134 – My dear 1
Cazeros and Blood riding a wagon
If you look at it simply, it could be seen as a relationship between a princess and her escort, but Cazeros knew about it.
Circumstances, the fact that the blood in front of her was not only following her as a pure escort.
Although she didn’t express it openly, she already knew something about it.
The fact that the other day, Blood and Soul went somewhere after receiving orders from their mother.
In addition, it means that it ended up failing.
‘I don’t know the exact inside story… but it’s obvious where I’ve been in the same situation as now.’
A mother who had expressed fierce opposition to her love.
There was no way he could stay still while watching himself, who had a subtly radical tendency, not give up until the end.
He must have planned to go to Bohemia, where Santana is, and plot something.
Fortunately, the overall situation ended in failure, and now that the Dragona Empire had formed a cooperative relationship with the Bohemia side, the mother’s reason to openly oppose her had disappeared for now.
However, even so, Cazeros was well aware that carelessness was still prohibited.
Although, according to Emperor Roseveta’s decision, official hostilities were banned for now. He was still a duke who was dissatisfied with the relationship between himself and Santana.
It was very likely that such a person, as her closest aide and a 10th-class archwitch, had moved Blood, who could wield tremendous force, and that she had assigned a separate mission.
‘I don’t know what it is… but I can’t forgive it if it’s related to Mr. Santana’s safety. I’ll stay alert and stop it for sure.’
Cazeros once again made up his mind in that way.
On the other hand, while watching such a ‘young lady’, the person who was entrusted with escorting her.
In a way, Blood was feeling as much tension as she did.
‘This trip… is it really okay? Of course, it’s not like the last time I’m outspoken, but…’
Blood went back to Bohemia following the orders of its owner, the Duke of Catlena.
This time it wasn’t a covert raid like the last time, and the mission itself was officially sanctioned.
However, despite this, the tension and anxiety that Blood was feeling at this moment was rather heavy than before.
‘If I go there right now, I have to stay for a while because of my work.
The person she fears the most in the world and the number one person she doesn’t want to face if possible.
The fact that he had to go to a place where such an existence existed and stay there for a while forced Blood to act as an enormous mental burden.
‘In my heart, I absolutely wanted to avoid this kind of mission, but even the situation doesn’t allow it…’
First of all, as a subordinate of the lord, there were some things that could not easily refuse the master’s order, but honestly, even if that was excluded, Blood had to voluntarily participate in this journey as an escort for the lady of Cazeros.
Although she usually seemed to have a bad relationship, Cazeros was nevertheless the youngest daughter of the lord.
In order to escort such a person, either oneself or the soul would inevitably go, but there was a very high possibility that trouble would arise.
First of all, unlike himself who secretly disappeared, Soul was literally a body that attracted a lot of aggro against the soldiers of Bohemia.
Even if she was somewhat hidden in the dark, maybe some of the soldiers might recognize her.
In that case, it was best for Soul to stay away from Bohemia for a while, since the previous raid could cause problems.
In addition, in addition to this part, Blood was in a situation where the soul should not be sent for personal reasons.
If Soul meets ‘that person’ there…
This would violate the order she had given her to make sure no one knew she was here.
Furthermore, as there was no way to not report this to the Duke of Catlena due to the nature of the soul, things would really go out of control from then on.
‘From that point of view, it can be considered fortunate that Soul was busy training Freddy or something, but…’
Feeling ironic about the fact that I’m relieved that I’m doing something I don’t want to do…
Once again, Blood began recalling the orders she had received from the Duke.

“So… Please look behind Lady Cazeros. You mean that?”
“Yes, as you know, the shock the child will experience right after going there must be quite great. If that happens, it will probably cause problems in dealing with things normally.”
Looking at Blood with an anxious expression on her face, Duke Catlena spoke in a serious voice.
“Even though Cazeros started this and it was led by that child, it is no longer limited to just her. Since it is a contract between countries, it is necessary to resolve this matter clearly, regardless of personal feelings.”
Violation of contracts between countries was a serious blow to the creditworthiness of that country.
It is impossible to distort such a thing because of personal feelings.
In that respect, Blood was also thinking of taking care of this with his own hands on behalf of Cazeros, which would sooner or later fall into chaos.
‘I don’t really like getting involved in politics like this, but for now, I’ll have to deal with it as it’s my job.’
Fortunately, there are very terrifying but still collaborators out there, so the risk can be reduced to some extent.
So, while thinking about the future, Blood began to feel bitter looking at this poor princess in front of his eyes at this moment.
‘You really like me without knowing anything.. You don’t even know that you’ve been tricked, just inflated your expectations…’
Seeing her like this, Blood suddenly felt like it was someone else’s story.
That’s right, she too. It’s because I’ve experienced being betrayed by a man I once loved.
‘Because of this, men are beings that cannot be trusted. I was also a fool who fell in love without knowing that, but…’
While thinking about that, Blood momentarily thought that it would be a good idea to tell the truth to this princess in front of him in advance.
However, in this regard, she could only shake her head.
First of all, there was a request from the owner that it was necessary to take this opportunity to learn the horrors of the world at least once.
In addition, even if Blood said this, there was a high possibility that the little princess in front of her would not believe her story.
‘Because from her point of view, I will be accepted as a spy sent by her mother.’
Even if an untrustworthy person told the truth, it was just accepted as a lie.
Rather, it will only increase suspicion and anger.
So, Blood decided to calmly watch the situation while giving up on the exposure.
‘There is no such thing as eternal love in this world anyway. As the duke said, it would be necessary to clearly realize the truth at this opportunity.’
Good medicine is bad for the mouth, but it can improve health.
Even though this work now will be painful right now, it will give the princess who is still in fantasy the eyes to face the reality calmly.
Like that.. in many ways, in the feeling of carrying a large and heavy burden on your shoulders.
Blood began to prepare for her work with a firm mind.
