Secrets With the Crown Prince 15
A week later, I followed Chardonn by the entrance.
And I saw it. People who are surprised to see us from the palace garden.
"What's wrong with people? It's like they've seen a ghost.
When I asked the question, Chardonn drew my hand with a face telling me not to care.
Prince Verdi's power is enormous, but Chardonn is the enemy of this country. He was the successor. And he was also the biggest scoundrel in the Empire.
The first news I heard when I came to the Alpine Empire was that the crown prince ran away from home.
Chardonn did not have that common fiancee.
Young lady, who was mentioned as a candidate for the crown prince, had an accident.
On the other hand, rumors spread that Chardonn was out of his mind and that God had punished him and cursed him.
In many ways, Chardonn was surrounded by eerie rumors.
"I'm always a stranger here. I was born in this world, and I couldn't get along."
I was silent at Chardonn's self-help monologue.
"Everyone is anxious to isolate me."
While I couldn't find a word to answer easily, we reached the front of the drawing room where the empress was waiting.
I waited for the lady waiting at the door to announce our visit.
Visiting permission fell into the door and the white, wooden door of the drawing room opened slippery in the hand of the maid.
And the empress, who was sitting in the drawing room, was surprised to see her husband and wife as she stood up.
It's the same reaction as any other Imperial Palace people I've seen on my way here.
And Chardonn, who was looking at it, looked back at me with a face that he thought of something.
"Maybe it's because I killed a lot of people. That's why everyone reacts like that when they see me."
I was stunned by the words and looked at Chardonn.
"If I didn't kill him, I would have to die. I wanted to live."
Chardonn tried to smile and pat me on the head.
"Are you afraid of me now?"
I was more surprised than scared. It seems that what happened at the selection ceremony of the guards/knights was often the case. I tried to answer as if I were calm.
"…a little, to be honest."
I laughed bitterly at my answer with the face that Chardon expected. So I said that without realizing it.
"Repent."
"What?"
"I'm a Confucian girl, so it's hard to take it easily, but God will forgive you for a reason. Repent."
I was so serious. He burst into laughter as I clasped his hands and said.
I was so worried that Chardonn might have really churned out for a while because he really held his stomach and laughed like crazy.
"Ena Knox Lubiche Young-Ae."
"Young Lady, Ena Knox Lubiche"
And then I remembered that we weren't the only ones here.
It was always like that with Chardonn. I used to forget my surroundings by stopping at this pace, it's not like me.
"I'm sorry, Her Majesty. Forgive my rudeness. Late greetings, Enna Knox Lubiche."
I did my best to use all the manners I had learned to say a gracious greeting.
But the Empress asked me with an air of indifference to my greetings.
"That's not it. Young lady, how did you do that?"
Yes?
Well…….how.can you talk to C, Claude so tenderly?"
The empress asked me with a really curious face.
And I tilted my head because I couldn't understand it any more. What does this mean?
"I've never seen C, Claude smile like that…"
"Mother."
Chardonn called the Empress with a very low voice.
He doesn't have any expression. He looks creepy.
The Empress quietly shut up.
***
Do-hyuk was kicked out of the drawing room. This is because he was sent out saying that the bell was interrupting.
"Your Highness Reynolds?"
Dohyuk was rescued by his aide Joseph while wandering in front of the door of the drawing room like a lost dog.
"I knew you had come back from the palace when I saw it was a mess. What are you doing here?"
Joseph, who was walking through the hallway in an imperial civil servant uniform with his red feet neatly brushed, found Dohyuk and asked with a curious face.
"That's all you feel about seeing me? Wasn't it your job to assist me?"
Dohyuk smiled with a fine face, glancing at the closed drawing room door.
Joseph looked at the tightly closed door following Do Hyuk, hugging the documents he was holding in his arms.
"Is there anyone inside?"
Joseph reached out one hand and grabbed the doorknob, and Dohyuk cut his hand hard.
"Not here. Where are you going?"
"There's a lot of work you've ordered. Here's the tax reform plan you mentioned earlier. The legal department is supposed to review it today."
Dohyuk took out some documents from Joseph's arms and looked through them with his eyes.
"By the way, I got a new update from Eleanor."
This time, Joseph took a crumpled paper out of his jacket pocket and handed it to Dohyuk.
"Prince Verdi seems to have asked for information about the author of 'Caden'. It's like I asked Eleanor from behind."
Dohyuk read a letter in the handwriting of Count Jenas, Prince Verdi's forces.
The aristocrats of Prince Verdi constantly pressured Eleanor and the director-general of the Alpine newspaper.
This is to create negative public opinion on the theft.
We don't even know that Eleanor and Director-General Harold are double spies who receive information from them and deliver it to Dohyuk.
"I'm here to hear from Director Herrard who wrote 'Caden'."
Joseph secretly lowered his voice as he looked around Do-hyuk.
Dohyuk smiled and shook his head.
"I already know who it is."
She knew even before she confessed that the author of "The Man of Frederica" was a blizzard.
The style of the bell is unique. Very lyrical and trendy at the same time.
He had loved her style since she started her career in the New Spring.
