The Villainess Hides Her Wealth - Chapter 93.1
Chapter 93.1
A knight from the Primrose duchy approached him, hesitantly.
“Excuse me… this doesn’t seem to be a mountain thunderbird but a toxic bird. I know well because I grew up in the woods…”
“Didn’t I just say it was a mountain thunderbird?” Sir Vieira shot fiercely. “Are you doubting me right now?”
“B-but… We’re going to have a barbecue party in a little while. If that is a toxic bird… those who eat it can be poisoned…”
“What’s your name?”
“That’s…”
The knight who was judging his prey flinched, dispirited.
Sir Vieira looked around to see if anyone was listening and whispered in a low voice.
“You can exclude it from the barbecue party.”
“…”
“But if you think about your future, you’d better keep quiet for now. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
Thunderbirds were hard to catch, but toxic birds were fairly common and easy.
Since Sir Vieira was being pushed back by Crown Prince Enoch and the amount of prey he got, the only thing he could bring forward was a rare prey.
“… I understand.”
The moment Sir Vieira expressed his satisfaction, a scream suddenly came behind him.
“Aaah!”
Sir Vieira looked back to see what was going on and froze in place.
“What is that?!”
There was obviously a distance from the forest designated as the hunting grounds and the place where the nobles were waiting.
There were a sufficiently large number of knights. There should be no fire bears suddenly coming here.
But even though there shouldn’t be…!
“Aaah!”
A fire bear suddenly walked in.
Sir Vieira was confused, unable to hold his sword.
“I’m sorry. I must have surprised everyone.”
The fire bear, which they thought was alive and moving, was actually dead. It dropped to the ground. For a moment, the ground seemed to tremble.
Then, Crown Prince Enoch came out from behind it. He was carrying the dead fire bear.
“Wh-what!”
Despite carrying such a huge animal on his back, Enoch didn’t seem to be struggling at all.
“Fire bears live only in mountain caves on high ground. Such a predator of the mountains…”
“It was always mentioned in the fairy tales I read as a child.”
“So it really existed… and what’s with that size?”
After turning the hunting grounds upside down, he went up to the mountain in the duchy of Primrose.
Nevertheless, Enoch looked elegant without showing any signs of hardship.
Even though his surroundings were noisy, Enoch looked only at one person and walked unobstructed.
For a moment, the world seemed to flow slowly.
‘He’s already… special.’
As she waited for Crown Prince Enoch at the hunting contest, Yuria hoped that she would be someone special to him.
Only her, of all these people.
But, before that… the crown prince had already become a special person to Yuria.
She did not want to be seen by anyone except him.
The other people, the noise around her… The look on Jiksen’s face as he looked at her in astonishment, or the look on Lilika’s face.
She would have been curious about it in the past.
But right now, she didn’t want to miss the moment of the crown prince staring at her.
“I dedicate this glory to Lady Yuria Primrose.”
Crown Prince Enoch untied the handkerchief on his forearm.
There was not a single flaw on the white handkerchief. Did he take care because she had given it to him?
… She hoped so.
“Your Highness.”
Crown Prince Enoch’s lips touched Yuria’s hand.
It was just a touch, but somehow, that moment seemed to flow very quickly and very slowly at the same time.
Her already pounding heart started beating violently.
“Thank you.”
Yuria smiled beautifully, not caring about anything.
The eyes of others, the worries of the future…
She forgot everything at that moment.
Then, Crown Prince Enoch froze as he looked at her face.
“…”
There was silence.
The crown prince applied strength to the hand he held without realizing it.
“Your Highness…?”
“Ah.”
He kept holding her hand.
It should have only been a brief contact.
But he thought that it would be a waste for some reason… and unconsciously held her hand, ridiculously small compared to his, for a long time.
“I’m sorry.”
He had to let go… It would be right to let go.
Why did he feel like it was a pity for her body temperature to just reach him briefly?
