chapter 59
“Is dancing awkward?”
” ..I haven’t learned that much.”
Colorful lights made by magic, white marble emitting a soft light, and soft music.
A banquet hosted by Count Espera to welcome Louis.
Numerous nobles ask for each other’s well-being, choose their favorite partner, and have a good time dancing.
And Louis and Rommel standing at the center of the banquet.
The two looked at each other, held hands and started dancing to the music.
Louis with an open shoulder that reveals the shoulder line and an unconventional dress with a pierced back is impressive.
While many noble men lose their gaze to Louis, Louis and Rommel meet each other’s eyes and dance slowly and leisurely.
Rommel had never been trained to dance professionally, so he was moving his body to match Louis.
Rommel, who hasn’t even debuted in a social church yet, is still unfamiliar with dancing.
When I was learning to dance, I read books from another world, and when I was learning graceful gestures, I fell into daydreams and thoughts.
That’s why I was able to make the current Rommel, but Rommel resented the past self for not learning to dance.
“Slowly step forward. I will lead.”
” ..thank you. “
If there was a mouse hole, I would have wanted to crawl in and hide… but now that Louis is dancing happily with a bright smile, I can’t get it out.
Laying her hands behind Louis’ back and letting the weight flow, she slowly shakes her body to the music of the banquet hall.
Step slightly forward, move carefully so that your feet do not collide, and finish the dance in front of everyone.
“Louis.”
“Why are you calling me?”
“Did you make your debut?”
“Of course. You made your debut at the age of 15.”
” ..I see. “
It is also understandable that if you have already debuted in the debut Tangte, you can naturally pass the gaze of men.
The name of the daughter of the Count Espera’s family is not an easy one.
Hypocrites who whisper unfavorable love, show unfavorable kindness, and profess unsuitable friendships.
Louis would have had to endure alone in such a debutantante where all kinds of people were overflowing.
There must be some who are aiming for Louis even in places where the Earl’s breath cannot reach.
“Because I haven’t debuted in the debut Tangte yet.”
“..Really? You haven’t even made your debut yet. What happened..?”
“It’s long to explain, there are family issues. There are things that I don’t like even though there are a lot of people.”
” ..even if so.”
Aristocrats who did not make their debut in the debut Tangte are excluded from the social church early.
This proves that the family has been pushed out of the race for succession early, so no one wants to make friends with the nobles who haven’t made their debut.
In conclusion, it was said that Rommel could not become the head of Viscount Griff.
“Honestly, I don’t have much greed for the position of the head of the household. Even if I become the head of a family that is falling apart, I will have to live my whole life buried in a pile of papers.”
” ..then..! “
Suddenly, an idea popped into Louie’s head.
That’s right.
‘ Daryl son-in-law..! ‘
The idea of bringing Rommel as Daryl’s son-in-law to Count Espera!
Since Rommel doesn’t mean much to the family anyway, wouldn’t everyone be satisfied if Rommel was brought in as Count Espera?
I tried to focus on dancing to clear my mind, but…
” What’s going on? “
As Rommel’s face came into view, it started to have the opposite effect.
It was a dress with a lot of body exposure, but somehow my body started to heat up and my eyes started to spin.
“I can’t, let’s go get some rest.”
Rommel grabbed Louis’ hand and dragged him out of the banquet hall.
“Ugh…”
Louis is suddenly dragged to somewhere.
He was concerned about the gaze of the people around him, but now he was satisfied with the fact that he was just being grabbed by Rommel and led somewhere.
“Let’s rest here for a bit.”
The place where Louis arrived was outside the banquet hall.
Rommel, who was seated outside Louis, took off his coat and put it on Louis.
The sea breeze coming from the shore and the fine dress were the perfect conditions to catch a cold.
“Oh, thank you.”
“What do you have with this?”
“…I always think about it…but Prince Rommel seems to be very considerate.”
” ..Yeah? I don’t think it’s particularly good.”
Louie’s lips stick out at Rommel’s words.
