How the Prince Makes Friends - Chapter 235



Only Noblemtl

Episode 235

Evan felt wronged. It seemed a bit too much for the Master to scold him without even knowing the circumstances and take the prince away.

I just wanted to tell you about the day I first met the prince and how cute he was!

Wasn’t it Karus who asked you to bring your precious person in the first place? So if you’re going to get scolded, you should get scolded together.

“…Cool.”

Evan, who had been looking at the floor, turned his gaze to find a scapegoat to listen to his nagging along with him. Then he found Karus lying face down on the table and his eyes widened.

“Master, no matter how angry you are, Carus is a man of letters who only reads letters. If you beat him up like that….”

“…No, Evan. Aren’t you the one who dealt with the Marquis……”

“……?”

Was that so? Evan tilted his head and then lowered his eyes again.

‘But did I explain it properly to the prince?’

As he was absentmindedly thinking about that, something suddenly popped up in front of his eyes and looked up at him. It was a bright-eyed baby with two different colored eyes.

The baby spoke.

“Sir Evan… are you okay?”

“…Your Majesty.”

Evan, remembering the day he first met the kitten, smiled brightly and hugged Lianus tightly, completely forgetting that his master was in front of him.

“Prince, prince.”

“Yeah, yeah.”

“I thought I was raising fairies in the palace.”

“…fairy?”

“I was lost in the palace… and then suddenly a baby popped out from the bushes.”

“……?”

Lianus blinked. Is this Sir Evan’s dream? Why did Sir Evan get lost in the castle and a baby come out of the bushes?

“The baby was meowing and crying……”

“Oh… I see.”

I guess the dream story is true. Otherwise, why would the baby meow?

“Eung… that was really cute.”

‘So much so that I want to protect it.’

Evan hugged his little master tightly and opened his mouth softly.

“…Your Majesty, would you grant me one favor?”

* * *

‘Where is this…?’

Karus looked around. It was filled with trees. There were Sylphys circling around him that he hadn’t summoned, but he didn’t find it particularly strange.

Karus was just sitting there blankly for a while before deciding to walk. If he kept walking, he would find a path.

Then Sylphy tapped my shoulder and pointed somewhere.

‘Huh? Huh!’

I saw Inyoung crouching a little way away. Even though she was crouching, she showed off her large body, so I thought it was my secret friend Evan.

‘Evan!’

Karus ran over to him with a happy heart. Evan greeted him warmly when he saw him.

‘Carus!’

‘Evan, what are you doing here?’

‘What is going on in the Fairy Forest, Karus?’

‘… Fairy Forest?’

Karus tilted his head at the mention of the Fairy Forest. Then he nodded. It seemed like there was such a forest.

‘Carus, look at this. I picked up a cat fairy.’

‘…huh?’

Karus blinked. Can you pick up fairies in the Fairy Forest?

But what Evan showed was not a fairy, but a two-year-old looking prince.

Karus cautiously called out to the prince, who was tilting his head while still holding the key in Evan’s hand.

‘… Prince?’

‘meow!’

‘???’

Karus’s pupils fluttered slightly as if an earthquake had occurred at the unexpected answer. For some reason, Karus had a feeling that the reason the prince was meowing was because of his secret friend.

‘Eh, Evan, no matter what, what if you ask the prince to do something like this!’

Karus tore at his hair. If His Majesty saw this, he would probably cut off my secret friend’s head.

Then Evan rummaged through his pockets and pulled out the leash.

‘Mom, why the leash?’

‘I picked it up, so I’ll raise it.’

‘Huh, huh?’

‘Now, fairy, you must remain quiet.’

‘meow!’

‘Hold on, hold on, Evan! No matter how cute the prince is, the leash… … !’

“no!”

Bam, bang!

“Carus, what’s going on!”

“Huh…, Huh…?”

Carus stared blankly at the unfamiliar ceiling with his hands outstretched.

Chitchat, chitchat, the sound of birds chirping could be heard.

Bam!

Surprised, Carus raised his upper body and looked around. The forest where the trees had been thick was gone.

“Is this… the prince’s palace?”

“Yes, Karus. Did you have a nightmare?”

“ah…….”

I had a dream. It was a bit ambiguous to call it a nightmare, but it was a dream that made me think it was fortunate.

‘Your Majesty, please meow.’

Then that too must have been a dream. Karus rubbed his chest, relieved that his secret friend would not be captured by His Majesty.

“Phew, I’m glad it was a dream.”

“By the way, Karus, it’s already noon. I was going to ask the prince what he would like for lunch.”

“Oh, of course I should go!”

I couldn’t let the prince, who was already lonely without any close friends, eat alone.

Karus simply changed into his clothes and went straight down to the dining room.

In the dining room, a large, long table that seemed to have been used before was pushed to the corner, and a relatively small table occupied the center. The shape of the table was round, showing an attempt to blur the distinction between the upper and lower tables as much as possible, and Carus smiled without realizing it.

The prince was sitting on either side of him, holding a rabbit and a teddy bear, each holding a black fur ball, for some reason. Karus was a little taken aback, seeing the prince bring toys to the table for the first time, but thanks to him, he was able to have his secret friend sit next to him.

“Evan, eat this!”

Karus chuckled as he watched the prince naturally handing over the paprika to his secret friend. It was right to appease the picky prince, but Evan, who was eating it with his eyes tightly shut, was so funny that he didn’t want to stop him.

“But Prince, when will your friend arrive?”

“Huh? Ah!”

The prince, who was sitting next to me while eating and gently setting up a rabbit doll, smiled brightly at my question and answered brightly.

“I’ll come back when I find everything!”

