Devil’s Claw, Depth’s Wreck (6)
Meanwhile, in the tavern ‘Unforgiven Alcohol’.
-Rubble, crumble…
Marguerite in the bed was lying there for a long time tossing and turning.
A new morning had already dawned, but her heart ceaselessly wandered about the past.
Long brown hair was scattered randomly over the blanket.
Like a black sheep lost its shepherd dog.
“·················ogue.”
Lying in bed at night and lying in bed in the morning when I wake up, I wondered if this was the life of a poor person.
Even though I had already skipped meals for a long time, I wasn’t hungry.
I didn’t even know I was thirsty, I just had a sore back.
There was no need to speak, and there was no one to talk to, so the room was silent the whole time.
I’ve never been used to this kind of life, but I personally experienced it and it was better than I thought.
“It’s okay” here doesn’t mean that she liked it or that she found a new aptitude.
Marguerite was pessimistic about herself and snorted.
“huh······.”
This one seemed to suit me quite well.
I just wanted to live here from the beginning.
Throw away your greedy desires into the well of the lord’s castle.
If it did, it would definitely be a lot more comfortable than it is now.
I already have a husband, and maybe even a cute child. An unfamiliar territory and a peaceful and simple life.
It would never have been bad. No, maybe it would have been pretty good. As my brother said.
-smart
Then, someone knocked on the door. The princess gave her body a lot of strength and erased her expression.
The guest of Bona Mana must have been Sir Elizabeth Mute.
She was a swordsman known for her tenacity and fear, and at the same time, she was a commander of the neighborhood guard widely known for her fair and fair personality.
Count So seems to have noticed what I was about to do to the Crown Prince.
So the reason she kept herself here was only to save me.
It was the intention to somehow get a confession and live life in prison.

Otherwise, not only will I face a tragic end, but the imperial family, the Dioffs, will also be at risk.
The prosecutor was a very wise man.
But I wasn’t.
-smart
“·················ogue.”
Marguerite silently hugged her knees and buried her face.
He couldn’t speak with his gagged mouth anyway.
Soon, there was the sound of the door opening.
The scent of hot tea and bread permeated the small room.
“Princess Dioff, are you awake? good morning.”
“·················ogue.”
It wasn’t a small count.
The opponent was Confucius Canael, her fiance and the eldest son of the Viscount Calamar.
The princess was even more impressed and remained silent.
I was terrified of the rimless person who pushed me with his sharp words like thorns, but the boy who seduced me with sweet cakes and oily fries was equally uncomfortable.
The Calamar were a family renowned for their faithfulness and tenacity.
Just imagining how Confucius would evaluate me inwardly by now made my breath suffocate and my heart raced.
Cold sweat began to form on his forehead.
“Aren’t you hungry? I asked the owner and got a lot of delicious things. Try one bite. That gives me strength.”
He said as he carefully released the gag of the princess.
Beneath the gentle voice, I could hear taunts and accusations of me.
Marguerite shut her mouth. A familiar headache came over me.
-Dalgrak, moongrabbed
“·················ogue.”
It wasn’t a long life, but I struggled for the rest of my life.
He struggled to become a perfect child and a good small business owner.
I had a lot of time to grind my teeth secretly, so my jaw hurt, and I always lacked sleep.
But the mother, the head of the household, was too busy taking care of her sick father and caring for the estate.
The more I did, the more I believed I had to do better.
-Sureung, Seokeng! Whoops!
‘You are wonderful, Princess!’
After about twenty years of wielding a sword with no talent, it was still at a level that others praised.
I wasn’t satisfied with that.
In order to take the place of his brother, who is known as the world’s playboy, and his father, who has difficulty in mobility, he had to show a thorough appearance in the social world.
We held large and small events as time permits.
She always paid attention to her words and deeds, boasting of her right physique and expensive dresses.
Then everyone praised her.
‘You will be a good wife, Princess Dioff.’
‘Hey, do you see the red-haired Confucius? They say I’ll become a sogaju next month.’
‘I’ve been looking at the princess ever since. I think you’re interested.’
‘Aren’t you handsome? Besides, he’s very wealthy. He even has a bank in his name. It’s not a son-in-law that would undermine the prestige of the duke, it’s nothing.’
…but no one expected that Marguerite would inherit the family.
No one thought she could push her brother away.
It was because he was born only 30 seconds later than Jibril.
Because the older brother has strong mana, great looks, and charisma, the younger brother is not.
Because it’s relatively not shiny.
‘How good would it be for Confucius to marry a princess? To become the son-in-law of the royal family. The family he leads will be even more precious.’
‘Your Majesty will also congratulate you greatly. Obviously, I’m excited.’
I’m trying so hard really nobody.
