Chapter 277 - A Love Triangle

 

Max quickly walked over to the side of the building where the window to the drawing room was located. He peered in and saw the lady and Frederich having tea.

“Because you are so angry, I have no choice but to offer the Flower of the Underworld’s Goddess to you.” Frederich was suggesting confessing to her publicly.

‘He must have a death wish,’ Max gritted his teeth.

“Lord Elios, we have only met a few times. How could you suddenly say something committed lovers might say to each other? Frankly, I find this absurd.”

Max nodded in agreement. ‘She’s right. I am her lover. How dare he talk nonsense like that…’ The crown prince began to brainstorm ideas on how to slaughter the nobleman at the flirtatious words that followed. Fortunately, Jubelian refused the sweet words without hesitation.

“I’m sorry, Lord Elios. Unfortunately, I am not interested in you.” Max felt his mood improve; he was proud that she was so resolute in her decision. Catching glimpses of his precious lover, Max smiled.

“I understand. This is why I want to take the time to show my strengths.”

“There is no need.”

“There is no use in doing that. I have already made up my mind.”

As if she was displeased by the continued efforts despite her refusal, Jubelian was now frowning. Even her crumpled face was lovely in Max’s eyes. The problem was that he was not the only one who found her charming.

“I will see you at the hunting competition then, my love.”

Max’s sense of reasoning evaporated once he heard those words. ‘“My love?” That damn b*stard.’ He gave a death glare to Frederich as he left the drawing room. The crown prince then turned his attention to Jubelian and inhaled sharply. As she sighed deeply, anguish was etched on her face. ‘Why does she look so troubled?’ he wondered. ‘Could it be that she was swayed by his words?’ Max soon came to a decision. ‘Fredrich, you won’t be able to confess because I’m going to win the hunting contest.’

Frederich soon left the mansion with a pleased expression. Max watched as the nobleman strode elegantly to his carriage. Once he was out of sight, Max headed to the entrance of the Floyen mansion.

“Oh, what a surprise to see you here!” Perhaps it was because of Frederich’s visit—the maid seemed slightly bewildered as she greeted Max. Realizing this, he was now thoroughly irritated. However, he knew he would receive a scolding from Jubelian if he vented his anger out on the maid.

“Take me to your lady.”

Once he reached the door to the drawing room, Max swallowed nervously. Not only had he witnessed what had happened, but it had also been a while since they had met. He was excited and nervous at the same time.

‘She would be glad to see me. I am different from that fox,’ Max thought in anticipation.

The maid announced, “Lady Floyen, there is another guest to see you.” The door soon opened, and Max quickly scanned the lady’s expression. However, she did not welcome him as he had expected. She seemed rather down, and Max felt his heart shatter.

‘…How come?’ He was once again reminded of the anguished expression on her face. ‘Was she truly swayed by his words?’

“Oh, hello, Max,” she soon spoke with a smile. “Please, come in.” Her voice was sweet as usual, and Max felt his mood improve again. However, such a feeling only lasted for a moment. Her initial reaction continued to bother him, and the jealous child inside him wanted an explanation.

“You seemed somewhat angry just now… Did something happen?” Max asked carefully.

“N-no? Nothing happened.”

She was feigning ignorance. Suppressing the rising anxiety, Max asked again, “Come on, what happened? Tell me what’s wrong, Jubelian.”

There was a moment of hesitation before she blushed and said, “Well… It’s because I haven’t seen you for so long.” Max knew she was lying to avoid a complicated conversation. Nevertheless, her charming expression forgave everything. He quickly took her into his arms, and his crimson eyes soon lit up.

‘Now that it has come to this, there is no choice but for me to win the hunting competition.’
