For Me

However, Flora didn’t give up.

She just gave up doing things that would damage her image in places where others could see her.

In other words, when she was alone with the Crown Prince, she would still transform into various characters to try things out.

But with experience comes wisdom, Flora had already reflected on herself.

For his own safety, the Crown Prince was very wary of women who tried to get close to him and wanted to become his lover.

That’s why Flora’s mature/sexy older sister tactics had suffered an unprecedented blow.

But the tsundere girl type wasn’t a big problem.

Excluding the emotionless ice beauty type, which was too cold… Flora still had many characters she could try.

For example, the “I want to be your maid for the rest of my life” yandere route, the “You bastard Crown Prince, I OX you” delinquent girl route, or the sickly and melancholic girl route who cries all day long… there were many options.

Flora was confident—

“Are you done playing?”

After two days, she finally found a chance to be alone with the Crown Prince during breakfast.

Flora had just started acting when the Crown Prince showed an impatient expression.

“What do you want to do?”

Before Flora could explain or apologize, the Crown Prince asked again.

“I just want to make Prince Ryan happy…”

Flora had to use the reason she had used countless times before.

But this time, the Crown Prince didn’t plan to let her get away with it.

“I don’t think there’s anything to be happy about,” he looked at Flora coldly.

“I’m sorry…”

“Leave.”

Flora silently stepped aside.

“Leave to a place where I can’t see you, and have someone else come.”

Hearing such a clear order, Flora knew that the Crown Prince was really angry. Annoyed, she stepped forward instead.

“Prince Ryan, I’m very sorry, the other maids have already been assigned to work.

I promise not to do anything unnecessary next time, please allow me to—”

“You also know that you’re doing unnecessary things?”

The Crown Prince was even more dissatisfied, “Okay, you stay here, I’ll leave.”

After speaking, the black-haired boy quickly left the dining room.

Flora quickly chased after him, but the situation of not being able to control her body happened again.

She accidentally fell to the ground.

Honestly, Ryan didn’t know why he was so angry.

It wasn’t like the blonde girl was doing strange things for the first time.

As long as he ignored her, she would soon get bored and stop doing it.

But Ryan was just annoyed.

Especially when facing him, the blonde girl never repented and tested his limits again and again.

To others, the blonde girl would quickly correct herself, be extremely considerate, and extraordinarily caring.

He was clearly the master… couldn’t she treat him with a slightly more normal attitude?

“Y-Your Highness, good morning!”

“Ah… no, Prince Ryan, good morning.”

On the way to the courtyard, Ryan met two maids who, despite trembling, still mustered the courage to greet him.

This made him even more annoyed.

Because it reminded him of that blonde girl.

At the same time, he also realized.

His butler, assistant, chef, and maids… had all been won over by the blonde girl without him realizing it.

They all inexplicably had an unusual fondness for the blonde girl.

They all began to plead and excuse the blonde girl at all costs.

Would they still put him in their eyes after a few days?

(It seems I can only drive her away…)

Ryan remembered Morick’s suggestion and the agreement he had made with him to at least spare the blonde girl.

But for some reason, as soon as he had this thought, another emotion surged from the bottom of his heart.

He didn’t want to do that.

Even though he knew that letting the blonde girl continue would be detrimental to him, he still couldn’t suppress the sprouting of this feeling.

Even if it was poison, he wanted to continue drinking it.

“Prince Ryan, please wait!”

At this time, the blonde girl chased after him.

But Ryan just wanted to escape to a farther place.

He was afraid that after seeing the blonde girl, the dangerous thoughts he had just had would become even stronger.

“Ah!”

A sudden scream rang out.

Ryan turned his head to look.

Not far away, the gardener who had been pruning the trees not long ago fell from a high place and was convulsing on the ground.

Ryan subconsciously wanted to go over, but he quickly stopped.

The blonde girl also noticed the gardener’s situation.

Clearly, the blonde girl would step forward to heal the gardener, and once again win over a wave of people’s hearts.

If that was the blonde girl’s purpose.

If that was what she had to do to stay.

Then let her do it—

“Your Highness, please save Mr. Gardner, he must have fallen on his spine, the situation is very bad!”

The blonde girl walked over and pulled Ryan towards him without explanation.

“Wouldn’t it be better if you went?”

Ryan didn’t know why he would say such a thing.

But he was a little annoyed.

Now, he didn’t care about winning people’s hearts anymore.

But the blonde girl was still acting, still pretending to care about him… making him almost feel like he was being expected.

The blonde girl was slightly stunned, and then showed a slightly angry, yet sad expression.

“Prince Ryan, this is what you should do! Mr. Gardner is your subordinate… you can order me to go, but you can’t stand idly by!”

It was like this again.

Ryan didn’t know why the blonde girl was angry.

Even if the blonde girl wasn’t the person he thought she was, she could give him advice like Morick.

The look of heartache, worry, and yet still holding expectations and hope for him should have been exclusive to that long-gone person.

What right did this blonde girl have to show such an expression?

Why did she have to show such an expression?

Clearly, she could do better, so why did she expect him, who couldn’t do anything and couldn’t even protect that person, to do anything?

He wanted to refuse.

In the form of lying—

“Your Highness, you should know healing magic, right?”

It wasn’t a question, but an inquiry identical to that person’s.

He couldn’t lie.

He should say that since losing that person, there hadn’t been a day that he didn’t regret the lies he had once told.

Because he could never apologize to that person again.

He would learn healing magic so that he wouldn’t easily lose important things again.

Thinking of this, he walked up—

“Mr. Gardner, how are you, are you okay? If there’s anything else that’s uncomfortable, please be sure to tell Prince Ryan!”

“Ah… cough, ha… I feel much better… thank you, Prince Ryan…”

There was no need to thank him.

He wasn’t good at healing magic at all.

After learning it for so many years, he could only provide emergency treatment.

If he really wanted to recover, he should go to the official doctor in the mansion.

The blonde girl took the initiative to make this suggestion.

“That won’t do, that’s Prince Ryan’s personal therapist…”

“Mr. Gardner, you don’t have to be polite. Prince Ryan has already included this in the employee benefits. Just feel at ease and accept the treatment.”

“I’m so grateful to you, Prince Ryan.”

There was nothing to be thankful for.

It wasn’t his credit.

“That’s great.”

After the guards who had heard the news helped the gardener away, the blonde girl showed a heartfelt happy expression.

Ryan was annoyed again.

Until that smiling face turned towards him.

“Prince Ryan, please be sure to promote this welfare system. Not only will it maintain the health of your subordinates, but it will also increase their loyalty and improve your reputation…”

As always, the blonde girl was afraid that he wouldn’t be willing to persist, that he wouldn’t be willing to simply do good deeds, and was desperately trying to rely on the benefits and interests he could get.

Ryan wasn’t so annoyed anymore.

Even if it wasn’t a smiling face at this time, just a very serious expression.

But what he wanted to see was the blonde girl at this time.

“I understand.”

At the same time, the feeling he had just had… whether it was saving a life in time or being thanked.

He felt that it wasn’t bad.

“That’s good.”

The blonde girl showed a faint smile of relief.

At this time, Ryan suddenly realized.

He didn’t actually hate her smiling face.
