He is obsessed with me after I saved him

She turned her stiff shoulders lightly against Carlos’ solemnity.

What she said earlier was not empty. Because all the weight of her was on his shoulders, he almost got a cramp if she moved in a wrong way.

So when the opportunity came, it was necessary to firmly correct Carlos’ meanness.

She doesn’t like to be a bad-tempered woman, more importantly, she hates the reckless team members even more.

“So. Are you going to apologize or drink?”

“… I’ll do it. It was late, but I was sorry for being rude. At that time, I unintentionally made an excuse because I was in a bad condition.”

“Yes. I like your purity.”

She just listened silently, and after shaking her head, she hurriedly bent down.

It’s something that’s been bothering her since earlier, but she couldn’t leave the pile of documents that had poured under her feet.

These are the materials for today’s meeting, so, must not leave a single footprint. Otherwise, we’ll make the security team look inelegant!

When she hurriedly gathered the documents and took them off from the floor, Carlos’ hand approached and helped her, with his smooth movements.

In the end, it was a repetition of the same situation as before.

The moment she put the scattered papers back into her arms, she bumped into Violet’s eyes again.

Still, he looked calm, much better than before.

‘Well, did it go well because I calmed down?’ 

She scratched her cheeks awkwardly. Taking advantage of this spare time, she brought it up.

“There is. Then, the team leader only remembers the proposal earlier, what occurred inside the office, and what happened before entering the carriage?”

“… Huh?

“Uh, so what I am saying is, you were planning on ruining the banquet, by reversing the time again. Since you have a good heart, you did it while staying calm and avoiding ‘any accident’, right?”

She deliberately excluded what happened in the meantime.

It was a necessary procedure to check his reaction.

If she even remembered the story of her babbling at the banquet hall, she would hit the ground and regret it for a long time.

The fact that he was out of control is evidence that he lost his reason and ran wild, in the middle of her saying what she remembered, would he also recall what happened back then?

Although she doesn’t think that all the orders she gave would work,

But it was still a runaway incident.

She tried to calm myself down and ask.

Carlos listened to her words, and after a few pauses, his expression hardened, and he finally answered.

“Any incident… That’s right. That’s true.”

“Yes, am I right? I’m glad you turned back time peacefully. Well done.”

“DiI.. do well?”

“Yes.”

Carlos smirked. The self-sabotaging face was still there.

Why did he ask like that? She was embarrassed and looked straight ahead, but it was useless.

“I’ve packed all the documents, so shall we go? To attend the meeting.”

In an instant, the subject of the story had changed.

No, it’s supposed to be like this, but…

Was it only her illusion to sense that Carlos looks too calm?

At some point, he became calm and grabbed her arm and quickly raised himself up.

She had finished organizing her clothes by chance, but she was the only one in a hurry who couldn’t get rid of the awkwardness yet.

Is this exactly what attitude change means?

He, who took the lead in transferring all the documents inside the case, turned around and called her.

“We’re going to be late, Miss Lutiens.”

“Oh, yes. Let’s go.”

An expressionless face. He looked like a human being, because he was smiling lightly toward this side.

She rushed to his side, and then, they Wales side by side.

She should have stopped worrying about it.

“Shall we go hand in hand?”

“Please, don’t say such things.”

She was also busy paying attention to her relationship with him which had changed.

They managed to finish attending the conference hall without being late.

Surely, it was because Carlos is a prince, thus, he was quick to grasp the location of the Royal Security Agency in the palace.

It won’t be a problem, as they just used a different shortcut from others because there was no enough time to laze around.

Anyway, just by the appearance of Carlos and her, the atmosphere in the conference hall had completely subsided, and not even a handful of conversations were going on.

No one would dare to know that we pressed the elliptical switch and quietly escaped from the left to the third gap of the lobby blind spot, crossing the sophisticated underground stairs.

No one would dare to know that we dared to press the switch, climbed the polished underground staircase, and had quietly escaped from the lobby using the blind spot area, when we got the opportunity, and from the crowds who lingered there.

‘Anyhow.’

Somehow, it felt more serious.

A meeting that has not yet begun even though the whole group has gathered, feels pressuring. It was also filled with hostility and ridicule.

The meaning it brings was greater than expected.

Silence flowed in here as if it was natural.

