6 Embassy of the Southeast Islands, on the eve of the duel

Shaw cried and begged me to stop dueling for myself. It took me a very long time to forgive Melissa.

"You can't forgive the person who tried to kidnap Melissa. Besides, I was hoping to settle with Sir Zaycroft sometime. So don't cry so much."

Melissa doesn't stop crying that her alarm is a duel.

"It's my fault that I walked on an unpopular campus after my final exam."

Shaw hugs Melissa so hard that she blames herself, it's not! I say.

"Melissa, I'm the one who needs to apologize for what I did to your dangerous eyes. Because I had a grudge against the Southeast Islands and I was sweet about Sir Zaycroft plotting a conspiracy in every country. I didn't know you could plan to kidnap me at the University of Paloma..."

I apologize for not thinking about the University of Paloma, even though I had the embassy security strengthened. I can't forgive my sweetness when I wonder what would have happened if Melissa in my arms had been kidnapped.

"But..." Let Melissa, still unconvinced, speak and listen to Sir Zycroft's conspiracy in various countries.

"Why is Sir Zaycroft so malicious of the Southeast Islands? The Kingdom of Salam is not supposed to be a hostile country..."

Shaw explains to Melissa, who finally stopped crying, about the Barbarossa crusade. Unlike Lara and Rosina, Melissa, who is aiming for the First Lady, can also speak of the darkness of politics.

"I knew they were crusaded pirates after Crown Prince Stewart's wedding, but I never thought Barbarossa would be royal. Sir Zaycroft is…"

Melissa is also a royal woman. At the same time that I am shocked that the royal family has fallen to the pirates, I feel angry that I cannot forgive them. And I realized that it was impossible to stop Shaw from trying to kill Lord Zaycroft, who would draw that blood. I can't imitate the aftermath of royalty in such a way that I leave it to others.

"You understand. It's not Melissa's fault you're dueling Lord Zaycroft. My father told me to kill him."

It's a gentle, gentle show, but it's the king prince of King Aslan. Melissa gave up on stopping the duel but still isn't worried.

"Don't you rely so much? I beat Captain Wonder, too."

Melissa smiles with her anxiety sealed in her heart at Shaw, who snuggles in a great deal.

"Well, if you beat Captain Wonder, Lord Zaycroft, you're an instant killer."

Though I said, my anxiety still builds up. Recall Zaycroft's cold eyes and tremble instinctively.

"Sorry, Melissa! I can't believe I made you look like that."

I can't help but love Melissa for forcing me to smile.

Mr and Mrs Wang, having been caged in the room, Ambassador Pasham asks how they were dueling from the escort and the version of the officer. Knowing Lady Melissa was about to be kidnapped, she scolds the escorts. On top of that, the version that was accompanying Prince Shaw came just fine.

... Don't even question the practice of not escorting Lady Melissa on the campus of the University of Paloma, she put Lady Melissa at risk. That's my big fucking fault! ……

"Lieutenant Version! With you attached, why didn't you kill Lord Zaycroft! It's a sword arm for what?"

The version excuses itself in many ways, but Ambassador Pasham does not have the ear to listen if anything happens to Prince Shaw. With self-blame, I take a strong attitude.

"I stopped, too, but Prince Shaw is stubborn once he mentions it. Besides, when King Aslan tells me you've been entrusted with the end of Lord Zaycroft, more than that..."

King Aslan! Ambassador Pasham is also weak when he is sent out King Aslan. Guess what King Aslan, who worships, thought what King Shaw's Prince entrusted him with the beginning and end of Lord Zaycroft, and stopped blaming the escorts and the version of the officers for anything more.

But even though Ambassador Pasham knows he is disrespectful, if Prince Shaw loses, he will have a worried, sleepless night in case he gets hurt.

Of course, neither the version nor Ambassador Pasham can ask himself if he managed to prevent Prince Shaw from dueling.

Shaw gives Melissa, who was shocked that she was about to be kidnapped, the sleeping pill she made the embassy therapist take.

"Keep sleeping until the morning duel is over..."

When you kiss a beautiful sleeping face softly, you head to the dragon house to convince your troublesome opponent.

"Shaw! Is Melissa okay?

Pushing Sands away, Melissa's partner, the dragon, storms in.

'Oh, Melissa is taking pills and sleeping. You should sleep because you're in a mental shock.'

Zordi gave way to Sands, who was feeling more anxious, who could not hide his frustration by treading his legs over and over but would come to see him when he woke up.

"Shaw......"

There must be a heap of things to say, but Sands doesn't say anything. That stains Shaw for rejection.

"Sands, I won't let you die. Because I'm gonna take out Zaycroft!

If you die, you lose Sands' life.

"I will never let you die!

Shaw had something to tell Sands.

'Please, I don't want you to help me with the duel.' Cause if Sands intervenes and I win, it's very dishonorable '

It was hard on Shaw to ask for this, but I have to tell you as a dragon knight.

"Oh, my God! I'll protect Shaw!

Shaw was desperate to convince Sands to be bored. Sands has never been as hard as tonight to convey Shaw's heart. Reluctantly, I swear I won't join the duel.

'It's okay! I'll definitely win!

On the eve of the duel, Shaw fell asleep on Sands' side.
