Isn't Being A Wicked Woman Much Better?

"I also wanted to give my sister a fox..."

I kept my mouth shut as I watched Enrique, depressed because he was too young to attend the debutante and not qualified to participate in the hunting competition.

He was like a kitten with droopy ears.

"Oh, Enrique is so special. Your heart is enough for this sister."

"Sister..."

While stroking his hair, Enrique hugged me tightly around the waist.

"Does the baby mouse think he can catch foxes? He only eats strawberry sweets at home."

"I'm the best at arrow magic!"

As if he were about to go to a hunting competition, Belreck, dressed in hunting attire, passed by with a smile, and Enrique raised his gaze fiercely.

"Hmm, how did he know that Enrique likes strawberries?"

Thinking that Belreck liked Enrique while pretending not to, I stroked his soft silver hair.

Enrique accompanied me to the carriage with hands as small as a fern, and after a while, the procession of carriages alongside Belreck and Rosad set off for the Imperial Palace.

The hunting competition took place in Lorrain Forest, named after the first emperor.

In a large tent in front of the forest, there was a table for the young ladies who were not going to hunt, and trained hunting dogs to scare away foxes roamed nearby.

After a while, the contestants began to appear one by one on horseback. When Isidor appeared, exclamations erupted everywhere.

Dressed in a long navy hunting coat, his slender figure was more prominent, and his golden bangs were scattered by the wind, giving him a younger impression than usual.

"Duke Visconti is getting more beautiful every day."

"The young ladies who saw him at the incense celebration said it was as if an angel had descended."

"By the way, I understand that he usually doesn't socialize."

"What could be the reason?"

"Perhaps the fact that he is participating in today's hunt is because of Princess Deborah...?"

"Mmm! Your voice is too loud."

"Yes, his voice is loud."

With Isidor's appearance, there were many young ladies looking at me.

And, as if he were opening a gap in the rumor, Isidor, who was next to the Crown Prince, dismounted his black horse and walked towards where I was seated.

"You look very beautiful today, Princess."

He said with a smile.

Seeing me frozen under his gaze, I could hear whispers saying that I was as cold as Seymour.

"Not like that."

"Please wish me luck and blessings so that I can catch many foxes."

"Don't get hurt."

I said sincerely. When I think of the day Isidor's ribs were broken, I feel chills even in my sleep.

"I will follow your orders. My queen."

While playfully pressing his lips against the back of my hand, I could hear sighs and cheers from all around.

Meanwhile, I was embarrassed by the title of Queen.
