Chapter 6
The Count’s daughter was left speechless, her lips merely fluttering in silence. Seeing this, the Marquis’s daughter sitting to her right snapped at Richard.
“Young Lord Friedrich. Doing this won't change a thing.”
“Pardon?”
“Are you unaware?”
The Marquis’s daughter spoke with a face of ice.
E ǹ u m̀ а̄ . іd̀
“At any rate, His Imperial Highness already has a woman he loves.”
Give up, you have no chance. A gaze carrying that exact meaning pierced through Richard.

“His Highness loves Lady Beatus. It would be best for you to stop before it is too late, Young Lord.”
However, Richard continued to mumble on his cake, showing no particular reaction.
“I am aware.”
He calmly reached out with his fork and said,

“But he will soon come to like me more.”
“……Ha?”
Finding him utterly impossible to reason with, even the Marquis’s daughter let out a hollow laugh as if at a loss for words. The corners of her mouth trembled.
“I simply cannot listen to this any longer!”

A Viscount, unable to watch any further, intervened.
“Tsk! Have you truly lost your mind?! How can a man love another man?”
Е̃n̂ū m̆ а̂ . і ḋ
His thick voice erupted in anger.
“……”
Richard slowly turned his head toward the source of the voice. He looked blankly at the man and asked,
“Why can I not?”
Richard blinked twice.
“Why, because it is obviously……! It is vulgar and filthy!”

The Viscount’s voice grew forceful, as if the suggestion was out of the question.
“And what about an heir?!”
He huffed.
“How is a man like you supposed to conceive?”
“Pardon?”
Richard asked back with eyes of pure innocence.

“……?”
The Viscount’s eyes narrowed.

“Viscount. Um…… Do you truly not know?”
As if embarrassed, Richard’s water-colored eyes shook, losing their focus—acting as if he couldn't believe the man didn't know.
“Is there…… is there a way?”
The Viscount asked, wrinkling the bridge of his nose.

“Well……”
Richard rolled his eyes. Then, he spoke in a peaceful tone, as if stating something as obvious as the sun rising in the morning and setting at night.
“If His Highness pushes me onto the bed, roughly strips off my clothes, and we roll around together…… then naturally—”
“Stop right there, Young Lord Friedrich!”

Before the vulgar words could go any further, the Viscount shouted at the top of his lungs.
‘He truly has gone mad…….’

‘Does he have no shame?’
The nobles whispered while glancing at Richard. The rumors that he had acted like a lunatic at the banquet were by no means an exaggeration. The son of Marquis Friedrich was indeed out of his mind.
Just as the nobles, not wanting to hear anything more foul, were about to shut their mouths, an old Baron with a sinister impression approached Richard. A greasy gaze swept him up and down.
“Mm, your face is decent enough, but……”
His hand roughly grabbed Richard’s chin, bringing his lecherous face uncomfortably close.
“……!”

The watching nobles furrowed their brows. It was Baron Palos, a man infamous for his ill repute.
“Shall I teach you the taste of a man for once?”
The Baron licked his lips as if savoring a meal. There were notorious rumors that he summoned handsome young men to his bedroom every night to molest them.
“……”
Richard said nothing. His gaze dropped to the floor. As his head hung low, his shoulders trembled intermittently.
“……?”
Eń um̂ â. і̀ d̂
The observing nobles grew curious. He didn't look like the type, but was he actually hurt by those words……?
At that moment, a stifled laugh burst through Richard’s teeth.

“Hahahahahaha!”
In an instant, he threw his head back and roared with laughter.
“Haha, ah, my apologies, Baron. It’s just that I happened to hear such a funny story……”
Richard wiped the corners of his eyes and rose from his chair. One moment later, his water-colored eyes turned cold.

“However.”
Richard stepped close to the old Baron and roughly gripped his shoulder.
“It seems you are mistaken about something.”
His voice sank chillingly.

“……!”
The old Baron’s shoulder flinched.

“I do not like His Highness because he is a ‘male’.”
Richard bared his teeth as if he might devour the man, a vivid smirk hanging on his lips.
“I,”
A momentary, suffocating silence followed. He stared with a fire in his eyes and spoke each word clearly, as if chewing and spitting them out.
“Do not meet anyone unless ‘it’ is larger than mine.”
“……”

“……?”
The nobles doubted their own ears. What did he just say……?
“‘It’ must be large. ‘It.’”
As if to turn their doubt into certainty, Richard spat out the words once more with venom.
“……”
“……”

“…Oh my god.”
Starting with one person’s gasp, the nobles began to slink away from Richard.

