I Became The Childhood Friend of the Obsessive Second Male Lead

Chapter 129



Chapter 129

As soon as their eyes met, a reply was given without hesitation.

For Elisha.

It has been the most cherished promise of the past few years.

The most beautiful story he had ever read in any children’s book.

Elisha turns his eyes again from the old memories and sees Noel glaring at him.

It must have been that he was deeply upset because Elisha did not tell the story of the past.

“All right. I will tell you one thing.”

“Oh really?”

Noel smiled and pulled a chair in front of him and sat down.

“The Princess was happy to eat the candy that I personally prepared.”

“. . .?”

“Looking back now, it was a dizzyingly dangerous event. I was stupid.”

“What? Was it dangerous?”

Elisha gave a look of disappointment, and he mumbled something in the kingdom language.

“You, you! You cursed me now!”

“No. The Imperial language did not come to mind so I was just lost.”

“Do not be ridiculous! I heard Rieta say something similar!”

“Please stop talking nonsense. Is it possible for the Princess to use such a word?”

“You! You must have said it’s disgusting with your mouth!”

“But I think the Princess who says things like that would be cool for some reason. Only Lord, who is the Princess’ ‘close friend’, will get a chance to hear such words.”

A bright smile hung on Noel’s face when Elisha emphasized the word ‘close friend’.

“Oh, yes it is. Because I’m her close friend. I mean, there are a lot of promises between us.”

Some of it was a great promise to cross the border.

When they turned sixteen, they promised to live together in the Kingdom of Liz.

“May I ask what the promise is?”

“Of course you can.”

“What is it?”

Noel smiled very kindly, as if waiting for this moment.

“I don’t want to tell you.”

“. . .?”

Looking at Elisha’s bewildered face, he felt refreshed as if he had just taken revenge.

Just a little.

He came to understand the reason why Elisha replied, ‘I don’t want to tell you.’

Somehow in this world, there are things to be proud of that it is a waste to tell others.

As promised, Noel visited Elisha the next day after day.

The gang who didn’t like Elisha were secretly looking for an opportunity to harass, but because Noel was always there, they could not do so.

“How did that foreigner catch the eye of the Lord?”

It was important to be noticed by the future high-ranking nobleman.

Even if one didn’t become an Imperial knight, one might somehow acquire a decent job.

Especially when they were abandoned or not treated well by their families, such connections were desperately needed.

“It’s not like he has very good grades.”

“I saw him practicing, but he wasn’t that great. There was no professor in charge, so he was just going back and forth between classes.”

So all they could do was sit down in the cool shade of the Duchy’s carriage and talk.

“How did he even get in here?”

“I heard that his grandfather used to be a great knight. Didn’t he enter with that as an excuse?”

“Perhaps he does. Some professors say that there are people who weigh on the knight’s bloodline.”

They were sweating profusely in the hot weather.

There was a breeze, but it was just hot, and that didn’t help much.

The cadets fanned with their hands and grunted angrily.

“A little longer anyway, he might find out that a good lineage is useless and get kicked out.”

“The Lord will soon lose interest.”

The wind blew again.

Now that their breaths had become unbearably suffocating, the cadets stood up in unison.

They were annoyed, how could the weather be so cruel?

The cadets plunged their heads into the cold water.

They seemed to be able to live a little now.

The postman who always arrived at the Duke’s residence in the afternoon came to visit early in the morning for some reason.

“Did the Princess wake up?”

He asked, and pulled out a white envelope from his arms.

It was a letter from Elisha.

The butler hurriedly called Rieta, and she rushed out and hugged the postman tightly.

She waited for the letter for several days, and she was grateful that it was delivered so quickly.

“Thank you! Thank you so much!”

“Ah, Princess.”

The postman couldn’t even hug the high-status Princess carelessly, and was just flustered.

“If you’re happy like this, I’ll be embarrassed . . .”

“You’re embarrassed?”

Rieta let him go, she took a few steps back and laughed.

“You are the best delivery man. You brought me joy!”

The delivery man was slightly moved by the wonderful praise.

“Well, it’s worthwhile to run here first because you like it that much.”

He was delighted to see Rieta jumping on the porch.

As expected, the postman would be rewarded with this appearance.

“Then, Princess.”

The delivery man bowed slightly and said goodbye.

“I will come back at the appointed time in the afternoon, so if you wish to write a reply, please do so by then.”

“Yes! I’ll write it right now, thank you!”
