and felt a burst of anger. Eyes wide open in ecstasy. Slightly open mouth and nice smile. The person facing it was not me.

‘How dare you?’

I can’t forgive. However, I wasn’t stupid enough to not know what would happen if I scolded Yuri in this situation.

I tried to suppress the rising anger, but when I saw the guy with his hand on Yuri’s waist and Yuri in the guy’s arms, even my hands were shaking.

‘okay. ‘It’s not unusual to dance with someone else at a ball.’

The song is over. They hugged each other and danced, then took a step back. But I didn’t let go of my hand.

“Prince?”

Yuri sounded surprised. Esteban, who couldn’t bear it any longer, walked over and grabbed Yuri’s wrist.

“Ouch.”

Yuri stumbled and almost fell to the floor, but Ian also held Yuri’s hand and prevented her from falling. But Yuri’s fine eyebrows furrowed.

Esteban didn’t even like that.

‘You were smiling just a moment ago.’

Even though Yuri was in pain, Esteban did not relax his strength. My white wrists became even whiter.

“Charge. Yuri hurts.”

“If you’re that worried, you can just let it go.”

Ian also didn’t let go of Yuri’s hand.

“Your Majesty… Ian…”

Even though Yuri’s expression became increasingly sad, the two men did not give up their pride.

“Don’t fight…”

Yuri’s body goes limp.

““Glass!””

In the end, it was only when Yuri lost consciousness that the power of the two was released. I was looking at it with concern, but the red handprint on my white wrist looked even more prominent.

“It’s because of you!”

As Esteban shouted, Ian stopped, and the ladies who were enjoying the scandal between the three men and women also turned their heads at the bloody atmosphere.

After a while.

‘It’s bloody…’

‘Iknow, right…’

‘If that’s the case… I’m more than envious…’

Only after they left did the ladies who were watching raise their voices.

Ian felt a strong impulse as he saw Esteban walking away with Yuri in his arms.

‘If there is no escort now…’

Even when I thought about it, I was surprised. What would happen then? Everyone at the party was a witness to the confrontation between himself and the crown prince. However, unlike Cecil Aines, who felt like a mountain, the crown prince in front of him could easily be defeated. Even though I had that confidence, I couldn’t move.

Above all, he is breathing evenly with Yuri in his arms.

“How long do you plan on following me?”

Esteban growled.

“Please take care of Yuri.”

Ian clenched his fists. All he could do was watch.

The second act of the ball has begun. As the splendid party entered its second half, the scale of the party extended outdoors, and the heat seemed to subside in the cold night air.

“Marian? Does it hurt?”

“No…”

When I opened my closed eyes, Cecilia looked up at me with a pretty smile. The sound of flowing water and a calm melody flowing outdoors.

I just closed my eyes. I can feel the cool breeze tickling my flushed cheeks, and it seems to calm me down a little. But the pleasant sensation in my legs brings me back to reality.

Okay, the current situation is, in short, I was sat by the fountain by Cecilia and was receiving a foot massage from her.

And that too, in a position where all the other students can see and receive the most attention. Of course, I don’t hate it when my precious friend takes such good care of me.

I just closed my eyes and felt the cool night breeze.

‘therefore…’

-It was a little while ago.

*

“This is the beginning of the second act of the Academy’s famous Cherry Blossom Festival.”

With the host’s shout, the door opened, and this time, instead of using fantasy magic, a rain of flowers was sprayed all over the room.

Most students walked holding hands with their partners.

My feet felt a little sore because I woke up suddenly.

‘Ugh…’

I have small feet, but I’m sure that doesn’t mean I’m weak. I danced several songs in a row and stood for quite a long time…

“Excuse me for a moment.”

Cecilia hugged my body.

“Does it still hurt?”

“A little…”

‘He was like this before… am I that light?’

In the world, it is often called a princess hug, but is it a support between friends? trim. It wouldn’t be strange.

Whenever this happens, I naturally think of ‘recovery magic.’ But there is a problem.

In short, it is similar to a knight who has been trained becoming a sandpiper when he receives a recovery spell.

Furthermore, excessive treatment leads to a decrease in immunity. Perhaps receiving recovery magic also resets the beneficial germs in the body?

In the first place, if it is a big wound, it is not a situation to consider such a thing, and if it is a small wound, the impact is minimal, so there is no particular problem.

However, if I use recovery magic now, the momentum I will gain today, that is, by dancing, will be lost.

That is why. The reason I was now in Cecilia’s arms was a matter of efficiency.

I just leaned my head in her arms, thinking rational thoughts of my own.

“How about here?”

“It’s okay.”

At Cecilia’s words, I grabbed her shoulder and turned my head.

While the food inside had a strong dessert feel, the trays set out outside had a lot of great food suitable for a party.

‘There’s dice steak and chicken too. ‘Is this from our store?’

The flowing juices and the smell of meat make my mouth water.

As it is a party, most of the food is prepared to resemble food fingers, but even the large whole legs are mouth-watering. That is definitely delicious. All my senses are speaking. However, it was a food that was neglected not only by young children but also by young children.

*

–And now, I was brought back to the present by the delicious smell in front of me.

I am enjoying a comfortable flower viewing experience thanks to her sitting me in a comfortable position and even delivering food to me.

Cecilia even used her Aura to dismantle the whole leg so it was easy to eat.

“Marian. Ah~”

And then it got to a point where I was like, ‘Ahhh.’

“Ah, cancer.”

I took it generously, swallowed it, and opened my mouth.

“It’s okay for me to eat it.”

“I want to do it, is it uncomfortable?”

Cecilia lowered her eyebrows and made a sad expression.

“No…”

Could it be uncomfortable? Having someone else feed me is something I’m used to, and a pretty friend like this knows what I want to eat just by looking at her. How can I be uncomfortable when it’s so comfortable? It’s so comfortable that I wear it.

It was truly the work of a feeding professional. Of course, if you count the number of times he’s fed me like this since I was little… I’m not sure, but it’s probably over 100 times.

‘But… is it okay to just receive it like this?’
