I Was Kicked Out of the Party Even Though the Hero Is My Girlfriend

22 – dinner appointment and another appointment (1)

***

After talking with Joris, I opened the door and came out into the hallway.

After closing the door, I turned around and met the eyes of the smiling princess with her hands folded neatly on her stomach.

“What were you talking about?”

“… … ”

Before answering, I inadvertently scanned her whole body from top to bottom.

I needed time to think about what to answer.

Should I say it was someone I knew before or should I ignore it?

Today’s Audrit had her hair braided into two sides and curled up like a princess, so the white nape of her neck was exposed.

It was her usual hairstyle.

The silk dress she wore was a harmonious blend of blue and white, and the tight top highlighted the curves of her feminine and soft body.

It was a woman.

The feeling that I am a steamed woman.

The pleated skirt, which was long enough to drag the floor below the narrow waist, was impressive.

Overall, she deserved the best female award in the royal palace today.

“Ah, okay. You mean don’t ask? Because I decided not to ask anything I didn’t want to say.”

As the silence lengthened, Audrit pursed her lips.

Then they laughed again and walked side by side down the aisle, talking to each other again.

“But you don’t look good. Are you worried?”

“Is it bad?”

“Yeah, it’s not good. There is no smile.”

She suddenly took her hand.

Her right hand conveyed her temperature.

It was a woman with cold hands.

But it felt good.

puzzled at the same time

I stopped walking and looked at her.

“Let go now. What if other people see… ”

“I’m not feeling well, so I’m telling you to cheer up. You did that to me last time. They say that if you hold my hand, the energy that wasn’t there will come out.”

She smiled brightly.

If you cheer up in front of a pure smile that seems to say, cheer up, there is nothing to say even if you are cursed at.

I couldn’t help but cheer up.

A smile forms on your lips.

“Me?”

“Yes, you held my hand while riding a horse last time. It was strangely powerful. Thanks to you, I was able to hold on.”

“When you get bitten by a snake? ah… ”

I was a little moved by the unexpected story.

At that time, I was out of my mind and said nothing.

Even after I did it, I forgot about it.

Do you still remember those words?

It was a look that Keira didn’t have.

I’m interested in the type of girl I’ve never seen before.

I just wanted to play around.

“Actually, the bad expression today is all the princess’s fault.”

“Is it my fault? why?”

“I came out doing it so pretty.”

“yes?”

As if out of the blue, what does that mean? She blinked her eyes.

He smiled at her face and put his hand on top of hers.

“I want to see only myself, but other guys will see it, so I feel bad because I’m jealous.”

“… to?”

Surprised, it makes a strange sound.

I’ve felt it before, but she’s a woman whose reactions are fun.

She quickly corrected her expression and released her hand.

He rolled his eyes as if to hide his shyness.

“Have you seduced women with such a nasty love dance?”

“I don’t feel it, did I feel it?”

“You must have felt and fell in love with that kind of line, didn’t you? Is it okay?”

“eww… I’ll have to use something else next time. I don’t feel sick. I prepared hard.”

As I scratched my head pretending to be sorry, she let out a bright smile.

“Do your research. Even if it’s special, I’ll pass it once. Anyway, what are you going to do now?”

“I do not know. Originally, the visiting group’s hunting was scheduled for the morning, but the schedule was canceled due to Mr. Lloris’ work, so there is nothing else to do for the time being. Hmm~ Time is running out, what should I do? Should I sneak into the room of the princess, who is the treasure of our kingdom?”

As I spoke with a shudder, Audrit squinted her eyes.

“What are you doing by breaking in?”

“You know what else? Can I sneak a peek at the change of clothes?”

“transformation. Shall I send you to jail?”

“I don’t like it.”

Maru turned his back and started walking down the hallway.

“Just come to my room!”

Audrit stood for a moment, glanced, then immediately followed him.

After that, the two of them were chatting and walking, when Audrit suddenly stopped in front of the library.

“Wait. I need to find a book. A trade book.”

