Episode 244

Lawrence squeezed his eyes shut. Both his eyes and his palms felt very hot.

“Your Highness, I told you to be well-behaved and serve me.”

“Blood, no need. I can do it by myself, so don’t come in!”

Lawrence stopped Sergio from entering the bathroom. He couldn’t let anyone else see his pink hair.

But for Lawrence, who had always had a servant girl attached to him, the current situation was extremely confusing.

‘Now I just need to wash the foam off, right?’

I fumbled around for a ladle and scooped up some water. My arms were shaking and I dropped the ladle several times, but I somehow managed to rinse my hair.

‘I can do it on my own.’

If even Rian can do it, what can’t he do?

Although it took much longer than usual to wash, Lawrence was proud of himself for finally getting it done.

‘Now, if you just wear a gown and go out… … .’

Slippery-

“……!”

My vision spun around.

In that brief moment, all sorts of thoughts passed through my mind.

If you were caught falling in the bathroom, everyone would laugh at you. Even Prince Sergius would look at you as if he knew it would happen… If you hit your head and fainted… … .

‘no!’

Lawrence flailed his arms and legs desperately, wanting nothing more than to be found naked in the bathroom.

puck!

“Ugh.”

“……?”

Something hit my hand.

“You have to be careful, Pinkie.”

“?!?”

It would have been better to just fall down quietly.

Lawrence, who had accidentally hit Nihil in the face, opened his mouth in shock and quickly covered his body with a towel.

“When on earth did you get in here?”

“When you kick out Sergio.”

“Wh, I didn’t hear the door opening….”

“I used teleportation magic. It’ll be cold if the door opens while I’m washing.”

“…….”

It was a truly thoughtful consideration that was not even a speck of consideration. Is this the consideration that Lianus spoke of without considering the other person?

“Wait a minute, so doesn’t that mean you’ve been here a while ago and been looking around?”

“yes.”

“You should have asked permission before coming in!”

“Then I told you not to come in. And this is my bathroom?”

“…….”

Of course that’s true, but… … .

“And now I’m the kidnapper and you, Pink, are the kidnap victim. What more consideration do you want?”

“…Don’t call me that…, no, okay, then go out for now.”

Lawrence pushed Nihil away, thinking that chasing this crazy bastard away was the first priority.

“Pink, don’t push. What if you fall again?”

“It was just a mistake.”

“Can’t you see all the bubbles on the floor? If you keep doing that, your head will break and Pink will turn into Red.”

“…I’ll be careful…….”

“You know there’s still foam left on your head, right? Rinse it off properly and come out.”

“…Okay, then quickly…….”

“It won’t work. I’ll clean the bubbles and go.”

“…….”

With a single gesture, Baedong made a stream of water flow and cleaned up the bathroom. He even rinsed my hair and laid out a towel on the floor.

“Come on, Pinkie, are you going to step on this and come out?”

“Okay, so get out now!”

“You don’t know how to wear clothes?”

“Ahhh!”

it’s annoying!

* * *

‘Saddie, I have a favor to ask.’

Natura stroked her bulging belly and sighed.

Sedes urged her to speak quickly, saying he would listen to anything he could, but she hesitated and refused to answer.

‘If our Ruth were to grow up and ask for a really, really difficult favor, would you be able to grant her just one request?’

‘Natura, I don’t know what you’re worried about. I won’t be like the previous king. Don’t worry, I’ll be a really great father.’

‘Even if it’s really hard to believe, just trust your child’s judgment just this once.’

‘Yeah, yeah.’

“ha…….”

Sedes looked at the documents, then straightened his upper body and roughly brushed his hair back.

Why did that old conversation suddenly come to mind? No, actually, I know why.

“Abel.”

“huh?”

“I still wonder if I should hold onto that article.”

I know that the situation of Lianus’s knights was very difficult. However, this was not a matter to be judged with mere pity. He was too entangled with the queen to be overlooked.

The only reason things aren’t progressing is because the prince wants it that way. If he’s going to deal with the queen, he has to deal with the knight too.

“I suppose that’s true from your perspective. It’s also a good opportunity to get rid of the queen.”

Abel nodded as if he understood, then shrugged his shoulders.

“But what can I do? The prince says he really likes Sir Evan.”

“…Yes. She followed along very well from the beginning. But I can’t leave the queen like this.”

I didn’t want to refuse my son’s request. From what I had observed, the knight seemed to be very devoted to the prince.

