The Lady Is A Stalker

He was trying to imply that Celebi"s intention was to hurt him in order to put herself in prison. Whether she knew it or not, Celebi avoided his trick. Raven felt overwhelmed after remembering her previous deeds. He chewed on his red lips until they were pale.

"Don"t think that I have forgotten that you tried to have my child by slipping something into my meal and sneaking into my palace like a burglar at dawn. That happened barely a month ago."

When she heard that, Celebi muttered to herself in shock. She put her hand on her forehead with a frustrated face. "No… what the h.e.l.l did you do to the Prince… you have no pride…"

The actual story behind what happened and its hidden facts were revealed in the cafeteria.

Celebi, she was willing to do a lot more for her goals than I thought she would. How am I going to fix this? It"s perfectly reasonable for the Prince to doubt me. No, I"m just glad he wasn"t traumatized from eating food after what happened.

How has Celebi not faced jail time yet? I face palmed and could barely lift my head.

Yet my antagonist is shooting lasers out of his eyes. He seems angry, but not because of what happened in the past.

"… For a while, I forgot what happened."

"What? You really forgot about it! Ah yes, what am I supposed to expect from you?" The Prince spoke while jerking his head to the side with an annoyed face.

Actually while I was preparing the food I held some expectations like , "I hope I can get along with the Prince with this." But the reason for the Prince to dislike me is so clear. Perhaps the Prince would never change his mind because of what happened in the past. Celebi"s obsession towards the Prince went beyond normal, and the Prince"s dislike for her was more rooted than I thought. Not to mention no one would want to be friends with someone who threatened other woman 365 days of the year!

Anyway, pus.h.i.+ng him to eat would just make him hate me even more. I should just let it go right? But even if I say that… I can"t help but feel bad.

I let out a heavy sigh, pulled a chair and sat down. "Well, I"ll eat…"

"What?"

I don"t care if the Prince will eat or won"t eat my food, but it would be a waste of all the ingredients I used to make it.

The spoon I lifted made a loud clang.

Well, well.

Unlike the Prince and the soldiers, I don"t feel embarra.s.sed or uncomfortable with my appearance or situation. The cafeteria was filled with the sound of me eating.

Crunch crunch.

Crunch crunch.

Although I was concentrating on the food in front of me, my taste buds seem to have dulled…

Gulp.

I heard someone swallow their saliva. The sound was so loud because of how quiet the room is.

I didn"t miss this opportunity. "If you"re hungry, you can eat."

Naturally, not one person moved.

I tried to concentrate on my food again but the Prince growled out in a bitter tone, "Who would eat anything you make? Who can eat comfortably without knowing what you put in it? I don"t know what you"re planning, but there is no one here who doesn"t know the evil things you"ve done."

Oh boy, what am I doing?

"He has a lot of suspicions." This was something the Prince had to go through to deal with his emotional distress so I couldn"t help it.

I ate a baguette with a loud crunch. "… If I have poisoned the food, I would not be eating like this. Besides, what reason would I have to poison my boss and his men?"

As a n.o.ble, aside from the Prince, his men"s heads could fly from that accusation.

That is if the Prince doesn"t intervene.

But pointing this out would only prove that the rumors about my villainous personality are true, so I swallowed my comment. "Even so, do you think I would feed your precious people with my poisoned food?"

"…"

I dropped the baguette I was eating and looked around. Everyone was sweaty and dirty. Obviously they"ve been doing a lot of training.

I sighed and said, "…Although I am unfamiliar with tactics and the theory of law, I dare to speak up to you, Your Highness, the Commander-in-Chief of the great Distinian army…"

"…" The Prince crossed his arms and stared at me to wait for whatever I had to stay.

I am going to tear down his feather-light logic.

The Prince"s malice-filled gaze was too burdensome, so I concentrated my gaze on my leftovers.

"…I think the most important thing for a ruler is a mind that thinks about his men."

After hearing that, the Prince spoke to me in a fierce voice that sounded barely above a whisper. "I care about my men more than anything else. If this is some sort of jokeㅡ."

"Obviously I heard that the military training for the soldiers serving under Your Highness in the Distinian army is 10 times harsher than the general soldiers."

"…"

Upon saying that, the Prince looked at me lividly. With his quick thinking, he already knows what I wanted to say without another word. It seems like he wants to slice my neck right about now. The bloodl.u.s.t from humanity"s first dragon slayer is powerful and my body felt like I was in a thick pool of mud. I could barely breathe, but I continued on.

"And I know that the soldiers still have a lot of afternoon training. Tonight"s training is infamous for being harsh. I also heard that the training at dawn will have the soldiers starve. If the soldiers don"t eat, they will collapse."

I couldn"t stand meeting his gaze anymore and was forced to look elsewhere. I tried to speak sounding at ease, but I couldn"t keep my voice from shaking.

"Even if you want to prepare food now, I have already used up all the ingredients for today. And if you decide to go to a restaurant outside the palace, it will take quite a while to prepare meals for an army of this size."

As soon as I finished, the Prince spoke with chilling anger, "Ha, I know this is another one of your lies. Are you trying to intimidate me with just that? In exchange for this, you"re going to ask me for something to satisfy your perverted desires. You"re so obvious."

My body went rigid at the Prince"s fierce words. My perverted desire? What the h.e.l.l did you ask the Prince, Celebi…

I don"t know for sure, but I feel like I stepped on a land mine known as the Prince"s trauma. No, to be precise, any keywords between him and Celebi were land mines.

Are you kidding me? No… no way! Please listen to the person in front of you now, Your Highness. I don"t have any sort of perverted desires for you. I"m not the type of person who thinks about s.e.x¹ all the time. Please don"t ignore² me.

Those words barely escaped my mouth, but I was able to swallow it down. If he heard it, the Prince will be humiliated and my head will be flying before I reach the end of the novel.

I said with utmost reproach, "No, that is false. I will never dare threaten Your Highness or your men. They are my sincere colleagues."

"Colleagues? This time you"re insulting them." The Prince seemed to be so disgusted that I had to hurry and say whatever I had to say.

But I couldn"t speak.

After meeting the Prince"s eyes, I woke up from my stupor and said, "…I will tell you this now. It does not matter if Your Highness hates me and continues to hate me, but there is no reason to let your men suffer because of your personal feelings. I have excluded my feelings for Your Highness and I have done my job as a soldier of Distin, that is all. If you are a person standing above others, should you not be calmer than anyone else? It is the person on top, not the subordinates, that cause damage emotionally. I may not know much as a lady, but should the future king of our country act like this?"

I didn"t intend to talk so intensely, but as I talked my breath gradually became heavier. I sat down and picked up a fork.

"If you think I"m wrong, I would not mind that you put me in jail for contempt against the royal family."

My stomach was already full, but I pushed a pancake into my mouth.

Like what I"m doing?
