I went straight into the office.

Fluffy.

Diego puts Jack, who has turned into a corpse, on the floor. I glanced at him and his eyes were the same as usual.

‘Something feels a bit awkward.’

Basically, he is a quiet person.

“Mea, do you want to come out?”

“Mya-ah.”

When I stroked the back of my hand, Mea appeared. This guy approaches me as if he’s being cute, which makes me smile.

‘Looking at it like this, it looks bigger than Diego.’

Mea’s eye level was higher than me sitting on the chair. Mea put her front paws on my lap and nuzzled her face into my neck.

However, the reason it is not heavy is not because it is holy water, but because Mea is being considerate of me.

The only sound coming from the quiet office was the rustling sound.

“Mea. Do you want to eat that?”

I blurted out without thinking.

“Mya-ah?”

Mea, with her big eyes wide open, tilted her head.

That look is like, are you really eating it?

I feel like that’s what you’re asking.

“Sorry. I’m kidding. I’ll give you food now.”

You can’t feed your child something like that.

I took out a top-grade magic stone and placed it in my hand. Mea licks the magic stone more carefully than usual. A warm feeling grazing the palm of your hand. Mea, who was watching me, bit down on the magic stone.

“Ah, lady!”

Diego is feeling restless for some reason.

“Why?”

I looked at him questioningly. Meanwhile, Mea, who had eaten all the magic stones, was in my arms.

Then big Diego was nowhere to be seen. What you see before your eyes is pure white fur.

I burst into laughter as I felt like I was being asked to play with myself.

“Mya.”

I reached out my hand and stroked Mea’s head and pressed it lightly.

Diego’s face, which he faced again, somehow seemed to have turned bluer than before.

‘what?’

Are you feeling unwell?

Actually, I was called in the middle of the night, and I wasn’t in a good mood as I was left in my sleep.

“First of all, that. Will you hand it over to Nazar? Thank you for your hard work until late.”

I tilted my head and pointed to the jack spread out on the floor.

“Okay.”

‘…I think I could swallow it in one bite.’ Diego muttered softly and lifted Jack up. Even though he had turned into a corpse, his pulse was still racing. The moment Diego bowed lightly and left the office.

“Lady~!”

A cheerful voice was heard. It was Miu who came in as if taking turns with Diego.

“Miu?”

“Gasp! Tiger?”

Miu was scared when she saw Mea.

“Ah, the lady is eaten?!”

“Eat…? Ah.”

Only then did I understand Diego’s reaction.

still.

‘How many times has Diego seen Mea?’

Mea has become a daily routine for me. Normally, I would have gone to bed, so I called Mea. Let me scratch your chin with my hand. Mea roars.

“Wow. When you become a young lady, you keep a white tiger like this… as a pet… .”

Miu, who seemed to have understood something on her own, nodded.

“I’ll go.”

I just nodded.

“Lady, you worked hard today!”

I was about to turn around but stopped when I heard Miu’s voice. I was secretly relieved that Miu’s attitude towards me had not changed and that the traitor was not someone I knew.

It wasn’t just her.

“Lady! Take a look!”

“Ham. Sleep well, lady…”

Starting with Alex, the voices of Lena and the employees are heard.

I continued to think about it, feeling somewhat moved.

The store itself is a mansion that has been converted into a store. As such, full-time employees had lodgings within the mansion. Even at dawn, when only the moonlight was shining, the employees who had heard the commotion had woken up and gathered one by one.

When I heard that a traitor had appeared, I wondered if my management policy was wrong.

I believed that if people treated me with respect, they would repay me, but looking at reality, this was not necessarily the case.

but.

This sight right now tickles my heart, but I don’t hate it.

“I’ll come again.”

“Please.”

I received greetings from the staff and memorized my order.

‘Teleport.’

When I opened my eyes again, I was in my room.

“I feel a little empty.”

The spacious office also became crowded with employees.

Is it because of that? My room felt larger than usual.

“Do you think you can sleep for 4 hours?”

It was the moment when I, after changing into my pajamas, crawled under the blanket and tried to hug the stuffed rabbit I had lying down.

“Mya.”

Mea came out on her own and kicked the rabbit doll.

“Mea?”

Mea, who was next to me, wrapped around my body like a mother nursing her baby.

“Good night. Mea.”

