NOVEL NEXT chapter 11
11 – 11 – Debutante.
The day of the debutante.
“ Gaaaaa♡!! ”
A woman’s scream is heard.
No need to worry.
There was absolutely no accident.
My sister, Lilith, who makes all the fuss, is just Lilith.
” Ed~♡ So pretty!! “
Warm
” Ah! Your clothes are wrinkled! “
“ Ed is also pretty in his wrinkled clothes! ”
“ Haa.. ”
Even if it was a debutante hosted by the imperial family, he said he would not wear anything even if it cost him money.
Of course, Lilith, her mother Camilla, and even her father were very disappointed, but cremation was a no-no.
No matter how much we have adapted to living in a world where men and women are reversed, makeup is a must for a man’s body.
That’s why it was difficult to refuse a request to wear the clothes that Camilla and Lilith had chosen.
Hmm, Ed, this looks good.
No! Mom, this is prettier!
Wouldn’t it be too frustrating? This much…
You can’t show even the slightest bit of skin! Shameless!
… Okay, let’s do this..
Of course, since Lilith made such a fuss about herself that even Camilla gave in, she ended up wearing clothes closer to her older sister’s tastes than to her mother’s.
The clothes she chose were close to a modern tailored suit.
In this world, men usually wear suits or formal clothes that look like something out of a romantic fantasy story at parties.
But unlike him, in order for Lilith to dress me in different clothes, she placed a special order and made new clothes for me.
That’s what I’m wearing right now, and strangely enough, the style is close to the modern suits of the Earth I lived in in my first life.
The preparation period was only a few days…
From what I heard, the designers and seamstresses were extremely sweet and urged.
No! You held a knife in front of my throat and threatened me!
Hmm… I think I’m hearing someone’s unknown shouting, but let’s ignore it.
First of all, I really liked the suit itself.
It is a beautifully made outfit that fits my body shape perfectly and is not too tight.
I’ve always lived until I was 20, so I’m not sure…
It can be seen as a suit similar to expensive luxury brands such as GuX and OhmX.
Oh shit.
Now that I think about it, I died without even being able to wear a suit like this properly.
No, sadly, these are clothes that I wonder if I could wear even if I continued to live on Earth.
Anyway.
It’s a bit hard to say it with my own mouth, but…
This handsome face goes well with nice clothes, so when I look at myself in the mirror, I can understand why Lilith goes a little overboard.
I like the clothes, and seeing myself look great makes me feel so good that it’s actually hard to hold back a smile.
However.
“ Young master, you are beautiful! ”
Grace also compliments, but rather than praising a handsome man, it’s more like appreciating a pretty flower..
I’m trying to adapt, but this world of gender reversal is still a bit uncomfortable.
” Young master, you are cool! “
” Yes, thank you. “
” Hehe. “
Emma may be stupid, but she has a really good sense of humor, even though she’s not sure if he’s after her or not.
You tell me what I want to hear the most.
” Ed praised me too! “
” Young master! “
Lilith and Grace called me with sad expressions, but I did my best to ignore them.
When I left the dressing room, my parents were waiting outside.
“ Oh! Honey, look at our Ed. Look at how pretty it is! ”
” Yes, that’s right. You’re beautiful, Ed. “
” Yes. Thank you “
” Ed!! Me~! “
Ah, you can’t chew on your parents’ praise.
Looking at Camilla’s face, even though I said I would attend, it seemed like she was worried that she might do something unexpected.
I, the man Edward Frigid.
I won’t say it twice, but my heart aches because I feel like I haven’t been able to trust her mother, perhaps because I’ve behaved so immaturely.
Well, I have to do better from now on.
And..
When I think about it, I am a princess like my mother said..
Charlotte would be a decent bride.
Good looks and good body.
My family and abilities are great.
Now that I think about it, maybe I’m the one with a full stomach.
She didn’t think that if she were paired with her, her crazy bitches wouldn’t rush to put a knife in her stomach.
“ Ed? ”
” Yes, sister? “
“ Hmm.. I think I’m thinking about something bad. ”
“ Is that possible? Haha.. ”
I haven’t really had any bad thoughts, but why do I get cold sweats?
“ Ed. Pink hair.. No, even if the imperial family forces you to host it, you don’t have to attend..”
” Lilith, the conversation is already over. “
” Ha.. I understand. Mother. “
My sister Lilith seemed dissatisfied with my presence until the end.
I think he hates it more than I do.
Even though I thanked her for her concern and told her I was fine, her expression still looked uncomfortable.
” Let’s go! Lilith, Ed! And honey. “
“ Ah. Your father ”
As the atmosphere seemed to be getting depressed, my father spoke brightly and led us to the party hall.
It’s finally the opening.
Not a typical coming-of-age ceremony, but a debutante looking for a companion.
I entered the party hall with determination.
.
.
.
“ Young master, wow!! ”
“ Even if the princess tries to stop me this time, it’s no use!! ”
“ Even if I die, I will at least hold Young master’ hand haha.. Haha..!! ”
… Cancel.
I lacked resolve.
What is happening?
Who are all these people?
Mom, I’m scared!
