The Grand Duchess Is Defeated Again Today

73 – The princess celebrates her birthday.(3)

At the time the sun, which had risen brighter than anything else and showed off its confidence, slowly began to fall.

“So, me at that time… Princess?”

“····.”

Listening to Isabella chattering next to her, Rebecca’s patience as she waited for her fiancé was slowly running out.

Even though her answers were always ‘yes’ or ‘no’, it wasn’t because of Isabella’s constant attempts to communicate.

Rather, if Isabella hadn’t been sitting next to her, other nobles who had discovered her alone would have come to try to make some connections with her.

Fortunately, because Isabella, the daughter of the same duke, stayed by her side, other nobles couldn’t approach her easily.

So she has been able to keep her calm mind until now.

“······It’s late.”

“Yes?”

“It’s very late. My fiancé.”

“····.”

Until now.

It is 9:00 am when her fiancé sent a call saying that he will be late, and the current time is 7:00 pm.

In fact, I didn’t arrive for almost half of the day without a call.

“······I don’t feel well.”

“····.”

How could she keep her mind calm under these circumstances?

Not on any other day, but on her birthday, which only comes once a year.

She has been told many times that she is her only fiancé, she is her only fiancé.

“······Would you like to go out to dinner together?”

Isabella’s voice was trembling as well, probably because she was so sharp that she could be cut if she did something wrong.

A typical terrified voice with no excuses.

If a woman with the appearance of Isabella was trembling with an expression like that, it was a voice that anyone would feel sorry for.

“No, young lady, go first. I’m not in the mood to eat.”

Unfortunately, it’s because the opponent is the angry Princess of Valencia who is said to be the scariest in the empire.

“······Then, I’ll go first! Princess, please come to dinner soon!”

How scared she was now, Isabella, who had been chatting well next to her until just now, left the place very quickly.

She lightly waved her hand and saw Isabella off.

It would be a lie if Isabella didn’t feel guilty about her.

What she did just now was nothing more than taking her anger out on a petty person.

Looking back at her who is confident that she evaluates her more calmly than anyone else, she really acted like an immature child.

No matter how you look at it, it wasn’t something the next Duke of Valencia would do.

“When are you coming?”

What can I do?

The cool-headed woman always becomes an immature child when only her fiancé is involved.

She finds it difficult to make rational decisions when her fiancé is involved.

She didn’t like her fiancé who was late for her big day after making her expect so much.

“Why are you late?”

However, it was also true that I was just as worried.

The person she has been through so far is ‘Alber Zernias’.

Although he is a strange person who is good at making people’s hearts beat faster and making people’s cheeks red even though he hasn’t learned magic.

At least he wasn’t the one who broke his promise to her fiancee.

Have you ever caught a cold like last time?

Maybe she had an accident in the process of preparing something that made her expect her.

Could it be that she has been put in such an urgent situation that she cannot be contacted?

A lot of worries were growing in her mind along with various questions.

Time passed slowly but continuously.

***

How much time has passed?

Suddenly, I was curious about the current time, so I looked at the wall where the clock was, and the antique-looking clock told me that it was 10:00 PM.

She would have gone to bed by the time she was already in bed.

The guests who had come to celebrate her birthday were still talking loudly in the banquet hall on the first floor.

“····.”

And her patience finally reached its limit.

I wondered what the hell this was doing.

She is the Princess of Valencia who needs to be nobler than anyone else and make her own judgment better than anyone else.

It’s like waiting impatiently for her fiancé to come without even enjoying her birthday properly.

I was very proud of myself.

“······· Ha.”

Just as I let out the heaviest sigh in the world and was about to go back to wrap up her birthday.

“Are you going to end it like this?”

Perhaps the prayers were of no use at all, Mikhail, who had been praying so hard not to come back, was standing in front of the door before he knew it.

“What is it?”

“No matter how you look at it, it seems like you’re getting up to finish the day.”

“······That’s right.”

“Can it really end like that?”

The prince speaks out as if you have the right to act like that.

