The Young Villain Dreams of a Golden Spoon - Chapter 5

Iremembered the maid that I had only seen in novels or TV.

Is there a butler or something? I sometimes read books that were difficult to grasp properly because there were many parts that were worn out and torn.

The same was true when I secretly glanced at the TV drama that was playing at an electronic store I was passing by. The virtual world was full of mysterious things that poor me could not have.

The wealthy or rich person’s maid, butler, housekeeper, and secretary. I admired such people. At least to me, they seemed to live in plenty of luxury.

It was such a poor life that I did not admire the rich, but the people who worked for them.

So when I asked him with my eyes twinkling even more, he looked at me silently and nodded.

Was it a really weird question? Are maids and butlers too obvious in this world? Is it weird to be curious about this in the first place? Anyway, Alicia was a precious princess.

‘Well, who cares. You said you don’t remember.’

When I glanced at him, there was no change in his expression as if he didn’t care at all.

It was always like that.

She tilted her head as she suddenly thought of how casually she had called him ‘Prince’. After all, we’re married, so that’s not what to call him, right?

Do people in this world use the word ‘honey’? No, calling it that way with such a young body is a bit… it feels like a crime.

“Excwuse me… hwo shwould I adwesh ywu?” (Excuse me… how should I address you?)

Kion and I were the only ones in the mansion now.  I couldn’t check it, but that’s how it felt. Because the only living creatures I have ever seen were Kion and Turen the White Tiger.

At least if there was someone else, he wouldn’t have fed me only white porridge and I don’t think Kion, a prince, would have brought me white porridge every day.

No matter what, he’s a prince.

Since there are only two of them, it was possible to communicate without having to call each other by name, but if there were other people here, it would be a different story.

The official relationship was a couple, but my current appearance was not what it looks like at all.

But apparently he hadn’t thought about this at all and his expression wriggled strangely, unlike usual.

Wrinkles appeared only when viewed very closely in the middle of the forehead.

It must be worrisome, seeing the frown of the forehead for the first time

“Address me however you want.”

He handed over to me the problem of titles, which I thought he would take care of.

Even if you tell me to do it on my own, I have no information about this place anyway.

I was keeping my cool by holding on to my mental cords that were about to fall into a panic, but my insides were noisy and confused.

Won’t anyone in a situation like this would be the same.

I thought I was dead, but when I opened my eyes, I was in a different world and I became a different person.

It was because of Kion in front of me that I was able to quickly accept the shocking reality. A beautiful man I’ve never seen before in my life that I want to believe it’s a piece of my dream.

What was stranger than that was that I felt strangely stable when I saw him for the first time even though I had never seen him before. The fact that Kion was next to me could convince me of the shocking fact that I became a body of a different person from the unfamiliar world.

‘Is it because I’m a child…?’

A child cannot do anything. It’s honest with its emotions and its instinctual behavior was not much different from that of a beast.

I needed protection and the child’s body was infinitely weak, so I was easily tired and easily sick.

Kim Jiyoung’s childhood, who was unhappy and pitiful for nothing, came to mind and felt bad.

“Alicia.”

“Yes?”

I wondered if he even noticed my feelings, so I was startled by the sudden call.

When Kion occasionally called me by my name, a corner of my heart thumped.

I don’t know why, but for some reason, I felt like I had to answer when he called me.

It’s not even my name! It felt strange as if it were my real name.

It felt different from the feeling of being stable only by existence.

“……”

Kion called and stared at me silently.

Why is he looking at me like that? My heart is pounding.

It was said that a person with a handsome face is forgiven no matter what he does.

Looking at Kion, I have come to agree with that statement a thousand times, or even ten thousand times.

In addition, I was a pure lady who had never experienced anything with a man other than accidentally rubbing my hands while working in my 29 years of life!

How can I withstand Kion’s gaze attack? He usually had a lazy and indifferent expression, but after he called my name, he gave me such a hot look.

TL/N : Alicia….. Im speechless-

How can I handle that!

“You…”

“…..”

“You have a nosebleed.”

“…..”

Kion casually reached out to me.

While standing still, he wipes the flowing blood with his sleeve that covers all his hands.

With the other hand on my forehead, he said.

“There is no fever.”

With a hard expression on his face, he carefully pressed the bridge of my nose. In case my head would fall backwards. He muttered in a low voice, “Don’t raise your head.”

Unlike his indifferent and cold face, it was a creepy and friendly touch.

‘Calm down. Don’t get too excited.’

My face was hot. In the first place, it was doubtful whether I had a nosebleed because I was excited.

