16. Accidents are always sudden
I hurriedly moved towards France and Somire. Since I couldn’t run at the party, I kept walking as fast as possible and approached.
The party hall soon became noisy again. All the nobles looked at Frances and Somire and whispered.
―Are you Princess Descartes again?
―What are you doing this time?
―He suddenly slapped the saintess on the cheek.
― Isn’t the saintess jealous because she’s getting attention?
―Princess Descartes is also a very simple person.

No, don’t just swear at Frances, but take a closer look at the situation.
‘The level of damn nobles.’
By the time I got to Frances, it was already too late to sort things out.
Because the crown prince, Rezef Fedelian, was standing in front of France and was angry.
The idiot crumpled his arrogance and shouted at Frances.
“Princess Descartes, what the hell are you doing! A sudden slap in the face!”
“Your Highness. Do you know what that commoner said to me?”
“Somire is not an ordinary commoner! She is a saint who uses divine magic!”
“What about that? It is true that he insulted me.”
No matter how much Rezef is, he won’t be able to speak carelessly to the duke’s daughter. That’s why he’s just gnashing his teeth and glaring at Frances.
But I have one question.
‘In the world, what was the reason for France’s eccentricity?’
The Frances I’ve seen so far look a bit sloppy, but their ability to read the situation is quite good. She must have known that her behavior itself would work against her.
‘What did Somire whisper?’
I shook my head. Because now is not the time to think about it. I stuck behind France and asked.
“Master, what the hell is going on?”
Frances covered her mouth as she spread her fan. She opens her eyes shallowly and stares sharply at Somire.
“That b*tch called the saint insulted me openly.”
“… Is it an insult?”
“Yes. That’s a proper insult.”
Her eyebrows twitch. What did she hear that Frances, who was used to wearing a mask, couldn’t manage her expression?
“For now, we have to get out of this situation.”
“I know.”
“Let’s get away before it gets any worse.”
That was when I was about to get out with Frances.
“Princess Descartes. Where are you going?”
A crazy bastard like a dog… No, the prince caught us.
“What are you doing?”
“Are you not going to apologize to Somire?”
“You don’t see why I should apologize.”
“You can’t find a reason to apologize after slapping that hard?”
Huh, Rezef laughed.
“As rumored, the crazy b*tch was right. Princess Descartes. Do you know what the current situation is like? Standing in front of you is the Crown Prince of the Empire.”
Are you planning to threaten France with the title of crown prince? That crazy guy To use the power for personal use, I was right.
France smiled calmly.
“Who doesn’t know that Your Highness is the Crown Prince of the Empire?”
“This is… !”
“This? I am Frances Descartes, daughter of Duke Descartes. No matter how much I ask you to be the Crown Prince, you won’t be able to ignore me.”
Ugh, Rezef gritted his teeth. The brow was torn like crumpled paper. That’s where wrinkles form.
Anyway, Frances is doing well in her own way. Still, maybe it’s because I’ve had the experience of wearing a mask and getting wrinkles in the social world.
When lifeless gazes came and went. Somi-re, who was holding her cheek, opened her mouth with a straight smile.
“Your Highness the Crown Prince. Don’t be too angry. I just made a mistake.”
A smile that is truly undistorted.
“Ah- Somire. How merciful are you…….”
You stupid bastard who accepts that as a good thing again.
Crazy. A cub who is drowned by a woman and eats the name of the prince. I don’t know who came up with the nickname, but it’s amazing.
Again, it’s a nickname I made up.
“Princess Descartes. I made a mistake. Please forgive me.”
France frowned and quietly glared at Somire. It seems that he is still angry. I whispered to her
“Master. It would be nice to take a step back here. Things are not so good. Look around you.”
Only then did the excited Francese turn her head. All the nobles in the party are looking this way. If this state continues, only Frances will be at a disadvantage.
The opponent is a saint who has earned the crown prince’s trust. And this side is a princess who has seized the social world with all kinds of extravagance.
“That’s right. You better get out of here.”
“Good idea.”
At that time. Rezef, who was staring at France with a lifelike gaze, rolled her eyes and glanced at me.
“Huh, who is this? Aren’t you the prince of ruin?”
You bastard, you’re pretending to know after all.
“Meet Your Highness the Crown Prince.”
“I would have made you a slave, why are you here?”
The nobles who heard Rezef’s words whispered. You must be wondering how a slave could be at this party.
“Ah, did Princess Descartes buy this slave?”
“… ….”
“Now that I look at it, you are a really funny princess. The guy brought in as an escort knight is a slave? Under.”
Rezef laughed at Frances with an arrogant face. But there was no change in her face.
“Princess Descartes. She’s got an escort knight worthy of your savage level. Praise me for this.”
That bastard? I opened my eyes and glared at Rezef.
“… Are you looking at me now?”
Paak! Rezef kicked me in the stomach. However, Jin’s body was barely able to moan at the kick. You should bring a whip made of leather.
