Raphael must have seen the contents of my desk. Otherwise it's so fast, there's no way we can get here. Not confused by my attached flower circle, but searching for Sophia with the power of love, I think, is a boulder.

But letters and notes are evidence of heroin kidnapping, something that you would originally find the day before your engagement was broken. The prince sticks with the paperwork of evidence and the evil that went before him, and on the day of Sofia's social debut, he castigates Veronica in front of everyone.

No way. Have you broken your engagement yet? At the end of this part of the compulsion, am I to be caught?

Mercenary-raised jilds should not have been guarded yet. If I go to jail now, there will be no one to shelter me, so I will surely be badly eyed.

What's even more disturbing is Raphael's attitude. Knowing my evil deeds, why did he kiss my hair? I was confused, I run into questions directly with the prince.

"Evidence, what?

"I can't tell you the details, but I've been looking into it for a long time. Phil Baer kidnapped a lot of young ladies and was suspected of selling them out..."

Someone pulled my arm before he finished the words. Are you just gonna keep arresting me?

But when I saw him, I looked at him surprised.

"Veronica, I'm glad you're safe. I wish something had happened to you..."

"Father!

When I realized it, I was in my father's arms. How many years has it been since I've been held in this way? As I grew up, I got cold, Father. But now, I think I'm shaking in small pieces.

"I'm sorry, Veronica, I want you to forgive me. I put you in danger."

My father is making a mistake. I put Sophia in danger, to be precise. The kidnapping was planned by me, and the person who happened to ask me to arrange it was Phil. That's why I made Sophia feel so scared.

"No, um..."

"Duke. No, Minister. I'm sorry, but I need a report."

Standing up Raphael prompts his father in good time. I was just having trouble figuring out what to say, so it was just fine.

But what do you mean, report it? Why is your father here in the first place?

My coughed father opens his mouth to dispel my doubts.

"The routes outside the country have been crushed. The lurking place was the problem, but I didn't know this was the place. The women are safe and secure. I'll take you to the palace once and ask you what's going on. I want you to be there."

"Okay. Sorry to keep you busy."

What a prince Raphael, bowing his head to his father!

"Nica, can I borrow a few more dukes?

Raphael laughed as troubled and spoke to me. My father pulled his mouth together, and he has an obnoxious look. I show my gratitude to Raphael, thinking it's been a long time since I've seen him face to face.

"Yeah, sure. But no more dangerous work."

I think I figured it out somehow. My father didn't lean too close to home because of his duties. Though I felt I was involved in something important, I never thought it was a police job.

"Veronica, that's not what you talk about. But Prince, I accept your suggestion. It's not bad to retire and become a consultant."

"Consultant? No way. I would like to ask the Duke, who has left the Minister for Information, to take the post of Chancellor"

"I can't take that on. Sooner or later, if the king has favoured the Queen's father, let him be the source of chaos in the land."

"The present king has bought your honesty. Well, I'll see you soon. Look, my fiancée's surprised, too."

I can't believe I'm surprised.

I didn't know you were a spy's best friend, not a cop. That's why you used to go out of the country and sleep in the temple, right? A lot of people who were resilient to our guards can also nod now.

Is that why my father stopped approaching me? Were you avoiding me on purpose?

I accidentally grabbed my father's sleeve. My father, who saw him, spoke pompously.

"Nica, listen carefully. I've never told you before. Your mother was murdered by someone with a grudge against me."

Take a sharp breath. In Lanobe, it was written that postpartum fattening was bad!

"So I protected you more than I had to, and I became adorable. It was my fault that you grew up with a selfish personality. I left it to my new mother and thought I should return to my duties. But sometimes it's hard to see you getting more beautiful looking like your late wife, even when you get home. I'm afraid of repeating the tragedy. Not much, I turned you away. Veronica, you have no sin..."

No, Father.

Veronica is pretty black.

If you tap it, you'll get dust.

And to call my real daughter beautiful isn't that a pretty parental idiot?

"I wanted you to live in a world as peaceful as possible. For that reason, I objected to my engagement to the prince until the end... but it broke in the end. If we get here, we'll have to admit we're married."

No, you don't have to admit it. 'Cause Veronica's about to be broken up with a perfect engagement. My Duke's house is cheap because Sophia will be with us instead.

I don't know if my life as a civilian with Jildo is anything calm. But it would be a mediocre day, at least, than being with a prince.

I thought about it so much, I get horrible by accident. It's a common pattern in the final episode to talk about openings and finally to make everyone a good person. No way really, isn't this part over today!?

"Poor thing. Nica, are you shivering? After I deliver her, I decide to return to the royal palace. Minister...... No Father-in-law, is that all right?

"Oh, I have no choice. Lady Rafael, my daughter, please."

No, you can't ask me to do that there. I can't believe we're going straight to jail...

I never had any concerns and was sent home safely. No, I don't think he was mentally safe.

Shortly after that, I got into the royal carriage. When I sit down, what a hug Raphael holds me up on his own lap. I'll get my hands around my hips from behind, they'll stick to me perfectly, and I'm so embarrassed.

"Hey... what are you doing? Raphael, could you have lost blood?

"Lost blood? Nica says funny things, as always."

"Then why are you in such a position..."

"Yeah? I need to find out if my precious fiancée's not scratched."

When I say fiancée, it's not real.

Raphael touches my shoulders and neck muscles from behind, not even with me trying to get off his knees. Tickles me because I have gentle hands.

Having become intolerable, I put my own hand on his hand, gently pulling it apart and rejecting it.

"I'm fine. The magic stones you get have worked great."

"Sounds like it. I didn't know it was fire magic."

"Huh? 'Cause you prepared that one, didn't you?

Turning around to make sure...... chi, close! A neat face is right in front of me, and purple eyes look at me as I explore my expression. I rush back to the front and breathe trying to calm down.

"Of course. But the attributes that are shown are compatible with you"

"Compatibility? Raphael's good at it, too. Is magic fire?

"Too bad you haven't hit it yet."

I wonder what that means. Not yet, what?

More like the gestures you stroke everywhere are getting bolder than they were just now.

"Hey, Raphael. Aren't you touching a lot too much?

In a hurry I complain.
