The Sweet Alpha Crown Prince Loves Me So Much Chapter 131

Chapter 131

“First, a good spanking with a stick down below. Second, confinement in a luxurious room followed by a spanking with a stick down below. Third, no spanking and no confinement, but doing everything he wants for life.”

Which one do you think it will be?

At Lulu’s words, counting on her fingers, Marco turned all shades of red and white.

“They’re all weird! It’s embarrassing and horrible!”

“I toned it down a lot. You still have a long way to go.”

It meant he was far from becoming a BL novel protagonist, but Marco felt like he was being looked down upon and pouted.

The eyes of Lulu and Marco, who had stayed up all night, were still dark.

A day had passed since the end of the incident, and they received news from Count Bourbon that both the Prince and Adrian were safe and that Mugicha Parman had been captured, close to being killed, and sent to Heineken.

Along with that, they also received the news that Carl Lindbergh had gone to Heineken first without saying goodbye.

It seemed that the conflict between the two was still ongoing.

Having lost their appetite due to worry, the two people and one animal, who had been starving all day, were now finally having their first meal.

Marco, who always looked out for the Prince, clenched his fist.

“What did the Prince do wrong? Isn’t it enough that he’s safe?”

“Grrr, bark bark!”

Elizabeth also sided with Marco, baring her teeth at Lulu.

“You guys don’t get it. Recklessness comes with a price. This is too serious to just brush off as ‘all’s well that ends well.’ You, me, Princess Leia, young master Belfry, and many others were worried sick. And think about His Highness Adrian’s feelings. They haven’t even been together that long. It was luck that he survived, but if things had gone wrong, he would have been sent to the afterlife.”

Lulu, shooting back in a scathing tone and scooping up tiramisu, looked so hateful that Marco glared at her.

He knew that even he, a mere attendant, had been worried sick, so Adrian must have felt it even more, but he didn’t want to admit it so readily.

“The Prince did what he did for a reason. You pretended to follow him around, calling him ‘brother, brother,’ so why are you siding with His Highness the Crown Prince now?”

“Grrrrr.”

Lulu, annoyed by Elizabeth who was sticking close to Marco and adding her two cents whenever he spoke, flicked her finger on her nose without fear.

“It’s because I’m thinking about how Adrian’s heart must have burned to ashes. And it’s okay to be punished like this. My brother, no, the Prince needs a strong remedy sometimes.”

Since it was true, Marco and Elizabeth both shut their mouths.

Lulu picked up her fork and pointed at the two.

“That kind of punishment won’t last long anyway. My brother must have been prepared for it to some extent. He’s probably crying his eyes out now, feeling sorry for Adrian, thinking, ‘I’ll do whatever you say.'”

People said that to Adrian Heineken, “Carl Lindbergh is your leash,” but Lulu hoped that Adrian would also become a good leash for her brother.

Someone who would tell him with their actions that he didn’t have to struggle in the midst of strong people who wouldn’t need him to, that he could be loved while being spoiled. She hoped that person would be Adrian Heineken.

As for confinement, it’s a luxurious life where you open your eyes and food and snacks appear, and a handsome husband who could fill your stomach just by looking at him is attached to you all year round.

‘Someone who had their ankles cut off in an underground prison would be heartbroken to hear that.’

That was the current situation of Mugicha, who had been taken to the Empire.

‘The situation in the Kingdom of Parman and the details of the plan won’t reach us commoners.’

Lulu stroked Elizabeth’s fur, who was noticeably drooping.

“Don’t worry too much. You’ll be able to meet him again soon.”

Even if a romance goes dark, it won’t be that extreme.

If Carl Lindbergh gets swayed appropriately, says he’s reflected, and coaxes him, he’ll melt and be all lovey-dovey again.

The route that slightly deviated from Lulu’s taste was obvious, so she took another plate of dessert as revenge.

Hesitantly, Marco also asked for another plate of dessert, feeling his appetite strangely stimulated by seeing Lulu.

“Even so, I still believe that there is no reason for the Prince to be punished. The Prince is a hero, no matter what anyone says. Don’t you agree, Janis?”

Marco looked back at Janis, who was sitting next to him, as if seeking agreement. Elizabeth also turned her head, following Marco with her round eyes.

Janis chuckled and moved her hands busily.

‘I wonder. This time, even Princess Leia is on His Highness Adrian’s side.’

Marco and Elizabeth’s ears drooped, and Lulu looked at the two triumphantly.

“Do you like it that much that the Prince is being punished?”

“Yes, it’s delicious.”

Hardships and trials make one stronger, and confinement is a must. Above all, the two seemed to need to get to know each other better.

What better opportunity for that than legal isolation?

Lulu merrily took half of Marco’s tiramisu.

Even when Marco burst out in annoyance, she didn’t care.

Marco and Elizabeth seemed worried that they might never see the Prince again, but Lulu had a premonition that the confinement would end in about a week.

After that, they would be able to watch the two lovebirds in Heineken.

