He was extremely sensitive and didn’t allow her to mention anything. It seemed he was hiding something. Looking back now, Raul seemed to be unnecessarily restraining Khaled.
Of course, the rumors about the second prince were not very favorable either.
A prince who didn’t even attempt to hide his disdainful gaze, who had no manners, a brute.
A cruel and ruthless prince with a gloomy side.
So, compared to the always kind first prince, unfavorable comments often came to her ears.
“Ah, sister! You really don’t know!”
Cloze pounded her chest and spoke as if frustrated.
“People like Prince Raul, who seem to do everything for you, tend to change! Rather, a person as cold and calm as Prince Khaled will be warm towards his woman!”
Cloze defended her argument with a fiery passion.
“Cloze… Didn’t I tell you to stop reading those novels?”
“It’s not a novel, anyway!”
Feeling targeted, Cloze pretended to sip her tea.
But that didn’t last long.
Along with a faint sigh, she held the fork and poked at the empty plate.
“Sometimes I don’t understand you, sister. If I were you, I would meet all kinds of men.”
“Cloze.”
“I mean, it’s useless to have rumors that you’re pretty here and there. You’re always reading in the castle, and as soon as the first prince who suddenly appeared treats you a bit well, you’re head over heels, right?”
Really, when did she start to choose words so inappropriately?
Velia, who had judged that her sister had a serious problem, was wondering where to start with Cloze’s words, and she chuckled.
She realized that she was trying to nag at her sister whom she hadn’t seen in a long time.
Even such an emotion felt incredibly luxurious, and she didn’t know what to do.
“I didn’t fall for him.”
“Then you will fall for him in a few days.”
“Cloze, really…”
At Cloze’s stubborn rebuttal, Velia was speechless when…
The terrace door opened and Herald entered.
“Didn’t I come too late?”
“Of course not, brother.”
Velia smiled and offered him the vacant seat.
How long has it been since the three of them spent time together?
She felt like she was about to cry again from the warmth that rose from deep in her heart.
But she swallowed the surging emotions, and smiled very brightly.
“I really wanted to spend time together like this.”
“Then?”
“Thank you.”
For being alive.
Velia, unable to voice her thoughts, bit into her favorite baked snack with deliberate flamboyance.
Seated in front of a massive desk, Velia stared blankly at a sheet of paper.
“What will you do?”
The paper, clearly marked as a proposal letter in perfectly neat handwriting, revealed its sender.
“Prince Raul seems quite smitten with you.”
“Abamama.”
“Didn’t you have feelings for him too?”
Perhaps she did.
Thinking back, Velia had quickly fallen head over heels for Raul.
However,
“Please reject it.”
“…Didn’t you like him?”
“It’s true I was briefly swayed, but not to the extent of deciding to spend my life with him.”
The kindly middleaged man listened attentively to Velia’s words.
“I do not wish to marry Prince Raul.”
At his daughter’s firm words, he opened his mouth with a serious expression.
“Ronica Kingdom is a small country. No matter how peaceful we claim to be, we are still a small nation that must inevitably bear the brunt of events in powerful countries.”
“So, are you saying that I should marry him?”
Velia asked with a crooked attitude.
“It’s not a bad match.”
Her father never gave precise answers like this.
He always handed the choice over to Velia, as if saying she should shoulder the responsibility alone.
She loved her family dearly, but this aspect made her a little sad.
“In that case, please reject it as there might be a better match. My feelings will not change.”
“Prince Raul is closer to the throne than anyone else. To reject his proposal, there needs to be a substantial reason.”
A reason to reject!
I don’t like him. I really don’t like Raul.
Is that not enough?
Why does there need to be a reason when the person involved in the marriage talks doesn’t want it?
“Is it not enough that I dislike him? That my heart doesn’t want him?”
“Velia. Don’t act like a child. I’m saying that we need a reason to convince him.”
Velia gritted her teeth.
‘Ah…….’
At this moment, she didn’t know why she thought of Prince Khaled.
Was it because of her conversation with Clozé a while ago?
Upon reflection, she needed a counterweight to bring down Raul.
Being a princess of a small country, she couldn’t offer anything to a prince of the empire, let alone if he became the emperor.
She needed someone to become her sword.
‘…Khaled Ingot.’
What if she made him her ally?
Velia knew about the future that would unfold.
If she utilized all that information,
‘…I might be able to crown Prince Khaled as the emperor, not Raul.’
She had watched everything Raul had obtained by his side.
Velia was the closest person to the emperor until the moment he received the emperor’s crown.
Even though she became the empress and found out about the existence of the secret government he had hidden, watched him take away everything she had, and was ultimately killed by him, she was at least the closest person to the emperor until then.
“……Please give me a little time, Abamama.”
Velia, who had returned to the past, wished for Raul to fall into the abyss desperately.
For that, she needed a new figure to take all the praise stolen from him.
‘If that figure becomes the Second Prince.’
Raul would be angrier than in any other situation.
His little brother, whom he had always kept in check, was stealing everything from him.
The thrill ran through Velia’s body as she briefly imagined that scene.
Perhaps.
The person who would bring him to his knees at the end of the agonizing abyss.
The person who would push him into the sticky darkness of despair.
Second Prince of the Empire, Khaled.
He might be the right person.
When the male lead is punished by carrying the female lead’s child and having periods like a woman
“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
