NOVEL NEXT chapter 21
21. A scramble for love?
Episode 21. It’s a battle of love
Eventually.
‘They all came together.’
The atmosphere was calm.
Cecilia and Chloe were sitting on either side of the tail, glaring at each other.
An orphaned commoner, a monk, two high-ranking knights, and a knight.
Passers-by kept glancing at the unknown combination.
Tail glanced at the quiet atmosphere, and Alan, as if noticing the uncomfortable air, said nothing.
We just made eye contact and shared glances.
‘Are you tired too?’
‘Yes. Me too. You also?’
I was empathizing with Alan by looking into each other’s eyes, but Chloe opened her mouth first.
“Miss Cecilia. Wouldn’t it be hard for Tail to eat if it sticks like that?”
Surely, Cecilia was holding Tail’s arm with both of her arms.
However, despite Chloe’s words, Cecilia answered confidently.
“Sure. If the princess holds Tail’s hand, can she eat Tail’s food?”
That’s right, Chloe was holding Tail’s hand tightly.
Thanks to that, Tail’s arms were sealed and he couldn’t eat.
In the end, Tails opened his mouth with difficulty.
“… Stop it Let go of both.”
At Tail’s words, Chloe and Cecilia glared at each other fiercely.
“Let go first. Sulfur. Woman. Sir.”
“As the princess, I give orders. Cecilia-sama, put it first.”
Cecilia let out a small smile at Chloe’s words.
“You say Hwangmyeong is being used here? Are you insane?”
At those words, Chloe’s eyes lit up.
“What! Are you insulting me, the imperial family of the Belenus Empire? Cecilia Duvir?”
“Ugh? It can’t be. I was talking to myself. Did you hear?”
As the situation worsened, Alan’s eyes became desperate for Tails.
The look in his eyes was like, ‘You are the only one who can solve this situation. Please!’ It was like this feeling.
Tails sighed and took her arms slowly at the same time.
Then he pretended to be angry with Cecilia.
“Miss Cecilia. You shouldn’t say that.”
Cecilia’s expression changed to a sad one at Tail’s words.
“… But the princess keeps saying something….”
Cecilia, who had been shooting her sharply at Chloe until just now, disappeared and looked up at her tail with her tears welling up.
For a moment, Tails felt weak at that appearance.
‘I can’t back down from here.’
Cecilia’s way of speaking was definitely a problem, so she had to come out on her own to fix it.
“Miss Cecilia. This is for her lady. If anyone speaks like this, later the young lady will get her ugly hair stuck in her hair.”
That was the appearance of the villain, Cecilia, in the original work.
She was gorgeous and beautiful like a peony flower, but she was alone anytime, anywhere.
I couldn’t leave her like that in this lifetime.
“I don’t want to see you hurt other people and end up alone.”
Cecilia pouted at Tail’s words.
“I am not alone.”
“… Yes?”
“You have a tail. So I am not alone.”
Tayl let out a smirk at her words.
“But this time, please apologize for your rudeness to Chloe-sama.”
“Okay…. Okay. If Tail wants this.”
Cecilia glanced at Chloe.
“Princess. I apologize for the rudeness.”
Chloe’s eyes widened in surprise when she apologized more obediently than she thought.
“Then shall we eat again?”
The moment Tail’s eyes turned to food.
Cecilia’s eyes met Chloe’s, and she stuck out her tongue.
“Bee.”
Her tongue flicked out as if she were about to stir it up.
Then, Tail shifted her gaze to Cecilia.
“Miss Cecilia. Have you tried this?”
Then she smiled broadly as if she had never done anything like that before and played her cute charms.
“I haven’t tried it! Tail give me a bite.”
Cecilia opened her mouth cutely.
‘I… ! That little fox!’
Chloe’s face hardened.
Cecilia, who took the food Tail gave her and ate it, glanced at Chloe who was stuttering.
“Delicious! Tails scooped it up for me as usual, but?”
As usual.
Tail.
Food for Cecilia.
Are you scooping it up?
Fire erupted from Chloe’s eyes.
What the hell was this crazy young lady doing in that tent?
Aud deuk.
Chloe bit her teeth.
If I left it like that, it seemed that the two of us would even run away from love.
‘Calm down. Chloe.’
Are you going to lose it like this?
If this happens.
‘I have a way too.’
Wheek.
