Leon went to the place where he disposed of Delther’s knights.

There were some things that didn’t work properly, there were also expectations that Delther would show up.

“Hmm, were they dogs abandoned by their owner?”

He felt sorry for them.

I wanted to see Delther’s desperate gaze, but I couldn’t even see his nose.

However, someone appeared as I was watching while hiding with a feeling of wonder.

‘It’s not Delther.’

They were very good at hiding their presence. I couldn’t even notice them unless I was a sensitive person.

Leon’s eyes were coloured with interest and the corners of his mouth rose upward.

“It’s not Delther, but Edgar’s shadow.”

Should I have taken care of the traces?

Edgar might have noticed right away. Because he has suspected my power.

I clicked my tongue briefly and stared at the shadow’s action.

“They were brutally murdered.”

“Go report to Count Edgar. I’ll look into it a little more and go.”

“But, El, it seems dangerous. This guy seems to have acted without hesitation.”

“Then I’ll stay with you and take a look.”

“Okay, then, El, find out as soon as you can and come back.”

They split up quickly. Leon sat cross-legged and watched the situation.

What should I do with them?

I couldn’t touch them because it was Edgar’s shadow. But I don’t want to stay still.

Sitting on the roof, he looked at the diligently moving shadow, and was lost in thought.

‘I miss Elle.’

I can’t believe I’m thinking about Elle even in this situation. I laughed at myself, but what can I do?

“Ah, she keeps me from thinking about anything else for a moment.”

Maybe God really hates me. Leon rose from his seat and frowned at the person he saw in the distance.

There’s no way he won’t come.

He is not the type to hold back his boiling anger.

Leon didn’t want Edgar’s shadow to face Delther. Well, they won’t get caught.

Just in case, let me help them a little.

He quickly approached the shadow. Of course, covering his face with a mask.

“……That’s pretty good. You’re the one who did this –“

“If you remember me, we’ll be in trouble, so let’s forget.”

Leon reached out and covered the shadow’s face. Without time to counterattack, the shadow’s body drooped.

“Who is it?”

El quickly rescued his comrades from Leon and fell off.

“Oh, I’m in trouble if you try to run away like that.”

“I want to ask you what you’re trying to hide.”

“Everything you’ve seen now. You have to forget that you even saw me.”

“……Didn’t you show up from your hiding to tell me who you are?”

“Ah, it has to be done because Delther is coming over here.”

Leon’s hoarse voice scattered in the air. His black eyes swept through El and looked behind him.

Only then did El turn his head.

“Oh, my.”

As the man before him said, Delther was coming this way. Without erasing his presence.

This meant that he would not hide his existence, and it was clear that he would not let anyone he encountered here be comfortable.

“I don’t have time, so I want you to understand even if it’s rude.”

Leon knocked El on the back of his neck and knocked him out.

Supporting El’s body collapsing to the floor, he quickly got out of there, holding up the other fallen guy.

Meanwhile, Delther arrived at the scene and quickly scanned the surroundings.

“Someone was already here and left.”

I still felt an indelible force. I didn’t know the dogs I released would die so horribly.

“Find him now.”

“Others are searching fast.”

“He took their breath away at once…… At his rate.”

Honestly, if anyone had this power, it would have caused a great stir in the empire.

Isn’t it a greedier power than Janice has.

Perhaps it was a force that threatened the royal family.

Delther felt his head hurt a little more.

This is unexpected.

“Report to His Majesty immediately – noif you did.”

My position will be smaller. In the end, isn’t this because of me?

I threatened Edgar’s life, and as a result, the current situation happened.

Above all, I couldn’t figure out how my father would react to it because it was a selfish act.

Therefore, Delther dug his own grave.

His eyes flashed as he hit the wall.

“Jenice, where is she now?”

“The Princess is now at the annex.”

“Report now, no,  I’ll go right away so you take care of these guys on your own.”

“I will proceed with your orders.”

