Now that it had come to this, he couldn’t ignore it. As he had always done, he decided to be dragged into the discipline of the Seven Pillars and the Seven Deadly Sins.

He showed kindness without any thought.

“Do you have any business with me, Your Highness the Prince?”

“.......”

The blond-haired royal, who was on the borderline between a boy and a young man, took a deep breath. Then, he tried to smile and fixed his face that was about to cry.

“As expected, you don’t call me Riga.”

“.......”

“It’s okay. But since you turned around when I called you hyung...... that’s enough.”

He said it as if he was brainwashing himself with a face that was not enough at all.

In another timeline, the one who had been so vicious was now begging for a single word, a single expression, a single look in Tesilid’s eyes.

Tesilid still hadn’t gotten used to this gap. He had no intention of getting used to it.

This indifference was actually due to Tesilid’s good nature. How easy it would be to manipulate and manipulate someone who would be ecstatic just by calling his name.

If Tesilid had not been good, he would have used his emotional advantage to throw Regares into the mud long ago.

“I’m being presumptuous, but I don’t want to spend too much time with you, Your Majesty.”

“......I have something to deliver. It’s something my sister Celestide gave me.”

“Your Majesty the King?”

Thinking it was an official matter, Tesilid immediately changed his attitude. Regares thought it was a good idea to sell his sister’s name, and took out a luxurious velvet box from his bosom.

“You give it to your sister-in-law yourself. When the two of you are alone. If possible, dress up nicely.”

The answer to his serious request was plain.

“I understand.”

“......Aren’t you going to ask what this is?”

“Is it something I need to know?”

“Oh, that would be better.”

Only then did Tesilid realize that this was a matter a little distant from his official duties.

He carefully opened the velvet box at Regares’s nod.

“This is.......”

What was revealed under the sunlight was a ring with a large pink diamond set into it.

“It’s one of the royal heirlooms. I think it should be this much.”

“It should be this much?”

“My sister-in-law is really upset that she hasn’t been proposed to yet.”

“.......”

Tesilid felt a sting from two facts. The fact that he had been caught not being proposed to and the fact that Aylet was really upset were deeply engraved in his heart.

“The child...... did that?”

“Yeah.”

Of course, Regares was a guy who could lie without changing his expression.

“So take this and propose to me, hyung.”

Tesilid stared at the dazzling pink diamond for a long time.

It looked much more precious than the ring Morifis had taken out earlier when he was flirting with Aylet, and the color of the diamond was a beautiful color that naturally reminded him of Aylet.

Even in Tesilid’s eyes, it felt like there was no other proposal ring like this in the world. However... ... .

“I have to make the proposal ring myself to make it meaningful.......”

“Hyung, I can’t buy a ring like this with my knight’s salary.”

“Even so, there’s no reason for me to receive the Binchester royal family’s heirloom.......”

“Of course! What’s wrong with giving a treasure to a hero who saved the world?”

Regares cleverly didn’t say something so ridiculous that Tesilid deserved it because he was royalty.

“Think of it as a hero’s pension.”

“Ah.”

Tesilid even thought it was right because it was a reason that was persuasive.

In the past, when he had returned without an answer, he was a faithful and ascetic knight who had distanced himself from material desires as much as sexual desires, but now that he had met Aylet, he was different.

When she said she would give him all of her knightly salary, her peridot-colored eyes that couldn’t hide their sparkle for a moment, and the praise she later showered him with after earning 2.67 million gold taught him a lesson.

‘The more I earn, the more the child will like it.’

And as he continued to look, he realized that the pink royal heirloom was a ring that existed for Aylet Rodelin. At this point, he felt that he had to put it on her finger.

“Please tell Her Majesty that I am grateful.”

“Yes, I understand!”

He couldn’t understand why his errand boy, Regares, was so happy, but Tesilid didn’t pay much attention and put the ring box in his bosom.

“I guess our business is over. Then, you may go first, Your Highness the Prince.”

“No. I’ll go after seeing my brother.”

“That can’t be. You go first.”

“Brother first.......”

Tesilid let out a low sigh as the situation became tense.

“Regares.”

“......!”

His blue eyes widened. Tesilid’s calm voice continued to resonate in the air as if it wasn’t an auditory hallucination.

“I’m sorry, but it’s hard for me to become your brother. Even if I were to regain my childhood memories, it would be the same.”

