The Villainess Hides Her Wealth - Chapter 100.1
Chapter 100.1
‘Is it because the weather is cold today?’
Of course, there was no reason for that, so it was probably just my feeling.
Serian and Florence were important to the Yunette business. In other words, they were also necessary for the crown prince.
“You seemed very close from what I saw last time, he even took care of you. I was a little concerned. Though I was uselessly nosy.”
“Ahh… I guess it’s because he’s from a different race. In addition, he was captured as a slave, so I don’t want to give him more reasons to feel hostility towards humans. I don’t want to use my status to oppress him.”
I was a little confused. Why was I talking about Serian when meeting with Crown Prince Enoch?
In any case, I was eagerly responding to what he had said.
“Ah, but don’t get me wrong. I don’t agree with slavery. I reduced the time limit of 100 years to only three in the first place.”
“… Did you do that?”
“I wanted to release him, but he didn’t believe me when I said I would give him a salary later… Even so, I’m thinking of giving him and his brother a bonus soon.”
“Ah…”
Crown Prince Enoch trailed off with an uncharacteristic, strange smile.
“You’re very considerate. I didn’t know you were even thinking about that.”
I also have to work harder as the crown prince. He closed his mouth tightly as he said that.
He acted as if Serian was very interesting, but it was nothing more than small talk.
Since I didn’t seem to be saying much, he must have chosen a topic of conversation that we could talk about comfortably. There was no way that my escort knight was particularly important to the crown prince.
‘His Highness seems to be waiting for me to tell him why I asked him to meet me today.’
It was natural, I had never called or spoken to him outside of work before.
I only said that I didn’t want to get attention by being together for no reason.
‘… While saying that I didn’t want to meet unless it was a secret place where we could be alone.’
I didn’t want to stand out…
‘I told His Highness that it was okay the other day. There is no need to talk about it again. So… I’m telling him something I can only talk about now.’
“I’ll be honest with you. We talked about the antidote, but other than that, I don’t really have anything to say,” I said, after taking a deep breath.
“Sorry?”
“What I mean is I don’t have anything related to our business to talk about today. Hm… Her Highness was worried… She said her brother seems to feel a lot of guilt…”
I wriggled my hands and avoided his gaze.
“So I called you here to take a breather. I mean, I just wanted to see this place with Your Highness.”
“…”
“It’s a good place to meet up anyway… I just wanted to show you this view. It’s where my mom and I used to come.”
It took a lot of courage to say this.
‘What will Prince Enoch think of what I said?’
But even after mustering up the courage, I couldn’t look at his face. I was afraid of what kind of expression he was making.
If he was feeling overwhelmed or uncomfortable… What would I do then?
‘No. I still have to check.’
I liked Crown Prince Enoch.
So, I had to think. I couldn’t help but try as I had never been loved before.
How did he take my words? And what should I do now…
“Achoo!”
But such an attempt was thwarted.
I thought it was chilly from the beginning, but I ended up sneezing.
“Lady, are you cold?”
“Ah…”
There was nothing but a worried expression on his face.
I should have checked how he received my words and what kind of expression he was making.
‘Yuria Primrose, you idiot…’
And the moment I blamed myself, something wrapped around my shoulders.
