He is obsessed with me after I saved him - Chapter 17~

“Everyone, sit down. Please stay comfortable. I’m just here to observe for a while.”

Pink hair which resembles pale cherry blossoms.

Skin that turns white to the point of being pale.

Even the purity was felt at a glance from a distance.

Some of the extremely contrasting things made the atmosphere of the crown prince mysterious.

What should she say? He looks like a character from a romance cartoon that is distinct from Carlos.

To be precise, he is a lavish and refined man.

“Uhm…”

She held her chin gently. In the middle of the Crown Prince’s seat, there was a plaque placed over it.

Black letters were thickly engraved on the transparent glass.

「Sollio Aberta Lazaro Deloid」

Of course, it was a name she had never heard of. In fact, it wasn’t a name that was mentioned in the description, rather, he was just briefly mentioned as the ‘Crown Prince’.

By the way, is he really Carlos’s younger brother? But they don’t look alike?

She looked carefully again at Sollio’s plaque.

If she had to find the difference between an older brother and a younger brother, would it be that the mothers who gave birth to them were different from each other?

Carlos ‘Lefinon Seymour’ Deloid.

Sollio ‘Aberta Lazaro’ Deloid.

Except for the baptismal names, middle names ‘Seymour’ and ‘Lazaro’.

The two are the only existing names of the Dukes here in the Deloid Kingdom.

Nevertheless, her question has not been solved.

Even if you understood the system of polygamy in this world, and considered that they are the children of the first queen and the second queen respectively, they still have the same father, yet why they don’t look alike?

‘I think I am near having a headache again.’

She glanced away and peeped at Carlos.

He’s completely different from Sollio, but he’s fairly born with beauty.

As romance novels, especially in the condition of love, natural appearance is essential, she thinks this explains why he is the male protagonist.

Without realizing it, the way she looked at him became dreamy.

To be honest, she was so close to him that her eyes couldn’t help but be amazed.

She’s just refraining because she must not get involved.

As much as she liked this novel, she gave a lot of affection to the characters here.

Of course, Carlos was the same.

Because of his cheeky personality, sometimes she just wants to smack him, but she can’t just hate the background of his birth and growth.

Okay. Let’s accept what we have to admit.

She don’t hate him.

“You’ll get worn out.”

“Heuk.”

She swallowed her breath in surprise.

“Aren’t you going to focus on other meetings?”

“…”

“People might think that observing the beauty of the crown prince is a task.”

Carlos said with his arms crossed indifferently next to her.

The low reciting voice was a nuance that she already knew everything.

She scratched the back of her head, while pointing at the documents as if she didn’t know.

Observation of the beauty of the crown prince… It’s not exactly wrong.

Was it too obvious?

To be honest, she was lost on what to say because she looked at both of them intently.

Only the innocent documents were crumpled by her fingertips.

Eventually, she had to change the subject of the story.

“Won’t the Team Leader say Hello to the Crown Prince?”

She asked Carlos, controlling her voice as much as she could.

Regardless of avoiding eye contact, she was sincerely curious.

His expression toward Sollio wasn’t something that would normally come out between a brother and a younger brother.

“I’m not going to say hi.”

“Ah… I see.”

She guessed they weren’t on good terms. She closed my mouth with his firm answer.

The relationship between the two was not detailed in the novel. The two weren’t on good terms, and even if Sollio looks like a gentle puppy, is he actually more of a temper person than Carlos?

Carlos whispered to her as she tried to infer in her own way.

“I think you misunderstood something.”

He slowly closed and opened his eyes, twisting his lips.

“He’s just a kind-hearted younger brother. To put it bluntly, it’s uncomfortable for me.”

“Aha…?”

What? It was only a one-sided issue, not two-sided.

“So don’t make that face.”

“Yes? What do you think about my expression?”

“A look of pity beyond seriousness. As if you were sympathizing with someone.”

“Oh.”

He quickly rolled his eyes and blinked. she made a mistake that he only thought that she was sad without realizing it.

“I never asked Miss Lutiens to worry. So you don’t have to step up and care.”

“Yes. Please pardon me.”

You don’t have to step up.

She smiled awkwardly. Looking back, she felt a sense of surprise and the question she had asked him seems to have gone wrong.

What’s the benefit of asking between Carlos and Sollio’s relationship?

