“Hey, how lowly—”

“Hold on!” He stood up with his hand raised.

“Well, thanks to you, we were able to avoid the Crown Prince. It’s a relief in the end. If that hadn’t happened, we might have had to accept the Crown Prince’s coercive demands. Why don’t we… …think more positively about the situation?”

“That’s all I can say.”

This peanut-kind of an older brother, you be quiet. This was not something that could only be claimed by his words. Although predictable, there was a way to examine how this fact would affect the people involved.

There was something, Libra, arranged by the White Uroboros to protect the blood of the Royal Family. When one climbs on the Libra, if pure, will be parallel, but if not, it tilts.

Getting there was essential before electing the Crown Prince or the Crown Princess. Mom came out with a quiet gaze and alternated with Gerald.

“But the two of you who are not engaged… I can’t believe it already happened. I’ll talk to the Logan family and wrap this up.”

“……thank you, Duchess. And I’m sorry.”

“But the two of you… you should get punished, right? I prohibit you two from meeting alone for a month. Never. From now on, Lulu should be accompanied by Alexid wherever she goes out.” Alexid growled at me.

What the hell’s wrong with that? And now he was not gonna do anything with Veronica? He’s a really weird guy.

“……I’m sorry, Mom.” She said with an apologetic look.

Her mother sighed deeply. “I don’t know if I should say that you did a good job. But I don’t think it would matter as well? Anyway, you’d better be careful from now on. Louella, let the Imperial Family and I conclude this matter. You’d better not meet the Crown Prince anymore.”

“Yes!” Loulla nodded.

Her mother sighed but ordered all three of them to celebrate. “Gerald, you’re really……. I can’t even hit you!” Alexid raised and lowered his fist at Gerald.

Gerald spoke refreshingly to Alexid, who thumped his chest. “That’s what already happened, and I look forward to your kind cooperation, Alexid.”

Alexid couldn’t beat him and trembled. He looked just like a puppy in front of Gerald.

Gerald couldn’t even greet her properly and was dragged out by Alexid. It was obvious that he was hanging out with Alexid, but Alexid was acting as if Louella had kicked him out.

Well then. She lied down on the bed because she couldn’t go out as she made an excuse stating that she was sick.

“Ah…… the Crown Prince. What are you doing all of a sudden?” She couldn’t believe he proposed.

Did we ever exchange anything worthwhile? She had been talking about Philia all along. It was not an emotional exchange.

Anxiety surged in. Thanks to him, she said something she didn’t want to say. I fell asleep thinking about punching the prince’s smooth face.

When Louella was having the time to relax, Gerald was seeing Brenti. The reason why the Crown Prince was able to do such a thing was that there was nothing else to do.

Then, shouldn’t he just make him have a lot of work to do?

“You’re moving things forward?” Gerald nodded.

“Is there a problem?”

“That’s not it, but… I was wondering. I didn’t think you’d go back on your decision.” Gerald smirked.

Brenti didn’t know. Gerald was a man who could reverse everything when it came to Louella.

Louella was always Gerald’s variable at times like these.

“If you can pull ahead, when would be a good time?”

“This weekend. I hope I can mess up the art gallery event.”

“Did the Crown Prince do something against his will? Or Candidum?”

“The Crown Prince proposed to Louella.”

it’s up to him anyway. Gerald said coldly. “It won’t happen, but he has to pay for daring to look at the person I love.”

“Ah…” Brenti smiled awkwardly.

Whenever Barenti met Louella, Gerald came to me and interfered. Gerald was blind when it came to Louella.

Gerald glared at him when he touched Louella. Brenti twisted his tongue briefly. The Crown Prince has an enemy whom he would treat as a worthy opponent.

“Then I’ll see you on Saturday.”

Gerald had power among the deities and used the power of the Black Uroboros.

As it has already happened before. Are you ready?

[Of course. I’m very satisfied with what you do. Take my strength and use it anytime.] The Black Uroboros spoke out loud.

“God says he’s ready, too.” Gerald smiled, “I’ll see you on Saturday.” Gerald and Brenti nodded.
