Edited Novel of IBTMITL (Chapter 201-256)

Chapter 235

(Florentia's POV)

"Uh...."

A murky sound came out of Crenny's mouth, seemingly embarrassed.

His big round eyes didn't move, as if he were stuck in Perez who was approaching us.

Although Crenny's life wasn't in danger.

It would be difficult for Crenny to endure that glaring and striding coming from Perez.

"Haa.."

I sighed softly and dragged Crenny slightly behind me.

And said, raising my hand towards Perez.

"Perez, stop."

At my words, Perez stopped a couple of steps away.

However, his gaze continued to follow with my hand holding Crenny's hand.

"Who..sister..."

From behind my back, Crenny called me in a frightened voice.

"Oh, God."

One of them is a guy who skipped two years at the Academy after serving as a senior officer at the current year and the other one is a guy who skipped one year at the top of the Academy as a senior and military officer.

I can't believe this is happening.

I let go of Crenny's hand and instead pointed to Crenny's face and asked Perez.

"Don't you think you've seen this face before?"

As if Crenny's existence itself was unpleasant, Perez's red eyes, sunken in black, turned towards Crenny.

"Hic!"

You're doing all sorts of things.

Crenny was eventually frightened and started to hiccup.

"Think carefully, Perez. Didn't you see him once when he was young and once when he was this big?"

Perez's thick eyebrows curled quietly.

And he thinks about it for a while.

"Oh."

Perez briefly admired and opened his mouth.

"Oh...Crenny?"

He found out fast.

Seeing him hesitating while calling his name, it was clear that he was not sure.

"Oh, I haven't seen you in a long time, Your Majesty."

"You've changed so much that I didn't recognize you."

Perez muttered a bit of an excuse uncharacteristically.

And then he looked at me and say.

"I'm telling you, I didn't recognize him."

"Yes, I see. Because you are not interested in people around you."

"No, I'm interested in Tia."

"....What--what are you talking about?"

As I was talking to Perez, Crenny smiled broadly and told me.

"You two look great standing beside each other like that!"

"What?"

Looking at the bright face of Crenny, it seemed very heartfelt.

It didn't seem to be in consideration of the fact that Perez and I were engaged so that the whole Empire would know, but we temporarily broke up the engagement after I became the successor of the household.
