Chapter 17: This is the last chance (1)
The atmosphere was quite friendly. Except for me, of course. I was passing the time by just responding appropriately to their words because I was tired.
I was trying to avoid any kind of confrontation because I would be targeted here in that case. But at that moment, someone's question rang in my ear.
"Princess Rodenov. I have a question for you. Is Prince Physis Ortaire always that kind?"
The intention of asking such a question out of the blue must be because she thinks that Physis can't be kind to a monster like me.
Well, I really don't know the reason for her asking that question, however, judging from the clear jealousy in her eyes, it seems that my prediction was correct.
Indeed, after looking at her face again, I remembered that she was one of the princesses who blushed when she told Physis earlier that he was handsome.
How should I answer?
The trouble didn't last long, because I was in a position to act. I wanted to break their illusions by answering the truth, but I didn't want to tell them about Physis and me, and I didn't want to break the alliance that Ortaire and Rodenov were trying to carry on with my petty anger. So It was impossible.
"Yes, he is always kind."
Remembering his recent attitude, I replied.
Certainly, his attitude towards me has been very kind lately, probably due to pressure from his family.
"Wow, really? Can you be specific? I'm really curious about what happens between the two of you on a regular basis!"
