The Villainess Hides Her Wealth - Chapter 95.1

Chapter 95.1

At that moment, a strong wind blew and the branches of the forest shook. I squinted my eyes slightly at the sunlight shining through the shade.

“…”

But I wasn’t speechless simply because I couldn’t look ahead.

I had heard rumors. Until now, I heard he would cut it off like a knife if he had anything to do with any young lady.

But Crown Prince Enoch had never shown himself like that to me. He treated me in a special way. Only me.

A small excitement started rising from the tip of my toes and enveloped me.

“Didn’t the Lady say so the last time? If I got involved with someone who had a bad reputation, I would be harmed too. I didn’t say anything because I was worried it was going to be a burden, but honestly, I don’t agree. It’s the same now as it was before.”

“Your Highness…”

“You are a better person than you think.”

Crown Prince Enoch’s upright gaze reached me.

“I don’t know anyone else… but I know the good things about you.”

The hunting competition; I thought it was an event that had nothing to do with me. I thought it would be a headache, noisy and fastidious.

But those annoying things didn’t affect me in any way. The only thing that filled my head was the thought that the air at this moment was sweet.

‘I didn’t know a day would come when I would like the hunting competition.’

I thought the competition hosted by the Primrose duchy would flow regardless of me, but Crown Prince Enoch made me the protagonist of the day.

‘As expected…’

I felt like I had to acknowledge my feelings now.

I was grateful for this person.

‘No, it’s not just being grateful.’

Though every moment a person acknowledges love is different, being simply a person grateful for him, a person who respects him, a person who has a lot to learn from him… I didn’t want to express myself only with such an adjective.

‘There are not only one or two people I’m grateful for. And there will be more people to respect, and more people to learn from.’

However, there would be only one person like Crown Prince Enoch.

Until now, and in the future.

‘There’s only one in the world.’

I couldn’t help but like him.

Someone who makes me, a coward, not want to run away.

I had a strong feeling that perhaps I would never forget this day.

***

As was the tradition of hunting competitions, the barbecue party began.

Various meats were cooked over the sizzling fire. Most of the meat was prey captured by the crown prince.

“Is there anything you want to eat? I’ll bring it to you.”

Crown Prince Enoch sat down next to Yuria.

He was trying to prevent Sir Vieira from saying anything.

“Oh my… Look at His Highness and Lady Primrose.”

“He hasn’t left her side since they went somewhere earlier.”

They weren’t saying anything despite being sitting together, but for the others, it was nice to see them acting shy while a strange atmosphere flowed between them.

“Gosh…”

Princess Vivian, who was sitting next to Yuria, also wriggled her mouth.

‘I never thought I’d see my brother make such an expression in my entire life. Though I did notice that it was a little strange from the first time he introduced her to me…’

Regardless, her brother had feelings for Yuria. At least that was certain.

She also thought he had once asked about Yuria when he was a child, though it wasn’t a clear memory.

‘If my guess is correct, his ‘first love’ would also be Lady Yuria.’

Princess Vivian didn’t know how he fell in love with Yuria years ago, or how he fell again now.

Or when he got so emotional.

‘Did he fall in love with her when they started the business together?’

The others seemed to be puzzled by the sudden appearance of the two, but she knew.

She knew that Yuria Primrose was the representative of Yunette, the current topic of conversation in the social world.

Did his heart move again after seeing each other so often?

‘I told her she should go into business at first because I thought it was a waste for me to be the only one to experience the cosmetics. But I didn’t expect this to be the result.’

The invitation to do business together came back as a snowball.

A really big one at that.

“Cough.”

At least right now, it was like that.

The barbecue was grilling deliciously, but there was a lot of smoke emanating from it. Yuria frowned because of that, and the crown prince extended his long hand, flicking his fingers.

“Huh?”

Swoosh—

A strong wind rushed in the still air.

Thanks to this, all the smoke directed towards Yuria flew into the sky.

“Wow!”

Even though the man who cast the magic didn’t say anything, everyone looked at Crown Prince Enoch at the same time and exclaimed.

Everyone knew he was the only one who could use magic so casually in this place.
