Outaishihi ni Nante Naritakunai!!

On the morning of the eighth day of my stay in Irvern, I was having a relaxing breakfast with Fried.

Sit back side by side on the long sofa and enjoy breakfast arranged on the table. I reached for mango juice.

"... delicious"

It's so thick. I feel like my nutrition is staining my body.

Bake flat, slightly salty bread. It had finely chopped bacon and cheese inside, which was quite chunky but very tasty. As we ate, the two of us talked about our plans for today, suddenly there was no knock, and the door opened.

"Huh..."

"Freed!!"

I was shocked and almost took off the bread.

It was Prince Hendrick who came. The prince disturbs his breath and sees at a glance that something has happened. Turning his gaze toward Fried, he briefly told the guards and the women who were around him.

"Back off."

Having received Fried's sharp gaze, they quietly bow their heads and leave the room. Only me and Fried, and Prince Hendrick, were left on the spot.

"So? What the hell is all this fuss? So early in the morning."

Without even hiding how frustrating it is, Fried asks Prince Hendrick. He opened his mouth with a crying face.

"... I don't have Ophilia and Edward"

Understand the words said and look at him unexpectedly.

"What do you mean no Reid!?"

Fried has been holding me the other way around knowing something had happened to my dear friend, changing my complexion and letting my hips float off the couch.

"Liddy, calm down. Hendrick, that's not all I know. From the beginning, explain it in an orderly fashion. And why did you come to us?"

In his calm voice, he must have realized that Prince Hendrick also lacked calm. The way I returned it, I blinked my eyes with a pussy.

"Sorry. That's right... I'm upset too... Actually, I just visited Ophilia's room. I knew it was early morning. But I wanted to report it to my sister as soon as possible. It took me until midnight to convince Edward yesterday, because I couldn't tell him how it turned out..."

"Midnight..."

Did it take so long?

To our surprise, Prince Hendrick nods.

"Besides my thoughts, it took me a while. When I told him I didn't think of Edward as my sister's wedding partner, he said I wasn't convinced. We talked about an example diary. That wasn't a hit on you. When I said it was just a creation, I said," No. That definitely spells out Master Ophilia's inner heart, "he returns. And for stealing the manuscript." The only way we could get ourselves tied was to oh. The only way for Her Royal Highness to know her hidden heart was to look at her diary ". I didn't know he was such a speechless man."

"... Wow"

My face was unwittingly drawn to what Edward said and did more than I expected. View Freed. He seems just as surprised, too.

"Still somehow, I ended the story by telling Edward that my sister couldn't do it. I visited the room earlier that you would like to know the results soon... the room is empty. Edward, who was on the side, was gone."

"... is it possible that Princess Ophilia left voluntarily?

Freed's doubts were natural, but Prince Hendrick shook his head sideways.

"No. Ophilia, once before, never went out in silence. When I left, I always left a brush on my desk. There are no exceptions. That was nowhere else, so I don't think it's Ophilia's will."

……

I don't usually have a letter to put away. And it's the knight with her side who's gone with Reid.

The conclusions to be drawn are one, no matter what you think.

Seeing Prince Hendrick, he nodded with a bitter face.

"That's right. Eighty-nine, I believe Edward took Ophilia on the run. The obsession with Ophilia that he showed yesterday was certainly unusual. I gave up, I was answering that I understood, but I guess that was a lie. I found out I couldn't marry Ophilia. Edward took Ophilia and ran away."

"... there wouldn't be a zero chance of an outsider, would there?

To Fried's inquiry, Prince Hendrick affirmed, "You don't".

"On Ophilia's side, Edward, one of Irvern's best knights, is always on his side, isn't he? Even at night, he's standing in front of the door, protecting his sister. If you hear Ophilia calling for help, it's up to you to rush first. I would have thought I was an outsider if his body was in my sister's room. There can't be a single possibility that Ophilia and Edward will be kidnapped together. He's the truth, the best knight in the country."

"Right. But, Hendrick, if I may say so, I wonder if you'd like to keep someone you know to be dangerous close to Princess Ophilia. It's your fault."

Prince Hendrick looked much stuffed by Fried's sober allegations.

"... I don't have a word to give it back. But I was tired last night, too. I was tired of convincing him to the limit until midnight... and I couldn't think that far. I know it's no excuse."

Honestly admitting his mistake, Prince Hendrick distorted his face in remorse.

"Earlier, when I saw the empty Ophilia room, I finally realized I'd done it. I left the room as if nothing had happened in a hurry and came straight over here. I'm here because I want your help. I don't want to make it big. Hopefully, before anyone knows it, I want to rescue Ophelia."

"Our?

Prince Hendrick nods at Fried's words.

"I'm sure no one will believe that Edward took Ophilia away. Only about you guys who talked to us yesterday know what the truth is about Edward. Besides, if they found out about the kidnapping, Ophilia would be beaten by everyone more than ever.... I can't marry you. Didn't they make you a body, or something? I don't want to see my sister suffer from such rumors."

……

Prince Hendrick's concerns were particularly acute.

When a woman is kidnapped, it is the same in every world that she suspects her chastity is safe.

I have also heard that the kings and fathers, when they were previously kidnapped by the Sahaja hands, were quite mindful of regulating information. So I still only know a limited number of people that I've been kidnapped, and I'm treated like a top secret.

I've already layered my body with Fried many times, and even I treated Wang Hua with it.

What rumors can Reid have that he doesn't even have a fiancée yet.

Even when dressed as a man, she is a beautiful woman. If that girlfriend were to suffer from terrible rumors...... just imagining it would be frightening.

So I thought Prince Hendrick was right in his judgment.

Unexpectedly, I look at Fried.

