chapter 4
Princess Beats A Cushion
Rebecca Valencia.
She is the only daughter of the Duke of Valencia, one of the two Dukes in the Empire. A genius girl who has been praised for her outstanding talents since childhood.
Swordsmanship is swordsmanship, magic is magic. He showed great talent in all kinds of fields. It even surpassed even the tutor who taught her.
It was not unreasonable for others to envy or praise her.
However, Princess Rebecca, who was so perfect, was not feeling very well right now.
It was more than a bad mood, and my body was trembling from the growing irritation.
“…Alber Xernias.”
The reason is because of her fiance, Albert Xernias, whom I met for the first time today.
“Rebecca, your fiancée will be visiting today.”
“····.”
When she first heard that her mother had a fiance she had never seen before. From then on, she felt bad.
After all, her engagement, which had already been decided, did not include her opinion at all.
I knew that she had a fiance that she had been destined for since childhood. Being aware of misfortune and facing it directly were quite different things.
Isn’t it different from knowing that strange rumors are circulating about you and seeing you gossip about yourself without your knowledge?
Anyway, for this reason, I was in a bad mood before meeting her fiance. After seeing her fiance in real life, it got worse and worse, never better.
The reason she is shaking right now is because of her fiancée, Albert.
“Hello, my name is Albert Xernias of the Count Xernias family.”
First impressions of the fiance, who briefly introduce themselves and greet her and her mother.
Honestly it wasn’t bad. Black hair neatly arranged, and clear, clean black eyes that seem to reflect her when looking into her eyes.
It wasn’t enough to say he was very handsome, but this was enough to be seen as above-average appearance.
“…why are you looking at me like that? I feel bad.”
“····.”
Nevertheless, she said cold words to Albert, who had a bad first impression, asking what he was looking at.
It was because I thought this would be the best way to get a divorce easily. By instilling in Albert the idea that she hates him very much, so that he can go through the divorce proceedings on his own.
I felt a little guilty about saying hurtful things to someone I saw for the first time today.
I think it’s her fiancée, not her, who will be hurt if this betrothal relationship drags down. I was sorry and said harsh words.
…but now that I think about it, I don’t think there was any reason to be sorry.
“Duke, may I speak with the princess for a moment?”
“···········?”
Because her fiancée was far more insane than she expected.
The first time Albert told her mother to step away, she looked at him curiously.
Now that her mother is out of this room, nothing will help him. Rather, her mother, the Duchess of Valencia, was on Albert’s side, not hers.
Asking her to leave all of a sudden, isn’t this a much better situation for her?
She thought so for a while. After confirming the determined will in the eyes of the fiancee. I realized I was wrong.
Because in those fierce eyes, there was a burning desire to give it a try, whether he died or she died.
“······mother?”
It was then that he grabbed the hem of the Duchess’ robe.
It was not easy to predict what would happen to her if her mother heard her fiancée and left the drawing room like this.
“Rebecca, if you cause any more trouble to Confucius, you may be banned from going out.”
“····.”
But the mother’s reply back to her was as cold as the words she had told her fiancée.
“Please take good care of our Rebecca, Confucius.”
“It won’t take long.”
He opened the door to the drawing room and left, leaving Albert to take good care of her.
her mother is going out A drawing room with only her and her fiance left.
At the thought that Albert, who had sent his mother away, did not know what to do with her. Once I spit it out and looked at it.
“I don’t know why I let my mother go for a while… If you try to do anything strange to me, I’ll cut off her hand.”
“····.”
At first, Albert had an absurd expression on hearing her enraged words. I said to her with a quick expression on my face.
“It’s not strange. I never thought of that. Princess Rebecca.”
Her fiancée said she never thought of it that way.
Of course, he didn’t believe it. If she hadn’t thought of that, why did her mother let her go?
And Albert’s proposal followed.
“If you win a bet with me, I will leave this room immediately and break the marriage.”
break up. It was definitely what she wanted.
The fact that the word break-up came from the mouth of the fiancé, not her. I was very suspicious of that bet and did not immediately accept the offer.
“·······Ha, why should I accept that offer? If I ask my father, even if it takes a while, we will break up the marriage.”
Her judgment was very rational.
