“Koo!!”
“…Okay, did you know?”
I am now being dragged somewhere with my arm bitten by an owl.
If you just let go of your arm and fly away, it will follow you vaguely, but if you keep biting it, your arm slowly hurts.
“I’ll follow you on your own, so go first!”
“Koo!!”
So he swung his arms violently and got nervous, and the owl tightened its beak even harder and started flapping its wings.
After all, he’s smart enough to understand people’s language because he resembles his owner, but he seems to be a very tenacious guy because he resembles his personality.
“…this guy.”
“Coo, cuddle!”
But I felt like my arm would fall off if I went on like this, so I started tickling the inside of the owl’s feathers.
“Kuuuuuuuuuuuu…!”
Then the owl twisted and released my arm and started staring at me. After all, this guy’s weakness seems to be tickling, even now.
“…I’m going on my own?”
With that thought in mind, I glanced at the owl, and he glanced at me once with a disgusting expression and sat down on my shoulder. It seems they are trying to spy on me.
“…Would you like some sweets?”
“Coo.”
Having rotated my free arm once, I picked up the sweets on the table next to me and held them out to the owl.
Then he turned his head slightly with a sullen expression on his face, and when I put a cookie in his mouth, he started eating with a look of helplessness.
It was so cute like that, I thought as I gently stroked the owl’s head.
‘…Should I raise an owl too?’
I like animals very much.
My favorite animal is cats, but I like all kinds of animals other than cats.
Because it’s okay to do good deeds to animals.
In the previous episode, the evil that had to be done to make the warrior’s armor run wild, and the false evil committed now, ‘animal’ is not relevant.
So, when I got tired of doing bad things, I tried to comfort my heart by doing good deeds, such as stroking kittens or healing wounded beasts.
That’s why I have quite a lot of desires for pets. Later, when everything is over, I plan to raise a black cat that closely resembles the doll that Kania gave me…
“Coo!!”
“…Ouch.”
After a brief pause and contemplation, the owl got nervous and bit my finger.
After staring at the owl for a while, I started hurriedly putting my back on my back and hastening my steps as he shook his head and spread his beak.
“…Oh, Mr. Frey! Are you meeting here?”
However, while passing the central hall, someone grabbed his arm.
“Aww!”
“Hey?”
It was also the part that was bitten by an owl.
I turned my head slightly annoyed, and Isabel was looking at me with a bright smile.
“By the way, what is this owl?”
Dressed in an overly flashy dress, she tilted her head and started reaching out to the owl, who frowned and jumped over the shoulder opposite me.
After all, he seems like a good person to cover up people.
“…Sorry, I’m a little busy right now.”
Anyway, I tried to speed up my steps because I didn’t know if the owl would eat my arm if I wasted time, but Isabel stopped in front of me and opened her mouth with a smile.
“I didn’t know Silver-haired Confucius would be so romantic.”
“What?”
“I’ve been longing for you for a long time… Is there a woman who won’t fall for you when you say such romantic words with that face?”
“What did you say…”
“It was like seeing a knight on a white horse who appeared to rescue the princess from a crisis. It’s really cool, Mr. Frey.”
I looked at Isabelle who was talking with an ecstatic expression on her face with a pathetic expression, and then I turned around and tried to pass her…
“Have you seen all the young girls blush before? Oh, of course, they’re still blushing. Look over there.”
Suddenly, she stopped in front of me again, and pointed to the young girls who were talking in the distance.
“How do you feel?”
“Okay, get out of here.”
Slowly, the owl that was sitting on my shoulder started to stare at me, so I was about to leave, sweating in a cold sweat on my back, but Isabel suddenly smiled coldly and opened her mouth.
“Then why are you a princess?”
“…..?”
“Why am I a princess who doesn’t care and all I have is her filthy personality and appearance.”
“…ha.”
My patience had reached a limit because of her constant frustration, and the lid was finally opened.
“Well, like I said before, tastes can be unique. By the way, we asked you to dance together last time? If it’s okay, now…”
“You’re inferior in personality and appearance to the princess, aren’t you?”
“…yes?”
So I spoke with a cold expression on her face, and Isabel began to make a shocked expression on her face.
“No… I don’t think it’s necessary to compare yourself to the princess. You have a dirty personality, a poor appearance, and you don’t even have a concept of chastity?
“Wow, what are you talking about… my appearance is… enough to be mentioned as the empress…”
“…under.”
As I looked at her, who started to stutter in embarrassment, I added.
“…why can’t I even beat my butler with my looks?”
After I finished speaking, I turned my back and she started to scream.
“I knew that…! Are you playing with that old woman…? Are you proposing to the princess on such a topic? Spread this fact to the family’s intelligence so that all the people of the Empire will know…! “
“…Let’s go together for a while.”