At Delther’s words, the knight nodded with an uptight face.

Somehow, there seemed to be a wind of blood in the palace. Because when he looked into his eyes, he didn’t look perfect.

* * *

Janice bit her nails with a look of nervousness.

“Where’s Delther?”

Perhaps he followed the Count and killed him. No, he’s not that crazy.

But Delther’s eyes came to mind as he left my room.

His dogs are dead……. I couldn’t believe it. Who has the power to do that?

At that moment Janice remembered a man.

“Leon.”

He must have done it. My heart was stifled and choked.

How did he know even though I didn’t tell him? He was definitely my companion, and he was meant to be.

Nevertheless, why do I feel like he’s walking on a different path?

When Leon couldn’t resist my lips and accepted them, she had a hunch.

Oh, God is on my side.

It seemed to me that no matter how hard he struggled, he would love me.

“And yet I’m nervous, I’m so scared.”

I thought he would be my strength. But what if he’s not?

So how can I find a way to live……. No matter how hard I think, there was none other than Leon.

Because the only person who would get me out of this hell was Leon with his power.

When Janice had finished thinking, she tried to leave the room immediately. She has to see her father.

I had to tell him who my companion was and the power he had to bring him into the royal family to win.

“……What’s wrong with this?”

There was no movement when I pulled the doorknob. With a crumpled face, I felt something was wrong.

“Is there no one outside?”

“…….”

Janice’s body shuddered in the creepy silence.

“Oh, no. There’s no one out there?! Open the door! Open it!”

She knocked at the door with all her might.

Thump, thump, thump, thump.

No sound escaped outside, to the extent that Janice’s full force carried by the thick door was overshadowed.

“I’m scared… I’m scared.”

Janice sat down, wrapping herself in her arms.

Her whole body trembled and her eyes became dark.

“No, it’s all right.”

I have power, too. Janice produced light from her hands.

The panic gradually subsided by the warm yet calming power. Her expression, which had been stained with anxiety, soon changed to calmness.

“I won’t lose it.”

No matter what happens.

Janice approached the window and opened it wide.

She felt much better as the wind slowly scattered her hair.

“Yes, it’s all right. I have this.”

She smiled at the gold pattern on her wrist.

It’s a night where she misses Leon, especially today.

Janice, who barely climbed on the window sill, then quickly jumped off and landed on the floor.

“I think I know where he is.”

Because I’m connected to him. That’s why Leon must feel the same way.

Janice strolled through the garden with a lighter step.

* * *

At the end of her walk, there was Leon.

A bright smile spread over Janice’s face, who found him.

On the contrary, however, Leon’s face was distorted and contempt was slowly established.

“Ha….”

Janice grabbed Leon by the arm and led him into the alley.

I don’t know if she’s fearless with where she is.

Janice saw the blood scattered all over the floor, but she didn’t show it. As expected, he did what he did.

The thought made her want him even more.

“Don’t hate me so much.”

“I don’t think the princess knows that touching without the other person’s consent is a crime.”

“We are God’s partners. There’s no way you don’t like it. Besides, you didn’t refuse.”

Leon laughed low at Janice’s words.

“I didn’t refuse…….”

She acted even though she knew I couldn’t resist, and it was abominable.

Does Elle know Janice was like this.

I didn’t understand why she was so violent to me. What she was doing to me now was ruthless from beginning to end.

“You don’t care about my heart.”

“You’ll feel the same way as me anyway. I need you, Leon.”

“Look, don’t be mistaken for a subject sought by necessity.”

Leon didn’t wonder how she found him.

Even if he asks, the answer will be the same.

Fate led me here. She’ll say something like this.

“You’re the only one who can get me out of the royal family.”

“On the contrary, I will be bound like you. Regardless of my intentions.”

“……That!”

“Go back now. It’s annoying to see you face to face.”

Leon glanced around.

Fortunately, Janice found him after Delther disappeared.
