The Grand Duchess of the North Is Obsessed With Me - Chapter 47
47 – Crude Tang Tang Sect (2)
Arrived at the capital of the empire.
The three-day journey was not that difficult, and nothing particularly happened.
Rather, it’s so peaceful that it’s embarrassing.
The capital of the empire was definitely different from the desolate north. How to say… It is a feeling full of energy and vitality.
If the northern part has a slightly dangerous atmosphere and people are on edge, here it feels very peaceful.
If you ask which one is better, it will be difficult to pick one.
No, in the first place, there is Illencia in the north, so isn’t it the northern power?
Looking at the multicolored buildings indifferently, we continued to move.
Well, the first capital of the empire I saw.
What was it like….
“My eyes hurt so badly.”
Exactly, that was about it.

“We are this way. Cain.”
“Yes.”
During escort, don’t call him ‘Bocchan’. Recalling that fact again, he moves along with Berman. In the meantime, he calmly looked around.
Berman and I stuck behind her Elencia and followed her slowly but not far from her.
“There is nothing to be nervous about. There is very little chance of anything big happening anyway.”
“But you have to be careful.”
“Excellent.”
Cook Cook.
Before formally entering, Berman, who relieved my tension with a light joke for a while, changed his eyes when it was Ilencia’s turn to enter, raising the tension slightly.
Seeing that, I also raised the tension.
“You are the heir to the Archduchess of Derdamius, who guards the north, and the delegate with full authority….”

A large door opens, and the person next to it raises his voice.
“Illensia Khan Derdamius is entering!!”
Starting with those words, everyone froze to a standstill.
At one step, it draws everyone’s attention.
At one step of Illencia, everyone’s eyes gather, they exclaim in admiration, and even their thoughts disappear.
Usually a cute and charming puppy… Or if it was a fox, now it looked like a tiger.
Overwhelming sense of intimidation.
Illencia seemed to take it for granted that she hadn’t learned swords or magic… Perhaps there was an unspoken sense of intimidation beyond those who reached that stage.
It is the natural sense of intimidation that a ruler exudes.
A higher level than what is commonly felt by sword masters and archmages… The quality of a monarch felt in those who rule and reign over them.
At that overwhelming presence, everyone in the party hall hardened like ice.
“That, that one….”
Swoop.
Illencia’s red eyes scan the crowd.
The moment their eyes met, everyone shuddered and shut their mouths and avoided their gaze.
Among their hardened bodies, the only thing they can move is one pupil.
Illensia, who was coldly looking down at the people who had hardened with eyes that would not allow even a glance, moved her steps.
Leaving behind those who secretly took a breath at the feeling of intimidation, Illensia sat down in her seat leisurely.
Oh, that’s bloody….
She secretly stuck out her tongue and stood next to Illencia, and Illencia looked at me and smiled slightly with her eyes.
I don’t know why he’s so docile and arrogant with others, but so gentle with me.
I unknowingly coughed and looked away at Illensia’s cute eye smile.
“Huh….”
I heard a satisfying laugh from somewhere, but I pretended not to know it and focused on the situation around me.
It doesn’t matter if the family has a low status, but the law of the social church is that the higher the status, the later it appears.
There are almost no families with a higher status than the grand duchess, and since they came in a little late on purpose, all that’s left is….
“Imperial sun! The first princess of the Empire, protected by the Goddess of Light! Lord Ignite del Forne is entering!!”
It must be the main character of the party.
Ttogak, Ttogak.
It is different from Illensia, who appeared with a charisma that controlled the surroundings.
If Illencia has the feeling of overwhelming her audience, then the princess….
“As expected of the princess….”
“You look dazzlingly beautiful today too!”
A feeling that gently catches the attention of the audience.
If Illencia was the moon floating in the night sky, the princess felt like the sun.
The princess moved her steps toward her podium with a gentle smile whenever her eyes met with others.
Her warm and gentle feeling Her, but with her uneasy feeling, I made an effort not to make eye contact with her and quietly asked Berman.
“Isn’t His Majesty the Emperor coming?”
“You said you wouldn’t come today. Maybe….”
Berman did not finish his words and stared at the princess.
Could it be because of the succession dispute?
The Emperor of the Empire had a total of seven children.
Among them, there are a total of three children who are fighting over the position of the next emperor. The 1st and 2nd princes, and the 1st princess in front of me.
Clearly, despite the fact that the first prince is the most orthodox, there were evaluations that her temper was impatient and simple.
Then the second prince….
Although this side of her mother’s family is strong, it is said that it is not suitable for an emperor because it is a little weak and timid.
Lastly, Princess 1.
It is said that if she had not been born as a woman, she would have become emperor no matter what her succession rank was….
In fact, the person who is at the forefront of the succession race.
‘Is it a push….’
At this princess’s birthday party, of course, all the eminent nobles of the empire would have gathered.
In such a situation, if the emperor did not appear and only the princess appeared.
She’ll get all her attention.
This can only be interpreted as implicitly saying that the emperor is pushing her princess.
I looked at the princess standing on the podium.
All the lights at the party are turned off, and only the light shines on the podium. The princess received everyone’s gaze and smiled gently.
“I would like to thank everyone who came to celebrate my birthday today.”
Fluttering silver hair. Blue eyes staring at the other warmly, white skin and red lips.
From her overall warm and gentle feeling, I….
———For some reason, I felt a sense of rejection.
A visceral, uneasy feeling that rises from deep within the chest.
As I turned my gaze to Illencia, the moment I made eye contact with Illencia’s red eyes, I felt relieved without even realizing it.
“… What’s the matter? Cain?”
“Huh? Not a big deal.”
Swoop.
Her worried expression. I stroked her hair briefly to reassure her, then looked at her with a small smile.
… ?
Turning my gaze back to the princess, I had no choice but to stare into her blue eyes for a moment and freeze.
What is it?
Was it just staring at me?
For some reason, I narrowed my eyes for an eerie feeling, but at that time, the princess was already looking elsewhere.
There can be no misunderstanding.
I was so sure. Because, among so many people, he made eye contact with me.
Anyone who has ever stood on stage will know.
It was difficult to make eye contact with people in the audience unless you intentionally tried to make eye contact.
“… So, I hope you all have a good time.”
After I finished speaking on the podium, I could only swallow dry saliva as I looked at the silver haired back of my head.
Something is wrong… Why?
It feels like something is about to happen….

