The Marquis’ Daughter Acts As A Pawn

"Long time no see, Second Prince. Now if you'll excuse me..."

Lady Edward grabbed my arm disappointingly as she grabbed the lady's grace and tried to escape. Please let me go.

"You shouldn't behave, Julianna. I told you to call me Edward.

"I don't like it, did you say that? We haven't seen each other in months."

Me and Edward haven't seen each other since we met using the subpoena... apparently.

I don't know where anyone's eyes are... but what the hell is this belly black prince thinking?

"Wow... I've never seen Brother Ed have fun chatting with a woman other than his own!

If you say so, His Highness Michelle was there!

I admire Lord Edward, the tough one.

"It's okay, Julianna. Michelle and Claudia are on her side. And there's no one else around us."

"Is it Master Left? But think a little bit about how to distance yourself from me."

"Why? I think you're right about the distance to a beautiful courtier. Very pretty, Julianna."

Thus take my hand, and Master Edward will drop his mouth.

I blushed unexpectedly at the soft feeling conveyed over the gloves.

"Hey, what are you doing! I don't care how many princes you say, you mouth them without permission..."

"I can't blame you for running for fiancée"

"I take it!!

"Then, if I take responsibility for Julianna, I'll take care of it."

"I won't! Besides, I hate it!!

Quickly pull my hand, and I will quickly distance myself from Master Edward.

"Is Julianna, Brother Ed, your fiancée?

"Yes, Michelle. She's my future sister."

"Wow!! I'd love it if Julianna turned out to be my sister. I don't see much of my married sister Shelly..."

"Julianna's going to live in the royal palace, so you can meet her all you want."

Dear Edward, who grins niggardly and belly-black.

You bastard!! I'm only a fiancée candidate, candidate!

It's not entirely settled... you're going to use His Highness Michelle to fill the outer moat?

"Dear Edward, that is not a certainty, so please stop telling His Highness Michelle like it is a fact"

"You're a strong man. But I want Julianna as my queen."

"I know. Because I have the blood of two royals and a great nobleman."

"You're making some mistake. I don't care about blood muscles or anything, but I'm just in the way of a good queen or something. The queen I want is a competent queen who can keep her back from each other and protect her country. And... I just hope the queen is the woman I love."

Dear Edward, who approaches again and touches my hair.

His eyes, which he seeth me, are feverish.

I will be aware of as much as I want. This man... he loves me.

I was born for Lord Edward.

From the day I was ten years old and found out the truth, I was ready to marry this man. Even with so many candidates, I thought Edward was the most powerful...

Even in an attempt to become a marriage without love, he hid his whole life that he was Leah, and only the child he had given birth to had decided to love him dearly.

But who could have guessed that Edward would love me when he revealed his secret?

I 'm--

"Wow, I wasn't ready to love you or to be loved..."

With a mosquito roaring voice I told Lady Edward as I leaned down.

Master Edward certainly seemed to have heard my words and showed me a serene grin I had never seen before, neither the usual belly grin nor the laugh of the ideal prince.

"... that's enough now, Julianna"

Master Edward dropping his mouth on my hair he was grabbing.

That face is cowardly!

I ask Lord Edward at his usual pace, keeping him from showing his reddened face.

"You must be here looking for His Highness Michelle, right? I found it, so I don't need it anymore, right? It's time for the ceremony to begin, and I beg your pardon."

I don't want to breathe this unpleasant air any more!

Brother Ed, I'd like to talk to Julianna more.

"You've always liked Julianna, Michelle."

"Yes! But Brother Ed, I won't interrupt your love road. Keel said, that whoever interrupts a person's love path dies after being kicked by a horse. I don't want to die yet because I want to help this country!

"Well, I've got a good brother."

Dear Edward, who strokes the head of Kusha and His Highness Michelle.

But those eyes weren't full of charity, they were seepage of belly blackness... I'm definitely enjoying this guy.

"My lord Michelle, that would be another opportunity. Now, if you'll excuse me."

"Oh, I'll see you at the ceremony and at the night club"

Grace the lady, and quickly I will leave the place.

I felt a bad gaze from behind, but I decided not to worry about it with all my might.

I don't like being swayed by a belly black prince anymore!!