At the same time, everyone became axe-eyed and looked at Carlos and were busy whispering among themselves.

“Wow…”

Looking at it like this, I think I know a little about the situation of the neglected prince.

It was unfamiliar.

As soon as I met Carlos, the reactions were clear, compared to Ishid and Dice’s attitude, who greeted politely from the beginning.

I came to realize how nice and good the people of the Velos security team were.

“What do you mean wow?”

Carlos, who was sitting next to her, casually turned his chin and asked.

I answered calmly, covering my mouth.

“Nothing, I was just amazed. I wondered how bad the team leader’s reputation would be to get such reactions.“

Ooops.

“Uh… I’m sorry if it was unpleasant. It was a pure intention.”

I paused for a moment after she said that, but in any way, she never meant any harm.

She just said what she felt.

“I didn’t say it was unpleasant. And it’s true that my reputation is bad.“

Carlos, who responded politely, quickly fixed his back and moved away from me.

“This makes me really sorry.“

“It’s okay. Isn’t it funny to expect rumors to be good on the subject of neglect?”

“Well, still…”

Seeing him mocking himself made her feel uncomfortable.

How bad would it be if the rumors weren’t good enough that some police officers didn’t even take a peek in front of the prince?

In the original novel, only episodes dealing with love lines with the heroine were pinpointed, so she didn’t know the details.

For example, the fact of how much power Carlos has within the royal palace.

After hearing Carlos’ words, she felt bitter in her mouth.

Perhaps because he gave up, he ended his words casually.

She looked at Carlos’ face, who was very stiff, and hurriedly looked straight at the voice we heard.

“Great, hmm! First of all, we apologize for the delay, and we will start the meeting. Everyone had worked hard to get here.”

She guessed that the meeting was finally going to proceed. The president of the Royal Security Agency, who was standing high on the middle podium, used his ability to strengthen his voice.

The conference hall consisted of an arched terraced group seat, in the shape of a semicircle and a large platform in front.

There was a seat at the highest point of the protruding platform in the middle, but someone began to approach it as if to fill it.

“Ga, gasp.”

“Oh…!”

The entrance of the man with pink hair caused a big stir in the hall.

“Huh?”

What? Who is that person?

She narrowed my view and caught the pink haired man more in her eyes.

He was a man with a good impression, with his eyebrows exposed by a cool parting.

The uniform jacket over the shoulders belonged to the royal family, considering that it was surrounded by a kind of gold border that had been familiar with books.

The badge on the chest was also unusual now that she saw it.

When she heard voices shouting one by one, while folding his back along his steps.

Doubt has turned into conviction.

“Go, goddess, may the goddess reach you, and I see your Highness, the Crown Prince of Deloid!”

“What brings you here? We’re meeting your noble crown prince!“

She hurriedly poked Carlos on the side.

“Team leader.”

He, unlike others, also had his eyes on the podium with serious eyes.

Carlos looks surprised, too.

As expected, then….

“Team Leader, is that your younger sibling?”

The answer was already set, but she was surprised.

How can brothers doesn’t look alike…

The crown prince and Carlos were all opposed.

Pink and black. Freshness and darkness.

The only thing that’s similar is the color of his eyes. Even this, Carlos…

It had a darker color.

“Portrait of the Crown Prince. Have you never seen it?”

“Of course.”

Why would she watch things like that? When he shook his head carefully and said, Carlos turned his head briefly.

He also had salty cold eyes like she had earlier.

“If you are a citizen of the kingdom, it is the basics of the basics. What have you been doing without seeing anything like that?”

“Maybe you didn’t know. Because I’m not so interested in royal affairs.“

To be exact, the novel does not explain the appearance of the crown prince.

“…. How much less is Miss Lutiens interested in me?”

I opened my mouth after contemplating.

“A little bit, a lot.”

Until the day before yesterday, she had a long dream of avoiding the main character, and just meeting Carlos was horror and she wanted to run away.

Yeah. No matter how much the male protagonist is interested to her, he can’t do that.

It’s definitely someone else’s cake*. I smiled and turned my head, and for some reason he looked at me with wounded eyes.

(TL: This is like saying, it is for someone and not hers.)

“…… Miss Lutiens words sound more shocking than the fact that my younger brother came here.”

She thought he had been only looking at the platform until earlier.

Carlos couldn’t take his eyes off of her for a while.
