“Is it today?”
When I looked in the mirror and looked down with my chin up or tilted my head, wondering which expression would upset the other person more, Luna, who was touching my clothes next to me, nodded.
“that’s right. It’s the day you have an audience with Princess Seria.”
“I will try to infiltrate Arman’s mansion and talk to him.”
From noble mtl dot com.
Taking over Luna’s words, I took my eyes off the mirror and smiled at Zero’s reply.
“Zero, it’s okay if you fail.”
“I don’t know if it was before, but now those words make me more persistent. You must have done that on purpose. You are successful.”
I glanced away slightly at Zero’s words, smiling as if thanking him for setting him on fire.
No, I really could have failed… … .
Actually, subtly, it’s because I’ve seen Zero since the beginning, and now I know that I’ve definitely developed my traits and become quite strong, but I still sometimes think of hiding behind my back, not Kane, when I just came out of the labyrinth.
His size has grown so much that it can’t be compared to him, but he still looks like a child who doesn’t know anything about the world.
“Wait, by the way, is there anyone streetwise at our party?”
I muttered a question I suddenly had and looked around the room.
Luna subtly avoids her gaze, and Zero smiles, saying that it is not her. Leaf, who barely remembers 1,000 years ago, is normally expressionless, while Kane… You man, I know for sure, but look at my eyes so confidently?
And Rachel… … .
“What, why what? ha really you need to know that Whether it’s a human, an elf, or a dragon, they don’t know much about things outside of their own interests. uh?”
Now that I think about it, I was lucky to somehow entice Fayan to be on my side, really.
Look at the level of the main party, including me who is not from here at all.
The main party I chose, I have to endure with evil, really. and.
At least, Payyan has a lot of basic common sense as well as miscellaneous knowledge, and now he is stepping up to the information industry little by little, so that’s where he will lean from now on, there.
“Great, anyway. What kind of appearance should I go for?”
“Isn’t it okay to be Gamur?”
When Zero cleared his throat and asked, I answered, sitting on the table with my butt hanging.
“Certainly it is. Maybe because I maintained my male body for a long time, the female body is a bit rough.”
“Originally, doppelgangers have no gender.”
“There are physical characteristics I prefer, though.”
Well, it’s hard to say with certainty what the reason for Zero was, but it wasn’t that he swallowed someone’s body whole, it was his body that was fixed after training in Starlight Well.
“Okay, then to Gamur.”
At that time, Luna opened her mouth after seeing Zero smiling, saying that thanks to being pushed so hard, she could properly copy Gamur’s movements and fighting style.
“It’s fortunate that the two escorts didn’t let me accompany them this time.”
“If that’s the case, I won’t go even if I die. There was the last time, but if you had a conscience, you wouldn’t have said it so openly.”
He said he had no conscience.
When I received a message asking me to come around and come without an escort, I insisted that it was absolutely impossible to go around, and in the end, the messenger gave me permission in a nutshell.
―I’m sorry that I didn’t seem to be particularly helpful in the capital city. manager.
“Me too, Bocchan.”
While looking at Luna and Leaf, who couldn’t understand how the two could communicate, I reached out with both hands and stroked their heads.
Also, Luna pulls her ears a bit.
“What are you talking about? Even just being by my side gives me great strength.”
And there is a separate stage specialized for each original unit.
All-weather units like Kane are rare.
It’s just that this ecliptic was too harsh a place for those whose race category didn’t belong to humans.
I tried to organize it myself, but I talked about the unit. But now, after patting and petting Luna and Riff, who were like my family, I turned my gaze to Rachel and Kane.
“By the way… Can I trust you?”
Zero will infiltrate Arman’s mansion. Luna and Leaf will wait in the dorm and support the escape after joining in the worst case.
In the end, Kane and Rachel are the only escorts… … .
After disappearing for a while to see what he did, when he came back, Kane, who said he would annihilate all humans at the words of a wish, and Rachel, who couldn’t know anything other than violence and taste in his head.
‘I trust them… I have no choice but to.’
Although he has flaws in his personality, it cannot be denied that he is the best.
“Huh? what the. If you don’t trust me and that monster, who are you going to trust?”
Now, in front of her eyes, she openly stamped Kane’s side with her finger and said that Rachel was a monster.
“However, we are not responsible for any unforeseen accidents.”
“Is that what the escort would say? You man, don’t even think about fighting the guards, assuming any misfortune, really. Let’s just breathe and come out. uh? Rachel, you too.”
“madam… Too bad.”
Get mad at full power and fight these two.
I shook my head as I looked at Rachel, who was pouting and pouting.

“No matter how many times you think about it, you made a really good choice.”
As Arman’s adjutant put his monocle on his face and said, Armand rested his chin and tapped the quill on the paper.
The black ink was imprinted, and a very small dot gradually spread into a larger circle.
“is it?”
“Aren’t you watching the siren frenzy blowing through the capital with your own eyes?”
In addition to the monopoly on such precious objects, I was even told to wear a back pocket with the permission of the original producer.
At the words of the adjutant, Armand dipped a blunt-tipped quill into the ink bottle and ran through his silver hair.
“So that’s what I mean. In the end, no matter how much I read the contract, I had nothing to lose, so I signed it.”
I don’t know what the hell Adelian wants and is showing favor to him.
The most careful thing to do when dealing with someone is unreasonable favor.
Even if you are young, you know it well. It’s because the Namhae Islands are teeming with pirates and scheming and trickery.
“The more I read about him, the more questions I have.”
