However, Hunter didn’t do anything particularly perverted. He didn’t give a single hint that he had glimpsed at my ass and instead had the knights take Woofu away. He continued walking as if nothing had happened.
He didn’t try to walk awkwardly to hide his erection nor did he mention he had fallen at all. But that wasn’t the real problem.
[Hunter Mellian’s favorability +1!]
“Why are you like this?”
[Hunter Mellian’s favorability +1!]
“It’s nothing, really.”
“Are you hurt by chance?”
“No.”
[Hunter Mellian’s favorability +1!]
Every time I made eye contact with him, his favorability skyrocketed. I had never seen the shape of my butt in detail, but judging by Hunter’s reaction, my buttocks must be undeniably attractive! Otherwise, how could his favorability keep rising after glimpsing at my buttocks?
Well, it made sense. After all, I was the player in this adult game. To attract five male protagonists, my face and body had to be attractive. Fuck…
I deliberately walked a couple of steps behind Hunter, while making sure to cover my buttocks with both hands.
Hunter had a puzzled look on his face but matched his pace to mine. He accompanied me to my room and, with his characteristic nonchalant expression, said, “Starting tomorrow, you’ll have additional official engagements as my fiancée. The schedule will be sent through your aide.”
[Hunter Mellian’s favorability +1!]
He was truly a guy whose face and inner thoughts didn’t match.
It was a good thing his favorability was rising, but it felt uncomfortable because it seemed to be triggered by my buttocks. My favorability with Hunter had already reached 27, the highest among all the male leads in the game.
I quickly greeted him and entered my room. While Hunter was the safest among the male leads in the game, I reminded myself to be cautious since the game was rated 19+.
And indeed, my caution and concern were justified. The next morning, while I was taking a bath, I received an unexpected announcement.
“Your Highness, the Crown Prince, has arrived.”
It was an inappropriate visit announcement to hear while lying in the bathtub soaking, not in a suitable state for a visitor.
“T-Tell him to wait outside!”
I hastily dried myself, changed into the clothes prepared by the chambermaid, and went out of the bathroom. There, I found Hunter sitting on the sofa in my room with a calm posture.
Hunter stood up as I entered, and his gaze swept over my wet hair, fair face, and still-dripping neckline.
[Hunter Mellian’s favorability +1!]
“In three days, there will be a birthday party for the 1st Princess.”
Regardless of the increasing favorability, Hunter’s face was as stoic as ever.
“As my partner, you need to get ready quickly.”
“Well… Didn’t you say the schedule would be conveyed through the aide?”
When I pointed that out, Hunter’s eyebrows twitched. He slowly approached me. Strangely, the closer he got, the stronger the fragrance of my favorite perfume emanated from my body. It made me feel a bit uneasy, thinking that Hunter would also smell this fragrance.
And sure enough, just as his expression remained unchanged, ding-dong notifications sounded.
[Hunter Elian’s favorability +1!]
[Hunter Mellian’s favorability +1!]
[Hunter Mellian’s favorability is now 30 or higher, triggering the ‘Air of Love’ event!]
What is this now?
I was taken aback, and that’s when the notifications came. Suddenly, Hunter’s face turned red.
“It’s a bit… It feels warmer around here.”
As he spoke, he inserted his fingers into the collar of his robe and pulled it forward. The violet irises seemed to lose focus, and the muscles around his mouth relaxed.
“Crown… Prince?”
“Hmm…”
Hunter turned his neck, making a cracking sound and exhaled harshly as if holding something back. Every time he turned his neck, his bones crackled.
“You smell good.”
Hunter muttered.
<Good. Smell.>
His tongue spat out Thetian as if it were sliding. His violet eyes looked strangely misty. I tensed up, swallowed nervously, and quickly moved away. It was crucial to avoid getting trapped between the wall and Hunter, as it could lead to an awkward situation.
“Your Highness, please come to your senses. That’s just a trick by the system!”
“System…?”
Hunter echoed my words with a blurred voice.
“You seem really proficient in foreign languages.”
He smiled faintly. Seeing a handsome guy smiling was visually pleasing, but mentally, I felt extremely scared and worried.
“I want to smell your body closer.”
