Episode 87: Even More Bad Blood

“Heinrich, are you okay?”

“Really… scary. I tried to apologize…”

I couldn’t help but stare at Kyle a little bitterly.

What did you do for him to be like this, Kyle?

He was just a little rude (okay, maybe a lot), but he’s a gentle person who loses to thunder.

“It’s okay, Heinrich. I’m here.”

Of course, Heinrich was an archmage, but it must have been a long time since he only made magic tools.

Unlike Kyle, who traveled through battlefields and lawless areas, Heinrich would be stuck at home. Just by looking at him, Heinrich was too soft.

He was a soft-spoken kid, even when he became a grand duke, he let his stepfather’s friend treat him comfortably.

‘One-sided hunting of the carnivorous stag is not allowed.’

I hugged Heinrich tightly.

“Sister…”

Heinrich buried his head as if touched.

Then, opposite of us, Kyle politely placed his hand on his chest and apologized.

“…Miss Annette. I’m sorry for the rough appearance.”

“Right. It’s rough.”

“—Heinrich.”

I cut Heinrich off from rudely attacking Kyle.

He apologized, didn’t he, Heinrich?

In that case, it was okay to be a little generous.

He was a kind and good person.

“A rough man is not a good groom. You know that, don’t you?”

“It’s okay, Mr. Kyle.”

I accepted Kyle’s apology, hugging and stopping Heinrich, who constantly dueled the carnivorous stag.

And I thought with cloudy eyes.

‘My baby… Something must have pissed him off.’

Even now, in my arms, he had the expression of a scheming concubine who was favored by the emperor.

In the first place, the other party was sold rags instead of bread, but he was a customer who simply paid the money. It meant a lot of patience.

‘Even with that patience… There must have been something unbearable.’

There were quite a few people like that.

No matter how many bean pods I put on, I did not forget to grasp my favorite’s personality.

Heinrich then narrowed his eyes and asked.

“Sister, what do you think when you look at me?”

Huh.

“Did you think I was bad?”

He was quick to read others’ minds.

“No? I didn’t think about anything?”

Heinrich looked at me suspiciously, but I shrugged casually.

Then I asked Kyle.

“You haven’t gone yet. Do you have anything to do nearby?”

“I’ve been waiting for you because I have something to tell you.”

“Ah.”

Kyle’s gaze rested briefly on Heinrich, then it returned to me.

“Is it okay if we talk alone?”

“I don’t think so.”

“—Heinrich.”

He was asking me, wasn’t he, Heinrich?

I removed Heinrich, who had been stuck like a piece of gum on me (he didn’t come off well), and grabbed him by the shoulder and said,

“I’m going to talk to Kyle for a moment.”

Heinrich’s expression changed to ‘heuk!’ again, but it didn’t work this time.

I said pointing with my index finger.

“Go in and wait for me, Heinrich.”

Heinrich, being quick-witted, knew when to step down.

“…All right, Sister.”

━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━

“What are you two going to talk about? …Tsk, I really don’t like it.”

Leaving Annette and Kyle alone, Heinrich eventually retreated with a frown on his brows.

He didn’t like him in many ways. That brown haired guy with glasses.

‘It looks like he’s using a shotgun.’

He didn’t take it out, but he saw it clearly when he touched the gun barrel.

“He’s using weapons used by vulgar street dogs, but the accent and tone seemed like a nobleman.”

Where did he roll to eat?

“Duncan.”

At Heinrich’s call, Duncan, who was waiting in a carriage near , took a step closer.

He bowed politely.

“Yes.”

“Find out more about a guy named ‘Kyle’ who uses a shotgun. Curly brown hair, green eyes, and wears a pair of glasses.”

Heinrich crossed his arms and ordered, raising his eyebrows and adding,

“It felt pretty powerful. ‘On the subject’.”

But it wasn’t the kind of magical power that wizards had, the kind of flexible flowing mana.

It was an explosive magic power stuck in a rough core.

—What was his identity?

He didn’t want to know because he was so irritating, but he had no choice but to find out.

“…It’s really unpleasant that he gave Sister a wedding ring.”

‘Was it about Miss Annette?’ 

Duncan asked what kind of information he should collect.

“Could you tell me the purpose of the information, Grand Duke?”

Heinrich spoke coldly with utterly inhumane eyes.