Looking at the princess, I couldn’t hide my bizarre anxiety, so I turned my gaze in surprise at something pressing on my side.
“What are you looking at?”
“… To? Huh?”
Is it my imagination that Illencia’s eyes feel cold?
“Is she that pretty?”
“…… What is that again?”
Illencia seemed to have misunderstood something, and as I was about to open her mouth, she strode towards me and pushed her face.
“Did you stare at her because she was so pretty?”
“Don’t… Be careful with your words. No matter what, what is she to the princess….”
This is the imperial palace.
If you make one mistake, you may lose your head. Really.
“…… Are you on her side?”
Oh.
I said this because I was worried about Illencia, but somehow the situation seems to have gotten worse.
For some reason, I couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat as I looked into Illencia’s eyes, which were more sunken than before.
I don’t know what will happen if I leave it like this, so I have to hurry up and calm it down.
“That’s not it, I….”
“You seem to have a very good relationship with escort. Grand Duchess Illencia.”
I was interrupted by a lithe, but somehow chilly voice that I couldn’t possibly hear right now.
At the same time, I noticed a black aura rising around Illencia.
I swallowed dry saliva and bowed my head like Berman, who was standing next to me like a folding screen.
“The Sun of the Empire, the Supreme Light. Meet the first princess.”
“The Sun of the Empire, the Supreme Light. It is an honor to meet the 1st Princess.”
As I bent down to say hello, a soft voice burst into laughter.
“Keep your head up.”
Illensia, who had been frozen cold at the soft laugh, reluctantly opened her mouth.
“It’s been a while, poor princess.”
“It’s been a while, Grand Duchess.”
Blue eyes greeted gently and red eyes greeted coldly.
At the same time, I felt it.
This is it. It’s not an easy fight.
… Scared.
