"The reason I came to see you today is partly because of the macarons, but the bigger reason is because you wanted to learn swordsmanship. I didn't tell you properly back then, did I?"
"Oh, right."
"Why do you suddenly want to learn swordsmanship? You refused last time, saying you didn't want to learn it. You said it would hurt your hands or something."
Haha...is that so..?
"My thoughts... have changed...! I think it's better to learn."
"See, am I right?"
"Yeah.. haha"
I had no idea what Jeon Jungkook was talking about, but I answered as if I knew. Then I picked up the macaron in front of me and put it in my mouth.
crazy...
"So delicious..."
"What...taste...?"
"Huh? No, no."
Oh, this damn mouth!!!
"I'll tell the Archduke."
"It must be the Grand Duke..^^"
"Have you ever seen me be polite even in times like this?"
" no;; "
"ㅋㅋㅋ I'll be back soon, so let's start right then. Should I prepare clothes and a sword?"
"Yeah, yeah"
After putting two macarons in my mouth at once... I answered in a slurred tone.
"What are you doing?"
Sea felt embarrassed and quickly chewed and swallowed the macaron.
"Ugh, ugh! That's because I ate two margarons at once?! "
"ㅋㅋㅋWhy did you eat all of that at once? No one took it from you. How is it the same now as when you were little..."
" do you want to die...? "
" no...? "
I had a long and rambling conversation with Jeon Jungkook. I obviously didn't know much about him other than what I'd read in novels, but it was really comfortable and enjoyable, like we were childhood friends.
"Oh, I didn't realize how fast time was passing."" ..... "
Jeongguk stared at Yeoju.
"...? What's wrong? Is there something on your face?"
"It just feels like it's been a long time since I've seen you like you used to."
" ...? "
I used to laugh so often...
"It's late, do I have to go?"
"Ah... I have to go."
"Take care."
"Oh, right! Take this."
What Jungkook handed Se-ah was a splendid invitation. An invitation from the royal family.
"If all goes well, I'll meet you at the palace."
"Ah... I see."
"See you at the palace."
"Yeah, thank you for today."
Jeongguk smiled and left the garden.
"You got an invitation from the royal family?"
"Yes, I will go to the palace tomorrow."
At dinner, I could have talked to the Grand Duke separately, but I wanted to talk in a place where Kim Yeo-ju could hear and see, so I attended dinner. But why is Kim Yeo-ju's expression so bright;;?
"That's good timing. We're going to the palace tomorrow, so I think we can go together."
" ah... "
Somehow, Kim Yeo-ju's expression didn't distort, but rather looked happy, so I wondered if she was crazy... She's going to the palace? As expected of a female protagonist, she's a female protagonist. It seems she's going to meet the male protagonist somehow.
It's not fun;;
"Isn't it necessary for you to go with us?"
Who knows who would want to go together;;
"I don't like it either..."
Sea suddenly shut her mouth. Then she wondered how Kim Taehyung would react if she showed a different side of herself, one that wasn't just strong and unyielding.
" ...Do you really not want to go with me that much?"
"Is that what you call talking? LOL?"
"...Okay. Let's just go separately tomorrow."
Taehyung looked at Sea with a slightly bewildered expression. And of course, everyone else at the table.
"First... I'll go up. I don't think you'll like being here with me."
Sea stood up and left without even looking back. Kim Taehyung felt strangely uneasy at Sea's reaction, which was completely different from what he had expected, and his brow furrowed. Kim Seokjin also looked flustered and stared at Sea until she disappeared. Kim Namjoon was momentarily flustered, but then he became concerned about Sea's departure. Kim Yeoju frowned, wondering what kind of trick she was trying to pull.
"Let's...keep eating...haha"
The next day
"Huh... Is there no response?"
I expected a different reaction, but now that the next day has arrived and nothing has happened, it seems like he doesn't care about me at all.
"I'll ride the carriage comfortably alone~"
Sea is preparing to go to the palace.
After finishing, I went out to ride the carriage.
When they went outside, the carriage they were going to ride was still there, as if it hadn't left yet.
what?
I stood there blankly, waiting for the carriage I was to ride. Then,
"What are you doing?"
"Wow!!"
I was startled by a voice suddenly heard from behind me.
"What kind of bird..."
Why are you coming out of there...?
I stepped aside, wondering if he was just getting on the carriage. But I just tilted my head at Kim Taehyung, who was still standing there.
"Don't ride..."
" get on. "
" ...? "
"Take the carriage."
My face crumpled as I wondered what the hell he was talking about.
Kim Taehyung walked towards the carriage door, opened it, and extended his hand towards me.
What the fuck...? You want me to hold your hand and ride that carriage right now...? Why????
I couldn't afford to lose any more time, so I reluctantly grabbed Kim Taehyung's hand and got on the carriage.
As soon as I got on, Kim Taehyung, who had been reluctant to sit next to me, naturally sat down next to me.
Did this kid eat something wrong...?
I wondered if she was saying this because I reacted that way yesterday, but something felt off. It felt like she was forcing it, but then it wasn't...
I don't know what's going on, but it seems like it's going to be easy to go to the palace, and Kim Yeo-ju's expression was rotten, as if she was flustered by Kim Tae-hyung's sudden actions.
I endured the silence and arrived at the palace. I got out of the carriage, showed the invitation, and someone appeared offering to show me the way. Just as I was about to join them,
"Se-ah."
" ...? "
"Have a nice trip."
For a moment, I doubted my eyes and ears.
"N..yes..."
I didn't feel too bad. Maybe it was meant in a good way.
"Whew..."
Sea was so trembling that she almost collapsed and foamed at the mouth at the thought of opening just one door and facing the Emperor and Empress, but she held it together.
Is there no Cheongsimhwan in this world...^^?
"Kim Se-ah, the young lady of the Karna family, has arrived."
"Tell them to come in."
I paused for a moment because it seemed different from the Emperor's voice I had heard at the ball.
Squeak
The large door opened and I went inside, my head almost hanging on the floor.
"The great sun of the empire..."
"What are you doing?"
...?!
"I see you, the little sun of the empire...?"
"With your head down like that, you might not even know who's inside."
" ha ha ha... "
No, why are you here, you male lead!!!
"What are you doing? You're not sitting down."
" yes... "
"How is your physical condition?"
"It's okay... I lost."
"Yeah, that's right. Thanks to you, Jung Ho-seok is sick in bed."
" yes...?!? "
"Well, that's enough talk."
"Ah... over there..."
" ? "
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
"You two are busy, so you'll be home a little late, so you can stay with me."
Are you...crazy...?
"Aren't you busy?"
" huh. "
" Ah... haha... yes...;;^^ "
"Tell me a funny story."
What the...?
"They say you have a way with words that even our mother would like... Since you have nothing better to do, try saying something."
Do you think I came here to show off my skills!! I looked at Min Yoongi with a dumbfounded expression, and I almost died from the anger at Min Yoongi who didn't care at all whether I did or not.
"If you don't do it, you'll just stay here, but if you do, you can go to where Jeon Jungkook, who you're so close with, is."
"Hmm, let me open my mouth^^"
Hey shit, I don't know either, just let it be;; Cock, thump!!
