I Thought I Was The Main Character Chapter 13

An invitation from Prince Luciano?

 

It was something I never thought of.

 

I thought we would never meet again unless it were an official event.

 

And I was going to avoid the official event as much as I could.

 

“What kind of wind caused him to invite me?”

 

“Well, I suppose he wants to get along with you?”

 

“I don't think so….”

 

I didn't think I'd want to get close with someone who showed a shocking appearance.

 

I calmly grasped the reality.

 

From that day on, I never dreamed of romance with Prince Luciano.

 

“Why not? You're so lovely, my lady. Have some courage.”

 

I glanced at the nanny.

 

I looked as if I was going to pull out my guts and pour everything out in a miserable way. How lovely would she be?

 

The nanny was a good person, but sometimes she said insincere things.

 

I let it slip through one ear and contemplated what she should do with the burdensome invitation.

 

Prince Luciano's wall has collapsed.

 

It was a touching moment, but I wasn't slightly happy about it.

 

Of course, I would have jumped for joy If I had been invited when I was using my sunshine heroine tactics to him.

 

'Now that I've given up everything, it's rather troublesome.'

 

No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed difficult for us to be friends.

 

What on earth did he call me for?

 

In addition, I felt better because there were other people at the tea party, but the thought of meeting him alone made me dizzy.

 

My mind became complicated and hazy. Then I clung to my nurse's waist.

 

My nanny patted me on the head.

 

Her touch calmed me down.

 

“I must go, right?”

 

“If you don't want to go, don't go.”

 

“Really?”

 

“Yes. Do whatever you want, my lady. I'm always on your side.”

 

My nanny's unwavering voice made me laugh.

 

My parents were the same. It was really nice to have someone by my side who supported me so unconditionally.

 

It's something I couldn't feel in my old life.

 

My hesitation disappeared.

 

I jumped up and wrote down my reply.

 

 

[Prince Luciano.

 

Thank you very much for inviting me.

 

I am unable to visit tomorrow due to circumstances.

 

If it is an urgent matter, please send me a letter, and I will answer it.

 

From Aesvin Samuel]

 

 

I declined Prince Luciano's invitation.

 

In fact, I had a lot of worries.

 

It was over with Prince Luciano, the original male protagonist, but I haven't started with Harrison or Damian yet.

 

To meet them, I have to maintain a friendship with Prince Luciano.

 

Considering my mental health, I thought it would be best to get acquainted with him at this point.

 

Just because I overcame the tea party, that didn't mean I didn't feel anything when I saw him.

 

I was full of gratitude, but the feeling of embarrassment and shame was even greater.

 

From time to time, I remembered the moment when I was vomiting everything up.

 

Unless my memory is erased, this mistake will continue to float in my head, and I will recall a deep sense of shame.

 

It was concluded that it would be better not to face Prince Luciano.

 

It bothered me that the person who has been rejected me now invited me in person.

 

But soon, I passed it off in small measure.

 

There was nothing to talk about between us.

 

'Well, if it's something really important, he'll get back at me.'

 

 

'Is it really an important matter?'

 

I looked mindlessly at the letter in my hand.

 

 

 

[I request you to visit at 2 p.m. tomorrow.]

 

 

 

A second invitation arrived from Prince Luciano.

 

The way he spoke was somewhat more polite.

 

Of course, this was too rough to call it polite.

 

“Are you going to refuse it again?”

 

“I don't know.”

 

I really didn't understand why he wanted to see me.

 

I wanted to ignore it if I could, but it was hard to ignore a person like him.

 

'What is really going on?'

 

In addition, the fact that my opponent was an imperial family was concerning.

 

For now, it was said that he was in a dangerous situation where he might die, but later, he would become the emperor.

 

It was no good to be hated by powerful people in this world.

 

'Come to think of it. Empress Isabelle did the same. I don't know why the imperial family is so obsessed with me.'

 

I made up my mind and wrote a letter.

 

After writing a brief note, I put it in an envelope and handed it to the nanny.

 

“What are you going to do?”

 

“I've decided to go.”

 

I decided to accept the second invitation.

 

 

'What is this?'

 

The moment I opened the drawing room door, I stopped in surprise.

 

Prince Luciano was seated first.

 

I greeted him with the calmest face possible.

 

“Hello, Prince Luciano.”

 

Prince Luciano stared at me instead of opening his mouth and welcoming me.

 

His gaze moved from head to toe.

 

The red eyes didn't contain any emotion, so I calmed down.

 

Come to think of it. The muffin incident kept coming to mind when I was alone.

 

Even when I stayed still, the shame sometimes soared to the top of my head and subsided repeatedly.

 

But when I met Prince Luciano, I didn't feel that way.

 

Perhaps because of those calm eyes.

 

First, I entered the drawing room and closed the door.

 

“What do you want to say?”

  

 

Then I got to the point right away.

 

Prince Luciano's mouth tightened.

 

“Let's sit down first.”

 

I sat on an empty sofa without complaining.

 

As soon as I sat down, Prince Luciano jumped to his feet.

 

And he went outside.

 

Huh?

 

Huh?

 

Huuuh?

 

What is it?

 

… I was left alone without any explanation.

 

I was so stunned and felt ridiculous, unable to react for a while.

 

It was a familiar situation.

 

Just said hello and then left.

Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks

 

It happened every time I visited Prince Luciano.

 

But I was invited today, right?

 

'You told me to come!'

 

I'd like to ask what the hell was going on, but the party involved wasn't here.

 

I tried to calm my emotions, but the more I did, the situation became more apparent.

 

He invited me, and he left me alone.

 

Who was the one who wanted me to come?

 

You invited me twice!

 

I didn't even cling to him as I used to, but I felt awful when the situation went on like this.

 

It was so amazing. Next time you call me, you will see!

 

'It's really over now! It's over!'

 

I jumped up at the thought of going home.

 

But before I left the drawing room, the door opened on its own.

In front of the door stood Prince Luciano.

 

“What is it?”

 

His tone was nonchalant.

 

“That's what I'd like to ask you.”

 

While answering bluntly, I found a 'thing' that Prince Luciano was holding.

 

'Huh? Why is that…?'

 

Though I knew it at a glance, I couldn't believe that Prince Luciano was holding it now. 

 

“Let's sit down again.”

 

So I sat down at Prince Luciano's words.

 

In the meantime, my gaze fell on what Prince Luciano was holding.

 

'No way, it's not.'

 

Prince Luciano put what he had brought on the table.

 

'Ey~ I don't think so.'

 

He picked it up.

 

Soon I heard the sound of a cup being filled, and a fragrant scent spread.

 

'Huh, really?'

 

Did he really bring tea?

 

What Prince Luciano brought was a tea set ready to drink right away.

 

He poured the tea into a cup and placed it in front of me.

 

I couldn't believe even when I saw it right in front of me.

 

I looked down at the teacup and then at Prince Luciano.

 

His face was as expressionless as usual.

 

He filled his cup with tea and took a sip casually.

 

It was as if we ever had such a time.

 

No, it was natural, like he used to do that.

 

I just stared blankly, and then Prince Luciano spoke.

 

“Don't just look at me like that. Drink it.”

 

It was amazing to be served tea for the first time and even drink it 'together'!

 

This was a bigger deal than when he invited me.

 

I know how sensitive he was to eat.

 

The man who had been serious just because I had brought a muffin was now offering me food.

 

Why did you suddenly give me tea?

 

You doubted me.

 

'Perhaps this tea was poisoned?'

 

It was almost suspicious.

 

I was confused because I couldn't understand Prince Luciano's behavior.

 

“I didn't give it to you to watch. I gave it to you to drink.”

 

I picked up the teacup only after hearing Prince Luciano's urging.

 

It was also more of a reflex in a dazed mind.

 

The teacup's warmth.

 

The aroma that spreads in the air.

 

It gave me a strange sense of reality.

 

I habitually put my tea in my mouth, and the moment the tea dipped in my mouth.

 

 

I was shocked.

 

What was it?

 

'Why are you so good at brewing tea?'

 

It didn't look like a very luxurious tea for the imperial palace.

 

However, maybe I didn't feel any thick taste because of the right temperature and time.

 

The ability to make intermediate goods feel high quality.

 

I'm angry.

 

It was natural that he was better than me, but he was even better than my nanny, the best master I knew.

 

If you were a member of the imperial family, would you only eat what others make?

 

'No matter how talented a male protagonist is, why are you even good at doing something like this?'

 

For some reason, my lips pouted.

 

“What's the matter?”

 

“What?”

 

“The look on your face now. No, forget it.”

 

Prince Luciano tried to say something more but swallowed it.

 

Since when did I know what he was thinking?

 

As I lifted my cup again, I emptied my mind and drank tea.

 

No, but how did you make this so well?

 

This was precisely just like a tea house, a tea house!

 

I shook off my complicated thoughts and concentrated on drinking delicious tea.

 

During tea time, Prince Luciano and I didn't speak to each other.

 

I didn't feel like playing the role of a sunshine heroine anymore, so I just drank the tea.

 

I felt calm because I didn't try to look good in any way.

 

It was delicious, so I kept drinking it, and the teapot was empty.

 

“Then, I'll be going home.”

 

The intention was to say, 'If you have something to say, hurry up.'

 

Prince Luciano looked at me for a moment and asked his subordinates to prepare a carriage but didn't ask me to do anything else.

 

“The carriage is ready.”

 

I woke up as the servant came and brought the news.

 

It was the first time we had parted way normally like this, so I was worried about the greeting.

 

I hesitated whether to say goodbye or not, but he stood up with me.

 

As he seemed to be leading the way, I couldn't say goodbye and walked behind him.

 

'You're coming out of the palace. Are you going to see me off?'

 

He has been weird today.

 

Did he have a fatal illness?

 

No. He was the main character who had lived very well for a long time.

 

Or was it because he had something to say but didn't know how to bring it up?

 

No matter how much I thought about it, it was strange and irritating.

 

Before I got into the carriage, I looked at Prince Luciano for the last time.

 

He seemed to have no intention of speaking.

 

“The tea was delicious. I'll get going. Goodbye.”

 

I bowed politely and got into the carriage.

 

I tried to close the door, but Prince Luciano was holding it.

 

I was about to ask you to close the door.

 

“Next time–”

 

I hesitated because the sound was so low that I doubted I might have misheard it.

 

“What did you say?”

 

Prince Luciano looked at me with his clear eyes.

 

And then he said, “When will you come back again?”