“What… are you talking about?”

“Well… ”

dripping.

“Your Majesty, it’s Sergio!”

At that moment, there was a knock on the door and Sergio came rushing into the dining room.

“I, I heard that the Duke’s, no, the curse of the spirit is spreading through me… It’s like I’m possessed by a ghost… Ugh, aaaah! The Duke’s household is turned upside down!”

“Huh, huh? You didn’t mean to say fall behind, but to turn over…?”

“yes……?”

“I’ll be back soon though!”

Lianus smiled brightly at the thought of his friend returning. The rabbit doll’s ears perked up slightly.

* * *

The carriage made a loud jump as if it had hit a rock.

“Your Majesty, are you alright?”

“It’s okay. You don’t have to worry about these things every day.”

Lawrence smiled faintly at his servant, Benjamin, and then put the box back in his arms.

Inside the box was a soft, cotton-like candy. Since it required magic stones to process, it was a rare dessert that even Prince Lawrence had only ever eaten on one hand.

Because it melts when it comes into contact with water, like regular sugar, it was even harder to find in the humid summer, but soon I heard a rumor that it was being produced in the kingdom, so I was the first to get it.

‘… You’ll like it to this extent, right?’

“Your Majesty, is it so good?”

“yes?”

“Aren’t you still laughing?”

“ah.”

Lawrence quickly wiped away his foolish smile and cleared his throat. He must have smiled stupidly without realizing it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have said such things to himself, who always had a smiling face.

“The grandsons will surely be pleased with the prince’s gift.”

“I hope so.”

Lawrence replied vaguely, raising the corners of his mouth artificially. It wasn’t his cousins ​​he wanted to meet, but he had to look that way on the surface.

After a while the carriage stopped and the door opened.

“Welcome, Your Majesty.”

“Welcome, Prince!”

As we arrived at the Duke’s townhouse, Aiden and Camilla came out to greet us.

“It’s a gift, Aiden.”

“……?”

When I handed him the box of cotton candy, Aiden looked at me with a puzzled look, but smiled brightly after checking the contents.

“Thank you, Prince!”

“What is it, what is it? Oppa, show me. Wow, it’s cotton candy!”

Was it cotton candy instead of cotton candy? Lawrence tilted his head, then thought he had not misspoken and followed the grandsons to the playroom.

“Oh, Prince, Prince, do you know? There’s a ghost in our mansion!”

Camilla, who wanted to play with dolls, and Aiden, who wanted to play with war, actively accepted their ideas, and while they were playing war with dolls dressed in fancy dresses, Camilla suddenly brought up a ghost story.

“I told you, that’s all bullshit.”

“No, brother. The nanny got lost in the mansion too.”

“……?”

Lawrence, who was listening, tilted his head. He said it was a ghost, but what does that have to do with being lost?

At that, Aiden snorted and replied.

“Speak sense.”

“No. There’s no way the nanny would get lost in our mansion, let alone somewhere else.”

“You fool, do you believe that? I was just saying that to tease you.”

“…….”

Camilla pouted, perhaps offended by her brother’s tantrum, and then looked at Lawrence.

“Prince, if you see a ghost, you must tell me?”

“ah…….”

Lawrence laughed awkwardly. After all, he didn’t believe in ghosts himself.

“Hey, I told you there’s no such thing as ghosts?”

“No, there is! There was a maid who thought she had climbed all the stairs but fell because there was another step left. There was also a servant who said she had definitely never gone down the stairs but before she knew it, she was in the basement food storage… ”

“That’s ridiculous! I must have just been walking around with my mind wandering and made a mistake!”

“Some people say they saw a long, white shadow at night!”

“There are no ghosts! Only the cowardly and the stupid believe in that.”

“No! There are ghosts! And I’m not stupid!”

Eventually, the noblemen began to fight in front of Lawrence. Lawrence watched the scene and then quietly got up from his seat.

“Huh, huh? Prince, where are you going?”

“The prince got angry because you were talking nonsense.”

“Ah… no. I’ll go to the bathroom for a moment.”

Lawrence left the playroom after telling them to go play for a bit and to come back later. He checked to see if the box of cotton candy he had kept in his arms was still there.

The servants and the knights of honor followed me as usual. Lawrence glanced at them and, searching his memory, hurried to the room where Baedong had been before. If I was too late, my cousins ​​might misunderstand strangely.

‘I’m worried about the guys following me, but… … .’

However, you can’t separate the servant and the escort. They’ll definitely think it’s suspicious.

‘Maybe I should just say that I felt so bad for Baedong that I wanted to take care of him a little… … .’

Lawrence, who did not want to admit that he wanted to buy the favor of a thousand things, naturally came up with an excuse.

dripping.

Lawrence arrived at the room where Baedong was staying without any particular obstacles and knocked lightly on the door. Then he suddenly realized something was strange and tilted his head to the side.

‘Why isn’t anyone guarding it?’

When I came here before, there was definitely a guard standing guard in front of the door… … .

Lawrence turned the doorknob slightly. It wasn’t locked.

But the room was extremely quiet.

“…Neil?”

I awkwardly called out his name, but there was no sign of life.

I wondered if they had moved rooms, and as I looked around the room, I saw a meal that had not yet cooled down. Just like before, there was no sign of it having been touched, but I doubt they would have served food to a room that no one had been assigned to.

‘Did you go to the bathroom…?’

Lawrence fiddled with the box in his arms. He thought about just going back, but that would hurt his pride.

“Benjamin, call the Duke’s servant, …?”

I tried to tell my servant to bring the Duke’s servant to find out where Baedong was, but

“…Benjamin?”

There was no one behind me.