“yes. Then see you later.”

Audrit quickly grabbed Maru’s arm as he was about to leave.

“I have to help you find it. Where are you going? He said he had a lot of time.”

“I am really busy.”

“I know you’re not busy, so come in quickly.”

She opened the library door and forced her way in.

Maru had no choice but to start rummaging through the vast library with her.

“I just heard it, but I forgot. What was the name of the book you were looking for?”

When Maru asked loudly, Audrit, who was looking for a book on the other side, shouted.

“Introduction to trade studies and sailing ships for maritime trade, these two! Both were written by a man named Longdegan!”

“Ah yes.”

After that, we looked at the bookshelves carefully without speaking to each other.

Maybe an hour passed.

A yawn began to come out of Maru’s mouth.

I stretched out and looked around.

‘When will I find those books in this wide space… Is there such a book?’

Scratching the back of her head, she called out to Audrey.

I’m bored, but I need to chat.

“You know the novel I told you about when I was bitten by a snake the other day? What is the name of that book?”

“Which novel is it?”

“I won’t die. I’ll be sure to save you. I promise you. I heard that there is a hero novel in which these lines appeared.”

“ah.”

Audrit, who was looking at the bookshelf, smiled broadly as if something came to mind.

It’s a book that makes you feel good just thinking about it.

“Alexia’s Heroic War. That’s what I did to my boyfriend who was wounded on the battlefield. The book will be over there in the corner of the Great Man Hall.”

“OMG.”

The hand of Maru, who was flipping through the book, stopped.

“What’s wrong?”

“No, nothing. Since it’s Alexia’s heroic story, the great man’s story will be boring, but did you read that too?”

“Are you bored? How fun.”

Audrit hugged a thick book to her chest and looked up at the ceiling with a smile.

“This is a very exciting book that tells the biography of Alexia, a hero who was called the Goddess of War or Lightning. When I was young, I read that book and wanted to become a hero like Alexia. But I’m not good at martial arts, so I can’t handle a sword properly. I gave up.”

“I’m sorry.”

“If I have a wish before I die, I want to see my idol, Alexia. Now that she has quit her job as a warrior, she is ruling a huge empire made up of the Eight Kingdoms far away from here. I think the second name is really cool too.”

“Princess, how would you like Audrey when she ascends to the position of queen?”

“Is it weird?”

Audrey sticking out her tongue in a dainty way.

Then he put back the book he was holding and looked carefully at the bookshelf again.

“Anyway, our kingdom of Basilite was almost destroyed by the Black Dragon a long time ago, but Alexia-sama saved it. That’s why all the people still love him. If there is a chance, I would like to go to the empire as a representative and express my gratitude. If I use my organs to trade with that country, wouldn’t I be able to meet you someday?”

“Is it possible to trade if the distance is too far? Escorts, food, transportation costs, and money will be terrifying.”

“I know. It is impossible for a small country like us to move first unless we hold hands in a well-funded empire. Also, you may not like our specialties. This is what I wish for. Wishes are earnestly wishing for things that are difficult to come true… ”

She opened her eyes and clapped her hands.

“ah! Special grade oysters came in as a trade item. Do you want to eat them together tonight?”

“Why is the story jumping out of there all of a sudden?”

“Do you want to eat or not? Really fresh and delicious. It is also very large.”

Oysters were a high-end food ingredient that was barely eaten once or twice a year.

The ransom was quite expensive, so oyster dishes were difficult to access even for ordinary nobles.

Maru thought briefly and touched his chin.

“I’m craving it. By the way, you didn’t bring it in to put it on the Sura table, did you?”

“Right?”

“it’s okay?”

“What?”

“I was told to tell you.”

“I manage the trade goods anyway, so you can say that I brought in five out of ten.”

“Are you going to jail together?”

“Are you afraid of the person who tried to sneak into the princess’ bedroom?”

“It could be.”

Maru turned one arm around.

