Surviving As The Protagonist

Chapter 27: The Conflict

The main hall looked noisy about to whisper the invited guests to him. The emerald girl appeared to display a bright smile while pulling her dress and greeting the Crown Prince who was a special guest for her there.

“Welcome Your Highness.” she said really gracefully. Her net blinked slowly while looking at her.

“This is an honor for me, thank you for taking your busy time to attend this seedy party of my manhood.” he said in a voice that seemed to hypnotize them, her soft voice really calmed the heart and mind.

While the brother only greeted next to him intending to accompany the sister.

Lucy just stared at him sharply, seedy she said? Then what does this mean, why did the woman just greet His Majesty and ignore her who was beside him?

“No problem.” The man seemed to reply with an ordinary look. Soon they had a light conversation with only formal pleasantries.

Until an idea came to his mind, he put on a pitiful face while standing beside the Crown Prince, his head bowed as if saddened by his neglected feelings. All eyes that were fixed on him started gossiping as they pleased.

“See, they may assume Lady Barayev is not there.”

“True, how could Miss Sheyra only greet the Crown Prince.”

“Not the rumor about His Majesty ignoring Miss Lucy is true?”

“Entah, he said there was a scandal also about the relationship of His Majesty and Miss Sheyra.”

“Lady The poor.”

“Hahaha.”

The place was getting more and more noisy accompanied by rumors of nobles, his eyes were rounded greatly when the damn nobles were pitying him instead. Who are you guys? The question that was planted in his mind. But this is better than her being stamped as a torturer who does not accept her being taken.

Now he felt confused while staring at the two humans. Why are these people so cool in talking? Padahl this scene has not been separated in the novel, so what about the two of them? It was as if the whispers of the nobles did not reach the ears of the two of them.

‘Sheyra? Did he really not care about his increasingly bad reputation? Her Majesty? Isn't that enough formal pleasantry?!’

There was endless Lucy to grumble them inwardly, she felt she had to take action immediately, otherwise her arrival today would have been for nothing.

“Rey?” his call that was completely ignored by him.

Now Lucy clasps Reygan's wrist and calls out her name aloud. “Rey!” call him again the entag why it looks really upset right now.

“You forgot me? I am still next to His Majesty lho~” he said with a look of gloomy face.

Degs..

The reaction of the man was quite strange, his gaze was now a little empty with his body pecking for a moment, a second later he looked into his eyes with a face that looked fresher than before.

Surprisingly when Lucy's finger came into contact with the back of her hand, Reygan's body seemed jolted like a bee stung.

“Lucy…. Sorry I forgot Lucy, but Lucy really shines like this.”, he said, kissing the back of his hand.

“Eh?” It was a bit amazing for him, but now he could feel Rean's change with his own eyes.

Isn't this a little dejavu with dreams? Again he saw the eyeball, he thought hard, is he the only one who can see this awkwardness?

Currently, the ruby iris appears to be filled with fog that has faded when their skin comes into contact. Strangely, the change in eye color is always accompanied by his changing attitude.

Who is that girl, actually? What has he done to her? Why does Reygan look like it's just that girl's crazy with him?

“Eng— His Highness when dan—” his speech is now cut off Lucy firmly.

“Nona Sheyra, isn't this too long? As a good etiquette, you should go around and greet all invited guests, right?” lucy asked with a bright smile like an angel. Lucy seemed so calm when addressing Sheyra's disrespectful attitude.

“I'm sorry Miss~ This is because I am too happy to talk to Your Majesty, hihi,” he said with a fingers touching his cheek as if he was feeling shy.

‘You seriously want to be this blatant?’ Lucy was grieving in her heart. He was disgusted by Sheyra's behavior.

“Aduh~ I became sad, even though I had tried to come to the Miss party, but Miss instead did not welcome my arrival.” he said with a sad look.

Lucy's words successfully made both of Sheyra's eyebrows wrinkled, the corner of her lips seemed to be raised to display a slanted smile. It seemed like this time Sheyra thought that she would humiliate Lucy in front of everyone.

“I can't possibly welcome guests who come without an invitation letter, xixi.” With a humbling look.

Deg.

Suddenly the atmosphere turned silent, what was this? hearing Sheyra's words, Dominique's face turned deathly pale. He seemed to whisper to Sheyra, “What are you doing stupid?!” the whisper that somehow still sounds.

“I mean Lady Barayev came without an invitation letter?”

“It seems so, but he is the Crown Prince's partner, isn't that okay?”

“But not embarrassing huh? Come to the party without invitation letter.”

“Stay, Miss Sheyra is very disrespectful, when she only invited Her Majesty while her lover was not invited? He's just looking for attention, right?”

“So also he ignored Lady Barayev when she was right in front of him.”

Whispers are increasingly heard in their ears, although this is only a trivial problem, but success raises pros and cons between them. At least with this, Lucy can find out with anyone who is on her side.

While the character who became the conversation was only silent with the voice of his heart that screamed with satisfaction.

“I did not get an invitation letter. But I heard from His Majesty that you asked him to be your partner huh, Is this true?” ask him with pressure. His antagonist-like aura suddenly emanated from his body, his gripping gaze enough to make one not to dwell before him.

