I Dislike The Male Lead’s Child (Web Novel) - Chapter 72.1

I was ready to go to the royal castle early in the morning.

I was about to enter the dining hall, but Asellus opened the door just in time and came out.

I prepared an hour earlier than other times, but it was strange that Asellus also finished his preparations like a coincidence.

‘Well, because Asher is so diligent.’

I accompanied him to the dining room without giving it any thought.

I remember the original story while I was going down.

[Wizards’ hurried footsteps can be heard climbing and descending the tower’s golden staircases. Wizards who carry heavy books hung to their arms while conducting studies day and night. High-ranking officials come and go until the impact of the shoe threshold wears off, and after Austell, this area develops into a wonderful holy place. The installation of a teleport facility also made it possible for people to travel from Austel to Latella in less than a second.]

Naturally, it ought to be that way.

As I immersed myself in my thoughts, I heard laughter above my head.

I turned my head to face Asellus.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” -Avril.

“It’s Just that Sena said it’s amazing here.” -Avril.

A sigh came from my mouth.

The only amazing thing about it is that it will be a maze tower.

By the way, the meaning of the word “Flue” is “seal.”

“I see.” – Asellus

Asellus held back what he wanted to say and set out to have a meal.

Asellus escorted me gently.

Asellus walked into the dining room, pulled a chair, and sat down.

We finished our meal without saying much afterward.

As the maids were cleaning up, a servant from outside announced that the carriage was ready.

Asellus got up from his seat and asked.

“Shall we go, Brill?”

“Yeah.”

We strode out of the dining room.

A wagon was ready in front of the gate.

It took less than thirty minutes by horse-drawn carriage from Flue to Latella Castle.

In the carriage, Asellus put a bracelet on me.

I glanced at the glittering gold bracelet.

‘Even with the bracelet, I don’t feel much pressure.’

As a sudden thought came to mind, I turned to Asellus and asked.

“I think you have better control on your mana now .”

But instead of answering, Asellus clasped my hand.

His hand didn’t loose until the carriage halted in front of the royal castle.

*******

The sky was clear and blue.

Under the cloudless sky, the towering milky-white castle drew my attention.

Perhaps it was because I had only seen the rough Austell mansion, the castle with the elegant lines looked different.

The royal castle of Latella was neat overall.

Looking closely, you can see that each brick has an illustration carved into it.

Small paintings merged to form a massive historical painting.

I wanted to take my time looking around, but I couldn’t make it evident that I was unfamiliar.

Judging by Asellus’ words, it didn’t seem like it was the first time Avril had visited the royal castle.

I separated from Asellus only when I arrived at an unknown flower garden.

Asellus had to go to the council, and I had to see the Princess.

The maid, waiting in advance, led me to the meeting place.

The maid led me deep into the castle.

Before long, we reached a place full of flowers and trees that reached our waist.

It was like being in a greenhouse.

As I moved my gaze as if appreciating it, the maid noticed it promptly and explained it to me.

“The Princess enjoys caring for flowers. As a result, there was an insect riot during the summer.”

“You’ve worked hard.”

As I responded calmly, the maid suddenly turned her head and met my gaze.

The corners of her lips were raised obliquely.

“Yes, there was an insect riot, but the Marquis gave me a protection spell, so I got better right away.”

Hearing my answer, the maid’s expression became strange.

As if she was trying to restrain me.

In fact, I didn’t even have the will to fight, but it was just funny to argue.

I didn’t respond.

Then the maid stopped walking and started introducing herself out of the blue.

“Madam, I don’t know if you remember me. Dahlia from Lüburgh.”

Dahlia?

I can’t seem to remember her.

However, it seemed that there was such a name among the extras that had gotten rid of at first glance.

‘Oh, right.’

There was one person I remember.

Dahlia was the servant the king had planted on the Princess.

‘Was she the maid who got kicked out for spying on the princess?’

She must have been kicked out if it was original, but it seemed she was still there.

Well, the original is already twisted.

I smiled softly and nodded my head.

“Miss Dahlia, I remembered now.”

“I’m honored. But I think you’ve changed a lot since the last time I saw you.”

“Yes! But now is not the time to discuss these things.”

Dahlia’s expression contorted at my reply.

Her expression seemed like she wanted to portray Andrea as a villain to me.

Judging the maid, it seems Avril must have been deceived by her before.

I wasn’t stupid enough to show my weakness to someone like that.

When I was silent, Dahlia stepped forward again and did not talk anymore.

Even though her lips are sealed, her facial expression can reveal everything.

Dahlia led me to the center of the garden where the Princess was.

The Princess was sitting in the gazebo surrounded by beautiful flowers.

I immediately realized why this place was full of greenery.

‘The princess has a strong affinity for magical powers, so she feels frustrated with artificial things.’

To her, the greenery would look more beautiful than this castle.

Because she can not leave due to her status, she has planted flowers and plants in the garden.

I gathered my thoughts and slightly bent my knees to greet the Princess.

“So you are, Avril.” -Andrea.

“Nice to meet you.” -Andrea

The Princess smiled at me and motioned for me to take a seat.

She was judging me with friendly eyes, but it was not overbearing.

But it was different for Dalia.

“Get out.”

With a cold voice, the Princess told her to leave.

A hand gesture that looked annoying as if to drive out a fly.

Dahlia hurried off.

Only I and the Princess remained in this magnificent foliage.
