……

In front of the room, which is a rendezvous with Master Lydiana, my body trembled when I twitched too much of nervousness and fear.

I can't stand the weight of the sins that I will commit from now on, and tears overflow on my own.

I don't have that right.

Regret or penance is not acceptable to me.

Because for too selfish a reason, I move.

"What's up? Your Ladyship is waiting. Please come in soon."

"Yes, sir"

He turns a frivolous face at me when the Kingsguard doesn't try to enter the room for long.

No one can help me if I'm standing here like this.

I had no choice but to take a step towards the door.

- I don't want to die.

With that feeling alone, I sincerely hate myself for trying to betray even that one who loved me in a pure way...

◇ ◇ ◇

When the letter arrived, I was so surprised that I was about to take it off.

Prince Wang's fiancée - a tea party invitation from Lydiana, who will have a wedding next month.

For a moment, I seriously twisted my neck wondering why you would ask me out, but I thought to myself why.

- If you want to be friends, you're welcome.

She was undoubtedly the one who nodded pleasantly at the glamorous desire I had made to be my friend. That's what I remember.

"... stupid honest person..."

Words leaked on their own.

I'm sure you're serious about getting along with me. That pure feeling was too spicy for me now.

"Oh, that's just great."

"Huh!"

Suddenly, a sweet voice sounds in my ear.

When I turned around in a hurry, that day - the night of the celebration - the woman who spoke to me bowed her back and looked at me with a laugh as she creaked. Perfect outfit in full body black. In the end I said nothing, even frowning upon clothes that accentuated the abundance of flesh.

Instead, conceal the letter reflexively. A woman observes me like that in an interesting way.

"Hehe, I think you surprised me."

"Duh, how did you get here... security..."

"I'm sorry to hear that. It's not impossible for us. Master Migliaria? I didn't want to do this either. But it's an order from him. See if you can keep your promise."

……

- That one. I bit my lips in the words.

who I have foolishly promised to cooperate with.

A certain mansion in the suburbs taken by this woman, who came as soon as she wrapped her black turban around the branches of the mansion.

So I was introduced to someone who also showed his face in the seat of the celebration that he is now curing.

André van De La Wilhelm.

The eldest son of the king's brother, Lady Gallai.

At the same time surprised that there was such an unexpected figure, he said to me on his knees in haste.

"You're gonna be my collaborator, aren't you?

"Huh..."

I sat at the desk provided in the back of the room, and looked up to the words of Lord Andre, whom I had inquired.

impudent, and panicked and flattened.

"also, sorry"

"I am royal to the Kingdom of Wilhelm. If you are also a Wilhelm nobleman, be more mindful of your attitude and remarks."

"Yes... excuse me"

He bowed his head even further, in his inner dismay, to a transgressive attitude too different from that of Lydiana, who was treated as the royal prince I knew, the king prince, and the righteous queen of what was not yet royal. "Hehe," I hear a laugh.

When I raised my head even more time after obtaining permission to raise my face, I saw a woman creeping up on Master Andre's shoulder. Not only the woman who brought me here. Two more.

The two were serving under Master Andre's feet, but these two certainly weren't the women who were coming to the celebration with Master Andre. Her cheeks stain red while same-sex in a scented color.

When they gazed at me, they laughed meaningfully.

"I will spare you your bona fide cooperation and disrespect earlier. You want to fall for Freed too. Interests are in agreement."

"Huh...... No, I..."

Suddenly I was taken aback by the words that Master Andre told me.

What the hell are you talking about? I am not trying to fall on Prince Wang.

I tried to argue, but I whispered, pierced by Lord Andre's overly strong gaze.

"Dear Andre. Master Migliaria doesn't know exactly where you stand. Would you mind if I explained it in more detail?

"Hmm."

To the words of the woman who brought me, Lord Andre nodded to Eagle Deep.

Then I laugh. Prince Wang and I are supposed to be in the same line of faces, but that showed up in a terrible snoring grin.

"I don't think it's necessary, but let's start by introducing ourselves. It's Andre, son of King's brother Garai. Of course you do.

"Ha... yes. I..."

"I don't want your name. I was looking for a collaborator. You're the one who matched that. Yes - I hear it from this woman. No doubt about it, huh?

Master Andre asks the woman without even looking at her. To him like that, the woman nodded with a smile.

"Yes, Master Andre. I'm sure Miriam would appreciate your help."

"Well, I don't even think it seems to be very usable, but I can't help it. I don't have time to pick another one."

"Well, say that. I'll be fine. Miriam didn't seem very concerned about his fiancée. I'm sure you'll be happy to work with me."

"Hmm?"

With an unpleasant laugh, Master Andre looked at me.

"So you're thinking about Freed? So, you think that fiancée hates that woman? Ha ha! A woman is foolish all the time! I didn't know anyone would notice the truth about that man."

"Ah... Um"

"I'm angry. It's a angry story. But okay.... Fine. Eagle, I forgive you."

After a moment of the light of hatred, Master Andre immediately erased the colour and laughed disgustingly again.

"Woman. Did I say Myriah? I need your help. Are you kidding me?

……

I have only a bad feeling about the term cooperation. I regretted how I got here now, but I couldn't do anything about it.

I trembled and opened my mouth.

"Um... cooperation, what. What am I supposed to do..."

"It's not a big deal. I just need a little help. I have a grudge against that man. I want you to look me in the eye. I need your help with that. That's all."

"Oh, to Prince Wang? Oh, no... I can't."

My heart squeezes rapidly, thinking it would be okay if Master Lydiana looked a little painful in the eye.

'Cause even if you know it won't come true, you're the one who likes it. There is no way you can do harm to Prince Wang.

Could I have stuck my neck rather badly? Driven by anxiety, he stared at the woman who had brought me next door. The woman says in such a deliberately gentle tone as to reassure me.

"It's okay, Master Migliaria. I'm not going to ask you about His Highness Friedrich. You don't care about Master Lydiana, do you? What I want you to do is ask for Master Lydiana. That's all."

"It... just?

When asked to confirm, the woman laughed glossily.

"Yeah, that's right. You said it first, didn't you? He said he wasn't going to ask for anything difficult."

"Oh, that's..."

"Do you still care about Prince Wang? Although this is a secret, Andre used to have things with Prince Wang... So, yeah, you're making a little mistake. So this time, I'm going to surprise Prince Wang a little, set up a surprise - and you're going to take the opportunity to make up for it. Hey, Master Andre?

"What? I'm with that guy? Don't be silly."

The woman praised Andre, who raised her voice.

The voice is so sharp, it's like a blade.

"Master Andre?... please don't bother. Have you forgotten what I told you the other day? Next time, if you can't do me a favor - that's what I said, isn't it?

For the first time, Andre showed the woman who seeped her sobering anger. Nodding like a panic.

"... no, I get it. Oh, woman, he's right. Forget about earlier. I want to make up with Fried. That's why I'm going to set up a little prank. That... against my fiancée. Anyway, he's perfect for his fiancée. Just right for the target."
