Chris's Faith of Fire

Just like educating children who have too wild ideas, don't be too naive.

Yeah?Is it really?

My back leaned against the stone wall of the bath as if I suddenly lost strength.

Noelle also acted completely unaware at the banquet. Was it really that I was too preconceived and wrongly blamed others?

But it was obviously that guy I saw, was it really an illusion?

But if it weren't for his gust of wind magic, I wouldn't have been snatched away by the little thief.

This is strange no matter how you think about it...

"too weird."

"It's better not to think about it so much, Your Highness~ You have been very tired recently due to the affairs of the Shahavier family."

This kid is truly an angel!It's not for the purpose of pretending to be cute or anything else. I feel that she cares about me from the bottom of her heart. It would be great if the person I am engaged to is her.But we are all girls now, and we still have boyfriends.Ah, Crowe feels like he's getting in the way right now!

Alas, I feel a bit dizzy after thinking about too many things. I am thinking about all kinds of random things.

"Well, let's check with the guards who were with me that day and Duke Shahavier himself. If the Duke says again that he did not act casually, I will apologize to Master Noelle."

"Your Highness is so mature~ You are worthy of being the Crystal Princess of the Kingdom of Fire."

"Well, don't call me that nickname... It's getting a little hot. I'm going up."

"Ah, I'm here to help you change your clothes."

"Thank you~~"

My mood got better, so I hummed the game theme song I was good at in my previous life and opened my arms to let Sophie help wipe away the water droplets.

"I have never heard the song Your Highness sings~~"

"I can teach you when I have time."

“Hey, that’s such an honor~~”

Just as we were chatting, the light suddenly dimmed.

"Oh? Oh! What's going on? There's a power outage?"

No, there is no electricity in this world, but I said this subconsciously by accident.

The magic light in the bathroom flickered on and off, but the one in the dressing area was very bright.

"Be careful! Your Highness..."

Sophie's body pressed up, and I felt my chest was very soft, and then I lost my balance and fell to the ground.

The unstable magic lamp just now regained its brightness, and a figure appeared in front of me. Because I fell on my back, I could see it very clearly.

"No...No Noelle!!"

"Hey, what's going on? Is it Master Noel from the Shahavier family?"

Sophie, who still didn't know what happened, hurriedly tried to move away, but I caught her.

"Idiot, do you move away now because you want me to appear naked in front of this guy?"

"Oh! Sorry."

"Don't move!"

On the surface, I was surprisingly calm, and I didn't forget to complain about Sophie.But in fact, I don’t know if it was Crystal’s character that was causing trouble in her mood. I was so shy that I was so shy that my face turned red as if it was about to burn, even though I couldn’t see it!But it must be so.

But I was so shy, but the blond boy in front of me just gave me a cold look.

"Hmph, excuse me, little princess."

"what?"

"Do you still want me to say it again~~ Xiaodian, not only is she small, but her chest is extremely barren."

"What what what what what what what!"

How dare you be so arrogant when you appear in the wrong place at the wrong time!How unforgivable!

But not only did this kid not apologize at all, he actually went to my clothes.

"This is a warning. Don't have any thoughts of marrying me. I hate you! Do you understand? That's it for today. Don't bother me again."

"........."

The contrast between front and back was so great that my vocal cords couldn't make any sound.

I obviously wanted to curse this guy, but I couldn't find the words for a while.

"Wait...wait, what do you want to do!"

Seeing him reaching for our clothes, he finally managed to make a sound.

"I told you it was just a warning."

The boy picked up my and Sophie's clothes and left the bathroom as quickly as a gust of wind.

what!what the hell!

What is the matter with this person!

"Your Highness!"

Sophie quickly wrapped a towel around me.

"I told you this bastard is a liar! Pretending to be innocent! Bad boy!"

"Your Highness, please don't be angry. I'll go find some clothes for you first."

"Well, this account must be settled! I will complain to Duke Shahavier tomorrow!"

Chapter 18 18. Attack in the Shadow - 2

When everyone was about to enjoy their dinner the next day, I waited on the road to the restaurant.

"Your Highness, this is not good."

Sophie stood next to me, holding the prepared tools in her hands, looking frightened.

Noelle had been with Duke Sajavir and his father during the day today. Although I was also invited, I was so annoyed that I was afraid of confronting him and didn't say anything. Finally, I calmed down after Sophie's dissuasion.

