Chapter 96
Episode 96:
The impact of the word ‘raid’ was enormous.
Everyone’s eyes in the banquet hall turned to the leather armor that the crown prince was carrying.
“Is that Reid’s leather…?”
“That Reid I know…?”
“That’s crazy… If it’s a raid, it’s worth the price.”
The corner of the crown prince’s mouth twitched.
It was clearly visible that he was trying hard to suppress the corners of his mouth from rising.
“Raid… I’m jealous of that.”
I heard the king mumbling.
He looked at the leather armor the crown prince was carrying with eyes as greedy as the crown prince’s.
“This will be put to very good use.”
“yes.”
“No. “If I get something like this, I’ll give it a try.”
The crown prince looked back at the king.
“Allowed.”
The king nodded. The Crown Prince bowed his head in gratitude and gestured to the knights.
Two knights approached the crown prince’s gesture.
“Try this on.”
The crown prince handed leather armor to the sturdy knight.
Without any complaint, the knight took off the iron armor he was wearing and put on the leather armor he gave him.
The size of the leather armor automatically increased to fit the knight’s body, which was larger than that of the crown prince.
‘The wizards worked hard for two days just to make that one thing.’
This armor was made after two days and nights of hard work by two leather craftsmen, three blacksmiths, and five wizards.
It’s no longer leather armor, but it’s safe to say it’s a castle.
If you wear that, you will be able to withstand two or three attacks from the Sword Master.
However, this did not mean that there were no weaknesses.
I was prepared in case something went wrong with him.
“How long can I hold out?”
“It can even withstand attacks from advanced knights.”
“good. “Did you hear that?”
The knight holding the sword nodded.
With the king’s permission, the knight imbued the sword with aura.
The knight who was the subject of the experiment still showed no change in expression.
He looked calm, as if he didn’t care if he died right here.
“Ha!”
Kwaaaaang!
The sword swung horizontally hit the leather armor the knight was wearing.
“Ugh…”
The knight groaned softly and stepped back.
“Oooh!”
“Hold on!”
People’s excited voices were heard.
The knight did not use his aura to hold on.
Even though I held on purely by relying on my leather armor, I did not fall.
Unlike regular leather armor, which should have been torn apart like a piece of paper upon contact with the aura, there was not even a scratch on the armor the knight was wearing.
“That’s amazing.”
The king was purely amazed.
The Crown Prince looked very pleased and motioned for the knight to take off his leather armor.
Then he took off his outer clothing and put on leather armor.
“It’s more comfortable than I thought.”
Despite its uncomfortable appearance, the crown prince was satisfied with the comfortable fit.
The Crown Prince said as he put back on the outer garment he had taken off.
“I feel like I gained another life.”
The Crown Prince smiled brightly while pounding his chest.
I bowed my head to him, gave him a formal greeting, and came down from the stage.
“How on earth did you get that?”
“Was that rumor true? “This is truly amazing.”
“If we become friends now, wouldn’t we be able to get at least one?”
I felt people’s harsh gaze.
Their gazes on me were the same.
A covetous look at Reid’s leather armor that the Crown Prince had acquired.
“I am Lord Viscount Tarion….”
“Are you Lord Raymond Millennium? “I have heard of your reputation…”
A group of people came up to me and started talking to me as I headed to the corner.
It is a side effect of the crown prince’s excessive performance.
Since it is difficult to talk to the crown prince, it is easier to talk to me because I think I can get something out of it.
“ah. Nice to meet you.”
“It was nothing.”
It was quite an ordeal to receive their greetings one by one.
‘If I stay here, my body won’t be left behind.’
Too much attention has been drawn to me because of the crown prince.
This is definitely not the situation I wanted.
In particular, there were people who misunderstood my relationship with him through the Crown Prince’s words and actions.
“How did you get to know His Majesty the Crown Prince?”
“Finally, His Majesty the Crown Prince has a strong support.”
Yeah, like these guys.
Due to the crown prince’s useless actions, several people gave him subtle looks and spoke to him.
Everyone here has become the crown prince’s person.
The mere fact that I attended such an event was enough to cause misunderstanding.
“Your Majesty the Crown Prince is also a great person!”
“Where did you bring someone like this? Let’s become friends!”
I tried to ignore people’s attention and headed to the terrace.
I had a vague idea why the main characters in the novel only went to the terrace when they came to the banquet hall.
People who are busy talking don’t necessarily go to the terrace when no one is there.
“Haa….”
“Are you having a hard time?”
As I leaned against the railing, Mahol approached me carrying a tray full of glasses.
“ah. thank you.”
I took a cocktail from him and moistened my dry mouth.
“Once the party is over, get ready to go back quickly. “I’ll be leaving as soon as the meeting ends tomorrow.”
“yes.”
“I really don’t know why I came here.”
I’ve only interacted with people for a short time, but I’m already exhausted.
If they were people I needed for my work, I would have treated them with sincerity.
Judging from the first time I heard each of their names, they didn’t have much of a role in the novel.
“I wonder when it will end…”
I planned to stay here as long as possible until the party ended.
