[It’s true that you are hot-tempered and short-tempered, right? Why is telling the truth ignoring you? And I think I did enough?]

“Traitor… . On the topic of traitors!”

Sasha huffed and tried to throw the communicator. However, I couldn’t destroy the only communication device I had, so I barely pressed the reference button.

“Ha. Haha…”

When Sasha, who was wheezing a lot, calmed down, a child’s voice was heard.

[Can’t we just capture the princess and threaten her?]

“Threat…”

The girl who slapped him came to Sasha’s mind. In the first place, the target of revenge was her. The girl who interfered in everything she did, happened to be born into a good family, inherited good looks, and never had her hands dirty, oppressed her with the power of her lineage and family.

“That female wizard, she’s quite strong.”

Sasha gritted her teeth. At that time, I was really scared. After getting beaten up by a 15 year old girl.

[You said you’re 16? Even though he is a genius, he is still human.]

“Is it really possible?”

Sasha asked tentatively.

[Among humans, there are not many people who can be your opponent. And even if…]

Grimoire didn’t say anything. There is no need to answer unless asked.

Even if you are stronger than expected, you just have to sacrifice more souls. There was no loss to him whatsoever.

[If you feel anxious, do you even use sacrifices?]

“…Offering.”

Sasha’s eyes lit up. It was already a familiar method.

*

With the last sound of Sasha’s shouting voice, the communication was cut off.

“…It’s true. He really wanted me to die by the princess’s hands.”

Chloe, with a dejected expression, slumped her shoulders.

“You are amazing too.”

I got up from my seat.

As I slowly turn my head, I see the remains of the chicken she ate.

‘I almost killed two of them by myself.’

[Sorry, nothing was detected.]

It’s so bad that Nazar can’t find it.

It wasn’t something Sasha could do alone.

He’s a helper that even Chloe doesn’t know about.

“Ha… I’m sorry I couldn’t help you.”

Chloe sighed.

I thought it was okay because he spoke well, but he seemed like he was digging a tunnel.

I took out a simple gate.

“It’s a prize.”

“This is… ?”

Chloe blinked her eyes.

“It’s a gate connected to Magma Chicken.”

It was an incredibly touching look. In short, if you use this, you can warp food and eat it at any time.

“Of course, it’s more expensive than going out and eating. Stone and packaging fee…”

“Ugh. Princess. A person who is so kind.”

Chloe held my leg and cried.

“Away.”

“Yes, yes!”

Chloe sat still and smiled.

“Is that your natural personality?”

“That’s it…”

Chloe’s explanation is that she created the character because she was doing an unwanted job as a broadcaster. Bright and cheerful. I think I know roughly what you mean.

‘Does it seem like the character has eroded its original personality?’

Does it matter?

It was really refreshing to make fun of Sasha. I was satisfied just by hearing Sasha’s growl. I felt better thinking that I was starving by now.

“Thank you.”

I grinned. I should tell them to strengthen security around restaurants. It’s unlikely, but if you think about Sasha starving to death.

Not bad?

“Yes? What is it?”

Chloe tilted her head. Perhaps because he looked cute and helped me, he was a really hard person to hate.

Moreover, before.

[Are you satisfied with the gift I gave you?]

When I heard those words, it seemed like my eyes turned bright red. Even though I expected what Sasha would say, hearing it in person was different.

“Hehe, princess, thank you so much for this.”

Seeing him hug a basketball-sized gate and tease it like a cat makes me laugh.

*

Immediately after Marian returned.

“Thank goodness.”

Chloe looked up and her eyes sparkled.

“I wasn’t caught.”

She carefully took out the key and opened the drawer. Inside were several pictures of Marian in black robes.

Chloe checked the photos one by one and organized them evenly. It was a photo taken when Marian was giving a presentation at the Magic Tower.

“As expected, it’s cool.”

Her hands move slowly. One last piece like that. She looked for a long time at the picture of Marian wearing a magnificent laurel wreath and a cloak with many gold embroidery.

“Ah. First of all, I have to go to the owner of the tower.”

Chloe opened the grimoire.

“Can I also become the princess’s vassal?”

Her hand touches the table of contents, as if drawing someone’s name.

[Marian Arjane.]

“Your handwriting is really cute.”

Premium version. Among them, it was the first limited edition with Marian’s handwritten autograph.

“I wonder if I could ask the tower owner…”

Chloe stood up. Her steps were light.

As if a heavy burden had been lifted.

* * *

“Do you really need to do this?”

As I was reading the letter, I paused.

Last sentence.

[I have a story to tell you about the princess’s maid.]

“Lady Viscount Abigail came in person, and…”

Sarah, my aide, said she went to the mansion herself to deliver this letter. I begged him to tell it to me several times.

“He looked very nervous.”

The content of the letter was an invitation to a tea party.

Dozens more letters like this come every month.

As for the maid, I would like to apply to become my maid. Anyone can see that it is such an ordinary thing, and I would have thought so too not long ago.