Rommel was completely unaware of his charm.
Caring for them as if indifferently, and all those actions are done unconsciously.
“..because you’re such an idiot.”
“Why am I such an idiot?”
“What you’re doing is stupid, stupid, then. What is it?”
“I don’t think I did anything stupid.”
” Anyway! “
Louis raising his finger and talking to Rommel.
“Don’t treat anyone that way!”
” ..Did I care?”
“I guess I don’t know anything.”
Louie frowned cutely at Rommel’s consistent behavior as if she knew nothing.
I don’t want the guy I like to be considerate of anyone, but it’s no use if I say this myself.
“..let’s go in and pack up.”
” …okay. “
The leg pain must have gone away, Louis grabbed Rommel’s collar and started walking to the banquet hall.
*************
“Cool..!”
Someone, whose clothes were all black, was vomiting a handful of blood.
” haha.. “
The back alley of Espera’s estate, a place where sailors and navigators who have finished their voyages drink beer to warm up their tired bodies.
Opened eyes, saliva dripping out.
On the street where drug-addicted people stumble through the streets.
“What a crazy bitch…!”
“Hey, that’s a good recipe. You can withstand the magic of this body.”
A girl who draws attention with a skirt that is short enough to show the inside, and an unconventional attire that barely exposes the shoulder line.
“The witch…how…!”
“It’s possible because you’re a witch, you fool.”
The witch, Cynthia, was pointing her wand at someone.
Cynthia was preparing to shoot a magic and blow away the suspicious person at any moment.
“You look like a foolish and arrogant bastard.”
With a cold cynical expression, he stared at the person in the black robe.
“Do you think that an imperial prince can have a witch?
The person wearing the robe is a scout sent by the second prince.
He arrived at the academy to monitor Rommel under the command of the second prince, but when he heard that the subject he wanted to monitor had left for the southern part of the empire, he hurriedly packed up his belongings and arrived at the estate of Espera.
The original mission was to monitor Rommel and bring him into the limbs of Prince Jessie.
Cynthia, the witch in the moonlight.
The witch, who wields a mysterious wand that fully embraces the moonlight that illuminates the ground at night, was a more important figure than Rommel.
So he changed the direction of the plan.
Rather than recruit Rommel, let’s approach the witch first.
“You cheeky Ajay, the countless kings who have left their names in history couldn’t have had witches… What kind of guts is your master?”
The witch already knew that there was a second prince behind him.
He tried to prolong his life by catching the life that seemed to fly away at any moment, but it didn’t seem like that witch would save him.
You shouldn’t think of witches in line with human morals.
Their laws are different from humans, and because they see the world from a different perspective, they don’t care about the life of a single human being.
” ..it was only me who meant it.”
So he decided to die with the bomb alone.
To prevent the witch’s wrath from reaching the second prince.
“It is a matter for this body to decide on its own.”
He tried to draw himself in using Rommel.
It angered Cynthia for bringing in unspoiled children into dirty political battles.
Children who have not yet come out.
Cynthia did not like the dirty behavior of dirty political forces who manipulate and use such children.
Boom!
“Cuckoo..!”
Cynthia strikes her head with a stick and then lightly tramps her face with her feet.
“…if I die, the prince will attach more people to Rommel.”
“It’s enough to kill them all.”
” ..Are you making enemies of the Empire and the Knights? You’re fine because you’re a witch, but Rommel probably won’t.”
“..this madman.”
Cynthia frowns at his words, shouting with evil, and then falls into trouble for a moment.
It certainly wouldn’t do any harm to himself as a witch, but with Rommel and those guys, the story is a little different.
Worst choice for a supervisor who is responsible for someone else.
“Hmm.. what would you like to do?”
I thought I wanted to throw him down the river, but…
” ah! “
At that moment, an idea suddenly ran through Cynthia’s head.
“There was one thing you had to do.”
Seeing Cynthia smiling at him with a sinister smile, the scout just shed a cold sweat.
