Surviving As The Protagonist

Chapter 51: Assumptions

The Men had gone hunting leaving this arena, all that was left at the moment were a few guarding knights as well as the noble Lady enjoying the event while drinking tea. While Her Majesty the King seemed to have returned early leaving Riana up there. It means there's something with his health condition isn't it?

But— does not this further prove that His Majesty is not healthy..

No matter what, Lucy now sits sweetly and drinks tea at a round table. There were Federica, Silvhia, and 3 others. There are not many tables here. But why should she sit at the same table with him.

Indeed, due to last year's incident, the table was changed with 1 table to 6 people. Actually this will only make it easier for those who have groups among the nobles to sit down and talk together.

But...why did Lucy sit with Sheyra until she was poisoned?

Not to Lucy, Sheyra is the usurper of her lover..

But what is this situation?

“Anu— Lady Sheyra, why do you want to sit with us?” the girl asked strangely, she was Gracia Thanderbelt. The daughter of Marquess Thanderbelt, who was part of the Lady of the nobility, led by Princess Federica Halstead.

“True, do you not know shy?” ask Rebeca Lower. The daughter of Count Lower, who is engaged to Geralt Emillo.

The connection Federica built was really good. Federica is also a flower in high-class gatherings. It would be nice if Lucy could be a part of them.

Rebeca Lower is engaged to Geralt, the brother of Sir Crylo Emillo. He was surprised not to play.

Lady is the Duches candidate, right? That was if Geralt became the successor of the Duke family. Too bad she's engaged to a guy from the family who has rumors of a slave trade. But his face seemed to know nothing, but indeed this news was only still known by His Majesty and his spies.

“Lady-lady is too cold to me. I just want to do this show well. Is there no place for me here?” he said with a sad face, he looked sad when treated like this by the Lady.

After all this, he was still trying to find sympathy? Very amusing. Think and use your other ways. Really cheap tricks.

But ever since Lucy whispers the word magic to her, Lucy somehow feels that Sheyra is actually clinging to her. Though he only wanted to test the woman who was really connected with the dark magician or not, but Sheyra's reaction was the answer.

Although memorable relaxing, but the corner of his eyes directed observing my movements in detail.

“But did Lady not worry if Miss felt traumatized? You will have poisoned Miss Lucy.” Gracia sneer with dislike.

“Again, already know not accepted even to be shameless.” whispered they blatantly.

Lucy dismisses them all in annoyance, their intention instead of sympathizing with the events that have befallen Lucy. Play them just happy because they can annoy someone freely using the pretext of worrying to him.

This group is the same..

It's just that beyond his expectations, Sheyra was still in that place. He was truly formidable with no intention to move to a place of disgrace. One thing he thought was that this was really strange. If Sheyra can make Reygan like her with magic, why don't she just do it to everyone in this place so they're on her side.

Haha~ I don't mind if he wants to sit anywhere. Because I purposely did this to lure him. So. You guys to me are just bait to tease Sheyra.

Although it sucks, just do whatever you want to the girl.

“Uhm.. No problem Lady, let it be. We don't need to muddy up a pleasant atmosphere like this, do we? After all for the events of last year, Miss Sheyra had also been tried by Her Majesty with the appropriate punishment. Maybe he will be deterred, Fft.” timbal Lucy who tried to mediate their commotion, but the impression at the end of him was like holding back a laugh with a condescending look.

“How dare..” murmured that red-spirited woman slowly. If noticed, Sheyra clasped her teacup tightly.

She mad?

Princess Federica Reakssi is now smiling as she keeps her teacup on the table. He nodded in a sign approving of Lucy's words.

“True, Lady is very wise and kindhearted yes.” timpal Federica who will definitely be approved by the three of them.

Right, right now the gaze that felt the most insulting was on Gracia. He seems to be really not like the presence of Sheyra, rather than the young Mistress Sylvhia who is currently with them.

Apparently Sylvhia has blended in well. If you want to be safe, then press Sheyra to replace your target.

“Haha~ Princess praise terlaly excessively~” said Lucy who intends to humble herself.

Lucy is busy with her own thoughts. He thought it was possible that the dark wizard was weak. Like the story in Samantha's book, the Dark Witch can only recover some of her strength because all her remaining power is in the sacred stone stored in the temple.

So Lucy can make the assumption that the dark wizard gave her powers to Sheyra who was allied with her.

One thing that at least makes me relieved, that Sheyra's position is actually weak.

Lucy also comes to think that the incident where Sheyra was rescued by Reygan from the threat of wild animals in the novel, is most likely a made-up tragedy. It could be that what attracted the attention of the beast to attack Sheyra was because of Sheyra's own magic.

Moreover, in the same situation, Lucy's life is also threatened in the forest. But if it follows according to its plot, there is Sir Emillo who will come to save his life.

So all I have to do right now is avoid that incident by not leaving this tea society. Then to avoid the events of Her Majesty, who will go to save Sheyra's life, that is, with me having to hold Sheyra to stay here with me.

If we don't go into the forest, there will be no one among us who will be hurt or saved, right?

Surprisingly..why in the novel Lucy went alone into the forest to meet a big bear huh?

He did not feel traumatized going into the forest, even though he had experienced bad events with Sheyra in the forest..
