Chapter 34: My Confrontation with Respon 2


    This time I totally stopped in my tracks as I was about to lose my bnce. I felt my heart beats be rapid in an instance.


    Immediately I opened the forums. The sticky post there held my name in it. I opened this topic and began to read its content with disbelief.


    ''Apology to princess Dolly.


    We, Godenal aristocratic family, had made a grave mistake in mistakenly attacking the princess Dolly. Princess Dolly is the fiance of our beloved crown prince Respon.


    After our knowledge of that, we decided to apologize in public. We won''t try to harass the princess again. She is free to do whatever she wants and we won''t stand against her.


    Our future queen is the mother of all aristocratic families, and it will be a grave crime trying to target her. We hope she epts our apology and forgives us.''


    I read this topic countless times before I closed the forums. I looked towards Shin as I held endless questions.


    "Are you really the fiance of our crown prince?"


    Grendy asked in disbelief. I noticed the looks of suspicions towards me. Suddenly, I changed from the ce of the heroine into the ce of the suspect. That wasn''t a pleasant thing to feel.


    "I''m really that sex maniac fiance, but I tried to escape from him by ying here."


    I replied with my firm belief, as this was the simple truth. My father always told me to stick to my principals and defend myself with simple truth. Truth always prevailed, that was his words.


    "But"


    Before Grendy could continue his words, Shin interfered to help me:


    "Do you suspect her? Didn''t you see with your own eyes her battles? Did you forget the assassination she had few hours ago? She is the dragon spear yer who defeated the 50 teams of pros at the gate of the vige."


    Shin words had an obvious effect on all of them. They suspected me and they were my closest yers, what about the rest of the yers then? I opened the forums to be weed by many threads attacking me.


    All of them were pointing out the fact that I was ying with them. An aristocratic girl had a feud with some aristocratic families, why should normal yers like them participate?


    I smelled the backhand of my enemies there. I admitted to myself, this was a brilliant move. I also found my greatest threat and mistake. That damn Respon!


    He didn''t stop at sending assassins to kill me, but he was trying his best to corner me. He managed to cut all my power by this simple move. I clenched on the spear that was in my hand.


    A deep hatred began to be born inside me. That Respon had crossed all the limits. While I was this angry, I received a sudden request.


    I checked it to find it was a friend request. The name of the one who sent it made me boil with extreme anger.


    "You wait here for a moment, I will be back again."


    I said that to all of them without even looking at them in the eye. I moved with furious steps towards a distant ce. That ce was hidden by some trees. While I moved there, I received a message from Shin asking:


    "Are you ok?"


    I wasn''t in the mood to chat with him, so I replied in short words:


    "I need to talk to someone."


    Shin didn''t reply. He must have guessed the identity of Respon by now. I didn''t know the whole story between the two, but I was sure there was something.


    Once I reached the back of these trees, I made sure there was no monster nor yer near me.


    Then I epted the friend request to be weed by a video call request. I epted it to see that shameless Respon in front of me.


    "Oh my sweet love, I was very worried about you."


    I held deep my hatred as I replied coldly:


    "Your sweet love? Worried? You are way far from the true meaning of these words."


    His face changed as if I was using him falsely. He said rapidly with anxious looks:


    "I really mean what I said. I didn''t do anything to harm you, I''m trying to protect you. You are really my future queen."


    I sped my arms as I looked to him with defiance as I said:


    "You liar! How dare you?!! I trusted you with my secrets, and in response you sent some assassins to get rid of me!! if you are in front of me now, I would have killed you with my bare hands!!!"


    Respon face turned ashen at once. he looked towards me with disbelief as he said in defense:


    "It''s not my doing. I swear by the honor of my father and my empire, that was not my doing.


    I was betrayed, and nearly lost my life on the hands of one traitor of my men. You can check the news, everyone knew about this ident."


    I didn''t buy his words as I used him again:


    "A liar will always be a liar."


    "No, I''m not a liar. I was framed, betrayed, and nearly lost my life here. I never would harm my future queen."


    I was tired of his lies as I exploded on him:


    "Future queen? Who is your future queen? I''m just one little girl you brought from a far weak kingdom to join your harem.


    You are a terrible liar and I will never fall on your tricks. Shin was right about you, you are really a snake that wanted to eat me alive!"


    He met my storm of anger with his silly expression as he asked like he was surprised to hear my words:


    "Who is this Shin? Is he Shin the crazy prince?"


    I was dazed in front of his question. I suspected the true identity of Shin to be one of the high aristocrats who had been subjected to injustice.


    That was the reason for all his hatred towards them, but I never imagined he would be this famous. I asked with caution:


    "What do you mean by crazy price?"


    Respon showed an expression of disbelief mixed with shock, then his face changed to be full with sympathy and concern.


    I wasn''t this fool girl who would fall for such an obvious act, though he was a great actor for the record. Respon replied after a short sigh:


    "Shin is a prince that is directly rted to me by blood. Few years ago, he went crazy. He kept yelling about conspiracy and iming crazy stuff like the downfall of the empire and the holy mission that he held.


    He was branded as a crazy prince who lost his mind and was sent to the training program in an attempt to fix his insanity. His all words are full of lies and craziness. It''s best for you to avoid him."


    I replied coldly to him:


    "You aren''t in a position that allows you to advise me. You are the liar here, not him. You sold me out and told my secrets to those damn aristocrats."


    Respon refused to admit his misdoings:


    "I''m not a liar! I didn''t sell you out! I was framed and betrayed and assassinated just like you. I have nothing to do with those aristocrats."


    I didn''t buy any of his lies as I said in mockery:


    "Really? Then why are they this desperate to kill me?"


    Respon sighed as he said:


    "I asked them about that matter. They said they were trying to teach the crazy prince a lesson when you stood on their way. It was you who interfered in a conflict that had nothing to do with you."


    "You are telling a lie again!"


    "I''m not! Just calm down and try to recall the events. These aristocrats are bad fruit, I admit that, but they aren''t that crazy to target any girl like this! Recall the events please and you will know the truth."
