How the Prince Makes Friends - Chapter 153

Episode 153

“Ugh-!”

When I opened my eyes, I saw a familiar ceiling.

“What the heck is this dream….”

A dog dream… or was it a cat dream? They say dreams with white animals are good dreams, but this wasn’t a good dream at all.

Evan got up and washed his face dry. His hands were shaking slightly. Strangely, the sensation of cracking his delicate neck was all too vivid.

‘What did I do to that real cat when I was drunk?’

But the cat had fun watching the footage he took of himself the next day, even sleeping with his arm cut off that morning.

‘You wouldn’t normally sleep next to someone who strangled you, would you…?’

In addition to that, he also gave me medicine and chocolate, and for the past few days, he woke up early in the morning and helped me train. His arrogant behavior and speech were no different from usual.

Evan was mulling over this and that to calm his mind and body, and then he remembered the guy’s recent change in clothes, so he threw off the covers and jumped out of bed.

‘It was covering my neck… …!’

Yes, it was from that day on. I dressed up under the pretext of a quarterly evaluation.

Even though I was wearing it, it was wrapped tightly in a robe because of my ears and tail, so it was useless to wear it. A woman who looked like Mrs. Sakare or something came and kept pointing out the robe.

Of course, every time I pointed it out, the robe became more and more luxurious.

Evan ran upstairs. The sun hadn’t risen yet, so the cat was probably still asleep. He wouldn’t wake up no matter how much he was shaken until he was called, so he wouldn’t be caught even if he checked on him secretly.

Evan hurried into the prince’s bedroom, took a deep breath, and approached the sleeping tomcat.

The ribbon and frills that went up to the neck were the first things that caught my eye.

But what if I check it? If there’s no problem, that’s great, but what if my handprint remains?

Evan began to feel conflicted. Wouldn’t it be better to just pretend not to know? Maybe it was just a dream, or maybe it was a cat dream.

‘no.’

I shook my head. It wasn’t something I could do by pretending not to know. At the very least, I had to know for sure whether the wildcat knew and was pretending not to know or had no idea at all.

Evan reached out, thinking that hesitating any longer would be a waste of time. Looking at the trembling fingertips, he was worried that the lynx might wake up.

Tick, tick-.

Are my hands too big or are his buttons too small?

I was so nervous that the little bastard would wake up, but the button kept slipping out of my hands.

“Junior.”

“Eww!”

“……!”

Evan was startled by the sudden call, and Frederick jumped in surprise at Evan’s violent reaction.

The two stared at each other with their eyes wide open before turning their gaze to the bed. Fortunately, the little ones did not wake up.

Frederick raised an eyebrow and whispered questioningly.

“No, why are you yelling like that?”

“…I’m sorry, sir.”

“So why did you suddenly come in the middle of the night and try to take off my clothes?”

“Yes, yes? Oh, no, that’s not it……”

“Junior, I didn’t see it like that…, you are very shameless.”

As he said that, Frederick narrowed his eyes and glared at Evan.

“No! I just need to check something…….”

“Do you really have to come at dawn and take off the sleeping master’s clothes to check?”

“No, why are you saying that again! If someone hears it, they’ll misunderstand…, ugh!”

Evan was explaining when he suddenly got up and saw the lynx staring at him intently. He screamed in surprise and covered his mouth.

“Hey…, are you awake….”

“Please explain.”

“…What are you talking about?”

“You were trying to take my clothes off.”

“No, that’s not it!”

“Be quiet. You’ll wake the baby.”

“…….”

I’m dying from this unfair treatment!

“I never thought that the child would like it….”

“Hey, don’t turn people into trash!”

This kid is really going to be in big trouble!

“Then surely……”

“…No way.”

The cat’s pupils began to tremble uncontrollably. Looking at those eyes, Evan also began to feel uneasy.

It was clear that something had happened that day. Otherwise, why would the guy be so agitated… …!

“…Cats…, are that your taste…….”

…what?

“I should have known when you were calling my master a kitten or something……”

The cat muttered and then pulled down the ears that were sticking out on top of its head. Then, it hid its tail, which had been hanging out, under the blanket.

As Evan gaped at the absurd conclusion, Frederick struck a fatal blow.

“A cat… Well, any man can have such a fantasy. I had one time too…, ahem… But, junior, you are too young….”

“No! That’s not true!”

“Yes? Do you hate cats?”

“Oh, no, it’s not that I don’t like cats…….”

“…As expected, it’s trash….”

“Ahhhh!”

The puppy writhed and pulled at his hair. Nihil watched Evan like that and sneakily checked his front porch. Fortunately, it seemed like he hadn’t been caught.

“…But still, rather than attacking the child, I…….”

“Ahh! No! No! You crazy bastard, don’t unbutton your buttons!”

“but……!”

“I, I was wrong…! I said I was wrong! I’m trash! Huh? I’m trash!”

The innocent puppy howled and ran out of the bedroom. Frederick grumbled, asking where he was going without even changing shifts, but soon turned his gaze and stared at Nihil.

“What happened?”

“…Why are you asking me that?”

“There’s no way my junior would come to me in the middle of the night with a pale face and do something like this for no reason.”

“That’s what I’m going to say. Just ask me and come back.”

Why did you suddenly try to check the back of my neck?

