~ Chapter 28 ~

 

May it reach him, may it reach him, may it reach him….

He said the same words dozens of times.

He even turned his gaze away in case he might see the Prince’s anger.

The silver-haired young man smiled as he looked around, which looked the same as if it had been printed out, even after provoking the Prince.

It seemed absurd.

His courage was still confident in front of an almighty status.

On the contrary, Sollio, who was watching him right in front of him, praised his boldness.

So he just decided.

“The Marquis Cesar.”

“Yes, your highness.”

“You will be part of the Velos security team as of today.”

Someone who will be his eyes and ears.

“… Pardon?”

“Unfortunately, the positions for higher positions are full, therefore only lower positions were left. The Marquis, with his broad generosity, yielded a hundred times and bent over to enter.”

A boy with an infinitely good-looking face crossed his arms indifferently.

There was no need for correction in his words.

“Azelion Cesar, as of today, I will seal you as a member of the Velos Security Team under the direct order of me, the Crown Prince.”

“Go and report everything to me in detail. Even trivial relationships related to the First Prince, Carlos, with his every move, must be known to me. “

Unlike brutal words, he finally added with a good smile.

It was like a beast who had been waiting for its prey for a long time.

For Sollio, his softness was a luxury that was almost impossible to obtain, except for his inherently drooping eyes.

Especially when it comes to Carlos.

“Of course, taking off your real identity is a must.”

You shall go and deceive Carlos, investigate everything about him.

What is he planning to do in the future by appearing suddenly, after hiding his shadows all this time?

And out of many security teams, what was the reason that you had to be the Team Leader of Velos Security?

“As you can see, I am overwhelmed with my role as the innocent brother. Thus I’ll leave the rest to you. You’re my henchman, so you’ll do well for me, Cesar Marquis, right?”

“… May the will of the goddess reach you.”

“Alright. I hope you don’t disappoint me with your role.”

A silver-haired young man with his head bent down was in front of Sollio.

It meant to obey Sollio’s orders unconditionally and must be abided.

Even with the Crown Prince’s humiliating proposal, he had an unspoken attitude, adding his expression that doesn’t imply his intentions.

In the cold conversation between the two, the Officials were trembling in fear.

“Alright then, that’s fine. When the water comes in, you have to row. Even the smallest cracks, I intend to dig into them.”

(TN: Yes, I also didn’t understand this, but from what I could see, this only meant, ‘Even if it’s hard to scoop anything about Carlos, Marquis Cesar had to do well, and no matter how small Carlos’s ‘everything’ is, Sollio told him to dig into them.’)

Sollio’s eyes became ambiguous when he said so, it was slightly narrowed, imagining his victory.

A ray of light which overlaps with his friendly eyes, and friendly childhood with Carlos.

He silently swept his chin, recalling Carlos, who called him, ‘Lio’.

Soon, one side of his heart became indescribably emotional.

I’m sorry, Older Brother.

“Again. Back to the point.”

Please don’t blame me if you ever found this.

As Sollio slowly turned his back, he heard the sound of papers flapping over the back of his head.

The executive in charge of monitoring, who had been only looking at the inside of the hall, flinched and soon displayed a three-dimensional screen in front of him.

Wi-ing.

Soon after, a man with black hair appeared right in front of the Crown Prince’s view.

He is none other than the only direct line of the kingdom of Deloid.

It was Carlos, the first prince who was once referred to as a crown prince.

I don’t know what strange wind blew Velos Security, which has become kind of different, but thanks to it, he was able to get proof.

Sollio, leaning on the podium, clenched the document with his hands, as his eyes burnt in anger.

“…… Project B. Recovery begins now.”

A long time ago a plan that was originally intended to try but quit.

Sollio, who had already been frustrated once, tries to gamble the game again.

「Regarding the disposition of Carlos, the first prince.」

No one dares to foretold about an unimaginable and unknown future which awaits.

(TN: WAIT! So, all this time I was deceived?! I thought Sollio was a good brother…)

 

***

 

The warm spring has come. A peaceful afternoon for the Velos Team.

“A little more to the side! To the side! More, more, more!”

“No! It’s not that way, but the front side is much better!”

“Both of you are wrong. The other side is the answer.”

Crack!

When his stretched hand hit the table, the coin flew up into the air.

Flying up, not long after, swirling – snap.

“Wow…”

It turned over neatly.

3 wins out of 3 games. Therefore, the winner of today’s game was Ishid, just like the last game.

“No, you won again!”

“Isn’t this too much, Ishid?”

“Guessing is a skill. Everyone shall work harder!”

When he winked, she almost spit out the herbal tea she was drinking.

Well, that was a ridiculous act….

