Traversing to another world, Lin En is captured right from the start. The captor is the antagonist princess from the original work, intending to control him by using him for hypnosis experiments. In a critical moment, Lin En comes up with a quick-witted plan, feigning the success of the experiment and deceiving her with his acting skills. But this was only a temporary measure. Because in the original story, her ending is very tragic, and none of her associates meet good ends. Hence, Lin En must pretend to be under the hypnosis while secretly being ready to flee at any moment. But gradually things start to take an unexpected turn. ... The Princess's Diary [The experiment was a success!] [As the sole specimen, I've decided to keep him by my side.] [Due to the curse mark on my face, I am loathed by the public, but he says I'm beautiful.] [I'm happy because people tell the truth when hypnotized.] [Alone with him, I impulsively kissed him.] [The feeling was strange and made me lose my composure, fortunately, he won't retain any memory of it after the hypnosis is lifted.] [So, it's okay to be a bit bolder, right?]
"Such foolish acts, it's not just me, I fear no wise person in this world would choose to support you, to assist you!"
Duke Tierus, as if infuriated by non-resistance, went on at length.
Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he glanced at Lynn, who was pretending to be a quail at his side, and revealed a cold smile, "Of course, you're an exception."
"Uh... thanks for the compliment?"
Lynn didn't know what else to say and could only reply dryly.
In his view, Duke Tierus's burst of anger was actually a good thing.
It would have been tougher to deal with him if he had maintained a strictly official attitude.
Only... his relationship with Ivyst didn't seem as estranged as he had imagined?
Noticing his puzzled gaze, Duke Tierus sighed deeply while smoking, "The Princess's mother and I were childhood friends."
Oh shoot.
This gossip is crunchy, fragrant, and sweet all at once.
