“Mother…”

“You guys keep your mouths shut!”

The Jordan River appeared before my eyes.

I felt that death was just around the corner.

“Adrian Floyd… How dare the author, who is a court tutor… ”

“……”

A trembling voice.

Soon, the queen’s gaze turns to my lower body.

I understand.

I’m angry, but this is a separate issue.

It might be some kind of instinct.

In this situation, I also absentmindedly checked the queen’s face and body.

‘Why do you look so young?’

The queen appeared to be in her early 30s at most.

Even her appearance itself was that of a peerless beauty who would make you forget about ordinary people in their 20s.

‘Are they by any chance my real daughters?’

If she was a concubine who came in late, I can understand, but if that woman is the biological mother of the two princesses, she must be the owner of an incredible youthful appearance.

‘But then again, looking at it this way, they do seem similar…’

Considering my daughters’ beauty, I can’t help but understand that it’s genetic…

No matter what, even though he’s young, he still looks too young.

‘Our tastes overlap?’

I don’t know what kind of guy the king of this country is, but it seems like our tastes overlap quite a bit.

“Mom, I think there’s a misunderstanding…”

“Shut up! Misunderstanding? You showed me something like that and now you’re calling me a misunderstanding?”

“……”

This fucking punk is dying, but he’s holding on till the end.

Even at this very moment, my whole body is wrapped in ropes by the knights.

“P, Mr. Floyd. Put on your pants…”

The queen’s personal escorts are all female knights, but they are also in trouble.

“Excuse me, but could you please put some clothes on me? As you can see, you’ve tied both my arms up”

“Uh, you mean us? Well, then lie down here for a moment and put your legs up… But uh… How long are you going to keep this up…”

“Don’t be kind to sinners!”

“Yes!”

Ah, s, slowly…

I don’t know about the legs, but that part is very delicate.

I kept my mouth shut before I incurred any more unnecessary hatred from the Queen.

‘There’s a hole for something to escape through…’

Then he quickly rolled his head.

Have to live.

Death that occurred just a day ago.

I never want to repeat that horrible situation again.

As humans, we will die someday, but we should postpone it as much as possible.

I don’t know if this is some kind of godly trick, but I was lucky enough to get a second life.

We can’t just end it like this.

‘You damn Adrian… what the hell have you been doing?’

If it weren’t for that guy, why would I have sex with my disciple, and why would I have sex with a princess of all people?

‘Purua…’

I looked at Purua, who was getting dressed with the help of her maids on the other side.

If there’s anyone who can survive this situation, it’s her.

I have no choice but to get help from Princess Purua.

“Adrian…”

I made eye contact with her.

‘Purua…’

That was truly the most untrustworthy look I’ve ever seen in my life.

But that’s just the surface.

She can’t help but be a real help to me.

Look at this.

Also, aren’t Adrian’s memories coming back?

* * *

Quite a bit of time has passed.

It felt like several days had passed since I was dragged in with my eyes covered and tied up the whole time.

But it might only have been a few hours, considering I haven’t slept even for a moment.

It’s impossible to sleep in a situation where I might die.

“Adrian Floyd. Come out now!”

Ah, how long has it been since I heard a human voice?

Perhaps because my view is blocked, I can’t help but be so happy to hear any human presence.

Wasn’t it like that from the beginning?

Even if you make excuses, at least there has to be someone by your side, someone who will listen.

“I don’t know who you are, but unfortunately, I’m in this state right now and can’t move on my own…”

“It’s good for a sinner to be sold. What the heck! Hurry up and drag me out!”

How can someone like this have such good fortune?

Oh, is that because I was lying in bed?

Fortunately, the place I was in wasn’t the typical prison with its iron bars and cold stone floors.

It was a fairly spacious room with a soft bed and furniture surrounding it.

Of course, I didn’t see it with my own eyes, but this is information I found out with my whole body while rolling and crawling around with my tied up body.

‘I guess you don’t plan on telling the king.’

As a rough guess, there is a high probability that this is the queen’s private villa.

‘Because you are a proud person. Queen Emilia.’

According to Adrian’s memory, she is the person who hates more than anyone in the world for rumors about her daughters and me to spread.

‘So that’s why you brought me to a place like this instead of prison. So that the king wouldn’t find out.’

If this becomes known to the king, it will naturally reach the ears of other nobles as well.

The Queen is not the type of person to handle things that way due to her pride.

