I was busy day and night.

It was also hard to deal with what Edgar had done.

“You must go today.”

“Alright.”

I put my cape on. I couldn’t call it off because it was very helpful information and very promising.

Edgar is still unconscious.

How long will he lie down like that? I tried to touch him, but he was still unconscious.

“Not yet?”

“Yes, there’s a lot of talk about Count Edgar not being seen these days.”

I threatened them, and they still don’t understand what’s going on?

I clicked my tongue.

“What about a letter from Leon?”

“It appears that it has not come yet.”

Hessen shrugged his shoulders.

“I didn’t know he was going to be this out of reach.”

I have written to Leon several times since then.

But he had a lot of affection.

“Is this something to ignore?”

I, who felt disappointment within myself, told Lord Hessen stealthily.

“Yes, the war situation must be bad.”

“Shall we contact him?”

Hessen’s words shook my head. To say that, it was clear that nothing really came.

Well, he wouldn’t even remember my face properly.

“That’s enough. Just go.”

“Yes, we’re ready.”

Following Lord Hessen into the carriage.

When I looked out the window, it snowed before I knew it.

Is the season already winter?

It seems that the years have passed more than I thought. after being so busy.

“Sir Hessen, how long has my father been unconscious?”

“I think it’s been about two months.”

“Already like that.”

It’s been two months since Leon went.

“Did you make an appointment?”

“Yes.”

“Okay, let’s get rid of the nobles one by one.”

There is no other way but to use force.

I didn’t want to do this.

“And how’s the preparation for the banquet going?”

“Yes, it’s going well.”

“That’s.”

I cleared my breath. I had to stay alert.

“But I’ve wanted to ask you something since before, miss.”

I nodded at Sir Hessen’s words.

What is it that you are so curious about?

I waited quietly for him to open his mouth.

“That, the ribbon tied to your wrist.”

“Ribbon?”

Oh. I was doing it without realizing.

Maybe because I was wearing it every day, I forgot it even existed.

“I wonder why you’re wearing it. It doesn’t even go well with the dress, but you always wear it.”

“I see.”

Why did I keep doing this? There’s no Leon either.

However, I couldn’t take it off. Somehow it felt so empty that I couldn’t help it.

I won’t have to face Leon, so I think I can leave it for a while.

I fiddled with the ribbon for no reason.

But I couldn’t take it off.

* * *

I looked still at Delther in front of me.

When I came to the cafe where I had my appointment, there was an uninvited guest. It’s my first time meeting a big help in person, so I paid a lot of attention to this…..Of all things!

“Sir Hessen, stay still.”

Then I whispered low to Hessen.

“Let’s send letters to each family. I think we should push the meeting here for now.”

“Yes, my lady.”

I don’t think I can meet people anywhere else now.

‘Because I have no luck’

It looks like things are going to get messed up.

Seeing that I’m facing that unlucky person.

I sighed as I looked at Delther.

“I gave you a warning the other day, not advice.”

“Then I ask. What were you going to do here?”

Delther, standing in front of me, stood with his arms crossed.

“What brings me here? What would you do with a man? It’s a date.”

“Date… You? With the duke?”

Delther turned his head and looked back.

‘I didn’t expect the big hand to be a Duke.’

I knew now that the big hand was a man, but I raised my hand casually and smiled.

“Did you think I didn’t have a man?”

“Well, I was.”

Why are you doing this to me?

The back of my neck was numb with bewilderment.

“Can you stop talking about nonsense and go away? I don’t want to be disturbed.”

I turned my head to Delther.

“Otherwise, would you like to go on someone else’s date with me? You don’t seem to have anything to do.”

Don’t tell me you’re going with me? He’s a big hand that I met.

“Do I look so free?”

“Yes, you’re following me around, right? Of course, it looks that way.”

Delther frowned at my words.

Indeed, in recent years, the emperor’s orders have led to unwanted tailings.

But there really was nothing surprisingly catchy.

“Do you really have a feeling for me, Your Highness? This one, like a stalker.”

“I’ve felt it since last time, but you must be very crazy.”

“I would have said I would bite if you touched me.”

I looked up at Delther in front and grinned.

“Well, looking at the clothes, I think you’re right. Since I’ve been invited, shall I accept it?”

Huh? You crazy man…….

Delther walked skillfully toward the table.

Sigh. It seems that today’s work has turned out well.

I was forced to hiss at the Duke of Sen, who was looking at me.

‘If you say something unnecessary…….’

