How the Prince Makes Friends - Chapter 129



Only Noblemtl

Episode 129

“……?”

Everyone looked down at the little boy sprawled on the floor with wide eyes. They wondered what on earth he was doing, but Nihil rubbed the rug with his hands and feet as if to ask if this was right.

“What the hell is this!”

“……!”

As the queen shouted, Nihil jumped up in surprise and hid behind Sedes. Sedes couldn’t understand why his son’s friend was hiding behind him, but he tried to think about it.

‘…Is this an expression for full stomach?’

Or maybe you just like rugs.

Sedes thought, ‘These days, kids don’t know even though they know.’ But he realized that he, who is not very sensitive, would never be able to find an answer no matter how much he thought about it, so he asked his son’s friend’s friend.

“…Second Prince, do you know why this child is acting like this?”

“Yes, yes? Oh, that, this, this has never happened before…, I, I’m sorry.”

Lianus also rolled his eyes and watched Nihil’s actions, not understanding them either.

At that moment, Nihil pointed at Aiden with his finger. Aiden’s face crumpled as he was pointed at, and the maid, who understood the meaning, let out a small sigh.

The maid took a cautious step forward.

“Your Majesty, may I speak?”

“…I permit it.”

“Your Majesty, I think you have misunderstood something. I don’t think you had any bad intentions, so please do not punish me.”

“How can you call lying on the floor a crime!”

Helia yelled at the maid.

The maid shivered and bent over.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry……”

“I don’t mean to criticize you for defending your child. But how can you try to cover up a wrongdoing instead of correcting it! No matter what the reason, how dare you do it in front of His Majesty…!”

“stop.”

Sedes raised a hand to silence the commotion. In fact, he didn’t want to come out because he didn’t want to talk to the queen, but the white little girl at his feet was tugging at his cloak so hard that he couldn’t help but open his mouth.

“…But Your Majesty!”

“Your Majesty, stop it. You always pretend to care about me and bring me up, while I myself have not said a word. Stop presenting your opinion as if it were mine.”

“…….”

At those words, Helia’s lips closed tightly. Even in the midst of all this, Sedes raised the corners of his lips as he looked at the queen who had not even said a word of apology to him, and nodded to the maid.

“Please continue talking.”

The maid opened her mouth cautiously, keeping an eye on the queen’s expression.

“…Your Majesty said that He would teach the white…, Master manners…….”

“…….”

“If you see any tall people, lie flat on the floor……”

“…….”

“So, I wonder if your highness misunderstood…….”

At those words, Sedes looked down at Nihil at his feet.

‘I guess I’ve already slept with you once.’

Sedes’ eyes narrowed. There was no way it could have been a misunderstanding. It was obvious that he was just trying to tease the kids.

My tongue just stuck out. I don’t know how she managed to win the maid’s favor in such a short period of time, but she was very good at getting people to reveal their shame without saying a word.

“Confucius.”

“Yes, yes, Your Majesty.”

Aiden, who had been glaring at the maid, flinched at Sedes’ call and lowered his head.

“The difference in status is clear, but that doesn’t mean we can treat each other carelessly.”

“…yes.”

“Apologize to the child first.”

“…….”

Aiden bit his lip. Asking me to apologize to a thousand things was ridiculous.

Then her younger sister Camilla came forward again.

“Your Majesty, my brother did nothing wrong! That bastard tried to harm us! Here, the Confucius hurt his knee while being chased!”

Camilla pointed at the child who had fallen in the training ground today and spoke. The child flinched when she was pointed at, then stammered as she watched Camilla’s expression.

“Oh, that’s right. I, I was trying to harm myself, and I got hurt while trying to avoid it.”

The child limped as he spoke. The wound was only a slight scrape on his knee, but since his mother had insisted that he look good in front of the prince and the grandsons, he acted with all his might.

“Were you trying to harm me?”

“Yes, yes! That guy, no, that kid, he was threatening us and chasing us!”

Camilla was talking passionately about how Bedong had been harassing them. Sedes looked at Camilla and then turned to Nihil and asked lightly.

“Did this kid swing a knife at me?”

“…yes?”

Camilla was momentarily stunned by the question, and then asked back without realizing it, before glancing at Nihil. He was the smallest of the children. Honestly, I was confident that I could win if we fought.

Sedes didn’t give time for excuses and continued asking.

“Or did he threaten to not let it go?”

“That, that’s not it…….”

Camilla was momentarily speechless and kept waving her hands. She couldn’t say that she had been chasing him to get him covered in chocolate.

“What harm did that little thing try to do to you?”

“He, he’s trying to spread the disease to us……”

“…party?”

Sedes looked at Nihil as if asking what on earth he was talking about.

“…Does it have the ability to transmit diseases?”

Nihil seemed to hesitate a bit at the question, then raised both his arms in a threatening manner. Then, just as he had done to the children, he threatened Sedes and hugged his thighs tightly.

“……?”

Silence fell in the living room.

When Sethes didn’t react as he pondered the meaning of his actions, Nihil tilted his head, raised his hand again in a threatening gesture, and hugged him again.

“…her.”

Am I being threatened right now?

I couldn’t help but laugh. It seemed like the kids were avoiding my son’s friend, treating him like a plague ghost.

Nihil tilted his head as if to ask why Sedes wasn’t afraid of him. Then he raised his hand again as if threatening.

Snap!

Sedes was caught three times by a most fearsome beast, so he could not keep his mouth shut.

“Really…, it’s scary.”

“…….”

“Is Jim sick now?”

Nod nod!

The little boy nodded. It was a powerful nod, as if he had done it himself, and he seemed very proud.

“This is… serious. Isn’t that right, Your Majesty?”

