At the Northern Fort

His Highness Ask and his wife reacted as soon as possible to the report that Sharon had been found.

"What!?"

"Is it true!?"

Where the two of them get up off the couch, Sharon herself takes a glimpse out of the hallway.

"Father, Mother"

Sharon was kind of blatant. He went missing and came back safely to his parents, so it wouldn't be strange if a child would cry horribly.

"Sharon......!

Meanwhile, His Highness rushes over to his beloved daughter and hugs her in tears. But Sharon seems surprised by the reaction.

"Were you so worried?

"You bet! When I heard you were gone from the bedroom, my heart was going to stop."

"I'm so glad you're safe! Where the hell were you? Who grabbed you, and how did you get back?

Mr. Branch Leader stops His Highness Ask's wife from questioning him.

"Madam, let Master Sharon settle down once and for all and listen slowly. Please sit down, all three of you. Isn't Master Sharon hungry?

"If you say so, I'm free. I missed breakfast and lunch."

When Mr. Branch Leader instructed his servants to prepare a meal for Sharon, he asked the knights who came to report that Sharon had been found.

"Where did you find Master Sharon? The captains found it?

"No, whoever went out to search hasn't come back yet. Master Sharon sat asleep, leaving his back in the walls surrounding the mansion. It was near the gate, so the gatekeeper immediately noticed and woke him up and brought him here."

"Were you sitting near the gate? Did the killer put it there? Didn't the gatekeeper see the killer?

"Yeah, I haven't seen it. I think I left Master Sharon in the gap for just a moment."

Your lord's grandfather's knight cares about getting rid of the killer and says it doesn't look serious.

"In a flash of gap...?

Mr. Branch Leader muttered indissolubly, then looked back and looked at Sharon. And ask her, who sat on the couch alongside her parents.

"Looks like you were asleep, but does Master Sharon remember how you got back here?

"Probably sent it to that beautiful guy."

Sharon says softly.

"Who is that beautiful person,? Are you talking about the killer who took Master Sharon?

"Yes, it is."

"Didn't you feel scared? Are you hurt?"

His Highness Ask's wife asks as she strokes Sharon's body.

Sharon shook her head sideways looking fine.

"I'm not hurt. Except I'm hungry. I'm fine, Mother. I'm not even scared."

And keep shrugging your shoulders like a bad one.

"I'm sorry, Father, Mother. I didn't know everyone was so worried about me, and I stayed at the beautiful people for a long time. 'Cause it was so beautiful, I wasted so much time wanting to talk more with you and not wanting to go home yet."

"Sounds like Sharon."

It was the prince who laughed bitterly. His Royal Highness Ask holds his head silently against my delicious daughter.

"Let's follow the order and ask. First of all, how did Master Sharon get taken? How did the killer sneak into the bedroom?

Sharon twisted her neck when Mr. Branch Leader returned to the conversation.

"Come on? I'm not sure because I was asleep. When I realized it, a beautiful blonde man was holding me and walking. I was wrapped in his cloak or something, but my face was out, so I could see the other guy's face."

"What did you look like?

"It was beautiful."

Sharon sneered again.

"It was so cool. It was beautiful."

Mr. Branch Leader gives up asking the killer's details and changes the question.

"Do you know where I was when I woke up? Did you see the surrounding view?

"I see it. Because it was already getting brighter. It was like a forest all around."

"Is it the forest? There are some woods around here, too, aren't there?

Mr. Branch Leader asks your lord's grandfather.

"If it's a small one, it's a few minutes away from here with a horse"

I was also listening to Humhum, where suddenly, Kugarg appeared next to me.

But everyone is paying attention to Sharon, so no one has noticed except me.... No, but the chief of the branch, sensitive to the mundane presence, showed a mysterious sixth sense and looked back at this one, and saw me and Kugarg lined up amicably, but turned to Sharon again with a little clasp on his cheek. Did your cheeks come loose?

"... what are you doing?

Kugarg looked around the room, reading the air and asking in a whisper.

"Shisan was gone, but I just came back to Buji. Now I know all about the killer."

"Hmm."

Kugarg says it doesn't seem interested.

Mr Branch Leader asked Sharon again.

"Was the killer alone?

"No. I saw a woman, too."

"What did the woman look like?

"I was wearing a veil and I didn't see my face very well, but it was beautiful. I know beautiful people in the atmosphere."

Sharon says with a strained chest. What is its aesthetic detection capability?

"Didn't you have any characteristics other than beauty? What color or outfit is your hair?

