Surviving As The Protagonist
Chapter 13: The real antagonist?
After hearing the Crown Prince's plea, the girl seemed to be fixated for quite a while, then she tilted her head, her current smile appearing to feel hollow.
“Why are you suddenly different?” tanyanya did not understand.
“Didn't Lucy change too?” ask Reygan.
Lucy also displayed a beautiful smile on her face, “I changed because I have given up on Your Majesty's attitude, you have always been cold to me. You never reply to a letter I send, you never visit me, you don't even want to be my partner when you attend a party, you never even return my greetings, and I am also tired of my life that continues to follow you.” complained the girl with a flat look.
“So, the reason for your attitude is different for one year is because of me, yes.” shimmied while turning your eyes.
‘Lantas who else? ( ⁇ ° ⁇ ⁇ ⁇ °)’
“I am tired of saying love to you every day.” he continued again with a face that looks lethargic.
“Then, do you now stop loving me?” suddenly tanyanya.
“....”
Lucy didn't answer, she was just silent. ‘Lucy never stops loving you.’ cleanly while immersing his face in the palm of the hand.
“Do you behave like this so that I don't leave you?” he asked spontaneity, and the young man now looked at him fixedly, his expression slightly decreased, “What is my feeling still not conveyed?” his question is disappointed. “Comparable delivered, for me this is a change that is too sudden, because previously you showed a different reaction.” he said while awakening.
“It was evening Your Majesty, let me return.” he said as he greeted. And the young man only smiled smirkingly while nodding. The girl took a step forward, then a sentence was heard in her ear. “I'm sorry Lucy.” is shrinking at a distance that is almost eroding, the girl is listening to her words but she has no intention of stopping her steps, the young man could only silently stare at the nanar along with the girl's back that was getting away.
‘So what's wrong with him? What should I do Lucy. Give me a hint.’ her inner worry.
...***...
The bright day has changed..
This morning after finishing breakfast, Lucy's routine is now changed by looking for books in the royal library. The royal library was opened freely, but only nobles were allowed to enter it. Of course in this library is not allowed to contain books/state secret documents. Only filled with general books such as history, general knowledge and others.
His not-so-high body forced him to reach for a book that caught his eye, and indeed the location of the book was on the top shelf. His tiny hand thrashed upwards but the book was still untouchable. “Uh... is very high.” lamented the distress.
Suddenly someone grabbed the book for her, and the girl only reacted in surprise when she received it. “I'm sorry for my disrespect Miss.” he said as he reached out to the book. “Ah, Sir. I think you are waiting outside.” weaned the girl while receiving her book entitled ‘History of the Eternal Witch of the Kingdom of Garfield.’
“No.. I listened to you need help, then I came to help you.” softly with a difficult to interpret gaze.
Degs..
‘Library of this size, how can-’
His murmur stopped when he thought of one thing, Lucy thought when the man fell in love with her.
But if you think about it, Crylo Emillo is a sword master, where with a certain distance, he can hear or feel the presence of someone.
So then.. ‘Reason she could save Lucy in the woods because it was yes.’
‘I understand. So all this time he knew the cry, the words of Lucy, and everything behind the barrier wall called the guardian knight.’ waftingly while smiling bitterly.
The girl nodded, and she chuckled little. “Alright Sir, thank you.” he said sincerely.
“Then let's go back.” he said accompanied by the knight's nod.
He set foot to leave the library, but his steps suddenly came to a halt when a striking red-haired girl came against him.
“His cup Miss Lucy is interested in opening a witch yes.” he said loudly, the entire library and librarians are now turning their attention to her. Did he intentionally create a situation like this?
The girl was silent to observe the situation, did the girl who lived ‘Sheyra Chevelle’ intend to corner her as a dark magician?
‘Oho.’
It seems that Sir Emillo will interfere, but Lucy immediately stops her steps. Lucy's response was simply to smile gracefully. “How can a Princess Baron roam the royal library like this.” he said softly, but impressed demeaningly.
Degs..
The girl's face flushed red, “How can you talk about this status.. uhk! You act like Crown Princess only!” murkanya don't like it.
‘Lho.. He is the protagonist, why is his attitude as embarrassing as this?’ inner wonder.
“Of course I dare to talk about status, because you who are only a Baron Princess do not understand ethics properly, this sacred royal library is a quiet and peaceful place, and the, but you even speak loudly without shame.” he said in a calm tone.
Degs..
“A-what?!” nervous as he retreated, the library visitor who contained several nobles now began to whisper about him.
“I didn't expect that kind-hearted Miss was acting like that.”
“I never liked him, he just tried to take the sympathy of the people.”
“Look at Miss Lucy, she always acts calm.”
”Ouh? I did not expect Miss Sheyra who did not follow etiquette well, how did the baron master teach her huh?”
All sorts of whispers made the girl grimace, snapping her teeth quite clearly in Lucy's eyes even though the baron girl just kept her head down. ‘What exactly is that antagonist of yours?’ his murmur was accompanied by a satisfied smile.
“For also Miss Chevelle, I picked up the history book of the immortal witch because I was studying the history of the kingdom of Garfield as the future queen of the future, today my teacher did not come to teach, so I took the initiative to learn on my own. Because I was busy, I resigned.” he said while leaving Sheyra.
“Wah.. Miss Lucy very diligent.”
“Don't we call her Princess?”
Hearing the whispers made Lucy smile on her side, eventually little by little she could change her image.
As he stepped past Sheyra, he heard a word that his mouth said quietly, as if the girl was mumbling something strange.
‘Why is he acting like that?!’
“Hm.. I didn't hear wrong right?” it's getting away.
And with his details, Sir Emillo replied “No, Miss.” behind him.
‘Ha, this is getting interesting, Sheyra. Did Lucy's antagonist role start at this time? Or.’
‘It is fitting that the role is in your hands?’
Although people see that Sheyra is just a protagonist who is full of wounds, but in the eyes of Lucy is an antagonist who grabs her lover.
Right no? If she is a woman of knowledge, she may not want to be in a relationship with a man who already has an engaged status, if she has been commemorated by her fiance, the man, then he should have realized himself and left.
Unlike Sheyra, he served the man's wishes and openly love in front of other nobles, until the rumor reached Lucy's ears.
‘If not mistaken, this novel takes reference from a real story. What true?!’
He shook his head disapprovingly, ‘That happened at this time even too deviated from his novel, what-no?! Lest this is the true story, right. the novel was ‘take’ reference.. from antiquity.’.
”Yeah, the classic story of the European country. Just a small history.” murmured while assuming.
Straight away..
If you think about more details, what if in fact ‘Sheyra who wants Crown Prince’ and not ‘Crown Prince who wants Sheyra.’
“Many are suspicious.” riled up while biting her lips, the girl looks anxious.
“Sir Emillo, do you want to grant my command.” he said while stopping the step.
“Sure Miss.” answered while nodding.
The girl stared sideways with her flat face. ‘He is indeed my knight, but he has not yet sworn his knight to Lucy because the process of entry into the palace is arguably too sudden. If not wrong he will say that when the palace hunt is held later.’
“Alright, find out the origin of Sheyla Chevalle in full.” her orders with a serious face. The man just closed his grout and nodded.
“Good Miss.”
‘If he hasn't yet said the knight oath to me, it means he could not keep any secrets I have.’
Well then, Marki let's see what the future will be like.
