CH 115
“What are you talking about?! I definitely saw it. It’s the Crown Prince’s aide, Marquis Owin Harbert!”
“The silhouette is Baron Duncan! The one who serves Grand Duke Hyacinth.”
Kyle’s brow furrowed. Exactly from the word ‘silhouette’ was uttered.
He asked slowly, clasping his hands.
“Did you not see the face?!”
“That is…”
The two men looked at each other and hesitated for a moment. Then the redhead said,
“Actually, the meeting itself is top secret, so none of us saw the actual face.”
“Right.”
Kyle responded with a darkened expression. Then, the pink-haired guy quickly said,
“But I’m correct. You can pay the information fee to me.”
“What are you talking about?! It was Duncan!”
“…….”
The eyes of ‘Marquis Winston’, who was known to be upright but inflexible, sank like a swamp.
He had dark green eyes as deep as hell; it seemed like if someone stepped on his toes, their neck would be pulled off.
The two chattering men shut up and looked at him in surprise. The mood changed in an instant, and the marquis looked like a different person.
Chalak.
Then, in the blink of an eye (he didn’t even notice that he pulled out his gun), Kyle muttered, pressing down on one of their temples with the dangerous magic gun he pulled out.
“Information fee…”
“……!”
“……!”
The two people who have lived as assassins felt it for a moment.
Ah, this guy…
It might not be just rumors of ‘Marquis Winston’.
All around, Winston’s shields stared down at them.
Just that alone, the redhead felt like his life would be ‘f*cked’, so he hurriedly said,
“Well, that’s the information fee. If you spare my life, I will leave and keep silent forever.”
“To let a dog that used to work for dirt live?”
Bang! Bang!
Red blood splattered across Kyle’s cheeks.
He commanded, rubbing the bloodstains with his leather gloved hands.
“Investigate Owin’s and Duncan’s alibi. Find the person who was in El Dorado at the time.”
In principle, the aide should take care of the master where the master is.
If either was in El Dorado at the time, there was a high probability that he was the culprit.
Kyle quietly patted his chin and fell into his thoughts.
What kind of bastard would do such a thing?
━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━
The red lips were wide enough to simply swallow.
“Heinrich…”
“Sister.”
Heinrich came a little closer to me. I raised my hand and ruffled his hair.
His eyes curved. As if he could feel the touch vividly.
I looked into his eyes and whispered softly.
“There’s nothing sweet…”
As if he was drunk, the tails of his lips rose. He answered.
“How about ‘something sweet that I used to eat’?”
Sook—
I put the candy into his gaping mouth.
“……!”
‘Oh, I got hit.’ A look crossed Heinrich’s face. ‘It’s very desirable, really.’
That was not a sleeping face at all, Heinrich’s.
He wasn’t even sleeping, but he laid next to me secretly and played tricks.
Heinrich said, slouching his shoulders like a droopy cat (while still sucking candy).
“Doesn’t it work? I’m handsome.”
It’s too much of a problem.
If even 1g of me had been biased towards him as a man rather than my younger brother, I would have become a dangerous beast.
‘All women are wolves, Heinri.’
I drew a line strictly, pointing my index finger.
“You are prohibited from entering my room by secretly using magic.”
“…That’s too much.”
“You are not allowed to lie in my bed without permission.”
“…There are too many bans, Sister.”
Of course, all these were forbidden.
Heinrich got up and sat down, taking my hands and bringing them close to his face.
―He was so handsome that he looked like a work of art.
With a sincere face, he said,
“I came in to comfort you because you looked tired. I was so worried.”
“…….”
“And do you think I will do anything to you? I’m safe.”
The second statement sounded a little less sincere.
I replied, patting him on the shoulder.
“Don’t worry about me.”
Then I clenched my fist tightly.
“I will not leave Gerard alone for my mother’s sake.”
Vengeance and purpose could make people stronger. It was, of course, sad to say goodbye to my mother, whom I had barely managed to find.
But, even if I cry and cry, nothing would be resolved. Now was the time to chew on the deep wounds in my heart and use it as fuel to move forward.
“I am stronger than you think. And I’m not saying this because I’m afraid you’ll do something.”
“……?”
‘I told you, Heinrich.’
‘All women are wolves.’
“…So, don’t lie down in that outfit anywhere else.”
‘Another ‘bad sister’ will giggle and catch you!’
