Heroine On Strike
CH 140
The people of Tuchizen then entered the party hall. The Duke and Duchess of Tuchizen entered first, followed by their eldest son, Count Tuth, and his wife. Then was followed by the second son, who the duke had at an old age.
Now wasn’t the time to be shocked at her own emotions and sit around at the terrace. Ella, who quickly got out of the terrace, froze the moment she saw the famous second son’s face.
“Didi?” Ella was shocked to see the second son of Duke Tuchizen, who looked like Didi but at the same time didn’t.
Yesterday, Didi, who appeared in the shape of Ella’s cousin, had shown her his true form at her protest. He had white skin, white eyes, and white hair. He was a white man as if he had no color at all. But that man right now was wrapped in red. He had pinkish hair, just like every member of the Tuchizen family, and had dark brown eyes. He even wore red-themed clothing, as if he was trying to prove that he was a member of Tuchizen.
He looked much younger than Didi. Ella heard that Tuchizen’s youngest son was 14 years old, and he looked just around that age. She wasn’t sure when she heard that information, but every detail proved that he couldn’t be Didi.
‘But that is Didi for sure,’ thought Ella with certainty.
That boy, too, had been looking at Ella ever since he entered the hall. It was as if he was trying to prove that he was Didi. The two, who were close to glaring at each other, could be noticed by someone, but everyone was focused on the Duke and his older son. No one paid attention to this young prince.
Unlike the grand entrance, Didi was covered by his family’s fame and was able to escape everyone’s attention and casually walk in Ella’s direction. Then he grinned at Ella, who was dumbfoundedly looking at him and moved past her to the terrace that she had walked out from earlier. It happened so quickly that Vylun couldn’t even stop him. Vylun, who seemed shocked that he couldn’t react, tried to grab him but was stopped by Ella.
“Wait. I need to speak with him for a second. Can you watch so that nobody can get close?
“Do you know him?” asked Vylun.
“Yes. I met him with the Tower Master yesterday. It’s regarding that matter, so please give me some time to talk to him.”
He looked down at Ella’s hand that grabbed his and back at her eyes. He then let out a short sigh and stepped aside. Vylun, who scoffed at the knights who would claim that they could even feign death if it were Ella’s request, seemed to be gone. He faced the new him, who couldn’t deny her request.
“Call my name if you need me. I’ll be right here.” Vylun answered valiantly as if it was a big deal, but that valiantness didn’t reach Ella. Her attention was already following Didi into the terrace.
“Thank you, Vylun.”
With that, Ella’s hand quickly pulled away from his large hand. Vylun looked at his hand for a while, then glared at the terrace entrance that swallowed Ella. It felt so bad to be left alone. He tried to hide the feelings he had felt for the first time and placed his back towards the wall next to the terrace.

“Didi! My God, why are you here?” Ella shouted at him moments after she entered the terrace. Didi was a man from Tuchizen? It was hard to believe.
“Yeah, I know. I thought this seemed like the fastest way to get to you, so I slipped in.”
When Ella was about to protest at his insufficient answer, he reached out his finger to stop her from saying it.
