Became an Academy Spearman - Chapter 608



608. Dinner with the Royal Family – Rachel Luabella

***

After all the games scheduled for Saturday were over, the entire capital was abuzz with talk about the Grand Colosseum.

And the ones at the center of the topic are definitely the two people who advanced to the semifinals.

ㅡHan Cheon-seong, Azazel Shineleaf.

The presence that the two showed in today’s game was so strong that their names were clearly engraved in the audience.

And among them, Cheonseong opened his eyes late.

… … .

Blink.

“… … .”

When I opened my eyes in a daze, the inside was stained red by the setting sun.

When I saw that, I felt like my heart sank for a moment.

‘time is?’

6:07 PM.

I quickly checked the time, and luckily there was still time left until dinner time. As soon as I realized that, my heart sank.

“I never thought I could sleep so deeply just by resting for a while.”

Even as I spoke, a laugh escaped me.

Then, in a daze, my eyes fell on a nearby table. I slowly got up, looking at the livery beautifully laid out on the table. Now I had to take a shower right away and get ready to go.

I finished my shower so quickly and started changing my clothes right away.

Sreuk, sreuk.

Even the feeling of the clothes brushing against the skin was different.

As I dressed up in the uniform given to me by an official who visited my accommodation on the way, I looked at my reflection in the full-length mirror.

The luxurious, red-colored uniform fit my body surprisingly well. It was so amazing that I couldn’t stop admiring it.

“Is there a different way to know? How does it fit so perfectly?”

Clothing to attend the dinner party.

It was a small consideration, but even that alone made me feel strange.

Even in the morning, I couldn’t think of anything else about the match with Leonhard. But as evening approached, I decided to attend the dinner as if it were a given.

– Dinner with the royal family.

It was a truly unexpected invitation for me as well.

Sigh!

After I was fully dressed, I took my hand away from the cold black tie. And when I checked my appearance in the mirror, I saw that it was just neat and tidy.

It’s a little funny, but I don’t think it’s that bad to see myself dressed like this.

At least you don’t have to think that you’re being judged by your appearance anywhere you go.

“… … .”

As I was checking my clothes for the final time, I suddenly remembered Rachel’s voice that I had heard along the way.

-I really want to invite you to a dinner party in the evening. I would like to congratulate you on your victory, and if you think you have formed a proper relationship with me, I think you will accept an offer like this.

Rachel came to me as I was leaving the Colosseum after the game. I had no choice but to accept her transparent voice on the spot.

Even now that I think about it, there was no other way.

“How should I treat her?”

Even though I was speaking blankly, it was strange.

I definitely thought that my relationship with Rachel should continue. However, she thought that my relationship with her had become very strange since our last meeting.

It was a huge mistake to show my strange feelings for her first, and when she approached me instead of rejecting my feelings, I was even more shocked.

Even I couldn’t figure it out. Why did I have such feelings for Rachel, but she couldn’t even imagine that she would accept me.

At that time, after a few days of deep thought, I pushed Rachel away by breaking my heart. She had been careful of her actions so that she would not encounter him again in the future.

In fact, even now, Rachel’s face sometimes flickers.

Nevertheless, I tried to deny my feelings.

“I didn’t know you would come again.”

On the one hand, Rachel’s approach was burdensome, and on the other hand, I wondered if she had made such a big deal out of it that I had to say it again.

In the past, I rejected her feelings. And then Rachel told me, as if she were assuring me, that she was not thinking of cutting off ties with her, that her relationship was not over.

…That was our last meeting.

As I thought about it, my heart calmed down without me realizing it.

“ha… … .”

I let out a deep sigh and wiped my face.

The current situation is so-called… I dumped her. And yet she came up to me and spoke to me again.

Anyone who knows how big of a deal that is will know.

In fact, I still couldn’t understand how much I had hurt her pride as a member of the royal family by being rejected by a commoner.

But now, ironically, I had to go see Rachel again.

Both of our situations were like that, and I had no reason to reject her offer.

“The reason you asked me to come alone… … .”

I felt the meaning of what she said to me very clearly.

It felt like he was telling me to face him directly instead of avoiding him.

Crash.

Even though I thought about it, I eventually opened the door.

There was no point in just thinking about how much time was left, and it was even more impossible for me to be late for a dinner party with the royal family.

***

An imperial villa located in the imperial capital.

As there were several members of the royal family who participated in various events and festivals within the empire, spaces where the royal family could stay existed throughout the empire, including the capital, even outside of the imperial family.

