Not Your Perfect Prince
Suspectable

"MEOW!"

Reinhart who had a flat expression looked towards a fat British Short Hair cat with grey fur and blue eyes. The creature sat on the table, looking at him with a naive and innocent look.

Seeing the cat trying to be cute in front of him, Reinhart felt somewhat confused. Flashing, he turned his gaze towards Vanessa who was sitting across the table.

"Vanessa .. is this?" reinhart asked in a somewhat confused tone.

"Name's Tom!"

"..."

"I saw your mood was a bit bad, so I brought Tom along."

Vanessa reached out her hand, rubbing the feathers on the fat gray cat.

"Try .. Your mood will definitely get better if you do."

Hearing Vanessa's plain words, Reinhart let out a long sigh. He stroked Tom's head, making the fat cat meow. Seems very happy.

'Why am I doing this kind of thing?'

The question immediately came to Reinhart's mind. Even if for most people it works, for him it is not very useful. After all, he also had a Naberius named Hachiko.

Although not allowed to go with him and must be treated by Professor Elin for reasons of dangerous creatures. (Not allowed to travel by boat, especially for students)

Still is ... Hachiko is her pet.

Reinhart looked at Tom who got up and jumped down from the table. The cat's short legs made him barely land well.

"..."

Looking towards the cat that could barely jump, Reinhart fell silent. It was really new to see a cat so fat it couldn't jump so well.

Tom crawled to Reinhart's feet and rubbed his head against the young man's feet with an affectionate expression.

"Sounds Tom likes you."

Vanessa smiled happily when she saw Tom who was so relaxed near Reinhart.

Reinhart slightly lowered her head to grab Tom with both hands and raised him. A young man and a cat looked at each other.

"MEOW!"

Hearing Tom meowing at him, Reinhart tilted her head without much change in her facial expression.

'Look at yourself .. fat, short-legged, helpless, just eating and sleeping to pass the time. You don't even know how powerless you are compared to the agile and fierce wild cats.

Totally useless.'

Reinhart put Tom on his lap. The young man then poked the fat cat's cheek with his finger.

"MEOW!"

"You guys really got along" Vanessa said with a cheerful expression.

"..."

Looking towards the happy Vanessa, Reinhart looked puzzled.

Just then, the door of the lounge opened, the figures of the King and Queen appeared. Looking at the two of them, Reinhart was about to take Tom down and stand up. The King's voice sounded.

"No need to do the honors. We invited you to come relax as a family."

The king said with a smile on his face. She and the Queen then sat down together with Vanessa across the table.

"I'm sorry for my impoliteness" Reinhart said, bowing her head slightly.

"I told you, there's no need to be too formal. Consider it your own home."

"..."

According to what he remembered, he was actually also acting very cold and closed in on the house. Not very familiar with his own family. In the story, even the young man hides the demon problem in him from his own family. Arguably, his current attitude was a little more akin to that of the original Reinhart.

It's just that, if Reinhart in the game is cold to cover up all her weaknesses, she (Reinhart) feels so indifferent to other things that she doesn't consider important.

"Honestly, at first we suspected you might be possessed or something."

The king said in a joking tone. Has a smile on his face. Seeing that Reinhart's expression had not changed much, he continued.

"I called both of your parents. According to them, you are like that when you are at home.

Actually their answer made us feel surprised. After all, you seem more relaxed when you first arrive. If my guess is correct, it is likely that the change occurred when you were in the Starlight Academy.

It's not just me and my wife. I'm sure that both of your parents want you to be happier and have fun."

The king advised Reinhart with a smile on his face. It seemed, since it was already considered a definite Vanessa couple, the two people were really worried.

In one look, that worried look was definitely not a lie.

This moved Reinhart's heart a little. In his previous life, both of his parents had always demanded of him to be the "perfect" child in their eyes.

When he chose to withdraw from the army .. they were really disappointed in him. Directly gave the title "boy boast" to his sister.

Closing his eyes for a moment, Reinhart then said.

"Sorry for making you worry. I'm doing fine.

I thought it was all just a game. I think that by changing myself, I can avoid the fate that I have to face. But in the end .. I still have to face that fate."

"the game? If that means you can have fun, then it is not wrong at all.

You are still young. Don't overload your mind with what adults should think. All you need to think about is studying and having fun at the academy."

"..."

Reinhart was silent. Obviously the King and Queen did not understand what he meant, but the young man felt a little relieved after revealing a little secret that stuck in his heart. Looking towards the three worried people in front of him, the young man nodded lightly.

"thank you. Sorry for making you worry."

Looking towards Reinhart who had a gentle smile on his face, the King felt somewhat relieved. Although his gaze was still rather cold and empty.

"If it wasn't for Tom, we would've thought of you as a cruel and evil young man. Honestly, when we saw how you brought down Prince Zale.

Anyway ... We'll hand Vanessa over to you. We're obviously worried you're treating him badly."

"DAD!!" Vanessa immediately exclaimed in a dissatisfied tone.

The King's words clearly made Reinhart feel somewhat surprised. Only, his expression still did not change. Even he quickly calmed down.

Looking towards the cat that was on his lap, Reinhart muttered.

"Tom?"

"Yes. Although like an ordinary cat that only sells funny faces, Tom is actually a special cat.

Tom's been around since my grandfather's time. Although weak, Tom is a cat with a long life. Most likely never aged.

Tom has a unique. He can tell if someone is good or not. In addition, Tom can also know someone's luck. If a person has good luck, he will love to be around him.

Of course, luck is considered a myth. However, we believe that Tom can indeed distinguish good and bad."

Hearing the King's explanation, Reinhart raised Tom again. Observing the fat cat that was so conspicuous, the young man immediately tried to recall all the information about the game he was playing.

Not finding any information about the "magic cat" Reinhart shook her head.

'Yes .. who cares about it.'

Reinhart stared at Tom with a flat expression, but was soon replaced with a faint smile when the fat cat touched his face with his short legs.
