At the count’s cry, the princess’s amber eyes slightly widened. She turned to the knight.

“Is it true, Sir Davery?”

“Is there any way to do that?”

The knight shook his head.

“It was a real mistake. It’s a pity the count doesn’t believe it.”

“This, this thing! Applying saliva on your mouth and telling lies…….”

“Stop.”

The princess stepped forward. She opened her mouth in a determined voice when the count hesitated.

“Doesn’t he say that it was a mistake, Count?”

“It’s a lie. I’m sure that bastard……….”

“And it’s not really good to hear someone talking rudely to someone else’s family knight.”

The count shut his mouth. He had nothing to say about that.

“……I was rude. But Princess, I’m sure the knight, no, that article, must be….”

“Count.”

The princess shook her head. She even breathed a sigh.

The princess, who cut off the count as if she didn’t want to hear it, added.

“Be generous by overlooking other people’s mistakes. Like I did, I overlooked Count’s mistake.”

“That’s…”

Count Suena was speechless.

‘I can’t believe she’s talking about a slip of the tongue in the parlour room.’

If his opponent came out like that, he really had nothing more to say.

It’s like, “Shut your mouth because it’s a mess”.

When the count was silent, the princess turned away.

“Then please understand that. Sir Davery, don’t stay here, come on. We’ll be leaving soon.”

“Yes, my lady.”

The blonde knight followed the princess with a twinkle of a smile.

The combination of an upright lady and a white tall knight who steadily followed such a lady seemed like a pretty ideal picture, but the Count looked at the back and honed.

‘That scumbag, that bitch, they’re very……….’

Count Suena managed to swallow nausea that had climbed up to the end of his throat.

‘Be patient, be patient.’

He is now enduring this humiliation because what is in front of him should not go wrong.

if all of a sudden, she changed her mind. He just had to stop the princess from reversing her decision, saying, “I don’t want to go to the kingdom.”

‘Hoo-hoo. Yeah, I’ll be generous for now. They’re going to die soon anyway.’

The thought of it made him feel a little better.

Count Suena recovered his composure with the pain in his foot that gradually faded away.

It was then.

“Well, Count.”

“…what is it?”

It was some servant. The count lowered his voice as soon as he checked his opponent’s whereabouts with his side-eyes.

The servant held out something he had brought with him.

“What the hell is this?”

“It’s crutches. My lady asked me to bring it to you thinking that you might have difficulty walking because of your foot problems.”

“Then.”

The servant with his head bowed out back down. The count accepted the wooden crutches and trembled at the stand.

After a while, his inner cries and curses that had not overcome his anger were all over his mind.

***

If you cross the northern border of the Hayden Empire, you will be directly connected to the southern forest of the Kingdom Viroz from then on.

The place to deal with the princess was the very southern part of the forest.

Count Suena looked out the window, feeling the sway of a tiresomely rattled carriage.

The endless thick woods caught his sight.

The count’s brown eyes sank darkly.

‘At this point, there will be an attack soon.’

He clenched his fist.

‘Finally.’

The tip of his mouth twitched.

‘Finally, they’ll be dead at last.’

Even his snort came out a bit rough.

About ten days, the count’s resentment toward Princess Lydia grew even greater as she left the duke’s residence and moved to this place.

The reason was simple.

‘You dare to ignore me?’’

Because at the very moment the Count had been ignored by the princess several times.

In particular, the majority of the neglect was made when they crossed the forests that occupied the northern part of the empire.

After entering the northern woods, until they completely passed through there, if the Count said something, the Princess always answered, “I’m thinking, don’t talk to me.”

At first, he tried to understand.

‘Yeah, I’m sure she has a lot of thoughts.’

It must be quite complicated to go to see her birth mother for the first time in her life.

He thought so, so he tried to embrace and move on.

But the count couldn’t stand his anger anymore as such a damned disregard lasted for days.

‘She dared to insult me. I won’t let it go.’

They’re going to die anyway, but he’s going to let them die more difficult and miserable.

‘This goddamn grovelling is over now.’

How long has it been since the count thought so?

With the sound of a horse crying, the carriage suddenly stopped, followed by a loud noise outside.

“Whew, what a bunch of them!”

“Argh!”

“Watch the carriage! Guard the princess and the count!”

“Protect the princess!”

“What the hell are you…… Aahh!”

‘Okay.’

The Count’s eyes glistened.

The plan went ahead. The sound sounded smooth. He calculated in his mind.

