Trash of the Royal Family (Ao3)

XXV

What is the first and most important rule that Robbit should never break? He must avoid becoming nothing more than a friend. That's Callen 1.01 number one tactic!

"Baby, you know what?" Cale Henituse said calmly as he rode the horse, "this story is messed up from the beginning."

"We'll just throw all the gags here, mommy!" laughs Callen, and they soon arrive at the Siera Household's Villa.

They can see Robbit, who is in a state of panic, and Alver Crossman, who is about to board his carriage.

"Hyung-nim!" Robbit jumped off his horse and grabbed Alver's shoulder.

Alver's expression was befuddled. His attention shifted from Robbit to Cale and Callen, who was hiding behind the tree.

"She's inside..." smirked Alver Crossman, "Better hurry... they're about to leave."

Robbit nodded and thanked Alver before rushing away.

The first prince looked at them and crossed his arms, saying, "Was that enough, Baby?"

"The best Hyunnie! Time to follow brother Ribbit!" The toddler runs away, with Cale following from behind. Alver also followed, with Choi Han tailing them from behind.

"Isn't it tiring, Your Highness?" Choi Han asked.

"I just need to get used to it," Alver replied, laughing it out.

Callen devised this farce with the help of two counts from the north, a ten-year-old and himself.

"Baby, what should I expect?"

"an embarrassing confession! For brother Ribbit's 11th time getting dumped!" What a vicious toddler.

Alver was looking forward to it. Count Henituse and Count Sierra are having a small tea party in this villa right now. The Sierra won't be leaving the capital for a few more days, but it seems like Robbit lost some information on the Sierra household. Callen must've ordered Ron and Eruhaben-nim to meddle with it. He smiled. What a terrifying toddler.

[***]

Iris was sitting near the fountain. Her brother approached her and asked if she wanted to be knighted. She'd be free of marriage proposals if she became a knight, but Robbit had been making advances on her.

She can't ignore that.

"Lady Iris," a young noble approached her. He offered her a drink, but she declined.

Some attempted to woo her. After all, the mining ore was a jackpot that everyone would want to control.

She heard them say that they were unlike the Royal Family or the Third Prince. If they're different, they should've just ignored her and not made any moves on her.

Ignoring this bastard, she decided to go back to the tea party when the man grabbed her. Unlike the royals, this jerk!

She was about to kick this jerk where it hurt the most when someone grabbed her back and kicked the young noble on the ground.

Robbit's familiar back came into her vision. He was standing tall and proud with a huge scowl on his face. He was still holding her hand without the intention of letting go.

"I don't want to see you around her anymore." Robbit's warning sounded dangerous even to her.

Soon, Robbit dragged her away. He looked tense and in a state of panic. He looked impatient too.

She silently followed him, but they ended up right next to the party venue on the path walk.

Robbit drew her in close and forced her to look at him.