“When I think about eating oysters and getting stronger, I feel excited. I’m going to jail. I’m not afraid that the princess will go with me, and she will be reassuring.”

“like.”

Audrey smiles happily.

“Come to my private dining room at 7pm. It’s just the two of us, so don’t bring Edward and come by yourself.”

“Absolutely. Even if oysters are a waste, no one will bring them.”

“I promised.”

“yes.”

The two, who promised to meet again this evening, immediately stopped looking for books and parted ways.

It seemed that Audrit had a lot to prepare.

He said he was suddenly busy and wanted to go out, but Maru followed suit.

“I look forward to the oysters. Looking forward to the oysters… ”

Maru, who came out of the library, muttered to himself and headed for the office.

When the door was opened, a young male scribe jumped up from his seat.

“Did you go!”

20 years old, his name is Oliver.

It was the son of the count.

Like his peers, he was learning work under a high-ranking aristocrat.

2 years here, 2 years there, and 2 years in another place, he was developing his ability to lead the family in the future by experiencing practical work in various places.

“Sit down, sit down.”

Maru gestured and walked into the innermost desk.

As soon as I sat down in the chair, I took out a letter.

He was determined to quickly dispel the concerns that had lingered in the corner of his mind even while he was with Audrit a moment ago.

“Even though I insisted so much not to send them… ”

About the kidnapping of Lloris.

It hasn’t been revealed yet, but Maru was 70% sure that the people sent by her mother were certain.

He picked up a pen and immediately began to write.

mother. I’m mad I told you not to send…

Maru stopped writing and pondered for a while.

Then I crumpled the paper and started writing again.

Recently, an incident occurred in Basilite Kingdom. The people sent by mother must be right?

… After writing, Maru stopped writing again.

I shook my head.

“No, this is not it. Sending it this way will hurt my mother.”

Others are very afraid of mother, but because Maru is a child, if she doesn’t like it, she gets angry, gets angry, gets annoyed, and does whatever she wants.

Even so, his mother always coaxed him, comforted him, and pampered him.

Since he was the son he earnestly wished for, he never got angry.

Then the floor is now iron.

He made up his mind and began to write again.

mother. The woman in the house I live in says she respects her mother very much.

I was surprised when he even said that he was an idol.

I decided to put the matter related to Yoris to rest.

But since I’m not using that job, I don’t have anything to write in the letter.

I sat down to write a letter, but I couldn’t bite it, so I had no choice but to fill it with the story of Audrit.

He said his dream is to trade with our kingdom. Watching from the side, it seemed like he was really sincere. He is a nice and nice person. And we even danced together a while ago…

Eventually, Maru put down the pen.

He picked up the envelope on the desk and carefully folded the letter.

I looked at Oliver, who had been absorbed in his work until then.

“The scribe.”

“Yes, four!”

I stood up and handed him a letter.

“I’m going to the dinner hall to look for the prince, so send this instead.”

“All right!”

“now.”

“four!”

Oliver took the letter with both hands and immediately left the office.

Maru tilted his head after the door closed.

“Are you showing off being a princess? don’t you know? yeah you wouldn’t know Dunno. Why did you just say that a nobleman was a woman?”

He thought nothing of it and put on the coat he had hung on the hanger.

Some time later, when Oliver arrived at the Kingdom Post Office, he hesitated while handing the letter to the clerk.

“Well? Did you forget the name of the position?”

In the part where the sender of the letter was written, it was written simply as Hanmaru.

“Looks like you forgot. I should write instead. You shouldn’t miss out on a great position that others look up to.”

Oliver borrowed a pen and wrote on the sender’s line.

Basilite Kingdom King’s Flag Guardian Hanmaru

After writing it all, I smiled in satisfaction.

“You have to support this to hear that you are doing well. Anyway come… It’s nice to see it written. I also want to support Her Highness and the Prince like Maru-nim.”

Soon after, he smiled and handed the letter to the staff.

“Take good care of me.”

“Yes, the letter to Helen of the Raiskan Daria Empire has been well received.”