But no matter what the inside story is, to an outsider, the knight and the queen are in the same group. In order to depose the queen, everyone around them must be convinced, but it would not be easy to just kick out the queen while covering up the knight’s faults. Furthermore, the queen would not just sit back and do nothing.

“Abel, is there no way to get rid of the queen and leave the knight behind?”

“If you ask me that…….”

“Use your head, Prime Minister.”

“Then, should I ask Neil?”

“…I think it would be better to just replace the prime minister.”

I’m thinking of asking my son’s friend if he’s going to be a prime minister. But I have a feeling he won’t.

Besides, hadn’t his son’s friend already been of great help? Of course, the documents he brought him weren’t really related to the queen personally, so they weren’t a reason to depose her, but they were enough to put pressure on the duke’s family.

At that moment, Abel was seen muttering to himself.

“Yeah, can we talk?”

“…? What are you doing, Abel?”

“Huh? Did you contact Neil?”

“…….”

“You can talk!”

“…This is the first time I feel ashamed of being the prime minister.”

Sedes touched his forehead but didn’t stop him. Who knows, maybe his son’s friend will come up with a solution.

“Huh? Right now?”

“But why?”

“Neil said he’d come this way.”

“……?”

Just as the question crossed Sedes’ mind, the air tore open and his son’s friend jumped out.

“Father.”

“…Even the Grand Duke doesn’t barge in like this.”

“Because the Grand Duke values ​​manners.”

“……?”

Who values ​​what?

“You’ve grown up really well.”

My son’s friend raised the corners of his mouth as if he was genuinely proud and continued speaking.

“I’m busy looking after the kids, so please keep it brief.”

“Ah…, right.”

Sedes had a lot to say, but he didn’t bother to argue. We were busy, just like our son’s friend.

1. He had to hide the fact that the prince was in the palace of Wernus, pretend to be looking for him as best he could without the queen finding out, and he had to sort out all the suspicious things his son’s friend had been doing.

I even had to prepare a birthday party for the kids, but since my eldest was kidnapped, I had to prepare that secretly.

“In short, we need a reason not to kick out the knight.”

“Okay.”

“…hmm?”

“Okay, I got it.”

“…….”

Sedes couldn’t figure out what on earth he understood. It was too easy to take it as simply understanding what I meant, because his son’s friend’s expression was too calm compared to the content.

“Do you understand correctly?”

“Isn’t it true that there is no justification for defending that little puppy? Asking for sympathy is probably too much.”

“That’s right.”

“Then, why don’t you just give them an excuse that they can never be kicked out?”

“Is there any way?”

“I’ll lend you some articles later.”

“There’s no problem lending the knights, but… what are you going to do with them?”

“I’ll take care of it, so you can proceed with the current queen. Oh, your son is causing trouble again.”

“……?”

‘Lawrence had an accident… …?’

Sedes couldn’t understand. When his son’s friend mentioned Rianus, he often used the expression ‘our child’, so it must mean Lawrence, because the child was very mature for his age and rarely caused accidents.

“You, you’re not bullying the child…….”

“I have to go.”

“Okay, wait a minute…!”

Sedes tried to grab him quickly, but his wayward son’s friend had already disappeared.

“Sedi, sedi.”

While he was blankly staring, Abel called out to him brightly.

“…What is it?”

“It’s good that you asked, right?”

“…….”

I think he must have become stupid because he treated his prime minister too badly.

* * *

Lawrence looked around the bedroom. Seeing that no one was there, it seemed that Rianus had already gone to his violin lesson.

I wondered if even my violin teacher had been bribed, but I didn’t feel like going out of my way to look for him.

Even if I hadn’t been bought, I didn’t know what he would think if he saw me.

Lawrence changed into his beach clothes. No matter how I looked at them, they were my clothes, but I don’t know what the hell my palace soldiers were doing to get robbed like this without being able to catch a single intruder.

‘See, you can do it on your own.’

Lawrence, who had changed his clothes safely, unlike what Baedong had worried about, smiled proudly at the thought of having done it, and stood in front of the mirror. Then, he checked his appearance and froze.

The button was buttoned wrong and the clothes were crooked.

“…….”

‘You can’t even wear one piece of clothing properly… … .’

Baedong was not worried for nothing. Lawrence unbuttoned his buttons again. His hands and feet were not tied, but he could not escape, let alone leave Baedong’s bedroom.

