The Blond Male Lead is Too Much - Chapter 93
Only Ran(o)vel dot com
Johanna took a deep breath for a moment and then asked in a cold voice.
“Why did you come here?”
“To see His Highness the Crown Prince.”
“I’m sorry, but I have a prior engagement. I will be spending the whole day with Your Majesty and even receiving flowers, so please go back without any fuss.”
Shailene didn’t even blink at the seemingly polite verbal abuse.
In the first place, she hadn’t come here on her own; she had already figured out Linus’ schedule to some extent through Dane.
So I took a sip of my tea and asked calmly.
“Is this the schedule that Your Majesty has agreed to?”
“… … Not yet. But I’m sure you’ll agree as soon as you meet me.”
“Well, I don’t know if that will happen with me.”
Johanna’s face hardened into a confident smile.
She too was concerned that their relationship might be deeper than she thought, as she had seen Shailene and Linus dance together several times.
She gritted her teeth and snapped in a sharp voice.
“Don’t be so presumptuous and go back when I speak nicely. Do you think you’ve become something by clinging to the Duke of Diat?”
“Well, I guess I guess I achieved something once I became the social queen.”
“… … !”
Shailene shrugged and took it calmly.
Johanna frowned as memories of the painful preliminaries came flooding back.
Shailene said to her like that.
“And I have no intention of going, so if you don’t want to see me, go. Or, say something bad about me.”
Red, plump lips added an asymmetrical curve.
“Your Majesty wants a socialite, not a loser who drops out of the competition.”
Even though it was an obvious provocation, Johanna just ignored it.
“This is really… … !”
She jumped up from her seat and tilted the teacup she was holding towards Shailene.
Shailene, who had expected it to happen when Johanna’s hands began to tremble, quickly grabbed the cushion next to her and blocked it.
And then he picked up his own teacup and poured some on Johanna as well.
Chook―.
“Whoa! Are you crazy?!”
Johanna almost screamed as she spilled the tea that had hit her properly.
Shailene answered nonchalantly, shaking out the cushions.
“Who said it first? If the princess hadn’t picked up her teacup, I would have stayed still.”
“You really―!”
It was at that moment that Johanna, unable to control her rising anger, sharpened her fingernails and was about to rush at Shailene.
“stop.”
The living room door opened and Linus appeared.
His golden eyes scanned the two people’s appearances and took in the situation.
It looks like they fought while waiting in the same waiting room.
“What are you both doing now?”
As soon as Linus narrowed his eyes and said something, Johanna furrowed her eyebrows and made a pitiful expression.
“majesty!”
She ran to Linus, her hair fluttering like a tragic heroine.
“Do you see? Lady Charophé threw tea at me.”
He actively complained, showing off his wet hair and the hem of his clothes.
Shailene, who was laughing behind Johanna, calmly explained.
“I was so surprised when the princess sprayed the tea first that I tried to dodge, but my hand slipped.”
He asked a worried question with a kind and gentle face, opposing Johanna, who was acting like a victim.
“But it’s fortunate that the tea is cold. Are you okay? I didn’t do it on purpose.”
“Ha, how disgusting!”
Johanna, who had been mumbling loudly to herself, again pitifully appealed to Linus.
“Your Majesty, don’t fall for that cunning excuse. Young Lady Charophée first… …!”
“Stop it.”
But Linus raised his hand to stop her again.
Linus looked at the two women alternately, and the person who raised his hand was―.
“If Lady Charophé made a mistake, the Princess will also be lenient. Do you really need to cause trouble on a festive day like this?”
“… … !”
If it was obvious, it was Shailene.
Johanna, whose face was suddenly hurt, was unable to properly control her facial expressions.
‘Surely the Crown Prince is seriously interested in a woman like this?’
I was hoping that Dane and Linus would just be friends and just know each other.
Just as Johanna’s expectations were shattered, Shailene poured oil on the fire.

“Oh, I’m sorry.”
He apologized with his hands clasped in front of him and his nose wrinkled in an exaggerated way, just like a cute emoticon.
He wasn’t really sorry at all, but he was just trying to save his image by apologizing first and making it easier for Linus to take his side.
Linus didn’t miss this either and nodded to Johanna with a displeased expression.
“Look, you’re not even apologizing. The princess should quickly accept it and apologize.”
“… … .”
“Princess, are you ignoring me now?”
Linus’s brow twitched.
Johanna, biting her lip because her pride was hurt, recalled her father’s words.
During the founding of the country, he was asked to stamp his seal on the crown prince.
Finally, she opened her mouth with a reluctant expression.
“Oh, no. That can’t be true. I’m sorry too, Lady Charophé.”
“yes.”
Shailene accepted it quickly and nodded generously.
Linus asked Johanna, who was getting even more upset because of it.
“So, why did the princess come to see me?”
“Oh, I have something to tell you.”
She barely managed to calm her anger and her expression changed into a smooth smile.
“Your Majesty, come and enjoy the national foundation day with me. I have also prepared a special gift.”
Johanna took an embroidered handkerchief out of her bosom.
She did not embroider it herself; she had her maid make it for her.
Shailene’s eyes widened when she saw the handkerchief.
‘Surely the crown prince won’t fall for it… …?’
Linus spoke with an unreadable expression as he glanced at me.
“I’m sorry, but I’m a bit busy. That probably won’t be possible.”
“… … Then, would it be okay if I accepted a gift?”
In order to proceed with the engagement, we had to somehow create some small connection.
Looking down at the handkerchief that Johanna held out, Linus remembered what his aide had said a few days ago.
‘His Majesty the Emperor has been on friendly terms with the devout Duke of Calciad for the past few years. The Duke was originally close to Her Highness the First Empress, but it seems their relationship has grown distant recently.’
‘Perhaps this is your chance. From now on, it would be best to avoid contact with Calciard as much as possible.’
Of course, Linus had no intention of pleasing the Duke of Calciard.
But, thinking of the empress who had struggled to resume her activities, it was wise not to make enemies right away.
Linus also personally thought that it would be better for Shailene to accept it now.
“……I get it.”
After much thought, Linus reluctantly accepted the handkerchief.
Johanna, who had gently handed him a handkerchief, looked at him intently, as if expecting something.
It was common for men and women to exchange flowers and handkerchiefs at Geonjeokjeon.
Knowing that it would be polite to give her a flower, Linus called his servant and ordered him to bring it from the garden.
Shailene, who was watching the scene, was a little shocked.
‘Wow, I didn’t know the Crown Prince would receive a real handkerchief… … .’
And giving flowers to the princess.
Linus handed the flowers the servant had brought to Johanna without even checking them properly.
“Take it.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Johanna also had no complaints as she was only concerned about receiving flowers.
She deliberately glanced at Shailene and smiled brightly.
“I will treasure it, Your Majesty.”
“… Let’s go now. I have some work to do so I can’t talk for long.”
“Yes, Your Majesty. I will see you again next time. May the sun god’s blessings always be with you.”
Johanna, who had greeted her elegantly, glanced at Shailene.
It felt wrong to leave them alone, but there was no reason to stay any longer. After she left the living room with regrets.
Linus turned his head and spoke to the still dazed Shailene.
“Young-ae Charophé, please follow me.”

Honestly, I thought the Crown Prince would flatly refuse the Princess’ handkerchief.
But not only did he accept it right away, he even gave me a flower right in front of my eyes.
‘Is this okay? Has your favorability towards me dropped?’
With an uneasy mind, I opened the Crown Prince’s favorability test.
【Prince Linus’s Favorability: 70】
No, it actually went up… … .
I followed the crown prince in confusion and suddenly asked.
“Where are we going now?”
