Lichten breathes when he finishes talking, and this is more or less what I know. and finished the conversation, but I was already much more flattered.

According to Lichten's story, Master Elle sounds like he was sacrificing himself to keep me alive.

Maybe he's over-conscious, but he really seems to be.

Why, why and in my head I can't think together well with all the questions.

Because Lord Elle must have hated me.

I can't forget that hateful look and thrusting attitude.

Or even that was an act to protect me from Master Filmeria?

If so, why the hell?

Because I was a bent fiancée?

Were you in love with me as a child tame?

It is too much to be sacrificed for that reason.

So, because I am the daughter of the Duke of Rufus family...?

Not to be an extra spark of strife as a royalty, not to upset the aristocratic balance of power?

That's the most realistic thing to think about.

Yes, I'm sure you hated me because as royalty you had to sacrifice yourself until you protected me.

He is an excellent Ellein, and a second prince.

I shouldn't be free enough to put myself in danger for reasons that are not stupid and unpleasant.

Because as far as the Liechtenstein story goes, it would have been fine if I had died casually when I was first poisoned at the royal tea party.

Because I was the daughter of the Duke's house, and the daughter of the Rufus family.

Because of that he had no choice but to sacrifice himself.

Apparently, Master Elle's future has changed because I survived.

It's easy for me to say I don't know it's something he did on his own, but if they told me it was for the country, I'm sure that was necessary.

I am a man of the Duke of Rufus family before I am, so my life has no less role and responsibility.

And more importantly, it's not a light enough story to flow easily.

"Then sister, I left this with your father.

I don't know what it is, but I'll give it to you at this time.

Lichten offered it. It was an envelope.

The Rufus family's sealed wax. That says nothing.

Letters purposefully handed by your father who exchanges letters every week?

"Count Hardist didn't seem willing to tell his sister this story for the rest of his life, so if you're going to be sick, I think you can forget it.

Sure, the Hardist Count seemed to protect my sister, but maybe there was something else I could have done.

This is what Count Hardist has been doing on his own.

Well, I'll just get some rest.

That's how Lichten got up and left the room.

I drop off Lichten, and then I cut the seal with my trembling hands.

I don't know why anymore.

Am I, who was kept alive by Master Elle, that I have spent so little time without knowing anything about him at the expense of his freedom?

I thought I gradually figured out who Vance was talking about.
