Puck!
âEugh!â
Sounds good. Is his front teeth broken off? I wish I could get them broken off.
I tried my best to shake off the candlestick, but I donât know if I was strong enough.
âUhâ¦â¦.â
The Lime Extract staggered and covered his mouth. I donât know the well-being of the candlestick, but he looked in painful anyway
I threw out a candlestick that did its job.
Then I took out the invitation that Lime Extract had delivered to me and tore it in half before his eyes.
As if throwing the torn invitation at the opponent, I said.
âTake it and get lost.â
âPri, Princess.â
Oh, his pronunciation seems good. Looks like his front teeth are okay.
I continued my words with regret over the strong teeth of Lime Extract.
âYouâre not leaving? Should I call someone and recite exactly what you just said to me?â
ââ¦â¦â¦â¦!â
Lime Extract only scratched the bottom of the invitation on the floor. Then he turned and hurried out.
I sighed long on the spot.
âLady! Whatâs the matter?â
As if they had heard the uproar, the employees approached and asked.
It sounded a bit loud when I threw the candlestick. I tried to shake my head that it was nothing.
Then Sir Davery showed up with a stiff face, hushing out the employees.
âSir.â
ââ¦â¦It seems you just had a visitor, my lady.â
Sir Davery seemed to have guessed the roughness of the situation just by the scoop that was rolling on the floor.
No, what kind of observer you are!
Of course, the position of the candlestick was too far away to accidentally drop it, and I couldnât have just gone mad by myself and thrown it.
âIâll be right back.â
âNo, wait a minute!â
I noticed Sir Davery was heading for the front door and quickly grabbed his sleeve.
His hard eyes turned on me.
âWho do you think youâre going to catch?â
Youâre going out to get him now, right? Sir Davery answered without hesitation.
âIt hasnât been long since he went outside.â
âBut by now he must be mixed up by other people as well.â
Although not yet, he will eventually run away while Sir Davery is on his way to catch him.
âWhere did you hit with the candlestick at?â
âWhat?â
âIâll check and drag him.â
ââ¦â¦..â
Are you serious?
He seemed to be sincere. I shook my head, grasping the sleeves of his clothes. There was no need to do that.
âNo thanks. You just said it. I didnât just let him go. Heâs been punished enough.â
âBut itâs not enough.â
âDo you know what he did to me?â
Although it was sexual harassment, I havenât told him about it yet. He could have just made a minor mistake.
It would be rather unfair if you were hit with a candlestick for making some minor mistakes.
But Sir Davery was adamant.
âWhatever he did, itâs not enough.â
ââ¦â¦â¦â
âIf you do, Iâll save his life and bring him back.â
You were going to kill him?
I was disturbed to see Sir Daveryâs eyes, which seemed not joking right now.
I mean, he really looks like his master? Why do I think he somehow overlaps with Ash?
No, if you think about it, Sir Davery has shown a similar aspect before.
For example, when Count Suena, who died in the kingdom. He sincerely regretted that he couldnât kill him by his own hand.
âUmâ¦â¦â¦.â
Sir Davery, which I thought of before, is an excellent knight who is gentle and friendly and popular with the people of the mansion.
There must be some parts I donât know.
Suddenly I remembered what Sir Davery had told me before.
He said someone can change their personality as much as they want, according to circumstances
I was going to say it at the time, but maybe what Sir Davery said was himself in mind.
I suddenly wondered what Sir Davery was like, before he came to the mansion, or before I met Ash but I opened my mouth without showing off.
âItâs really okay.â
ââ¦â¦â¦â
âI donât want to turn Sir Davery into a murderer because of such a person. Well, you did say youâd bring him back alive, but anyway.â
I put Sir Daveryâs sleeve down. Then I opened up the crumpled marks.
Sir Davery didnât move a bit in his seat while I was doing that.
Because of the difference in height, I looked up at the person with a sore head and said.
âIâm saying I donât want to spend my precious manpower on such a person. Did you get it?â
ââ¦â¦yes.â
Sir Daveryâs answer flowed a little slower. Almost at the same time as taking my hands off the sleeves.
âOkay.â
All right, thatâs the answer. I smiled with satisfaction.
By the way, I canât use that candlestick anymore, can I? I thought it was expensive. Should I send a bill to the house of Extract Family?
I was so absorbed in such thoughts that I couldnât find the conclusion.
When Bessie arrived a little late, she looked at me and Sir Davery, making a rather strange expression.
After eradicating the sexual harassment offender in the morning, Ash returned home in the afternoon.
