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

37 – Second kiss (2) and Natalie

“I should have told you earlier.”

Maru swept the nape of his neck as if embarrassed.

“actually… I came to see Your Highness in the morning.”

“What about? Is it serious?”

“Your Highness, I told you that I would leave the kingdom the day after tomorrow.”

“!?”

Audrit stared at me for a long time with surprised eyes and then asked.

“… Why are you leaving?”

“I know the princess will accept an arranged marriage. I’m afraid I’ll get in the way.”

“dummy!”

she frowned.

“Go quickly and tell Her Highness that I am not leaving! Quickly!”

However, Maru shook his head with a confused expression.

“I can’t cancel it because I sent a letter promising accommodation contracts and various schedules to people in the next destination. If I break my promise, they will think of me as an extremely light person. You will never be able to do business with them again.”

Audrit felt the words coming out of his mouth like a dagger.

It felt like my heart was about to collapse.

I looked at him with pleading eyes.

“Don’t go anyway. I was stupid. I didn’t mean to confuse you. Yeah? please.”

“… … ”

When Maru looked up at the ceiling without answering and sighed, she burst into tears.

“Answer that you are not leaving!”

“Sorry. Once you’ve said it, you have to leave.”

“What am I? Do you not care about me?”

“ha… If I knew the princess would choose me, I wouldn’t… It is difficult to change plans now.”

“I was wrong! I was wrong!”

Audrey cried out loud.

He cried and grabbed his arm and shook it.

“Send a letter saying you’re not leaving soon! Send it quickly!”

“There is no use using a herd. No.”

“why! why not! Write a letter saying you can’t go soon!”

She screamed and kept begging.

He reproached Maru for making such a hasty choice and regretted what he had done.

“Don’t leave because I won’t play that kind of joke again. please please Sobbing… ”

“ah!”

Maru suddenly clapped his hands as if something came to mind.

“I thought of a good way for me not to leave!”

“How can I do it?”

“Tomorrow morning, you and I will have a meal together!”

“Yes… ?”

She looked up blankly, who had been weeping profusely.

Eyes that suddenly say something.

“What do you mean?”

“I don’t know? I played a little too.”

“I don’t understand because I’m excited, but you mean you’re not leaving anyway?”

“yes. It’s a lie to say you’re leaving, so don’t worry.”

Maru smiled brightly.

“You really… !”

Audrit furrowed her brow, jumped up, and punched him in the shoulder.

“That’s naughty! bad!”

She was relieved, but resentful of him.

He was punching his fist while shedding tears.

“I even thought about whether I should follow you to where you are going! Never make fun of people again! I really believed! Hehehehe! Liar! Kkondae! Braid! Sobbing… !”

“I won’t, I won’t. stop hitting me Ouch!”

“I know it doesn’t hurt anyway!”

“The princess’s fist is like a sledgehammer. Ouch!”

“Um-sal-eun!”

There was an uproar like that, and then it was quiet.

After that, Audrey sat down on the bed with a calm expression, and Maru sat next to her, holding her hand and touching the back of her hand affectionately.

“Have you calmed down?”

“I don’t know. huh.”

Maru smiled at her quietly whimpering and then spoke seriously.

“That fact… There is one thing I haven’t told you yet. It’s something other than what happened at the warrior’s party.”

Maru intended to confess the truth that he was the crown prince of the empire.

But Audrit flinched and rolled her eyes.

“Don’t even dream of playing pranks. I will be really angry.”

“Listen first. It’s important.”

“Are you making it up in your head?”

“no. I will tell you the truth. my real past. It’s a secret that I never told Lucy, my fellow warrior party member, much less Kiera, my ex-girlfriend. I just want to reveal it to you.”

“If you listen and cheat again, I will leave. If you are confident, tell me.”

“I’m actually… He is the son of Queen Alexandria. The queen is my mother.”

“what?”

When Maru confessed seriously, Odrit stared blankly and burst into laughter.

“Ahahaha! This one is absurd, so it’s kind of funny! ha ha ha!”

Maru blinked his eyes.

“It’s true.”

“Did you feel any sense of entitlement toward the people in the portraits sent by the Empire? ha ha ha. Are you afraid I’ll be fooled because they’re so good? Don’t worry. because i like you better I will love you even if you are a beggar.”

“No, it’s real.”

“stop.”

Audrey said firmly and thumped him on the knee.

“Let’s talk about something other than that. You haven’t said anything yet.”

“What do you mean?”

“Are you doing this on purpose?”

“I’m really sorry I don’t know.”

“I only confessed.”

She slowly rubbed her cheek with the back of her hand as if embarrassed.

“Before and now. You keep saying that you only like me, that you love me… ”

“ah… ”

Maru stared at the hand she was holding with a hearty smile.

