Chapter 63 (1/2)

“Thank you for letting me know Chris had arrived, brother.”

“What, don’t worry about it. She’s your fiance right? I had heard you hadn’t met for a while so, just gratefully receive my kindness.”

“Of course, thank you very much.”

My palms began to sweat at their conversation. I wanted to rip His Shameless Highness Endo’s smug smile off his face, but that would be a careless move. Most importantly, even as he talked to Endo Charles’ eye didn’t leave me for a second. I could sense the glare in his eyes.

It seemed Charles wasn’t very happy with me. Well this had been going on for two years already. And then at the party, our long awaited reunion, I had been too scared to face him.

It was clear why Endo had brought Charles here.

Endo knew I was avoiding Charles. It was undeniable since the whole reason he had called me to the palace was because of those rumors. That’s why he had thrown us together like this.

Still something didn’t quite make sense.

“Your Highness Endo, just how much of a fool can you be! Even though you knew I didn’t want to!? I knew you were dumb as soon as I met you, but to think you’re this idiotic!’

“What? You bastard, what are you saying all of a sudden!”

Having easily been provoked Endo raised his finger and yelled back.

Unlike the red face of the ape Endo, Charles didn’t react at all and kept eyeing me cooly. He was blocking the only exit from the room so I couldn’t run away.

Darn. He was being much more cautious than usual. It was obvious he wasn’t going to let me run away this time.

My only chance was to use Endo.

“Insulting someone out of the blue, how can you call yourself a lady!”

“Then why don’t you spit out your true motive in calling me here today?! If you can say that much maybe I’ll even say that Your Foolish Highness isn’t an idiot!”

“My motive? My only motive is to beat you into the dust!”

“Ha, I don’t think so!”

I glared back at Endo, he was somehow an even bigger idiot that I’d thought. The hell did he think he was saying. What is he even thinking? Didn’t he call me here to torment Charles? He was the one who so confidently told me to become his queen!

It made no sense for him to put me and Charles in the same room!

“Your Highness Endo….you, can you in all honesty say that?”

“Of course. Today I fully understood. I was born to smash an arrogant bastard like you to pieces.”

What an utterly useless reason to be born. I just couldn’t stomach being lectured about arrogance from this conceited ass.

“Christina Noir. Reconciling with my brother is child’s play if it’s to teach you a lesson!”

“Reconcile?…Big brother? Were we in a fight?”

Sure enough Charles hadn’t been aware of the hostility his brother held towards him. It was a very Charles reponse. I sent Endo a death glare.

“What an honor. I am the reason such brothers have reconciled. How glad I am to hear that….as if! Just what are you planning?!”

“Sure I don’t know the particulars bastard, but I know you’re avoiding Charles, right? Since that’s the case I figured it would be interesting to bring you two together. Hahaha. I didn’t think I’d see results so soon!”

“Grr. This lying bastard who couldn’t even carry out his original plans….! Just you wait, one day I’ll finally beat you to death!”

“Ha! Just try it, I’ll have your whole family killed for treason against the country! Are you prepared to condemn your whole family? I didn’t think so! With your level of stupid pride, all you can do is say big words!”

“Stop kidding around fool! As if I would leave behind proof!”

He would already be dead right now if I didn’t have to protect Michelie. Even if it’s not by my hands, Endo will be assassinated eventually. Letting a fool like him become king will ruin this country.

“First of all Your Highness, why don’t you try and remember your little speech from when you challenged me to a match! If I lost, what was it you said you were planning to do again? Do you really need me to remind you? It was something along of the lines of ‘become my queen’ wasn’t it? Ha!”

It happened so quickly I couldn’t believe my eyes. Without a second of hesitation Charles drove his fist right into Endo’s abdomen.

“Wa- Charles, you bastard-?!”

“Hm? What was that? Big brother is also my enemy? Are you Michelie No.2? You seem exactly like her. ‘Ch’ did you say? Cheek? I can pinch your cheeks?”

Endo screamed as Charles mercilessly pinch and pulled at his cheeks. Rather than pain, it seemed to be from the humiliation. Probably the most humiliating thing anyone had ever dared do to him.

“O-Oi wait a sec Charles!”

Endo tried to escape from Charles, waving his hands as he spouted excuses.

“Stop- I said stop it already. I’m not your enemy. I’m your ally. I was just fooling around…It was a prank on her! I would never actually ask a feisty bitch like her to be my woman!”

“Oh? Care to repeat that big brother? You did it to humiliate Chris? Even if you were just fooling around, you know, I’m so angry I don’t know what I’ll do?”

“Why- What are you saying Charles! Your enemy is over there!”

Endo seemed to be panicking not only at the sudden fight, but also that his inferior younger brother was winning. As Charles unleashed his anger, the room fell into chaos. However, on the flip side of chaos was opportunity. By provoking Endo to distract Charles, I had finally found an opening.

Since they were busy fighting each other, I tried to silently sneak to the door.

“Where are you going Chris…”