There are very few people among my people who know that Elaine, not me, is injured.

And they weren’t the ones to reveal it to anyone unless I wanted them to.

“Shasha.”

I chuckled.

“Doing such stupid things.”

Is the date even today?

Normally, it is polite to give notice a few days in advance.

There’s only one person who would do something like this.

I wrote a short reply and handed it to Sarah.

“I will tell you right away.”

“Yes, thank you.”

I must have been using my head for something else. The knights are scary, but I’m not scared, right?

* * *

I sat down in the recommended seat and glanced at the atmosphere.

“Thank you so, so much, Princess Marian, for responding to my sudden invitation.”

“So, you want to be my maid?”

I nodded.

“Oh, no… . I don’t want to be a maid anymore… .”

Lady Abigail trembled with a pale face. It seems like there is some kind of trauma.

‘I expected it, but it was supposed to be a tea party, but no one was there.’

“And, princess, actually… . Wow… .”

The young lady, who was about to say something, clutched her chest. I looked at her as she whimpered as if she couldn’t breathe.

As I lifted my skirt slightly, a jet-black tattoo appeared on my thigh.

‘It’s a curse. Do you even know how to do something like this?’

When I lightly chanted a spell, the curse disappeared.

“Are you okay? Lady?”

“Ah… . This, this.”

She looked at me and her thighs, then burst into tears.

“I’m sorry, thank you, Princess.”

She had worked as a maid at the Marquis of Weir’s residence, and had almost been sexually assaulted by a man under Sasha’s instigation. Fortunately, it stopped just before that, but that alone would have been a terrible memory for the young lady. Why did I have to say that?

“I’m really sorry, princess, but I’m going to join the knights right now…”

Probably for the truth of his words.

“It’s okay.”

I gently touched her hand and entered the glass greenhouse she told me about.

The feeling of something gloomy even in broad daylight tells us that this place is not normal.

But even faster than that, pitch-black sword energy flies out.

“Shasha!”

Sasha smiled seductively at my shout.

“It seems that discipline was lacking. I never thought it would blow up, I thought you would run away with your butt pulled out, but you managed to come?”

“Ha. A person who has ever run away would do this.”

Sasha moved at high speed and kicked me.

“Hey. It’s strong. I guess you built that maid’s barrier too?”

“……You’re attracting people you don’t care about. As expected, being shallow is just like you.”

Sasha grinned as she watched my body being pushed away.

“Still, it looks like the shock itself can’t be completely alleviated?”

“…well?”

You probably don’t know how much I missed you.

*

Sasha grinned when she saw Marian staring blankly into space.

It’s refreshing, even though it’s on the barrier, the frowning face when you kick it. It definitely took a toll. He himself hit the princess. full of energy.

‘No matter how much the princess is, I guess she didn’t expect this situation right now, right?’

How much trouble I’ve been in because of that bitch. Through Yuri, the power and promised future that will naturally be gained when the imperial family collapses. But the plan didn’t even get off the ground. A woman of good pedigree who always got the attention that Yuri deserved with her nonchalant face.

When Abigail betrayed me, I thought things had gone wrong, but it was a mistake to regard the girl who cried out for chastity as the same woman. Next time, I’ll break through without forgiveness.

Again and again.

Sasha walked confidently and approached Marian.

Sasha’s gaze at Marian was like looking at a mouse caught in her hand.

“Better not expect a driver to help you.”

This barrier was a barrier where all the occupants of the mansion were sacrificed. It’s a barrier that interferes with space, strengthening Shasha’s power and weakening the enemy’s power, so you won’t be able to enter from outside!

No matter how genius he was, he even sold his soul for a grimoire. ‘I can’t believe a princess’s life could end here!’ It was a profitable business.

It won’t be easy to kill. If you cry out in endless despair that it would be better to die, please kill me, please kill me, then you should think about it.

“You’re not running away, so you’re still fearless? Have you not figured out the situation yet?”

I wanted to laugh at her when I saw her running away, twitching her butt like that maid.

Looking at the way he is still leisurely looking around, there are some parts that seem a little unclear. If Abigail had run away when she betrayed him and brought the knights with her, no matter how much he had prepared, he would have had no choice but to run away.

Why is that weak girl?

No, you probably didn’t know that.

It’s already too late. As long as you come here, you can run away.

“Why am I running away?”

Marian asked with wide eyes.

“I’ve been looking for where you’ve been hiding, but you’ve been hiding by not showing a single hair and even changing your hair color, and now you’re making such a big deal?”

Marian chuckled.

“Oh, you know what? I even gave a bonus and paid vacation to the subordinate who stabbed you in the stomach with a knife!”

match. The sight of them clapping their hands and talking happily was enough to irritate Sasha.

“How long have I really waited!”

But before Sasha could protest, Marian smiled brightly.

The expression on his face was like that of a child receiving a highly anticipated gift.

what?

Are you this proud?

Sasha’s confident face cracked.
