The Crown Prince took me to the carriage. There, he made a simple order to Sir Arhan, “Take her to the Grand Duke’s mansion.”
At that, I shook my head to strongly refuse, to let him know that I’m still a useful and valuable person to him. “Your Highness! But the investigation won’t be easy without me!”
“It’s fine. I can figure out the effects of the geographical situation or the outcome of the waterway being blocked without you. Besides, it’s up to architects to worry about embankment construction’s materials.”
“But…”
Honestly, I’d hate to become worthless to him. I don’t want to be worthless to him, just like I was dumped by Kyles because I was worthless to him.
“You’re a nuisance if you stay.”
But I already had become worthless to him, so I bit my lips. I was a fool to have swayed at such timing… I blamed myself for messing up everything.
“I’m sorry I have become a nuisance, Your Highness. If you insist, then I’ll be on my own from here.”
But the person I wanted to blame the most right now, was that bad man. I was angry that he didn’t even give me a chance to prove myself even if I insisted. He shouldn’t hurt my feelings even if I like him!
“You- what…?”
The Crown Prince seemed to be astonished, so I answered with the most uncomfortable look on my face and voice. “You can forget about a useless officer like me and be on your way. I’ll be on my way myself. Here, go ahead. Sir Arhan!”
“Yes, milady?”
I knew I was going the wrong way as I saw Sir Arhan’s dumbfounded look as he asked, but I was already abandoned by the Crown Prince for being useless. I figured there was no tomorrow for me, so I was going reckless from giving up.
“You, sir, are the Knight Captain of His Highness’s guards. As such, it’s your duty to protect His Highness at all times. Please don’t waste your valuable energy for such a useless officer, and help His Highness by his side.”
I walked past Sir Arhan and his dumb expression. I saw Rey, but I didn’t want to look at him either, so I walked past him too. That’s when a calm and also low voice came to me.
“Stop.”
I pretended I didn’t hear the Crown Prince’s order and walked onward.
“STOP!!”
Even at his angry bellow, I continued to walk ahead. That’s when someone pulled me in. The pull was so hard that I fell on top of the person who pulled.
“Ugh… What are you…”
I was going to ask what was the meaning of this when I saw an arrow stuck on the spot where I just had been and felt chills running through my body. Was it those assassins? Did they follow me here?
“Dammit. He ran to the woods!”
“I’ll go after him,” answered Rey in response to Sir Arhan’s voice.
Then Sir Arhan replied, “Please. I’ll send reinforcements soon.”
I trusted Rey’s abilities, but I was still worried. What if he gets hurt? No, he’s not weak, so he should return safely. Even though I assured myself as such, I couldn’t take my eyes off Rey while he disappeared from my sight.
“Your Highness, I’ll gather up knights and order them to track him down. Please wait here.”
After Sir Arhan also disappeared, I realized I was left alone with the Crown Prince. I also realized that I was sitting on top of him, quickly jumped off, and away.
“M-My apologies!”
My heart raced, which I tried to suppress when the Crown Prince got up and asked while looking over at me. “Are you alright? Did you get hurt-”