Her father, the Duke of Valencia, was more aristocratic than anyone else, but he wasn’t cold enough to get his daughter to get engaged.
It was clear that if she asked a request, it would be listened to, even if it would take some time.
When you are satisfied with your rational judgment. It was then that Albert’s words began to scratch her inside.
“Are you scared of me, the son of a mere countess, the Princess of Valencia? This is a bit disappointing.”
With a face of great disappointment, Albert asks if he is frightened.
“······· Are you ignoring me now? Ha, good. I’d like to hear about that bet.”
Even though she knew it was the bait, she had no choice but to take it.
The first impression wasn’t bad, but it was because she thought Albert was below her.
She couldn’t stand the feeling of being upset and rising at the thought that someone less than her was ignoring her.
“It’s simple. If you win a snowball fight with me, I will cleanly admit my defeat and ask the Duke to break the marriage.”
“…a snowball fight?”
“Yes, it’s a snowball fight.”
“Are you talking about the snowball fight that is a game played by commoners?”
And after hearing Albert’s suggestion, she laughed at Albert inside.
At first I thought I heard it wrong. When I asked to bet, I thought I was going to propose something huge, but the content was just a snowball fight for commoners.
“It’s just a bet that the common people play in a snowball fight. How far do you want to be sold by me?”
“So, you won’t?”
“No. I will.”
So when she accepted the offer, Albert finally revealed his purpose.
“If I win, you will have to sincerely apologize for what the princess said earlier.”
“…that was the purpose.”
Ever since we talked about the childish method of a snowball fight, I thought there was something else going on.
I hope you still remember what she said earlier. In addition to being crazy, her fiancée seemed to be a bit sloppy.
“So, you won’t?”
“Hurry up and finish it.”
However, she couldn’t miss the opportunity to break up so easily. Moreover, it was unlikely that she would lose to Albert in a snowball fight.
She accepted Albert’s offer and started a snowball fight.
“········I have won. Princess.”
“Where is this…”
And defeated.
Of course, she was very upset.
It was a fight she had won, but suddenly her fiance blew in her eyes.
Her eyes, which had been open for a long time, could not withstand the sudden attack.
So she was looking at Albert with an expression of what this was.
“Did I ever say that cheating is against the rules?”
Albert just brazenly says that such a rule did not exist. He didn’t seem to have any intention of looking at her situation.
“Aren’t you going to apologize?”
“Ha, did you expect me to apologize after winning in such a cowardly way?”
She thought that it would be absurd to accept such a result. I insisted not to apologize.
“If the princess says so. I will let people know that the princess has attacked me as she said.”
“Wait a minute, what?”
He had to doubt his ears at Albert’s subsequent remarks.
what nonsense is that
“What nonsense… that’s a lie!”
Although Albert’s words of spreading false rumors could not be understood with common sense.
“What does that have to do with the fact that the princess and I are the only ones who know what happened in this room.”
“····.”
Unfortunately, her fiancée was not a common-sense person.
So she finally raised the white flag first.
“·······What should I do?”
“Didn’t you tell me already? You can sincerely apologize to me for what I said earlier.”
I really hated it more than dying to apologize. Because I couldn’t watch such absurd rumors spread among the nobles who morbidly like talking to others.
“······do.”
He apologized in a hoarse voice.
“Someone who used to be good at making loud noises at me until now. Now you have a lower voice than the sound of an ant crawling.”
“····.”
“If you don’t apologize straight away, I’ll tell you to publish the news that the princess attacked me in the newspaper linked to our count.”
Of course, there was no way her fiance could easily pass it on.
“I’m sorry that I felt bad as soon as I saw you!”
In the end, she had no choice but to hold back tears and apologize sincerely.
It was so shameful. It was the first time in my life that I was so embarrassed.
“I heard the Princess’s apology. I will forgive her, especially considering the face of her fiancee, Princess Rebecca.”
“····.”
As if it didn’t end there, Albert forgave her inside and scratched her.
“········ Leave it alone.”
All she could do was shake her body and spit out lines like a third-rate villain.
“I want to see you again. I was moved. Princess.”
“····.”
Her fiance, who had scratched her insides until the very end, left the drawing room.
puck-! puck-!
She hit the cushion of the innocent sofa.
“…Alber Xernias.”
I promise I will never forget this humiliation.
