How the Prince Makes Friends - Chapter 248

Episode 248

“You cannot meet with His Majesty right now.”

“Get out of the way.”

Evan stepped forward, ignoring the guards blocking his way. He could hear the servants muttering, but no one attacked him.

In times like these, a large, threatening size can be very useful.

“How come there is no progress!”

“…sorry.”

Evan, who was about to knock on the door of the reception room where the queen was, stopped and froze when he heard a familiar voice. It was the Master’s voice. It seemed that he had come to report on the search operation for the First Prince.

Evan checked his clothes several times, but he unconsciously checked them again. The hood and mask were both properly placed.

Just when I was thinking that many people were suffering because of that lynx, the queen’s angry voice was heard again.

“What on earth are the Royal Knights doing!”

“The Knights are also working hard, so please wait a little longer…….”

match-!

“……!”

Evan took a deep breath. Was this the sound he thought it was?

“How long do you want me to wait?”

“If you wait just a little longer…….”

“Kyung, can you only tell me to wait?!”

match-!

Again, the sound of flesh being slapped was heard. Evan couldn’t stand to watch any longer and threw open the door.

Bam!

Of course, everyone’s attention was focused on me, but I tried to ignore them and walked away.

Thud, thud.

Clank, clank.

Armed guards surrounded and chased him, but Evan moved forward, looking only at the queen.

Even though he was wearing a hood and a mask, he tried not to turn his head away for fear that his alert master might reveal it to him if he made eye contact with him.

But in the fleeting moment, Evan saw his master’s cheeks flushed red.

Evan clenched his fists in a fit of anger. Wouldn’t it be better for the world if we got rid of that woman who was a danger to everyone?

‘… If you just bring the contract… … .’

“What the hell are you doing that you can’t even stop one person!”

The queen shouted in frustration at the sight of the guards following her one after another, but there was a difference in the momentum between the regular guards and the knights.

To someone who has never been trained in martial arts, the guards and knights may seem equally intimidating, but to someone who has even a little experience in martial arts, the difference is more evident.

So, it is absurd to expect a few guards to stop the Auror Knight, even if he is wearing a mana restraint and cannot release the Auror.

Evan glanced at the guards surrounding him and opened his mouth quietly.

“Your Majesty, I have come to receive what was promised.”

“Your Majesty, it is rude of you to come to me out of the blue. I am still upset because I have not found my prince, so let’s talk about it another time.”

“…….”

Evan’s eyebrows furrowed. He didn’t think the queen would give in so easily, but he was even more upset after experiencing such unpleasant situations earlier.

“I think it would be better if you just give it to me.”

“……?”

The queen and the teacher next to her seemed flustered by the neighborhood bully-like tone of speech, but the 20-year-old young man, already feeling as if he had entered late puberty, snapped at her.

“If you just let me go, you’ll definitely regret it.”

“Sir… I’m not in the mood to joke around right now.”

“Even if I tell you the whereabouts of the first prince?”

“???”

The surroundings were abuzz. The queen’s eyes also opened wide in surprise.

I thought the Master’s expression would be similar, but I couldn’t tell exactly what it was because I was trying hard not to look at him.

The queen quickly adjusted her expression and slightly raised the corners of her lips.

“Look, Captain. Even the author who moves alone knows the whereabouts of the First Prince. What on earth are you doing with the knights?”

“…….”

“You’ll have to try harder.”

The queen said this and looked down at me as if she found it funny.

Evan was truly amazed at the sight of such a queen. How could she turn two people around at the same time, and so elegantly?

Is this the speaking ability of those in high places?

“…I’m sorry.”

“I should be sorry.”

But apart from that, I felt like my eyes were spinning when I saw the teacher apologizing.

That must have been why.

“I kidnapped the first prince.”

The reason I talked nonsense is.

“…….”

“…….”

Silence fell over the meeting room. There were about fifteen guards, but not even the sound of their armor clashing could be heard.

“…Sir, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Evan inwardly cursed his shallow patience and his self-indulgent mouth. However, it was already too late, and the sight of the queen looking so bewildered was quite something to behold, so he tried to act calm.

“It is true, Your Majesty. It is kept very well hidden.”

“under…….”

The queen laughed in disbelief at Evan’s audacity, but Evan continued speaking even more confidently.

“If you give me what I promised, I will quietly bring the first prince back.”

“Fool me, Sir Nave. The place where the first prince disappeared is the duke’s townhouse. I have already confirmed that you were not there that day.”

It’s not that Helia didn’t suspect the knight. In fact, given the circumstances, wasn’t he the most likely culprit?

However, he already had a watcher assigned by His Majesty, and it was confirmed that the knight was at the second prince’s side at that time on that day.

Even if the watchers and witnesses had all conspired to help the knight go out, honestly, he wouldn’t have been able to kidnap the prince without being caught by anyone. And wasn’t his father even at the townhouse that day?

