I Thought I Was The Main Character

Empress Isabelle, who had been waiting to point out Prince Luciano as the initiator, became perplexed and hardened.

Betty blinked blankly, not knowing that she would be pointed out.

Everyone was surprised by my taunting.

Even if children were bullied, they couldn't confess in a situation where everyone was looking at them.

Tell on to the empress was something unthinkable.

Most people endure being bullied because they are ashamed and embarrassed.

That was a normal child.

I was too upset to keep my mouth shut.

In particular, any child who grew up as a nobleman couldn't speak more openly.

Empress Isabelle also knew that. So in the absence of my guardian, she pressured me with bullying.

'Because isolated children can't make rational judgments.'

She must have intended to manipulate me at my disposal by pretending to be the only adult here.

There was something they didn't know, I wasn't really 9 years old, and I didn't have the pride of being a noble.

"Betty's been bothering me."

I was a wise person who knew how to confidently take advantage of this situation!

Prince Luciano's mysterious gaze pierced my cheek.

"W–when did I ever bother you?"

Betty, who came to her senses late, jumped up and shouted.

"I called you earlier, but you ignored me and left."

"Tha-that!"

Betty glanced at Empress Isabelle.

She just did what she was told, but the situation seemed embarrassing for her.

'You can't hide your feelings because you're still young.'

Only then did Empress Isabelle step up.

"Isn't it perhaps Aesvin's misunderstanding? Could it be that Betty wasn't deliberately trying to ignore Aesvin?"

"I think deliberately ignoring someone is also an act of bullying."

I replied with a sullen look at Betty's frustration.

"Think about it carefully. Betty must not hear what Aesvin said, didn't she?"

"Yes! I didn't mean to ignore you! I didn't hear it!"

Betty quickly took the bait from Empress Isabelle.

"Seeing Betty speaking so truthfully, I think it's true that Aesvin misunderstands."

Empress Isabelle accepted Betty's reasoning.

She tried her best to cover each other.

"Is that so?"

"Of course, Betty couldn't have done that. Think again, Aesvin. Have you ever been bullied by anyone else?"

Empress Isabel still seemed unable to give up her desire to have Prince Luciano as the initiator.

"Someone else?"

"Yes, Someone else other than Betty."

'Do you believe that if you comfort me gently, I'll give me the answer you want?'
