C69-C70

Looking out the window, I could see a long queue of carriages from the gate.

'It's been a long time no see.'

Since I was conscious of my past life, I haven't come near the palace at all, so it's been almost six months. Although it won a building full of bad memories, the palace was very grand and beautiful, just like the Imperial Emperor's residence.

'When I was a kid, I wanted to live here, and I was immature.'

I glanced at my father and turned my eyes out of the window.

'I've given up on that idea since I was rejected after visiting my father.'

Come to think of it, if you want to live here, you're either a crown prince's mercy or a maid of honor, both of which are crazy ideas.

'I'm glad I gave up early.'

I thought so for a moment, but it suddenly occurred to me that it was the Princess who was in charge of this banquet.

'Will the princess attend the banquet today?'

'No, it's highly likely that you won't attend today's banquet. It's the coming-of-age ceremony of the princess in two weeks.'

The one-time one-time celebration in society is considered very important. So many aristocrats thought about how to stand out that day. Such an important event will be held in two weeks. There was no reason to attend the banquet of a half-brother who had a bad relationship with the princess, who had never shown her face to an official stone statue so far.

'Then I'll see the princess in two weeks, so it'll be okay.'

The princess was also a person I wanted to avoid so much, but now I didn't think much about it. Unless I make a fuss, there will be no collision with the princess.

'The problem is the Crown Prince.'

The nobles with titles are obliged to go, so the banquet hall must be crowded. But while trying to get out of the confusion, it was hard to get out of my father's sight.

'We have to make room somehow.'

It was when I was thinking about how to get out of the banquet hall today.

"Don't worry too much." My father's voice sounded warm. I stared at him in amazement.

'What else is he trying to say?'

My father said with a wonderful smile in his mouth when he was in the midst of the ominousness.

"You'll be the only one in the eyes of the Crown Prince." I was sure he'd say something about the Crown Prince. But I didn't know how to rub my snobbish innermost thoughts like that's how I felt.

"You're so mean, aren't you? I have a very tender lover!'

Even though it's a contractual relationship, my father thinks he and I are really dating. However, it was uncomfortable to mention the crown prince. I couldn't stand it and said...

"I don't think so. A lot of people must have dressed up to be in the eyes of a new hero." Although I said it in a roundabout way, it was a denial of his meaning, saying that I should be in the eyes of the Crown Prince. Perhaps embarrassed by my unexpected resistance, my father stared at me with surprised eyes. But the gaze gradually froze.

'Are you angry?'

Now I thought, 'Oh no, I didn't want to push my father today.'

'Yes, I can't help it. If I make a mistake, my life will be closed. Let's think about the future later.'
