n‘Noel, you’re so stupid.’

nWhat will you do if the protagonist takes the female lead with his natural sweetness?

nRieta shook her head.

nIt was better to keep negative thoughts as far as possible.

nShe’ll try her best, and hope.

nOkay, for the first step, she needs to teach him how to play with snowballs a little more cutely.

n***

n“You know, Noel.”

nRieta walked on the snow and approached him.

n“Your snowball fights are like real wars.”

n

n

nIn romance novels, snowball fights were not this intense. They’re supposed to lead to flutters of the heart.

n“So, why don’t you ease up?”

nHowever, Noel seemed to have no interest in the law of romance novels. Despite anything Rieta said, he just got excited and started throwing snowballs again.

n“Why is it called a snowball fight? Because you throw snowballs! You’re such an idiot, Princess!”

nRieta was fed up with his teasing.

n“You’re the idiot, Noel Mayer!”

nShe couldn’t believe Noel lost his mind and started a snowball war just because of the first snow! No one would want to read such a romance novel!

nIn addition, there was something else that Rieta couldn’t forgive.

n“How dare you declare war on me?!”

nThe cherished son of the Mayer dukedom waged war on a princess who had survived the harsh battlegrounds of the Kingdom of Liz.

nHis actions were trivial, shameless almost.

nRieta picked up a chunk of a snowman she had just made.

nIt was quite heavy, so she squeaked a bit, but she soon succeeded in lifting it over her head.

nHer recent three meals and two snacks didn’t just disappear somewhere.

nRieta heaved the enormous snowball straight at Noel’s head.

nThe snowball exploded, leaving snow all over his head and shoulders, and scattered in the surrounding area.

nRieta smiled at her victory.

nThis time, cold snow was in Noel’s clothes, and Noel couldn’t stand it.

nRieta put aside her “dignity,” laughing heartily for the first time in a while.

nShe didn’t think that he could retaliate.

nBut there was something Rieta didn’t take into account.

nNoel was unexpectedly obsessed with what he wanted.

nAnd what he was obsessed with now was “victory.”

nNoel opened his eyes and started running at Rieta again.

n“It’s a foul to throw it!”

nSurprised, Rieta quickly stepped back, but it was too late.

nHe launched his attack with a flurry of snow.

nThe thin snow in the air made it hard for Rieta to open her eyes.

nIt didn’t hurt, but something was strange.

nWhy was Noel trying so hard?

nSuddenly, Rieta’s neck was chilled as the snow on her skin melted and her body temperature dropped.

n“Ah-choo!”

nWhen Rieta sneezed, Noel’s attack halted. Was it an act of kindness? He had more common sense than she thought…

nThat was what she had thought, but it was a misunderstanding.

n“Ah-choo!”

nNoel sneezed as well.

nThe snow from earlier had melted into their clothes.

nAnd once again, the two sneezed loudly at once.

n“……”

n“…..”

nWasn’t this the precursor to a cold? She didn’t want one.

nThere were many reasons why it was bad to catch a cold. First of all, cold medicine was terrible. It tasted like illness.

nPlus, if either of them caught a cold, they wouldn’t be able to play anymore.

nThus, Rieta and Noel signed a silent treaty and turned gazes.

nAfter shaking off some of the snow, they ran to the mansion without a competition.

nAh, it was so cold. They shivered in unison.

n******

nThe two changed their clothes and wrapped themselves in a blanket.

nAfterwards, they sat side by side in front of the fireplace in the family room to warm themselves up.

nEven in peace, Noel was obsessed with the outcome of the snowball fight.

n

n

n“I won, didn’t I?”

n“Is it that important?”

n“To me.”

nRieta nodded roughly because she didn’t want to argue about such a childish matter.

nIt was weird sometimes how obsessed he was.

nSoon, the maid came and handed them cups of warm chocolate.

nThere were two marshmallows each for both Noel, the winner of the fight, and Rieta.

nSee, winning or losing a snowball fight didn’t matter at all.

nRieta quickly gulped down the chocolate.

nSoon, even places where the heat from the fireplace couldn’t reach warmed up.