” What kind of fuss is this! “
“ Everyone is coming at Ed, no, get out! ”
” Young master, it’s dangerous! “
” I will protect you too, Young master! “
No, isn’t it a class society?
Even if my mother, who was a grand duke, shouted, and my sister, who succeeded her, got angry, it was no use.
Numerous women ran in front of me in a frenzy.
Wow, I’ll be thrilled.
“Honey~~!! “
” You!! “
Ah. My father collapsed under the crowd of people.
No, even if you do this, you are the wife of the Grand Duke. Is it okay to do that?
“ Mother!! Give me your son!! ”
“Whose mother is this? It’s my mother!! ”
“ Haha.. Haha.. It doesn’t matter! Ed, at least once! ”
Whether that was the case or not, numerous noble women kept rushing towards them.
Grace and Emma were also working hard to block it, but it seemed like they would break through sooner or later.
Look, I said this is why I don’t want to attend!
To others, it may seem like a scene where a popular celebrity is surrounded by fans by Korean standards.
Absolutely not!
I can only see those women flocking towards me as ‘my death.’
‘ I wasn’t attending as expected. ‘
With that thought in mind, it was the moment I turned back to run away.
” Ed~♡! “
Warm
“ Hwang, the princess!? ”
“ No!!! ”
“ Young master!! ”
The identity of the woman who suddenly hugged me was Princess Charlotte, heir to the imperial throne.
Charlotte, who came in after us, was behind us along with several other people, including the emperor.
” What is this? Stop the fuss! “
The emperor who came in together, finally calmed down when Elizabeth shouted loudly.
Well, no matter what, the emperor gives orders, and if this is not controlled, it is just treason. Guys, I thought about it well.
After the commotion was finally settled to some extent, the debutante began to proceed normally again.
.
.
.
” Ugh.. I heard it through rumors, but I can’t believe it’s true! “
“ I say I am the princess, but I don’t want to give in! ”
” I usually really disliked Princess Lilith, but today I will support her! “
No, the disturbance has not been resolved.
I kept hearing shouts and the gazes of countless women behind me.
The reason is.
“Princess Lilith. Today is a special day, Ed’s debutante. ”
” Yes, I know. Pink… No, the princess. “
“Haha.. Then you shouldn’t stand in the way of her beloved younger brother, right? ”
“ If the path ahead is hell, we should stop it, right? ”
“ Hey! ”
“ Fighting, Lilith!! ”
” That’s right! That’s right! “
“ You guys!! ”
It’s because of these two people in front of me.
” Hey guys, calm down…”
“ Ed♡ Could you be quiet for a moment? ”
“ Ed, please wait a moment! ”
“ Yes. ”
Well, this is complete bullshit. Give up.
” Even if the princess chooses the location for the imperial debutant as she pleases, Ed is not allowed! “
“ What do you mean it can’t be done? How could you, as a sister, bind her brother like this! ”
” As a sister, I can only protect my brother! “
” Are you saying that I am going to harm Ed? “
” Yes! “
” Ha!? “
Hey.
Grand Duke Frigid? Emperor of a great empire?
It looks like your two daughters are pulling their hair or are on the verge of a fistfight?
Aren’t you going to stop me?
I sent a look of help towards the Emperor and the Grand Duke, who were sitting at a specially prepared table at the head of the table.
“ Huh, hmm. The weather is nice, Grand Duke Frigid. ”
“ Cluck, cluck, cluck. Yes, Your Highness. The weather is nice ”
Hahaha!
Wow. You pretend not to know each other about this.
My mother, Camilla, seems to have given up on anything related to me because Lilith’s eyes are rolling, and it seems that His Majesty the Emperor is unable to control his daughter.
” Fighting, Princess Lilith!! “
“ Please stop the princess’s tyranny!! ”
“ Hey you guys!! ”
As the noblewomen behind her also fired back at Lilith, Charlotte was put on the defensive.
From my perspective, I wanted to take the time to sit down with her and get to know her and check her feelings, but looking at the situation, it seems absolutely impossible.
Above all.
” Ed♡ You’re the same as me, right~? “
” Yes? “
” Look! Ed says it’s true too! “
” No princess! Ed clearly answered in a question format! “
” The word yes remains the same! “
” Well, what is that!! “
It seemed like it would never work out, even if it was because of my older sister Lilith.
It’s good that he cares about me, but I felt like it was too much and the situation was getting too heated, so I tried to open my mouth.
But at that moment.
“ The Pope, the warrior, and church officials will have their positions!! ”
I had no choice but to stop when I heard people from the church entering.
It is safe to say that this empire is divided into three powers: our Grand Duchy of Frigid, the imperial family, and the church.
That is why, when the Pope, the highest authority in the church, enters, attention is bound to be focused.
But you are a hero?
Was it a dragon story?
I was curious about who the hero was, so naturally I looked at the front gate.
And.
The moment I saw the person with the Pope at the main gate, I couldn’t help but stiffen.
‘ No, why is that crazy bitch here!? ‘
Because it’s a mess.
‘ Oh, I guess not? No way.. Haha..? ’
