Chapter 125 Distortion
“Don’t mind me.”
“That’s why I say that!”
"Haha, it seems I'm not yet at the point of being abandoned."
Hearing Sergio's cheerful voice, Felini sighed deeply and chose to remain silent. She thought it was better to ignore it than to waste time. Noticing this, Sergio started chewing candy again with a bored expression.
"It's really strange. Coming here and it just exploded. It feels like someone was lazy and the bills just kept coming in waves and hitting me."
At this moment, Felini's hand suddenly stopped. At the same time, she felt a surge of emotion in her heart. She gritted her teeth and was about to refute something, but Sergio stood up while saying "Okay, okay".
"Well... excuse me for bothering you, I should leave now." Sergio walked towards the office door.
“Are you going back?”
"That's fine, but I have something else that I'm concerned about. I need to move myself as well."
Sergio said in an unusually serious tone, preparing to open the office door. At this moment, Felini suddenly slapped the table hard and stood up: "... I just want to remind you not to do anything unnecessary!"
"I'll keep it in mind. Goodbye." Sergio smiled and nodded, and this time he really left the office. Felini, who was left alone, finally calmed down and looked up at the ceiling and thought.
"He said I was lazy... maybe he was right." Felini covered her eyes with her hands and smiled self-deprecatingly.
As a royal, she was aware of the huge difference in child-rearing concepts from commoners. But as a parent, it was necessary to face her own children. At least in this regard, status was completely irrelevant.
Judging from recent events, no matter who is the king, they are more and more inclined to personally participate in child rearing. In particular, the events in the Kingdom of Santono have had a great impact.
The fact that the king personally took the initiative to re-train the second princess has become a hot topic among the royal family and nobles.
As for Felini, even as a member of the royal family, she believed that failure in parenting was possible, and she viewed it all almost as a bystander.
I was ashamed of myself a few months ago, missing the opportunity to realize years of mistakes. It is too late to regret now. In fact, the turmoil has already happened, and this is just the prologue.
After all, Minerva wasn't the only source of unrest.
"There's a high possibility that Bizz will show up. And the kid from the McReade family... Although I really hope this won't happen... But we can't take it lightly."
Last night, after the incident at Minerva, something else suddenly happened.
Felini had thought the matter was over, but now she had an ominous feeling that she might be involved in this commotion.
——And this premonition will come true in an extremely troublesome way.

Meanwhile, in the forest in the opposite direction of the palace, Erwin was running.
"Damn it... Why on earth did I have to endure this...!"
He was dressed in plain clothes, very different from his usual fancy clothes, and had a large hat pulled deep on his head, making it impossible to recognize him as Erwin.
In fact, on his way here, he passed an old woodcutter without being recognized at all. He almost shouted out what it was like to not recognize a nobleman, but in the end he held back and continued running.
Despite the difficult situation, he still did not give up his style. At least in this respect, he did get high praise from people around him in a certain sense.
"My father and mother don't understand. Why am I grounded? To be a chosen one among the nobility, especially someone like me! It's extremely unpleasant!"
Despite his extreme irritation, Erwin did not slow down his run. Then suddenly, he began to smile with pride.
"Although I was reluctant, the way I escaped was truly amazing. Only someone as perfect as me could have done it so well." Erwin recalled the scene of him escaping from the room.
He tied the rope to the window railing, lowered himself from the second floor, and holding the rope, he slowly descended while kicking the wall. His movements were so light that he didn't look like an amateur.
During this period, Erwin did not stop complaining. His complaints even seemed to have a rhythm. Seeing him now, people would feel that he was ambidextrous in many senses.
After the recollection, Erwin slowed down a little and looked around. "By the way, is there any place we can hide temporarily? It would be best if there is an empty house, but I can't find one."
There was no way there was a vacant building. But anyway, perhaps it was true, Erwin was getting more and more annoyed. Why couldn't he find it when he needed it? He was throwing a tantrum like a child.
"That human with the goblin... and that rogue Prince Seide! Fundamentally, all of this is their fault! I will never forgive them!" Erwin recalled last night's events with intense anger.
----------------
Back to last night——
Minerva was driven out of the courtyard, and soon after, Xu Zhen and his companions also planned to leave the palace. Just as Sede was sending them back to the hotel, another scene occurred.
"Hey, why would a dirty commoner like you come out of the palace?"
Erwin frowned with disgust and glared at Xu Zhen and the others. Xu Zhen and the others shook their heads helplessly and sighed when they saw such a person appear.
Seeing this, Erwin's expression became even more distorted: "What kind of expression is that! You can't even answer a question. Are you so rude?"
"……terribly sorry."
Although his attitude was unsatisfactory, Xu Zhen thought what he said made sense, so he lowered his head for the time being. Erwin snorted, crossed his arms, and looked down at them.
“Forget it, I’ll especially forgive you this time… I wanted to say this, but I can’t forgive you. I haven’t even found that rare dragon, and I’m in a very bad mood now.”
Then Erwin pointed at them and shouted, "As punishment for stopping me, leave the goblin and the fairy ship behind. This is an order! As long as you hand over those two monsters, I will let you go. Isn't this a very cheap deal?"
"No." Xu Zhen immediately refused, and Erwin was stunned. Then he gritted his teeth and his face turned red.
"You dirty commoner...you should do good for yourself even if you are so unruly!"
“You are the one who is presumptuous.”
"What?"
The sudden voice coming from behind Xu Zhen made Erwin's eyes widen, as if to say not to interrupt. But when he saw the person in front of him, he was stunned for a few seconds, and then showed a condescending smile.
