I’ll Just Be Friends With My Ex-Husband - Chapter 66-1

The ball to find the Crown Princess was held in a grand manner at the Imperial Hall.

A rose-scented perfume adorned my scarlet dress. As Flora told me, it was decorated in accordance with Lady Philia’s taste.

“Whoa. You’re already ready.” Alexid held my hand with an uneasy face. Dad had not recovered enough to take his position, as he was staying at the mansion with their mother.

“Hey, if you think it’s going to get dangerous…”

“Okay, I won’t make that happen. I’m just trying to talk with him. That’s it!”

Today’s goal was to weaken the Crown Prince’s heart and make him spill the truth. What kind of danger could possibly happen?

“……I’m done. You can go inside now, older brother.”

As the purpose of today’s dance banquet was to be held, only young lovers from each country were invited. I waved my hand goodbye at Alexid.

“I’ll be waiting here, so scream if anything happens. Okay?”

“All right.” Leaving Alexid behind, I set foot in the ballroom.

Wow. What a flower bed.

Flamboyant dresses were blooming like flowers and they filled the banquet hall with different colors. Everyone was wearing masks, so I could roughly identify who was who.

Besides, my hair color and eye color were unique. Flora, who recognized me first, approached.

“Lulu.”

“Flora, how do I look?” I made a light turn.

“You look like Philia from afar.” Flora nodded.

I smiled. It was worth investing half of my morning with it then.

“Where’s the Crown Prince?”

“He’s the main character and he’s not even here yet. The Queen said she wouldn’t finish the banquet until people here danced at least ten times. I think I’d run away.” Flora giggled playfully.

“Ugh. Me too…. You mean we have to deal with ten people?”

“It’s even more amazing that this event is held for three days. The Royal Family is determined to let the Crown Prince find his marriage prospects.”

In three days……. thirty people? Oh, even the Crown Prince can’t do that. I shook my head.

“But does Gerald know you’re here?” Flora asked with a serious look.

“I don’t think he’ll let me do this.”

“Gerald?”

Of course, Gerald doesn’t know. These days, he’s already filled with jealousy and he’s wary of my surroundings, so he couldn’t have let me go to this place.

“Ho.”

“Be careful.” Flora shook her head.

Flora has somehow been cautious with Gerald since she ran into him at the academy. I don’t know what happened.

How scary could a smiley face Gerald be so cold? Flora sighed deeply when she saw me being calm.

“Uh, I can’t wait to go back. I don’t think I can even enjoy the banquet because my heart is pounding right now.”

“We’re here to play anyway. How’s it going with you and Billiers these days?”

Flora put her index finger in front of me with a serious face.

“That is an important issue. I think Billiers is really sexy.”

“Really?” I can’t relate with her at all.

“Whenever he’s concentrating, his side profile.. I want to kiss him!”

This girl is crazy. Respect for her taste, but I really don’t understand. Flora was sad as she stuck out her lips.

Billiers would have done nothing but experiment as usual and it would be Flora who would die out of impatience. I could tell without looking, even if it didn’t happen yet.

What’s so good about a nerd whose world only revolves around research.

She spoke, “And what about you? You don’t even date other men these days.”

“A lot.”

“I don’t get along with the ladies at the reading party. You’re just hanging out with Gerald, right?”

“Hmm.”

“What else has happened since then? The heart fluttering kiss while the two of you are at the side of the street.” Gerald’s lips popped into my mind at Flora’s words.

Oh my god. Of course, it wasn’t just that day. It was hard for it to happen once. Will it be hard to do it again?

These days, when I met Gerald, my lips seemed to be dry. The arms that embraced me and his long fingers that touched my skin. Those moments when his sweet breath and the blue color in Gerald’s eyes turned dark.

Our lips bumped into each other and we touched each other for the first time. Gerald has yet to spend one of the three nights he promised with me.

But I believe it will come in the near future.

“What are you thinking?”

“Ack!”

“There was something, huh? Let’s talk about that later. The Crown Prince is coming in.”

Phew. Nice timing. The Crown Prince rescued me from Flora’s sullen eyes.  He was coming in with his aide.
