Little Tyrant Doesn't Want to Meet with a Bad End[1-200]

Chapter 117: Alicia, Forget It

Ever since she realized her feelings for Roel, there had been one problem that was plaguing Nora—if they were to really get together, they were likely to be in a long-distance relationship.

She was extremely busy with her responsibilities as the Theocracy's princess and her work over at the Knight Orders. This resulted in her frequently being stuck at either the Holy Capital or the Knight Orders. On the other hand, Roel, as the successor of the Ascart House, had to stay in the Ascart Fiefdom.

A very obvious problem arose from this.

The wise sages of the past had once said 'those who kill should be prepared to be killed', and Nora believed that this idiom could be extended toward thievery too. She was well aware that she was attempting to steal Roel from Alicia's side, and this realization made her even warier of others attempting to do the same. Furthermore...

Nora shot a look at Roel's face, which was further accentuated by the perfect lighting created by the pair of wings behind him, and her heart started beating faster and faster. Roel had the kind of face that would attract unnecessary attention from the opposite sex, and the fact that he had an unbelievably adorable adopted sister by his side only worsened her situation.

She would have to be a fool to put down her guard in such a situation!

Knowing that you have to guard against a thief is the easy part, the hard part is figuring how you should go about doing that.

Even with Nora's confidence, she didn't think that she could send out sparks telepathically from a long distance away. Her solution came unexpectedly from Crown's Bestowment.

She couldn't care less about the latter two spells, but the first spell brought a twinkle to her eyes. Just a slight switch in perspective, and the spell Roel was the least concerned with turned out to be the one she was the most fond of.

Through the first effect of Crown's Bestowment, she would be able to project a hologram and meet Roel once every 7 days. Factoring in that she could drop by Ascart Manor whenever she was traveling between the Holy Capital and the Knight Orders, there was a good chance that she could meet him five times in a month!

Five times! That was way more than the frequency of their meetings over the past few months! As the future empress, Nora's marriage was bound to have rippling effects throughout the Theocracy, which meant that her engagement and marriage had to be carefully planned out in order to avoid any instability. It was likely to take several years before she could officially propose to Roel.

In other words, she just had to make sure to keep a close eye on him for the next few years.

These thoughts only widened the smile on Little Miss Angel's face.

She looked at Roel, who was clearly feeling deeply moved about this matter, and she couldn't help but feel a little guilty about it... though her guilt was overshadowed by her surging excitement and desires.

This sure is... Ahh, that expression of deep trust, carrying not a sliver of doubt toward me at all. He's an adorable little pet that I just can't help but want to bully.

Nora's face swiftly flushed red. She knew that she couldn't pull Roel into her embrace in front of so many eyes, so she could only do her best to control herself. It was fortunate that the uproar occurring in the hall had deafened out her slightly heavy breathing, so Roel wasn't able to sense the anomaly in her condition.

"Look at the two of them! There are wings of light on their backs!"

"O' great Sia, what's going on here?"

Two little angels, who had unfurled their wings of light, were emanating pure white sparks that looked reminiscent of little fireflies. This supernatural scene made everyone present realize that they were witnessing an incredible sight that could very well go down in history!
