Lilac ran downhill.

The tears blurred my vision so I couldn’t see anything, but I still ran.

When she reached the bottom of the hill and couldn’t run any further, she stopped to catch her breath.

weird.

I want to wail, but my voice doesn’t come out.

I can’t breathe out because something is holding my vocal cords.

So Lilac just trembled.

The tears fell and melted into the lake water, and the exhaled breath dispersed without a sound.

“Keuuk… Ugh… ”

I thought I was now friends with Tangaroa.

However, Tangaroa confirmed that he would return to his hometown after graduation.

I thought I could be a lover with Coleman.

But Coleman had no intention of doing so.

Are you asking for time to think, not refusal?

You’re just saying it back. After thinking about it all, I will say this.

Because the chairman is too much for me… !

I can’t do it without you.

I like it when I smell your scent, I feel ecstatic when I feel your body heat, and I feel anxious when I don’t see you.

But to you I… You’re worried about whether or not to date him.

Suddenly, anger swept through her body.

okay? Then do whatever you want. I don’t need you either.

If you refuse, I will grab your pants and beg you… I’ll hold on to you and beg you…

… If I beg you, will you let me go out with you then?

Lilac shook her head. Let’s not do anything ugly.

She started back the way she came.

Every time I take a step, I reflect on my mistakes.

Was it wrong for Tangaroa to confess after such a serious accident?

After sorting out the problem, should I have confessed in a more stable atmosphere?

That might have been better. But I didn’t think of that at the time.

I was so dazed after my desk fell over that I wanted to run up to Coleman and pour out my true feelings.

There was no way he would have accepted that. In that situation…

So far, Coleman has just been hanging out with me when I ask him to.

Because she is the princess, the president, and a collaborator in the era of romance.

So, with what was given to me in moderation, I was delusional and anxious on my own…

“I was stupid. I.”

As I caught my breath, I felt nauseous, as if my stomach was going to turn over.

If you don’t like me, why did you hug me on that cold day?

Why did you come after drinking and rub your body against me, trying to tell me not to get sick?

Why did you ask me to dance? Why me…

“Stop it.”

She swallowed, suppressing the nausea.

He keeps repeating that it’s not Coleman’s fault that he doesn’t like him.

Lilac, who had been staring blankly at the waves of the lake, suddenly raised her head.

“That’s right. Coleman… ”

I have to go back.

You promised. I decided not to leave without leaving Coleman behind.

I still have scars from what happened with my sister, but I can’t let this happen to me too.

Lilac started walking along the lakeside again.

What should I say when I meet Coleman?

Should I just forget everything and try to be good friends from now on?

Or should I just pretend that nothing happened and pretend that I really went to the bathroom?

if… If you say you will go out with me after much thought…

Lilac’s reverie was interrupted by the sound of rustling footsteps.

The moment the Crown Princess turned to see if Coleman had come down, she realized that the sound came from the opposite direction of the hill.

And then the sound of metal scraping against the ground and stones.

“… Rose water.”

“Hello, our Chairman.”

Rose drags a claymore and smiles eeriely.

Lilac swallowed her saliva once and shot.

“If you have something to say, say it quickly. There is someone waiting for me right now.”

“Cantor Coleman? Oh my, so romantic.”

Those sarcastic words turned Lilac’s stomach.

But the remarks that followed were even more shocking.

“If you disappear, how long will Coleman search for you?”

“What?”

“It’s a waste. I wanted to feed my sword with the blood of the white sheep again… ”

Rose leaned the claymore against a nearby tree.

“The client asked me not to hurt him as much as possible.”

“Client? Are you an instigator of the intelligence agency? You’re crazy.

Are you going to kidnap me on this festival night when both the Emperor and the two Dukes are present?”

“Imperial Intelligence Service?”

A puzzled look passed across Rose’s face.

However, she soon regained her composure and burst into laughter.

“Ah, ah. Come to think of it, our Crown Princess has many intertwined stories.

Hold on to your worries. Because it has nothing to do with the intelligence agency.”

“Then-”

“You don’t know that!”

When the Blue Dragon’s Magna Cum Laude swings his hand, a field of silence unfolds.

An advanced wind magic spell that absorbs sound.

Lilac quickly put her hand to her waist, but realized that she had left behind her self-defense sword.

Tsk!

The magical power condenses in the palm and spreads out for a long time.

