The plain and unnoticed me is no more

"Please hurry, Your Highness. Afternoon classes will begin."

"I know. After all, it's swordsmanship from this afternoon. Don't worry, I left Liam so I could be a little late."

"Really... but I'm not saying that's okay. It is a pleasure for His Highness to be having fun these days....."

"Oh, it's fun. I've got two friends I can talk to comfortably, and above all... fufu... No, that's right, Villem. I got your rice balls, too. I'm hungry. Let's get hungry before we get to school."

"Now, let's hurry back to school for Liam, who was forced to take your place for personal use. By the way, what's inside the onigiri?

"Come on? I didn't ask."

In front of the carriage, for some reason, there was Villem, who was supposed to always be on Will's side. There was a distance from where I was, and their voices were only slightly heard in the wind, and sometimes they got into the carriage immediately, so I could barely hear the conversation. However, only the words of Villem, who was facing us, could be read with lip reading.

The carriage ran away as soon as the two of them got on, and I couldn't thank the fridge after all, so I stood there stunned.

"What do you mean? Now... I definitely called him Your Highness..."

Isn't he a shadow warrior, named Fred, who resembles His Highness Wilfred?

It is true that the two are too similar. Though I thought so, Liam told me clearly that he was the same shadow warrior as himself. Was that a lie?

Before I heard Liam's story, I might have mistaken you for both shadow warriors.

But there should have been plenty of opportunities to correct that, right? And yet, you deliberately left me to misunderstand.

Even during the evening party, Fred presupposed that he would attend rather than His Highness, so that he would not realize that he was the same person.

It didn't mean that the conversation wouldn't mesh with me, and I was totally fooled.

If he were really Will, they'd say they trusted me, but they weren't.

I made a promise of blood once, but not much.

To recall, his behavior towards His Highness Frederick on that night club day, however faithfully he imitated the Lord's actions as a shadow warrior, could not have been without him.

I had a feeling of discomfort with him somewhere, but I was trying to suppose it was someone else until I undone it.

But that's because I believed them.

Because it's Wilfred, his nickname is Will and his pseudonym is Fred.

I wonder what a cheap pseudonym it would be if I realized it.

No one will know that a person in the position of Prince Wang stays in a regular inn every weekend without care or escort. That's why I can't help but keep it to myself as an ally...

Before I hide my identity, I can't tell them anything, but I'm a little unconvinced that I can treat them the way I've always done if I don't see them before.

Fortunately, there's still time until he comes to stay at the inn, so we'll have to sort it out.

Fred, who became friendly at the corner, felt very sad knowing the fact that he didn't really exist in the world, but when he learned about it, Fred disappeared from me.

You were His Royal Highness Prince Wilfred Timberlake. My favorite childhood friend in my memory, my first love partner. But those who are no longer deeply involved. Because you are the Prince of the King, and you will be king in this time of year.

On the other hand, I am outwardly chased by the Duke and I do not intend to return to the aristocratic society.

If I can make you feel the same way, I have to hide my identity. I abandoned the name Elaine Norris and chose to live as the innkeeper, Lana.

Will, what are you staying at my place for? Without an escort, coming every weekend, if anyone was after your life, I think it would be very dangerous and predictable.

Or is it more dangerous to remain in the royal palace? If this is the shelter for you, I'd like to keep you away from that danger just for the weekend.

I'll try to make sure no one malicious to you gets anywhere near this inn. When I was a kid, I couldn't, but now I have enough power to protect you.

Once upon a time, you mistook me for a child and hit me as hard as you could. Now I'll help you in the shadows.

Yes, I will definitely apologize to my grandfather and Will for erasing my memory without consulting me.

I don't remember how I got back to the inn, but somehow I stood in front of the entrance to the inn.

When I was bobbing, the door opened and someone came out and called out to me.

"Oh, Lana, are you out? It was delicious today."

I was greeted by a customer who had finished eating and returned to me happily, reflectively making a smile and sending greetings back to the customer.

"Thank you all the time. Please come again."

"Of course. I'll come back tomorrow."

I dropped off the customer in a smile and entered the inn as it was.

And when I went to the kitchen, Sin was sitting in a round chair and eating bail without going to the break room.

"Oh, welcome back. Did you see Miss Fred?

When Singh asked me that, I shook my head sideways with a fuzzy smile.

I have to keep the facts I just learned in my chest.

Thin and the others, who don't even know that he was a shadow warrior of the prince, can't tell him anything, and he won't even know it.

I'm sure Sin and Taki think Fred is a nobleman for a reason. That's why I feel comfortable talking to you, asking you to teach me how to use magic, and letting you stay in the hotel room.

Whether they were nobles or not, I'm sure they got along quickly, but what would happen if I found out they were princes...

Oh? Nothing has changed, and we may continue to hang out like friends. After all, when His Highness Frederick arrived, they responded without cowardice, even though they knew he was a prince.

When I was silent, Singh said a word of consolation. It looked like I was depressed as a shun who couldn't catch up.

Well, that's also true. Looks like they were in a hurry, too, and we can't catch up with your feet. You don't have to be depressed, but if it's the weekend again, you can come and thank them. "

"... that's right. I will. By the way, why is Singh eating here?

"Nothing... that's for when I need to add..."

"Ah... I see. I'm sorry. It's my fault. You can go to the break room now. It's not going to settle down here, is it?

Because I didn't come back soon, Singh seemed to have broken a hole in the kitchen so that he wouldn't leave the kitchen unattended.

I was going to come back as soon as I thanked him, but when I was walking with my thoughts, a lot of time had passed.

"That's fine. Look, I've already finished eating, and it's no trouble going over there now. So, is your body okay? You've cleansed them before, haven't you?

I see. Thin was worried about my condition and wanted to hear it, so he waited here. It's like saying, but when I'm dying of overwork, I'm probably worried because I was watching.

Still, I can't thank him enough for watching me, being a good advisor, and letting me do what I want to do, even though I'm being harassed.

"Thank you, Sin. I'll be fine. Last time, it suited my dying eyes. As you can see, the Goddess is well protected. Speaking of which, when I went to church, there was one more person who needed purification."

When I told her that I was fine, Sin was relieved of his tension and his expression softened at that moment.

"Seriously? I wonder if the Virgin did it of her own free will."

"... no way... if that's the case, the temple will be in trouble by now"

If, as Singh said, Sandra realizes that she can steal her beauty and abilities at her own will from the person she envies, the temple will be overflowing with victims. It seems that the damage has not spread so far, and I think it is fine there.

"I failed... I should have told the Virgin not to make contact with anyone other than the one who takes care of her. Is the priest still in church?"

When I turned to Ba and the door, Sin grabbed my arm and stopped.

"Wait, are you going to leave your face in the church? There's Irina over there who knows everything, so you don't have to rub it that far."

"Ah... that's right. That's right."

If you think about it calmly, you're telling the witch Irina everything, so you're probably thinking about how to deal with Sandra. Today, I told the chief priest directly not to let the witches and priest apprentices take care of the Virgin, so I'm sure he'll discuss it there and stop the damage.

Next, we need to purify the original fairy. How are you going to infiltrate the temple?

"Ah, well, I've asked you to turn the Virgin's caretaker into a civilian woman with no power whatsoever. I'm going to recommend Irina to hire me as one of them."

"I hope the temple side will do what it wants."

"You have no choice but to trust the chief priest."