“······Then, how long will I have to wait?”

“····.”

“Yes? Tell me. I’ve waited long enough for this.”

It was absurd.

Her Clearly, if the prince had heard all about her situation from her in the morning, there would be no way she wouldn’t know how much she had been waiting for her fiancé.

Why is she giving her advice that doesn’t sound like that?

“Well, you know that, not me.”

After hearing her heartfelt words, Mikhail did not change her attitude, but rather made her voice louder.

“After waiting this long, how about giving her fiancé a little more chance?”

“······I think I’ve already given enough…”

“Something might have happened to your fiance, as you were worried about.”

“····.”

I got goosebumps for a moment.

Not because the prince noticed her fiancé’s worries in her heart, but because the prince said that something might have happened to her fiancé.

It wasn’t hard to figure out from her crown prince’s point of view that she was worried about her fiancé.

Though that unlucky prince is unlucky, he is the fastest person in the empire. You should have already noticed her contradictory relationship with her fiancé.

It was only on her mind that something really might have happened to her fiancé.

“The Prince Albert I know is someone who always keeps his words.”

“····.”

As I said before, she already knew that the prince’s words, that is, that she was the one who kept her fiancé’s words.

“So, why not wait a little longer. At least until your birthday is over.”

“····.”

“This doesn’t really seem like a loss to you.”

“······Okay. You just have to wait a little longer.”

So I nodded slightly at the prince’s words to wait a little longer.

Although the prince’s words to wait just a little longer were reasonable since his birthday was just around the corner.

She’s been through a lot, and she’s the one who knows her fiancé better than anyone else.

Her fiancé was not one to disappoint her in this.

“That’s great. Then I’ll go back to the imperial palace.”

Watching her consent, the prince turned around as if his task had ended here.

“······Degradation.”

“Hmm?”

“I have a question for you.”

Just before the prince opened the door and left, she grabbed him with a question.

“······It’s unusual for you to ask me a question. So, what kind of question is it?”

The prince reacted as if he had never seen her react like this and readily allowed her to ask questions.

“Why are you helping me?”

Her question was not very difficult.

“Hmm?”

“Not too long ago, you must have hated seeing me and Prince Albert next to each other.”

Why was the prince giving her this kind of advice, as she had reacted terribly to her and her fiancé’s behavior until the day her hunting competition was held?

She simply wondered about it.

“I don’t know if I can tell you this…”

The prince, who had touched his forehead as if to think about it for a while, opened his mouth soon.

“I don’t want to see you regret or be sad anymore.”

“······You don’t want to see me and Young master sad anymore?”

“Yes. You heard me right.”

Although the prince reminded her again that her understanding was correct.

“······What do you mean?”

She honestly didn’t understand at all.

How could the crown prince ever say something like that when he saw her and her fiancé regret it?

She’s her What she’s known since she was a child, so even if she thinks it could be, she wouldn’t have been 5 months since her fiancé and the prince met.

When the prince listens to her words, she talks like a friend she’s known for years.

However, her doubts were not resolved in the end.

“It’s literally. I don’t want to see you and Prince Albert regret any more.”

“So what are you talking about all of a sudden…”

“Shhh. What do you hear?”

“····.”

Because she was about to continue her question, her crown prince stopped her, saying that she heard something out of the blue.

Jeobeok- Jeobeok-

The sound of someone’s footsteps was heading towards this place where she and the prince were now.

Not anywhere else, but right here, on the terrace on the second floor.

“I told you to wait a little longer.”

“····.”

And, those footsteps were very similar to the footsteps of someone she had heard countless times before.

“Then it’s time for the extras to leave.”

“······What?”

“I’ll see you next time.”

“····.”

The prince left her last words and then, using her magic, she disappeared in an instant.

Kikik-

I opened the door and ran away.

“······Did you wait a long time?”

“····.”

As if he had taken care to make it easy for guests to arrive at this door soon.

Finally, with an hour left until her birthday is over.

Her fiance appeared before her eyes.