Lulu gently smoothed the wrinkles on Elizabeth’s nose.

“You heard that the Prince was so injured that he can’t move?”

“Yes, rumors are spreading that he was rushed to Heineken. The soldiers said he used his magical power without reservation, so it must be because of that.”

Dropping the documents, Belfry turned pale at the attendant’s words.

‘I knew it. I told him that the Prince is still the Prince.’

Belfry blamed himself for not being able to more strongly teach him about the responsibilities and proper conduct of a Prince.

How scared and hurt he must have been.

Standing there, holding his forehead, Belfry was suddenly struck by the thought that Adrian Heineken might do something to the Prince.

The attendant had only repeated that he was injured since it was a secret that the Prince had entered the enemy lines alone.

Belfry suddenly raised his head and told the attendant to bring his coat.

“Prepare for a trip to the Empire!”

I have to go right away and stop His Highness Adrian. If not, the Prince might get a heavier wound than the weight of what he did, and from the person he loves the most.

Belfry, who knew what kind of ‘overflowing love’ his father had received from Grand Duke Balvenie in his childhood, felt a chill run down his spine.

Belfry urged the dawdling aide.

With all the commotion of ordering horses to be brought and not to pack any luggage, he didn’t notice who had opened the door and was watching the scene.

“What? Right now?”

“Yes, right now.”

No, what are you going to do there, young master?

Many prominent physicians and mages would be lined up to examine the Prince’s condition.

Seeing Belfry’s pale face and his hurried movements, the aide made a bewildered expression, and Princess Leia stepped forward.

Leia’s patience, more curious about Belfry’s reaction than her brother’s safety, was gradually running out.

“What are you going to do there?”

Startled, Belfry rambled.

“I need to check on the Prince’s condition and stop His Highness Adrian. He rarely loses his reason, but the situation is what it is. We must prepare for the unexpected.”

Leia crossed her arms and looked at Belfry sideways.

“The Heineken Imperial Family will take care of that. His Majesty wouldn’t just stand by and watch his son harm his Crown Princess.”

Why is this Princess suddenly, no, she had mixed it up before, but she hadn’t been so blatantly informal before.

“But no one can stop His Highness when he’s truly angry. If I’m there, at least…”

He was still his foster brother, so maybe he could somewhat appease him.

“Is Carl Lindbergh more important to you than His Highness Adrian? Do you think you can control his intense emotions when even his parents can’t? That’s absurd.”

Belfry’s face flushed.

Leia came close to Belfry. Their eye levels were roughly similar. However, because the Princess wore heeled suede boots, unlike Belfry who usually wore flat, low shoes, Belfry felt like she was looking down on him.

It felt like blue sparks were popping in front of his eyes, so Belfry rolled his eyes.

Leia whispered in his ear.

“Is it not that you just want to go because you can’t let go of your feelings for Carl Lindbergh?”

Stabbed in the heart, Belfry hung his arm holding his coat and bit his lower lip.

The two stood face to face without a word.

The aide, who had heard Leia’s sharp words because he was close to Belfry, broke out in a cold sweat, sent the servants out, and stood by the door.

“…What if it’s true?”

Belfry answered as if giving up, and Leia contorted her face.

“I told you that it’s not a heart that can be easily folded.”

As if crying, Belfry hung his head, and Leia clenched her fist in front of him.

“…Even if you go to Heineken now, you won’t even be able to see a single hair on Carl Lindbergh’s head. The Prince is under house arrest. And the Crown Prince is with him. He said that no visitors are allowed, except for the minimum necessary attendants.”

At Leia’s firm words, Belfry’s shoulders trembled.

“Then, shouldn’t I go even more? Don’t you worry, Princess?”

“Your and my worries won’t help the two of them now. We can’t influence them.”

Seeing Belfry’s grim face, Leia was frustrated, but she spoke more calmly.

“Then, if I ask to see my father…”

“I can’t allow that.”

Belfry’s last attempt was also rejected. Clenching and unclenching her fist, Leia sighed and turned around.

“…Don’t worry about Carl Lindbergh, please worry about yourself first.”

Belfry watched Leia walk away with his eyes and motioned to the aide who was casting a worried look.

The aide followed Leia out without a word, and Belfry, alone, sank onto the sofa.

Belfry was a subject of the Empire. The Princess of the Kingdom of Lindbergh had no right to tell him what to do.

Princess Leia must know that, but she seemed to be testing Belfry.

He was being tossed around by various emotions these days, and the biggest cause was Princess Leia, who was narrowing the distance without hesitation.

It was one thing to come and ask to eat and drink tea, but why did Princess Ayla Leva appear every time?

It was also a pain to see Princess Ayla’s eyes slightly dampen at the Princess’s actions, which openly prevented Belfry from leaving awkwardly.

Lying down on the sofa, Belfry covered his eyes with one arm.

“What do you want to do with me, Princess?”

While thinking about the Princess, the thought of the Prince, who might be suffering in the Empire, flew far away.