Suddenly I thought that Lime Extract was lucky. Letâs imagine, if it was when Ash was there. I canât even stop him then.
In front of me, heâll pretend to let him go first, the next day weâll find the body of a young man who was badly damaged and unidentifiable.
Lime Extract should have regarded it as a blessing that it ended with a candlestick from me.
No way, he did come here for that at the time, right? Taking advantage of Ashâs absence?â
Well, that canât be true.
I got rid of the idea of a Lime Extract that was not worth leaving in my head anymore and met Ash.
But Ash, who had been to the Imperial Palace, was showing signs of annoyance.
I hesitated for a moment at the blatant light that came to his sculptural face.
Wait, I donât think thatâs the first time Iâve seen that face.
âAsh. Did the Imperial Court tell you to go down to the south again?â
My memory did my best in his work. That expression must have been the one that he showed to me when he was going south because of the Special Subjugation.
No, but heâs already wiped out the monsters, didnât he?
âSimilar.â
âSimilar?â
âThereâs a high-ranking official in the Temple of Time who was run away by a wizard. I was told to get that thing back.â
Ash kissed me on the forehead and said, as if saying hello.
Naturally. I blushed slightly and asked.
âWhy does he make you do that?â
âWell.â
âIs it an order issued by the Emperor himself?â
âThatâs right.â
Ash replied, touching my hair. I thought of the talk with the last emperor, leaving my hair gently touched by Ash.
âDonât tell me. Heâs not taking revenge, is he?â
The Emperor who ruled an empire might be so humble, but somehow the image of the Emperor, who was talking about the romantic rival and mentioning that the crown prince had been dumped by me, could not get out of my mind.
âUm.â
I swallowed the thoughts inside. Suddenly, why does it feel like the Emperor is just an old man with a grown-up son?
âHow long does it take?â
I asked carefully. Answers flowed in.
âI donât know exactly, but in the worst case, think of crossing the borderââ
Ugh! That doesnât mean a day or two!
Ash looked at me and opened his mouth, as if he had been so clearly struck by my expression.
âShould I not go?â
âHuh?ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âI donât have to go.â
ââ¦â¦you said it was the Emperor himself ordered.â
It wasnât even through an errand or document, but the Emperor called Ash to the Imperial Palace and talked about it in person.
âIt doesnât matter.â
Ash always says it doesnât matter. I knew this would happen.
If I look at it, it doesnât seem to matter to Ash but me.
â¦â¦I think I got embarrassed and my ears flushed. Mm-hmm. I coughed and opened my mouth.
âItâs okay. Go ahead. âCause I can wait that long.â
âI donât want to go.â
âWhy?â
âI donât think I can stand it.â
Ash let go of my fidgety hair and instead grabbed my wrist.
Then he kissed me lightly inside. The short warmth and itching sensation made my body flinch.
ââ¦â¦what canât you stand? Because youâll miss me?â
âIn many ways.â
Ash grinned without completely letting his hand from my wrist.
Ugh, Ugh. Itâs back again. However I think, thereâs no doubt that Ash must be a seducer right from he was born.
And that works really well especially for me. My heart thumped as he seduced me hard.
âItâs still broad daylight.â¦â¦.â
Without knowing it, I start to imagine things. No, what did I imagine?
I coughed in succession. Then I looked at Ash and said.
âBut if I tell you to go, youâll go, right?â
ââ¦â¦â¦â¦ well, thatâs true butââ
Ash looked surprised at the moment. I burst out laughing.
His expression was so lovely that I kissed Ashâs lips as I was led by the impulse and continued.
âThen go ahead. Iâll be here until you comeâ¦â¦I think Iâve come up with something to prepare.â
I just thought of it, but I think itâs a good idea. Yeah, not bad. No, itâs pretty good.
Then Ash suddenly pulled my wrist.
Ash was sitting on the sofa and I was standing in front of him. A sudden pull caused me to lose my balance and sit over Ashâs lap.
âA, Ash?â
Where am I sitting now? As soon as I was about to rise up in embarrassment, a hard arm had stubbornly wrapped around my waist.
Ash whispered, taking a low breath to my shoulder.
âOh, my. Iâve been kissed and havenât thought of anything since.â
Hey, hey!
âYouâre right nowâ¦â¦Ugh.â
I shut my mouth, which almost leaked out an embarrassing voice.
Now that I see it, the sofa where Ash sits was quite wide. Itâs hard to tell whether itâs for sitting or lying down.
âWa, waitâ¦â¦I mean, ah.â
I ended up re-open the book titled and reading it that night.