Dominique only patted his head when he heard the actions of his sister who was fairly reckless.

‘This is what you want? Lucy is sharp as a sword? Lucy's acting like an antagonist? Unfortunately you will not see the evil female character who behaves haphazardly like your stupid imagination, because I am not Lucy.’ he said with a satisfied look.

‘Hey, the self-styled protagonist. Can I teach you how to be a real antagonist?’ ask in the mind.

Being an antagonist is to be calm with the control rope in his grasp. It looks fragile and injured, but everything can be controlled without having to dirty your own hands.

‘Not even to attack blatantly like a fool like this. Your way is too cliche, Sheyra.’ exclaimed, there is no stopping Lucy to shower the girl with ridicule and mockery in her heart.

Circumstances increasingly turned to blame himself, his face began to look panicked, immediately he let out his mainstay style. “Miss Lucy, honestly I am afraid to invite you, because previously Miss poured wine in my head.” he said accompanied by tears. After that he wiped his tears and acted like a victim.

“But Miss came like this, even uninvited, I was really moved. If it is like this, I will forgive Miss without taking issue with it again,” he continued with a friendly laugh. No, the corner of his lips revealed a cynical smile.

‘Ha~ he brought up the problem huh? Your image is getting worse Sheyra. Really shallow thinking.’ His brown netra was now staring.

While Sheyra seemed to laugh as if she felt she had turned things around.

Reygan who wants to interfere undo his intentions when Lucy grasps tightly his fingers as if forbidding him to do something.

“Ah~ because it is. That's because Miss was disrespectful to me~ when it was my maturity party, everyone came and was grateful for my recovery. But—” he seems to stop his speech. Now the look on her face turned gloomy as if she was hurt and disappointed by Sheyra's actions towards her.

“Can Miss swam around to greet the invited guests in a white dress, before I even appeared there?” his question was what the meaning of his actions, his attitude at that time was indeed somewhat shameless.

“It was like Miss who wanted to be the main star at the event that was in the title for me. Though it was a party of my maturity, but Miss even ruined the atmosphere.” he said with a sharp look. This time the one who smiled was satisfied was himself. While the girl just stammered feeling overwhelmed to respond to his attitude.

“Ugh! At that time I was just—”

“Quite Miss Sheyra, stop acting disrespectful to my fiancee.” Reygan who felt that he could not stand it anymore now sharply denounced it.

The look in his eyes actually implied a sense of hatred towards him. The tight grip of his hand was also currently still clinging, as if he did not want to let go.

“Tacto said?”

“Didn't the rumor say that the Crown Prince insisted on not acknowledging their betrothal?”

“Entah, yesterday also I saw him dating in the capital.”

“Nona Sheyra seems to glorify her relationship with her who is not even sure?”

“That woman is indeed too confident. She's not a witch like Miss Barayev. Where might be able to rise caste so queen because of the pretext of love.”

“Fft..”

“Hahahah!”

The whisper filled Sheyra's head, the opinion about her was not a joke. The reason the nobles were present to his party was also indeed just because to watch a showdown like this. That's why the girl made up her mind to attend this event even though she was actually lazy, because of what she knew, where Sheyra and Lucy met face to face. A dispute will surely occur between them.

Baron Chevelle seemed to be bluffing loudly when he noticed his shameful daughter, he who was also talking to other nobles seemed to turn his face and then leave the hall.

“And if I were Crown Princess, you would all not dwell in front of me.” muttered the girl slowly. His hands clenched loudly a sign that he was angry.

After all if thought about, Lucy's current image was really as if she understood Sheyra not even a bad thought to take revenge on her.

If Lucy is indeed that bad, maybe at this time she will come to attend her party wearing a shining white dress and grab all the attention of invited guests to her.

But in reality, she instead came wearing a beautiful sapphire-colored dress as if to show her existence which is a royal family.

In comparison, Miss Lucy is very mature, isn't she? Think the nobles are there.

Then if you look back, is not the insolent Sheyra itself?

‘Your eyes that look at me with hatred are not easy to hide loh~ are you upset because my dropping plan is not in accordance with your expectations?’ rica in the heart.

Lucy's face seemed to sparkle with happiness which at this time even misunderstood that she would smile kindly.

“Anu— A Muli—”

“Already! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Lady Barayev. Sorry for my sister's disrespect, she's just an innocent woman who has just reached adulthood.” Dominique said while bowing her body. It's okay, this is indeed commonplace for nobles to have a higher status.

“Ennyah.” Reygan only replied to her with a word, yet her sharp aura completely intimidated him. He immediately pulled Sheyra's wrist and took her away under the pretext of greeting the other invited guests.

‘Mau Lucy or the Crown Prince, they are indeed a terrible couple.’ Inner Dominique while gulping her saliva.

Reygan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, now he looked at Lucy fixedly, before long he kissed her forehead gently. “Sorry yes,” he said suddenly.

“Sorry?” The girl with the blonde mane was just staring with a question mark face, rather she apologized for what?

“Whatever happens, when I'm near the woman. Lucy just needs to hold my hand.”