It was even more so because I had a history of secretly looking through him with impure thoughts.

The sound of my heart pounding rang in my ears. This was enough to make me wonder if my heart was beating in my ear canal.

Kion, who had been holding down the bridge of the nose to prevent nosebleeds, wiping the blood with a sleeve with one hand and blocking the flow of blood, frowned for a moment.

For the first time, I opened my eyes wide to the change in facial expressions revealed without having to look closely. Are you surprised by that? For a moment, my stomach churned.

How can you feel nauseous when you see his handsome face?

“Urlgh…Uwekk.”

However, now was not the time to admire his appearance.

My heart, which I thought was beating because of him who got close, was about to burst out of my chest by jumping fast and loudly.

Instinctively, I raised my small hand and grabbed my heart.

When I rolled my surprised eyes with my back bent naturally, I saw a ball of blood that I had just vomited.

“Alicia!”

I was flustered. I was fine until a while ago. What’s going on?

I looked at Kion with a bewildered gaze, but he hugged me with a frown on his face.

I heard someone reciting something, but I couldn’t hear it well. The sound was too far away. As if I first opened my eyes with this body, I wanted to say that I couldn’t hear the sound that was getting farther away, but my voice didn’t come out.

My heart was about to pop out, but it was blocked as if it was stuck in my throat.

It felt like my heart had been pierced all over my body. It felt like I was being hit with a hammer.

I can’t think of anything else because it just hurts.

It felt like my body was being torn apart.

“Heukk…… hwurts, it hwurts.” (Heukk…… hurts, it hurts)

It hurts. It hurts so much that I thought I’d rather just die. In fact, I felt like I was going crazy more than when I was dying in a car accident.

This is the first time I’ve had this kind of pain. Can you call this pain? This terrible thing? It would be more right to call it hell’s punishment.

Ignoring all the curses I knew, I let go of my consciousness. Otherwise, I couldn’t survive.

∘ ─────── ⊰❈⊱ ─────── ∘

Beldum, who is in charge of financial management of the Vald Empire, received a letter.

The person handing over the letter and Beldum, who received it, looked surprised as if they had seen something bizarre.

“I didn’t think the day would come when I would be able to deliver a letter from the 8th Prince..… ”

“Someone isn’t impersonating him, right?”

Beldum, who looked at the letter with a sharp eye for any possible impersonation, opened his eyes wide when he was convinced that the seal on the envelope was Kion Vald the 8th prince’s.

It was also a bonus to open my mouth.*

TL/N : *is confused with this sentence*

“Wha- what the heck is going on?” What happened…”

With trembling hands, he carefully tore off the 8th prince’s white tiger crest.

It has been more than 10 years since I worked at the Imperial Palace, but it was the first letter with the seal of the 8th prince. His seal was made after he initially signed a contract with the Guardian, but when he came of age and left the Imperial Palace, he hadn’t used it once in 10 years.

Oh, he recently used it once more for the spirit of reconciliation*. So, the seal of this letter is his third use of the seal.

TL/N : Not sure what this means but I bet it’s about the arranged marriage.

Perhaps he is the first person to receive a letter stamped with 8th prince’s seal in the Vald Empire.

“Maybe he had a problem with marrying the princess of the Heter Empire a while ago…”

“Because she’s actually a wicked woman abandoned by Heter.”

As it was the first time, the fact that a letter came from the 8th prince slowly gathered at the Ministry of Finance and Management.

All the Vald people knew about Kion the 8th prince who left the imperial palace 10 years ago. However, over a long period of time, he was gradually forgotten, and it was a tea that had recently emerged again due to the spirit of reconciliation and was talked about by people.

A letter from him. Of course he was curious.

Ignoring the arbitrary speculation of the content and making noise, while keeping as calm as possible, Beldum opened the envelope and took out the letter.

He read the letter in admiration of the handwriting of the 8th prince Kion, which can be said to be a sample of well-written letters.

“Wh- what does it say?”

“Is the princess of Heter extravagants?”

“Is she not satisfied with what’s prepared from our side?”

“Is his highness having difficulties with finances? Did the price of medicine go up?”

Ignoring all kinds of questions from his subordinates, Beldum carefully read the contents of the letter again.

Neat letters. Concise sentences.

He thought, if he misread? He re-read it again dozens of times. He rubbed his eyes a few times, wondering if he saw it wrong.

“Beldum! It’s frustrating. Hurry up and read it out loud!”

In the end, one of the subordinates who couldn’t overcome the frustration shouted.

Beldum said, putting down the letter with a bewildered expression.
