~Chapter 19~
Something is strangeâŠâŠ
Liliana was confused.
When she was guided to Prince Williamâs room, someone who completely ignored her walking pace had forced her to hurry along at a small jogging speed.
But this prince walking beside her now was matching her pace properly.
Well, that was how it should be in the first place.
She wondered what on earth had happened inside this princeâs mind in such a short time.
Or perhaps that earlier little jog had just been her own misunderstanding?
She couldnât help but glance up at William walking beside her.
Noticing her gaze, William said,
âWhat is it? Not enough sweets yet?â
Then he patted Lilianaâs head and instructed a nearby servant to bring more sweets to the reception room as take-home treats.
The servantâs eyes widened as if shocked by something, then he bowed and left.
The sweets were delicious enough, thank you very much.
If she were going to receive souvenirs, she would gladly accept them.
However, she still hadnât managed to get the prince to say the words âchange the fiancĂ©e.â
After Lilianaâs âfeeding sessionâ ended, the muscular, laughter-prone young man Daniel had laughed at her endlessly, and then a servant came to call, saying, âHis Majesty the King is calling you.â
So they were now heading toward the reception room where the King, Queen, and her parents were waiting, leaving the still-laughing muscleman behind.
Honestly, the muscleman was laughing too much.
âSeriously, that musclehead Danny laughs way too much!â
The moment she recalled it, irritation rose and the words slipped out of her mouth.
But William seemed to hear her clearly.
âIs âDanny Muscleheadâ referring to Danny?â
Liliana nodded repeatedly.
âThat laugh was very rude to a lady. So as thanks, I shall spread the embarrassing nickname âDanny Muscleheadâ for him. I ask that you help spread it too, William-sama. And I will pray every day that his nose hair grows three times faster.â
âMay he be ashamed by exposing nose hair in front of the woman he likes!â
Despite clenching her fists and breathing heavily, the curse was so strangely trivial that William couldnât hold back and burst out laughing.
âNose hair growing three times faster⊠What a cute curse,â he chuckled.
Murmurs spread among the servants around them.
After all, the âIce Princeâ who never laughs was laughing.
