Chapter Index

    They soon looked at each other and cleared their throats.

    “Hmm, we were really worried about the princess…”

    “Worried? Kindness that the other person does not want is violence. Don’t you even know this basic common sense?”

    The young people’s faces turned red.

    “First, I hate ugly men.”

    “…What? Mo, what can’t I do?”

    “Second, I also hate bad-headed people.”

    “…”

    “Third, I have never called anyone oppa before, so I don’t know why you keep calling me oppa or oppa. If you want, I can call you uncle. As it happens, you are the perfect guy.”

    As I bobbed my head, Yeongsik’s face turned red as he had been stabbed.

    “What, you won’t get out of the way even if it’s like this? I guess you haven’t heard the rumor about me?”

    They knew it too. But the princess and her power were attractive enough to endure it. Most of them were second or third sons who had a low probability of becoming heirs. In an instant, the princess, reading their expressions, opened her mouth.

    “How bad would I feel if an ugly and stupid man called himself oppa and blocked my way?”

    “……”

    They looked at me blankly after hearing an answer they had never imagined.

    “And what will I do with them when that happens?”

    I crossed my arms and tilted my head to the side.

    “Go, princess. I am the second son of Count Clinton!”

    A man who looked smooth for an extra came forward.

    “Ah. It was the Count’s son.”

    Then I remembered.

    “So?”

    “Yes? Yes?”

    If you said that, did you think I would be happy? Of course, the Count was one of my good business partners. But that has nothing to do with you.

    ‘Oh my gosh, princess, you are so young, how can you be like this… My sons, especially my second son, are very trouble-makers…’

    He also likes me so much that he can’t help but fall in love with me when he looks at such an ugly person.

    ‘hot…’

    It’s dangerous because the family’s drinking may have spread it.

    “Yes, Clinton second. He would be really happy if I told him about your rudeness, right?”

    “……! I’m sorry, please forgive me.”

    Why don’t you know until it happens? A lot of people are already upset, but they’re bothering me.

    “He’s not very handsome, but he has a great personality? Then you are a great person, right?”

    I said mischievously, crossing my legs.

    “He’s not very handsome, but he’s got talent? Then he is a useful person.”

    Have I been too gentle lately? But that was because the person who approached me was polite and kind.

    “But the subject is ugly and his personality is trash?”

    I glanced at them while raising my mana.

    “Then I should just die, right? Isn’t it?”

    Guys who are flirtatious even when a woman rejects her. That’s what they call trash.

    “For the sake of world peace, even though the air is precious, no one will criticize you if you take that life a little sooner, right?”

    And I learned this time. Those who bared their teeth at me just for the sake of it.

    “Go, go… Princess…”

    “Buy… Save… Lord.”

    “Ah.”

    I saved up my mana. They croaked as if they were out of breath just because my mana was slightly released.

    ‘Why is it like that?’

    It was then.

    A hand reached out from behind and tapped my shoulder. A familiar touch.

    “Dad?”

    “How dare you guys harass my daughter?”

    “K. Ugh.”

    One by one, the Yeongsiks, covered in tears and snot, raised their heads. They looked extremely resentful.

    Is this why you say we shouldn’t use violence?

    They were probably the perpetrators, but their messed up faces looked like victims to anyone who saw them.

    I looked at my dad feeling a little embarrassed.

    ‘ah. hmm.’

    Dad doesn’t seem to see anything like that.

    ‘If you dare to harass my daughter, I will kill you all.’ It was just that kind of expression.

    As I said, killing them would be a bother.

    “Dad, Dad.”

    There was no better way to stop an angry father than this.

    I looked at them with pitiful eyes, as if they were about to suffocate at any moment due to my father’s burning energy, and then looked up at my father.

    “Please hug me.”

    For some reason, I didn’t even turn around, but it felt like an absurd look was stuck in the back of my head. Anyway, I wrapped my arms around my father’s neck as he suddenly picked me up.

    “Where should I take you, princess.”

    “I want to go home.”

    Afterwards, a letter arrived from Count Clinton thanking him for his son’s maturity.

    [P.S., I want to become a true dark person hiding behind the shadows. Do you know what this means?]

    * * *

    [Sasha, are you out of your mind? Why did you mess with the princess’s maid!]

    Sasha narrowed her eyes at the angry voice that could be heard even through the communicator.

    “Why are you making a fuss about that, you’re barely a maid!”

    [You… still don’t know what you did?]

    “Rightful for obtaining sacrifices.”

    [Don’t talk nonsense! Everyone who went out that day is missing! All the members of the organization dispatched because of you died or were captured!]