Beyond the terrace, other royal families could be seen coming to celebrate the crown prince’s birthday.
What would have happened if they had come earlier or if I had given them a gift late and they had seen that scene?
“Ugh…”
It’s scary to even imagine it.
Still, the good news is that the owner of this place is the crown prince.
The king, queen, and other royals only congratulate him and leave.
“…!”
While watching the royal family leaving, I suddenly made eye contact with the first princess who looked around.
Her eyes looking at me were so hot that I thought they were on fire.
She opened her mouth and said something to me.
He frowned and focused on her lips.
energy. all. reel. crab. yo. this.
He even made an eerie smile while saying that.
Seeing that obsessive look made skin grow on my arms.
“I’m dying from the burden.”
I smiled and waved at her.
But she looked at me with strange eyes, as if she had given some meaning to that action.
If it weren’t for the crown prince’s birthday, he looked like he would run to me at any moment.
After all the royal family left, those who had bowed their heads stood up and clung to the crown prince.
‘Even though the insiders are different, what’s the difference?’
There were a lot of people around the crown prince.
The crown prince, surrounded by dozens of people, chatted with them very comfortably.
It’s difficult to talk to people, to the point where even talking to just one person sometimes makes me feel upset.
The Crown Prince was doing it without any hesitation, not just against one person, but against dozens of people.
“For a moment…”
As I was looking at him, I made eye contact with the Crown Prince, who turned his head just in time.
He gave me a deep smile and walked towards the terrace, shaking off the people who were clinging to him.
“I’ll be back soon. “Don’t follow me, just talk there.”
What kind of safety can disobey those words?
They nodded and started talking among themselves as if they were familiar with the situation.
“What are you doing here? “The weather is chilly, so wouldn’t it be nice to meet a variety of people inside?”
What is it like to be chilly?
The weather was cool enough to feel just right.
“Because I don’t like drawing stuff that’s stuffy.”
“That sounds like me. “I don’t like stuffy things either.”
For all that, it seemed like we had a very enjoyable conversation.
The crown prince must have sensed my gaze and said with a grin.
“My position is like this, so I can’t show my true feelings. “I also like feeling the night breeze like this.”
“okay.”
I nodded.
Whatever his tastes are, it doesn’t matter to me.
“Do you like the gift?”
“It’s even weirder to receive something like this and not like it. Even the emperor of that empire would have a hard time receiving a gift like this.”
“I’m glad to hear you like it.”
The crown prince massages his breasts.
It was a face that I really liked the leather armor on.
I can tell that that’s not an expression you make to show off to someone.
“Honestly, I feel like it’s too much for me.”
“….”
“That made me want to repay you even more.”
The Crown Prince reached out and took my hand.
Seeing the calluses that form when he holds a sword for a long time, I thought he didn’t have an easy life.
“This is the first time I’ve ever felt this much for someone. “This is my first time begging like this so many times.”
I had a vague idea of what he was going to say.
“You’re the first person I’ve given a chance to like this. “It’s okay to be happy.”
“….”
“So, ask again. No, I’m asking you a favor. “Won’t you be mine?”
There was a sense of disconnect from the Crown Prince I first saw.
The crown prince I know is a person who believes that whatever he says will come true.
He does not leave alone those who disobeyed his words without knowing that it was an apology.
However, if the person is competent, give them one more chance.
All that aside, the current crown prince was strange.
Would it be strange of me if I liked the Crown Prince’s appearance more, which I thought did not suit him?
“sorry.”
The crown prince’s eyes wavered.
Who would have thought that he would refuse after going this far?
“But I will be your friend.”
“friend…?”
“yes. “What’s strange?”
The Crown Prince raises his hand and touches my lips.
“Didn’t you just call me a close friend? “I will do as you say.”
“Friend…”
The crown prince muttered quietly and suddenly burst into laughter.
“I never thought I would make such a bold friend.”
“So do i. “Who would have thought that I would become friends with His Majesty the Crown Prince?”
Being his friend rather than his person was different in many ways.
If you become his person, you cannot refuse when he orders something.
However, if you are friends, you can ask each other for favors and reward them accordingly.
And you can refuse if you think it is unreasonable.
“I have someone looking for me, so I have to go. “Have fun in moderation.”
“yes.”
“I’ll see you tomorrow.”
I bowed my head.
The crown prince took a step.
“You have a good subordinate.”
The Crown Prince, who tapped Mahol on the shoulder, disappeared between the people.
I looked at the back and took a shot of the cocktail in my hand.
“Let’s go back.”
There is no reason to stay at the party anymore.
I returned to the mansion assigned to me with Mahol.
The sun slowly began to set, and after preparing a simple meal, I went to sleep.
Thump thump thump!
Someone knocked on the door of the mansion.
He knocked on the door so hard that it seemed like he was trying to break it down rather than knocking.
“what?”
“I’ll check.”
Mahol walked quickly and opened the door.
“Move!”
As soon as the door opened, Mahol was pushed aside and a boy came inside.
“What.Why is he here…?”
This is the face I saw at the party.
“Raymond Where is Raymond!”
The three princes of the Kingdom of Serion came to visit.
