“…Huh.”
Clana, who was bruised and weeping as soon as she saw Frey, was able to come to her senses only when he began to frown at her.
“Hey, this is… So…”
Clana, who hastily wiped the tears from her cheeks with her hands, tried to make an excuse, but couldn’t say anything.
Because he didn’t even know why this happened.
“Uh, uh…”
To make matters worse, this time even his hands start to tremble.
“…it’s nothing.”
Clana, who was unable to do anything because of the unknown symptoms that had been tormenting her for several days, and her heart getting warm for some reason, ended up muttering helplessly on the sofa without hesitation.
“Huh… that was true.”
The 1st princess, who was watching the scene, muttered in a low voice, while Frey asked a question with a sullen expression.
“So, what’s the story? I’m a little busy right now, so I’d like you to tell me sooner.”
“Well, I’m sorry, but I think the story is going to be a bit long.”
The first princess, who answered Frey with a voice that had regained her composure, looked at Clana, who had been engulfed in a weak panic until then, and added something.
“Of course not me, but Clana seems to have a lot of stories to tell.”
“Ha… Then there’s nothing I can do.”
Frey sighed at the words of the first princess, and gave orders to the girls who were lying on their stomachs in front of him.
“I’m playing with Lulu in the next room. The guys who fight know how to starve themselves.”
It was an insulting tone that did not even see the girls in front of them as human beings, but the girls simply bowed their heads with dead eyes.
“Luru, see you later?”
“Hah… yes, yes…”
Frey said with a gentle smile to Lulu, who was following the girls with a pale, tired face, and as they left, he stiffened his face and asked a question.
“So, what’s the story to tell?”
“Ah, that’s right. Regarding this request for support from the Cloud Kingdom, did you know there is a secret meeting held at the birthday party today?”
“Yes, of course.”
“I’m here to tell you where it is.”
Saying that, the 1st Princess looked at Clana, and Clana slowly raised her trembling hand and snapped her finger.
“Oh, come on… just a minute.”
However, because of shaking hands, only a faint light leaked out, but when nothing happened, Clana began to flick her fingers in embarrassment.
“Tit!”
“…This?”
After snapping her fingers for a while, a small canary popped out and sat on Frey’s shoulder, Clana struggled to speak with a calm expression on her face.
“Hey, that bird will show you the location.”
“Okay, you just have to follow that bird. Then, I’ve given you all the information, so I’ll just leave.”
“Are you leaving already?”
The 1st Princess, who had seen the scene, raised her eyebrows and rose from her seat, and Frey asked a question with a bewildered expression on her face.
“Ah, there was a story I was going to tell you… but now it doesn’t really matter.”
Then, the smiling first princess answered with a wink.
“Please keep doing that, Frey.”
“Yeah? What is that…”
Hearing this, Frey still tried to ask a question with a mysterious expression on her face, but the first princess waved her hand and ran out of the room.
“”……..””
And when only Frey and Clana were left in the room, a long silence began to flow.
.
.
.
.
.
“…how are you?”
“no.”
Frey, with a carefree expression on his face, breaks the long silence and asks a question. When I give him an immediate answer, he sighs and asks me again.
“So, what’s the story you want to tell me?”
“First, explain the things about those girls earlier.”
When Frey, who casually asked a question, questioned what had happened before, he said with a brazen expression on his face.
“Well, it’s not obvious. They’re my slaves.”
“Slaves…?”
“No, more pets than slaves. They give you affection.”
Hearing that, I began to speak in a cold voice.
“After a while, there’s a meeting about the slave market… You’re harassing girls my age, treating them worse than slaves.”
“So, you want me to assassinate you?”
When Frey scoffs, my heart heats up again. As always, whenever I think of his voice over the past few days.
‘Again… it’s a start again.’
The hand he hid under the desk began to tremble again. I try to clasp my hands to stop the shaking somehow, but the shaking doesn’t stop.
“It’s a joke, a joke. Why are you overreacting?”
“…I’m not in the mood to be joking.”
Instead of glaring at Frey who was asking questions as if to make fun of me, I raised my voice and shouted.
