Chapter 84

“The prince is smiling right now.”

“I was smiling because it was ridiculous.”

“Anyway, you’re smiling.”

In a year’s time much of the time would have already passed. But the important thing is that there are still many more days left.

“You have to smile a lot. That’s how you get healthy.”

Saying that as a joke, I looked at Nicholas.

In a matter of a few days, his appearance had changed significantly.

It changed from a cold atmosphere to a more relaxed atmosphere.

‘Nicolas, how was he in the original story? Has he ever smiled once as a child?’

He only read books every day, but when he grew up, he became an emperor and was stuck only at work…

He must have been a little happier after being married to the female lead, Alice.

‘But at least in this life with me, I want everyone to laugh happily. I have to make it that way. Definitely.’

Because of this, I had no choice but to make a promise to do so again.

And finally, a week has passed since the secret friend was pulled.

Therefore, today is the day to announce the secret friend.

“Then! Please come out in turn, say the name of the secret friend you picked, and announce the good deeds you have done to the secret friend over the past week.”

With Mrs. Edmond’s voice, Princess Ninaina came forward first.

Ninaina cleared her voice loudly and opened her mouth.

“My secret friend was Cedric, as you all know. And I gave him a dagger made by the best swordsmith of the imperial family as a gift.”

It was a fact everyone knew.

After speaking, Ninaina returned to her place with a rotten smile, as if she remembered the embarrassment at that time.

‘Yes, no matter what you say, doing good deeds with money rather than your heart is the best, Your Highness!’

I cheered for Ninaina inside.

Just then, I saw Alice standing up and coming out.

‘Who is it?’

I don’t think there’s been anyone who has been particularly good to Alice over the past week.

Oh, of course, she was still proud of her close friendship with me.

Of course, my secret friend was Nicholas, so it didn’t matter.

“My, my secret friend… was Lord Jake.”

Oh. Was it Jake?

This was a bit surprising.

“And I did a good deed to Lord Jake by giving him a special seat next to Emir for a week.”

When Alice finished speaking, the classroom roared.

I was also perplexed.

Ah, no, is that what you call a good deed?

“No wonder, it was. Thank you for your kindness. Lady Alice.”

But Jake, why are you saying thank you again! They look a little weird!

While I was stunned, Alice was followed by Jake.

“My secret friend was the princess. I gave the princess a magic fan as a gift.”

According to Jake, the magic fan is something that automatically flutters and flutters, even without someone to flutter it.

‘But the attendants will always be by Ninaina’s side.’

I was a little puzzled, but it was a fan that Ninaina really liked. So when she replied, I was convinced.

And Cedric.

“My secret friend was Alice, and every time we went to kindergarten, I brought a bunch of specially soft cushions and put them on the carriage seats we rode with!”

Cedric exclaimed with a very proud look.

Then Alice muttered in surprise.

“…I almost misunderstood. Actually, it was difficult to sit on the seat because the cushions were so high. I thought Lord Cedric was being mean on purpose… Sorry for the misunderstanding!”

Cedric had a good idea, but it seems that he lacked consideration.

And this time it was Nicholas’ turn.

“My secret friend was Lady Emir , and during the week I did many good deeds to her. I also wrote letters and played with the Lady, who was bored.”

Hmmm, it seems that something is a bit misleading? Playing with me! On the contrary, it was the other way around!

And finally I announced.

“My secret friend was His Highness Nicholas. I also wrote a handwritten letter to His Highness, and helped him to smile.”

“It’s a little too much to say that you helped.”

Nicholas shrugged his shoulders.

Why not! It’s a good deed!

* * *

So the week’s secret friend game came to an end.

In the meantime, there was something interesting that made me curious.

Still, the results of the secret friend’s announcement were quite unexpected.

And there was another incident that was built around the same time as the secret friend.

“Done!”

“Wah, it’s finally over!”

Even I forgot about it for a moment, but that was Alice and Cedric’s knitting competition.

What was the result?

What a surprising coincidence, the two finished two pairs of socks almost simultaneously at the end of lunch break.

“Huh? Are you done too? My God!”

“…Lord Cedric seems to have just finished everything.”

And when they saw each other, they were shocked.

And not long after, Alice and Cedric came to me to judge the outcome.

“Lady Emir, please let me win!”

“What! Insisting isn’t everything. The winner is me. Right?”

Haa, what are we going to do?

Who should I pick as the winner?

‘Wait, I figured out a way to please both of them!’
