Chapter 215: Spoiled Prince
Vritra’s lips stretched into a thin line as he observed the two people from the distance. Monk Shitless had returned to his old evil ways, and the crown prince looked as if he was afraid of making even a tiny mistake.
Sonia said something and the two laughed, then the prince carefully put a piece of orange into her mouth.
She tasted it and then spat it out, making a face as if she had just eaten something disgusting. Then she turned to the crown prince and gave a ’playful’ slap on his face, though even Vritra clearly heard the sound from the distance.
Vritra: "..."
After getting slapped, the prince wasn’t even surprised. He almost lost his balance, but then he got to his knees and began to choose the fruit more carefully to feed her.
’Just what happened in a single day for things to have turned out this way?’ Vritra wondered as he started walking towards them, and after entering the garden he asked, "Prince, why are you on the ground? Did you drop something?"
The crown prince was startled. He accidentally dropped the fruit plate as he stood up in a hurry. He looked at Vritra in shame but pretended to be nonchalant.
"Cough. Yeah, I dropped something. Anyway, how did your hunt go? You didn’t encounter any problems, right?" the crown prince asked, again acting all high and mighty.
"Yes, everything was smooth. We hunted a few demons that weren’t too strong. Sonia, why are you sitting when the prince is standing?" Vritra said, his voice stern.
"I—It’s alright, Lady Sonia’s feet were hurting, so I asked her to sit down. Don’t worry about it. I am very strong," the crown prince said, giving a bright smile.
"If you say so. Oh right, Sonia, I heard the king was calling for you for some reason. You should go and meet him." Vritra said. The plan to sow discord between the father and son had already started.
"H-Huh? Why is Father calling for my—cough, I mean Sonia?" the crown prince asked in a flustered tone, his eyes wide with dread.