If he had the ability to infiltrate while avoiding the Sword Master’s senses in the first place, there would have been no reason for him to be dragged around like this.

“You don’t believe me?”

“I can’t believe it. Sir, how could you tell such a lie?”

“I’m so annoyed.”

“…….”

“…….”

Silence fell again, but Evan had reached a point where he was enjoying the silence.

Actually, there was no problem in bringing Ariel even without a contract. After consulting with the wildcat, he said that he was such a great wildcat that he could unilaterally terminate the contract even without a contract, even if only the parties involved were present.

There was only one reason why I took the trouble to come here.

‘Hey pup, bring me the contract.’

‘… You said it wasn’t necessary?’

‘If there is a contract, I can edit the contents myself.’

‘… … ?’

‘I’ll show you what a truly unfair contract is.’

‘… … !’

Because I was given the chance to fuck the queen!

The corners of Evan’s mouth drew a red line.

“Your Majesty, I have come to receive what was promised.”

Walter was now in a very embarrassed state. A very familiar figure came in with a line of guards and started demanding something from the Visionary without warning.

‘…Evan?’

Although his face was hidden by a hood and mask, and his voice was intentionally scratched and distorted, Walter could immediately recognize his one and only disciple just by his gait.

“I think it would be better if you just give it to me.”

“……?

“If you just let me go, you’ll definitely regret it.”

“???”

Walter looked back at Evan, bewildered.

‘… The kid… is going through late puberty?’

“I kidnapped the first prince.”

“…….”

I guess it must be puberty. If not, he wouldn’t have been able to display the boyish vanity and unpredictable impulsiveness so well.

“If you give me what I promised, I will quietly bring the first prince back.”

“Fool me, Sir Nave. The place where the first prince disappeared is the duke’s townhouse. I have already confirmed that you were not there that day.”

‘… Nave?’

Isn’t that the alias of the Shadow Knight who was previously suspected of being the culprit who kidnapped the Second Prince?

Walter was confused. Evan couldn’t possibly be the Queen’s Shadow Knight. And he shouldn’t have been.

‘Maybe I was mistaken.’

Maybe it’s not Evan. Maybe he’s just similar in build and gait…

‘But the First Prince should be in the Wernus Palace right now… … ?’

The reason Walter bowed his head and got slapped on the cheek was because he knew that the kidnapper of the First Prince was the Second Prince’s younger brother.

‘Is it true that Evan was the Queen’s shadow knight?’

No matter how much I thought about it, the large man in front of me seemed to be Evan. Otherwise, how could I have known the whereabouts of the First Prince who was kept so well hidden in the Wernus Palace?

“I can’t believe it. Sir, how could you tell such a lie?”

“I’m so annoyed.”

“…….”

“…….”

I don’t know the full details, but it seems my disciple doesn’t have a smooth relationship with the queen.

“Your Majesty, I do not ask for much. Please give me only what you promised.”

“…Commander of the Knights, this is a good thing considering we have no achievements. It would be a good idea to arrest and investigate the author who claims to have kidnapped the prince.”

The queen, not wanting to keep her promise, issued an arrest warrant. However, Walter, not wanting to arrest his disciple, slyly challenged him.

“…You didn’t believe me, did you?”

“That’s something we can look into.”

“…….”

Walter glanced at Evan. The kid was a little misbehaving, but he thought it was okay. His disciple was only there to receive what he had promised, and he wasn’t asking for anything too much.

Although it was impossible to just let Evan go since he had already claimed to have kidnapped the prince, Walter did not respond right away and instead looked around.

The guards and the knights who arrived late after hearing the news seemed to be hesitating as they could not decide.

I was thinking about roughly arresting him and then secretly releasing him, but my disciple once again made a remark like a teenage boy.

“Honestly, I don’t mind arresting you, but the First Prince won’t be safe.”

“Ha! What are you doing? Surround that intruder right now!”

“Do you want the prince to die?”

“Come on!”

Clank, clank, clank.

Eventually the guards moved first and tightened the siege. Evan didn’t seem to care whether a spear was shoved into his throat or not, but Walter did.

“for a moment.”

I had no choice but to raise my hand and stop them.

“Your Majesty, if this man really holds the prince’s life in his hands, negotiations must come first.”

“Do you believe it, Commander? The author is just telling lies to confuse the search!”

“That may be the case, but as long as there is a possibility that the prince’s safety is at stake, we cannot move recklessly.”

Of course, the First Prince is probably paired up with the Second Prince at the Wernus Palace right now… … .

Just then, the puppy started barking again.

“I can swear that I will return the prince safely once I receive the goods.”

“…….”

Walter held back a sigh that threatened to burst out and turned his gaze to Evan. I don’t know why he’s so confident when he’s surrounded.

“Sir, what exactly is it that you require?”

“…….”

“Can’t you tell me?”

“…yes.”

‘I guess it’s a magic contract.’