    “At best, she’s just a maid.”

    [Not a maid! A maid! And that’s exclusive to the princess!]

    noisy.

    Noisy.

    [The Duke family is now overthrowing the capital! I don’t care if you get caught or not, just you! I will find the culprit! Even now, how many more members of the organization have been captured, and I don’t even know if your brother Sein is dead or alive!]

    Know. It was something everyone knew.

    “I don’t want to hear it! If you’re not going to help me, just shut up.”

    [You really still-.]

    Beep.

    After ending the communication, Sasha roughly brushed her hair and walked away.

    ‘Damn, why are there so many articles?’

    It was the moment when Sasha, who had eluded the chase, crossed the Marquis’s Ridge.

    [Let’s make a deal?]

    A voice rang directly in my head. A child’s voice with a playful feel.

    “No need.”

    *

    a few days ago.

    It was when I stopped by a dessert shop and returned to the mansion around sunset that I felt something strange.

    I was followed. One, two, three, it keeps increasing. When there were more than 10 people, they had no intention of hiding.

    She couldn’t understand. All plans worked out well. That’s what I thought, but not only my brother, but none of the members of the organization that had convened were contacted.

    Even someone as nimble as an assassin. Some people wore armor like knights.

    “Heo-eok… Heo-eok.”

    Sasha ran. I was breathing heavily and sweating heavily.

    “Why why!!”

    Even though my shoes were torn off and my feet were bleeding, I kept running.

    If you feel like you barely escaped.

    “Here! It’s a blood stain!”

    “I went that way.”

    “This way!!”

    It’s the knights again.

    First two people.

    If you pass through the alley, there are six.

    The more she ran away, the more the number of people chasing her doubled.

    It was no exaggeration to say that wherever we went, there were knights and soldiers everywhere we passed.

    At this point, Shashara could tell. Things went wrong. However, no matter how much of a duke it is, the response goes far beyond what one family can do. If you do this in the capital, the treason charge will be overturned through military action.

    There was no time to think any more.

    “Wow…”

    Sasha was nauseated.

    A sweet smell comes from the mouth. Even though she is an expert, it was her first time running this far. My legs are shaking.

    It felt like everyone living in the capital was chasing him, trying to catch him.

    The place we finally arrived at was a back alley, the darkest and dirtiest of them all, a slum that no one goes to.

    It was a shabby warehouse that had been deserted for a long time and could hardly be called a slum.

    When I opened the old door and went inside, I could see that it was full of dirty bugs and spiderwebs, a place no one had ever been to.

    I shuddered, but I couldn’t move my hand anymore.

    I take my tired body and walk slowly. Even a corner of a warehouse littered with straw seemed like a blessing to her now.

    As I lay down, a huge amount of dust entered my lungs and I started coughing.

    “Cough… Ugh… Still, if it’s here…”

    You will be able to rest for a while, at least long enough to recover your strength.

    She fell asleep right away.

    But I opened my eyes less than an hour later.

    “Aaagh…! no! Don’t come!”

    Uncomfortable bed. I shuddered at the sensation of goosebumps crawling on my skin.

    “Why am I like this… ugh.”

    Tears flow down my cheeks. White lines are drawn on the once pitch-black face.

    Just by closing your eyes for a moment, you can see your surroundings clearly.

    The place was littered with pitch-black powder, sand, fallen leaves, insects, and all kinds of unimaginable things of unknown origin. It felt like my lungs were being polluted just by breathing.

    It was a dirtier place than any place I had ever seen in my life.

    I can’t sleep in a place like this.

    The moment I stood up from my seat, I felt a presence through my heightened senses.

    Sasha hit the door and jumped out like lightning.

    As she expected, there were more than a dozen people. But their reaction was a beat late.

    “…!”

    Striking red hair. Because I was looking for those characteristics.

    The place where Sasha rested, thinking it was a pile of straw, had all sorts of dirty things weathered away, so she looked like a beggar to anyone who saw her now.

    Her pretty maid uniform had become tattered, and her ruby-red hair was covered in dust. But those who chased her were professionals. Her reaction alone made me pursue it right away.

    It repeats. Again. Run, run, run. I ran until I was out of breath.

    It’s been this hard, but it hasn’t even been a day.

    ‘Delicious smell.’

    He entered an unknown family home and brandished a knife.

    “Who, who? Gagging!”

    “Aaaagh!”

    The woman screamed when she saw her husband bleeding.

    Sasha couldn’t eat a single piece of food and ran away again. The soldiers’ response was too fast.
