That Man’s 101st Bad Ending

Northern Princess-2

The prince is not at this banquet.

It is true that I lost most of my interest in that fact, but even so, it was not meaningless.

Wouldn’t it be quite meaningful just by not going with Theresia?

Besides, YuRia wouldn’t even think of me as a partner, so it was obvious that she wouldn’t say anything if I disappeared after hanging out with her.

Rather, it would be comfortable for me to disappear.

If so, there is a possibility that you will see someone you have never met in your life so far, and you will never meet at this point.

For example, would you meet Miragen by chance? If not, I ran into Adele by chance.

Either way, there’s nothing wrong with me.

Besides, isn’t it quite fun just to have the possibility open?

What I haven’t experienced in my last 100 lives,

For me, who was tired of this eternal life, new experiences were more interesting than anything else.

“Are you planning to finish the preparations with that?”

Ronald’s eyes narrowed for an instant, but I nodded in affirmation.

My reflection in the mirror wasn’t much different from usual.

If I had to ask, would it be to the extent of wearing a coat?

The dark green clothes, which are not flashy and plain, suit my situation quite well.

As much as it would be better for me to be invisible today, it would probably be better to make Yuria stand out, who will be dressed up in a splendid way.

“Anyway, aren’t you attending as a partner? You should pay more attention…”

“done. I’m not even the main character anyway.”

Besides, if you dressed up fancy, there was room for trouble as it was.

Doesn’t one person come to mind right away to criticize for not knowing the subject?

There was no reason to hear such a thing, and it was better to erase my presence.

It was obvious that if anyone heard the news of Theresia’s breakup, they would annoy me.

I dressed up appropriately and dressed up enough to look moderately noble.

He smiled slightly to correct his slightly sharp look, but it was rather awkward, so he returned to his original expression.

I don’t think it was like that in the past, but the more I repeated the regression, the more my smile seemed awkward.

Maybe it’s because I didn’t have much to laugh about? It’s not something you can blame anyone for.

In the end, wasn’t my foolish choice brought on by myself?

Leaving behind Ronald, who was staring at me like that, as I headed for the gate, I saw YuRia standing in front of the carriage.

As befits a small family head of the Taylor family, the splendidly decorated appearance always looked elegant and dignified.

A blue dress, plus accessories tailored to each individual.

Yuria, who shows off her beauty like a peacock, looked at me with a soft smile.

“Surprisingly, it wasn’t too late. Get in the wagon, because we have to go right now.”

Then, after taking a peek at my outfit, she narrowed her eyes and added:

“Have you come to your senses now? It was always disgustingly decorated, but a little plain.”

“I am not the one who should shine today.”

When I replied with a small smile at the sarcastic voice, it seemed that he did not like my polite attitude.

The problem must be that she is different from the younger brother Robert she remembers.

In this situation, I tried to get some nice clothes to meet Theresia.

Of course, that won’t happen anymore.

Theresia was no longer my fiancé, was she no longer ‘nothing’?

While talking as if the main character of the day was Yuria, I passed the carriage in front of me and headed for a carriage a little further away.

“What are you doing…”

“Would you like to ride together? I thought you’d hate it.”

Yuria, as if taken aback by my actions, stuck her head out of the carriage and stared at me with a cold, hard face.

I deliberately tried to avoid the seat, but was such consideration unexpected?

So she shrugged her shoulders casually, and YuRia put her head back in and shut her mouth.

“Are you starting to get nervous?”

When Yuria’s carriage started ahead, she muttered as she watched the carriage slowly disappear.

It must be proof that my slowly changing attitude has begun to bother me.

However, I never thought that the response would return so quickly.

Maybe that’s why it was called sogaju last time?

Although they are sisters who grew up together since childhood, Yuria has lived with the awareness that she is a Sogaju.

That’s why I was more like a vassal than a younger sister to her, and I always played the role of supporting her.

In most situations, I would show a weak side to Yuria.

He always treated her with affection as a blood relative, but all he got back was an infinitely cold response.

The most important thing for Yuria was to carry on the Taylor family.

fulfills the role of father.

I don’t know what kind of burden it was on Yuria, but I think it’s clear that it’s the cause of her distorted mind.

My existence must have been quite a thorn in the eye for YuRia.

It wasn’t that I didn’t understand.

If I were to take over such a role, my eyes would be clouded by the heavy burden.

However, Yuria used her talent to play the role of Sogaju, and has been doing well without any mistakes.

So I’m treating it like sogaju.

Since I was not broad enough to treat the person who killed me numerous times as my own sister, Yuria Taylor was just a Soga Lord to me.

nothing more and nothing less. Neither blood nor family.

I lean my head on the chair, remembering the eyes that were staring at me.

I thought that I would see those strange eyes full of doubts more often in the future.

However, what can I do? It’s already twisted as much as it’s twisted.

From the moment she chose to live the life of Sogaju, becoming a wolf was a given.

My stupidity was trying to get it back somehow, didn’t I make up my mind that I wouldn’t have that kind of regret anymore?

He would never treat Yuria like a sister again. maybe…

forever.

It was a while later that the rattling and swaying wagon came to a halt.

Although the capital city was already dark, it was undoubtedly the light of the imperial palace that emitted a dazzling light alone.

There were no stars to light up the sky.

Only the lonely full moon emitted a pitiful light, proving that the light of the imperial palace was brighter than the stars.

As the Taylor family’s carriage entered, the eyes of the nobles around them immediately turned to this direction.

