“Amelia. This way. Quickly. ”

When I stood far away from Amelia and waved my hands as I spoke, Amelia came up to me with a strange look on her face.

“What’s wrong?”

“I can feel the savage gaze from over there.”

“Yaman?… … Ah.”

Amelia turned her gaze in the direction I glanced at, looked at the person at the end of her gaze, and smiled as if it were absurd.

“Why, you look like someone would ask you to dance.”

It’s not that it wasn’t, Prince Evan was actually getting up from his seat. I didn’t want to be overly self-conscious and I didn’t want to place such great value on myself, but to be honest, I thought that when I saw Prince Evan standing up with a grin not long after our eyes met. I couldn’t help but do it.

“And everything you said I learned from you.”

“It’s different to mix with barbarism. I don’t ignore what others say and bring a pack of wolves into the city.”

I bet Prince Evan brought his wolf to this castle.

To be honest, I would like to say hello to Robo for the first time in a long time, but to do that, I had to talk to Prince Ban first.

When we last met five years ago, I definitely remembered Dalian.

I was sure when we made eye contact today. He didn’t forget that.

“So you’re planning to run away?”

“I’m not saying I’m going to run away, but I’m going to avoid you. Because I can’t be separated from you here.”

“… … Really?”

After hearing my small voice, Amelia glanced in the other direction,

“Why, Prince Evan is one of the few people who suits you well. He is 10 centimeters taller than you.”

“But you don’t want to dance with Prince Evan?”

“Why? He’s the main character? He’s handsome, tall, and honestly, isn’t his personality any better than the original?”

Amelia’s gaze, which had been looking in the other direction, returned to the city. The gaze that was looking up at me was very clear. I don’t know if it felt that way because the eyes were so clear.

Before I knew it, Amelia had come quite close to me. In fact, in terms of distance, it was farther than yesterday when I was escorting Amelia and when she was practicing dancing with Amelia. It is not a distance that would be strange even if someone saw it from the side.

But it was also close enough to see Amelia’s face.

In romantic fantasy novels and comics, nighttime balls are often portrayed as very bright, but that is only half true. No matter how much magic there is to create light, the price of the magic tool is very expensive, and even for the royal family, a banquet hall can only be built with a light source of that price. I can’t reveal everything.

Therefore, chandeliers placed with such a light source in the center and reinforced with candles around it were the light source that illuminated this banquet hall.

It was quite bright near the chandelier, but a little further away it was dim. Since most of the light sources were candles, the light shining on us wavered quite a bit.

I often see Amelia lit by the fireplace, but this is my first time seeing her with her neck exposed and her hair tied up like this.

From the beautifully chiseled jawline, through the slender neckline, to the collarbone that looks like it could hold a drink.

It was a dress with a conservative design that hid the shoulder line, but whether it was because of the atmosphere or the swaying lighting, I saw a sexiness in Amelia’s appearance that I couldn’t hide.

“Huh?Elsie.”

“Huh?”

I lost my mind without realizing it, but I finally came to my senses when I heard Amelia’s voice.

“What do you think? About Prince Evan.”

“That’s right… … It would be best to not get involved as much as possible.”

“Even though you’re that attractive?”

Is that attractive?

He was rather handsome. The problem was that I wasn’t the kind of person who would fall in love with a handsome man.

But in general, wouldn’t it be normal to show affection for a prince, or rather, a crown prince? He’s handsome, and now he has abilities, and he’s the crown prince, and he even rides a wolf because of me. Although the context is different from the prince on a white horse, there’s a handsome man riding it. Wouldn’t it be seen as a kind of wild beauty?

“Not to my taste.”

That’s why I decided to make an excuse like this.

“Oh, if it’s not your taste, who is your taste? Prince Allen, who is also the crown prince?”

“Am I crazy?”

Amelia giggled softly at my question.

