Surviving As The Protagonist
Chapter 33: Finney
The party hall looked noisier when he saw Lucy's actions were quite gauze, especially when Dominique rampaged annoyed when she saw her sister's face slapped in public. Thomas looks furious and does not accept the actions of Lucy who is considered to have humiliated his daughter in front of the nobility.
In the end, the man tries to avenge his daughter's slap, but the hand swing stops when Lucy chants a sentence that leaves her feeling numb.
“You dare slap me?” ask with a stressful look.
“Lucy!” gritting the Crown Prince beside him. He looks angry when he sees the actions of Lucy who behaved arrogantly like this, what else his attitude and behavior at this time will certainly be embedded clearly in the memories of those who pay attention to him.
Sheyra's face now only showed a satisfied smile as if saying ‘Stupid’ behind a palm that pretended to cover her sore cheek.
Thomas just looks panicked, “Ugh!” his ringis while throwing his fist in vain. He himself also knew, if he slapped the Crown Princess candidate right now, his noble status could very well end just like that.
Moreover. never underestimate Lucy, after doing research analysis many times, Lucy is the favorite golden child of His Majesty
“Again, I am the official fiance of His Majesty. Do you dare to hurt me? I can accuse you of treason charges, Mr. Baron.” said the girl who is now looking at him with a low gaze.
Soon her clenched hands now touched and tightly grasped Reygan's wrists. Engraved a smile on her face, the blond girl was currently just silent while looking at her face with a fixed gaze. “Yang Mulia.” call it really soft.
The man seemed to reply with a sigh of relief. “Thank you.” he said which shortly afterwards kissed the girl's forehead gently.
Pssh..
“Rey..” his face looks flushed with embarrassment, he just wonders what this is a surefire trick for their relationship will still look harmonious in the eyes of nobles.
“Sorry yes.” said while wiping the top of Lucy's head warmly.
“Look at that, is Your Majesty grateful that Miss Barayev has slapped the woman?” whispers from the nobles.
“Your Majesty! Your fiance's deeds are really brazen, how can—” protests Thomas who was cut off quickly by Reygan.
“Thomas Chevelle, you call my fiance brash?” asked the man in a somber mood. The current gaze was sharp, the ruby iris darkened as it watched Thomas Chevelle in front of it.
The old man's face was now shocked, his hands were trembling. He felt that his life would be threatened if he acted any more than this, that gaze was the most terrifying gaze he had ever seen in his lifetime, immediately prostrating himself before the soles of his feet.
“Ya— Your Majesty! Sa— I didn't mean that! But your fiance has slapped my daughter in her manhood, can I take this humiliation for granted?!” furious Thomas with a body that was still trembling, on the other hand his teeth were bluffing at the sign of great anger.
Fucking kid! He said the Crown Prince would side with him, what is this?! He loves a fiance who he says he hates so much!
“Lucy, at this time let me take care of.” whispered slowly. Lucy only nodded in a sign of understanding, although her heart still felt unexpected by the Crown Prince's current defense.
Lucy's look is pretty, I think it's just a joke in a fantasy world. In fact, His Majesty has never really hated me. He just glanced with his heart that began to open, his gaze now glared sharply as he looked at Sheyra who whined and cried in his arms.
So this is Sheyra? The real criminals. He covered the cheek as if it was swollen, whereas he covered his blistered skin as a result of reacting with the power of my purification magic.
So he was indeed allied with the Dark Witch?
“Your Majesty! How can you say that?!” asked the man did not accept, the look on his face was not so visible because he was looking down as if begging for forgiveness.
At least your mouth does what suits your behavior dong!
“Dad.. heuk..” call him with a broken sob. Whether because of what saw him cry, Reygan now only reacts as usual, he is not so concerned with him anymore.
“Look! My daughter's cheeks are swollen because of you!” hardik The man with his finger pointing towards Lucy.
“Let your hands down if you still feel that your life is precious.” His words were now a warning for the last time. Reygan only felt dislike for Thomas who was just a low-status noble was being rude to his fiancee.
Huft. Lucy just rolled her eyes lazily, now she stepped over to Thomas who was still prostrating in front of her. His face now looked down at the old man who was still pretentious and resisted when his frightened body could not be hidden.
“Please excuse me, Mr. Chevelle. I have been patient with it all this time. But from now on, your beloved spoiled princess continued to disturb my lover aggressively, can you explain what she meant?” his complaints that already look tired to face this dispute.
“Don't I deserve to punish him like this?” asked in a soft voice, Thomas now looks up to see Lucy's face which is currently displaying a thin smile as usual.
A second later, the girl's eyes dropped, showing a stern look at her. “What punishment is still lacking, Baron Chevelle?” sharp with low tone.
“Anu— Miss! Please forgive your mercy, My daughter is just a child who has just reached her maturity. Let me educate him later.” the man who constantly begs for mercy on him. The corner of Lucy's lips is only slightly raised featuring a cynical laugh, suppressed once your fear is not playing. Stop until here dong.
The atmosphere seemed runny, the nobles just did not expect that at the party of Sheyra's maturity there would be chaos until like this. The bustling whisper was now stopped when the Queen of the upper class wanted to open her voice.
He is Federica Halstead who seems to be willing to be a shield for Lucy in front of the nobles. “So the attitude of your Princess who did the first time when she stepped on her adult age is tempting people's lovers?” asked the woman accompanied by a black fan that covered her face.
“Mr Princess.. no! It—”
“I'm disappointed in your daughter, if I see her like this. Your daughter didn't qualify to be part of my society. Sorry Mr. Chevelle, I have to reject your request.” he firmly pitched, before long he left the Ballroom without saying goodbye first.
Bringing a Princess Duke did not disappoint, just because a few broken sentences made Lucy turn around for the better. The views of some nobles who tried to corner Lucy now changed and chose silence. Because they think ‘Princess Duke just to say like that, means Miss Sheyra who is shameless.’
In Lucy's heart, he only snorted for being indebted to her. Even so, his little heart still thanked him for his help. Shortly after this incident he looked at the Crown Prince beside him.
It felt like he could breathe a sigh of relief as he had managed to repair their relationship in front of the nobles.
“Come home Your Majesty.” take her with a relieved smile.
He thought that if all the roots of Lucy's problems with Reygan were just a never-ending misunderstanding, then we should maintain this relationship with better communication. My little heart never stops saying thank you to you, sir, thank you for helping me find the truth behind Sheyra's mask all along.
If Your Majesty's feelings are also sincere to me, at least it's okay if I consider you a home where I can stop by and rest forever?
Soon he smiled warmly while leading him away, “Come...we go home.” invite him filled with a big smile. As if he could hear his heart, he also said things he really wanted to hear right then and there.
