‘They’re all gone.’

A magic circle drawn with blood as if performing an evil ritual. It was as if they were using Elaine as a sacrifice. Even though he was told that there was no harm to Elaine, he ordered several investigations for her.

My boss investigated several cases that had no problems.

‘huh. After all, I’m a bitch.’

At first glance, the trail was neatly laid out without a trace of blood, but it looked as if nothing had happened, but to my eyes, it was as vivid as if something were happening right in front of me.

I should have come a long time ago.

[Kyahahaha. Run some more. If you’re that slow, you’ll get caught, right?]

Memories of the earth flow in. Elaine runs away with a very scared face, and Sasha chases after her.

How scary was it? Dozens of men wearing black robes and a crazy bitch chasing him.

As I trudged along, I bent my knees.

A lawn without a single trace of blood.

‘It’s here.’

This was the place where Sasha stabbed Elaine and Elaine cried and crawled.

“…Shasha.”

hate. I feel resentful.

I’ll kill you then.

I should have killed him then.

When you feel a little uncomfortable.

Thanks to my dad, I was able to forgive myself.

but.

if.

If Elaine is wrong. Could I have forgiven myself even then?

no.

That is not the correct answer.

I wouldn’t have been able to forgive myself.

“Ah.”

Before I knew it, my cheeks were hot.

“Let’s not cry.”

I wiped away my tears with my sleeve.

‘It’s this way. At that time, Sasha is this way.’

As I was walking along the forest path for a while, I heard a voice calling me.

“Princess Marian?”

“……His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?”

Prince Esteban was looking at him in surprise.

“You see everything in a place like this.”

“Yes.”

“Were you taking a walk? Alone?”

“…Yes.”

“You really came alone?”

‘It’s because there’s no sense of crisis after being attacked.’ He muttered softly and clicked his tongue as he suddenly approached me.

“I came with my family, but wait…”

“……Princess, are you really okay?”

I raised my head and looked at Esteban.

He was worried about me.

“Princess… There are times when you show that kind of side too.”

Esteban held out his hand to me.

“I couldn’t be happier to meet a princess on the promenade, my escortㅡ.”

“It’s okay.”

“ㅡAs expected, I knew that, even if you were crying, you were still the same.”

He withdrew his hand and grinned, as if he was not embarrassed. It was a smile that made the ladies’ hearts flutter, but it didn’t impress me at all.

‘If I see you crying, I’ll pretend not to notice you and go home. Anyway, it’s hateful.’

“Then I’ll just leave.”

I slightly lowered my head and passed him by.

*

Esteban, who was watching the silver hair quickly moving away, opened his mouth.

“……Sasha?”

“Yes, I think he was involved in the attack. Because I don’t even have any intention of hiding it from the duke in the first place.”

“I’ve never seen that expression before.”

Esteban frowned.

“Why? I thought it would be refreshing if the princess died. For some reason, I don’t like it.”

The driver who finished the report looked at him in bewilderment.

“Why?”

“Isn’t that love?”

“Love…”

The driver was anxious. I made a mistake. I said something unnecessary when I saw the owner for the first time. What needs to be said is determined.

“I’m sorry, I disturbed Your Highness with useless wordsㅡ.”

“I see.”

Contrary to his expectations, Esteban chuckled.

“This is love…”

It was a hollow laugh. It’s okay if you can’t get it. I just want to see you smile.

“Did you just see it?”

“Yes?”

“The princess’s expression when she saw me.”

“……Yes. After all, His Royal Highness’s beauty must be recognized. No matter how much you are a princessㅡ.”

“I was disgusted as if I had seen something I couldn’t see.”

“……!”

The knight could not find anything to say and lowered his head. To be honest, the expression on Princess Marian’s face earlier was one of dislike or even disgust. Her red cheeks and moist eyes, as if she had been crying, looked so pitiful that it made my heart ache just by looking at them. A face that any man would want to comfort.

But those eyes were like looking at a wounded wild beast that would bite you right away if you tried to block it.

I thought I had a pretty good social life, but what should I say?

“I said it was Sasha. Cooperate as much as possible and catch them if you can. I’d like to say it’s okay to kill him, but just in case, capture him alive.”

“Yes!”

Esteban walked slowly.

‘If I catch that maid and give her a gift, will you smile at me?’

In one corner of the forest, an artificially landscaped vacant lot appeared amidst the natural harmony of juniper trees. There, the young people took their seats first and were chatting happily.

They spotted Esteban and jumped up from their seats.

“Are you here, His Royal Highness?”

“It is an honor for you to attend.”