“Are you talking about Prince Adelian?”
“Even if that is the case with the outside world. Even the things behind the scenes that you found out after pouring a lot of money into it are a mess.”
To the point where he doubted whether the person Arman saw that day was really Adelian.
Perhaps the only thing that Arman had in common with the document he was reading was his appearance and his terribly arrogant atmosphere.
The only shame and stain on the Kruger family. Adelian, who is arrogant, cruel, stupid, and who is synonymous with incompetent aristocrats who have nothing but bloodline, and Adelian, whom Armand saw and understood with his own eyes, are very different people.
‘What is my intention?’
In any case, the alliance was formed. So I don’t know if some people still think it’s pointless to worry about it.
The fact that an alliance has been established means that we must make an effort to not turn our backs on each other for the rest of our lives.
And that depends on how well you understand the other person.
To those who don’t like sweets, don’t put it in your mouth, saying that everyone likes sweets.
Even though we may not be able to do good things for each other, we should avoid pretending to do bad things because it is the mindset that those who hold hands should have.
‘Then, is that all we have to conclude about Adelian?’
that you are bending over yourself.
No matter how much I think about it, it’s really stupid, but it’s because the conversation flowed without being blocked, and the eyes that I often saw were not those of a prodigal who fell in love with cinnabar.
“… maybe you’ll find out later When I do my job.”
Normally, I might just consider it as the greatest luck of my life and enjoy it, but from Arman’s point of view, it really feels like Adelian has a debt in his heart.
‘He acted as if he knew my temper.’
The moment I was about to get up and organize my messy thoughts.
The moment Armand’s adjutant grabbed the doorknob to bring him a glass of wine before going to bed, the two bodies stopped.
“… … .”
We couldn’t say a single word to each other.
Even though Arman’s lieutenant was an Auror user-level skill that doubled as a close escort.
Fear as if stabbing the most fundamental instinct as a creature before discussing the high and low of strength.
The moment when one wrong move of a finger or one tongue makes this space that seems to be filled with thin ice shrink once.
A feeling of being swallowed alive by something.
‘This… … .’
I’ve experienced something like this once.
When he opened the arena, invited Adelian, and shot himself to test him.
‘But compared to then… … .’
At that time, if it was the fear of standing in a space where a snake-like thing was coiled.
A more primal fear than that now.
At that moment, the cold sweat that seeped from Arman’s body ran down the bridge of his nose and fell to the floor.
“This is how we meet.”
I heard someone’s voice.
However, Arman held his breath for a while, unable to open his mouth to someone’s voice, at the instinctive warning that even his body would not be left if he lifted one wrong finger, even though his body was not paralyzed.
A light floral scent. He wore a black robe and covered his face and toes, but he was tall and tall.
The shape of the hood near the ear is very subtly distorted.
‘Elf?’
“About you… I heard it through him.”
Awkward pronunciation, as if mimicking someone else’s voice and manner of speaking.
‘Did you use an artifact that changes your voice or tone to hide your identity?’
First of all, the fact that he started talking meant that he had the intention of having a conversation with himself.
That’s why, unlike before, when he held his breath in the silence and felt fear, Armand slowly spoke with pale lips.
Like a child who has finally been able to speak, he spat out the words slowly, with a stubbed tip of his tongue.
“… Who is it.”
A soft, white hand approached Arman’s copper-colored neck, stopped at a distance of half a fingernail, and slowly descended.
Then, as if to crush the collarbone, the figure in the black robe answered slowly as he squeezed his shoulder.
“We… … .”
* * *
it’s a sad face
Seria giggled at her nanny.
“Why are you so sullen, Nanny? huh? Sometimes just looking at my face makes me feel full and happy.”
I decorated it so pretty, won’t you laugh at me? Saying that, Seria grabbed the hem of her dress and made a big turn.
An appearance like an angel who has just descended in mythology.
Wavy, honey-colored blonde hair and dark eyes shaped like carefully crafted amethysts.
In addition to her rosy cheeks and soft skin, she even has a beautiful figure with a white dress embroidered with gold thread as a point.
Even the violets adorned one side of her hair to add vibrancy to her because she thought it was too beautiful to look alive.
“The only thing I can do today dressed up like this is… It’s like that. What’s the point of meeting that crazy Adelian?”
She opened her eyes wide as if she was unfamiliar with the nanny’s voice, then covered her mouth with both hands and smiled brightly.
“Oh dear. The nanny told me before.”
The more hostile you are, the more beautiful and noble you are.
Dare to tell me that you are in a situation where you can’t help it.
“That’s right.”
“but… If you go to a prom looking like this, there will be a lot of wedding invitations right away.”
It would be nice to bring a fairly decent one among them in the form of a son-in-law.
At her words mixed with sighs, Seria’s purple eyes lit up coldly.
“Nanny, am I alone? Because I am perfect, there is no need to bring someone to be by my side considering their usefulness.”
There are aristocrats who regard marriage or engagement as the biggest task or the highest value in life, but Seria herself was different. It’s okay to get married or not to get married.
From noble mtl dot com.
Rather, if I become the emperor, I should have several bureaus to balance the continent like my father now, but there is no need to do that right now.
Of course, even so, Adelian could not forgive himself for spreading dirty rumors about him.
If something dirty was buried, he himself would have to pay back to some degree to get it off.
“Then I’ll be there, Nanny.”
“Bye. Princess Hwang Tae-nyeo.”
Seeing her waving her hand at her, Seria smiled brightly.
