The Villain Is A Perfect Fit For The Role-Chapter 74

“Licht.”

I sent a gift, but no response came back. You could at least send me a letter. My anxiety grew bigger and bigger.

‘I want to go see you.’

But that shouldn’t be the case. As Altain also said, there are many eyes inside the imperial palace right now. As her crown prince, she couldn’t act carelessly ahead of her birthday. Even though I know that.

Pop.

Because I applied too much force, the pen broke and ink splattered. He looked at his hands, which were splattered with ink, and when he rubbed them, his hands turned black.

‘I miss you.’

I couldn’t bear it anymore. Theodore stood up. He put down the broken pen, ran into his room, and searched through his closet for the most innocuous-looking hoodie he could find. However, there was no way there was anything like that among the crown prince’s clothes. The problem was that although the design was simple, the quality was too good.

After rummaging through the closet a few times, I dropped my hand. The clothes here don’t work. So how? Theodore rolled his head. I knew the structure of the imperial palace intimately. Usually, those in power do not pay attention to small details, but Theodore was different.

As his mother said, he did everything he could to become a good emperor. He sometimes did more than he was told.

Theodore decided to go outside. The knight guarding the entrance did not think Theodore’s entrance was strange. This was because he often went out to find something when he needed it while working.

Another knight follows behind Theodore, who walks naturally. It was a natural behavior, but today it was annoying.

“I want to go alone today.”

The driver looked troubled.

“It’s dangerous.”

“I’m moving a short distance.”

“But, Your Highness, something might happen.”

Suddenly Theodore remembered the previous emperor. Now that I think about it, he wasn’t a good father. Still, there was nothing to learn.

What did the emperor do when someone interfered with what he wanted to do? He laughed. The corner of his mouth lifted and he smiled and asked in a low voice.

“So you’re saying you can’t follow my orders now?”

I’m not laughing out of joy. Laughing to intimidate the other person. Theodore imitated him. The knight’s eyes widened as he looked at him like that. It was an expression on his face that did not understand why the crown prince, who always seemed gentle, was reacting like this.

“I asked.”

Theodore did not back down.

When I asked again, the driver lowered his head with a puzzled expression.

“sorry. That was not my intention.”

“I’m glad that’s the case. “Then I can go alone, right?”

The driver looked like he wanted to say a lot, but he couldn’t open his mouth anymore. Her anxious heart calmed. Theodore left the knight behind and walked away. He pretended to go to the data room and took a different route.

The secret passage in the imperial palace is useful in times like this. Theodore found the laundry room without much trouble and found a fairly ordinary hood. Putting it on, for the first time, he left the imperial palace of his own will.

Most used secret passageways. This was because they had no confidence in passing through the gates that were openly guarded by soldiers. I was worried that people would be embarrassed by the sudden disappearance of the crown prince, but I still left a note for my aide.

Since the capital is not small, it takes a long time to walk from the imperial palace. To borrow a horse, you needed an identity card to prove that you lived in the capital. So I took a carriage.

For the first time since getting on the carriage, I took a deep breath.

‘succeded.’

Theodore got off on a busy street not far from Devine’s mansion. It wasn’t difficult to find Devine’s mansion from here. Because it is a famous attraction in its own right due to its size and beauty, sometimes people come to see it from afar, so it is not suspected.

‘The problem is how to get in.’

Since it’s Devine, security will be tight. Theodore hesitated for a moment. Here, it seemed like I had no choice but to attack it head-on. It is impossible to hide one’s identity and hide in the first place. As he approached the front door, the knights standing guard turned their gaze.

‘Because he must be a trained knight.’

Theodore showed a dagger from under the hem of his hood. It was a dagger with the royal family’s emblem engraved on it and could only be possessed by those of imperial blood. The knight’s brow twitched. After seeming to think for a moment, one person quietly went inside. And a while later, Devine’s butler greeted him.

Ain naturally guided Theodore to the reception room of the mansion.

“I see you, His Majesty the Crown Prince.”

Bow your head gracefully and show respect.

“okay.”

Theodore answered lightly and took off his hood.

“What brought you here?”

“I came to see Richt.”

Ain’s expression changed subtly. She looked embarrassed. I understand. Now that the crown prince, who is supposed to be in the imperial palace, has secretly visited you, you must be thinking about a lot of things.

“I just came because I wanted to meet you.”

Only then did Ain’s expression become more comfortable.

“Please wait a moment.”

After finishing speaking, Ain went out of the reception room. Only then was Theodore able to sit down on the sofa. She is tired after being on edge the whole time.

Not long after, the maid brought tea, but I had no intention of drinking it. Now I wanted to see Richt as soon as possible. She waited so anxiously, but Ain did not come back until the tea had cooled down.

‘What’s going on?’

I started to worry. Perhaps she did not tell Licht that she had come, or perhaps she had contacted the imperial palace. Several assumptions ran through her head. Theodore, who had been unconsciously tapping his fingers on the table, looked at the closed door.

I’ve already sneaked out of the imperial palace, so will it be a problem if I do anything more here? Extreme thirst clouded my thoughts. Theodore got up and pushed the door open. There was no one guarding the outside.

I don’t really know the inside of Devine Mansion. However, there was a story Maia often told. She had also heard about the matriarch’s room in Devine’s mansion.

“It may seem surprising, but the largest and most ornate room is not the matriarch’s room. This is something that customers who come to Devine sometimes misunderstand. Because usually nobles like places like that. But actually, it’s the matriarch’s room.”

It’s not on a low floor, not on a high floor. In the middle, I saw a long hallway lined with similar doors. I don’t see a single person passing by.

“Handmaids and servants cannot just listen well. “Understand the topic well and not be intrusive.”

So, they have their own separate passage. It is natural that it is not normally visible. That allowed Theodore to move more comfortably.

‘Still, there will be eyes watching.’

No one is outright restraining them. Because Theodore is the crown prince.

‘Which of these rooms is it?’

As I looked at the door, thinking, Ain appeared from the other side of the hallway.

“majesty.”

The expression on his face asks why he came all the way here.

“Did you tell Richt my story?”

“I haven’t been able to tell you yet because you are busy with something.”

“Then I will tell it to you myself.”

“It’s difficult.”

Ain followed suit, but he ignored it. Although he is the butler of a powerful family, he does not have enough power to stop the crown prince. Theodore knew that too.

We checked one by one, starting from the last room.

“If you told me, I wouldn’t have to do such a troublesome thing.”

“Richt is busy right now.”

“To the point where I can’t even meet the crown prince?”

Ain followed Theodore without answering. He tried so many times in vain and stood in front of the fourth door. There is no sound inside. This is because the door is thick and well-insulated. I grabbed the handle and turned it, and the door opened smoothly.

It feels a bit different from the previous room.