As far as I'm concerned, I'd like to cooperate as much as I can, but my husband is Fried, and he's the one making the final decision. I can't do anything unsolicited.

"... Fried"

I still call him by his name. He looked at me and nodded.

"I know. It's okay, Liddy. Princess Ophilia is a dear friend of Liddy's and Hendrick's sister. There's no way we won't cooperate."

Fried replies forcefully to blow my anxiety. And I was heartbroken.

Prince Hendrick also gives a relief look.

"Thanks, that'll help. I knew you were from another country, but when it comes to Ophilia, you're the only ones I can count on."

"You can thank me after you find me. Hendrick than that. Do you have any idea where Lord Lantinotes might be headed?

"I've been thinking a lot about it before I got here, but not at all. Now I think we really didn't know what Edward was thinking..."

"No clue, or..."

A dripping Prince Hendrick and a Fried to think about what to do. I was staring at those two in a hurry, and I realized hah.

Looking for someone with no clue. And just the right person was in Irvern right now.

Plus, I'm looking for a job!

"Freed! What about Abel!?"

When I accidentally got up off the couch and gave him his name, Fried would have noticed as well. He looked me in the eye and nodded.

"Right. Asking him would be the surest means. Liddy, I'm sorry, but can you ask Cain to go to Abel's Inn?

"Of course!"

Almost at the same time as my reply, I waited from Prince Hendrick but hung up.

"Hey, wait a minute. Well, who's Abel? I need you to help me, but I need as many people as I can to know about this."

Prince Hendrick's concerns were particularly acute. Freed also stands up and explains quickly.

"He's a former Sahaja informant. Not long ago, we were mostly tormented by him, too. Now there's a chase from Sahaja and he's fleeing to Irvern. His arm is certain. If you don't have a clue, I think you're quick to rely on him."

"An informer?

Hearing Fried's explanation, Prince Hendrick's eye color changed.

"Oh. That, too, is awesome. We need to find Princess Ophilia as soon as possible, every minute. No? I don't think so."

To Fried's inquiry, Prince Hendrick agreed as he had decided to be prepared.

"... I get it. I'm pretty sure it's your recommendation.... Regards"

Turning to Fried and me, Prince Hendrick bowed his head deeply. And snorted firmly, and I called Cain.

"Cain."

……

Did you care because there is Prince Hendrick? Unlike usual, Cain appeared without difficulty from the balcony, not from the ceiling.

The wind felt good in the morning, so the window was open. Cain, who came inside from there, ignored Freed and Prince Hendrick and looked at me.

"What, princess?"

"Please, Cain. I need you to do Abel a favor. Reid is missing. The killer is probably a knight with a side. The crime time is between midnight and early morning yesterday. I don't have a clue. I'm sorry I only have this much information."

Quickly conveying the minimum information needed, Cain's eyebrows stopped in the center.

"A knight with a side is that lousy guy. Princess, can I pay Abel for the information, for how much?

I immediately answered Cain.

"In words. I don't care how expensive it is, find Reid. If you find me, I can increase my reward for success even more."

To be clear, Cain looked surprised.

"By the way... is that good? I'm sure he'll plug it up, huh?

"I don't have the time to negotiate. I want to help my friends. I'll give you as much money as I want. So, please. Would you ask me to be the fastest?

"... ok. If the princess says she wants to, she's right."

"Please."

Cain nodded and disappeared from the spot.

Fried comes to my side.

"Don't worry, Liddy. Because I'll have the whole cost."

I knew you cared, but I shook my head to the side.

"Fine. Reid is my friend. I'm not gonna ask you to give me money to help my friends."

No, I'll get it out.

It was Prince Hendrick who had pinned his mouth on our exchange.

"This one has all the costs I've spent. No, I want you to let me have it. I need you to help my sister. It's obvious. Of course, I don't care how much it costs."

"Your Highness Hendrick... ok"

I nodded to Prince Hendrick, who said to help my sister. Because I want to pay for it myself, even in his shoes.

Fried tells Prince Hendrick.

"And then... right. Hendrick, can you reschedule me and you for today? Keep in mind that you will guide me on the Wang Du inspection. And, Princess Ophilia, make sure you're with Liddy all day. If you say so, you'll have it for a while."

"Yeah, you are. Let me do that. Lady Lydiana, let me use your name, but I'm sorry."

"It's okay. I had no business today."

Nodding, Prince Hendrick tried to get out of the room quickly. Freed calls that off.

"Hendrick."

"What? I'm in a hurry."

"I'm sorry, but my side, I'll tell Alec what's going on. Everything I rescheduled for today hangs on Alec. You wouldn't be convinced if you didn't explain exactly, and if you knew what was going on, you'd be well deluded when we went outside to rescue Princess Ophilia. That's what he's good at."

I heard about Fried. Prince Hendrick nods as convinced.

"Okay. Sure, because if you don't have about one collaborator, that's what you'll find out without Ophilia. Got it."

That's what Prince Hendrick said, and now it's time to leave the room.

Become two with Fried. I grabbed Fried's arm cuddly and stuck to him perfectly.

I was anxious, I had no choice.

"I can't believe Reid was kidnapped..."

I was having a relaxing breakfast. That sounds like a lie until just now. But this is reality.

Reid was kidnapped and is now missing. I have no idea where she is.

I sincerely wish my friend well, Fried said.

"Liddy. I know you're worried, but you have to be as firm as you are at times like this"

"... yeah"

Fried's right.

Even if I mourn here, it won't help Reid. Isn't all I can do now enough to be ready to go out at any time?

It's very hard to just wait.

I stared at the window where Cain had left and exhaled small.

"... I hope Abel finds Reid"

Desperate situation with no clue.

If you think about Reid, you need to find her a little faster.

Now I just had to hope that Abel could identify Reid's location.
