I Became The Childhood Friend of the Obsessive Second Male Lead Chapter 221

“Noel! There you are!”

Thanks to this, he was unable to escape less than ten steps and he was quickly caught by Everett.

“. . . Damn it.”

“Noel. You shouldn't say that to such a beautiful partner, did you?”

“Damn you!”

Noel raised his voice a little and spoke threateningly.

The words and actions were not appropriate for nobility, but all those around them were grinning as if they were having fun.

Perhaps, as Everett Hewitt became the spectacle of today's banquet, his partner, Noel, was treated the same way.

“Listen to me, Noel. A little while ago, Princess Gabriella . . .”

But Everett didn't seem to care at all about people's gazes or his reputation.

He immediately grabbed Noel's hands and started telling stories Noel didn't ask for.

“Everett Hewitt.”

Noel frowned and called out his name.

It was also a request for him to take a look around.

Of course, there was no way Everett would grant such a request.

“Well, the Princess said that the dress suits me. She said that we should choose a dress together next season. Can you believe it?”

At this point, laughter began to be heard from all around.

Noel was just fine with people making fun of Everett.

But he didn't like the fact that his cousin was dragged into it.

Noel spoke, determined to get out by grabbing the back of this sassy man, even for the sake of his cousin's honor.

“Come with me.”

“Uh, huh?!”

“Let's go over there and talk! I will listen to everything!”

Noel seemed unwilling to let this situation continue, so he forcibly dragged Everett to the side of the banquet hall.

And only after he reached the place with the heavy-mouthed imperial servants did he let Everett go.

“Why would you talk about Sister in such a crowded place?”

Noel picked up cold water nearby and handed it to him.

For Everett to please calm down.

“Well, of course.”

Everett took the water Noel gave him, but did not drink it.

“I said it in a crowded place on purpose.”

Unlike before, he responded with his eyes shining sharply.

“. . . Why?”

“I can't help it. There are still a few months left before the official engagement is announced.”

In the meantime, he wanted to clearly declare who was the most favored by Princess Gabriella.

To wear clothes he never wore before, to do things that stood out!

Noel raised his voice.

“Do you even need to do that?”

After all, the engagement was a decided thing. It was also pretty solid.

“Of course, there is no need to do that.”

“But why?”

“Just that . . .”

Everett closed his eyes slightly, and placed one hand near his heart.

As though bragging about something.

“I have a genuine unrequited love for Princess Gabriella.”

Of course, Noel didn't understand his feelings at all.

Having such an ardent crush. Trying so hard to be loved.

Was it because Noel's expression was still not good?

Everett added an unsolicited explanation.

“For example, a little while ago.”

Even at that moment, Noel had no interest in his story, so he tried to wave his hand, indicating that he wasn't interested.'

Now, it was time for him to return to the academy.

But Everett's story continued.

“I don't want to go through the feelings you felt when you saw Princess Liz a while ago.”

What were Noel's feelings when he saw Rieta? That's it . . .

“Pathetic feelings?”

“No.”

Despite Noel's light reply, Everett's expression was quite serious.

“Jealousy.”

“Are you crazy?!”

Noel instinctively shouted out loud, snatching up the cold water Everett had set down and downing it.

Gulp.

As cold water passed through his object, he thought of an object that matched the word 'jealousy'.

Elisha Maureen.

The definition was complicated.

Although they had managed to become a strange type of friends, Noel sometimes felt a tingling sensation in Elisha's presence.

Noel hurriedly drank the remaining water from the glass.

It pushed the useless thoughts back down into his body somewhere.

“Don't talk nonsense. It'll be troubling if someone hears it.”

“What do you mean by troubling?”

“If anyone else hears it, Princess Rieta will definitely hear of it.”

The phrase 'she'll think I like her' was omitted.

“Huh? It's not?”

“What do you know?”

Noel set the empty glass down on a nearby table.

“Of course, 'Rieta' is special.”

Noel dared to call her by her first name. giving it a lot of strength

Perhaps this was a similar extension of Everett's 'relationship with Princess Gabriella' a while ago.

Of course, Noel didn't notice that.

“I think of her as family.”

As Noel answered so, Everett frowned and began to stare at Noel.

“Noel, are you serious?”

“Then am I lying?”

Everett looked at him softly, and Noel dared to put strength in his eyes and hold his gaze.

Somehow he felt like he should.

“But . . .”
