133. Kiss of the (self-proclaimed) prince on a white horse
“Are you calling me a third-rate villain? This guy who looks like a parasite… … .”
A third-rate villain, no, a thug, snorted.
Knock knock, knock knock.
The thug, whose knuckles were cracked threateningly, swung his fist with all his might.
“Why don’t you get beaten up by a third-rate villain?”
“… … !”
At that moment I saw clearly.
A faint smile appeared on the manager’s lips.
“Hey!”
He ran confidently and threw his fist powerfully.
‘Wait a minute, if you’re possessed by Cayenne, shouldn’t you fight with magic?’
Are you going to stab the government like that?
“Cough!”
But surprisingly, the manager’s fist struck the bully’s stomach.
‘Is this possible?’
Is it because of your innate physical condition?
The manager who fought with his bare fists flew like a fish in water.
The thug slowly backed away, groaning in pain.
“This kid is actually more capable than he looks.”
“Compared to third-rate villains who just say the same old lines, he’s pretty good.”
“You cheeky brat, come taste some hot food!”
“… … !”
The thug pulled a dagger out of his bosom.
He lunged at the manager, aiming straight for his torso, but the manager dodged it with ease.
Then he immediately kicked the bully’s head with his long leg.
“Huh!”
The thug who was hit with a roundhouse kick staggered greatly.
Unable to overcome the shock, his sword bounced off into the alleyway.
“Yay!”
The manager took the initiative and broke the thug’s arm, completely subduing him.
“Iiyi, I’m so angry!”
After a tension-free showdown, the thug ran away, saying third-rate villain-like lines until the end.
The manager clapped his hands.
“Phew. You saw it? You saw it?”
“Wow, you fight well.”
“Is that all there is to appreciation? What can you say about the bravery of sacrificing one’s body for the one you love?”
“Well.”
I responded indifferently.
He was the villain I summoned in the first place, so what more excitement do I get from him?
Besides, isn’t that punk a big guy but actually weak?
I think they adjusted the difficulty too low because I was going to fight myself… … .
Although there were various doubts, a proud smile appeared on the manager’s face.
“Anyway, I accomplished one thing on my bucket list with this.”
“What bucket list?”
“Experience the Prince on a White Horse! This is an experience that every manager should have.”
“Okay, okay, congratulations.”
I nodded in the direction of the duke’s residence.
“Now that we’ve recharged on dopamine, let’s go home.”
“Wait a minute. There’s still one more piece of content left.”
“What now?”
You’ve already summoned the bad guys, what kind of forced event are you trying to create this time?
“There are things a prince on a white horse would do, of course.”
“uh?”
The manager’s face came closer.
Her pomegranate-like eyes looked down at me.
“Thank you for going on a date with me today.”
point.
Something warm and soft touched my forehead and then fell away.

“Your Majesty, are you still angry?”
Time passed quickly, and several days had already passed since the hunting festival ended, but the emperor’s anger showed no signs of abating.
Shiloh, with a sad expression, was only observing the emperor’s expression.
“I am very disappointed in you. Do not come to the palace for the time being.”
“Your Majesty.”
Shiloh elongated her words as if throwing a tantrum, but the Emperor remained steadfast.
“I’m grateful that it’s over. Are you out of your mind or not, acting like an immature person and feigning illness during an important national event?”
“Your Majesty, I said I was sorry. I have reflected on my actions sufficiently.”
The Emperor dismissed Shiloh’s bleeding commotion as nothing more than a childish prank.
Shiloh was relieved by this, but the cold war with the Emperor was lasting longer than expected.
It was becoming increasingly difficult to stay with the emperor and please him for several days.
“The prince is still lying in bed. We will have to postpone all our schedules for at least two weeks. If things continue this way, trade with the Kingdom of Pyron will also be canceled.”
“You’re crossing the river, Your Majesty. It’s unfortunate that the crown prince got hurt, but it’s ridiculous to give up on such an important matter as diplomatic relations. Wouldn’t it be better to leave it to someone else who’s more suitable?”
“The right person for the job?”
