"You need to talk to me, don't you? I'm alone, as you can see. Come out."

Speaking again, one man jumped off the ceiling after a short while.

The physique is luxurious and small. He said he came down from a high place, but he doesn't make any noise at all.

Only then will I know his profession and skill clearly.

The man with his face up still had a face that left him a juvenile childhood. On black curly hair...... both red eyes. Even at a young age, his eyes are filled with awesomeness that has dived through many training grounds.

I laugh bitterly at the red light I see for the first time, just as I expected.

"... what's wrong with you"

Boy staring at this one in a murky tone. His voice is still young, too. An attitude that is often conveyed as being unintentional. I guess that's all he has to say about showing up.

I shook my head.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Nothing is wrong. I just thought it would still be. My subordinates reported it a long time ago. My fiancée probably helped the Red Reaper. Since then, I've been able to imagine what might have happened."

"This is what happened, what the..."

Encourage the frowning boy to sit on the couch for guests. But he didn't try to move.

I haven't been a guest. That's how his attitude told the story.

"You must be from the Hiyuma clan, right? I hear Hiyuma remains one-eyed if he hasn't signed a contract. You in Sahaja were also known as the one-eyed Reaper. I should still have had one eye when I came to this country. Yet now you have both eyes.... Didn't you get a contract with Liddy?

"... oh"

When asked to confirm, the boy in front of him snorted, reluctantly and so forth.

"The princess helped me. I asked for nothing in return.... Didn't tell me you felt bad about me when you found out everything.... don't you think that's too much reason?

"... right"

I nodded to agree with the boy who was going to give me one reason at a time so I could bite him off.

Every action he says will surely be taken as a matter of course by Liddy. I could easily imagine. That's the kind of woman my fiancée is. And I'm proud of her.

"... I heard you were being invaded by a curse when you were found. It was Liddy who decursed you, wasn't it?

When I first heard that I had broken the curse, I thought it was something that involved a drug witch, but once I knew what Liddy was capable of, the answer was simple. It was Liddy herself who broke the curse. Definitely.

The boy nodded as he looked into my eyes.

My liver is really resting. I didn't expect to be able to expose myself to the royal castle's royal prince's office in grandeur and still have a normal conversation with me in this way. It was wrapped around my inner tongue. Just get younger and be called the Red Reaper, all you have to do is put up the top of your guild. It's unusual mental power.

"That's right. Same as you did. The princess helped me with neutralising magic. Even so, it's only recently that I heard about it. My grandmother taught me."

"Grandma?"

"You met him, too, didn't you? She's a drug witch."

"Well... are you connected to that side?"

Convince the boy who has suggested a connection to the witch.

That witch liked Liddy a lot. I guess he's not a danger to Liddy because the witch is silent.

Of course, I know the loyalty of the Hiyuma clan is absolute, but still it was more convincing to me to be shown a connection to the witch I actually met.

The boy in front of him opens his mouth with a grumpy head. The voice probably contained confusion.

"I don't know, don't go crazy. I just think it's more suspicious. I thought you might be mistaken for an assassin who came to kill you."

He was actually an assassin, and there was no dark spot behind him at all.

Rather obvious. This one clapped more at the attitude of not embarrassing or denying himself that he was an assassin.

"... I've been feeling your signs for a long time. I have no desire to kill, and I'm acting to protect Liddy one way or another. Like I said, I also knew that Liddy was in contact with you. It would be easy to guess if you could tell that far, wouldn't it?

Signs of the boy in front of me I was feeling occasionally. Pretty good, barely sensible, but still touched my boundaries a few times. Some stories I had heard from Alec were too good to be sure they existed.

When I gained certainty, I still felt weak.

As I thought, even Reaper dropped it easily, my dear fiancée.

I was waiting for you to tell me when, but I didn't expect you to get in touch with me from Reaper.

"So? Why did you show up on purpose? You didn't want them to notice that you were moving so carefully, did you?

Pointing it out, the boy flaunted his shoulder again.

"That's right, but I can't replace my belly on my back. When? You know the princess is capable of action. I just thought you should share the information."

"... I see"

I was terribly convinced by the bitterly spitting words.

Perhaps Liddy and this boy are spending time together when I'm not around. You are indeed right in the sense that we can fill each other's voids. But.

"... what do you think of me?

"What?"

Ask the boy with the face that you don't know, again.

That's all I wanted to hear if it was going to be a cooperative relationship.

"I am your Lord's fiancée. I want to hear what you think of that."

The boy in front of him said Liddy helped him.

Then it is not surprising that a special emotion sprouted from it.

And if that's the kind of emotion, I thought I'd rather be out of the way.

After tilting his neck, the boy shut up for a while and nodded over and over again wondering that he finally understood.