This was because the imperial family could not sleep in the same inns and lodgings as the citizens of the empire, and the scale of such villa-like buildings was, of course, beyond a reasonable scale in order to show the authority of the imperial family.

Again.

And there was a woman heading to the spacious banquet hall in the villa.

Wearing a special red dress cut by a craftsman, shiny blonde hair, and distinct features. Anyone who looked at her outstanding beauty, which seemed to brighten up even the surroundings, could not help but draw attention.

ㅡRachel Luabella.

He was the one who created the banquet held today and invited several high-ranking nobles.

“I’m sure you won’t miss the dinner… … .”

At the sound of Luabella’s muttering voice, the golden knights, Selene and Elin, who were walking next to her, momentarily looked at each other with faint smiles.

“It seems like the princess is very worried.”

“Han Tiansheng will definitely come. Princess.”

As Selene and Elin answered lightly, Rachel smiled awkwardly.

“huh. I definitely think so too. But still, I feel strange for no reason.”

When he muttered in a voice filled with strange hesitation, Selene was about to say something but then closed her mouth.

‘Is this really possible?’

Even as I thought to myself, I could hardly get used to the princess’s anxious appearance.

The dinner party held today.

From anyone’s perspective, the subjects were Prince Dersen and Princess Rachel. And the princess personally invited us. He had even personally visited Han Cheon-seong and received confirmation that he should come to the dinner party.

‘But you couldn’t attend.’

I had mixed feelings about how much the princess thought so highly of him that she thought such absurd things.

Again.

As I walked like that, my eyes inadvertently fell on Princess Rachel.

Her blonde hair swaying as she walked with the sound of her shoes and her gorgeous red dress made her look extremely beautiful just from the back.

The most noble and noble person in the empire.

From noble mtl dot come

However, now that you have become entangled with a man, a commoner, your confidence has plummeted.

No matter how talented Han Cheon-seong was, I did not approve of him confusing Princess Rachel like this.

Sreuk.

Without realizing it, I clenched my hands and opened my mouth.

“The princess. “I’m cautious, but there’s one thing I want to tell you.”

“say.”

Seeing the princess answering calmly, I composed myself.

“I think it would be best not to pay too much attention to a man named Han Cheon-seong.”

Tuk.

The princess, who was calmly walking along with my words, stopped.

“Selene, what do you mean?”

Grumbling.

Slowly turning her head towards me, I saw the princess staring at me intensely through her disheveled blonde hair.

“That’s literally it. “I can’t say that I know much about men, but I’ve heard that the more a man approaches a woman, the more likely he is to stay away from her.”

“…So, don’t pay any attention to me?”

“I think excessive attention could actually make him feel burdened.”

It was obviously presumptuous.

How dare the guard knight give this advice about the princess’s private area. Still, I felt like I had to say it.

“I feel burdened… .”

When the eyes that first looked at me softened a little, I spoke with confidence.

“I think the reason he gave that answer before was that there was a big difference in our positions. Any other man would have been willing to give everything up to the princess’s words, but Han Cheon-seong seemed a bit different to me. therefore. “It would be better to keep a little distance.”

I spoke calmly, but to be honest, I wanted him to stop paying attention at all.

Princess Rachel is someone who can be loved more than anyone else.

For a person like that to have his heart tied up with a commoner who is already involved with several women… … As someone who had protected the princess for many years, I felt bad.

‘Even if there is no one with talent similar to Han Tiansheng.’

If there was only one man who would love the princess, there would be many in this world.

“Hmm… … . Selene, you definitely have a point. Now that I think about it, it might definitely be the case. “Maybe I was too hasty.”

“I cautiously agree with Selene. Rather than approaching, it may be more effective to look at them while giving them some space.”

When Elin agreed with what I said, I felt a little relieved.

“okay? Elin, do you really feel better that way? Rather than openly expressing interest?”

“yes. Although this is absolutely not suitable for the princess, she often says that easy women are not attractive. In that sense, I think Han Cheon-seong would be similar. “She must be confident in her ability to date women, as she has already been in relationships with several women.”

As Elin continued speaking, I was a little surprised.

‘I don’t think it’s that bad.’

Even though I don’t really like Han Cheon-seong after he reflected rejection in the princess’s heart, she says that he is a woman’s ally. It sounded a little strange.

Jerk.

And then, when I heard the sound of footsteps not far away, my gaze involuntarily turned to me.

In private conversations with the princess, the sound was blocked from the moment the first words were spoken so that no one could hear them.

When I raised my head to see who was approaching, I was immediately startled.

“why… .”

Why is Han Tiansheng already here?

And at this timing… … .