‘He is a genuine madman…….’
One could be crazy, but there were limits; when someone was this insane, the best course of action was simply not to get involved. How could a noble utter such foul things in a public gathering?
Yet, even as they thought so, they couldn't shake a single thought from their minds.
‘Wait….’
W è bń.оv̂e l̄ Ёn ú ma
The thought everyone was having in common:
‘…Did he… see it?’
Young Lord Friedrich, who said he wouldn't meet anyone unless they were bigger than him. The one he loved was the Crown Prince. If that was the case, then the Crown Prince was……
‘……!’

Just as the nobles’ faces were turning a shade of pure shock, a soldier's thunderous cry rang out.
“The Little Sun of the Empire, His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince, enters!”
Ѐ n̄ ů m̆ а
With the soldier’s shout, the glass doors of the garden conservatory opened. And then, a man with hair as black as the abyss stepped into the conservatory. Blood-red eyes swept over the interior with a chill.
“……!”
The nobles immediately showed their respect and bowed to the heir of the Empire.
“We greet the Little Sun of the Empire, His Imperial Highness.”
Richard, who was offering his greetings among the crowd, raised his head. He watched Caelus’s red eyes as if he were going to swallow him whole.
“……”

Twitch. Caelus’s eyebrow flickered. His gaze shot straight toward Richard. At the moment their eyes locked, a knight announced another arrival.
“Lady Daphne Beatus of the Beatus Marquisate enters.”
Fluttering a pale pink frilled dress like a spring flower, Daphne entered the garden conservatory.
“…Lady Daphne…!”
Immediately shifting his gaze away from Caelus, Richard jumped up from his seat. Seeing her beautiful figure made his heart throb.
“…Richard…! Hello.”
E̊ n um̆ӑ .і̂ d́
Daphne smiled with a strange look on her face. Like someone who had something weighing on their mind.
“……”

The reason was obvious. The incident at the banquet. He had suddenly poured out a confession of love to her former fiancé, so how could she not be concerned?
Richard’s lips parted, wanting to explain himself right this instant. But in the end, Richard swallowed his words.
‘Too many eyes watching.’
Including Caelus, countless nobles were present. As someone who had to seduce Caelus, there was nothing Richard could tell her right now.

Once Daphne arrived, the tea party officially began.
“……”
“……”
Perhaps due to Richard’s "size" bombshell earlier, no one dared to open their mouth easily. Silence followed in the frozen atmosphere.

“…Daphne.”
Amidst this, Caelus approached Daphne and kindly pulled out a chair for her.

“Won't you sit here?”
The seat of honor, directly to his right.
“……”
However, the look in Daphne’s eyes as she watched him was nothing short of cold.
“Thank you, but I am fine, Your Highness.”
Answering as if drawing a line, Daphne walked halfway around the circular table to distance herself from him. The place she sat was to the left of Richard.

“……!”
Richard’s water-colored eyes widened slightly. However, he reminded himself of his goal and tried to calm his racing heart.
Once everyone was seated, the maids carefully brought out silver trays with teapots. They began pouring warm tea into the cups, starting with the Crown Prince and then continuing in order of the nobles' status.
“……”
Richard watched the yellow tea being poured into Daphne’s cup intently.
‘The poisoned tea.’
Е̂ ň um̊ӓ
Unlike when pouring tea for the other nobles, the maid tilted the teapot handle to the right only when pouring her tea. Richard watched the yellow liquid sloshing in her cup with heated eyes.
‘It’s mine.’

He licked his lips several times. He would find an opportunity to snatch and drink that poisoned tea before it ever reached Lady Daphne’s mouth.
It was just as he was hardening his resolve.
“…Daphne. I’ve prepared things that you like.”
At the Crown Prince’s gesture, the maids moved. They placed plates full of beautiful, delicious-looking cherry pudding, macarons, and walnut pie in front of Daphne.

The nobles inhaled sharply.
‘His Highness specially for Lady Beatus…….’
‘Oh my…….’

Thoughtful consideration for the woman he loved. The noble ladies felt their ears turn red with unnecessary excitement. However, Daphne’s own smile was frigid.
“…Thank you, Your Highness.”

Though she expressed her thanks in words, she didn't spare a single glance at the desserts prepared for her.
“……”
Caelus seemed to notice this as well, as his face darkened.
“Since it is something you like, if you could please enjoy it comfortably……”
He was about to try another move.
Slam!

Richard stood up, roughly striking the table.
And then.
Squish!
He slammed his face straight into the cherry pudding prepared for Daphne.
“……?”
“What the……”

The tea party venue fell into an instantaneous silence.
“Ah……”

Richard raised his head with a sly smile. Red pudding dripped down his cheek.
“I seem to have lost my balance for a moment……”