Walter, who had a lot of experience dealing with criminals, could easily guess the identity of the object. However, he couldn’t help but have doubts.

Why on earth did Evan make a magical contract with the Queen?

Suddenly, I remembered Evan, who had been drunk a few days ago, holding the prince and quietly confessing after committing all sorts of blasphemies.

‘Your Majesty, I actually have a younger brother… … .’

‘Oh, oh! Okay, ahhh, you had a younger sibling?’

‘Yes. Can I bring you to the palace…?’

‘Of course, of course! If it’s Evan Sir’s younger brother, even a hundred people, I don’t mind, so bring them no matter what!’

That obviously means that even though she was with the prince for five years, she never once mentioned her younger brother, even though he was still alive.

‘I have a younger sibling! He’s still this big, but he’s so cute. But raising a child costs a lot of money. So, as the older sibling, I have to earn a lot of money.’

I will be a great older brother who will not be ashamed of my younger sister! The young boy who shouted so brightly never mentioned his younger sister even once.

Walter had been guessing secretly that his sister might be dead.

“What are you doing, Sir Ernest?”

Walter raised his head and slowly looked around. Everyone was looking at him, but only his disciple lowered his head and looked at the floor.

‘What if the Queen is taking Evan’s brother with her…?’

Of course, that might not be the case.

but,

“…Your Majesty, please hand over the items this person is requesting to the Knights.”

You can check that yourself.

* * *

“Why? You don’t like it?”

“Kui?”

As I was awkwardly fiddling with my shortened hair, Bae Dong, who was organizing his hairdressing scissors, tilted his head and asked.

“Oh, no. I just feel awkward.”

Lawrence thought it was a bit short, but he didn’t dislike it. After all, what happened yesterday? What’s the big deal about hair? He felt relieved.

‘Come to think of it, I cried a lot in front of Your Majesty… … .’

But Your Majesty…, no, Father said that everything was okay. He even said that he was your biological child, and even if he wasn’t…,

‘Huh? Then that won’t work…? My brother has to have a baby…?’

… Now that I think about it, there was also Rianus.

I was talking about something serious, but he started talking nonsense like he had to have a baby, and I started crying.

Anyway, His Majesty said it was okay. And he said the pink color was really pretty…

‘I like pink better too! It looks like cotton candy!’

“…….”

Why is it that I remember Lianus’s clear and cheerful voice more than His Majesty’s calm and affectionate voice?

“Kuiyah, Kuiyah.”

“Somsom, your fur is made of magic, so even if you cut it, you’ll only get smaller.”

“Kuiing……”

Lawrence turned his head at the sound of the little animal’s cry. The cotton ball he had seen before was clinging to Baedong and acting all cute.

“Didn’t you say that the Grand Duke gave you that beast?”

And I know that it was taken away again. Even though the Grand Duke had clearly stated that Baedong was not his successor and had no relation to him… … .

“If I say I’m related to the Grand Duke, the Queen won’t let her guard down.”

“…….”

“I’m close with the Archduke. I asked him to do that.”

“Kui!”

Why, you guys are close but you pretend not to be close. Baedong, who blurted out such outrageous words so casually, just shrugged his shoulders.

“I need to become friends with you.”

If Baedong is close with the Grand Duke, there is no harm in becoming close with him.

“Don’t make excuses. You just want to be my friend. Then you can just say that.”

My child is very good at asserting himself in any situation. He hit a person with a cart and asked to be his friend.

“…That’s when I get angry.”

“I should have been angry, but I ended up following you because you were cute.”

“Can I call you Neil?”

“I told you to call me comfortably.”

“…You can call me whatever you want.”

Ross… Lawrence added softly, blushing. Ross was the nickname his father had given him last night.

‘Lewis.’

‘Kkiang!’

‘… I don’t know why you thought you weren’t my son… … .’

‘Kiowong?’

‘…I don’t know why that’s answering.’

Since when has that been around?

‘Anyway, Louis.’

‘Kkiang!’

‘… … .’

‘… … .’

‘Oh, the dog’s name is Roberto Luis de Armand II! I guess he knows the name.’

Robbie, you are truly a genius!

“…….”

Lawrence, who recalled yesterday’s events, put his hand on his forehead and then let out a snicker without realizing it. There were certainly many touching situations, but the only ones he could remember were these ridiculous ones.

Although he was forced to take his nickname from the dog who claimed his name as Louis, Lawrence loved the new nickname his father gave him, Ross.

Ross and Ruth. Anyone can see that they are like brother nicknames. The pronunciation is similar, so it might be a little confusing, but that’s okay. After all, only my father calls me Ruth, which is a nickname for Rianus.

“I’m going to keep calling it pink.”

“…….”

“Pink, when do you want to go home?”

Pinkie stuck out her lips.

“…I’ll go and see Ariel.”

When I go back, I have to change Estas’ symbolic color back to green.
