Chapter 35: 035. The Crown Prince (2)
"Have you ever seen such an audacious person!"
Friedrich was furious.
This was the heavy step of the crown prince of the great empire. On the first day, he thought it was just bad luck and returned as Maria wished, but now, having been turned away by him for the second time, it was only natural for his anger to rise.
"Oh, brother! Please calm down!"
What made Friedrich even more uncomfortable was the fact that his dearly beloved younger sister, the girl named Maria Theresa, did not find this situation strange at all.
Just think about it. No one in the empire, or even the entire continent, would dare treat him this way. Yet, a mere student from the academy had turned him down twice; how was he supposed to interpret this?
"Is that bastard just sleeping all day? Does he think he's some kind of winter bear?"
"...He is a bit unique, to say the least."
"Haah, how on earth did someone like him manage to woo Maria..."
"W-woo? What do you mean by that!"
Maria squeaked in response to Friedrich's blunt voice.
Seeing Maria's fidgety demeanor, Friedrich shook his head.
