171. Jagangduwang: Two proud losers

“Where did that rat-sized thing go?”

Cedric, who had left the banquet hall in a huff, looked around.

In the palace corridors, only the subjects and visitors who had just left the banquet hall were seen here and there.

Princess Hertia herself was nowhere to be seen.

Finally, as I was walking out of the palace and around the garden, I saw a familiar figure beyond the grass.

“Tch, you all are going too far. You’re only talking about me. You can’t even see Oppa… … .”

Hertia, who had been squawking like a ferocious animal, had lost some of her momentum.

She, who had been kicking away only pebbles, sat down in front of the marble fountain.

“… … .”

Cedric watched the scene blankly.

Princess Hertia, wearing a yellow dress under the clear night sky, looked as elegant as a fairy of silver bells.

An unrealistic beauty that would make anyone fall in love at first sight.

When faced with her unrealistic beauty, my volcanic anger subsided a little.

Cedric, who had been staring blankly at her, suddenly came to his senses.

“Princess Hertia.”

He spoke with a clear voice, lower and more serious than when he was at the banquet hall.

‘Okay, let me apologize first.’

I was momentarily angry earlier, but no matter what, the other person was a princess from a foreign country.

It was also my fault for fighting so earnestly against foreigners.

further…….

‘You never know, right?’

As my father said, it wouldn’t be bad to look good to the princess.

If things go well with the princess through this incident, he might become King Pyron’s son-in-law in the future.

It was at that moment that he approached Hertia with a faint smile.

“Ugh, you ugly rich guy? Why did you follow me here again?”

Hertia, who was sitting like a fairy in a myth, frowned as she did so.

Then, Cedric’s expression, which had been intoxicated by the romantic atmosphere, completely collapsed.

“What? A nouveau riche?”

“Yeah, rich guy. Did I say something wrong?”

“!”

“You’re wearing a bunch of mismatched jewelry. If that’s not rich, what is? Are you a walking showcase?”

“Will you stop talking about that rich kid? Where the hell are you looking at me… …!”

“Oh, that’s right. Now that I look at it, it’s not a rich guy, it’s a stalker. I don’t want to associate with criminals.”

Hertia made a disdainful ‘uh’ sound.

As she tried to leave, Cedric grabbed her wrist as if snatching it away.

“Where are you going!”

“It hurts! Being ugly makes you violent!”

“this……!”

Cedric squeezed her wrist so hard it seemed like it would break.

“I thought you looked nice because your face was pretty, but you’re ignoring me in front of people because you’re as pretty as a rat?”

“Who wants to look at you nicely? You’ve just been messing around like that! I guess you haven’t embarrassed yourself yet, seeing as you’re talking nonsense?”

Finally, Hertia spat in his face.

“Hey, Stalker. You said you were from the Marquis of Balton, right? When I asked your nanny, she said your aunt came to our country and changed her fortune.”

Cedric’s aunt.

This refers to the sister of Marquis Balton, who once settled in the Kingdom of Pyron and became the mistress of a noble family.

“If you bully me, do you think your aunt in the Kingdom of Pyron will be safe? You should be the one to apologize.”

“What, what is that, what do you want me to apologize for―”

Cedric was taken aback when the situation suddenly turned around.

“Can’t you see this?”

Hertia raised her left arm.

A dark bruise was clearly visible on his white wrist.

“What would happen if you were to commit violence against me, not to mention your own? At the very least, your family would be finished, right?”

“Wh, what… … .”

Hertia gave an order to the flustered Cedric in a voice without a trace of laughter.

“I apologize.”

“what?”

“Get on your knees and cry and apologize to me. Then you know what? I might forgive you.”

Cedric hesitated.

His following Hertia out of the banquet hall was purely childish behavior.

I was upset that Hertia rejected me, and ashamed that I was insulted in front of others.

It wasn’t that I was trying to harm Hertia. I was just trying to scare her where no one was around.

however.

“Aren’t you going to apologize? Okay, do whatever you want.”

“Now, just a moment!”

As Hertia suddenly turned around and tried to leave, Cedric called out urgently to her.

“… … If I apologize, will you pretend it never happened?”

“Because I saw what you were doing.”

Hertia shrugged her shoulders indifferently.

The small, pretty face that had looked like a fairy just a moment ago now looked like a devil’s.

Cedric looked around and bent his legs awkwardly.

“Okay, okay?”

“Why are you picking on me when you’re just going to back down? You ugly rich kid.”

Hertia laughed out loud.

Cedric, his face bright red, quickly got up.

“Are you saying that this will be like nothing happened?”

“no?”

Hertia, who had been laughing breathlessly just a moment ago, suddenly stopped laughing.

“I changed my mind. As soon as I get back, I’m going to tell everyone. I’m upset because of some stalker.”

“what?”

“Who would be violent like that? It’s so cute.”

At that moment, sparks flew from Cedric’s eyes.

“This is, playing with me… … !”

“Whoa!”