“What are you asking? The more I know, the more effective I can kill.”

“…….”

He gestured with his chin.

“Go.”

Duncan once again thought that his master’s nickname suited him well, but disappeared like a shadow after a silent prayer.

━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━

“I’m sorry, Kyle. Take this bread. He said that earlier you took something strange instead of bread…”

Something that looked like rags.

Or maybe it was really rags (as a self-employed professional, I really didn’t want to admit it).

“Thank you for your consideration, Owner.”

Mr. Kyle, who was like an angel, accepted it kindly, with his docile eyes behind the glasses curved.

“No, by the way, what do you want to tell me?”

It was clear it was something important. He came early today to talk to me, but it seemed like he waited because I was too busy.

Until my business was over.

‘That’s very thoughtful.’

“Owner, didn’t the Crown Prince of El Dorado come to visit?”

“……!”

No, how did you know that?

After a moment’s surprise, I soon understood. Because Larva had been hiding me all this time.

He couldn’t have been unaware of the obsessive maniac in search of Annette, who even waged war so that it could appear in the newspapers.

But in the first place, Larva’s share was only to hide me from ‘Gerard’.

He has been doing it brilliantly, very, very generously, for over 10 years.

—Thanks so much.

‘He wouldn’t be able to stop Sislin even if he tried to.’

With that tenacity, Sislin would have found me no matter who blocked me.

There was not a single thing Kyle was at fault for in this situation.

I replied with a smile.

“Yes, he just came to see me.”

“……!”

Kyle’s expression seemed to waver for a moment, then his dark green eyes filled with concern and worry.

“Are you okay, Owner?”

“Of course it’s fine. I just met an old friend after a long time.”

I smiled comfortably.

I was afraid he would be worried.

“As you may already know, the Crown Prince is from the same Forest as us. From a young age, he has followed me very well.”

“…….”

“I was very sad when we parted… I was very happy to see him again.”

I mixed up a little bit. Of course, it wasn’t 100% fake, but it didn’t give the nuance of being embarrassed because I wasn’t expecting it.

Because…

‘Please don’t get involved.’

The combination of a crazy carnivorous deer and a wild beast wasn’t right.

Dangerous madmen need to be quarantined!

―Or there would be sparks like before.

‘I’m the only one who becomes a shrimp again.’

‘I don’t want to get stuck in between and get my back ripped.’

‘Please go crazy separately.’

“…….”

Kyle looked at me quietly as if trying to read me, and then opened his mouth.

“Are there any injuries?”

“Oh, not at all.”

Heuk heuk, ‘just’ something strange engraved on my wrist.

‘But nobody really knows about it.’

It was an artifact, so Heinrich didn’t know, and the same goes for Kyle.

They both have magical powers, so I did wonder if they would find out.

“He is a dangerous man. He’s a cruel, ruthless man. In the past… It’s hard to think of the way he used to… follow Annette.”

‘I know that better.’

As I had experienced it myself.

How he grew up and appeared before me.

“Yes, I will be careful.”

I just replied with that and smiled so that Kyle would be relieved.

“Owner.”

Kyle leaned his broad shoulders in and clasped my hand.

As he lowered his head, his hair, like a field of wheat in autumn, fell softly.

He kissed the back of my hand and whispered sweetly.

“You mustn’t get hurt.”

Eyes like a recording captured me.

“I’ll die… My heart.”

“…….”

I felt that feeling.

The sincere heart contained in the letter that he wrote thinking of me while listening to the sound of snow wolves crying in the distance.

I answered with a grin.

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━

“He is a dangerous man. He is a cruel, ruthless person.”

I was walking with Heinrich, blankly contemplating Kyle’s words.

It was only less than five minutes away from the place of conversation to , but Heinrich had to come to pick me up (He said he really wanted to take me back). That short distance).

He’s cruel and impolite… He’s still the Crown Prince, but has he already gained such notoriety?’

He wasn’t just a scary person, Sislin.

Then there was a terrifying sound.

“Where have you been? Annette.”

The voice felt as if it was clenching my ankles.

I stopped, motionless.

“…….”

A huge shadow was cast in front of us. Then it gradually swallowed me up.

A man with an overwhelming physique standing in front of the sun with his wide back.

His exhausted red eyes looked literally cruel and inhumane.

I called out his name like a groan.

“—Sislin.”
