Chapter 69: The Confrontation Between Shin and Respon


    I moved behind Shin with my anxious, rapidly beating heart that nearly numbed my body. I was very nervous at first, but when I thought about this confrontation I felt more at ease.


    Thest time I spoke with Respon, he tried to use Shin with many things, which some were true like his past and his nickname, while Shin used him of being a liar and a cheater.


    This time, I could just stand by and watch these two fight each other, and it was a refreshing idea to have two boys fighting for you as well. We were the only one in this quiet alley, as Shin just stood in the middle of it crossing his arms, waiting for the uing confrontation.


    Actually this wasn''t a fair fight, as Respon didn''t know he would face Shin now. I took a deep breath trying to calm my disturbed heart and chaotic mind, then I epted the call.


    "Finally you took my call, how are you doing?"


    Respon was looking straight at me with a concerned sincere look that made me feel some guilt.


    "I''m fine, did you try to reach me before?"


    "Yes, I tried yesterday and the day before but I couldn''t reach you," Respon said while he moved his eyes to the side, as he felt some gaze was upon him. It was a natural instinct humans had, but when he saw Shin he froze and his face changed to show some anger.


    "What are you doing here, crazy exiled prince?" Respon said.


    "I''m here to see what tricks you will try to pull with this little innocent girl here, treacherous liar," Shin replied with a sneer.


    I sensed fire already ignited between the two, so I retreated a couple of steps to give them space for this battle, while I felt more unease again about this. I shouldn''t have let Shin meet Respon now, or that was what I thought.


    "A liar and treacherous, that''s aplimenting from a failure prince like you," Respon said with a sneer as well.


    "I''m d you know your true colors, now stand away from this girl, don''t ruin her life like you did with me," Shin said seriously.


    "This girl you are speaking about is my fiance, it''s better for you to move away from her, or else" Respon said.


    "Or else what? I have nothing to lose, and you have huge harem sex maniac, why do you insist over this little girl here? leave her alone and move on with the rest of your girls," Shin said sarcastically.


    "It''s none of your business to tell me what I should do with my harem," Respon said with anger. I felt as if he was here, these two wouldn''t even say greetings to each other before raising weapons in each other''s face.


    "It''s my business as she is here with me and not you, where are you kind hearted prince?" Shin continued toment sarcastically with a calm tone. I felt he was enjoying speaking with Respon in this way.


    "You know better that I can''t leave my ce ande to you, or else you would be dead right now," Respon said trying to threaten Shin.


    "Oh, are you sure? At least you can try to help Agatha and not just talk nonsense all the time," Shin said trying to instigate him.


    "I never speak nonsense like some crazy prince, at least I''m a realistic not delusional," Respon said with a sneer.


    "Crazy or delusional doesn''t matter here, this is my concern not hers, so can you tell me, the mighty crown prince, how do you n to help her dealing with the guild master rank in her hands now?"


    Shin asked with a wide smile over his face. I felt Shin''s confidence, which only meant he knew some hidden facts about Respon and his position right now, information he didn''t share with me yet, which pissed me off.


    "I''m nning to help and support her, but first you stay away from her," Respon said decisively.


    "You first say what you have in mind, and then we can talk about our rtionship with her," Shin didn''t follow Respon''s lead and announced his stand clearly.


    "No, you first leave and I will discuss this matter with Agatha alone," Respon didn''t agree on Shin''s demand. Shin simply ignored him as he looked towards me asking with his irritating big smile:


    "What do you think, little sweet princess? Aren''t you curious to know what the mighty crown prince is preparing to help you in your guild issue?"


    I looked at Shin with ming eyes; he shouldn''t put me in this situation in the first ce. Respon looked at me and said nothing, so it seemed these two bastards decided to use me to decide their own conflicts, if so then I would be d to add more fire then to the mess.


    "I want to know your n in helping me indeed," I then turned to look toward Shin as I added, "But in return this will determine the rtionship between the three of us."


    Both boys looked at each other then towards me as Respon was the first to ask:


    "What do you mean by that?"


    I held my spear and pointed it towards the two as I said:


    "If you didn''t give me satisfactory support, then our previous engagement will be put on hold until you do your responsibilities as my fiance, and if Respon did his part, then you will be only like a brother to me."


    Surprise, disbelief, and some anger appeared at Respon''s face, while Shin was irritatingly calm as ever.


    "I have no objection to that," Shin said.


    "No, I don''t agree, he needs to be far away from you," Respon said with determination.


    "You don''t have the right to tell me who should be with me or not, you weren''t there when I needed you in the first ce, you should be grateful I''m still giving you a chance already," I faced him with greater determination and some anger of his ipetence so far.


    Shin had stood by my side, guided me in the first steps in this game, and helped me to retain my life so far, but Respon, he did nothing so far. I deserve to know if he was really concerned about me like he was showing or he was just like Shin described him, a liar.


    I wouldn''t agree to be just a number in his harem, that wasn''t the life I dreamed of, and I wasn''t forced now to do this.
