[DISCONTINUED] I was reincarnated in The Abandoned Empress as a minor character

.26. Pure Insults

*flip

The wind blew gently through my hair as i read my book, turning page after page.

No one is free to play with me at home so i decided to spend my time reading romance novels, should i mention the part where i've been desperately craving some yaoi lately?

"Ha..."

*shut

I closed the book and landed it on the table i've been sitting on, ever since that incident with Zena, i kept spending time in the imperial library day after day to get rid of my boredom,

*drop

I quickly looked in the direction of the emergent sound, a book laying on the ground,

could it have fallen on it's own?

I looked at my surroundings, left and right, no sign of life or sound could be heard or seen.

"..."

I squinted my eyes worriedly, raising from my seat to the majestic book laying on the floor

TITTLE: Here when you're ready

I reluctantly picked up the book and glanced at the first pages for a clue

to say i was dazed or shocked would be a lie, i was beyond that

yaoi!

I looked at the book shelf where the book fell and caught a bright green color, in the space left by the book, i caught an eye, then it fled.

I ran behind the shelf only to catch a glance of the end of a dress and a shoe, the rest hidden by the wooden mantelshelf,

"Wait!"

I ran after the figure, not sure if that was the best reflex that came to mind.

In the large hallways, i lost the physique, the only thing left was a blue ribbon. I can only be sure it's a girl.

Once again i looked at the book in my left hand picking up the blue ribbon on the floor,

"Excuse me, do you perhaps need anything?"

The cataloger's voice called me out of my wooze, looking at her with a smile, i stated

"who was the lady with green eyes and a blue ribbon decorated dress"

"Pardon?"

"I greet his highness the crown prince sole sun of the empire"

It was just now that i realized, even though you were a minor character, you had to say this phrase a lot while breaking your back at the same time,

"you may rise, i hope to have a wonderful conversation with Lady Castillo"

Seriously this emperor doesn't want me to rest! sending me off to a boat ride with his son, i have more important things to care about,

Ruvellis extended his hand to escort me to my seat in the boat,

I could've refused but, there are too many eyes around,

"...thank you, your highness..."

The boat was moving slowly, allowing the soft breeze to caress our hair, i was dressed in a yellow dress with a dark shade of pink, chosen by Lila herself,

"..."

I had no specific idea in mind so i let her choose instead,

"You don't want to be crown princess"

"!"

this isn't going the way i thought it would, 

"...how did his highness hear of this, if i may ask"

spill the tea!

"The Emperor who else?"

ah! did i forget he's the Emperor's child whom i had boldly rejected his son in public?

"...that is so"

i answered honestly, never leaving his squinting gaze

"And why is that"

"Pardon?"

do i have to explain myself to you? 

"I heard that Duke Verita's second son has been visiting quite often"

i clenched my fist, my gaze shifting to a neutral one

"Yes he is of good acquaintance and i feel like we can discuss things"

"Was he the one you also discussed the matters of the empire with? did you and him foresee the Civil war together"

He's jealous, of course for someone who has never received any appraisal from his own father will get hyped when he hears him compliment someone else in his stead,

But it doesn't give you the right to be so arrogant.

"I should take that as a compliment"

Maybe that wasn't the best move to make,

"A compliment? Lady Castillo you think you are so wise just because you stopped a Civil war that it gives you right to be so full of yourself!?"

"Full of myself? isn't his highness the one who failed to notice about this in the first place?"

it seems I'm going overboard.

"Isn't his highness the one who's meddling the empire's political matters with his personal feelings proving to be unfit?"

But i don't care at this extent!

"!"

so 

"I might as well tell you this since no one else will your highness, it's okay to be all prideful about yourself since you expect everyone to respect you and hang around your little finger but, just because you're the crown prince doesn't mean you are good at everything! and this just proves it!"

"!"

"What i do concers you in no matter, Your pride is bigger than the generations! and just because you're born royalty you think you're better than everyone? I pity the people under you in the future, you disgust me"

I wish i could've stepped on his shoe when i took my leave but i was afraid of drowning since i didn't know how to swim.

I had enough emotions for today. Upon reaching home, i went straight to my room and plopped myself onto the bed

"..."

my eyes reached a certain blue color,

"blue ribbon"

i buried my face, hiding it in my pillow.

I think,  i...fucked up big.