That’ll complicate things. No matter how big the Duke Sen was, he had to deal with it so that there was no back end.

I feel like I’m playing all the villains because of Edgar.

This kind of threat was not a problem now.

“What are you doing? I’ll have tea.”

At that moment, I scratched my neck because of Delther looking back.

“Yes, I go. I have a bit of an itch in my throat. Hmm. Is the air bad? Oh, it’s because the guy who stopped the air came.”

“What?”

“I didn’t say anything.”

I shrugged my shoulders and sat down at the table.

* * *

For a moment, the silence flowed between the three, and Duke Sen opened his mouth.

While drinking tea, he secretly looked at the crown prince.

“The war is longer than I thought. What do you think, Your Highness?”

Bottemiro Jan Sen.

Duke Sen knew he was good at business because he had a lot of money.

I didn’t know such a person would be a big informant.

Oh, my father knew, and Lord Hessen knew.

“I’m actually going to be there soon.”

The crown prince is going to war? That’s not good.

That would make it difficult for me to get a clue.

“Oh, I see.”

“By the way, I didn’t expect to see a Duke Sen here.”

I narrowed my brow and asked.

“You’re going to the battlefield?”

“Yes, is there something wrong? Of course, it’s something I have to go to.”

“Yes, but why are you leaving now?”

Interest was written in the face of the duke with the war of nerves between me and Delther.

“Well, the emperor must believe in His Highness Delther.”

“Of course, he is.”

Delther laughed at the words of the Duke of Sen.

That’s funny? If he was, he would have sent him right away.

The reason he said go now and go was probably because he was worried about the safety of Princess Janice.

I looked at Delther with my chin clenched.

I wanted to rip off that fluttering mouth.

You must have known that my father didn’t wake up.

“Did you say that the Crown Prince had special powers?”

“Well… yes.”

“The Princess has divine healing power. What power does the Crown Prince have?”

“Why do you ask that?”

“I’m just curious. The imperial family could threaten the nobles.”

“No way.”

“Right? No way.”

Delther avoided my gaze. It must be uncomfortable.

I’m sure it’s because you did it.

I asked, leaning closer to the table.

“What abilities do you have? Not even included in the war. Did you come to see the Crown Princess?”

“I can’t believe you’re curious about Janice’s safety. Oh, are you curious about that guard?”

The Duke’s eyes were wide open at the story of me and Delther.

‘Oh, dear. I’m in trouble if anyone else finds out about Leon.’

If they find out that Leon is a man under a curse, neither our family nor Leon will be safe.

Above all, it was a big weakness for me, who cares about Leon.

Fortunately, Delther will not be able to talk about anything else.

If I open my mouth, both the royal family and I will be in trouble.

“He’s not a guard because he left the house. He’s just a person who stayed for a while.”

“Really? That’s strange. You seemed quite close.”

Sen’s eyes narrowed at Delther’s words.

“Oh, it would be rude to the Duke of Sen, who I’m meeting now.”

Oh, you don’t have to worry about that?

It didn’t matter because we weren’t actually meeting. However, I tried to act because I couldn’t be suspicious.

“Oh, Duke Sen is not so narrow-minded.”

I can’t believe I’m acting like a couple.

I chuckled a little on the arm of Duke Sen.

“That’s a relief, then.”

“Your Highness must have never been close to anyone.”

How dare I call it such a close relationship.

I shook my head gently with a sad look on my face.

“Your Highness should have good friendships too. I heard you’re still not on good terms with Princess Janice?”

“Me?”

“Yes, you only got angry when you stayed at my mansion last time. Or are you worried?”

“Lady Elle Natasia.”

“Are you angry? I just said what I saw.”

Delther’s hardened face made me feel refreshed.

I closed my eyes with a smile.

“Ah, since you’ve made a relationship with us this time, it doesn’t mean you don’t have friends” 

“Do that”

“Shall we? I thought you were going to tell me something interesting. It’s boring.”

Delther raised his eyebrows at the constant provocation.

“Oh, so that’s it. You’re thinking of coming with me.”

“What are you talking about?”

I tilted my head to one side.

“Where he’s going, that’s where I’m going. Where there’s someone, you’re curious about.”

“Thanks for telling me, but I’m busy with the family business now. You know it well, right? Who made it this way.”

“The emperor ordered it, so if you have any objections, tell me directly.”

“Well, that’s it!”

Ha. I couldn’t even laugh at the absurdity.

I felt the corners of Delther’s lips, who were looking at me, soaring without end.