“I mean, Marquis Balton. The Marquis was the one who made the trade happen in the first place, so if he takes care of the finishing touches… … .”
“Shiloh!”
Shiloh shrugged as the Emperor roared.
“Are you saying something like that so calmly now?”
“… … .”
“The Marquis of Balton is the same. The author he recommended caused a stir at the hunting festival, and you still want to defend him?”
Until recently, the Emperor had praised Marquis Balton as a loyal and talented man. However, his attitude changed drastically in just a few days.
“Do you know how much trouble I had to appease the nobles who attended the hunting festival that day? If I hadn’t left in the middle of it, things wouldn’t have ended up like this.”
Shiloh had to force herself to keep her expression from hardening.
In the first place, who was the one who came forward and said he would grant Marquis Balton’s request for anything?
At that time, I thought it was good for me to hire a recommender, so who are you blaming now?
But she suppressed her irritation that had reached a critical point.
“Your Majesty, I made a slip of the tongue. Please calm down now.”
It was important to appease the Emperor, but above all, I had no choice but to turn the vacant position of trade chief to my advantage.
The Marquis of Balton was so angry about this that he was hiding, so I had no choice but to try to please the Emperor.
“I don’t want to hear it! I don’t want to see it either, so I’ll go back now.”
“your majesty…….”
But all efforts made so far were in vain, as the Emperor coldly banished Shiloh.
No matter how much I clung to it, it was no use.
Perhaps because his son was so upset, the emperor was very harsh.
Shiloh, who had no choice but to return to her quarters, called her maids together.
“Let me ask you again. Who was the last person to leave that day?”
“If you say that day… … .”
Countess Garcia, who had recently been appointed as maid of honor, asked cautiously.
Shiloh retorted sharply.
“I’m talking about the hunting day. Who the hell created this mess by not being able to clean up after themselves properly?”
Because of a poor maid who couldn’t even properly take care of a single pouch of blood, the emperor had been treating her coldly for several days.
If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have gotten in trouble.
When asked who was responsible, the maids just looked at each other.
Evelyn was tense in the uncomfortable atmosphere. Her heart was pounding like crazy.
“Why is no one saying anything? How long are you going to keep your mouth shut?”
As the silence grew longer, Shiloh, unable to bear it any longer, spoke irritably.
“If no one can speak, the maid or the lady can speak on their behalf.”
Countess Garcia hesitated for a moment and then opened her mouth.
“That day, I left the care to Marquis Balton’s daughter… … .”
Evelyn was shocked when she was identified as the culprit.
“You are the daughter of the Marquis of Balton?”
Shiloh asked sharply. Countess Garcia added hastily.
“It seems that Young-ae made a mistake because everyone was so busy that day. It was my fault for not checking properly.”
But Shiloh’s nervous gaze was already directed at Evelyn.
His eyes were telling me to at least try to make an excuse.
“That, that. I thought I had packed it well, but I think I dropped it when I was rushing out.”
Evelyn looked down at the floor with anxious eyes. Her voice of excuses gradually grew quieter.
Before she was chosen as Shiloh’s maid, she was proud and confident to the point of arrogance.
But since taking refuge in the palace, she has been noticeably timid.
Palace life was never easy.
She was not used to being taken care of by someone else, so getting scolded and breaking things was a daily occurrence for her.
Besides, Shiloh was much, much scarier than she thought.
Shiloh glanced at her nervously.
“It’s disappointing. Father and daughter… … . Okay. Everyone, go out.”
Shiloh gave the order to banish the guests.
The maids dispersed to their respective places, and Evelyn returned to the maids’ quarters to collect her shocked feelings.
But when she returned to her room, an unexpected man was waiting for her.
“Are you here, Evelyn?”
“Father? What brings you here?”
When Marquis Balton greeted Evelyn, she couldn’t hide her embarrassment.
“You said you would refrain from entering the palace for the time being.”
Marquis Balton chuckled and took a newspaper out of his bosom.
“When something fun happens, you should come and see it. Now, look.”
“What is this?”
“I’m talking about the hunting festival. I think a famous person came out of that event.”
“yes?”
Evelyn’s eyes widened as she read the newspaper article.
