" The screen shows the prince being very disgusted. 

"WOW...! YOUR HIGHNESS, WHERE AREYOU LOOKING?! LOOK AT ME!"

But of course, that didn't happen...

'I've loitered long enough..."

"Oh, sure alright."

The prince doesn't even know my name yet. What happened just now..? It was as if he noticed a weird looking pebble on the street and mumbled "Oh, that's an odd one." "

"Latte, I love you but that was one of the worst examples you could have possibly said."

Cano said in loving asperation.

" 'well... that's the life of a side character.'

With the prince finally gone, I continued to the library.

"I wonder if Ibelin will be here."

Latte says as she immediately runs into Ibelin.

"OH! We meet here of all places!"

"Oh my, Latte."

'Ibelin runs into me so often she could think that I'm a stalker. Yet she probably doesn't even suspect a thing. hehe.' "

'I- I don't know.... how to feel about this?' Ibelin thought rethinking her life decisions. 

" 'Well, she meets those three fish almost everyday wherever she goes. So it's not weird for me to join the school of fishes!' Latte as a fish and the other male leads as fishes "

"God."

"Please."

"No."

"..."

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"

" "I really wanted to meet you, since I had something to tell you."

"Oh? What is it?"

Latte becomes very fidgety *Que Latte being a great wingman.

"Well, I thought about it... and I think Duke Kenneth is kind of a nice person.  He helped us while he was on patrol, and he is rather fetching... Anyway, he's praiseworthy since he's always working so hard for his country."

"That's right." "

'Did... did she just help me..?' Kenneth thought rethinking his internal angst against Latte.

" 'As if THAT'S right AT ALL...!' I did say all those things.. BUT UGH! This is annoying. "

'Never mind.'

" Well, Kenneth always appears when Ibelin is in trouble and saves her. She probably thinks of him as the quiet knight number 3. 'Now that I think about it, perhaps I should rank them in order depending on how many times they save her.'

"Oh, and Latte? I think we're lost."

"HUH?!"

"Where are we? ...."

Ibelin stops and stares at Latte with pleading eyes.

"WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME? I DON'T KNOW EITHER!"

A small frame of Ibelin and Latte standing around with music playing in the background. 'I'm JuSt A lItTlE gIrL lOsT iN tHe MoMeNt~ I dOn'T kNoW wHeRe To Go. CaN't Do It AlOnE i'Ve TrIeD aNd I dOn'T kNoW wHy~'

'...Wait, getting lost in the palace...?'

"Oh...?! Your highness?"

Latte is shown rustling  in the background  prepping a bag of popcorn.

"...Ibelin?'

'I knew it. Time for some popcorn.'

"What were you doing here?"

"I got lost and..."

*Que Latte being a terrible wingman 

"THIS POPCORN IS SO GOOD WOW."

"Haha~ I really can't take my eyes off of you fro a minute."

"Forgive me..."

MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH

"I wasn't trying to blame you."

"Oh, they're still crunchy. I guess it's alright to keep them in a bag for this long."

"Ibelin, you always make me worry about you."

"Why would you..."

"Hmm, I wonder why."

'I'm already bored with the cheese flavor. It might be a good idea to add some spice and make a spicy cheese flavor.'

"Anyway, let me show you the way. But this is a debt you can pay me back... Later after I think about the payment."

Rondemio and Ibelin start walking away.

'Anyway, looks like the prince is the most aggressive among the three.' contemplating while being ignored. 'This handsome man is putting the moves on her, yet there isn't a hint of blushing on Ibelin's snow white face.' "

"Glad to see how prosperous your love life is going dear brother! （*＾-＾*）"

Rosaline said beaming as Rondemio rolled his eyes.

" 'Hmm. I guess I should try talking to the prince.' "

"Please don't"

Rondemio said in physical and emotional pain.

" "Umm, your highness? I'm here, too."

Rondemio physically flinches.

"...I'm aware."

"..."

'Don't lie.'

"Oh, okay."

The prince suggested Ibelin eat with him in return for the favor, and he'll probably use that as a n excuse to go on a date, he's doing pretty well, isn't he? Kenneth and Arwin need to step up their game. Well they'll get their chance to meet her. I didn't really want to interfere with their meal so I left the palace with Bishot. A bunny than appears. 'Oh gosh. There are still rabbits here... This is more like a rabbit farm, not a palace...'

"Umm, lady Latte. About that snack you shared with me before."

"Oh, there's more at home, and other flavors, too."

"R-Really?"

"Yes, should I call for a carriage?"

"No! I'll use teleport."

'HuH? He offered to use teleport first...?'  "

Bishot is shown offended as Arwin looks mad.

'Is it that strange for me to not offer to teleport first?'

'Is it that strange for him to not offer to teleport first.'

Bishot and Arwin thought with very different temperaments to this situation.

"  'I knew it. What am I expecting from this limpy magician?' "

" ('。＿。｀) "

'Does she really think I'm limpy...?'

" "Bishot!"

"...?"

"You worked hard. I got all the different flavors, so have as much as you want."

Latte is shown with 5 bags of popcorn. Now Bishot is smiling and full of energy.

"You're so easy to tell..."

A week went by... And during that time, I met Arwin once and Kenneth two freaking times! Of course Ibelin was always the one in the spotlight. I just watched from the side. "

"What happened to my screen time?"

Arwin asked perplexed.

"Why do we have to watch the little masochist, but when I, the most interesting character is introduced to the main characters get chalked up to 'I met Arwin once.'"

Kenneth sat there nodding along, but not saying anything because he has recently been shown on screen and was recently hyped up by Latte.

" It seemed like the prince tried his best to notice me even while talking with Ibelin. But it was pitiful to see him surprised by me after occasionally forgetting I was there. And now Kenneth doesn't frown when he sees me. That's a big improvement isn't it? And last but not least, Arwin surprisingly... "

"Finally I'm on screen!"

" Even with Ibelin present... He talked to me! "

"And I'm gone. "

"To be continued..."
