Chapter 5: 5

(Ciela’s POV)

“The problem is…. -he has no such thing as a prospective fiancee.”

The man’s ears turned deep red as if they were about to burst.

Taking advantage of the time that he wasn’t looking at me, I continuously drank the tea one after another. The situation made me lose my mind to the point that I didn’t even notice the hot tea burning both my lips and my tongue.

‘Okay, I need to calm down.’

My hand that grabbed the teapot continuously trembled. I spent my time trying to focus on pouring the tea without spilling it.

With the continuous filling and drinking of tea, my mind became clearer little by little.

‘I’m positive that this person is not the Crown Prince.’

About a week ago.

I’ve checked with the Crown Prince’s aide several times. Is it true that the engagement between Tyrael and His Highness the Crown Prince is being pursued?

A confirmation letter was sent to me by one of the Crown Prince’s people, it briefly contained, ‘Yes it was true.’ Then that means, the person sitting in front of me is not the Crown Prince.

‘Knowing that someone suggested the same thing for the same reason as me.’

And is now asking me for an opinion about it.

It was truly a bizarre coincidence. This novel is truly all about infidelity.

Isn’t this reason enough for the novel to change its title into

<The Affairs Never Stop>?

‘Okay, I’ve calmed down now.’

I took a deep breath and organized my thoughts.

I lifted the teacup unknowingly then stopped when I realized that I’d already emptied the cup and drank all the tea.

So, I tried to refill it, but the teapot was also empty.

That’s when I finally noticed that my stomach was bloated because I was over-drinking myself with tea.

“He received a lot of courtship letters, but this is the first time that someone offered him a revenge affair, I’m lost on what to do?”

After composing himself, the man finally spoke slowly and gently. And the reddish ears that he had before, returned to their normal color.

“I want to know what she meant when she offered to have an alliance in the form of an affair. I’ve heard rumors that you’re an expert when it comes to cheating partners, that’s why I seek your opinion about this matter.”

What did he mean about me being an expert when it comes to cheating partners? I feel like there is something more to it than that.

Well, he could have meant about me being the Guild Master and nothing else.

Let’s see…. So his friend received a letter from a young lady, telling him to have an affair with her to take revenge against their partners, however, that person doesn’t have a fiancee while the lady who offered the alliance had a cheating fiance.

“Might you consider that she may have misunderstood you? She may not know the fact that you don’t have any prospective fiancee.”

“As I’ve said, It’s not me, but someone I know-”

“Our guild cannot accept applications other than the person directly involved. Did you fill out the request form with lies?”

“…… Well, I don’t think that she would have misunderstood me, because of my standing. There’s no way that she wouldn’t know.”

A strong conviction can be felt in the way the man spoke. Hmmm… Is he some sort of a celebrity that every move would be revealed to the public?

“I think…..”

After thinking that much, he opened his lips again and said,

“The young lady’s fiance is famous for his philandering. Perhaps that is the reason why the young lady offered that kind of alliance. In addition, she offered to the opposite sex that she was interested in.”

I was a bit shocked at how confident he is.

Then, something hit me.

‘This man seems to have the answer to his question, so why is he still seeking advice?’

“And I know for a fact that she won’t be asking just anyone.”

“……”

“That’s why I thought that the young lady treated me as someone special.”

“……”

“What do you think?”

“Ahm, I guess so…?”

“As expected.”

The man’s face turned bright red when he answered without much thought.

‘Wait. So that means he has already fallen in love with that woman? Looking at his face right now, he looked like he innocently planned for their children too!’

‘She must be someone that he liked before all this.’

At this moment, bitterness started to seep in, compared to some who had a fiance but made them feel like they don’t exist, and even if they cheat, they would still love that person, but then if they do the same no one wants to respond to their attempt to have an affair.

I was expecting to hear at least a word from the Crown Prince, like thanking me for letting him know about his fiancee’s affair, but Isn’t this a bit too much?

‘I’m so disappointed. Still, I’m hoping that he will respond.’

As soon as this conversation is over, I will hurry towards the master’s room and punch the doll modeled after the Crown Prince.

“Thank you, you’ve helped me a lot.”

“… You’re welcome.”

I answered half-heartedly, but the man who received my response didn’t care at all.

“If I have another question, I’ll look for you again.”

With that, the man prepared to leave.

I thought that he was going to ask some troubling questions because he paid a huge amount of commission for this request, but I guess that’s just it.

I immediately got up from my seat, so I can open the door beforehand as a courtesy to the guest.

“Oh, I almost forgot.”

A cold voice, as cold as the midwinter, resounded through my ears.

The moment I looked back at him, a deathly stare came right at me, as if choking me.

“If there’s any request coming from a lady that matches the description from the letter I told you about, don’t ever accept it.”

I immediately understood what the man was saying. What if we received any request coming from the young lady he mentioned, we have to ignore it.

“She’s a soft-hearted person, If she got involved in a guild like this, it would affect her.”

No, I don’t think so. A soft-hearted person wouldn’t lie or even suggest having a revenge affair with anyone.

Instead of addressing her heart, she offered an alliance, which is way more complicated. There’s no way that girl is soft like he said.

