What Happens When the Second Male Lead Powers Up

ted for the carriage to slow down.

The Legault district, which was at the center of the Imperial Capital and the largest district, has so many people that it was one of the first places in the Empire to get a portal.

The plan was to use the Legault portal to travel to the southern part of the Imperial Capital and take carriages from there.

“I believe that we have arrived.”

“Already?”

“It is because the roads were cleared for his royal highness.”

‘Is that it?

Is it similar to how the light is always green and the Gwanghwamun is clear whenever the president is headed out?’

“Your highness, people may try to talk to you once you get off the carriage.
You don't need to respond to all of them.”

“I heard that his Royal Highness does not say anything at all.”

‘That bastard is always like that.’

I barely held myself back from saying that out loud and simply smiled.

People were still bowing extremely respectfully as our carriages passed.

The Imperial carriages soon stopped in a single file line outside a sparkling building.

It wasn’t as luxurious as the Imperial Palace, but I could tell that it was a building that not anybody could enter.

– Knock knock.

The coachman knocked on the door before it soon opened.

I checked my outfit one last time.

I also didn't forget to ask Ganael and Benjamin if there were any marks on my forehead from pushing up against the window earlier.

I didn’t like crowded places or having a lot of people looking at me, but it was time for me to get off.

*

I'll start with the conclusion.

The Legault Central Commerce Center was similar to the Korean Coex.

I worked very hard not to look scared.

Demy was still sleeping in my arms without a care in the world.
I was jealous of him.

“Your highness, please only look forward as you walk.”

“I will, Benjamin.”

The entire building was full of different shops and the path was as complicated as a maze.
The lobby was connected to the portal entrance and the building would be full of spectators whenever celebrities came by.

It really was the same as Coex.
For example, like what is going on right now.

“Long live his Royal Highness!”

“We greet his Royal Highness, Imperial Prince Cédric, the future sun of the Empire!”

“Three cheers for his Royal Highness!”

“Please be victorious!”

This was the first time since my transmigration that I was happy to have Imperial Prince Cédric with me.

“He’s so popular.”

“Yes, his Royal Highness has gone out many times to clear demonic beasts.”

Ganael was like a ghost and heard my quiet mumbling before he responded to me.

I nodded my head without making it seem obvious before peeking toward the Imperial Prince walking in front of me.

Vice Captain Élisabeth was clearing the way next to him, without her usual smile on her face.

The Imperial Guard members were creating a barrier between the people and us.

The people who were split like the Red Sea were packed like sardines in the Commerce Center lobby going wild.

I was able to be away from the spotlight a bit thanks to the overwhelming attention on the Imperial Prince.

“Your Royal Highness!”

“I can die without any regrets now……”

I saw many women tearing up while looking at him as well.

I wondered what was making them so emotional, but it was understandable considering the Imperial Prince's face.

There were people placing flowers by his feet as well.

‘The vendors selling flowers on the streets must have been aiming for this.’

“An ad celebrating his Royal Highness’s birthday goes up in the waiting room every year.”

“Hmm?”

I questioned my ears and thought I misheard because I was paying too much attention to everything else.

“Although he does not have much activities outside, his Royal Highness is loved very much.”

Ganael explained with excitement.
I couldn’t help but ask because I was anxious.

‘Is this a modern fantasy genre?’

“Well…
Do they put something like, ‘you are our star?’”

“Come on, your highness.
How would they dare to put something like that? ‘The miracle of August 13th, his Royal Highness is our star.’ That is what they put.”

My facial muscles were no longer listening to me.

I didn't know whether to be more shocked about the TMI pouring in or that a birthday advertisement suddenly popped up in a classical Romfan.

‘This really is Coex.’

“Thank you for your mercy, Prince Jesse!”

I heard a man’s voice at that moment.

I turned toward the source of the noise out of reflex.

A middle-aged man who seemed to have worn the best clothes he owns was tearing up while looking at me.

It was difficult to ignore someone like that.

“Mister, what do you mean by mercy?”

I walked near him and asked.
The whispers nearby spread like a crashing wave.

I smiled bitterly after sensing the gazes cautiously looking at my eyes.

I could hear the whispers about how they really were purple.

“I, I heard that you sent a large sum of money to Baron Bellang, your highness.
Many good things happened in our territory thanks to your generosity.
We started construction on a canal and the territory Lord-nim is also building a large orphanage.
I, it is all thanks to your benevolence, your highness.”

The man quickly answered with a grateful look on his face.

It was hard to understand because his voice was shaky, but he was talking about how I sent money to the parents of the dead twins.

He must be a resident of Baron Bellang’s territory.

“No, that is the benevolence of the Baron couple.
I simply helped them with the funeral fees.”

The man bowed deeply after my comment.

“P, please eternally receive the blessing of the Almighty God.”

“Thank you very much.
Please get home safely.”

I said goodbye to him and started walking again.

I looked forward to see that the Imperial Prince was observing me after having quickly cut through the lobby to arrive in front of the portal.

‘Of course he moved quickly since he ignored all these people who had been waiting since dawn to say something to him.’

His gaze seemed to be saying that I was slowing things down again.

“I'm coming, I'm coming.”

I mumbled to myself.

Trying to walk briskly without looking as if I was hurrying made it feel as if my arms and legs would move awkwardly.

I finally realized that about a third of the flowers on the ground were purple.

I looked around thinking it was not likely and noticed that there were passionate gazes directed at me.

I felt my ears instantly get hot.
‘Wow, it would probably have been better not to know.’

“I will open the door now, your Royal Highness.”

I awkwardly walked up to the portal entrance and a person who looked like an employee respectfully guided me.

The Imperial Prince flicked his chin once to respond.

– Crrrrr…….

The large copper door slowly opened to both sides.

Nobody had used the portal all morning as per the Imperial Decree.

The empty area was similar to the underground portal of the Empress Palace in many ways.

The room was round and there was a fancy magic formation on the ground.

“Ah, you’re finally here.
Hello your Royal Highness and Prince Jesse.”

Christelle de Sarnez was already in there with a whip in her hand.

‘……Hmm?’
