“Fiona Heilon… it’s really not that bad.”

“What are you doing here?”

As Enoch was in his thoughts, he had no idea someone was near him. He was startled by the voice for a second, then turned his head. There stood Sigren. Enoch had seen Sigren at least once or twice in an informal setting even before SIgren was declared as the official prince. Of course, in that encounter, Sigren was not worthy of his attention. So he pretty much ignored Sigren completely.

But did that guy hear what he just mumbled?

‘Wait, what if he did hear? He’s just a lucky illegitimate child anyway.’

“To even talk to this older brother without saying hello, I guess you don’t even know the basics because you’re a half-blood.’

“….”

It hurt Enoch’s self-esteem that this guy only looked at him for a short time.

Sigren looked down at the place where Enoch’s gaze had just stayed with a mysterious expression.

Enoch then opened his mouth as he notice wh Sigren was looking at. “Yeah, you said you came from Heilon too. Then you must know something about her. Tell me about her.”

A cold smile appeared on Sigren’s face whose had never reacted to anything before. “I don’t know what the intent of this question is, but…”

Enoch was looking at Fiona, so he couldn’t see Sigren’s face. “Since she’s a pretty girl, this prince kind of thinking to hold her on my side for a while. I’ve been bored lately.”

Sigren’s eyes darkened hearing those words. Then he replied in a cold tone. “A pathetic reason not even worthy of an answer.”

“What?” Enoch frowned hearing Sigren’s unexpected answer. Enraged, Enoch pulled SIgren by the collar. What was this bastard talking to him?

Sigren stared at Enoch annoyed as he tried to stop himself not to break his opponent’s wrist reflexively.

Which of course, Enoch didn’t know that.

“What kind of behavior does his cheeky bastard have to dare to say that to this Crown Prince?!”

Then Enoch swung his fist at Sigren.

“….!”

However, his fist was caught in Sigren’s hand at once. Even more, when he tried to pull his hand out, his hand was stuck.

Sigren smiled sarcastically when he saw Enoch’s face getting red. “Let’s try a little harder, older brother?”

“You! You damn bastard!”

Enoch tried to pull Sigren by the collar, which he was still holding, but SIgren did not move.

A cynical smile appeared for a moment on Sigren’s face, then his face quickly changed into a frighteningly cold expression. His blue-grey eyes looked down at Enoch. “Is it my turn already?”

It was such a creepy voice that gave Enoch goosebumps.

Sigren grabbed Enoch’s collar and pushed him forward.

“….!”

The strength was so strong that Enoch could not hold out for even a few seconds. In an instant, his back was pressed against the pillar. Enoch, who was strangled by the collar, could only make a squeaky sound.

“Esc..escort…”

Enoch tried to summon his escort, but it was a meaningless attempt. His throat was pressed so his voice barely came out. Moreover, because Enoch’s body was covered by a pillar, people could not see what happened between them.

Sigren bowed his head and spoke in a low tone in Enoch’s ear. “I give a warning…”

“….”

“I have no interest of your position or even emperor…”

“Uh..uh….”

“Because there’s only one thing I want in this world….”

A cold voice rang in Enoch ear.

“However, if someone ever tried to touch her…”

It was getting harder for Enoch to breathe.

“Whoever that person…what kind of position that person had…”

Sigren whispered slowly.

“I’m going to kill that person in the most painful way, brother.”

Then Sigren released his hand that was holding Enoch by the collar.

“GASP!” Enoch leaned against the pillar for a second before sliding down, trying to take oxygen as much as he could.

Sigren looked down at him expressionlessly.

“How, how dare you do this to me, you crazy bastard….!” Enoch looked at Sigren as if he wanted to kill him while exhaling.

“One day, I will surely hang your lowly head on the wall!” Enoch was shrieking abuse at Sigren.

Sigren raised one corner of his mouth and smirked at Enoch with a cynical sneer. “I look forward to it, brother.”