“Don’t worry. Our guild values whoever makes a contract with us first. Because the next client involved in another client’s affair may tell lies.”

Well, I did not raise this guild so poorly for us to be deceived that easily. Once we receive a request, an investigation would be conducted to check if the client’s words are true or not.

I wasn’t that worried, but considering the atrocities that this man exudes, it would be troubling to receive any request related to that woman.

It is best to avoid such people.

After this, I’ll instruct Leather to reject all requests related to that woman.

But then again, I don’t know who that woman is.

“But, you can tell me who the lady is right?”

“Isn’t the answer obvious?”

I knew it.

While agonizing the situation and avoiding the man’s fierce eyes, a sudden thought came to mind, so I immediately said;

“I’ll give you a recommendation. When you go to see the young lady, buy some roses from the Lilstein Flower Shop.”

“Roses?”

The man frowned at my words, wondering why this suddenly came out.

To loosen the boundaries that this man had placed, I put on a smile that I used whenever I portray the ‘Vulnerable Ciela’.

Then I realized he wouldn’t be able to see it because I’m wearing a mask.

“Yes, it is a flower that most noble ladies are anxious to get, because it can’t be bought that easily. I can assure you that she would be very delighted.”

The man looked at me with suspicion. Either way, I didn’t put my business smile away.

The reason I recommended Lilstein’s rose was because of the two conditions of the flower.

First, Lilstein’s roses can only be booked by one person, in a month.

Second, there is no fixed price for Lilstein’s roses. The one who bids the highest price becomes the owner.

The purchasers of Lilstein’s roses who had overcome these atrocious conditions would be known to the social world.

In other words, if this man bought the flower, I could infer who he was and who his partner would be.

The man furrowed his eyebrow.

“You.”

As he called me, a rose scent swept into the tip of my nose. It was the same scent I smelled when I first entered the room.

It was still dense, but it wasn’t at the same level as before.

“You seem to have very impure intentions.”

“Of course not! This is just a recommendation hoping that your love will come true.”

I delivered my words full of business kindness, but the man seemed to have no faith in my words.

He narrowed his eyes, as he stepped forward and stood tall in front of me.

And he spoke coercively, exuding an authoritative atmosphere to the extent that made me feel so insecure.

“With that being said, I will never buy that rose.”

“Hmm, that’s too bad then.”

“What do you mean?”

“There is a myth saying that if the rose of Lilstein, would be gifted to a lover who just started dating, would continue their relationship as a married couple.”

“It’s the first time I’ve ever heard such a myth. Who would ever believe that?”

“If you don’t believe me, then I can’t help it.”

“….. That is so pathetic, I’m not a kid to believe those kinds of things.”

Then he started walking as he tried to pass me by.

The scent of roses that lingered on the tip of my nose suddenly became strong. It was so powerful that it hurt my nose, I couldn’t help but frown.

Just what the h*ll is this? As soon as he leaves, I’ll have to tell Leather to ventilate the room.

「You need to listen to what I have to say.」

As soon as I heard the man’s voice, everything suddenly stopped. To be precise, It’s as if I lose control of my self-consciousness.

It’s so strange to feel the strength in my body loosened. As if my soul jumped out of my body and floated away.

The man looked back at me slowly.

When I met those sunset hue eyes, It seemed right that I had to obey him unconditionally.

If he told me not to blink, I had to stop blinking, and if he said not to breathe, I had the urge to hold my breath just to follow him.

The man who had been observing me with a frown gave off an order that I couldn’t resist.

「Forget everything about today’s consultation. Whatever will remain as a record, set it up appropriately.」

“…….”

「Answer.」

“Yes.”

「Oh, why didn’t it work before? All right, take off your mask.」

Yes, I have to take it off….. -but then, I stopped while trying to take off the mask as the man told me to.

If I ever take off the mask, my identity would be revealed. If someone finds out about it, everything I’ve built up until now would be destroyed!

‘I can’t let that happen!’

That moment, I strongly resisted with all my might, even though my mind was unconscious.

Like light flashing in the darkness, the thick fog that clouded my mind suddenly faded.

I came to my senses, and my hazy consciousness finally awakened.

… Wait, what am I doing?

I couldn’t remember what happened as if the film had been cut off.

I reflexively retreated from the man standing too close to me.

“I’m sorry. What did you say?”

“Huh.”

Embarrassment filled the man’s face, who recently had no emotion on him.

For some reason, he looked at me suspiciously, as if he were looking at a rare creature until he finally stopped when he noticed my uneasiness and said.

“I’ll come back again.”

“Ah… -okay.”

Okay. It seems that everything’s good. Wait, did I just dozed off? What just happened?

Then I started to move again and open the door leading to the hallway. But then I felt someone looking at me, it was the guest that I’d had a conversation with. I’m not sure why but he was looking at me strangely.

But then again, everything went smoothly that day.

The Crown Prince visited our house without notice.

“It’s our first time meeting, but it’s not good to come empty-handed.”

After a moment’s hesitation, his ears blushed slightly, as he calmed down he then finally presented a bouquet of splendidly blooming blue roses.

It was Lilstein’s rose.
