While saying those words, Sislin’s rosy red eyes stared at me tenaciously.
Even though Heinrich was right next to me.
“…What’s going on here?”
Heinrich immediately responded to his voice.
“What? I didn’t invite anyone. Why are there so many people…? I don’t think you have any sense.”
It was clearly a voice of ridicule.
“……!”
‘This screwed-up chihuahua, are you still temperamental?’
His appearance, completely not conscious of whether the opponent was the crown prince or not. It was a time when I was admiring that unrestrainedness.
Heinrich took a step forward.
Then he flicked his beautiful silver hair and bowed down gracefully, observing the etiquette.
He said arrogantly, with glaring pride.
“I have heard rumors that you have been appointed to the Crown Prince, Your Highness. I should have visited you earlier…”
‘Wow, did my Heinri grow up? You didn’t merely act like a baby, but you became a person who knows etiquette!’
―As soon as I thought that, Heinrich said with a refreshing smile.
“I just didn’t go. I don’t want to go.”
Oh, he was just trying to rile him up!
“—Heinrich.”
I quickly grabbed his collar and stopped him.
Then I glanced over a little.
Surprisingly, Sislin didn’t care.
It was kind of like, a dog that kept barking next to you, or a mosquito that kept humming next to you; you wouldn’t respond to each and every one of them.
Those were pretty dull eyes.
‘Oh my God, that’s even worse.’
I was mildly shocked.
At that moment, a low voice resounded through his rib cage.
“I heard you were ‘together’ at home last night…”
As if tired, Sislin gently stroked the lower part of his red eyes with his large hand.
“Last night.”
His gaze fell to the floor, then he brought his red eyes up and looked straight at me.
“Did you two sleep?”
‘Am I trash for hearing strange nuances?’
“Yes.”
“……!!!”
I was taken by surprise at Heinrich’s confident answer.
“Why, we slept in the same bed.”
Heinrich curved his lips that were as red as a fruit and smiled mischievously.
‘It’s getting even weirder, Heinrich.’
Sislin looked at me with a low smile.
He stared at my face for a while, chewing and spitting the words out.
“Did you?”
It felt as if my spine were being pierced by that voice.
For some reason, I felt a tingling sensation in my wrist. The wrists tied to him.
The red eyes were reddened. He’s smiling, but why does he look so angry?
“I told you, yes. You bastard.”
Sislin’s gaze was directed to Heinrich straight away. He didn’t ignore it this time.
He stabbed in a low voice.
“Filthy thing.”
“What?!”
‘This has to stop.’
The instinct of nth years of shrimp life came. If I didn’t stop it here, my carapace would burst.
I hurried forward.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince. Did you come to see me?”
“…….”
Fortunately, Sislin’s gaze returned to me.
“Let’s talk.”
“Sister…!”
I said to Heinrich with a calm smile. Like before.
“Heinrich. Go first, I’ll be in soon.”
“…….”
“I’ll make you something delicious. In the evening.”
Heinrich, unable to hide his anguish, showed it on his face, and immediately spoke to Sislin.
“Did you hear that? You can’t eat.”
Then he left the place.
━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━
I straightened my back and looked at Sislin.
‘Get a grip, Annette.’
I lost my ‘wrist freedom’ in the last meeting.
Knowing that he was a man who could make me get swept away if I didn’t come to my senses, I was nervous.
I calmly opened my mouth.
“Why did you come to see me?”
Sislin’s sharp eyes narrowed. He folded his arms tightly. A large hand and a clear vein on a thick forearm caught my eye.
A low voice pierced my ear.
“Don’t you remember?”
“…….”
“The last thing I said previously.”
Then, his low voice came to mind.
“I’ll visit you often, so show me when I come.”
“…….”
“I thought I was going crazy because I missed you.”
With what expression he said those words, the temperature when I heard it, and the smell of the air; I remembered it all.
I spoke calmly without showing any expression.
“It’s difficult, Your Highness.”
“What?”
“Are you going to come every time you miss me? …I have my own life.”