“…….”

“The murder of a royal family? It’s been a long time since blood flowed from the guillotine. It’s a shame that it’s the blood of a child.”

“yes?!”

The kitten that was listening jumped up in surprise. It was Sedes’s words to mock the children, but the oblivious Rianus seemed to think it was sincere.

“T-What do you mean! My, my friend doesn’t have any illness or anything!”

As he said that, Rianus quickly pulled Nihil away from Sedes’ thigh, creating some distance between them. Then, as if he would never let Nihil be taken away from him, he hid Nihil behind him and continued to speak while sobbing.

“I, really. I’m not that fine.”

“…….”

“My best friend is clean. He, he took a bath with me too!”

“…….”

“Well, we’ve already slept together for several nights! And yet you’re still fine…!”

“…….”

“Heeeeelp…….”

Tears began to well up in Rianus’ eyes. While Sedes was watching Rianus like that and was unable to respond because he was thinking of teasing him, Rianus turned around and whispered to his friend.

“Sniff, Neil…, run away.”

“…….”

“I’ll do it later, no……”

Lianus was about to say that he would call again when he became king, but changed his mind, thinking that it might be impossible or, even if it were possible, it would take too long.

“Just…, sniffle, just come with me. Sniffle, take me with you.”

“…….”

“Evan, take him with you.”

“…….”

“Ah… I have to take care of Robert too….”

Rianus muttered as he thought of the little puppy, then he looked at Nihil’s expression and continued hesitantly.

“Robert Bob, you can take my share away from me….”

“…….”

“Yes…, Pupu too…, can I take him? Pupu doesn’t eat.”

“…….”

Nihil shivered again. It was quite embarrassing to hold back laughter as he watched the little prince sort out what he would pack to run away. It seemed like a really excellent choice to cover his face with cotton.

The prince, who had been mentally listing a few more things to pack, glanced at his father and continued speaking in a low voice.

“Later, very-later…, when His Majesty’s hair turns white and he forgets, then I will come back.”

“Khuhuh……!”

***

Sedes looked at his second son, who was planning to run away and waiting for him to get dementia, with a complicated look. Right now, his second son’s cheeks were swollen and looked like they would burst at any moment. This was because the queen had separated the princes’ luncheon from the children’s.

Lunch should have been cancelled, of course, but the Queen insisted on having them sit down, making up the ridiculous excuse that she needed to have a reconciliation dinner with her children.

Thanks to that, my son’s friend was sitting alone among other noble children. Being stuck between them, his already small body looked even smaller.

“Hey, you don’t know how to hold dishes?”

“What do the common people eat to live?”

“They say you eat rats. Is that true?”

“…….”

Nihil ignored the children and looked towards Rianus. Seeing the blown-up seaweed that seemed to have no intention of controlling its expression, he felt like he was going to burst out laughing again.

Nihil jumped down from his chair to appease Miyeok. His father looked at him with anxious eyes, wondering what he was going to do next, but he ignored him.

Knock, knock… … .

The sound of chairs being dragged echoed throughout the dining room. The servants approached Nihil, who was moving the chair in surprise, but Nihil slapped away the hands that tried to stop him and continued to move the chair diligently.

Knock, knock, chin.

The chair scraped the floor hard and got caught on the chin.

Nihil paused for a moment and looked up. The kitten was looking down with wide eyes. Next to it, the baby snake was furrowing its eyebrows.

‘It’s hard to pretend that something small is noble.’

“I, I, Young Master, you can’t go up there.”

While Nihil was examining the first prince, a maid opened her mouth fidgeting. Nihil slapped the hand that was trying to hug her and quickly lifted up a chair that was bigger than his body.

“Your Majesty, it is dangerous.”

Then one of the men on guard came over, snatched my chair away, and put it back in its place.

“…….”

Nihil looked at his empty hands after losing the chair, then looked at the man with discontent. However, perhaps because he was wearing a face mask, his gaze did not convey the feeling.

Chin, chin.

The chair was taken away, but instead of returning to its original position, it kicked its feet vigorously and climbed onto the chin. The servants could be heard making a startled sound, but it ignored them all and scurried over to the kitten, where it collapsed on the floor.

A scuffle broke out to get Nihil off, but the servants were helpless as he held on tightly to the chair of Lianus, wrapping his arms and legs around it.

Perhaps it was frustrating to see my state, so the first prince eventually frowned and argued.

“Rianus, your belly is acting up because you’re just sitting there! Take care of it properly!”

“…How can you manage your close friend?”

“No matter how close you are to each other, there is a hierarchy.”

“My close friend is not inferior to me.”

Lianus spat out in a grumpy tone and jumped down from his chair. Only then did Nihil release his grip on the chair.

“If it’s a problem for my friend to come up, I’ll go down. You can eat here alone.”

Lawrence’s eyes trembled slightly at those words, but Lianus did not notice.

“Your Majesty, may I dine next to your friend?”

“Do whatever you want.”

As Sedes waved his hand as if it didn’t matter, Rianus quickly grabbed Nihil’s hand and led him to the table where the children were sitting.

The queen frowned. In a situation where the luncheon was almost canceled, it was not right to kick out Baedong for being rude.

It didn’t matter that the child acted like he was uneducated, because it would only tarnish the image of the second prince. However, he didn’t expect Baedong to be this stupid.

‘I expected that he would be very timid, running away from the servants, but even in this situation, he clings to the Second Prince and relies on him.’

It didn’t seem like he would change his behavior just by being scolded with words, since he seemed to lack intelligence. It was hard to deal with someone so stupid that he couldn’t reason with logic.

Chook-.

Helia opened her eyes and covered her lower body. Her red eyes flashed brightly, containing Nihil.
