Chapter 22
“Sister, how long has it been?”
Avella pretended to know her in a friendly tone She felt the skill of hiding herself even though it was a young age from a happy expression that she could not feel any pretense
‘You’re still like a kid, though’
Elena thought Avella’s behavior was cute It was Avella, who had established an unrivaled faction in society, but was brutally trampled by Elena However, now Avella was nohas it been?”
Elena welco-lost child
“I know You don’t kno much I orried about you”
“Why wouldn’t I know? If Avella was sick, I would be, too”
Elena responded skillfully Since she couldn’t really do that, she returned to say that in the same situation, the same would be true for her
“Can we see each other often now?”
“Yes, of course”
“That’s good! I have a lot of young people I want to introduce to my sister”
Avella turned her body around and see ladies who said they were good at following Veronica
‘Childish’
Elena snorted at Avella’s child-like boast
“Really? I’ forward to it”
“Me, too So, are you going back to the academy?”
Elena paused for a est acade history and high educational standards as a place where any child of the Idoraduate
It was also the place where the connections leading the empire were completed, and royal faraduation from academic institutes as a syh that the Lun Acadedom of Royer could hardly be comparable
‘Leabrick, you’re about to step up, aren’t you?’
Elena hesitated and waited for Leabrick to answer
“Your Highness is scheduled to return to the Acadehtly slapped her back and laughed
“Really? I’m happy Then, sister, we can see you often at the academy”
“Is that so?”
It was tiless conversation in a perfunctory manner
“Oh! What is it!”
The rear of the group led by Avella became noisy Naturally, the eyes were turned to that side Aon top of the heads of the lonely young et rid of that ugly face?”
Ren teased the girl with a quarrel and cairl The lady, who couldn’t stand his rudeness, stared at hi about Ren’s fierce s so much fun with me Disappointed”
When Ren intervened, Avella’s face hardened That’s because she’s never seen anything good in association with a fool who doesn’t have co”
Avella stepped back in a hurry She’s not avoiding him because she’s scared of shi+t, but because it’s dirty Leabrick was also seen nervous, stiffening her face The most difficult class for her as a sche can be o If Elena showed a cluttered appearance, she could have been suspected in her place Leabrick tried to stop the worst
“What, do you hate one, and turned his eyes away
“You’re not going to be hard on your brother, are you?”
‘Whatever’
Elena’s anshich could not be uttered, contained a positive answer, not a negative one
‘I waited for you to colad to see Ren who burst in Just as if it was a lie when they exchanged sharp conversations earlier
‘Come to think of it, there are tilanced at Leabrick Elena was planning to use Ren to take off the Leabrick that was stuck like a leech
“… I don’t think I should turn a blind eye to you”
“Yes, we should be a bit more friendly since we’re cousins”
Despite the chilly atmosphere, Ren looked excited
“So, I’ve been thinking about it a lot How I can get over the line”
“I’m curious Try it”
Elena skillfully asked back with her eyes wide open Ren’s gru Did he feel uneasy with that smile? Before Ren took any unexpected action, Leabrick moved first
“Excuse me, but for a while…”
“It’s not your place It’s a fa a violent warning The lack of respect for a lady was a very ignorant and vile act
“Let’s dance to a song”
“What, what?”
Elena pretended to be embarrassed and looked to Leabrick for help But it was too late to stop Ren’s sudden behavior Elena caed away by Ren It was a half-forceful and half-self-interested act
The nobles were quite angry at Ren’s rude behavior
“W-what the hell is this!”
“The Bastache fa lord is awful”
“Do they want the princess to live like that?”
All together, they criticized Ren However, no one cah they were independent, the Bastache family’s roots were the Grand Duke Friedrich’s It was not easy to come out because the relationshi+p between the two families was connected by blood
Ren, who reached the center of the hall, let go When Elena glared, sesture
“I’ Let’s dance to one song”
“…”
“Of course, you can’t refuse”
Elena gazed slowly at Len, who never lost his playfulness It was the saht it was very different from my past life At that tiht as a substitute, so she was forced to do as she was told
One, things have changed Elena seeed out, but she walked out of her own free will She led the ga swayed by Ren or Leabrick
“If I don’t want to?”
“I’ll have to force you to dance”
“What?”
Ren quickly snatched Elena’s hand, which had been freed for a while The poas so strong that she tried to shake it off several times, but it was useless
‘It hurts’
Elena frowned at the surging pain Either way, Ren held Elena’s hand tightly in one hand, while the other wrapped her waist tightly and stepped with a waltz It becaardless of Elena’s will, like a doll caught in a thread
“Why are you doing this nonsense?”
Elena quizzed at the sound of Ren’s breath, which felt close to her
“Because you’re Veronica”
“That’s the reason?”
“I need a better reason?”
“…”
Elena was convinced by Ren’s unique smile
