I Become The Wife of The Male Lead Chapter 78

Chapter 78: The Choice is Yours

The Crown Prince, Enoch, did not like his half-brother at all. To be exact, he hated him. Enoch had no worries until Sigren arrived. The emperor had no other sons, and no one tried to offend Enoch and be his only enemy. But after Sigren came, that all changed. 

'That fucker Sigren, Sigren.'

The appearance of the new prince was too splendid. Perhaps, because of that, his name was heard from all directions. Even the people in the palace praised the prince's name. They said he was a hero who killed the dragon.

'At least, that fucker is a bastard.'

Enoch wouldn't feel bothered if Sigren had been like a dead mouse. However, Sigren was gloating in the noble society. Even the women who liked to slyly bounce to him when he approached, blushed when they made eye contact with Sigren. His anger soared, even more, when he secretly heard a murmur that Sigren was better than the crown prince. However, that was not the thing that angered Enoch the most. The bastard daringly grabbed him by his neck, just because he talked about one woman. That moment was the greatest insult to Enoch, who had been upheld as a crown prince his whole life. Enoch vowed that if he became the emperor, the first thing he did was to put Sigren to the guillotine. 

But such a day was still far away.

'Is there any way to make him suffer?'

Enoch knew that it was meaningless to face Sigren head-on.

Fiona Heilon. 

The only woman who could cause an emotional agitation in Sigren. 

Enoch liked her appearance, but he had never seen her properly because that cheap Duke Abel Heilon was always with her. 

'If something goes wrong, he would get hit hard.'

If everyone could see Enoch's face right now, they could tell right away he had something on his mind. 

'Let's touch it.'

It was difficult to deal with that girl openly because of the Duke of Heilon, but it didn't matter, because he also had power in the capital. He didn't have to use his own hands anyway.

If there was one thing Enoch had learned the most from his childhood, it was to mistreat others. 

He pulled a string. 

“Get my aide over here right now.”

Enoch grinned. He had a good idea. If it worked out, it was good, if it didn't work out, he could just cut off the tail. It was good either way. 

Because in this country, no one could question the crown prince.

Lately, I've been a bit busy. This was because the number of people interested in me kept increasing. I guess, what I did in the hunting competition created a lot of noise. There was nothing bad about that, though. I was willing to settle in the capital and took this hot potato position, so I had no reason to refuse these people's invitation.

That was something I felt while doing so.

“I can't go around with the duke….”

One thing that surprised me was I found many people admired Abel Heilon. They even called him the strongest shield in the north. But, well, his enemies were also everywhere. After all, Abel was never a person who shied away from an upcoming quarrel. He was even often the walking quarrel himself.

 In short, my adoptive father was a double-edged sword. 

Sigren grinned after hearing my grumbling. “Still, it would be helpful if you went around together with him.”

Did he really find this funny? Because I was serious.

“I'm not joking. I mean, he's really, really blatantly always sarcastic. I didn't know Abel was so eloquent.”

In Heilon, everyone looked up at Abel. it was even to the point they would close their mouth before Abel asked them. But the capital socialites were not Heilon's people. Because of that, here, Abel made the people shut up himself. 

“I know, but cultivating that kind of character is expected to happen. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to protect Heilon until now.”

Surprisingly, Sigren defended Abel. 

The more I looked at these two, I felt like rather than having a teacher and student relationship, they were more like brothers who didn't get along. Because they always bickered over trivial things. 

'But you would admit what you have to admit.'

I stroked Sigren's cheek as a compliment. 

Unhappy with my attitude, Sigren narrowed his eyes. Then he took my hand and gently kissed the palm of my hand.

Chuu~ 

A rather blatant sound rang out. 

I widened my eyes looking at the unexpected action.

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

“Don't be surprised.” 

Sigren said indifferently. 

“You've decided to go out with me, so I'm going to take whatever you feed me from now on.”

I stuttered. “When..—when did I feed you…”

“Your hand, just now,.”

He was so shameless. Yet, when I touched him first, he was always startled? This.., I still stood by my thought that someone must have been wearing a mask of Sigren's face. 

I looked at him suspiciously. 

'My child has changed.'

“You're thinking strange things again, aren't you?”

I shook my head quickly. His eyes were very good at sensing something. So scary. I must have underestimated his sense too much this whole time. 

“No, I'm not. I'm thinking you're so cool.”

“Suddenly?”

It seemed that this statement still worked quite well as he did not ask any further questions. It was good, but at the same time, it also kind of worried me.

“Your Majesty The Prince!”

Then, someone called Sigren. 

Sigren clicked his tongue, “he's good at finding people.”

“Who?”

Sigren replied with a dissatisfied face, “The guy I told you about last time. A human who was pushed into my palace by Marquis Erez. Kane Erez.”

At the same time, a knight seemingly in his mid to late twenties appeared. 

“Found you! Please, don't depart and shove me off every time it's my turn escorting you—”

The knight named Kane Erez closed his mouth when he saw me. 

“Oh, there is someone else. Pardon me.”

He smiled kindly and greeted me briefly. 

Well, he was too polite and neat to say he came here to be a spy.

'It's someone I don't know.'

Though it was an abrupt meeting, I greeted him normally. 

“My name is Fiona Heilon.”

“There is no need to introduce yourself to an escort.” Sigren said with an uncomfortable face. “You, i don't need you here, just go.”

“But, why is it “no need” only when I am in charge…?”

It seems that Sigren has been harassing him lately. I remembered Sigren said he couldn't get rid of that knight because he had nothing to nitpick. So, was Sigren trying to make him give up on his own?

I watched Kane clinging to Sigren with an intriguing gaze and Sigren beating him with a cold response. He was the first person who was a stranger that could be like this with Sigren. 

'I wish he's not from the Erez family.'

Really, if he weren't here because of his family, they could have been close friends. He was the type of person that could get closer to Sigren. Because, normally, when Sigren behaved like this, his energy suppressed other people, and the person could not approach him properly. And Kane was not like that,

'Can't get along because of family… this is not Romeo and Juliet, is it?'

Suddenly, Sigren looked at me and said as if he had read my thought, “Lady Fiona, I see you're thinking about a useless thing again.

He was really not doing mind reading on me, right?

I laughed softly, “No way. I just thought that the relationship between the master and his servant is good.”

Upon hearing my words, Sigren and Kane Erez's expressions rotted at the same time.

How could they be the same? As expected, didn't these two get along well? 

Seeing the two men alternately, I grinned.