Seeing this, Frances eyes widened.
“What are you doing to my escort driver?”
“Can’t you see it? I gave an education to a beast that climbs without knowing the subject.”
France’s face, which was like a solid wall, started to crack. I was a little moved.
“Now I have the lowly status of being a slave, but before that, I was a member of the royal family of a country. You may have seen it at the exchange venue.”
You even hit the shield? Thank you very much… …. Although it was short, it was the best treatment I’ve ever received…….
While I am impressed. The conversation between France and Rezef continued.
“What does it mean to be from a royal family in a kingdom that has now been destroyed? Princess Descartes. You are funny too.”
“He is a sword master. There aren’t many sword masters in the Empire, right?”
Hearing that he was a sword master, Rezef flinched as he pulled his head back.
“Ha, even if the author is a sword master, now he is a humble slave, so what does that have to do with it?”
“That alone is a worthwhile slave. And, he is my escort knight who is stronger than anyone else.”
France… ….
So far, the loyalty and live show worked…….
“Tsk. I don’t think I’ll be able to talk anymore, so let’s go away. Somire. Let’s go to the break room at least.”
Rezef took the first step. But Somire did not move.
“Somire… ?”
“Your Highness the Crown Prince. Please change your seat first. I have work to do.”
“You still have something to talk about?”
“Yes. I would appreciate it if you could change your seat first.”
At Somire’s request, Rezef reluctantly nodded and headed to the break room.
Fortunately, the situation was over before it got any bigger. There were many nobles watching, so it was an excellent choice.
“Let’s move our seats too. There are too many eyes on me right now.”
“Yes. You better do that.”
Frances gulped down the champagne in his hand. Hot one-shot.
“After. Even this doesn’t relieve my anger. Let’s go out to the terrace to get some fresh air.”
“Yes.”
Ttogak. Again. Frances made a shoe noise and headed for the terrace. I naturally followed her.
“Over there.”
Someone stopped me. It was Somire. Why is this b*tch talking to me?
“You said you were the prince of a ruined country, right? Not only did the country perish, but he became a slave. I’m really sorry.”
What are you talking about all of a sudden? What does it have to do with you that the country was destroyed and I became a slave?
“Oh, yes.”
Simple answer. In fact, it meant that I didn’t want to talk. But Somire did not give up here.
“Let me make a tempting suggestion.”
“A suggestion?”
“How would you like to be my driver?”
“I am the slave of Princess Descartes.”
Somire laughed lightly. Then she shook her head and whispered to me.
“If you ask me, you will be freed from your status as a slave. How are you?”
“How do you do that?”
Once again, Somire looked around. She seemed to be checking to see if anyone was around. After confirming that no one was there, Mire smiled and continued her words.
“I will tell His Highness the Crown Prince. If it were him, he would listen to my request.”
“How do you determine that? The person who immediately enslaved me is His Highness the Crown Prince.”
“He listens to everything I say.”
To be honest, this is a very tempting proposal. The status of being a slave has caught me, but I can’t believe I can release it at once. An ordinary person would have betrayed France and sided with Somire here.
But why? She develops a psychological rejection of her. A feeling deep inside her heart calling out to her to reject her. Is this also Jin’s feelings?
‘Yes, I don’t like this b*tch either, so I’ll listen to your wishes.’
I decided to decline her offer like a knife. I felt Jin’s feelings, but I couldn’t leave France Descartes alone for the sake of me.
If I betray her here, her Frances will be left alone in her solitude. Then she might end her own life.
I wonder if that’s a problem for me to care about as a slave, but since she knew her past and got to know her heart, I didn’t want to leave it like that.
More than anything, she decided to make her move for her sake.
I said.
“Sorry, but I belong to Princess Descartes. We follow His commands only.”
There was a shadow around Somire’s eyes.
“… That’s great loyalty. Don’t you hate the empire? The Descartes Dukes are the central axis of the Fedelian Empire. Aren’t you repulsed by the fact that you have to follow the daughter of such a family?”
That also applies to Jean Barenberg, and I am the 1 million mu-tuber Kim Gong-ryak.
“This is a pointless question. It seems you have nothing more to say, so I’ll leave. I think the master will be waiting for you.”
I said that and turned my back. Somire said, “Wait a minute… !” She seemed to be calling, but she just pretended not to hear and went out to the terrace.
“You’re late.”
“Sorry.”
“What happened?”
“A man named Somire has been talking to me.”
France’s brow furrowed for an instant.
“… What did that b*tch say?”
“She said that if you would be her knight, she would free the slave imprint.”
Static. The heavy atmosphere approaches with an incomprehensible silence. She was so stiff that she could see that Frances was nervous.
“… So. How did you answer?”
“Of course I declined.”
“Why?”
Because I decided to save you from this dog world. I don’t care if someone comes along and tells me I’m stupid or an idiot. So I don’t regret my decision.
I said, giving her a smile.
“Because the promise with the master has not been kept yet.”
