Chapter 58 (1/2)

Prince Once Again➅

How should I get out of this place?

I'd hate to dance with him.

He seems to have fairly good facial features, but as a person used to Leon-sama, brother or Allen-kun, I don't find myself attracted to him.

And then, this feeling of looking down on people creates an unpleasant atmosphere.

”… Lillinsama!”

Apparently, his request left me numb as I didn't answer.

Certainly I can't just ignore him.

”I am sorry. It's been a long time since I've been to a party, and it seems I got drunk. I apologize, but I would like you to ask me for a dance on another opportunity.”

Listening to my words, his expression changed.

What's with the look of aiming at his prey.

That's you know, the expression of someone who can't understand the difference of strength.

”Was that so? I apologize I haven't noticed. If you would like, I will show you to a vacant room. Would you like to rest a bit?”

So, he tried to guide me to a room.

… It's really an out.

His face is also disappointing.

”I apologize for troubling you, but I am fine. I will excuse myself now, I must go find my friends.”

I didn't want to see his face anymore, so I quickly bid him farewell and tried to leave.

Then, his barely gentlemanly att.i.tude completely changed.

”… What's with that poor att.i.tude? I applied for marriage because your engagement with prince was broken off and there seemed to be no compet.i.tion, but I was ignored, and now this att.i.tude… Ah, what a bother! Never mind, come here! I'll be your special partner.”

… Are you really a n.o.ble?

I was surprised by the sudden change.

He's trying to forcibly take me to a room because he dislikes my att.i.tude.

All right!  Chance for a legitimate self-defense!

His hand stopped.

Rather, it was stopped.

There's a person standing behind the idiot… Two of them.

”Lillinsama, are you alright!” Allen-kun and Alek-sama

They seemed to have only then noticed each other and were a bit surprised.

By the way, the idiot whose hands were held down by two people was suffering in agony.

I'm certain they're twisted.

”Thank you both of you. However, I think it will be hard for you if you both keep twisting… Isn't it better if you let go?”

”Haha, Lillinsama is so kind. Now what to do with this guy…”

”That's right, Lillinsama is too gentle after all. You can leave this place without a worry. I will hand him over to the unit from chivalric order. I'm sure they'll gently escort him.”