She was just merely curious because there was no detailed explanation of Sollio in the novel.

If you think about it, it would be over if you pointed out why he never appeared.

If they were good, he would had appeared several times in the novel. If they were not on good terms, what would she do if they were to appear in a romance novel?

‘What a stupid.’

Did she try to be nosy and dig up his secret? And beyond the topic?

Subconsciously, he was discouraged and turned his head to the other side.

Originally, people’s novel didn’t go as planned, but at this point, the original scene  seemed to be happening all the way here.

“If you look at it that way, I can only tell Miss my feelings?”

“Yes?”

Carlos trembled his shoulders slightly while reflecting on himself in the past.

It was because he picked her up as I sat still and laughed alone.

“This is pretty cool, too.”

“…?”

His face turned in a firm expression towards me.

The hair, which was disturbed by shaking, was swaying with its color, dark black.

As always, his eyes are inevitably violet.

At least his gaze, which had been hooked on Sollio, was completely shifted toward her.

She swallowed my saliva.

Relaxation as if to care about the other person’s intentions.

Whenever she feels a unique atmosphere from him, she can’t help but be nervous.

Carlos’ eyes were narrowed.

“What the hell’s the reason?”

“…”

“I think it’s because it’s the first time I’ve treated someone so well. Or is it because Miss’s eloquence is exceptionally good?”

When she heard those words, she tilted her head in confusion.

What? Eloquence?

“…What are you talking about, Duke?”

“It’s just that I feel that way. Don’t keep it in your heart too much.”

What are you saying? Then you shouldn’t had said it from the beginning.

She turned away from Carlos with an uncomfortable gaze.

Why does he come out in a dual attitude unconsciously?

She didn’t say anything, but every time an unexpected word came out, she felt like her lifespan was reduced by a handful.

I looked up where Sollio was again and said.

It’s because the atmosphere was dispersed by various things, but the meeting soon began in earnest.

“Team leader, please focus. At this rate, we won’t be able to understand anything His Highness is saying.”

“You don’t have to understand. Sollio said he’d only attend for formality.”

“Uh. Can you just call him that?”

“Then what do you want, call him brother?”

Well, that’s definitely irrefutable. She answered with a small nod.

“I know. I’m a member of the same royal family, so there’s no one to blame even if the team leader says so.“

“There’s no one here to refer to him that way. Didn’t Miss Lutiens speak informally to me earlier?”

“Oh really. You have to be honest about it. The team leader was so unlucky, no, he was just an inconsiderate person.”

“Unlucky…”

She changed the word late, but she learned that he had already heard it all. Carlos’ voice, who couldn’t finish the sentence, trembled faintly.

Meanwhile, Sollio’s eyes, which had been looking around, happened to land this way.

His purple eyes looked restless for some reason.

What? Is he watching us?

To be exact, is Carlos, his older brother the person he was looking to, not us?

She raised her elbow and poked Carlos in the side pretending to be in order.

A moan broke out.

Oh, it doesn’t hurt that much but he exaggerated.

“Team leader, look over there. Isn’t His Highness saying hello to the team leader?”

“Whether he did it or not, I don’t really want to care.”

“Are you serious?”

I took the liberty to ask back. The mysterious expression he made was on my mind.

“…I would have said we weren’t that close.”

Carlos replied indifferently.

Unlike Sollio, who displayed his desperate eyes, he had a harsh reaction.

But she saw it clearly. That he paused for a moment at what she said.

It was unexpected inside.

In the narrative of the novel, their personalities are different, so she thought that in some human relationships, they were just arrogant. He must have had such a passive side.

She gazed through Carlos with a non-hateful eye.

‘What do you mean no?’

Seeing others, she felt so sympathetic. She had to deceive who she wanted to deceive, what is the amount of seasoned nuggets that she had accumulated in the security department for 3 years?

Carlos, who hides his feelings, looked frustrated, while she also understood his position.

Yeah. Sollio won’t be just a nice-looking brother.

As the first prince, who has been neglected all his life, and as he himself said last time, Sollio could not feel good as he lived with hatred for his stepmother.

However, when hateful feelings go around repeatedly, isn’t Carlos himself the one who’s not okay after all?

“Look, Team leader.”

I tilted my head carefully and whispered to Carlos.
