The Villain Who Robbed the Heroines

I overheard the conversation between the royal princess and the princess.

Ram and Kun are rivals.

It wouldn’t be ideal if the Ram’s princess were to be having fun while Kun’s first warrior is hanging out here.

Well, by this point, he might have returned to the desert.

It’s been quite a while since Geisha left a trace.

“This time, I’m going to flatten that annoying bastard’s nose.”

“Ah, you mean that ‘guy you don’t even want to call by name’?”

“Yeah. Do you know how much ‘guy I don’t want to call by name’ was babbling 3 years ago? He said that Rams would not be able to produce more warriors than the Kun clan, and that not only our quantity was low but also our quality. I was so upset that I rolled day and night for three days.”

“Even though he’s the leader, he surely has a habit of teasing.”

Tsk. The princess clicked her tongue briefly.

I rolled my head* as I chewed the well-roasted fish filet in my mouth for a long time.

*(Think hard or try to remember something.)

Perhaps that relates to Kun Geisha in some way. It would be safe to assume that he and Ram’s princess would have a bad relationship.

‘I’d rather not talk about knowing Kun Geisha.’

This is information that will only earn me a negative zero.

More than that, it was interesting to hear them talk in a runabout way whenever they had to talk about the Kun clan.

Even if they have to die soon, it seems that they will never say the name of that ‘Kun’ with their own mouth.

“By the way, Dioles, didn’t you brag about getting a new pet some time ago?”

“Ah, that.”

At Ram Hertiti’s question, the princess glanced at me and smiled.

“If my predictions are correct, the lovely young lady would have prepared it today.”

“Today?”

“Huh. Am I wrong?”

The princess asked sweetly.

I wanted to nod my head right away, even if I was not ready, but anyway, that was the truth.

Oh my God, everything is on Unnie’s palm.

“My neck is about to fall off from waiting, so stop worrying and just show us.”

Since the princess deliberately laid the board, I couldn’t help but move accordingly.

The other nobles tilted their heads together, not understanding what in the world she was talking about.

“In reality, I had intended to deliver the gift I had promised Her Highness today.”

I wiped my mouth clean with a napkin and stood up.

The time has come to throw in a surprise.

This time, thankfully, I did not pass out after calling the snow leopard pit.

I was cold, but it was bearable because we created a sauna-like environment. And it was called in that room, which felt like it was on fire.

“Come out here.”

It should be here by now because I instructed them to release the snow leopard 30 minutes after I exited the carriage and entered the banquet hall. I raised my head and straightened my back.

Rustling. The sound of leaves rubbing against one another signals that something is approaching.

“Kyaaa!”

“What is that?”

There was a commotion at the table outside where the snow leopard was found. They were briefly alarmed because it was obvious that it was a beast. However, the snow leopard made no attempt to frighten them. He didn’t even give them a glance, to be honest.

The princess was the only thing the bright yellow eyes were focused on.

“Wow.”

Ram Hertiti, who was next to the princess, let out an exclamation.

Graceful body. Large, hefty feet. Thick tail.

It is a leopard with scattered rose-like patterns on a background of pure white that glitters from its head to the end of its tail.

His steps were light from the first one as she gently shook off people’s eyes.

The white child who walked in gracefully stopped right in front of the princess.

I quietly whispered next to the princess.

“This child is very serious, and it’s likely that it won’t speak unless it’s with Her Highness.”

“So she’s a heavy-mouthed child.”

“Yes, Your Highness, please give it a name.”

The snow leopard silently lowered its head and waited for the princess to give her a name.

The princess looked down at the snow leopard and then gently opened her mouth.

It was a different voice than usual.

“I already have a name for you.”

A much softer tone than when she’s dealing with humans is directed toward the snow leopard.

“Precious*.”

*(The leopard’s name is in English, Precious.)

My precious child. Why does it sound like that to me?

“It means precious.”

After receiving the name, the snow leopard raised its head.

Touch. She let the princess know that she understood by placing her nose on the palm of her hand.

It unmistakably has a different personality than the mischievous and wayward Cat.

The noble name “Precious” really suited her.

“You still don’t know where your room is, so stay here for a while. You must be hungry, so I’ll give you something to eat first.”

It’s as if she’s talking to a person– no, many times more kind than when she’s talking to people.

‘I’m having goosebumps.’

‘Oh my God, the princess is acting so kindly?’

Look at those noblewomen who only behave in such a manner when the princess is not present. Anyway, it seemed that the princess was kind only to those whom she wanted to treat kindly.

Of course, since I was in a position to receive her kindness, I did not know what kind of attitude the princess showed in other places.

“I really like it.”

“I’m happy that Your Highness is happy. Please treat her well.”

“Of course. I’ve already prepared a room for that child. I ordered all ten walls on the first floor of the princess’s palace to be torn down. Additionally, since it’s connected to the courtyard, steps have also been taken so he can go out there comfortably.”

Oh, sure enough, the life of the rich family’s snow leopard is better than mine. The princess appeared a little giddy. Ram Hertiti poked the side of the princess with her elbow.

“I feel a little jealous.”

“Oh my, but the desert also has a lot of interesting animals.” 

“But there are none like that.”

“Of course. That’s a snow leopard, they live in cold places.”

The princess was very determined. Then, as if to arouse even more envy, she continued.

“We will hire separate wizards to lower the temperature in the child’s room. I deliberately replaced all the floors with new marble, so the snow will pile up in the room to make it look like its original environment.”

“Ha, I envy you… and to think you even boast having many wizards.”