"The woman had dark hair. The outfit was dressed... I thought maybe it was some country royalty or nobility. Because men wore capes and extravagant clothes."

"Royalties and nobles of other countries..."

The king frowns at the root of his eyebrows and groans at the way he thinks of something.

"It would be troublesome if human beings from other countries, let alone royalty, were involved."

Mr Branch Leader, that's what my dad says and asks Sharon a question.

"Did the killers tell you anything? Didn't we talk about ourselves, for example, or why we took Master Sharon?

"I didn't tell you that. Sometimes we were talking about something, but it was whispering and it didn't sound good to me. Besides, I fell asleep again along the way. I'm suddenly asleep."

So a servant brings a meal and arranges it at the table in front of Sharon.

Sharon continued staring at it.

"The next time I woke up, a beautiful man told the woman that he was going to return me. That's why I said I didn't want to go home. He still wants to talk to you guys. I wanted to get to know two very beautiful people very well. So I've been talking to you two for a while, and you haven't really answered my questions."

"What questions?

"What's your name? Or is the house close? Like, what's your favorite food? I've heard a lot about it. But he didn't answer anything. Beautiful men behave like they don't know who I am. They said," I have no obligation to answer you. "That came to my mind a little bit, but I figured making it look so great might mean being royal in another country after all."

Next to me listening seriously, Kugarg yawns.

"So when I realized I was asleep again, and the next time I woke up, I wasn't in the woods. I was sitting in the walls surrounding this mansion. There was a gate nearby, and the gatekeeper woke me up. By then, the beautiful people were gone."

"I guess the killer left Master Sharon there."

Mr Branch Leader said so and advised Sharon to eat.

"Have a meal first. And when we get enough rest, we'll ask you a few more questions later."

His Highness Ask says with a sigh.

"I'm still not sure what the killer's purpose is..."

"Yeah. But I got some new information. Especially when the killer was dressed like royalty or nobility, which is an important clue."

Mr Branch Leader summarises what he has just heard in a note.

The king says as he rubs his jaw.

"Royalty or nobility... Either way, I guess people from other countries. There are nobles in the country that Sharon has yet to meet, but none of them is as beautiful as she gets so heartbroken"

"If the royalty or nobility of another country is the culprit, it won't mean the culprit is just those two men and women, will it? Those two look pretty prominent, and they say there are a lot of collaborators, such as the executors who actually take the kids."

It was the prince who said that.

I put my forefoot on the low table and see the faces of everyone sitting on the couch. And I asked in a ho.

"But now your lord's uncle is hanging in there? If one of the foreigners is the killer."

"No..."

The prince says so hard to say.

"Like I just said, the killer should have a collaborator. There must have been someone who helped break into this mansion. Although I don't think that's the Count, there may be a traitor among the knights working in this mansion, and a servant may have sold the mansion's schematics. Or someone could have spoken to the killer without offense about the structure of the mansion or the location of the rooms."

No one disputes the prince's words. Everyone seemed to suspect that the person who guided the killer was in this mansion.

Your lord's grandfather also looks harsh without saying anything. If you didn't guide yourself, it may be hard to have to doubt your men and servants.

"Oh well..."

I squirm softly. Your lord's grandfather seems like a good man, and if he hasn't done anything, hopefully the suspicions will be cleared soon. Hopefully the knights and servants at Grandpa's haven't done anything wrong either.

"Oh? Is that Kugarg there? When were you here?

"Oh, it's true"

Sharon discovers Kugarg, who was behind the couch, and His Highness Ask is also lightly surprised.

Kugarg walked gracefully like a cat's carnivore and sat next to me.

"Kugarg really likes mills."

Sharon laughs as she drinks a glass of water. Kugarg tilted his neck when he stared at Sharon like that.

"What's wrong?

I'm the one who asked. I saw Kugarg, but Kugarg still sees Sharon. So I took a look at Sharon too.

Then behind Sharon, between the back of the couch and Sharon, I felt something awkward.

But are you out of your mind? Did Sharon's shadow just move as Sharon moved?

... No, I knew something, something different from the shadows was moving?

I leaned my neck just like Kugarg and tried to look closely behind Sharon.

"What? You two."

Sharon says wonderfully.

I'm also strange. I feel like there's something there, but I also feel like an illusion in my eyes...

(Is that it? Did it move on the other side?

"As something moves, Kugarg and I lean our necks against each other.

"It's so cute.... but what's going on?

The head of the branch asks whispering the first half of the words and saying the second half at normal volume.

Me and Kugarg rushed out to catch something while answering at the same time.

"There's something there!