It was a picture that was repeated for three days.

A fair game without using your powers.

For some reason, due to the decrease in work these days, manager Dice and Meichel sang so many times because they were bored.

My daily life was a little boring too, I was just sitting down and processing documents and waited for the grace period to come, leisurely.

That was why I suggested a game to bring back memories of my past life.…

These people are so passionate.

“Let’s just do it moderately. Moderately.”

I’m just choosing the menu for our lunch. What’s up with their desire to win?

Whether it was attractive not to use the ability, everyone is betting coins every day.

No matter how much I proposed, who would have thought that this game would spread to other departments as well?

I, who had been ignored because of my grade, had become someone who was the savior of all people in the morning.

“Rose, is there any other game? This is so much fun!”

“Nothing. What kind of game…”

“Eyy, don’t do that. Tell me! Young~ (acting cute)”

And I don’t want to admit it, but I especially got along with Meichel. I believe it’s the power of the game.

“Ishid, so what do you think we eat for lunch?”

I asked him, while pulling Meichel away from her shoulders.

As the people of the security team live as honorable people, the system supports everything the kingdom can do, so they are free to select menus.

Even if I can’t eat food such as tteokbokki, chicken, pizza, etc., I can’t stop myself from thinking of grabbing a luxurious restaurant and making my fortune!

It is a good world to live in unless I want to escape from the security department because I don’t want to be a competent person.

Of course, I’ll be a deserted ninja in two weeks.

“Hmm. What do you want to eat, Rose?”

“Why are you asking me that? It’s up to you to choose today’s menu.”

You won the game to decide what you want to eat, but why are you asking me?

“But you’re the creator of the game!”

“Choose anything. I can eat anything with meat.”

“Anything?”

“Yes.”

Ishid crossed his arms, while packing his coat that he took off in a careless way. I felt like I was contemplating.

But this bastard, I will really pick anything.

“Then, around the outskirts where the team leader is, how about everyone?”

“Pfft!”

I didn’t expect him to spit herb tea.

(TN: Implies that he had uttered nonsense.)

Just now. I hope I heard it wrong. I glared at Ishid.

I would believe that it is the Male Lead, who was very full of tricks, and smiles like an innocent child.

I bet his question was deliberate.

You, you, you, be honest. It was because it’s been a while since Carlos and I met, right?

“Where’s the team leader?… Isn’t it too far?“

“That’s alright. There’s still teleport which connects us right away. Besides, we have so much time to choose our lunch, so why not go there and greet him?”

“Ah, if Ishid likes it, it would be fine for me too.”

I put my hope on Meichel, who frowned for a while, but all my hopes were gone when I heard her response.

It was only yesterday when Meichel confessed to Carlos saying that she was interested in him, but he fell in love with me with no conscience of accepting Meichel’s affection….

With Meichel’s blushing face, Meichel completed her plan. And now, it’s her turn to persuade Manager Dice.

There was no choice.

It was clear that I was thrown to the go-stop board where I should hit everything.

“That’s a good opinion. The First Prince, no, how lonely was the team leader? It’s already been three days since he left the hospital in a hurry.….”

“Right? Honestly, I wonder when I’ll be using teleports if not then.”

“Haha. Come to think of it, you didn’t use teleport except for Ms. Lutiens during the last competition, right?”

“Yes. Please tell us a story on your way. I’m curious.”

They then naturally departed from the office. Following the flow of conversation, manager Dice and Ishid began to take friendly steps.

“Oh my, let’s go together!”

Of course, Meichel was busy following behind Ishid.

If that’s the case, then I’ll be the one who stays alone and eats nothing.

“….”

I looked out the window while drinking the rest of my tea.

It was a sunny day.

The sunlight was moderate, the wind blowing through the window frame was cool, and it was a perfect day to work outside.

‘Carlos must be working out for the executive for three days.’

The focus of her eyes were slightly blurred.

Oh, I’m doomed. I’m doomed.

Time fizzled after that in the hospital, but she couldn’t avoid it.

It was complicated, but there was no specific solution. It doesn’t mean that a person’s heart is determined, means it knows where he or she is headed.

Shouldn’t we just get along well during the grace period and then break up…?

I haven’t answered him yet, so I’ll just flirt with him a little bit……?

“Wait, whatever I do, it’s like trash.”

But what should I do? I’m not ready yet! My heart is not ready!

Ready! Ready re-…!

“Rose.”

While desperately shouting in her head, Ishid peeked into the door and stuck his head out.

“If you don’t come, you’ll be in big trouble. What about salad pasta instead of meat…?”

“No, I’ll protect the meat.”

“Okay. Hurry up and come here.”

Let’s postpone our choice for now. My motivation starts with rice!