‘The princess brought five guards from the family. Even though it’s a well-selected knight, you can’t do anything with that number. This is also by no means normal.’

In this plan, it was the queen’s direct guard that was put into the role of attacking the carriages.

They, whose face is unknown to the public, whose duty is only to support the queen inside and outside the palace, were, in short, a group of monsters that gathered from the most prominent talents in the kingdom.

Count Suena saw one of them slashing dozens of soldiers effortlessly before.

He couldn’t stop watching from afar, but his mouth was watering.

‘There are twelve such monsters. Honestly, even if the Duke of Widgreen comes in person, it won’t be easy for him to deal with them.’

Of course, he confirmed that the Duke of Widgreen would remain in the mansion when they left, so he would never show up here.

The count held back his humming. There was no hole in the plan.

All he has to do now is take care of the ball after the work is done.

Then there was a voice beside him in bewilderment.

“Count, what the hell is going on?”

Count Suena looked sideways. A flash of conflict flashed through his eyes at the moment.

‘What should I do?’

Now there was a pill in his bosom that could make one fall asleep right away.

Feeding this to the princess was originally the last of his mission.

However, the Count wondered if he should use it to take his opponent nicely.

Even if he just hits her, knock her out, drag her hair or carry her around, he will complete his mission.

“I have to go out.”

While agonizing, the princess reached out to the carriage door.

The count said quickly.

“It’s dangerous, Princess. There’s a raid.”

“A raid?”

“I think we’ve been exposed to the rebels. They were after the princess before.”

“Th, then what do we do now?”

“You don’t have to worry. I’ve already asked for reinforcements in advance to prepare for this. They’ll be here soon, so we’ll have no problem if we just hang in there until then.”

“… can they hang in till they come?”

“It’s all right. They’re the elite knights of the kingdom and the Duke family. Trust me.”

The Count then took the pill out of his arms. It was two.

‘Yes, let’s just put her to sleep. If she’s asleep. It would be quite fun to see her seeing someone she believed standing there trying to kill her.’

“And Princess, take this. It’s not great, but it will take care of your anxiety. It is my favourite stabilizer.”

The count pretended to swallow the first pill he had put in his mouth.

Then the princess, who hesitated, put the pill into her mouth.

After a while, the princess’s head bent weakly. And at the same time, the carriage door opened.

“Is it over?”

The Count raised his gaze. The man, who had his face covered so tightly that even his eyes could not be seen properly, looked at him.

‘The Royal Guard.’

Count Suena quickly nodded, spitting out the pills he had hidden inside his molar.

“I just drugged her.”

“Yes.”

“Outside…”

“It’s already cleaned up.”

At the words, the count got off the carriage.

Surely, not surprisingly, all but the bodyguards dressed in the same clothes as the men were lying on the floor. It was a terrible pile of dead bodies. The count gulped down his saliva.

‘There must be the blonde knight between them, too.’

Count Suena quit while trying to search through piles of dead bodies with his feet. The damage to the bodies was so severe that the mere sight of them made him sick.

At that time, a man came out from the inside of the carriage holding a princess. At that point, the Count suddenly noticed that the number of members was insufficient.

“One, two… wait, why five? Didn’t twelve of you decide to come?”

“The rest were killed in action.”

“What?”

The count hurried back to the floor. Indeed, some people were pretending to be in a pro-defence force between the bodies.

“My, My God. You don’t think that’s the Duke’s knights? How did they…”

“It’s just the weak ones who are behind in the mission. Don’t make a fuss. Take off your pitches and retrieve them.”

“Yes.”

The Count closed his mouth.

“He’s cold.’

The captain will be by the king’s side, so this man must be the commander of the Self-Defense Forces, the rumour said that he is lacking personality.

“Stop chattering, move. Lead the way.”

“I, I see.”

The count climbed on the horse that the Self-Defense Forces had dragged. Looking back, he could see the commander of the Self-Defense Forces carrying the princess in his arms and climbing onto the horse.

‘Why is he holding her so dearly?’

The medicine is so effective that she won’t wake up anyways. It’d be fine if he just handled it.

They’re asking for a sword, and there’s an article about it.

The incinerator twitched the lamp. It’s nothing but a target to kill. I don’t know if it’s Lady until I’m behind.

‘I heard that some skilled knights hold their sword dearly, maybe is this like that too?’

Count Suena shrugged and kicked the horse’s back.