“Hmm, hmm, hmm♬”
Startle. Marguerite woke up from her thoughts to an unexpected hum.
Confucius with light blue hair was moving gently in front of his eyes, raising the corners of his mouth.
He never rested his hands for a moment.
He poured tea with skillful movements, and cut the plump sandwich into bite-sized pieces.
After the napkin was folded up neatly, the fork and knife were placed neatly.
The princess stared at him with blank eyes.
The boy looked happy the whole time about what was so good.
– Knock, Kick
“Oh, Demi. I’ll peel the tangerine myself later. He said that if I just give it to him, the juice will spill everywhere.”
– What?
“Yes, my lord. please wait for a moment.”
Even though I’m just doing things like that.
“Is that so satisfying?”
“hot! Yeah? Princess, are you talking to me now?”
When a deep voice came out from inside the blanket, Canael turned around in surprise.
When are you talking to someone to take a bite?
It wasn’t weird.
“Isn’t it a chore that anyone can do?”
“What is that…….”
“Isn’t it a chore that ordinary people passing by and even those who do not know how to write can do it? It’s a slap in the face of a dear person. preparing his wash. Holding a clothes stand…”
“·················ogue.”
“I don’t know why you look so happy doing something so common and mundane.”
In the whole world, why is it that only you feel unhappy? I was pathetic.
“uh······.”
Then Canael frowned. Marguerite thought.
The impression that would otherwise have fallen to the floor must have finally reached its worst.
“Umm… I’m sorry, but I don’t understand what you just said.”
“I will. Forget it, this is a lie.”
“No, not that. Well······. It is natural to be happy even if you do ordinary things. I have never imagined anything else.”
The boy scratched his cheek.
Around that time, the black-eared divine beast started climbing on his legs.
Canael smiled broadly and embraced him. Marguerite had a puzzled look.
“It’s not just what I do. I myself am an ordinary person. I’ve never learned a sword like a princess, and I probably don’t have any special talent. It’s not like you’re born with ether or mana. So, as soon as I turned 16, I volunteered as a servant without hesitation.”
“But why…….”
“But it’s not that I’m helpful to special people.”
The golden eyes gleamed brightly. The princess slowly closed her eyes.
“My lord, please always praise me. You always say thank you and tell me how much you are helpful because I am there. My boss, Benjamin-nim, is also very generous.”
“·················ogue.”
“So in conclusion, I don’t think I’m doing anything ordinary. Um, isn’t the front and back wrong?”
The servant smiled bitterly and tilted his head.
His expression resembled Prince Jesse Penetian, whom he had once seen in the Imperial Palace.
He busily finished setting up the table and froze the Shinsoo in his arms.
A voice that was pleasant to listen to was followed.
“I am in charge of the important task of protecting the daily life of a special person. It looks normal on the outside, but in reality it is not.”
“·················ogue.”
“Even very good and wonderful people have normal faces. For example, when I was five years old… I once met a brave prosecutor. He saved the rabbit I was raising from being bitten by a low-level beast. He injured his left hand, and there was a lot of blood. I was shocked at how young I was and cried a lot. But the nobleman didn’t blink an eye and said it was okay and left the room.”
The boy’s eyes looked back to the distant past.
Marguerite suddenly felt envious of Canael for no reason.
“I walked around the mansion the whole time in tears. He was really worried. Then I found the prosecutor on a swing deep in the backyard…”
‘Silly. It’s okay, why did you come all the way here alone? Whining.’
‘But, the rimless princess older sister… Noona is crying too…’
‘I’m sleepy. Now that I’ve been treated, it doesn’t hurt. Call me Elizabeth.’
That was the moment.
Canael remembered the feelings of that moment very clearly.
Elizabeth’s youthful face, when she was only thirteen.
“That was the first time I thought about it. I want to cover this person’s weak spots.”
“·················ogue.”
“This person is going to be the best swordsman in the world, and then I want to be by his side. If that’s too greedy, I want to help him from behind.”
“·················ogue.”
“It doesn’t matter if it’s a shadow. I will become the happiest shadow in the world.”
The boy glared at him dazzlingly. Marguerite closed her eyes tightly.
Her lips trembled, and tears filled with emotions poured out.
Everything was so bad that I couldn’t stand it any longer.
“Black, ugh… uhhh
Now it really felt like it was time to vomit it all out.
The day I pay the price for not listening to my brother and betraying my mother.
“・・・・・・It tastes best when eaten warm.”
Canael spoke kindly and slowly put her back on her back.
Marguerite didn’t resist, shrugging her shoulders, and got up.
Her dry lips trembled as if she wanted to say something.
– Chia
Around that time, Leah, who was quiet, touched the boy’s calf.
