I Don’t Want To Be the Main Character

76. Day Four, Arwen Nosferatu (4)

1.

A blind spot in the palace where few people come and go.

If it were the main palace where the emperor resided, many people would come and go, from guards to attendants and maids.

That’s why the figure of Arwen, crouching in her familiar darkness, nervously biting her fingernails, was not noticed by others.

Until Silpia came, who was suspicious of the sudden flow of magical power within the palace.

“Reel.”

As soon as Sylfia saw Arwen with a sad expression, she hesitated.

At the level of Sylphia, she could easily grasp all the magic occurring within the imperial palace.

Thanks to that, I was wondering why the sudden teleportation magic that could break through the strict boundaries unique to the imperial palace occurred, and I was about to start walking.

“Why are you so desperate here? Even if someone hides in fear that he is not a bat, he is always hiding in a corner like this.”

“……The lizard b*tch.”

Arwen’s frowning gaze turned her head to her Sylpia.

Dragon, the strongest creature on earth, and Jinjo, called the king of all vampires.

Even so, the two were on bad terms, to the point of mercilessly degrading each other as ‘lizard’ or ‘bat’, but now the situation was a bit special.

Arwen wasn’t frowning at her in anger because of her Sylphia, her Sylphia was simply snooping around wondering what had happened.

“Why, tell Rudrick ‘I really hate Arwen!’ Did you hear the same thing? It’s not like that, but why are you squatting here and being a nuisance?”

“……Similar.”

“Eh…?”

A frog is killed by an inadvertently thrown stone.

Sylphia’s casually uttered words left a scar on Arwen’s heart more clearly than any harsh words she’d ever spoken while bickering with each other.

Although Arwen didn’t hear that from Rudrick himself, it was easy to predict what would happen next.

Is it because the words that came out of Arwen’s mouth were unexpected?

Sylpia’s eyebrows went up, then nodded her head as if begging her to say more.

“……That’s it.”

Arwen, who was hesitant about whether it was okay to talk to Sylpia, who could be said to be a rival, soon opened her mouth.

Because she thought that revealing her embarrassing side to Sylpia was better than ending up hated by Rudrick.

When Arwen started to talk about what had happened during the night with a very serious expression, Sylpia’s expression on her face became serious as well.

“Hmm, hmmm…”

Sylphea’s expression, which had been silently listening to Arwen’s story with this and that chuimsae, at some point began to be stained with astonishment.

And after she finally explained her whole story.

“All, all, all, all, you…”

“…….”

“Are you crazy?!”

The pronunciation leaked a little from embarrassment, but neither of them had the time to pay attention to such trivial things.

“……This is how things turned out. There’s no other way to describe it than my negligence. I didn’t expect the magical arrangement to be disturbed while I was sleeping.”

“No, it’s okay to sleep in the same bed. But it has to be in the form of a cat. When the magic is lifted, it’s just sleeping in the same bed!”

“Wouldn’t Rudric allow that far…. That’s why it was a car that deepened his sorrow. At this rate, surely…”

“It’s clear and nabal!”

Sylpia with an exasperated expression reached out and grabbed Arwen by the collar.

And just like a spinner squeezing water out of the laundry, he grabbed Arwen by the collar and shook it.

Thanks to that, his suit, which he always wore neatly and neatly, was terribly crumpled.

“You hit something I haven’t done yet?! Are you crazy really?!”

“……Isn’t that what’s important?”

“It doesn’t matter! In ten years, no, eight years to be exact, I’ve only occasionally imagined it and never put it into practice!”

“Ha…?”

Right after Sylfia finished her words, Arwen laughed as if she was full of energy, and then, with a cold expression, thumped the hand that was holding her by the collar and shook it away.

“As expected, since the foundation was low, did you have such shady imaginations alone behind the scenes?”

A look of contempt.

Sylphia flinched because she was so envious that she inadvertently revealed her true intentions, but soon raised her voice without losing.

“I don’t want to listen to someone who slept after dissolving the magic because I thought this was the moment while pretending to be a pet.”

“That, that’s…! It’s not intentional, it’s a mistake!”

“How does anyone know if it was a mistake or if it was a mistake? It’s none of my business, right?”

“…You’re all wrong. You’ll surely be hated. I don’t know why you made such a mistake.”

It’s a little hard to describe as justification, but for now, Arwen is at fault.

There was no need to argue with each other for a long time, and Seung-gi quickly passed over to Sylphia.

‘…… Certainly this is not normal.’

Even if ‘nothing’ happened between the two, the fact that a man and a woman slept in the same bed was already enough for her to rise and fall in someone else’s room.

Unless you are an idiot, it is a fact that you can know that there is nothing good if this fact spreads.

Sylphia, who instantly changed her expression, said in a low voice, as if the quarrel with Arwen just now had been a lie.

“Don’t go around talking nonsense. What happened between you and Ludrick.”

“…….”

