The Tyrant Mistook Me For A Companion

Leon and I came into town after a long time.

I made him wear a mask because it was obvious that Edgar would go crazy if he knew. At least they won’t find us and drag us away.

“But I feel like I’ve seen this somewhere.”

I tilted my head to look at Leon’s strangely familiar face.

“I think this suits you.”

Leon grew up a lot and I wanted to get a new uniform for him. There will be a lot of wealthy people there.

I didn’t want to see Leon look shabbier than the others.

He looked good in everything, but I wanted to do something better.

“Elle, I’m fine without this.”

That’s what I said, but it doesn’t matter.

To satisfy my own self-interest.

“That’s right! I asked for a sword.”

“Sword?”

“Yes. Leon, your sword is very old.”

Since I saw that his sword was quite old and dull, I couldn’t let it go.

I’ve ordered the finest for Leon.

It should be familiar to Leon’s hands, but he could probably use any weapon with his hand.

“Okay, let’s go.”

Leon was willing to follow my hands.

His eyes were still on my wrist, wearing a blue ribbon.

“Hand, don’t let go. In case you lose me.”

I took the lead firmly with Leon’s hand.

Leon nodded and walked with me.

I was on my way to the weapons store while talking about the story, but I suddenly froze in place.

‘Why is that unlucky guy here?’

Leon’s head, which was looking at my frozen face, soon turned forward.

“Leon, let’s go somewhere else first.”

Contrary to my urgent mind, my steps were not easily taken.

At that moment, a smirk hung on the lips of the man who found me.

“Who is this? It’s the Velois family that hates to be seen.”

That’s what I want to say.

‘No, what kind of prince is like that?’

At Delter’s words, my face rotted away.

I faced him with a grimace.

“Are there any guards in here?”

Look at him picking a fight as soon as he sees it.

The male lead candidate has a strong personality.

I shuddered by myself.

My hands trembled and my mouth burned.

“I see His Highness the Crown Prince. I didn’t expect to see you in a place like this.”

No, it’s not the capital. Why does he show up here?

Come to think of it, isn’t this funny?

Why would you come to my territory and pick a fight?

“Oh, I didn’t expect to come to such a shabby place either.”

Look at him. He’s so unlucky.

“Yeah, a shabby person will come to such a precious place.”

“Don’t you think you said something the other way around?”

I pretended not to know.

A strange atmosphere came and went between him and me. Leon, who was watching him, pulled my hand.

“Elle.”

Leon’s voice was very calm, but he was very wary.

Ah. Is Leon seeing Delther for the first time?

He’d be surprised if I showed this hostility.

“Is he a knight of the guard?”

He looked over Leon with an interesting look on his face.

Taking a step closer, Delther touched the mask that covered Leon’s face.

“Suspicious, this mask, too. Even between the two of you.”

Leon’s hand, which took my hand, was tightened.

The madman and the madman met.

I hurriedly blocked the gap between Leon and Delter.

Damn it… this is why I can’t.

“Back off. Let the crown prince.”

I spoke to Leon as if to order.

“A guard who does not even listen to his master.”

Delther smiled low, raising one corner of his mouth.

“Ha, ha, ha. The Count is in big trouble, too. Is he going to be ruined?”

“You’re talking too much.”

I gritted my teeth. I shouldn’t have come out.

“Apparently, you applied. I don’t think he’ll be good. Does covering his face mean you’re not confident?”

“I’m just covering it up for the sake of others.”

He’s so handsome that you can’t see.

The mere sight of red eyes and black hair may make you feel numb.

I heard Delther talk and glanced back.

The woman approached this way, escorted by a knight, narrowing the distance gradually.

‘Why, why even Janice?’

I glanced at Leon. His eyes glistened with color.

For a moment, my heart plummeted and I stopped breathing in anxiety.

‘Why are you so anxious? It’s a good thing.’

Isn’t it a good thing they’re getting acquainted.

I tried to comfort myself by saying it was okay.

Does Leon recognize Janice at a glance? That he’s going to be her companion?

“Your Highness, I’m done…uh?”

Janice, who’s getting closer, divert her eyes toward Leon.

She looked as if she had found a person that she had seen the other day.

Have you two ever met? No, Leon never left the Count.

He must have gone out in disguise when he went to buy my brooch.

So what the hell is that reaction?

I alternated between Janice and Leon in confusion.

But even though he saw Janice, there was no different reaction at all.

Just calmly looking at Delther and Janice.

There was nothing unusual except the exhaling life toward Delther Kabezer.

“Velois, I really don’t like that look.”

Delther clicked his tongue and turned around.

Janice doesn’t seem to like the attitude of responding to Leon.

“What are you doing? Not coming?”

Delter said to Janice, who was staring blankly at Leon.

Only then did Janice, who came to her senses, hurriedly turn to follow him.

“Uh, uh…”

Janice’s body tilted to the floor.

I don’t know if she stepped on her skirt or if it was a coincidence.

She was about to say hello to the floor.

I couldn’t reach her even though I reached out in a hurry.

“……Be careful.”

Perhaps because of the fast reaction, Leon grabbed Janice’s waist and prevented her from falling.

He caught it without realizing it.

When I saw it, I burst out laughing.

‘Ah, fate continues.’

I didn’t need to worry.

What I should have worried about is me.

I realized it again today.

Janice’s face turned red in Leon’s arms.

At Janice’s brief scream, Delther turned and saw Leon and I looking at her.

His eyes were filled with sadness, resentment, and anger.

Disappointment.

Yeah, maybe he feels the same way I do.

An unknown sense of empathy.

“Oh…”

Leon hurriedly removed her from his arms and looked at me.

His eyes were full of embarrassment.

I took a step back at the sight of him approaching me.

“……I will not forget that you helped the Princess”

“Yes, don’t forget that grace. The guard of the Velois family saved the Princess.”

I said to Delther with a big smile.

Yes, this is an excuse to make a shield to some extent.

Leon helped the Princess as a knight from the Velois family, which was also beneficial to me.

“Sure, I’ll see you later.”

Delther quickly approached and hurried to Janice.

“Yes, go take a look.”

If we meet again, the only day it will be was when my neck was cut.

Seeing you again wasn’t very pleasant to me.

Janice could not take her eyes off Leon even as she was dragged by Delther.

“……I! Thank you.”

She hurriedly thanked Leon. But Leon never looked at her again.

Because he was looking at me

I immediately turned and walked.

‘It’s a good thing. Yeah, it’s a good thing.’

It was a good sign for me that Leon and Zenith were getting closer.

Still, my heart was heavy.

It was so heavy that it was difficult to take a step.

I stopped at the top of the road and looked at the sky.

“The weather is bad.”

“……Elle.”

Leon came up to me and examined my face.

Why are you looking at me?

“Let’s go! It’s past the appointed time.”

I tried to smile brightly and drag Leon’s hand.

“Oh, by the way, have you ever met the princess?”

“No. Would I have met her if i’m in the house?”

Leon shook his head.

That’s true.

But it was definitely a short moment, but they seemed to know each other.

Was it just a feeling?

“Elle, that was earlier.”

“What?”

I tilted my head as if I didn’t know. When we reached the weapon store, we entered without saying a word.

“Leon, be sure to pass.”

And get away from me.

It’s because I don’t think we should be together anymore.

“Now you have to get out of here. How long are you planning to stay here? You’ve already awakened your power.”

Unlike my heart, harsh words came out.

“Yes……I will if that’s what you want.”

Leon smiled lightly as he accepted the sword I handed him.