Chloe took off her cardigan over her.
The only thing she wore under it was a white sleeveless dress.
The eyes of the people around her immediately focused on her breasts that started to grow secondarily and her voluptuous body even though she was young.
Chloe muttered, brushing her long hair.
“Ah. It’s hot.”
Alan was taken aback, but she couldn’t do anything about Chloe’s hard expression.
What she chose was not seduction.
‘In this situation, Tails would probably….’
Tayel took off her coat and threw it over her shoulder.
“Chloe. Even if it’s hot, wear it for a while.”
‘As expected.’
If it was Tail, she knew this would happen.
Something that will take more care of you and take off your clothes if you do well.
The scent of tail wafted from her clothes.
She said it strangely made her heart pound.
As a strange atmosphere seemed to form between the two, Cecilia’s cheeks swelled.
Then she waved the sleeves of her tail lightly.
“Tail-tail.”
Cecilia’s eyes sparkled.
“Take a bite of this too.”
“My lady. You should try it alone.”
But Cecilia pursed her lips and said.
“It tastes better when tail scoops it up!”
Knowing that once Cecilia was stubborn, Tails had no choice but to serve her food again.
Seeing her like that, Chloe smiled and said.
“Miss Cecilia. No hands? Or is her finger broken?”
“No. Why are you asking that?”
Chloe’s smile deepened as Cecilia asked, slightly sharpened.
“Because I can’t eat alone. Teil needs to eat too. Thanks to Cecilia-sama, I don’t think I even got a bite.”
This time Cecilia’s face crumpled.
“Don’t meddle, just take care of the princess’s.”
“Meddling, no. Interference is meddling when someone who has nothing to do with it. Do I care?”
“What does it matter? I am very curious.”
“Isn’t it? You must be wondering. Ho Ho.”
As the war of nerves continued between the two, Tail really wanted to scream.
‘Please…. Go out and fight separately!”
I was completely out of my mind.
* * *
After a while.
“Ha ha.”
Tail’s body was completely exhausted and returned to the room.
Cecilia went to see the Duchess of Duvir after a long time, and Chloe also said that she had work to do, so she should be free to herself now.
He sat down on the bed and let out a long sigh.
‘I want to go home.’
This is definitely her house, so why do I feel like going to her house?
Okay. Today’s day has been so hard.
“Haa….”
Tail let out a long sigh.
‘I don’t think I have to do this every day?’
Just then, the door opened and Eugene came in.
And when he saw the half-melted tail, he made a surprised expression.
“What? Are you here already?”
“Already. Are you saying something scary?”
It was a really long and arduous time for me.
Then, Eugene clicked her tongue and said.
“I heard it was difficult between Cecilia-sama and Chloe-sama?”
“What? How else did you know that?”
“You spread all the rumors.”
At Eugene’s words, Tail narrowed his brows and asked as he put his mouth to the glass of water.
“Rumors?”
Eugene nodded her head.
“Yes. Cecilia-sama and Chloe-sama were fighting for love over you alone.”
“Pu-huh.”
As soon as he put the water in his mouth, Tail had no choice but to squirt the water out of his mouth.
“Ugh…. Expose.”
Looking at the spilled water, Eugene made an expression of disgust, but Tail didn’t care.
‘No. I know they both have a certain crush on me….’
A scramble for love.
Chloe and herself are like siblings.
Cecilia and herself were like family, like children.
Besides, he was originally a commoner, and the two of them were members of the royal family and nobles.
A commoner, an orphan with no problem, even if he just passes by and dies.
In other words, these people are not the people you dare to look up to.
‘But a scramble for love?’
Tale laughed incredulously.
As expected, human imagination is amazing.
At that time, Eugene looked at Tails and asked.
“Hey…. Isn’t that true?”
“What?”
Even with Tail’s curt reply, Eugene continued to ask.
“That one of Chloe-sama or Cecilia-sama has feelings.”
“What?”
What kind of novel bullsh*t is this?
“Isn’t it?”
“Is that right? Then?”
Tale replied ferociously.
I guess I should have been a little more careful in crowded places.
Because I live so casually, people must be suspicious.
‘I’ll have to be careful starting tomorrow.’
From now on, it was necessary to draw the lines accurately little by little.
‘Because misunderstandings are difficult.’
Around the time her tail made a promise to herself, Eugene stroked her heart as if relieved by her reply.
