Before he could say anything back, I continued talking.
“It’s ridiculous that someone who can see things from a bird’s-eye view still hates his brother. There are many ways to rule a country. If neither of you can give up the throne in any way, you can engage in distributive politics or something…. Anyway, please grow up soon, prince.”
He appeared to be on the verge of exploding with rage earlier, but he seemed to calm down when he saw me talking to him casually.
It would be a shame for him to fail in this area when he is capable of problem-solving.
Victor could improve even more.
But if I said that, he would probably get angry again and say, “Who are you to say that to me?”.
“You mean I should be more tolerant of him?”
“Well, that’s the simple answer.”
I responded with a smile.
Vian was the type of person who hides his feelings inside, but Victor was the complete opposite. He was ambitious and willing to drag everyone around him.
“But, well, now that you’re back with me, I guess I can relax for a while.”
“Oh, I’m going to look for Maddie today.”
“Today? When did you decide?”
Victor shouted, to which I calmly replied, “Just now”.
I wanted to find Maddie and save Rio as soon as possible. I had to decide and act quickly.
“Now?… What if I told you that I’m coming with you?”
“I don’t care whether you come or not.”
“You’re really not a cute little fellow, are you?”
He looked down at me with a little twitch in his cheeks.
When Victor tried to flirt with me, I hated it. I was the type of person who despised pretentious young ladies who only wanted to approach me.
“All right. Now get ready to leave.”
He said and sighed.
“Eh, are you sure you want to join me?”
“I’m sure I can take care of other things when I get back.”
I could imagine the people around Victor having a hard time.
“Oh, and can I take one of the boys with me?”
“Will that help?”
Victor gave me a skeptical look, to which I replied, “Yes,” with a light smile.
“Well, if he’s someone you trust, I’m sure it’s all right.”
Oh, that was very kind of him to say.
To be trusted by the prince of the Ravaal Kingdom… Victor was a good judge of character!
“What are you grinning at? That’s creepy.”
…I’d like to take back what I said before.
“Oh, what do we say to those old men?”
Only Victor could call them old men.
“Why don’t you just say we’re going on another expedition?”
“…I’m sure they’ll miss you. They like having you around, you know. It certainly is nice to be loved, no matter where you go.”
Victor’s words surprised me.
I never thought I would be so well-liked by the old men, especially my grandfather… What a happy path I was on. I was so glad to be exiled.
“But having the nature of being well liked sounded like the traits of a saint.”
When I said this with disapproval, Victor immediately responded, “You are far from what I would consider a saint.”.
“Really?”
My delighted voice confused Victor a little. I was sure he meant it as a sarcastic remark.
“That’s the best compliment I could get!”
“Weird guy …You were more like a wise man than a saint, this guy.”
In my joy, I didn’t hear what Victor said.
I just knew I was on my way to becoming a villainess!
