Celebrity Lady

“Are you crazy? Are you really crazy?”

“It’s just a sentence. Just a sentence.”

After the journey home and while she was exercising, Wishit nagged her ears.

After hearing that she had handed Lark a note, he became angry like this.

“Did I not tell you that I want to help the crown prince?”

“I didn’t know you wanted to help in such a thoughtless way. You are a fool.”

“Did I do something crazy enough to be called a fool?”

“Of course.”

Wishit added, grinding his teeth.

“Who in the world knows at this point in time that the crown prince is suspicious of his aide and that he is agonizing over cutting his head? No one knows but the crown prince himself. Unless someone broke into the crown prince’s head.”

“That’s right.”

“But you’re showing it off? Are you advertising I know the future? Do you want to spread a rumour that you’re suspicious?”

“Sure! You got it correctly. I want to advertise and spread rumours.”

I answered plainly and finished exercising. Looking at me rolling around the mat with a calm face, Wishit laughed as if it was absurd.

“There is no way I can help the crown prince without letting him know that I know something. Even if there is, I’ll have to say it in such a frustrating roundabout way. I can’t afford to make such a move one by one now. I’m busy enough with my work.”

“What—!”

“Now, listen.”

I calmed down the excited Wishit and said.

“The crown prince must have been very surprised to see the note by now. ‘Cause I know he’s suspecting his aide to be a spy. Well, here’s the problem.”

“…”

“What is the crown prince’s first thought after reading the note? Subjectively. Answer me.”contemporary romance

“I’m sure he’s wondering what kind of suspicious woman you are. An aristocratic lady locked in the house and never coming out knows something she shouldn’t know and is trying to save the life of a spy whose head he is planning to cut. He might think you’re on the side of his political opponent.”

“Good answer. If the crown prince is an idiot, he will come to investigate me after cutting off the head of the aide as scheduled, even after reading my note.”

In the previous life, the blond-haired aide, who was no less than Lark’s limb, was beheaded.

This was because the aide leaked the unknown group and internal evidence, reaching the ears of Lark and the parliamentary nobles.

Eventually, he was beheaded for plotting treason.

‘The truth is, even the smartest crown prince can’t believe him… it was a very elaborate set-up.’

I discovered that Lark’s aide was beheaded for conspiracy a long time later.

So when his aide died, Lark died, and Nathan, the second prince, came to the throne more than 10 years later.

It was because of the spilt words of Brother Victor, who was doing well as a knight of the new emperor, who came to visit me after drinking.

“I, really… burp. How many years have I spent in the service of the crazy emperor… as a knight of the Order…”

“What do you mean, Brother? Why did you drink so much?”

“Ruby, do you remember the late Highness Lark, who died long ago? Now that I think about it, there wasn’t a better emperor than him…”

At that time, Nathan told Victor that he had previously removed Lark like a heroic story.

Nathan must have been drunk too and made a slip of the tongue, but… It was a long time later, and Nathan was an emperor wielding almost uncontrollable power around that time, so he must have had nothing to worry about.

It is sad to say, but struggles for the throne were common, and even the hand that took the seat by killing blood was evaluated as an ability.

“The aide of His Highness Lark… was Ren his name? Ruby, I don’t know if you remember too, but once upon a time, he was beheaded…”

“Ah, mm. I remember.”

“What did that bastard emperor say again? If we hadn’t dealt with Ren, I’d never have dreamed of the assassination of His Highness Lark. A terrifyingly talented guy overflowing with loyalty who’d stay by his side 24 hours a day. That’s why I took care of him first…”

“Oh my God. Wasn’t that person beheaded for betraying His Highness the crown prince?”

“Mm. Isn’t it ridiculous? Even being framed, he was trying hard to dig in the back of Nathan that bastard…”

The conversation that day was shocking, but that was all. Many years have passed since the death of Lark and his aide.

However, Victor decided that he could no longer work under the emperor who had ascended the throne in a way that was contrary to his moral standards, and he retired as a result.

That’s the end. The memories I had of Lark.

“An aide named Ren was such a good obstacle that the second prince had to get somehow rid of him first. In other words, this is the minimum brake that the crown prince must keep alive not to be assassinated easily. So I have to save him.”

“You are a saint. This guy and that guy, you look like you’re going to die trying to save them all, but you’re so carefree.”

“Your worries are right. The crown prince will wonder how I know of this top secret and will be wary of it. Of course, he won’t believe me immediately, but he’ll start to doubt me.”

“Right. I won’t be surprised if the startled crown prince barge in here right now.”

“You know he’s not that stupid. Wouldn’t he try talking to me first? He may be wondering how I know this.”

“Then, is it important for the crown prince to believe in you? What are you going to do?”

“How to make him believe? I know everything about the future, so if he wants it, I’ll tell him to cooperate.”

Wishit’s mouth was wide open.

“Are you really crazy?”

“I’m very sane. I don’t like acting in a roundabout way with a headache. I provide future information, and the crown prince cooperates without a doubt. That way, we can watch a happy ending without wasting time.”

“Someone, please bring this crazy guy back. If you want to reveal that you know the future, you must let him know that you have a spirit.”

“Perhaps so. In fact, I want to tell him that I have a spirit.”

“…”

Wishit had now given up thinking and had a bewildered expression.

“Of course, I’m going to lie. I have to keep silent about the fact that what I have is the spirit of wish.”

“You’re going to lie?”

“Mm. I thought the crown prince was a decent man, but apart from that, the fact that there is a contractor who has signed a contract with the spirit of wish must be a threat to him.”

There is a good reason why the spirit of wish is classified as a dangerous group.

What if the spirit of wish grants even a foolish heart’s wish? It is not difficult to change the throne or topple the world. Lark, who will become the future master of the empire, will not be threatened.

“Even if I tell him every day that I don’t want to do stupid things with the spirit of wish, the crown prince would have no choice but to be wary of me. He might be trying to get rid of it somehow. That will be a little troublesome.”

“So, what kind of lie are you going to tell?”

“Ah, let’s talk about that later. I sweat a lot, and my body stinks. I’m going to wash up now.”

I was trying to push Wishit away when he stopped me.

“No, hey! Tell me everything before you go!”

“My mouth hurts! Get out of the way!”

I ran through the room quickly just in case I was caught and stopped.

“That’s right.”

“What?”

When I turned around, Wishit was looking at me with his arms crossed with a dissatisfied expression on his face.

“Of course, in the plans I’ve been talking about so far, there are a lot of variables.”

“I’m glad you know.”

“The crown prince could barge in and destroy my family and me without even thinking about talking.”

“…”

“He might come to talk, but if the conversation is not in the direction he wants, he might just screw it all up.”

“Yes, you should have thought of such a natural possibility from the beginning.”

“Of course I gave him the note after I thought about it all. That’s why this is a close game.”

“You like it so close. Do you have ten lives?”

“I have two. I have two wishes left.”

“Aha.”

Wishit exclaimed.

“I see, from the very beginning, you were acting boldly intending to make a wish if you screw it up.”

I nodded my head to Wishit, who said Now I understand.

“When the worst of the mentioned variables happen, I will use my second wish. I can’t be late, so I’ll tell you in advance.”

“Good. Which?”

There are only two wishes. And no matter what happens, I’m determined to leave one wish empty, so I have exactly one wish.

‘I decided to use this important wish for you.’

Recalling Lark’s face, I hoped he would make a wise choice.

But, if he doesn’t act smart as I wish.

“We have to completely revise the plan from the beginning…”

What can I do? If I fail, I’ll try again.

“You can turn back the time. Before I met the crown prince today.”

The next day.

The Diollus Duchy was turned upside down.
