I Became The Childhood Friend of the Obsessive Second Male Lead - Chapter 249

unedited

“For now, just stay here. I’ll come pick you up after the play.”

“I was thinking of leaving during the play.”

“What? Aren’t you watching the play? If that’s not the case, why the hell did you come here?”

“Well, I had something to give Everett.”

Noel immediately glared at Everett.

He gently lifted the necklace that was sitting near his neck and shook it.

Like telling him that Rieta’s business was this.

“Naughty girl.”

Noel grumbled and slammed his forehead on Rieta’s. It hurts a little.

“. . . You’re misleading people.”

Perhaps he thought that Rieta had secretly come because she wanted to see the play.

“Well, I did want to see the play, too.”

Rieta smiled.

She wasn’t lying.

If she could see how funnily Noel acted, she would be able to make fun of him for the next five years.

“I thought it would be a little dangerous to see that though.”

“I’m surprised you know the meaning of ‘dangerous.’”

Noel grabbed Rieta by the waist and set her back in the cabinet.

And he sat down in front of Rieta with a reluctant face.

“Noel, hey. Are you angry?”

“Wouldn’t you be angry if I was like you?”

Rieta tried to emphasize.

If Noel kept entering the forbidden places of the kingdom of Liz, Rieta would probably be angry.

Because she didn’t want him to be in danger.

“I would be very angry.”

“Right?”

When Rieta nodded, he cupped her cheeks with both hands.

Again, muttering, ‘Naughty girl.’

“There isn’t a day where you don’t make me worry, really.”

For a moment, Rieta thought it wasn’t that much, but she couldn’t refute it at all at this point.

“Stop thinking about yourself and let me live.”

“It will happen soon.”

“Looking at you, will that happen?!”

“. . .”

She couldn’t resist.

She felt that it was a bit unfair because she seemed to be constantly being nagged by Noel.

“You’re pouting again, pouting!”

“I am not pouting.”

“Would I not know? How many years have we lived together? Oh really, this . . .”

He messed up his hair, which had been carefully styled.

“Hey, don’t mess it up, idiot.”

Rieta quickly stretched out her arm and straightened Noel’s hair again.

She took care of each and every one of the slightly flowing locks of hair.

Come to think of it, Noel was wearing a stage costume.

The clothing was decorated so splendidly that one would believe he belonged to the Imperial Knights.

“Um, good. You’re cool again.”

Rieta finished his hair, and smiled.

“. . .”

Although Noel looked at Rieta with an expression face, it seemed that he did not hate being complimented on how cool he was.

He didn’t scold her at all.

“Looking at it like this, you look like the real male lead.”

“I’m not like the male lead, I am the real male lead.”

He tapped Rieta on the forehead and immediately glared at Hugh McLean.

“When the curtain rises, everyone will be focused on the stage for a while. You’d better leave then.”

“Yes, we will. Please leave it to me. We will get out safely.”

Despite Hugh’s courageous reply, Noel’s expression was still not good.

He seemed deeply concerned about something.

“Hugh McLean.”

“Yes?”

“Remember to act like a gentleman. Because Rieta isn’t your friend, she’s a foreign Princess.”

Rieta was a little taken aback by that request.

She always wanted to ask if it was Noel who had forgotten that Rieta was a Princess.

. . . Well, in her current situation, she couldn’t really ask such a question.

Soon they heard the people outside were looking for Noel and Everett again.

“Good luck.”

After a short cheer, she finally smiled.

“Don’t say anything, just wait quietly at the mansion.”

And Noel immediately changed his expression.

A pretty serious expression, maybe another side of Noel that Rieta hadn’t met.

He held out his hand to Everett, respectfully.

Everett gracefully took his hand and stood up.

Somehow, the two of them looked good together.

From outside came a louder noise than before.

Noel opened the door.

Everett lifted the necklace one last time and presented it to Rieta.

It would be to express his gratitude again.

Rieta gave him a bright smile.

The play soon began.