I snuggled into Mea’s arms and closed my eyes.

* * *

At that time, Diego Orta was lost in thought.

No matter how many times I see it, I never get used to it.

An energy more powerful than any magical beast he had ever seen. That’s how he acts like a kitten in front of a young lady.

“What are you worried about?”

Nazar Valence. Even the smiling man in front of me is infinitely stronger than me.

“A little while ago, I saw a girl playing with Mea.”

“Aha.”

With just those words, the man seemed to understand.

As he gestures, my vision flickers.

“There’s nothing complicated.”

The place it moved to was on the wall.

In front of you, you will see a large sign that says ‘Eclair.’

“Because that child was raised by you from an egg. He thinks only of you more than anyone else.”

The man entered the store without hesitation.

“Hmm. The interior is very messy, really sloppy.”

He inspected areas that needed repairs as if he were the owner of the store.

“Let’s go now.”

The field of vision changes again. The wind blows. It was in front of a mansion so splendid and grand that it could hardly be considered a baron’s mansion, with a cool breeze blowing rather than the air inside the building.

“You ate a lot.”

Diego’s eyes widened at the sound of Nazar’s voice.

The four soldiers standing guard in front of the mansion opened their mouths as if they were saying “What a bastard!”. Soon they were sucked into their own shadows.

Cheer up. Spears and swords were rolling around on the floor. The only trace of their presence was the weapons they were carrying. They disappeared from this world without even understanding what had happened to them.

“You’re slower than I thought.”

“The guards did nothing wrong, right?”

Diego couldn’t help but ask.

“You, if you worry about every single thing like that, you won’t get anything done.”

Nazar looked slowly at Diego.

“…”

“You are the lady’s knight. For the lady, just for the lady. What should I do to keep the young lady from getting hurt and how to make her happy? All you have to do is think about that. We should be able to do any dirty work for you. If you don’t like it, tell me in advance.”

“…”

“Integrity, innocent and just knight. I think you can play that role too. Of course, there are a lot of articles like that.”

Her gray hair, bathed in moonlight, somehow looks like silver, reminding me of a young lady.

‘The lady was like that too.’

Could it be this person’s influence?

The young lady destroyed the worker’s spirit. It is not wrong to say that he was killed. He got his hands dirty by doing something that could have been done to him.

‘Come to your senses, Diego.’

It seemed like nothing was wrong, but I wanted to support the young lady’s small shoulders just a little bit.

The young lady did not force anything. It was a place I came to because I wanted to. Sir Claude, a senior member of the Knights Templar, was jealous of him.

“I won’t hesitate!”

Diego ran into the mansion.

After that, it was an instant.

‘It’s filthy, like filthy things.’

Nazar walked slowly. I looked around with unwavering eyes. He already knew that the soldiers also had fun by going along with the Baron’s plan.

‘Did I encourage you too much?’

The knights were cut down without their armor on, the wall was roughly cracked, and the place where Diego passed looked as if it had been stirred up by a ferocious beast.

“Save me, I’ll give you any amount of money!”

When Nazar arrived, he saw the Baron spread out on the floor with his heavy body, and Diego ready to behead him at any moment.

“Wait a minute, you’re too motivated.”

Baron Hambert is not enough to kill even a hundred times. But first of all, he is a nobleman. If you do this, problems will arise later.

When the smiling Nazar appeared, the Baron crawled and grabbed his leg.

“Now, you, please stop that person, I will give you any amount of my money.”

“Money?”

Nazar’s smile grew brighter.

“That’s right, I’ll give you 10% of my wealth! There are probably so many that you will never touch in your life.”

The Baron, who thought he was finally someone he could talk to, spoke arrogantly.

“That money belongs to our lady.”

“What? What does that mean…”

The Baron could say no more. Nazar, holding his head, spoke softly.

“Marionette.”

Then the Baron’s body began to tremble. Gray magical power takes control of the Baron’s body.

“Ugh!”

The baron’s head, which had been screaming, was bent down like a doll.

soon. Slowly enough to make a squeak. The Baron raised his head. His eyes were empty, unlike before.

“Organize.”

“Yes Master.”

The men who suddenly appeared at Nazar’s call began to clean up the inside of the mansion.

Diego, who was watching the scene, came to his senses when a hand tapped his shoulder.

“As expected, this is not right for you.”
