His slightly dark skin contrasted with his silver hair and eyelashes, making the man look like a fascinating elf.
But the problem was not the man’s handsome face.
‘Damn it. How strong was that alcohol?’
Latil spat out a curse inside.
Fortunately, both were wearing layers of clothes, so it didn’t seem like a ‘big accident’ had happened, but the princess who came as the representative of the embassy sleeping in the garden with a man she didn’t know was a big enough accident.
Did we drink together? The man also smelled strongly of alcohol.
Then, the man’s eyelids twitched. It seemed like he would open his eyes at any moment.
‘No!’
Latil hurriedly escaped from that place.
[This is the time separator]
Upon returning to her room, Latil’s head became complicated.
Could that man know that I’m a princess? But how did that man end up lying next to me? Was he also drunk and passed out?
If so, he might not remember her either.
Besides, unlike her, the man hadn’t woken up from the alcohol and hadn’t seen Latil. He might not even remember the existence of Latil.
‘I wish that would be the case. Damn it. Who the hell is that man? What does he do?’
If the man works at the palace, even if he remembers Latil, he will keep quiet. There was a high chance that he didn’t know who Latil was. But if he was a noble…
‘I might meet him at Hyacinth’s wedding.’
Latil tried hard to remember the man’s clothes. If you see the outfit, you can roughly tell the status.
But strangely enough, no matter how hard she wracked her brain, she couldn’t remember what the man was wearing just a few minutes ago. His face was so strong that she didn’t see his clothes.
‘I’m sure he was wearing something…’
After a long time of contemplation, Latil decided that even if she met the man, she would just pretend not to know.
It’s not just her disgrace. He also made a fool of himself. If they had dignity, it would be better to pretend not to know each other.
‘Okay.’
Having reached a conclusion, Latil quickly undressed and went into the bathroom.
[This is the time separator]However, her reunion with the man unfolded in a much worse and serious direction than Latil expected.
‘Wow… Damn it. I’m going crazy.’
She went to the grand hall to attend Hyacinth’s wedding. One of the most prestigious seats there was occupied by that man.
As soon as she saw the location, Latil could tell that the man was a royal, a royal of Karisen.
That meant there was a high possibility that the man was a relative of Hyacinth. Furthermore, seeing that the place assigned to Latil was similar, he was not even a distant relative.
Was it a misunderstanding? It seemed like the man kept looking at her.
“Princess. Do you know him? He’s constantly looking at you.”
It seemed it wasn’t a misunderstanding.
“I don’t know him.”
Latil bluntly lied. It’s clear because I’m so pretty. That must be it.
Fortunately, even as she continued to ignore him, the man just turned his head and did not pretend to know her.
“Princess. Your eyes are becoming like a flatfish. It would be better to turn your head and look.”
Latil glared at the knight commander who kept hitting the nail on the head and closed her eyes tightly.
“Rest assured. They don’t acknowledge me either. It’s one of three things: they are unsure, they don’t know, or they chose to pretend not to know.”

“Latrasil Valertain Tarium. The Princess of Tarium.”
As his subordinate reported almost without moving his lips, the corner of Klein’s mouth twisted up.
“Quite bold. So she introduced herself as the Princess.”
A snorting sound came from between Klein’s neat teeth.
That woman who called herself the Princess. She definitely saw him, but she kept averting her gaze as if she didn’t know him.
With her unnaturally stiff head, wasn’t she sending a signal saying, ‘I am ignoring you’?
Last night, Klein found a knight crying drunkenly and approached him. She was a female knight in uniform, and she was crying sorrowfully with a bottle of alcohol in her hand.
He admits. He did not approach her with good intentions. He intended to shoo her away because she was loud.
But the woman was strong. She was immovable even when he tried to chase her away.
In the end, Klein decided to get the woman to drink more alcohol so she would become drunk. Then she would fall asleep quietly. Besides, he was also curious about why she kept crying and mumbling about a handsome man.
“Who on earth is this handsome man that you’re crying so much about?”
“You.”
But, surprisingly, the woman said she was crying because of Klein. She grabbed Klein’s collar in surprise and sobbed pitifully.
“Hy…acinth. I like you so much, but you… Whooah. Who are you? Did you come from heaven to soothe my pain? Whoooaah!”
Klein was not unpopular. Although he wasn’t a prince by birth from the empress, he was still a prince and was also known as ‘beauty that shakes the nation’ because he was born with a beautiful face. It was harder for him to not have popularity.
However, due to his fuckedup personality contrasting his beautiful appearance, there were no women who dared to openly court him since he turned 15. It was also the first time for a woman to cling to him, saying that she liked him wholeheartedly.
The woman clung to Klein’s side and sobbed.
Klein awkwardly hugged the woman. There was a familiar scent of earth and grass between the smell of alcohol. Her soft hair tickled his neck.
He had a woman who was in so much pain because she liked him. Klein comforted the woman with a strange sense of satisfaction.
However, he was a prince, so he couldn’t marry just any woman.
“Are you crazy? Do you like me that much?”
“Are you going to leave? Are you going to leave me too?”
“Well, I am.”
“Waaaah… Waaah! I’ll lock you up in prison! I’ll tie you up and not let you go!”
“Hey, miss. That’s a crime.”
As he clicked his tongue while watching the woman get drunk, Klein snatched away the alcohol the woman was drinking and drank it.
It was a form of sympathy in its own way. A sympathy for a woman crying because she liked him, whom he couldn’t accept. He felt sorry, so he thought he might as well drink with her.
Klein drank the woman’s alcohol and comforted her by patting her back.
However, when he opened his eyes, the woman was nowhere to be found. No one knew about the female knight with black hair and black eyes, no matter who he asked.
Klein was upset. She said she liked him. She cried, saying she liked him. How could she leave him alone in the garden and run away?
Still, he tried to understand. She might have left because she was embarrassed to reveal the feelings she had been hiding so deeply. She was embarrassed and scared because she acted disgracefully towards him, who was a prince, so she ran away.
When he interpreted it that way, he thought she was somewhat cute, and he was curious about her when she was sober.
Klein returned to his residence with a regretful heart.
He wanted to know more about the woman, but he had to hurry to prepare to attend his damn brother’s wedding.
Then he unexpectedly ran into the woman who had been crying and sobbing at an unexpected place. A woman who cheekily wouldn’t even make eye contact.
“……”
Klein, who checked the time, eventually stood up from his seat. Raising the corner of his mouth, he walked towards the woman and lightly tapped the back of the chair in front of her with his finger.
“Stop avoiding my gaze. Let’s greet each other.”