When Lilac pulled out her lightsaber and aimed it forward, Rose hesitated, unable to approach easily.

What should I do now? Are we going to keep fighting like this until the sun rises and people come?

no. Let’s not think of it that way.

Quickly shake off Rose and go to the waiting Coleman-

Rose disappeared from sight.

What remains are traces of lunar magic.

Make haste to gather magical power again and scatter it forward.

The light of truth that extinguishes illusions.

and-

Rosewater appeared half a step in front of Lilac.

He quickly takes a defensive stance, but it is already too late.

A regime that hits you hard on the stomach.

The wind magic that extends from the fist passes through Lilac’s body.

“Ugh!”

Something spits out from the mouth.

Is it blood? I want to check, but my vision is blurry and I can’t see anything.

Lilac forced her shaking body to stand up, but was immediately knocked back by a kick to the chest.

You have to wake up. We have to get to Coleman quickly.

He is waiting on the hill.

That thought kept Lilac awake.

Again and again and again.

But eventually the spirit had its limits, and after about twenty blows, Lilac could no longer move.

A whisper coming from above.

“Mission Accomplished. As expected, it’s quite tough like a white sheep, right?”

The silence has been lifted.

Somehow… Somehow…

“To Coleman… I have to go back… ”

But the handkerchief covered her mouth and nose.

I feel drowsy along with the pungent, unpleasant smell.

You can’t sleep here… not… Okay…

————————————————– —————————-

Quain Island. Room 5, 4th floor, Academy Guest Hall.

Imperial Intelligence Director Hermann Jorowitz woke up from a deep sleep to the sound of an alarm.

A magical messenger in the shape of a white cat was hanging on a gold string he had installed.

The director wiped his face with a water-soaked handkerchief to drive away drowsiness, then released the golden rope and let the messenger in.

“Say.”

“Director of Information. This is Hayley Cantor.”

A messenger speaking in the voice of an agent.

Hermann looked at his watch. It’s still 2 am.

This is by no means a regular reporting time.

“What’s going on?”

“I lost my first love.”

The fatigue went away.

First love is a code name meaning Princess Lilac.

“Report in detail. Where was the last thing you saw?”

“I went alone with Coleman to the western lakeshore of Quain Island.

Because it was difficult to follow and track, surveillance was stopped, and three hours later, it was confirmed that Coleman was looking for his first love.

I also checked Baekyang Dormitory and Student Center, but it is nowhere to be found.

ah. The student center was extremely messy.”

“… Do more research.”

Additional report arrived an hour later.

“ We confirmed that a magic duel, including a silence spell, took place on the western lakeshore.”

“What does that mean?”

“It is highly likely that he was kidnapped after his first love was subdued.”

kidnap.

The director quickly analyzed the current situation.

Neither the Academy nor the Emperor are aware of the Crown Princess’s disappearance.

In other words, the criminal did not demand ransom… till now.

“The most likely thing is to try to get your first love out of the academy.

Once you leave Quain Island, they will either kill you or imprison you… ”

“Shall we monitor the dock?”

“I will attach an agent from my side, so you can focus on your current mission.

and… ”

The Intelligence Director swallowed his saliva and then spoke.

“Hide this fact from others.

Tell them that you confirmed that your first love is secretly going to Romelo Village.”

“Yes? That’s a false report-”

“I take full responsibility.”

I would like nothing more if the kidnapper kills the Crown Princess.

Because it is about erasing the stain that the scum of the covenant world left on this great nation.

If you ask for ransom or negotiation without killing them… It could still be blamed on the Crown Princess herself, who hysterically refused to provide security.

Well, he will be responsible for the intelligence failure… If the Empire asks him to make a sacrifice, he must gladly accept it.

“You’re really lucky. What wonderful luck.”

“… I. Director.”

“Something?”

The messenger relayed Hayley’s stuttering voice.

“Coleman… So my younger brother… I’m looking for my first love.

What should I do?”

The director spoke quietly.

“What does that matter?”

“… sorry. What you said is correct, Director. It doesn’t matter at all.”

“No. Come to think of it, you made a good point.

If he continues to look for his first love, people might get suspicious, so we have to take action.

Tell them that your first love went to Romelo Village.”

There is no response.

“Haley.”

“Yes.”

“You probably haven’t forgotten who saved you, right?”

“… I have not forgotten.”

He let out a soft sigh and ended the communication.

“Then carry out your mission, Agent Hayley Cantor.”
