The Northern Grand Duke's Hamster|북 부대공의 햄스터 (English Translation/Unofficial)

Chapter 17

In fact the owner of the flower has been decided from the beginning, so there was no need to deliberate. I’ll give it to you, okay? Since you helped me attend the banquet as exchange for it. After all I’m a law-abiding citizen of Korea, I don’t break my promises.

“Here, Your Highness.”

The entrance fee for this banquet.

I gave Belial the white flower with a bitter face. Still, he is indeed a prince, if he didn’t get a single flower, it would be quite embarrassing.

“I’m giving it to you as I promised.”

Belial glanced at me with soft eyes and smiled slightly with his eyes bent like crescent moons. It seemed like a graceful gaze that would melt anyone who was looked at.

“Thank you.”

Hey, don’t act too moved. Why are you so touched? It’s not like it was a surprise gift.

Belial cut the stem of the flower short and inserted it onbliquely in the front pocket of his coat. I was wondering why despite his flashy clothes, he didn’t wear a corsage, now I see why. This bastard planned this from the start.

“Receiving the symbol of respect from a subject of the Blake estate sure feels quite refreshing.”

Belial turned his head slightly towards Kyle and asked,

“Don’t you think so?”

He seemed to be quite excited to have an opportunity to be condescending. What are you a kid? Are you actually going to brag about a flower?

Kyle on the other hand didn’t that much interested in his gloating and replied bluntly,

“Congratulations.”

It was a tone that didn’t seem congratulatory at all. His red eyes turned to look at me berating my actions.

What? What was I supposed to do? You already have a lot of white flowers from the citizens of the duchy. Look at your basket filled to the brim. So please spare this one flower, okay?

“What are you going to do with that one?”

Kyle pointed towards me, to be exact, he pointed at the red flower sitting in my hand.

I stood still and continued to grasp the red flower, while everyone else was giving it to others, asking for a dance.

Sen said this flower symbolizes love. But I don’t have anyone I ‘love’ right now. Even as the human Bae Soohyun, I had built a Great Wall around me, rejecting any possible affection.

“I’m not giving it to anyone.”

I said flatly.

Why are you asking? I’m not giving it to you. I’m not giving it to others as well. This is mine.

To make matters worse, Belial also anticipated my next actions. Apparently, Sen gave both flowers to him.

I already gave you one, and you still want more? You two brothers have no conscience! Are you toddlers? Stop competing for a flower!

“…..”

I really didn’t want to give it to anyone, but how am I supposed to reject both the grand duke and the prince.

Can’t you guys just pretend not to know? Let’s just skip this, get rid of those competitive gazes. I sighed deeply, then put the stem in my mouth.

I am not giving it away! It’s mine!

“Euf yeu reely weant it, then teuk it.”

(*//he’s biting the flower stem so he can’t talk properly XD )