“What, what?”
But soon the Imperial Knights appeared and grabbed her arms, and Isabel began to look around the knights in bewilderment.
“You, what are you guys? Don’t you put this on?”
“…This is the order of the 1st Prince. If you resist, we will use force.”

Eventually, she began to struggle, but as the knights grabbed her arm even tighter and talked about the prince, her complexion turned blue as if she had been stabbed.
“Come on, wait a minute! I think there’s something misunderstood… Crap!”
However, the knights did not care for Isabel at all, and in the end, she was dragged to the knights with a soulless expression and began to shout.
“F, Frey! Is this what you did? Last time my stomach hurt for a few days, and this time too! It’s all you did!”
As I gently drank her livestock, I moved and Isabel looked at me as if to kill me and started screaming.
“I will curse you!! I will curse you!! I will definitely show you a Jailbreak…”
“…noisy woman.”
However, she was soon struck in the back of the neck by the knights and fainted, and she began to be dragged limp.
“”……..””
And the people who glanced at her for a while, turned their gaze away and started talking among themselves again.
‘…In such a case, the image I made from the old days is very useful.’
There was quite a bit of commotion, but the reason people don’t take it that seriously is because I’m involved in the incident.
No matter how nobles are fond of incidents and gossip, they do not pay much attention to political problems involving me and women or violent incidents involving the children of nobles because they happen like meals.
Because of that, there are quite a few villains who have been removed without my knowledge.
“Coo!”
As I was thinking about it, the owl tapped my face with its wings and let out a stern cry.
“…are you going to do extenuating things?”
“Coo!!”
When I asked, who understood what Yongke was saying, he opened his eyes and started to nod his head.
“Mr. Frey? Wait a minute.”
Thanks to you, I smiled and gave the owl one more cookie and I was on my way, but someone called me again.
“Ha… Really, who else this time…!”
Thanks to that, I turned around with annoyance, but the real power of the Empire was in front of me.
“…I see another sun of the Empire.”
“Nice to meet you.”
He hurriedly changed his expression and greeted the Empress, where she greeted with a sharp smile and started clapping her hands.
Then the servants who were waiting in the back came up to me and handed me something.
“what is this?”
“It’s a sign of my little sincerity.”
“…but it doesn’t look like it’s that small.”
What she handed was a blank check.
“I’ve heard good stories from children.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
After trying to hide her embarrassment and answer calmly, the Empress began to speak with a smile on her face.
“Even though it was a little embarrassing at first, I’ll do my best to help you, since we’re on the same side, right?”
“…thank you.”
“If you need anything other than this, please tell me. I’ll take care of it as much as possible.”
“yes.”
I was trying to end the conversation with her by answering as briefly as possible, but the Empress suddenly erased a smile from her face and said with a smile.
“And, next time, if something like this happens, would you like to discuss it in advance?”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
If it were everyone else, I would have trembled at the aura emitted by the real power of the Empire.
“…Well then, bye.”
The Empress, who looked at me slightly dissatisfied, disappeared with her attendants.
“It’s boring.”
I was already tired of these political maneuvers or psychological warfare, so I sighed and shook my head, and the owl started pecking me on the shoulder with an irritated expression on my face.
“It hurts! It hurts!”
“Woo!!”
In the end, I put both hands and feet on the owl, and after using up to the mana of the stars to erase my presence, I started heading towards the place the owl pointed to with my wings.
‘…maybe, this time, even the emperor will not meet?’
.
.
.
.
.
“Are you here?”
“Coo.”
Fortunately, there was no encounter with the emperor.
As I heard later, when Serena broke in during the meeting, the emperor burst into laughter once more and burned all of his year’s worth of passion into a groggy state.
Thanks to that, for the time being, it seems that it will be the era of the Empress.
‘…Selena down location selection.’
Anyway, I was not caught by the emperor, the young girls, or my drinking friends, and I arrived safely at the place led by the owl, and in my eyes, the beautiful lake was shining in the moonlight.
“…By the way, what about Serena?”
“Coo?”
However, I couldn’t see Serena who should be there, so I asked the owl on her shoulder, and she shrugged her wings and tilted her head.
‘Did you go out to find me yourself?’
I frowned, wondering if the road had crossed. Suddenly, something started flashing in the grass in the distance.
Thanks to that, I leaned over, nervously, and began to approach the grass.
It may seem like nothing, but when you meet Serena at this point, you have to be careful about her family, even if you are careful.
“…Meow.”
“What? Is it a cat?”
But in front of him was a black cat.
Thanks to you, I was sweeping my chest, and suddenly I felt a smirk behind me.
“Coo!”
