Chapter 31.1

entering the vip room with only 5,000 won, the man politely greeted me and walked away, then soon brought in adrian.

“since this is a valuable customer, you will serve her properly, okay?”

frightened by the man’s threat, adrian started crawling toward me with a shiver. i sighed at the sight of the crown prince crawling on all floors like an animal.

you have cleared the quest.

as soon as the man crawled up, without even confirming with my own eyes if it was truly adrian, the notification flashed that the quest was cleared.

i skimmed through the system window and looked back at adrian. he couldn’t even make eye contact with me and was still lying flat on the ground, shaking like a tree in the wind.

“sorry, i’m sorry…”

“what are you sorry about?”

“everything, everything, everything, everything, i’m sorry.”

adrian was apologizing non stop after he hit his head on my knee. pure tears trickled down from his jewel-like red eyes.

“do you happen to know your name?”

“this, name, no, no. i’m sorry…”

he was even sorry he didn’t know his name. i didn’t know what to do with adrian, who cried for me not to hit him. i let out a long sigh – at a glance, i knew his condition wasn’t normal.

‘i think he was either drugged or hypnotized.’

adrian didn’t seem to have any awareness that he was the crown prince of a country. no, i even doubt he knew he was human.

how did he end up like this? i don’t think this kind of episode happened in .

i’ve never targeted adrian before, but i’ve run into him several times when i played. in 10 plays, there wasn’t a single game that adrian wasn’t the crown prince.

as far as i can remember, he was always a little arrogant and full of confidence, typical for royalty.

‘his hair color is different now too.’

perhaps the man who sold adrian to the red-light district dyed his hair, veiling his brilliant blonde hair to a faded gray color. perhaps it was to conceal his true identity.

he wasn’t even recognizable from his original appearance due to his shaggy hair that covered his face.

‘he was famous for being the most handsome character among the male leads, but now i feel bad for him.’

whether he was originally a crown prince or what, it was painful to see a person lose their wits and beg to that extent. watching adrian shivering made my heart ache.

adrian von bernhard – a quest related to the trainer + big dog route occurs.

in the meantime, a notification appeared that a new quest had occurred.

please resolve the insinuation of ‘adrian von bernhard’.

reward for success: morality 10, ‘adrian von bernhard’ likeability 30, crown prince’s token

penalty for failure: death of ‘adrian von bernhard’.

do you want to accept the quest?

yes

no

‘d-d-death?!’

i shuddered at the quest’s description. if i refused the quest, it would automatically be a failure… but death?

aside from not being able to confirm if adrian was edith abina’s true love, was it okay for this target character to die?

‘anyway, i have no choice but to accept this quest.’

when i nodded lightly, a bar similar to curtis’ karma was formed above adrian’s small head.

‘how the hell do i break the insinuation?’

should i remind him that he was actually a crown prince? i looked down at adrian, who glanced at me as he clung to the ground.

“excuse me…”

before i could call out adrian, he jumped from below and approached me.

“wow…”

shaking his frizzy hair in the air like an animal because of the cheap dye, he raised his arms as soon as his butt touched the sofa.

“oh, my.”

then, was he actually touching my breasts?! i shoved him away in shock, but his arms were stronger than i thought because they looked so thin.