Her hands were very white and pretty.

His fingernails were moderately long and shiny, as if they had been painted with something transparent.

He opened his mouth while caressing his fingernails.

“You know what? Because of the princess, I became a liar. After I broke up with Keira, I swore I would never fall in love again, but after knowing you, that vow was broken.”

“Are you the type to fall in love quickly?”

“I was never like that, but you made me that way.”

“Is it my fault?”

“yes. You are very pretty.”

Maru’s face slowly approached her face.

They stopped at a distance where their lips could barely touch.

“When you find the most beautiful woman in the world, speed is the key. I don’t know if I’m slow and lose it to someone else. Keep in mind. that your man is me From now on, don’t look at anyone else. As crown prince, this is an order.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he kissed her.

‘It’s like that again even though I’m not the crown prince.’

Audrey immediately had that thought, but she couldn’t think of anything else.

When Maru’s tongue unilaterally squeezed his lips, Odrit welcomed his attack.

She closed her eyes and wrapped her arms around his neck, feeling the pounding of her heart.

The two tongues intertwined in a dizzying manner between the lips that were colliding and then falling.

Soon after, the two climbed onto the bed.

Since both of them were in full bloom, a kiss was not enough.

After Maru laid Audrit down, he pushed it up vigorously.

***

Basilite Kingdom.

Forest near the border.

An arrow that flew quickly from somewhere pierced the deer’s body.

The herd of deer quickly ran away, and the deer hit by the arrow trembled and died.

“I’m sick of venison too.”

Natalie grumbled and picked up the dead deer.

I carried it on my shoulder and walked towards the campfire.

After peeling the back skin of the deer in front of the fire, only the most delicious parts attached to the flesh of the back were cut.

It is a part that comes out about 300g per head, and the texture is soft and chewy, so it was the most delicious when grilled over a campfire.

The rest of the meat was tasteless so I threw it away.

The pieces that were easy to eat were put on iron skewers one by one and placed on a bonfire.

While I was staring blankly at the complaints while they were ripening, wolves howled around me.

It seems that they smelled it and flocked to it.

Natalie threw a rock into the distance.

“Before you kill everything, chews!”

The forest soon fell silent as her angry voice echoed.

Even beasts recognize strong men, she laughed contentedly.

The laughter quickly faded.

“Whoa… ”

A heavy sigh escaped involuntarily.

It’s been about 2 weeks since I traveled alone.

I couldn’t sleep well and couldn’t eat properly because I was camping every day, so I lived with fatigue all the time.

If she had money, she would have hired a servant, but she was very wasteful and had no wealth.

She easily spent money on a house for a night of drinking, and her favorite food, Paradise Herb, was quite expensive.

He often went in and out of Changgwan, where only male prostitutes were.

I bought a lot of presents for the men I met there to brag about it.

Also, the warrior equipment was very expensive, so a large sum of money went out every time one armor was changed.

So, there was no time to collect money.

“Damn it, when Maru was there, I ate and slept well even if I just went camping.”

It was lately realizing Maru’s hard work these days.

I know how much effort he has put in to keep his teammates in top condition every day for the past 3 years, and how much he sweats to prepare.

Staying vigil, cooking and washing clothes, carrying luggage, setting up a campsite, I looked at these things very funny, but for some reason, it was more difficult than fighting.

There were too many small things to take care of.

It wastes a lot of time unnecessarily.

There was not enough time to rest and recover one’s stamina.

It was really fucked up.

It was so hard to take care of myself, but Maru took care of four more people.

Nevertheless, Maru did not show a hard expression once.

I admired him again.

I’m so sorry that I didn’t say a word about the hardships we spent together.

“I was a stupid bitch… ”

Natalie, who recalled the floor, was filled with emotions.

He held his chest and inhaled deeply, exhaling.

I only found out after he left.

That Maru was the only one who truly recognized him.

‘Natalie. You now look like faded armor stained with filth, not shining armor. It wasn’t like that before.’

‘It’s alcohol and chicken. I brought it because I thought it would be boring.’

‘I brought it as a thank you for standing at the head of the party and protecting it for the past few years.’

‘It was best to put you in prison to stop your poisoning with Paradiseweed. This was the only way to protect you.’

Maru’s warm words made me burst into tears.

“Hey! fuck… ! I’m sorry… ! I’m sorry for what I said to you. ! Hehehe!”

Natalie squeezed her chest and wept bitterly.

The female warrior who was once fierce as a beast and hard as steel has become a girl’s sensibility these days.

My self-esteem was very low because of the shock and betrayal I received from Kiera not long ago.

‘Natalie. Your new co-workers seem to be a burden to you. I’m sorry, but I’d like you to leave the party.’