‘… Pathetic.’

It was really pathetic. Doesn’t this make me look like a fool who can’t do anything on my own?

The depression rose to the top of his head again. Lawrence naturally found his way to bed. He didn’t want to do anything right now.

My head is wet, so the blanket and pillow will get wet… but who knows.

But there was already a stuffed doll on the bed.

An old teddy bear and a clean rabbit doll.

‘Brother, this is my friend Pupu. My mother made this for me.’

“…….”

Lawrence picked up the teddy bear that was clearly Rianus’s. The once plump teddy bear had become extremely thin from how long he had slept hugging it, and its once soft fabric had become shiny.

‘Doll? Prince, did I hear you correctly?’

‘… Oh, is that not possible?’

‘Oh, Louis. Those are toys for babies. This mother gives you a better toy.’

Nanny, find some toys for the kids to play with. Not the kind of stuffed animals that only dumb kids play with.

“…….”

I didn’t want a doll. I was fine with a toy that my mother had made herself… no, a toy that she had chosen for herself.

Lawrence tightened his grip on Pupu. The teddy bear with its crushed face looked up at him.

Lawrence got up, feeling bad for no reason, and picked up his teddy bear. He tried to throw it into the fireplace out of habit, but since it was summer and there was no fire in the fireplace, he just threw it in the trash can.

Empty. The teddy bear thrown into the trash can looked at itself as if it were pitiful.

‘The eyes are also twinkling… … .’

Lawrence glared at the teddy bear once and quickly climbed into bed. Just as he was about to turn over the blanket, he thought that he should go back to Rianus’s room, where he used to stay, but he soon decided not to care. It was either Baedong’s bedroom or Rianus’s bedroom, it was all the same.

However, since I had always lived a regular life, I couldn’t sleep. What’s worse, my bedding was damp because my hair hadn’t been properly dried, which made me feel sick.

Lawrence turned over his damp pillow and lay down again. It would have been better to just sleep, but he felt a strange sense of guilt as he lay there doing nothing.

Less noise.

“……?!”

Lawrence felt someone come in without his knowledge. He quickly covered himself with the blanket and pretended to sleep.

‘Who is it?’

It would have been really difficult if the servant had come in to clean.

‘No, maybe it will help… … .’

Lawrence pulled down the blanket just in case,

“Pink.”

I turned it over again.

“Pink, you need to dry your hair.”

Shake shake.

“…….”

I don’t know if Baedong is clueless or if he knows everything and still does this.

Just as I was trying to ignore it and pretend to be asleep, I saw a familiar object between the slightly lifted blankets.

“……!”

Lawrence jumped up in surprise. Suddenly, next to him was the teddy bear of Lianus that he had just thrown into the trash can.

“This, this is…….”

Just as he was about to stammer an excuse because it was obvious to anyone that he had done it, Baedong opened his mouth.

“Pink, I appreciate you offering to help me clean, but this teddy bear isn’t a throwaway item.”

“……?”

“It’s a bit old, but remember, it’s something that Lianus cherishes.”

“Oh, I understand. I’ll remember that.”

Lawrence nodded without realizing it.

Not realizing that he had intentionally thrown it away… Baedong seemed to be even more oblivious than I thought.

“Wake up. I’ll dry your hair.”

“No need.”

“Are you going to lose your hair?”

“…….”

Lawrence sat up timidly. To be honest, he didn’t know if it was true that he would go bald, but he didn’t think it was necessary to insist on it.

Baedong brought a fluffy towel, placed it on my head, and with a single gesture of his hand, he created a breeze and began to gently dry my hair.

It was a very warm breeze.

“…Why did you hide the fact that you are a wizard?”

“I’m not a wizard.”

“Then what you’re using now isn’t magic?”

“Well, it’s similar.”

“I haven’t seen many magicians, but I’ve never heard of anyone like you who can cast spells without drawing a spell or using a chant.”

Lawrence spoke to himself, but he had deep doubts.

‘How many circles would this level of magical skill be?’

I heard that even the magician who previously breathed mana into his magical tools was a 5th circle magician. Of course, that level wasn’t that common.

But the Baedong in front of me seemed to be even better than that at first glance. Maybe even better than Matapju.

“…Can I ask which circle you are in?”

“I don’t have any mana hearts. Of course I don’t have any circles.”

“……?”

“I told you. I’m not a wizard.”

I’m just imitating magic.