"Ah? Oh, you mean that. Don't worry. Nothing. I didn't see you as a princess, and I'm rooting for you and the princess. I don't want to disturb you."

"You want me to believe that?

"Hmm, 'cause, princess, you like you, don't you? If you don't like the princess, I'll interrupt anything, but you don't hate her at all. And you're strong. It's honestly helpful not to escort him around the clock."

This one is more surprising to the boy who answers lightly.

The boy turned into a serious face.

"... and there's no love for the Lord. I have a duty to make money for the next generation. The Hiyuma clan will make sure I rebuild them. By and large, he said he couldn't take the Lord's child as his successor. The princess is not entirely eligible."

"Right..."

Now is the time to convince yourself of a clear reason.

This boy is still young but carries his clan. And I understand and try to fulfill that responsibility.

That was a sensation that I could understand, too, having to carry the country from now on.

I felt like I could see why the boy in front of me had no wonder and no jealousy at all.

"Now you've convinced me? To tell you the truth, you didn't cheat on the princess because you were with me, did you? I've always been talking about you."

"Oh, I get it. And I'm not worried about Liddy.... I know she only sees me"

"... you'll tell me"

Show the boy who laughs like a snort.

I already know that Liddy thinks of me. I just want to hear it directly from the person's mouth at the end. That's why I'm waiting.

"Well, where you convinced me. I'm Cain. The last survival of the Hiyuma clan. Current owner. I know it's easier for you to understand the Red Reaper, but I'm not Sahaja's assassin anymore. I serve only the princess and obey only the princess's orders. Think of it as something like that."

I ran out of words boy...... I nodded at Cain.

Give me your hand and I'll name you too.

"This is Friedrich, Liddy's fiancée. Can I assume that we are in a cooperative relationship after all?

When asked, Cain took my hand but stabbed me in the nail.

"If it's about the princess. But first I say no, but I don't listen to your orders. You're not my lords. They said they didn't like the language either. I don't mean to be hairy."

"I don't mind. If a being like you is going to keep me company with Liddy, I feel safe here.... because she only takes unexpected actions"

"Oh......"

I guess there's a verse that comes to mind. Cain looked away and laughed powerlessly.

"So? You wouldn't have just come out to introduce yourself. What can I do for you?"

"... before that. The princess doesn't know I'm seeing you this way. Understand that."

"Is it primarily a secret? Is that to be forgiven as a Hiyuma clan?

"... I really don't want to do that either. But even if I tell the princess, I know she'll definitely disagree."

It must be a bitter decision. I nodded at the bitter-faced boy.

"Okay. Let's not talk to Liddy."

"Sankiu. Then listen to me.... That was just now. The princess told me. The man who came today, that looks like a Tarim warrior."

"Nah..."

Sudden bomb speech clogs my voice.

The possibility was something I had just discussed with Alec earlier. Why would Liddy do that?

"The princess said she was a maiden... but I think she's probably sure.... I've been asking you to look into his trends."

"How could Liddy..."

Liddy and Tarim should have nothing to do with this. And yet, why should Liddy bother moving him? But if you think about it, Liddy was crazy tonight.

I get terribly upset, I weep... maybe I know him.

"No... isn't it"

The two contacts are nowhere. Until recently, Liddy has been in the royal palace for a long time and has never had a chance to face each other.

Ignore me for thinking about it, and Cain keeps talking.

"The princess is probably going to move by herself. I also advised you that I should tell you, but you turned me down.... because it's just a question. He said he'd say it once he was sure, but it's about the princess, when will it be?"

"I see."

I listened to Cain and found out how he came into contact with me on purpose.

He was also worried about Liddy, the Lord.

"The Lord's command is absolute if it were meant to be. But I'm lucky the princess gave me my freedom. So it moved. As it is, the princess is definitely caught up in something weird. I want to prevent it."

"Oh."

I know how he feels painfully.

"Soon, I'm sure the princess will take action. Of course I'm going to protect the princess, and I won't let anything happen to her. Still, if anything happens. I can't regret it. If you want to avoid it, I'll join hands with the royal family I hate."

Cain bites his back teeth off.

His words reminded me of the destruction of the Hiyuma clan by the king of Sahaja. You naturally resent it. There was only disgust in his expression when he said he hated royalty.

Still, when I saw him say I'd bend that belief if it was for Liddy, I could think of him as a man of trust.

"... I'll keep my eyes open when she's inside the royal castle. Other than that, please."

"I know. If you need anything, I'll let you know. The princess looks solid, but surprisingly, she's a boar warrior pig rushing type. I don't know what to do."

To Cain, who tells the truth, I don't know, I just had to laugh past it.