“Is there anything you can do to stop the innocent bachelor wedding by spreading strange rumors?

“……I know.”

“I don’t like it. The fact that Rudric goes up and down in the cubicles of insignificant people for no reason. You know what I mean?”

“The same goes for me.”

“Okay, that makes sense. Then behave yourself.”

Leaving those words behind, Sylpia turned her body around without any regrets.

The important thing now is to slowly observe how Rudrick reacts. Sylphia, who could be said to have been slandered by vulgar words two days ago, was already in a state of uneasiness.

Arwen’s absurd mistake in such a situation was that she took her test subject instead of herself.

‘I was lucky.’

The corners of Sylphia’s mouth went up slightly as she turned around.

‘Well, if the two of them put their heads together, something sharp might come out…… You don’t have to do that, do you?’

As Sylphia thought, the two were rivals fighting over one man anyway.

There was no reason for Silfia to help.

Arwen was still squatting in despair with a dark expression in admiration, but she was not, to use her expression, Sylpia’s ‘album’.

2.

“I’m already aware of what kind of cute tricks Kyung has done. No, it would be a bit strange to say it’s a trick here. Shall we correct what kind of deviations Kyung has done?”

“I’m sorry, Her Highness, this old man doesn’t know what Your Highness is talking about…”

“You can’t cover the sky with the palm of your hand.”

After muttering, Elena sat down on Lorenzo’s desk with her hips draped over her cheeks.

Even the world’s court mage, if Elena, the 2nd princess, came out like this, she had no way to respond. She couldn’t even yell at her to get out like she was treating someone below her.

Lorenzo, who had already fallen for Eileen’s conciliation, broke into a cold sweat, but Elena smiled softly with an expression that did not know what she was thinking.

“There was something I realized, so I cut off contact for a while and started intensive training… Well, it’s a plausible excuse from the physiology of magicians.”

“…….”

“But if there is something wrong with you, the problem is that you judged Rudric-kun as a mere wizard. His way of thinking is a little different from that of an ordinary wizard.”

“……I don’t know what Your Highness is talking about.”

“Well, to put it simply, understand that the moment you heard the story, you grasped the whole picture. If you were a gentleman, you might think it’s plausible, but for me, it was that bad.”

Lorenzo hardened.

The princess in front of her already knew everything. In reality, she came to a conclusion by grasping the situation at once with Elena’s unique bright brain and her eight years of experience before her return.

At least Lorenzo couldn’t figure out that she was actually just pressing with bluffs without any hard evidence.

Even to drive a wedge, Elena said leisurely.

“How much did Kyung buy?”

“Your Highness!”

“I know you don’t have to raise your voice that much. You must have received a shiny gold coin as a gift from your cousin as a silence fee. Under the pretext of providing research funds.”

The sullen Lorenzo raised her voice, but there was no way Elena, the second princess of the Esgeland Empire, would not even notice Eileen’s movements.

Elena smiled.

While making a circle with her fingers.

“I heard that there has been recent progress in the research that the Lord has been conducting to explore the truth. Starting with the magic circle needed to open the door to the source… Honestly, the imperial palace’s budget alone will be tight, so I won’t be blaming you. “

“Haona…”

“Well, I didn’t stick a knife in my back, so there’s no need to shrink like that.”

A giggling Elena held out her irresistible offer.

“No matter how much her cousin gave me, I’ll double the research budget. And I’ll give it all to you as a lump sum.”

“This, a lump sum payment…!”

“And beyond that ‘door’ created by Kyung, so please ignore all the anomalies that are occurring because of that research. It’s literally just a strange phenomenon, and it doesn’t cause any damage to those around you.”

“……Did you know, Her Highness the Princess?”

“One piece of advice, whatever you see beyond that, don’t indulge yourself too much.”

Elena pulled out an unmarked checkbook from her bosom.

From now on, blank checks are literally worth the amount you write down.

Elena asked to confirm.

“What is the annual budget your cousin gave you?”

“……50,000 Ducats a year.”

“Then this should be enough for this year.”

First write down 1, followed by five zeroes. It was a scene where a large sum of money of 100,000 ducats was exchanged at once and casually.

Asked Elena, who had even scrawled her signature in her elegant handwriting, tore up her checkbook and handed it to Lorenzo.

“So where is Rudrick-kun?”

“……I understand that today is the last day. Then maybe by now.”

“I knew it.”

Whoops.

Elena let out a soft laugh and stood up as if her business was over.

She was Elena, who stormed off like a storm, but Lorenzo did not dare to blame the royal family, or even her princess.

In a way, she betrayed Eileen and sided with Elena, but in fact, Lorenzo is originally a person who is classified as a pro-princess faction.

Furthermore, decisively.

It was too much money to turn down Elena’s offer.

If the truth of magic is the world beyond the source, then the truth of the world is money.

Lorenzo, who has been conducting long-term research with other people’s money, believed that way.

It was the wizard’s sadness.
