"... the princess?"
She, who had always paid attention to her conduct to be the model of the nobility, came toward the garden of Asher with a shocked face. Her hurried steps seemed to represent her condition. Coming out into the garden with an incredible face, she said, omitting her greetings toward Asher,
"I just wanted to see who else was possessed by the bad girl as she came out with a blushing face... I never dreamed that Your Highness would be here."
In the harsh and frivolous words of the noble lady to emerge from her mouth, Asher frowned. Isis's eyes turned toward the garden where Asher had come out. It was because the woman's footprints were stamped around him.
"How could Your Highness do this?"
It was Asher who was embarrassed in her words that condemned him. It was questionable whether she had been deranged by the power of the Aristocratic Party.
"I don't understand the reason that the princess is going to hurt."
"If Your Highness causes a scandal with 'the woman'... and of course it will ruin my fame!"
She raised her voice as if she couldn't really beat the shame. She looked as if she were unpleasantly in a fever of excitement. It seemed insane not to hesitate in harsh language. It was because the people around her were taken away not once, but twice by the woman of no value. Asher spouted a fake smile on his face.
"Really? I don't know why my relationship with a woman is so bad for your fame."
"Are you going to pretend you don't know? Don't tell me you're going to take her as a concubine? Do you think it's possible, don't you?"
Asher smiled sarcastically to her who was saying as if he needed her permission. 'Do you know where your position is and what you are talking about?'
"I'm worried if the princess is delusional."
"... Your, Your Highness? What are you...?"
When he uttered the same level of vulgar language, the princess was embarrassed and narrowed her eyebrows. She was so excited that she forgot what she had said herself, that she seemed shocked as if she had never known that he would say it.
The shock doubled because he had let the Aristocratic party run wild. She didn't know that it was a beast of prey for the moment.
"Why do I need such permission?"
"Well, that's it. You're the one who's going to be engaged to me...!"
"Oh, you're under a great illusion. It's very sad."
"Your Highness...!"
It was true that words about their engagement had gone by, but it had not been established. It was just a claim from the Aristocratic Party that had maintained its ascendancy all along the way.
But their existence was no longer a great threat because now he was able to build up his power and disrupt the Aristocratic Party. If he built a school here and even absorbed the investor group, he would be able to build a huge force merged over identity and age.
Of course, there was no big problem even if it didn't. The reason for reaching out to the meeting was to create a backdrop where no gossip would dare come up, no matter which woman he would choose as the wife of the Crown Prince. And the woman wasn't the pervading villain in front of him.