He pushed Hertia’s shoulders hard.

Hertia fell backwards, pushed by his vicious hand.

As luck would have it, there was a marble fountain at her bedside.

The moment Hertia was about to hit the fountain.

“!”

Someone came out of the grass and threw himself toward the fountain.

The man with his blue hair fluttering in the wind appeared and caught Hertia in his arms just before he fell.

Thanks to that, the man’s shoulder hit the fountain hard instead of Hertia’s.

“Who, who are you?”

Cedric was bewildered by the sudden appearance of the man.

Hertia, who was in the man’s arms, also hurriedly raised her head.

“Who, who… … Huh.”

She checked the man’s face and covered her mouth.

* * *

“Where the hell is the manager?”

Taking advantage of the chaos, I left the banquet hall and wandered around looking for a place where Prince Louis, or rather the manager, might be.

But no matter how much I searched the palace, I couldn’t find the pink hair I was looking for.

Instead, all that catches your eye is an annoying red head.

“Where did that rat-sized thing go?”

Cedric was wandering around the palace, grumbling.

He followed Princess Hertia out and, like me, was wandering around the palace.

If it were normal, I would have just ignored it and gone my way.

As luck would have it, a mission window was floating above that guy’s head.

【SYSTEM: Mission! ‘Two proud rascals’】

[The meeting between Princess Hertia, the only child, and the Marquis’ scoundrel, Cedric!

They say that when two people are together, a tense situation can occur at any moment… … .

Mediate between the two people and bring Princess Hertia to my side.♥]

[Success Reward: +50 favorability with Hertia, request a dance with Prince Louis

Penalty on failure: ―]

‘What is this?’

This time I don’t see any failure penalties, so is this some kind of bonus mission?

Well then, I guess you don’t have to do it… … .

‘Prince Louis’ request for a dance.’

The rewards of success were immediately apparent.

Gaining Princess Hertia’s favor was beneficial, but this was much more concerning.

If I succeed in this mission, won’t I be able to meet the manager in some way?

The worry didn’t last long.

I followed Cedric. He went out into the garden and encountered Princess Hertia in front of the fountain.

“Ugh, you ugly rich guy? Why did you follow me here again?”

As soon as Hertia saw Cedric, contempt appeared on her face.

“You’re wearing a bunch of mismatched jewelry. If that’s not rich, what is? Are you a walking showcase?”

“Will you stop talking about that rich kid? Where the hell are you looking at me… …!”

The two men growled.

‘See, I knew it.’

Indeed, a self-reliant and hopeless situation.

Cedric, who gets really angry at a foreign princess and fights her, is Cedric, but Hertia, who argues in the imperial language so fluently that it’s like hitting a native speaker in the face, is also no ordinary person.

As I watched the two people fighting, spitting, the argument became more and more intense.

“Where are you going!”

“it hurts!”

Finally, Cedric forcibly grabbed Hertia’s wrist. I frowned without realizing it.

‘Here he goes again.’

As I looked at Hertia’s bruised wrist, my own wrist also seemed to tingle.

‘I guess I should start getting out soon.’

… … But how?

It’s called mediation, but I have no idea how to proceed.

Moreover, as the crown prince’s former fiancée, she got involved in a dog fight and didn’t know what kind of scandal would arise.

‘I should have at least some safety measures in place.’

I opened the items window.

[Gender Change! The Duke’s Youngest Son]

[From Princess to Prince! When used, gender is reversed for 5 minutes.

Sometimes you might be able to enjoy a different kind of pleasure?♥]

[☞Using Items☜]

‘I don’t know if it’s a different kind of fun… but it’s definitely good as a disguise.’

It’s a shame that I don’t have anything to cover my face with, but I think it’s safe to say that no one will find out that I’m Roselia.

‘Use item.’

Paat-

White light enveloped my whole body.

I could feel the change immediately just by closing and opening my eyes, because my eye level was different than before.

When I looked at her reflection in the water, I saw that her shoulders were broad instead of slender, her chest had thickened, and her arms and legs had become stronger.

The blue hair was still there, but the length had been shortened. The banquet dress had also been changed to a men’s banquet dress.

‘This is good.’

If you’re a man with a body but wears a dress, you’re a pervert, not a mediator.

“Whoa!”

Then a sharp scream was heard.

Hertia, who was pushed by Cedric, fell over into the fountain.

‘It’s dangerous!’

Without thinking about the front or back, my body went out first. I immediately threw my body and hugged Hertia, who was about to fall.

thud.

As soon as my body hit the floor, I felt a dull pain in my shoulder.

It was good that he saved Hertia, but it seems that he accidentally hit his shoulder on the fountain while falling.

“eww…….”

“Who, who are you?”

Cedric screamed in confusion.

Hertia also raised her upper body in a hurry.

“Who, who… … Huh.”

She gasped as she saw my face.

‘What? Did you get hurt somewhere when you fell?’

Then she grabbed my hand.

“I found the car, my husband.”