“You! What did you do to me…”
“Oh, I have a present for you.”
However, when I cut off my words and Frey took the box out of his arms and spoke, no voice came out of his throat like a lie.
“It’s a sign of reconciliation, take it.”
“Hah…”
“Clana?”
After a while, Frey spoke with a casual expression on her face, and I bowed my head in thought.
‘Of course… sure. Frey did something to me.’
For the past few days, Frey’s thoughts have not crossed his mind.
Besides, whenever I think of his face or voice, my heart heats up and my hands tremble.
At first, I doubted that he might have fallen in love with Frey, but he soon concluded that he couldn’t.
There’s no reason to fall in love with Frey overnight, who hated him enough to want to kill him, and who actually wanted to kill him.
Then there is only one answer.
What did Frey do with a grudge against me.
‘Just… he said, “Make me assassinate.” Looking at that, as expected, Frey…’
Could it be that he is aware of my assassination plan and is using the power of the Demon King to retaliate?
No, even if he hadn’t noticed the assassination plan, he had good reason to do this to me.
He was the one who said he would throw me away while playing with me at the last ball.
“Don’t open that box.”
Having concluded that, I said to Frey in a cold voice.
“What?”
“Did you think I didn’t know? The gift in that box must be something that reinforces this gimmick you gave me. Am I wrong?”
Hearing my words, Frey made a bewildered expression.
“Otherwise, why would you give me a present? Tell me.”
“I told you, you want to make peace.”
“Nowadays, does the box given as a gift of reconciliation contain black magic?”
anger rises.
I really hate Frey who is holding out a box with black magic in front of me, so I want to kill him.
My heart keeps racing and my hands are shaking.
It’s as if your brain is telling you to hate him and your heart is telling you not to.
“It’s a gift I got from Kania, so it might be mixed with black magic, take something like that.”
“Don’t lie, did you think I didn’t know you did something to me?”
He held out his trembling hand and said to him, who still had a brazen expression on his face.
“Just looking at you… No, just thinking about you makes my hands tremble. How did this happen?”
“…ah.”
Frey, who heard those words, gave a momentary but bewildered expression.
And at that moment, something inside me cut off.
“Take that box away. I don’t need any presents from you.”
“Does that mean that you don’t want to reconcile?”
“Are you and I a reconciliation?”
Having said that, Frey shrugged and said.
“I knew I could do it.”
“I don’t think that will happen.”
Having said that, I got up from my seat and frowned.
“I hate you so much, Frey.”
“Yeah? I like you.”
“You put saliva on your mouth and you say it.”
“It’s true.”
Then Frey said with a casual expression on his face.
“I don’t know why your hands are shaking, but I didn’t do it. I’m sure.”
“How long have you been lying…”
I was about to explode my anger at Frey like that, but a thought suddenly crossed my mind, so I paused for a moment and started to reflect on the situation.
‘…Certainly, something was strange.’
The bewildered expression that Frey had made earlier was somehow strange.
It wasn’t the brazen or mean face he usually made when he found out about his mistake… he had a genuinely bewildered expression on his face.
And most importantly, there was no malice in it.
Until I handed him a present, he had the characteristic brazenness of doing bad things, but when he just made that expression, he seemed to be worried about me like back then…
‘Wait, like back then?’
As I continued to think, I stopped thinking for a moment because of a word that suddenly ran through my head.
What is this like back then? Did Frey ever worry about me? No, there is a reason for that in the first place…
“Anyway, you mean you don’t need this gift? Then, just leave.”
“Until the end… Aren’t you going to tell me what you did to me?”
“Well, I didn’t do anything.”
Having said that, I looked at Frey with a confused look as he beckoned me to leave with a tired expression on his face.
“Are you really not going to take this?”
As I grabbed the doorknob and heard Frey’s voice from behind, my hands finally began to tremble again.
“Blood, I don’t need it. A gift from you.”
In the end, trying to hide the commotion, I answered in a cold voice and quickly left the room.
“Okay, have you ruined your relationship with Frey?”
“…Huh?”
However, as I left the room, someone covered my face with a veil grabbed me and whispered in a low voice.