I was frozen for a while by the wind, but as the owl on my shoulder flew backwards with a welcome expression on my face, I could recognize the identity of the person behind me.
“You’re making me wait a long time.”
“…Selena.”
As she was staring at her in a cold sweat, Serena suddenly began to radiate the subtle mana of the moon from her body.
“Meow!”
Then the cat from behind climbed up the tree after losing its tail, and Serena saw it and said with a smile.
“…I drove out the thief cat. Did I do well?”
“Yes…”
Black magic remained in the place where the cat disappeared, so I realized roughly how this had happened, and I began to turn my head and avoid her gaze.
“Are you, kid?”
“What?”
“Why are you being so childish? No matter how many scenes you show me, I can tell you’re not sincere.”
“……..”
Then, after hearing Serena’s words, I started to come up with a hypothesis that I had been thinking about before.
‘…maybe, have your memories been erased?’
Obviously, Serena is one of the ‘main heroines’.
In other words, the memory of the previous episode was inherited with an unknown penalty.
So, under normal circumstances, she should have been plotting to kill me by now, or had already killed me, or at least hated me.

Even though she tried to reincarnate me to the end, she hated me and cursed me for the last moment.
But, far from hating me, she’s trying to rehabilitate me somehow like in the past.
“…let’s go for a walk.”
“Yeah, let’s walk.”
Read at https://noblemtl.com
Even ‘absolute obedience magic’ is at stake. Are you still walking along the shore of the lake with me without questioning my words?
“…Selena, look at me for a second.”
“yes.”
In the end, unable to bear the frustration, I used the ‘mind reading’ skill while looking at her.
“…ah.”
And in the next moment, I could realize what it meant to turn white in my head.
[Selena Luna Moonlight’s Current Emotion: Love/Worry/Hate/Anxiety]
Apparently, she really seems to have lost her memory.
and…
‘You really have truly loved me.’
“…Frey? Is there anything floating in the air?”
While holding back the emotion of clenching her teeth, Serena suddenly opened her eyes and began to reach out into the air.
“I think you’re looking at the square plate that has formed from here to here… If you look at the trembling of your eyes, it’s probably opaque and has text written on it…”
“…Oh, no.”
As she hurriedly took her eyes off the system window and shook her head as she tried to guess my system window with a curious expression, she sighed and asked a question.
“So, what kind of magic are you using this time?”
“…What?”
“What evil are you trying to do?”
When I frowned at those words, she looked at me with a worried expression and continued.
“You have to share it so I can hide it or do a back work. Please tell me.”
“…done.”
As I skipped over her words and moved slowly, she followed me and started talking.
“Fray, something’s wrong with you. For some reason, you look a few decades more exhausted than the last time I saw you.”
“It’s probably my fault.”
“No, it’s not my mood. The slight tremors of the muscles, the deformation of the eyebrows, and the shape and tone of the expression that somehow changed…”
“Stop doubting about it.”
As she hurriedly ordered her to dig in dangerously deep, she nodded and quietly began to walk out.
“…Look at that, isn’t the moonlight so beautiful?”
Read at https://noblemtl.com
Eventually, she stopped in the middle of the lake, and pointed to the moon shining in the sky in the distance.
“…I hate the moon.”
“Don’t lie. When you were young, they said that the moon was the best among the sun, the moon, and the stars.”
I spoke to Serena in a low voice, but she immediately rebutted my words.
My favorite memories are those of my childhood, but at times like this, it’s really sad.
“…and, you said you hated the sun the most.”
While she was smiling so bitterly, Serena suddenly opened her eyes sharply and started shooting at her.
“But what happened this day?”
“that…”
“You are proposing to the princess by writing an oath to the princess in a place where the nobles who are said to be the imperial lords gather.
“……..”
She had such an angry expression on her face, but when I couldn’t say anything, she relaxed her expression slightly and opened her mouth.
“…if the Moonlight family didn’t have an oath, it would have been really bad.”
“Selena.”
“You said one year? A grace period?”
I tried to say something, but she cut me off and continued with a sad smile.
“For a year, I’ll do everything I can to get you to change your mind.”
“I…”
“Try and try, I will make you look at me again before the year is up… and your heart will come back.”
After saying that, Serena came up to me without having time to say anything…
– Churp.
kissed me
“Even if it means nothing to you who are experienced…”
After such a long time, Serena slowly opened her mouth and said with a soft smile.
“…because this is my first time, remember it for the rest of my life.”
I clenched my teeth looking at her like that, and then I closed my eyes tightly and gave her a command that must be done.
“Selena…”
“yes?”
“…don’t love me.”
I finished the command with the pain in my heart breaking, but I got a response I never expected from her.
“You don’t like it?”
“What?”