She couldn't hide her unique characteristics in letters even in the composition of the broadcast, which she didn't have a particular style of writing.
"You knew it, too. I heard that after finishing the novel, Lubiche Young lady herself will have an interview. I don't think he'll hide his identity, is that okay? I'm a little worried about how Prince Verdi will come out."
Dohyuk shrugged at Joseph's words full of anxiety.
'Don't worry about it—I have something in mind.'
Dohyuk recalled the conversation he had with Bubble recently.
The composition you showed him asking for "stimulating editing" is really…
Izzie wasn't expecting this.
My goal is to give Serinne Young-ae a punch and expand my presence. But I think it's in line with the producer' Serine Young-ae is getting engaged to Prince Verdi, but it's not a rumor, it's real. Then Prince Verdi can join us. At this point, why don't you punch Prince Verdi and restore his honor? We're taking advantage of the bad news about us from Serine Young-ae and Prince Verdi. I'll set the table. Producer, you can edit it. As stimulating as possible.'
So it was the man of Frederica that she laid down.
Although it has only been five years since Bell came to this world, he has grasped the nature of the world and adapted easily.
He was also a man who understood theft better than anyone else.
Is it not just that, they have been working together for four years without any personal leisure time in Korea, supporting each other.
So now, just by looking at his eyes. I knew we would understand what each other wanted and take care of the work.
"And I hear you brought someone?"
Joseph asked, staring at Dohyuk's face. Only then did he reach Joseph out of his mind.
"Is this Lubiche Young lady?"
Joseph burst into laughter after watching Dohyuk's eyebrows wriggle for a while.
"Now all the nobles in the system know that you've been in the Lubice mansion all month."
Joseph looked at Dohyuk's reaction and asked again in wonder.
"Is he the one, by any chance, Lubiche Young-ae? The one you've been waiting for."
"What?"
"You've been saying that for a long time. I don't want a woman who doesn't understand all the strange things you say."
Joseph looked at Do-hyuk and the closed door alternately and shrugged his shoulders with a face that was understandable.
"But the king sticks like a leech next to the spirit of Lubiche and does not fall. When I heard that, I thought you finally met someone like that. I think I'm going to overwork myself because I have a lot of work to do, but what can I do? I heard that Lord Reynolds showed up."
"The leech…"
Dohyuk looked dazed by Joseph's absurd analogy.
"He's the one in there, isn't he? How surprised I was to hear that Kaden was Lubiche Young-ae."
At Joseph's words, Dohyuk glanced at the tightly closed door without any answer.
Rumors spread. The story of the Crown Prince being crazy about a stranger with an unfamiliar appearance.
Originally, Dohyuk was always crazy about something, but this was the first time rumors of a scandal were circulating.
I think it would have been better if I had not been born with memories of my previous life, and I have already entered 26 years since I lived.
And after 26 years of hard work, Do Hyuk felt relieved for the first time that he had remembered his past life. The relief was commensurate with the euphoria.
Bubble and Do Hyuk are not intertwined with such things as sloppy consensus.
There was such a bonding ritual between the two that discussed identity itself. The kind of tenacity that makes me feel like I found my missing half. At least that's what Dohyuk thought.
"Do you know why I've been crazy for 26 years, Joseph?"
Joseph tilted his head at Do-hyuk's question.
"It was to meet Ena."
Joseph's face was young, like the expression he made when he saw something strange.
Do Hyuk burst into laughter.
"That's enough, you're on your way."
What about you, Your Highness?
"I'll wait for Enna."
Joseph looked again at the tightly closed door.
Then, there was a loud laugh in the room. Even Do Hyuk was surprised and looked back at the closed door.
"Isn't that the voice of Her Majesty?"
Joseph looked at Do Hyuk with a dazed face.
"Is Her Majesty here? How's Lubiche?"
Dohyuk nodded without answering. Joseph just spewed admiration with a surprised face.
"I've never seen my mother smile like that before."
Then the door to the drawing room opened and a black-haired woman appeared.
Bell looked surprised when he found Dohyuk and Joseph while coming out.
"You were here, weren't you?"
Joseph was surprised to hear the words of a bruising bell at the sight of the thief. Her comfort with Do Hyuk came from the way she spoke.
"What did you enjoy talking about so much?"
Do Hyuk asked out of curiosity. How did she have such a pleasant conversation with his strict mother?
The bell smiled innocently and answered.
"Of course, I laughed while talking behind your back."
Then I patted him on the shoulder. Joseph only tilted his head because he did not know the meaning of "Cha Do-hyuk" mentioned by Bell.
"You need a public enemy to get close to each other. Thank you for the sacrifice."
Joseph saw Do-hyuk's face frowned with a happy and embarrassed expression.
It is also great to draw such a look from a madman like Do Hyuk in the first place.
Joseph looked at the woman in front of him with amazing eyes.
Then the woman blinked a couple of dark brown eyes and looked at him.
"Who is this handsome guy?"
Joseph thought she had a greater eye than he thought.
Only then did Joseph take the papers in his arms and greet her.
"I'm Joseph Louis Didier, an aide to His Highness Reynolds."