Thanks to that, I looked to the side in amazement and was able to recognize her identity in no time.
“Roswin?”
“Looking at your expression, it looks like you’ve ruined it.”
Having said that, Roswin winked and began to whisper in a low voice.
“Then, I’ll start the operation from now on.”
“Gee, from now on?”
“Of course, we have to do it now. A broken heart is easily swayed by even a small temptation.”
After finishing speaking, Roswin smiled and started heading towards Frey’s room.
“Come on, wait…!”
“Hmm? Why?”
Looking at her like that, I called her up without realizing it.
Why am I doing this?
“Oh, no… No, wait. So…”
“Fufu, don’t worry.”
As I scramble, Roswin raises an eyebrow and says to me.
“I’ll take Frey away from you perfectly.”
Having said that, Roswin opened the door to Frey’s room and went inside naturally.
.
.
.
.
.
“Uh, uh…”
Clana, who had been staring blankly at the tightly closed door, began to wander around the door impatiently.
“Why are you doing this… Why…”
I closed my eyes and tried to meditate, took a deep breath, and even ripped my nails, but my anxiety never went away.
“…Ugh!”
Clana, who had been restless for a while, immediately started heading somewhere hurriedly.
“Row, for Roswin’s safety. Frey might cross the line.”

Eventually, Clana arrived on the veranda of Frey’s room and began to resonate with the golden canary that had been sitting on Frey’s shoulder earlier.
The canary that Clana summoned was a skill that had never been shown to Frey until now, because she was summoned without anyone knowing during her lonely days and used to talk.
So Clana, convinced that she would never be caught, immediately connected her sight and hearing to Canary and began to check the situation in the room.
“Fray, why are you crying so much?”
“No, it’s just… I have something to do.”
Clana checked the room and frowned slightly when she saw Roswin placed her hand on Frey’s shoulder and asked a question.
“Is it possible that Clana-san was kicking you?”
“No… it’s not like that. I was just trying to reconcile…”
“Is this a reconciliation gift?”
As Roswin tilted his head with a cryptic expression on his face, Frey said with a sullen look.
“Roswin, would you like this too?”
“I’m fine. If it’s a gift, I’m unconditionally welcome.”
“…if you get it, you should date me?”
Roswin’s eyes twinkled as he spoke, and Frey looked up at her with a smirk.
“How about? Will you take it or not?”
“………”
“I’m joking, joking. Next time I visit the information guild, I’ll give you a better gift, so then…”
“…please.”
“What?”
After waving the gift box in front of Roswin’s eyes, Frey, who was about to put the box in her arms again with a gloomy expression on her face, began to look embarrassed when she received the gift box.
“Come on, wait. Why are you giving me my present…”
“Huh… It’s quite luxurious wrapping paper? It must have been hard to find.”
After a moment of incomprehension stopped Frey from saying something, Roswin praised the wrapping paper, and he began to smirk.
‘I, that box…’
Clana, who watched the scene, murmured with a pale expression as Roswin began to reach for the box.
‘It must be dangerous…!’
Inside that box, you could definitely feel black magic. So, opening that box puts Roswin in danger.
“Well, if you open it…”
Clana, thinking so, tried to control the canary that was connected to her urgently, but when the sun’s mana did not come out because of her hands that started to tremble again, she turned back with a pale and tired face.
“Oh my, what is this?”
“Uh… that’s what…”
Clanna, who was about to head to Frey’s room, anxiously biting her nails, unwittingly bit her finger when she saw what Roswin had taken out of the gift box.
“Did you prepare this… for Clana-san?”
“No, it’s just… it’s on display in the front of the flower shop… And how can you touch it…”
“Are you lying in front of me? You’re cute.”
What came out of the box wasn’t a chunk of black magic, a spell scroll, or a cursed necklace.
“However, it’s a canary flower… and yellow, so the intention is too obvious.”
It just contained yellow canary flowers.
“…uh?”
Clana watched the scene blankly through Canary’s gaze, who was sitting on Frey’s shoulder, then muttered in a trembling voice.
“I can’t do that, can’t I…?”
It was at that point that Clana realized that something was wrong.