“Well, I thought that was definitely not the case. But to say it was Harvey… … It’s Neo. Hmm, what kind of person is it? Still, there’s something called taste, right? That’s why both princes answered clearly that it’s not your taste. Perhaps the Magic Tower owner who hasn’t appeared yet is your taste?”

“I don’t like people who show off.”

“Oh, is that so? Then I guess I know why I hate all three people.”

Amelia laughed as if it was fun.

I slowly stretched out my hand and put it on the back of Amelia’s waist and moved to the other side. Amelia blushed slightly, probably surprised by the sudden touch to her body, but she didn’t blame me.

I saw a shiny golden head moving in this direction from over there. Fortunately, it seems that it took a while to pass through the nobles. No matter how much the crown prince has settled in his head, he won’t run out of the ballroom.

There were nobles talking to each other in between, so the pace was slowing down even more.

Fortunately, there was no one on our side talking to us.

In the Kingdom of Alwen, it was extremely rude to talk directly to a noble woman and scare or startle her.

It is common for women in places like this to be with men who will protect them, so it is usually etiquette not to talk to the women directly, but to talk to the protector first, and then naturally greet the women and start a conversation. am.

But we are both women.

Under the circumstances, I was more of a protector, but if you talk to a woman in a condescending manner, you’ll end up sounding like a lecher who doesn’t even know etiquette.

I don’t know what would happen if the woman spoke first, but in this case, Amelia’s status is the issue.

Because she is the eldest daughter of the Grand Duke.

It is also rude for a noble with a lower rank to speak rudely to a noble with a higher rank.

… … It is a society that is quite cumbersome to participate in.

“So?”

Amelia asked if I had noticed that I was dragging my chair and moving my seat here and there on purpose.

His eyes were already full of thoughts of teasing Mina.

While I was contemplating whether to pretend to eat the food in front of me and make an excuse to the crown prince, I looked towards Amelia.

What should I say? What should I say so that Amelia won’t ask about this anymore?

“My taste is—”

Oh yeah.

Well then, let’s talk about Amelia’s appearance!

After all, Amelia is a woman, and I don’t think Amelia will think that I’m talking about her based on her appearance.

“My taste is black hair, blue eyes, and short height.”

“Uh… … .”

Amelia’s mouth opened slightly at my firm answer.

“Well, really? Your tastes are very strong.”

Well, even if someone were to tell me their ideal type, not many people would be able to tell such detailed details. It’s embarrassing.

But still, thanks to that answer, Amelia became quiet. I felt a little relieved.

It seemed like she was strangely lost in thought, but I decided not to worry too much about it. Amelia often got lost in thought like that.

“Lady Delkisi.”

“Ugh!”

And I was startled by the voice I heard right behind me.

I don’t know who it is… … No, there is only one person I can talk to like this.

But I didn’t know that one person could be this rude.

When I looked back, the person there was the crown prince with brilliant golden hair. He had a simple smile on his smooth face, but his expression was strangely angry.

In fact, I wasn’t upset about his expression, but rather because of his handsomeness. It would have been great if I had been born a prince of a neighboring country or something. Who knows, if I did well, I might have been able to have a good relationship with Amelia.

“You seem to have a lot of skill. I didn’t expect it until you came up behind me.”

“Because his steps were covered in aura.”

Is that possible with an auror?

“There’s nothing to worry too much about. It’s something that only someone of my caliber can do. If there was an assassin with this ability, his reputation would already be high.”

No, more than that, I’m more worried about your personality of wearing an auror just to chase after the lady.

“You’re quite rude.”

“Ex.”

The voice I heard this time was not mine.

It was Amelia who was next to me.

Amelia’s expression looked quite relaxed as she confidently said those words to the crown prince.

“If there is an escort, isn’t it right to talk to the escort first and get permission?”

Compared to how deep in thought she had been just a moment ago, Amelia’s attitude was confident.

So, as if I had been considering acting like that from the beginning.

… … ah.

You knew it would be like this from the beginning!

Then you said you were watching me run away in panic?

It’s also mischievous.