“.......”

“You may not understand, but the life I’ve lived makes it hard for me to accept you. So stop your useless efforts. You won’t be rewarded.”

“......Brother.”

That was all there was to a small call. Regalis stood there for a long time, unable to say anything else.

Tesilid bowed politely.

“I’ll go first, Your Majesty.”

Tesilid, who had turned around coldly, left the place.

As the distance between them grew farther and farther away, the handsome man’s expressionless face collapsed a little, as if to express his complicated feelings.

The wrongdoings that Tesilid committed against him in this timeline were objectively small. However, the things that Tesilid had suffered so far were too harsh for him to deal with Tesilid while excluding the memories accumulated from living through dozens of timelines.

The sight of his younger brother making a pitiful expression in front of him was overwhelmed by the memory of the arrogant prince who had stabbed him in the heart in the past. It was so vain, so easy.

Tesilid had suffered so much that he could not forgive Tesilid, but on the other hand, he was so kind that he did not want to hurt Tesilid even after going through all that.

So they made a compromise. They wanted to live as complete strangers without getting entangled with each other.

They did not want to waste their emotions. Even now, I feel rapidly tired after just a brief encounter.

‘I miss you.’

I felt like I needed to see her face and recover quickly. Fortunately, unlike the fingertips that drew lots, the tips of my feet that walked seemed to be filled with the power of love. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Soon, he was able to meet her in one of the gardens.

“Terry?”

“I.”

“What are you doing here alone?”

As he said that, Ailet was also alone. Bianca, who had left the banquet hall with him, was nowhere to be seen. The fact that the two of them could be alone was very welcome.

Anyway, Tesilid answered the question without hesitation.

He strode toward her and whispered.

“I miss you so much.”

He didn’t bother to mention the detailed fact that he had followed her from the banquet hall. That seemed too obsessive.

As expected, Ailet showed the reaction that Tesilid wanted to see.

Her green eyes widened at the sudden confession of affection. Her face, which forgot to even blink and looked at me, was so lovely.

While suppressing the urge to kiss her eyes right away, she also came to her senses.

“Oh, it’s the same trick, so why do I always fall for it?”

“A trick?”

“That’s right. It’s just everyday words, so why do you make people’s hearts flutter by saying it so earnestly?”

“Because my feelings in those words are so earnest?”

“.......”

“Of course it’s everyday. You are my life.”

“......What is it, a romance novel?”

I don’t know what she means as she absentmindedly repeats her words, but judging by her flushed cheeks, it’s clear that it’s good for him.

“Anyway, kid, I think there was a bit of a commotion at your table.”

“Oh, that. It’s nothing. Don’t worry about it.”

How could I not care if my lover was proposed to by some crazy guy?

Feeling slightly annoyed, she tried to avoid the subject.

“Terry, you were fine at the table?”

“There can’t be anything going on at a family dinner.”

“My brother suddenly seemed really friendly to you? How did you seduce him... no, how did you win his favor?”

“Well....”

Prinz helped her understand the situation that she couldn’t run for Bianca’s husband.

That was the summary, but Tesilid still felt annoyed from earlier. That’s why she felt a little angry.

Tesilid bowed toward Aylet.

“Terry...?”

Aylet was slightly flustered as the handsome face got closer. When the tension reached its peak as they approached a kissable distance, Tesilid suddenly changed her attitude and put their foreheads together. Their silver and pink hair blended together as if they were harmonizing.

“I guess it’s as you said. The whole world seems to love me.”

“.......”

“Right? My world.”

“......Ah, really again.”

Ailet realized she was being teased by the charming laughter that rang out in her throat.

She grumbled softly and soon reached out to Tesilid’s forehead.

She tidied up his slightly disheveled bangs, then brushed them back as if she had an impulse.

When Tesilid gave her a puzzled look, she expressed her admiration.

“You’re handsome even with your bangs.”

“Do you like it?”

“Yes.”

“Then watch him a lot and like him a lot.”

This time, the laughter of both of them shook the air.

That was it.

<You guys really don't have time to try, right? If you two lived together, you'd kiss just like breathing.>

“.......”

“.......”

The two of them really straightened each other's hair and stood up straight.

“Let's go back, kid.”

“Yeah, Terry.”

The main character couldn't be absent from the banquet. The two of them walked together to the banquet hall.
