Chapter 27. Chaos? (2)

It appears I've forgotten something.

Prince Lysander slowly released himself from Lysandra's embrace, who was lost in her own world, holding her cheeks that blushed like tomatoes, as he drifted into his thoughts. Meanwhile, John stood beside him, energetically chatting about something.

'Wait, I forgot... all the characters except Sharon are nobles, right? If I meet John now... surely I'll encounter another character at this party, won't I? Despite spending the day greeting guests with Lysandra... they were all adults... which means John came with his father. And thenㅡ'

"Congratulations, Your Highness, you handled the commotion so amazingly and helped John! Allow me to introduce myself, I am Yuna blablabla!" exclaimed a cheerful girl, interrupting Prince Lysander's thoughts. John smiled and greeted 'Yuna'.

『Yuna is a girl from a not so poor or wealthy noble family, but her vibrant energy and infectious enthusiasm make her stand out in any crowd. She is a ray of sunshine, with long, flowing silver hair that cascades down her back like a waterfall. Her sun golden eyes sparkle with mischief and curiosity, reflecting her lively spirit. Yuna's laughter is melodic and uplifting, brightening up even the dreariest of days. Despite her young age, she exudes confidence and charisma, drawing people towards her with ease. With a kind heart and a generous nature, Yuna is always eager to lend a helping hand and make others smile. Her presence brings warmth and joy to those around her, leaving a lasting impression wherever she goes.』

Or that's the brief character introduction of Yuna to the best of Prince Lysander's recollection. However, upon noticing a girl timidly hiding behind Yuna's petite figure, it appears that Prince Lysander will encounter not only Yuna and John.

"Your Highness, Yuna is my friend! She actually greatly admires Prince Lucius too! Right, Yuna?!" John interrupted, prompting Yuna to blush and playfully hit John's shoulder as she stammered, "I-I mean... um, yes... it's too bad I haven't met Prince Lucius... I thought this was my chance to ask for his autograph..."

Lysandra, who appeared to have returned from her reverie, glared coldly at John and Yuna, stating, "Both of you should show proper manners in the presence of His Highness... Haven't your parents taught you etiquette?"

"I'MㅡI apologize!!!" The girl cried out, quickly bowing deeply from behind Yuna's back. Yuna appeared annoyed, pouting and casting a glare at Lysandra, who exuded an aura of anger with sharp eyes. John also hesitantly joined in offering apologies.

"It's fine, even though you are all older than us. Let's just relax, as this is my gathering with Lysandra, isn't it?" Prince Lysander finally spoke, grinning widely at Lysandra, linking her hand onto his arm before smiling at the others. However, his gaze eventually landed on the shy girl who had once again sought refuge behind Yuna.

Before Yuna could interject, Lysandra, now composed in Prince Lysander's grasp, promptly addressed the hidden girl, "And you! You should properly introduce yourself to His Highness."

Slowly but surely, the girl began to reveal herself from behind Yuna, stealing glances at Lysandra before quickly turning her gaze towards Prince Lysander, who held a much gentler expression for her.

Her voice was barely audible over the murmurs of the adults around the front gardens of the palace, yet for Prince Lysander, her words reached him clearly as he tried not to show too much surprise at the sight of the young girl, so different from the character in his game.

"Allow me to introduce myself...my name is Theresa from the blablabla family...I...I...I apologize to Your Highness...and to Miss Heartwood as well...congratulations to both of you...uuu," Theresa whispered, shrinking her petite frame while stealing glances at the floor and occasionally at Prince Lysander.

『Theresa, a young girl from the blablabla family, was a delicate and timid figure standing behind Yuna. Her slender frame hinted at her youth, with soft features that seemed almost ethereal under the sunlight filtering through the trees. Her eyes, a warm shade of hazel, held a mixture of shyness and curiosity as she nervously glanced between Lysandra and Prince Lysander.』

『Theresa's long, chestnut brown hair cascaded down her back in gentle waves, framing her face in a soft and innocent manner. She wore a simple, yet elegantly embroidered dress that accentuated her slender figure, the pastel hues complementing her fair complexion. Despite her petite stature, there was a sense of grace in the way she carried herself, a quiet strength reflected in her shy demeanor.』

『Her small hands fidgeted nervously at her sides, betraying the uncertainty that lingered within her. The soft timbre of her voice matched her gentle presence, barely audible over the hum of conversation around her. Theresa's gestures were delicate and hesitant, a reflection of her reserved nature and the reverence she held for those around her.』

『Overall, Theresa exuded an air of innocence and vulnerability, yet beneath the surface, there was a hidden depth and resilience waiting to be discovered.』

"What is this? Why has the narrator been appearing in my head lately?" wondered Prince Lysander as he gazed at Theresa.

In the game, adult Theresa remained close friends with Yuna and had a shy nature, but her true character was much firmer compared to Lysandra...she was one of the characters I liked...oh no, I can't catch my breath because I'm too happy to see one of my favorite waifus now in front of me...

"Your Highness? What's wrong? Why are you silent?...don't tell me..." Lysandra broke the silence, giving Prince Lysander a moment to finally breathe. Her grip on Prince Lysander's arm tightened slightly as Lysandra's face began to look down, her features obscured by her hair, leaving her expression unknown.

Yuna, upon noticing this, laughed and clapped her hands, "Ahaha! It seems that Your Highness has fallen in love at first sight with Theresa! As expected from Theresa!"

Uh-oh! It didn't take long before Prince Lysander could sense the forbidden door to Lysandra's bad end route opening...

"Ahahaha! I actually like Yuna and Theresa as well. Would you both be interested in becoming engaged to me too? Maybe sharing with Lysandra? Of course, I will take good care of all of you!" Prince Lysander joked unconsciously.

Wait, what?

What did I just say???
