I’ll Just Be Friends With My Ex-Husband - Chapter 66-2

Anyone would be sick of this huge flower garden, but the Crown Prince, alone, was smiling.

Is that how the Crown Prince looked? I shook my head softly. The Crown Prince slowly descended. The ladies were doing their best to stand out around him.

The Crown Prince met my eyes. And with that, I smiled brightly. He walked towards me with a bewitched face.

All right, then. The show is on. Game starts.

I could feel Flora moving away from me. I walked lightly, my steps were soft as I approached the Crown Prince. I had to look as sweet and as gentle and as elegant as possible.

“Greetings, Your Highness,”

“Philia?” I definitely heard it. I tilted my head with a smile of satisfaction.

How nice.

“Do I look like Lady Philia?”

“Lady Louella.”

“Yes, Your Highness. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen each other.”

The Crown Prince looked as if he had already fallen into my swamp. I looked closely at the prince’s expression.

It was also necessary to take a good look at his face that expressed his feelings as the Crown Prince had for Philia. It seemed like he missed her, his affections showed. And then, a hint of guilt became obvious in his face.

The Crown Prince’s expression collapsed and his feelings were revealed. Welcome to my fishing ground. You’re a fish trapped in my bait.

Alexid paced around the garden. It was confirmed that the Crown Prince had already entered the banquet hall.

“Oh, my God. Such a fearless kid.…”

“A person without fear, what do you mean?” A voice could suddenly be heard from his back.

“Huh? What? Oh my God!” Surprised Alexid stepped back with a shout.

Gerald stood in front of Alexid.

“You, you… Why are you coming out there?

“I went to see Louella and she said she wasn’t in the mansion. So when I went to see Flora, I heard that she went to the banquet.” Gerald replied with a dark, subdued face.

Alexid gulped down his saliva. “Is Lulu in there right now?””

“Oh, that’s….”

“I wonder why Lulu went to the banquet hall when they were there to select the Crown Princess.” Gerald’s blue eyes flashed savagely in the dark.

Alexid had an awkward laugh. Of course, Alexid was aware that he was not in a situation where such a thing could just be ignored.

‘Louella… You’re in trouble right now.’ I missed my younger sister who smiled cutely, saying that she didn’t want to be caught by him.

“Shouldn’t you be working with the Duke today?”

“I finished early.”

Alexid knew that Gerald was busy as the successor these days.

“……I see. Why did it have to be today, of all days.”

“Now please answer my question. Why is Louella in there?”

“It’s… I heard that Louella has something to check.”

Gerald frowned. “What?”

“I don’t know… I don’t know……. She didn’t tell me the details.”

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh… Gerald groaned as if he knew what that meant.

Louella’s intentions were quickly understood. He was sure that she was trying to coax the Crown Prince for valuable information. And to think that he thought she was being calm these days.

“……Alexid. I’ll protect this place.”

“What?”

“I said I’d wait for Louella.”

“You’re sending her home safely today, right? I don’t think she meant to do anything bad.”

Alexid made the most excuses for his sister.

“Of course.” Gerald grinned as if he had done everything he could.

Why did he become even scarier……? However, it was not Alexid’s responsibility, but Louella’s responsibility why Gerald was getting angry.

“Then I’ll be on my way. Take care of Lulu.”

“Yes, Alexid.” After answering, Gerald turned his head to the banquet hall.

Well, Louella, way to looks like you’re going to get caught in the act.

“You haven’t answered my question yet, Your Highness. Do I look that much like Lady Philia?” I tilted my head slightly.

This was also one of the habits Flora taught me. The Crown Prince’s eyes shook.

He replied in a gruff voice, “To the point that I thought Philia had come back alive.” He smiled, “You definitely look like her.”

I took a step closer to the Crown Prince. I’m sure the Crown Prince smelled the scent I had used. His eyes were badly distorted.

“I’d be happy if I could comfort you in your grief. I want to hear more about your love for her, Your Grace.”

If Alexid had heard my way of speaking, he would have been shocked. I’m good at acting, too.

The Crown Prince kissed the back of my hand.

“I’d be happy to…”

The fish threw itself into my fishing ground. Such a successful capture.