“This isn’t body odor. Is there anyone who has such a good body odor? It’s because I just took a shower.”
Then, a blue window popped up.
[Player’s privilege!Even if you don’t wash it, you always smell like fragrant daffodils^^ It’s icing on the cake right?]
I don’t need that!
However, I knew exactly why Hunter was letting loose like that. By default, the scent of daffodil is like fragrance oil or perhaps even fabric softener. So the scent of a human fabric softener. Its probably feels refreshing to be smelling fresh laundry
Hunter lowered his head and approached me. He buried his nose in my neck and took a deep breath. Goosebumps ran down my spine to the back and my neck.
“Your Highness, just a moment…!”
“…Del Narcissus.”
“Just a moment. Let me…”
“Hah…”
Hunter subtly brushed against my lower body. He didn’t seem fully aroused yet, but it was undoubtedly a provocative move. I hastily pushed his chest away, feeling flustered. However, Hunter didn’t react at all, his body was unnaturally strong and robust.
“This… this… ugh!”
In the end, I exploded and yelled out. Hunter was startled and pulled his face away to look at me. With a flushed face,I scolded him.
“I hate people like you! What? Sticking your nose into a grown man’s neck! Huh? This, this person…!”
“…Del Narcissus?”
I put both my hands on my waist and puffed out my chest to make my body bigger. Then, I stamped my foot.
“Is this…what they teach you in the palace? Huh? From now on, make sure to keep at least five steps away from me!”
For the first time, Hunter showed a dumbfounded expression at my words.The blurry purple eyes gradually regained focus.
I walked with long strides, with both hands on my hips to the bed. I took the towel from the attendant, who was awkwardly standing there with a towel, and vigorously rubbed my wet hair.
Damn game filter! The male lead is raising favorability by looking at wet hair! Ugh!
I put more force into the hand rubbing my hair. Seeing me like this, Hunter, who was looking at me, walked over slowly.
“You might pull all your hair out like that.”
He gently took the towel from my hand and absorbed the moisture at the ends of my hair.
“Just now… I don’t even know why I did that. I’m sorry. It felt like I was possessed by something.”
His subdued voice rhythmically pierced into my ears. I clenched my teeth and glared at Hunter from behind the towel.
I know why you did that. It’s because of the ‘Air of Love’ event…
“Perhaps the warmth from your bathwater affected me. Can you forgive me just this once?”
The towel was lifted from above my head. As soon as our eyes met, Hunter furrowed his brows abruptly.
[Hunter Mellion’s favorability has increased by +1!]
With the notification, he covered my head with the towel again.
“Your hair seems almost dry. Finish getting ready and meet me outside the room. I’ll be waiting.”
Hunter swiftly spoke and turned away. I could see his feet moving from under the towel
***
Hunter felt a bit strange these days. He stood in front of Del’s room, contemplating his recent actions.
Del, coming out of the bath with his hair still damp, looked unusually pretty. Since Del had fixed Woofu and made his mother laugh, he had started to feel attached and grateful. However, since the unexpected incident with Del yesterday, he felt ashamed and embarrassed.
Hunter had never liked anyone before. He didn’t have time for that. In order to be recognized by the emperor, who consistently ignored and kept his distance from him, to please the empress suffering from depression and to ward off those who seek his position as the Crown Prince.
He had always been calm and indifferent. No matter how exceptional a beauty he saw, it didn’t stir any excitement in him. It was the same when he first saw Del Narcissus. He could recognize the distinction between beauty and knew that he was undoubtedly a beautiful man from a prestigious family, but there was no love at first sight or fairy-tale-like heart-pounding moment.
Hunter absentmindedly played with his cuff button. At that moment, the door opened, and Del came out. His towel-dried hair, now appeared to have been neatly combed back with some oil.
Yes, there was definitely no fairy-tale-like moment.
“Don’t forget to keep a distance of at least five steps.”
With his wary eyes, I could see Del’s cute little lips posing a threat. Hunter swallowed a sign with an expressionless face.
What on earth happened to me?
However, Hunter didn’t do anything particularly perverted. He didn’t give a single hint that he had glimpsed at my ass and instead had the knights take Woofu away. He continued walking as if nothing had happened.
