Chapter 14.1

Amer, you should never trust men. All men are like monkeys in heat, thinking only dirty thoughts all day long.

Her eldest sister warned Amer of the dangers and propensity for violence of men a countless number of times after Amer went through puberty.

Her sisters opinion was understandable.

It is indeed a biological fact that men have a higher sex drive than women, and considering what happened in the past between her sister and her brother Porcus, it was natural for her sister to stay away from men.

In fact, her older sister continued to thwart her fathers frequent attempts to find a husband for her, while insisting solely on her knightly path.

Amer admired her older sister, who did not stop training herself even after developing skills comparable to the level of the Imperial Five Greats at a very young age.

But she also felt repulsed by her programming.

She was curious about men.

She was curious about the process of dating and marriage.

She wanted to experience the feelings of love.

When her sister was staying in the palace, male nobles were prevented from approaching Amer at various banquets.

However, her older sister was not here right now, having gone on an expedition to subdue the cultists with the Holy Knights.

Also, as if the god had heard her wish, Amer awakened the [Beauty] Attribute that could win over the love of any man.

Amer. You cant fall in love with Park Min-ho.

Her second sister gave her this advice when she left the throne room after having received instructions from her father to flirt with Minho Park.

Park Min-ho is the first man to be friendly with Amer and act on an equal footing.

He is handsome and upright.

He always acts for others and knows how to be considerate of the woman he is with.

Whats more, he had never glanced at Amer in a dirty way.

Since her awakening, the eyes of men when they looked at her changed drastically.

Choi Ji-hoon, whom she met at every executive meeting, was always full of lust, and Jeong Ji-hoo also occasionally scanned her breasts or hips.

However, Park Min-hos eyes had never shown sexual desire.

Amer liked Minho for that.

She didnt not think it was love just yet, but she was certain that she had a crush on him.

It had not been long since they met, but her womans intuition was telling her that if she married him, she would be happy.

Wouldnt my eldest sister have no choice but to acknowledge a man if it is Minho?

Her second sisters advice from after the talk with their father had long been dispelled from her mind.

Its just, one problem that cropped up was that he had a girlfriend who he truly loved.

Seong Ah-young.

She was kind, pretty, and talented.

But shes not my adversary. I will steal Park Min-ho.

To this end, the banquet was used as an opportunity to go on a tangent alone and lead him to an empty room in a corner somewhere.

She then pretended to be drunk and she tripped over her own footing.

Her dress was torn in the process as a bonus.

Today, she would make Minho become aware of the options around him in the form of the young princess called Amer.

As the air that came in through the slightly ajar door flowed through the room and blew out of the window, a familiar scent seeped into Park Min-hos nostrils.

It was a specific scent he had smelled the most after his own familys.

At the same time, his mind instantly became clear and free of lust.

If Amers attribute is specialized in mental interference, Park Min-hos [Light] Attribute strengthens his mental resistance.

The confrontation between the spear of [Beauty] and the shield of [Light] ended with the victory of the man who had just realized that he was shielding himself from oppression.

Park Min-hos rationality, which had become even more pronounced since the smell from earlier, instantly grasped the cause of this situation.

Mi, Minho...?

Im sorry, Amer. This was a mistake. Are you okay? Are you sure you are not hurt?

Yes.

Taking care as best he could to keep their skin from touching each other, he rose slowly.

Amer too, realizing that her ruse had been ruined, got up while chewing on her lips.

Your dress is all torn... Theres a spare dress in the closet. Youd better wear that.

Minho... I was...

I dont know why you did that But, I hope this doesnt happen again.

After that, Park Min-ho left the room without waiting for her response.

This was because it was much more important for him to speak with Ah-young, who would be anxious outside the room, than Amer right now.

Seeing his eyes become colder than earlier, Amer wanted to cry.

***

Phew.

Your Highness, what are you doing?

Hm, no, its nothing, Leah. Thank you for your concern.

Soniel let out a sigh of relief as she swept her radiant blonde hair to the side.

Fortunately, Amer and Park Min-ho did not cross the line.

Just as planned...

The correct course of action had been to inform Seong Ah-young, who was looking for Park Min-ho anyway, in the bathroom.

She wanted to support her sisters first love, but...

Anyway, the ending has already been fixed. For my younger sister, Ms Seong Ah-yeong, and for me too...

If Amer lost her virginity then

For Soniels younger sister, even tougher and more difficult days awaited her.

All Soniel could do was to guide her sister onto the least rocky path to her fated end.

She did not want to recklessly stimulate Heavens desire for exclusivity.

Like that guy is about to...

Her starry eyes landed upon the image of two figures arguing in the middle of the banquet hall.