“…Then, before I go, if you could give me one more training session…….”

“Aren’t you going back…?”

Nihil glared at the borrowed dog that was still hanging around in the Second Prince’s palace even after two weeks had passed.

“Let’s extend the escort for one more day, okay?”

“I’ll find out why the puppy did that.”

“Haha! I’ll dig into it one by one!”

As he said this, Frederick ran out and went over to Evan, who was crouching in front of the bedroom door, and they crouched down together and started talking.

‘There are nothing but idiots around me.’

Nihil looked through the crack of the door that was gradually narrowing and then closing with a thud and got up to look for a mirror.

‘That’s why you shouldn’t do anything different from usual.’

With that thought in mind, I checked the back of my neck.

Now, the bruise was visible, fading away as much as it could.

“Tsk.”

Nihil clicked his tongue as he recalled the day the dog-boy came back drunk and turned into a piece of cake.

“Evan, the prince needs to sleep too, so let’s stop now……”

“It’s my cat. Don’t take it away!”

“Haa… I guess I’ll have to relearn the etiquette for royalty.”

Walter sighed, rubbing his forehead.

Not only did he call the royal family a cat, but he also behaved so selfishly. It was fortunate that the prince accepted him well.

Evan sobbed and hugged Lianus tighter.

“I… I’ll do whatever I want!”

“Yeah, yeah. Sir Evan, you can do whatever you want.”

Lianus, whose face was crushed by Evan’s chest, stared at Evan for a while before moving slowly to wipe the tears from his eyes.

“Sir Ernest, I’m fine. Don’t worry and go home. You worked hard as an escort today.”

“…But, Prince.”

“I’m fine. Neil, you can sleep here too.”

Nod nod.

Nihil, who had found a good video, nodded willingly, smiling contentedly at the thought of teasing the puppy.

“You bad cat! You sleep on the floor!”

“…….”

Although he was not allowed to go up to the bed and was kicked out to the floor, Nihil was a wild cat who knew how to make his own bed, so he naturally brought a blanket and spread it on the floor.

It was already late enough that the kitten came up and meowed and growled until it couldn’t overcome the squeak and fell asleep.

After Evan, who had been mumbling something, became quiet, the stubborn manager left work. His face was filled with worry, so it seemed like he had a deeper connection with the puppy than I thought.

Nihil wasn’t particularly tired, so he got up from his bed again, thinking he’d make some hangover cures and go to bed.

“Your Majesty? Where are you going?”

Despite Frederick’s call, Nihil opened the bedroom door. But for some reason, the puppy got up and started to wriggle, abandoning the kitten and chasing after it.

Nihil just let the puppy chase after him. Isn’t that what they call drunken talk? He must have something to say.

And… there were things to take care of, so it was a good thing.

Nihil narrowed his eyes and looked at Evan, then turned around and walked away.

“A wildcat… I have to catch it.”

“…….”

If that’s true talk while drunk, then it seems like it’s no different than usual.

Nihil looked at the puppy for a moment, then looked down the hallway, which had no windows and thus no light.

It was like the inside of a long beast’s throat.

Just as I was about to take another step, a familiar yet unfamiliar sensation prickled my skin. It was so faint and disappeared so quickly that I was a little skeptical, but I couldn’t have felt it wrong.

fleshy.

One of Nihil’s eyebrows went up crookedly.

‘Is that what it means to catch?’

Did he mistake himself for someone else, or did he really feel murderous intent toward himself? It wouldn’t be a side effect like his memories returning. Those kinds of guys don’t hesitate.

Step by step.

Thud… , thud… .

Thump, thump, thump.

Thud… thud… thud… thud-.

“…….”

The puppy followed me, but fell over, unable to overcome my body. Nihil stood there for a moment and waited for the puppy to get up again.

But the guy didn’t get up right away, but just stared at himself blankly and opened his mouth as if he was resentful.

“Why…, why are you waiting…?”

“…….”

“Just, just go……”

“…….”

“Go. Just…, go away. Disappear.”

“…….”

“please…….”

Nihil quietly watched Evan, who was following him and telling him to go, then took off his mittens and hood and walked towards him.

“…….”

“…….”

An anxious gaze, unable to focus properly and as if it would crumble at any moment, was looking at Nihil.

A low sound was let out from the lips that had been quivering several times, and then cracked.

“…Should I blame you?”

“…….”

Nihil couldn’t figure out why the puppy was saying such things. However, seeing that he came home unusually late and had been drinking heavily, it was easy to guess that something had happened.

Who is it? The queen? Or some other force?

The guy’s loyalty towards Rianus was sincere. Also, Rianus, who had a good sense of strange places, was sincere to the puppy, so he didn’t think the guy would betray him.

‘Is there even a weak point?’

Nihil squinted his eyes and opened them again, then examined Evan’s mana.

There was evidence of a contract that I had never seen before. It was a bit ambiguous to say that they were parties to the contract, but it was clear that something was tied up… … .

It’s not difficult for me to forcibly terminate a contract, but if a hostage has been taken, it’s not something that can be resolved by terminating the contract.

After thinking for a moment, Nihil carefully raised his hand and covered Evan’s eyes.

“This is nothing but nonsense, so do as you wish.”

But I couldn’t help but feel a little bitter.
