Chapter 76: 75

“…… Should I kill him?”

“What?”

Even if Evan didn’t tell her the object he was going to kill, there was no way she wouldn’t know who it was. Evan looked at her with straight eyes, his mouth shut, as if to express his will.

“Brother, if you do that, you will be executed for treason.”

Even if he was Verdick, the opponent was the Imperial Family, and there was a high possibility that other Duchies would side with the Imperial Family in order to defeat Verdick. Even with the reputation that Verdick had built up from the founding of the country, it could not be enough to cover the charge of treason.

“I think it would be better to kill the Crown Prince and go into exile to another country than to marry the Crown Prince.”

“…….”

Aris also agreed with his opinion. It seemed like it would be better to go to a place where no one knew about her and live under a new name than to marry the Crown Prince. It seemed that it would not be bad to live as a commoner in a foreign country than to go to the imperial family and die.

However.

There were many things that could be obtained with the name of Verdick now. One of them was safety. As Verdick, she may have an upper hand over the imperial family, but it would not have been difficult if the Crown Prince decided to kill her, giving up Verdick’s power and wealth.

Moreover, it was unlikely that the Crown Prince would shut his mouth even if she leaves. He’ll try to build his status by ruining Verdick. Because he likes to get attention in the social world. If such a rumor spreads, her beloved brothers would be on the lips of the people for a long time.

Her older brother wasn’t supposed to be treated like that. Because he was the most noble, honorable, and well-behaved man. And Leonhardt, umm…… Leonhardt’s rumors weren’t very clean from the start, so she’d think he might be able to do that.

Anyway, her older brother was a person who shouldn’t have such a rumor.

“Miss, the Crown Prince has come.”

“Yes, I will go now.”

Aris, struggling after hearing the maid’s call, didn’t look at Evan and walked past him, looking straight ahead. After she left, Evan, who was left alone in the room, stood for a long time like a rock.

“Aris…….”

“We are announcing our engagement today.”

As soon as Aris got on the carriage, she had to wrinkle her expression because of the Crown Prince’s nonsense. Engagement, already?

“You don’t think Brother Evan will allow it?”

“I’m not so stupid that I can’t even think of that. I also don’t want to have Verdick as an enemy.”

“It looks like you already have them as enemies.”

She didn’t speak directly to her brothers, but it seemed that either her older brother or Leon hated the Crown Prince already. She thought that no matter how much she said it herself that she would marry the Crown Prince, they wouldn’t not know that she would prefer to be with her older brother or Leon and not the Crown Prince.

“Really? That’s too bad.”

The Crown Prince said with a look of no regret at all. There was nothing good about turning his back on Verdick, so what kind of confidence is this?

“Even if I turn Verdick into an enemy, I’m happy to be able to marry you.”

“…… why?”

She didn’t actually want to ask why. But she couldn’t help asking. Because she was curious. What was the reason for him trying to marry her by digging up her weakness in such a troublesome way? No matter how much she thought about it, it looked like he had no reason to marry her even by turning her older brother and Leon into enemies.

“I like you. You are the most beautiful woman. So, among the nobles, opinions are divided over whom you should marry. Who will take you out of the hand of that Duke Evanstein Verdick?”

“…….”

She almost forgot about it. That this person was someone who likes to get attention from the social world. If this man had not been born as the Crown Prince, he might have died from not receiving attention.

“And other than that, I like you.”

“…….”

“It’s thrilling that you, a Verdick, looked at me with contempt, and yet chose to marry me. You look pretty when you look at me with contempt.”

“…… Do you like that kind of thing? If that’s the case, I can do that for you.”

She was confident that she could express her deepest contempt with her eyes. Aris started swearing with her eyes even more unrestrainedly. Garbage. Pervert bastard. Go to hell.

She used to think he was a pervert from the moment he looked at her with sticky eyes, but turns out he was more perverted than expected. Why would you turn Verdick into an enemy just for that shallow reason? What stupid thing to do.

“I imagine you crying under me like that, so look, it’s already like this.”

The Crown Prince grabbed Aris’s hand and put it on his crotch. Aris almost immediately cursed, but fortunately she was able to bear it. And Aris was sure. Her marriage to the Crown Prince would make my life miserable.

This man’s thing, who was looking at Aris with a very confident expression, was certainly not small in size. But it was thinner than Leon’s and shorter than Evan’s. In other words, it was nothing compared to the Verdick brothers. Besides, his body even seemed lacking than her older brother, who only rolls the pen every day. And the biggest problem is the face.

‘He has always been blurry…….’

Every day, for a longer time than she could remember, there was no one in Aris’s eyes that was only looking at the faces of Leonhard and Evanstein. She sees Leon in the front and Evan in the back, but the Crown Prince’s face was clearly invisible in his eyes. Rather, the gigolo she had seen before looked even more handsome.
