Capitulo 161

Episode 161- Special 3.

Fucking Type 1?

I looked at Lily with eyes searching for interpretation.

She said with a confused look on her face.

Miss, I believe you’re talking about Duke Malpyrion.

She seemed to know more or less what was going on.

Daniel was unrivaled when it came to administration, if not in other aspects.

There were many administrative tasks to be solved, such as regaining the title and absorbing the territory held by the Grand Duke.

Like Aster, who did not have many sides, there were few people he could trust and entrust with such a task.

‘Well, I don’t know about Daniel, but I’m sure about that.’

He must have been embarrassed by my sudden visit today. He wanted to avoid meeting me, so his uneasy look was very cute.

‘What do you like, why are you laughing so much?

Fio! You shouldn’t talk to her like that.

When Lily scolded Fio for the way she was talking, her shoulders slumped.

Lily still felt uncomfortable because of Fio’s attack of affection. Fortunately, they seemed to be getting closer and closer these days.

Why, Karina said she didn’t care.

Yuck.

He seems a little upset, though…

Lily, can I sleep with you tonight?

What are you talking about!

Fio’s bold expression of affection like that surprised even me, who had seen a rampant love story in my previous life.

Even in human form, he seemed to wag his tail.

Still, I thought I’d like to help out a little.

I’m going for a little walk, so you two stay here.

My lady, I’ll go with you.

No. You wait here. I have something to organize my thoughts for a moment.

I left the building and left the two of them behind.

Fio was staying at the Autumn Palace, located at the far corner of the Imperial Palace.

There’s nothing good about being noticed by people, and Fio doesn’t like crowds either, so he said it was a place of his own choosing.

Still, I do what I think.

The garden of the Autumn Palace was not boring thanks to the flowers and trees colored in all sorts of colors depending on the season.

As I slowly walked through the garden, I saw someone running in a hurry.

I squinted to see who it was.

And the one who came running was not a very welcome person.

* * *

So let’s go back today.

Daniel bowed and quickly left the room. Seeing that he had finished most of his assignment, he couldn’t even catch him.

Áster thought.

He wondered if Daniel was such a resourceful person.

The surprise appearance of Karina, who he thought would be busy spending time with her family.

And even Daniel, who noticed himself as a ghost after looking embarrassed for a moment.

You’re out of luck today.

Looking at the man walking away from the window, Aster sighed.

Daniel had bought one of the attendants off early.

He wanted to know if the princess visited the emperor when she received visitors.

But he almost didn’t have to, since Karina didn’t visit him often.

It was clear that Karina had visited suddenly, and the emperor, who always seemed relaxed, was clearly puzzled.

Do you know where the princess went?

I think she went to meet Lord Fio, who is staying at the Autumn Palace.

If it was Fio, he was a knight brought by the emperor.

It was rumored that he, whose origins are unknown, beat the imperial knights with his bare hands because he was stronger with his body than with a sword.

He was so famous that even Daniel, who was not interested in martial arts, knew about it.

‘How does that knight know Karina?’

And at the same time, he felt sad.

To think that she had pushed her childhood friend away so coldly and was kind to other men.

Daniel’s steps towards the Autumn Palace quickened.

His heart began to beat wildly when he saw Karina in the distance.

In case she saw him and returned, his heart became more urgent.

Fortunately, she didn’t run away.

Karina.

It’s been a while, Duke.

Daniel felt overwhelmed by the urge to get down on his knees and beg.

But if that happens, I won’t be able to stand by her side even as a friend.

What are you doing so far away?

Daniel could say nothing at the sight that he no longer felt hatred or resentment.

He couldn’t think of anything to say.

Karina looked at Daniel with pitiful eyes and thought.

Nothing has changed.

Even during Tatiana’s time, he was always by her side as a friend, and it was obvious that he was also trying to do the same this time with her.

In that case, it was better not to show the gap first.

I heard the news. They say he’s getting engaged soon.

Ah, yes.

Congratulations. I hope you won’t leave him alone this time.

Karina kept talking even when she saw Daniel’s expression harden at her words.

Just like last time, don’t treat other girls well as if she was his friend.

I mention about Tatiana.

I want her to be faithful to only one person.

As Daniel’s face became increasingly distorted, Karina became apathetic.

Do that for me, my friend.

Karina.

I know what you mean, but I remember this story ended a while ago.

It was creepy that he was trying to use her this time to make another victim.

Rather, it worked out well.

I couldn’t live without seeing Daniel anyway.

He was also the head of a powerful family and would be needed during Aster’s reign.

So this time, I had to clearly draw the line.

So I don’t want anything like today to happen again. This would be disrespectful to your future fiancée.

I wanted to tell the new girl to run away if they were around. However, aristocratic marriages are not decided according to the heart.

It’s probably the best thing to do.

Then I’ll be back.

Seeing Karina turn away without remorse, Daniel shouted.

What about my feelings, what am I supposed to do then?

Karina looked back at him as she heard his pitiful voice.

She hoped, but it seemed really unfair.

Aren’t you supposed to give me time to clear my mind too? If you throw me out all at once like this….

I don’t know what kind of time to organize your mind you’re referring to.

Karina looked straight into Daniel’s eyes.

She wondered if he would really spit out his little heart.

He always closed his eyes and avoided when he was in a difficult situation.

Even when Tatiana opened her heart to him, unlike the other male protagonists, he chose to stay by her side as a friend instead of clinging to her.

He stayed by Tatiana’s side, turning a blind eye to all her strange behavior and even cleaning up after her.

But Karina had no intention of doing that.

So she waited for Daniel to reveal her behavior.

I, I…

Daniel, whose lips were trembling, finally could not speak and lowered his head.

Karina is completely disappointed in Daniel.

As expected.

Although he has come this far, he was afraid of being rejected.

In the end, Karina decided to play the villain.

I have no desire to be your friend. for ever and ever.

Karina.

Since when did she become his sad opponent?

He seemed to cling more desperately after realizing he couldn’t have her. If it wasn’t for that, he wouldn’t look like he was going to get down on his knees right now and cling to her.

I just want one thing. We…

What’s between us?

Nothing. Only if we ran into each other could we at least say hello.

I wanted Daniel to know that this was a relationship she could tolerate.

I heard the story. That Tatiana had a special power.

Did he want to talk about how unfair it is?

It was disappointing to think that he was no different than Andrew.

It could be my fault, of course, that we ended up like this, but still….

Daniel hesitated before opening his mouth.

It’s not all my fault.

There was nothing wrong with what he said.

Not only Daniel, but also the other male protagonists.

They all fell in love with Karina and then were influenced by Tatiana.

Also, unlike Andrew, Daniel didn’t even know about it until the end. In a way, you could say that they too are victims of the bracelet.

But…

Even if it is, there is no reason why I should accept you.