Canael looked back as if possessed by something.
“oh.”
“·················ogue.”
His fiancé, whom I don’t know when he came, was standing by the doorway, looking at me.
The large, wide-open gray eyes were wet with moisture.
Suddenly, a single tear fell.
It was short enough to be unnoticeable without concentration, but Canael watched carefully.
And I knew what that meant. There was no need to ask or confirm with anyone.
“Oh my God. Canael, I…”
“it’s okay.”
The boy smiled brighter than before.

Only for his lover.
“Welcome, Elizabeth.”

That evening, the underground black market.
A certain abandoned house at the mouth of the Salt Pillar District.
“Ah, Confucius Heineken! Keep your head down!”
“sorry!”
I tucked myself under the window sill at the back.
At the same time, Mr. Ga-in quickly leaned against the window, and Prince Sedric pulled out his thick neck and observed the alley.
At the same time, a group of advanced warlocks were passing by.
We held our breaths as if we had squeezed each other and overheard their conversation.
The draped curtains swayed in the distance.
-Jump, jerk, jerk…
“Then what about the airship?”
“Of course you should. Isn’t that the heart of our business?”
“Hmm. In that case, the root…”
“Yeah, anyway, the source is…”
– Paaah!
·······But that was all!
They disappeared in an instant and disappeared at the edge of the alley, and now there was no voice, let alone footsteps.
I was sober and raised my head. What just happened?
“Wow, when…!”
“I told you yesterday. The whole area here is enchanted by black magic, so the road changes every day. People just disappear. Warlocks who can cast spells can come out easily, but those who enter with a bad heart will never come back.”
Kina, who was hugged by Ga-in, explained everything.
The group became quiet as if they had poured cold water on them.
-Woo…

Outside the window, an eerie green energy was sobbing.
A dim light like a gas lamp illuminated the alley, while the floors and bricks of the building were all covered with dark moss.
It was difficult to even guess where the land was and where the wall was.
I wiped Willem’s knee and swallowed.
this is really serious It’s like a back alley out of some fantasy movie.
······ Although this is also a fantasy novel for the first time.
“We have two wizards on our side, can’t we just break that magic and enter?”
Ga-in whispered abruptly. Then Sir John made a perplexed expression on his face.
“You two are in 7th and 8th grade respectively, so it’s worth trying, but the problem is after that.”
“You don’t know how skilled you are over there, Princess Pink. It may only cause commotion and certainly not break the magic. Besides, since this place has been around for a long time, it must have swelled up tremendously so far. Lastly, don’t you trust me too much?”
Djibril Dioff smirked.
The title of ‘Pink Princess’ made a wark impression on our protagonist.
The father-in-law also helped with a word.
“There is a possibility that Guk-seo will run away from the chaos. As always, you are short-minded.”
“No, don’t say anything. It seems that Pilsner thinks for a long time and is living very peacefully. Especially with my partner?”
Ga-in shot a horse.
I cut the gap between the two naturally facing each other.
I can’t do it anymore because the kids are watching!
“calm down. There must be some way. For example, Sir John flies around the town and comes…”
“It’s difficult. I don’t know what magic they cast in the air,”
“Because we can’t get away with it in a place like this. Yep.”
I quickly finished speaking. The cardinal stamped ‘Very well done’ with his eyes.
Then what about…
“I came here blindly, but was it too hasty?”
“No, Heineken. Right now, neither data investigation nor investigative investigation is possible. There is no library here. People aren’t friendly either. Except for the babies, everyone is just gloomy.”
“Ugh. Yes.”
Ga-in explained the situation clearly. I nodded alongside the children.
At the library, I immediately thought of Mr. Noe, but this was a black market.
He said that the work here does not leak out in any way.
It was unlikely that he, who was not a wizard, could help us. I’m upset.
“Should I just close my eyes and go inside? To be honest, we are not the kind of people who are meticulous about what we think.”
“I admit that, but this time I have children. Even if I leave it behind, there are a lot of things I am worried about……”
That was then.
“Wow!”
I grabbed Ga-in and the prince and dragged them down with lightning speed.
When the children and Lofi were added, the six became one in an instant.
Fluffy, hard, and fuzzy!
“Serenite?”
“Shh. There’s a red robe right in front of you!”
I whispered almost half air.
Diop, who was hiding next to the furniture in the distance, looked at us with pitiful eyes.
Hey, if you’re out the window, you’ll do the same!
“Looks like a passing twilight saint…”
I slowly roll my eyes and look outside.
“uh?”
Suddenly, a shocking sight came into view. It wasn’t my mistake.
“That’s obviously…”
This is the mask I saw in the green pampas grass field and salt swamp.