“Okay.”

As Esteban looked at them, a hint of contempt appeared on his face. I heard that an attack took place here. Those are really good things.

But soon he smiled, hiding his emotions without any hesitation.

“It feels good to see you after a long time, sit down.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

“Your Majesty’s face is glowing as the days go by.”

“When I talk about the ladies gathering together, I am envious of your Majesty.”

“Do you have any popular secrets?”

Esteban sat down and quietly listened to the young people’s flattery.

Everyone was anxious to make themselves look good.

‘How can children be so easy, unlike their parents?’

But it’s not fun.

At one point, Esteban’s eyes, who had been responding indifferently, glowed coldly.

“The princess was attacked.”

“Haha, that’s because women are cocky.”

“My father told me to be polite to the princess, but it’s clear that a bitch who is 10 years younger than me just nods her head.”

The driver next to Esteban was anxious.

‘crazy. They’re singing a song asking me to kill them.’

He had served Esteban for a long time, so he knew his personality well. What a vicious monster there is behind the seemingly docile mask.

“You guys seem to be very interested in the princess.”

As the article expected, Esteban was smiling wryly.

“Haha. Is that possible?”

“Well, it’s pretty, isn’t it?”

The young people continued their conversation without knowing the inner thoughts of the restless knight.

“Now that I think about it, I think I saw the princess earlier.”

“Didn’t you see it wrong?”

“It’s from the back, but it’s clear.”

The voices of the young people rose loudly.

“Isn’t now your chance?”

“Opportunity?”

“If you say you’re a woman, aren’t there times when you feel weak?”

“Definitely.”

He comforts the princess, who must have been very frightened, and wins her heart.

It was an idea that seemed like something out of a third-rate novel.

“Charge. Next scheduled time…”

The knight who was watching nervously opened his mouth.

“We caught up with you because you were so busy.”

“Yes, go ahead, Your Highness.”

Whenever it was called, the Youngsiks showed their anger.

The driver clicked his tongue inwardly.

‘Transparent, transparent.’ How can his true feelings be so obvious?

Their parents were assholes, but their children were truly transparent.

The young people were already shaking their butts.

Esteban quickly left the place without saying hello.

‘You idiots.’

They can’t tell the difference between heaven and earth and they crave excessive things that don’t fit their budget.

‘A moment of weakness?’

He knew this because he had seen many monsters while living as the crown prince.

She was not an opponent who could be taken by force.

*

I sighed and looked ahead.

‘Luck is fierce.’

I just thought it would be nice to be able to observe Sasha’s movement path while walking alone.

“It is dangerous if you are alone, so we will escort you.”

“It’s okay.”

I ignored them and walked. The way he approaches me, wriggling his fingers as if he wants to hold my hand, looks like a degenerate.

“Princess, haven’t you just woken up from your hospital bed? It would be so heartbreaking if you collapsed.”

“That’s right, it’s as complicated as a maze. We’ll guide you.”

The man held out his hand with a sad expression.

I held back the desire to hurt him physically, not emotionally.

An excuse that can resolve both the search and my action of casting an attack spell in the middle of the square.

I agreed, but I didn’t expect these things to stick.

“Princess, are you embarrassed by my hands? Stop being embarrassed and catch me.”

“How about folded arms? Now, here, this way.”

Were these circulated as a group?

“Isn’t it nice, princess?”

Most people don’t know faces. At least, they are people who I have never seen at the academy and who are quite a bit older than me.

The answer for crazy people is to ignore them.

“Since then, I still hear people say I’m handsome every morning and evening.”

At those words, I turned around without thinking.

‘and. Your parents are also very talented.’

I didn’t think there would be a more severe case of arm failure than my family, but it looks like your parents won this one.

Is he handsome if his eyes, nose, and mouth are in roughly similar places?

The moment I saw his face, I remembered a potato toy with falling out eyes, nose, and mouth from a movie I saw a while ago.

If Esteban had said that, I would have known he was handsome and said he was a grumpy guy worth his face.

You have such a handsome face with your eyes and bulbous nose. How thick are your bean pods?

I was strong from the moment I met Esteban, but this time, extras 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 were blocking my way.

Some of them are big and bulky, so I can’t get through.

Yes.

I was about to turn around and pass by.

“Uh huh. Isn’t that too much of what your brothers say?”

“You said you would take me there?”

I laughed out loud.

“Ha.”

Have I been too quiet these days?

“Hey.”

“To Yarani oppa…”

“You guys have lost your wits, right?”

I glared at them coldly, and only then did the spirits wince.