As I stared blankly at her as she responded with a straight face, I hurriedly started giving orders again.
“You don’t love me?”
“How do you do that?”
“Then don’t worry about me.”
“I don’t know how.”
While she was sweating at her continued rejection, Serena opened her eyes and started asking questions.
“Why are you saying things like this in imperative terms? Are you brainwashing me?
“Forget everything I’ve ever said in command line.”
I felt the system window flickering in front of me and gave the command urgently, and Serena nodded and started staring at me blankly.
“…If you know anything about the ‘weakness’ of absolute obedience magic, please explain everything. I only know a rough guide.”
When I asked her about her questions, Serena nodded her head once more and started talking.
“The weakness of absolute obedience magic is that it cannot give orders that can cause damage to the subject it obeys. It’s because I put such a restriction on purpose… The related magic tricks…”
“…to there.”
Understanding why this had happened, I took a deep breath and gave her an order.
“Don’t be so sure about everything related to me in the future.”
“…All right.”
If you do this, Serena will not be threatened with a penalty. This is because the system penalty is only activated when you are ‘confirmed’.
However, having committed a grandiose act today, I will sooner or later endanger her life in ‘another way’. Of course, not because of her will, but because of the will of the ‘family’ to which she belongs.
The ‘absolute obedience magic’ hanging on her, if my guess that all of this was Serena’s work is correct… It’s probably a system, but it’s highly likely that it’s hanging in consideration of its will as well.
So, from now on, I have to figure out a way to save Serena’s life while… the Moonlight’s persecution of her, and the curse of the system that curses those who care about me…
“…I’ll give you the love letter next time. I got mad at the end of my head earlier, so I decorated it.”
After thinking for a while, Serena spoke with a shy expression on her face, then waved her hand to say goodbye.
“Well then, bye.”
After saying that, Serena turned to the carriage waiting for her in the distance with a light smile, and I looked at her for a moment and then turned to the carriage waiting for me on the other side…
“Oh right.”
I heard Serena’s voice from behind, so I stopped walking and slowly looked back.
“i love you.”
Then, Serena, who was receiving the soft moonlight, smiled broadly and pulled out the words she had always told me.
Seeing her like that, I smiled bitterly, turned my head again and started moving, but…
“…maybe?”

Eventually, when he heard a sound from behind, he stopped and took out the letter he had been holding in his arms until then.
– I’ll see you soon.
Ps. I love you (maybe?)
[Selena Luna Moonlight]

Eventually, I read the contents again with the light of the moonlight illuminating me and her, and then I muttered with an absurd expression on my face.
“…maybe, have you calculated this far?”
Looking back, I think my fiance is a genius among geniuses.
.
.
.
.

– Serena. Do you know what you did now?
“I’m sorry, but…”
After such a long day, the dawn came.
– How dare you use the oath of the imperial family and the Moonlight family without consulting them, even for Frey…
“But, that’s the only way…”
Serena, who was riding in the carriage, was talking with someone using a communication crystal ball with a painful expression on her face.
– The royal family of sunrise is the sun that brightens the morning of the empire, the duke of moonlight is the moon that softly illuminates the night of the empire, and the duke of starlight is the star that protects those who have not yet received the light.
“Yes, I know.”
– This balance has been around for 1000 years. However, the evil direct descendant who appeared in the Starlight family for the first time in 1000 years is trying to break that balance.
Serena heard those words and started speaking urgently, sweating.
“He, but… I made a new appointment with him today, head of the house. So, if you give me time for just one year, just one year…
– Today, Frey abandoned you and proposed to the third princess. At that point, the opportunity given to you is already over.
“…
However, when the headmaster’s cold words flowed from the crystal ball, Serena closed her eyes, and the headmaster gave her the cruelest order ever.
– Kill Frey Laon Starlight as soon as possible.
“…yes!?”
– All the heads of the Moonlight family, who secretly guard the night of the Empire, agreed.
“But I…!”
At those words, Serena panicked and started screaming, but at that moment, a magic circle began to appear all over her body, and Serena began to tremble with her eyes full of fear.
“aa!!!”
Read at https://noblemtl.com
Eventually, as the magic circle shone, Serena began to scream a terrible scream, and the cold voice of the head of the family was heard once again from the crystal ball.
– Don’t forget that the curse of ‘family subordination’ is on you.
When those words were finished, the crystal ball went out, and Serena, who had been trembling for a while, began to mumble quietly.
“Still, I… can’t give up on him…”
Grasping her fading consciousness, she tried to speak calmly, but just before she collapsed, she struggled to add words.
“…maybe.”
After saying those words, Serena eventually lost consciousness and collapsed, and the carriage of the Moonlight family began to take her to the Sunrise Academy.