‘Thanks to that, I too won’t die.’

I was led by someone and moved for a long time.

The sound of heavy footsteps.

An occasional metallic rubbing sound.

Even the conversation that didn’t take place at all throughout the move.

It was obvious that it would be the same knights as last time.

“Take off the sinner’s blindfold!”

“Yes, mama.”

Although I was dragged here for quite some time, I could tell that this place was the same building as the one I was staying in.

‘Ugh… It’s dazzling.’

A strong light that feels like it’s been a long time since I’ve seen it.

The glare subsides and your vision gradually brightens.

‘As expected… it’s just as I expected.’

A fancy chair placed without a stage.

The beautiful queen sat in the middle of the chair with an expressionless face.

“Have you sorted out your thoughts? Adrian Floyd.”

“Huh? Are you talking about organizing your mind?”

“I asked if you had written a will in your heart, since you will be dead soon.”

no.

I don’t die.

At least the queen has no intention of killing me.

‘If that was the case, I would have killed you already.’

She waited.

A time to quietly handle this without anyone knowing.

‘Late night… or early morning?’

You can’t see outside, but it’s certain.

There is a high probability that it wasn’t long before that happened.

‘It feels like not even a day has passed…’

If I, as a court tutor, go missing for several days after teaching the princess, that could also be a problem.

That’s why the queen didn’t want to waste time.

‘Is this… the brain of a so-called genius?’

If I were in my original state, I would have been so scared that I wouldn’t have been able to think normally, but now I’m very calm and composed.

There is no sense of fear about the current situation or the powerful person known as the queen.

I know it in my head.

That woman could never kill me.

‘I really hope so.’

Of course, there is a little bit of nervousness.

I’m not that guy, and the memories he had aren’t perfect either.

Since you never know how a momentary slip of the tongue can change the situation, it’s still important to be careful about what you do.

“Aren’t you asking me? Are you so scared that you can’t speak?”

“……”

I slowly looked around while keeping an eye on the queen.

‘There are six articles in total…’

There are no maids around, two next to the queen, two next to me, and two at the door.

A total of six knights are guarding this place.

‘Did the Queen only place people she could trust?

Of course they will be skilled people.

It doesn’t seem like a situation where I, who am only two days into the ice age, can do anything with force.

‘I guess I have no choice but to persuade the Queen…’

Prepare yourself mentally.

And he looked straight into the queen’s eyes.

“Why did you keep me alive?”

“Huh. You seem to know that you have committed a sin worthy of death, right?”

“That’s not it, I just know that Mom misunderstands me like that.”

Although she is acting expressionless, everyone here, including me, knows that the queen is upset.

‘I should refrain from making offensive remarks as much as possible, but… in order to survive…’

“Misunderstanding? What did I misunderstand?”

“I just did my best in my duties.”

“You’re saying that now! …I saw it with my own two eyes. Misunderstanding? That’s not even funny.”

The queen, who started to show her emotions differently than before.

“If you asked the princesses, you would know that what we did was just a class.”

Princess Charlotte is concerned, but if it were Puruah, she would simply reply that it was just a lesson, as Adrian had told her to do.

“That… That right now… You dare to make excuses in front of me!”

You have to do it to survive.

You absolutely must touch it.

Her weakness.

That’s right, pride.

“If that wasn’t class, what was it?”

“What!?”

“It was a lesson. If you think it was a lesson, then it was just a lesson. But if you start to have strange misunderstandings, then everyone else… even the nobles staying in the palace will think so too. Rumors might spread that I am having an impertinent relationship with the two princesses who are of Mama’s bloodline.”

“This… This author!”

“Are you planning to kill me? Then the nobles will be more certain. I have heard that rumors about me are already circulating in the palace. You can cut off my head here, but at the same time, the rumors will spread uncontrollably. Do you really want that?”

“Yes, are you trying to threaten me right now!?”

I took a deep breath as if I was being told something, and then continued speaking very calmly to the very excited queen.

“I, Adrian Floyd. I will swear on the honor of the Floyd family that I have no relationship with the princess. I was just teaching. This fact will be proven by the several knights who suddenly showed up yesterday and the maids in charge of Princess Purua who have been there from the beginning.”

There must be another reason why the queen cannot do anything to me.

The Floyd family.

Adrian Floyd is from the kingdom’s only family of sorcerers.

‘When else would you use your family name if you can’t use it now?’