It was then.
A knock on the door was heard. The knock sounded polite yet urgent. As soon as I allowed it, Victoria showed up.
She looked at Heinrich, who had come in without a mouse or a bird knowing, and appeared wary for a moment, then she spoke when I nodded to signal it was okay.
“Duke, it is said that the Crown Prince has fallen.”
“……!”
Sislin?
━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━
I headed for Sislin in a heartbeat. Heinrich didn’t want to go with me.
“Isn’t he still alive? Tell him to invite me to the funeral when he dies.”
“And if he looks at my face, won’t he get sicker? I’m helping him by asking you to go alone.”
I understood those words to some extent, so I ended up going to the crown prince’s palace alone. As I came in such a hurry, I stopped in front of the door to catch my breath.
“Annette… no. Tell them that the ‘Duchess of Valienne’ has come.”
It was my first move as a duchess.
I was still awkward, but fortunately, I had already learned all the basic etiquette in the Forest, and I was usually quick to adapt.
After a while…
The heavy door that had been firmly shut opened.
“I will go in alone.”
I shook off the escorts and went inside.
Owin greeted me at the entrance and bowed politely.
“I am the Crown Prince’s aide, Marquis Owin Harbert, Duchess Valienne.”
“…Hello. Is the Crown Prince okay?”
I spoke as I looked towards the bed. Owin pointed his palm towards it, as if asking me to confirm it myself.
Sislin was lying on the big bed.
He was completely undressed, and cold sweat was running down his back. As though unable to bear the pain, the muscles twitched following the harsh breath he exhaled.
“…Was he injured by the sword in a banquet hall?”
‘I’m sure they said he was okay…’
I was told he grabbed the sword with his gloved hand and was only slightly injured. For Sislin, a wound like that was lighter than a bite from an insect.
Above all, Sislin told me never to come.
Due to his request and Victoria’s persuasion, I had not been able to visit Sislin.
‘I should’ve come earlier. I’m sorry.’
At that time, Owin answered.
“No. It’s not because of that, His Highness is not feeling well.”
“Ah.”
I had no idea. I couldn’t respond.
At that moment, a harsh, stern voice came from the bed.
“Owin Herbert.”
“……!”
Owin’s face shriveled up and he looked at the bed. Sislin wiped his wet black hair with a large hand, raising his eyes.
“I told you to call ‘no one’.”
Annette was particularly included in that ‘no one’, but Owin pretended not to know.
‘The Crown Prince doesn’t know anything about dating. I’m here to help.’
Well, he only retorted inwardly. Owin then said with a brazen face.
“I thought Duchess Annette would be an exception. Because she is special.”
“…….”
Annette looked very upset at the fact that he was trying to hide his pain—
“…….”
Seeing that weak rabbit-like face, Sislin softened his terrifyingly hardened eyes.
“Owin, get out.”
“Yes.”
As if Owin had been waiting, he went out like the wind (bringing all the servants along with him as he went out).
Naturally, time for just the two of them was made.
“You look very unwell, Your Highness.”
‘Where does it hurt?’
‘Why didn’t you tell me?’
When I touched Sislin’s arm for a moment, his body temperature was very hot. I was startled and took my hand away.
“…….”
Red eyes looked closely at Annette’s face.
Her cheeks were redder than usual, nervously bitten lips, and eyes filled with tender concern.
Badump, badump.
The sound of her heart was loud in his ears. The delicate sensations tormented him, but one thing was good.
‘I can hear you entirely, Annette.’
Even the pulsating sound in front of him was lovely. Terribly so.
“Are you worried?”
He parted his chapped lips. Raising his heavy body, he managed to lean his back against the bedhead.
Damp black hair covered his eyes. A clear gaze was directed at her through it.
Annette replied, breathing calmly.
“…Of course I’m worried. Did you take any medicine?”
“…….”
Even in the horrible pain that swelled in his stomach, Sislin thought sincerely.
—It’s pretty fun to be sick.
Because he had her concern and comfort.
Sislin took her hand and kissed it softly.
With unshakable red eyes, he whispered to her.
“Feed me.”
“The silhouette is Baron Duncan! The one who serves Grand Duke Hyacinth.”
Kyle’s brow furrowed. Exactly from the word ‘silhouette’ was uttered.
He asked slowly, clasping his hands.