But no matter what, we must explain this matter clearly before dinner!

"Actually, we can discuss this with the Duke and His Majesty after dinner."

"No! If you think about it carefully, they might decide on the engagement during the dinner, and then there will be no room for me to speak after the meal."

"But, even if we stop Master Noelle alone now, it won't be of any use..."

"No, I want that boy to take the initiative to admit his evil deeds, and then let him tell the Duke that he refuses the engagement!"

"Your Highness, although I can understand your feelings about what happened yesterday, Master Noel probably can't make the decision in this matter."

Sophie said helplessly.

Of course I know, but there is no place to vent this resentment. Even if I have to beat him, I will do it when my father and the others are not around. Then I will pretend to be nothing while waiting for the boy to cry and complain to the Duke. Looks like I don’t know~~

"Your Highness...why are you suddenly hiding behind the stone pillar and laughing..."

"Wordy! Hey, get ready Sophie, he's here, alone!"

"Your Highness, I still feel that it is not good to do such a thing..."

"Snapshot does what I said. Prepare to use the rope to secure him. This kid's magic is quite powerful."

"Wow, why do we feel like the bad guys?"

The boy's pace was very brisk, and it took only a few words to arrive. I hurriedly tightened my body and hid in the corner, waiting like a hunter for the opportunity for the prey to come to me.

Ta...ta...ta...ta

The footsteps in leather boots were getting closer and closer, and my heartbeat was getting faster and faster.

"On the count of three, we'll rush out... Do you hear me? Don't close your eyes..."

I whispered into Sophie's ear. I don't know if it was because her ears were particularly sensitive, but the girl's face turned red and she nodded her head.

"three……"

"Two...hold still."

Very good, at this distance it seems like he wouldn't be able to react quickly enough to use magic to counterattack.

"one!"

I rushed out and tried to push Noelle down, but I missed the target.

"How come...there is nothing?"

How come, no one appears in the corridor at all? Am I wrong?

There was no time to think about this. During this short period of thinking, my body had already collapsed due to loss of balance.

I didn't even have time to protect my face, it felt like I would fall very hard.

I closed my eyes instinctively out of fear.

"Uh... huh?"

I thought I would fall heavily to the ground, but all I could feel was the warm touch from my neck and knees that were firmly supporting my body.

Is it Sophie?

But when he opened his eyes the next second, what appeared in front of him was the person he wanted to ambush just now.

He was looking at me with a smile.

"Are you playing hide and seek~~"

"Stinky brat!"

"Huh? Kid?"

"Get away from me, my face is too close, too close!"

The young man’s delicate eyebrows and the slender eyelashes like a girl’s were clearly visible to me. Please stay away!

Definitely don't think he's cute!

"Your Highness, are you alright!"

Sophie was hesitant about taking action, so she didn't seem to rush out at all, so she was fine.

But the guy holding me like a princess right now is Noelle!Because I got angry when I saw this guy, I subconsciously said unpleasant words.

"Well, I don't know why Chris is so angry...but it's okay."

"Who allowed you to call me by my name? Please say it properly to Your Highness Crystal! And let me down quickly! I was touched by your hand! Let me go!"

"Ah, I'm sorry! But please don't keep moving your arms and legs, you will fall off."

After a fuss, Noelle gently put me down, and the feeling of his touch still lingers on my calf.

I patted my legs and back like dust, and Noelle smiled bitterly when he saw my obvious disgust.

"Um, have I done anything that would trouble your Highness Chris? I always feel like you hate me."

There's no point in pretending to be innocent!I won’t mention what happened in the alley before. Last night, he said a bunch of provocative words to us with a cold look. Are you going to act like nothing happened now?

"Don't you know best? Did you take our clothes to embarrass us, or did you take them back to do something obscene? It's unbelievable that someone who clearly looks like a teenager has such a habit!"

Noelle tilted her head cutely as if she didn't understand what was happening.

what!It’s that innocent reaction again, it really pisses me off!

But then Sophie took my arm and leaned closer to say something.

"Your Highness, maybe Master Noel really doesn't know anything."

"How is that possible! You were also one of the victims last night."

He was so arrogant that he appeared in front of us and used that strange magic to make the magic lamp flicker on and off.

"You saw it clearly, that guy's face in the bathroom."

"Well... Your Highness, because you said not to move, I didn't see whether he was Master Noelle."