Some whispered to YuRia as she got off the carriage, while others muttered as they saw me reaching out to YuRia.

“They said they broke up, but it seems to be true. Wasn’t that Gongja who was talking about love so much?”

As expected, as if rumors had already spread, the nobles looked at me and added one word at a time.

Still, nothing bad was said about me.

Although I had heard things like Theresia did something strange or crazy. Perhaps you know how to behave well.

“Strange words are floating around because you did something stupid.”

YuRia, who took my hand and got off, opened her mouth in a cool tone.

It wasn’t that I was offended by being criticized;

I nodded my head with a feeling of yes, and soon a cold voice pierced my ear.

“You’d better be good at judging. If you act recklessly like before…”

Not looking at his younger brother, but an insensitive face looking at a vassal who doesn’t listen.

“Because I will issue a probation this time.”

“I see. I will be careful.”

Anyway, the only thing she and I were together was until the entrance.

As I came here in the name of a partner, my role today was to hold Yuria’s hand and head towards the entrance.

If I was away from Yuria, nobles would come and bother me, so I thought of hanging out in the garden.

YuRia, who was staring at me who readily agreed, held out her hand to me again.

I was able to take a step when my hands barely reached the point where I could barely reach them.

“Princess Yuria Taylor and Prince Robert Taylor of the Taylor family are eating!”

The noisy imperial palace party is enveloped in silence.

Although often forgotten, the Taylors are a family that can be said to be at the pinnacle of power.

A family that no noble can ignore because it has a tendency close to neutral.

A family that has never slipped while always walking a tightrope.

Isn’t it the Taylor family that even the Crown Prince cannot easily touch?

For that reason, I was even more curious.

What on earth did the prince see badly about me and put a false name on me? Of course, there was no prince in this place.

You’re probably dealing with a small rebellion on the outskirts by now.

Even if such a crown prince could not return, it would have been a year later, so he had to complete minimum preparations before then.

As I passed through the entrance, the sensation in my hand disappeared.

YuRia, who removed her hand from holding it, strode off alone without realizing it, and all of a sudden I felt ashamed.

‘Nothing bad.’

People’s eyes were focused on Yuria, the owner of Taylor’s small household.

Perhaps soon the princess will appear and say something, but that’s all.

There wasn’t much to gain from me here today.

Even that would have been the case when he could have a conversation with the princess.

It’s just a matter of finding an opportunity after the princess appears.

It was frustrating because there were so many people, so I managed to get out of the gap and head to the garden.

Seeing a maze-like garden in which the gardeners worked hard, the roses blooming in between, turn their feet there.

It was just tangled like a maze, but in fact it was just complicated.

It was a garden made on the grounds of the imperial palace, which was larger than any large farm.

It can’t be normal, can it?

A place where you can find all the flowers that are likely to bloom in summer.

The wind mixed with countless scents contained a scent that was better than most perfumes.

I walk through the garden with my back to the full moon.

It was a quiet garden with no one around, but this silence was what made my heart feel the most comfortable.

Relaxation that can only be felt right after returning, perhaps you won’t feel it unless it’s a time like this.

Maybe if it was like before, I would have been busy wandering around and trying to make my own network.

I thought that if I somehow made at least one more person on my side, it would help me later.

If you stick to what the result was, it was truly disastrous.

How can there be no one to trust?

When unfavorable circumstances came, they all turned their backs.

The one who treated you as your best friend and the one who said you truly loved him.

In fact, didn’t he approach me to use the name Taylor behind me?

“A sick bastard.”

It felt like my heart felt a little relieved when I spit out self-deprecating words.

It is my promise in this life that I will never commit the same mistakes I made in the past.

If I kill the crown prince and I die too… Well, at that time, wouldn’t I be able to close my eyes without any regrets?

I stand still and stare blankly at the sky.

The lights in the imperial palace had dimmed a bit, and now it was full of stars showing dim lights.

Dots and dots meet to form a line, and the lines gather to form a group.

Around the time when you are immersed in the baptism of light where even the slightest darkness cannot be found.

There was a voice in my ear.

“It’s not nice to curse yourself.”

There was a strange coldness in her feminine tone.

It wasn’t from hostility toward me like Yuria.

Rebuttal to something, no. To be precise, it was a tone close to pointing out my attitude.

When she turned her head in surprise, her eyes widened at the outfit that didn’t match the imperial palace.

“It’s been a while since I’ve been to the imperial palace, but I’m seeing you for the first time. I don’t know if I should call this lucky.”

When everyone was wearing fancy clothes, the rugged clothes were literally pale black.

Unlike the white hair mixed with the moonlight, the black clothes perfectly assimilated into this darkness.

No, it was more like a cloak than a garment.

The mantle worn by those living in the north, the wolf’s fur around the neck fluttered in the wind as if that were true.

“…Sir Adele.”

Even the ruler of the north, the crown prince, could not easily deal with it. The owner of the power over all people that was allowed by the empire.

It was called Iron Wall because it protected the frontier, but it was only a term referring to a woman, not a man.

Her hair was as white as snow flurries.

Even so, her beautiful appearance was not inferior to the stars, and my gaze was still directed toward that face.

Behind her was a round full moon, and even in the face that was darkened by the backlight, at least a faint smile was clearly transmitted.

muttering blankly for a while I expected it to come, but it was the first time we met at this point.

“Here… I didn’t expect to meet you.”

“That would be me too. It’s just a coincidence that I came to the garden.”

Adele Ygritte, Grand Duke of the North smiled at me.

“Nice to meet you, Prince Taylor.”
