Beautiful eyes that feel like a black but clear lake..
I was trying hard not to lose my mind because I was deceived by him, so I finally asked.
"Are you really hurt?"
This is sincere. To be honest, I was really worried about him.
No matter how much he is a sword master, isn't he also a human being?
Although it is said that the bomb flying from the front was blocked by an aura, there is no way that it will not fly alive.
Whatever his intentions, he was a grateful person who treated me well during our meeting and even gave me a Thiels bracelet.
I was so sorry if he had been hurt even a little because of me.
Rudnine stared at me and opened his mouth after a moment of silence.
"Yvonne."
"Yes."
"There is no injury at all."
"Really?"
"...I'm embarrassed to say it out loud, but I'm a sword master. I don't think Yvonne will be satisfied, but I have reached a high level in my own way."
"...Yes? Ah... yes."
I couldn't guess what this man meant by saying this.
It was like a quick quiz, so I had to roll my head.
So, Rudnine Iels is a Sword Master.
Seeing that he suddenly declared my ability, is he going to go to a formal confrontation from now on?
"In the end, let's go the duel route."
Only now did I understand and accept his words, but at the same time, the future became dark.
I'm going crazy. I'm still struggling with magical amnesia!
I can't use magic yet. There was no more laughter.
Rudnine continued to say to me, whose facial muscles had become stiff and stiff a lot.
"I wasn't hurt. Merely... I didn't expect it, so I pulled out my sword and ruined the rose I was going to give to Yvonne."
Rudnine sighed as he stared sullenly at the broken bouquet in his hand.
There was a burst of sighs among the employees who were far away.
"As expected!! It really was!"
"Wow... It's so romantic!"
What? Oh my God. You mean it? Really? You brought that bouquet to give it to me?
I felt like my head was filled with a hundred question marks.
'Why the hell is that?'
Except for me, everyone mistook it for a sweet romance and looked around blankly.
Seeing them as if they were watching a drama with a pink imagination made me come to my senses.
'These people! Don't be mistaken!'
Rudnine definitely has a different meaning.
Or as a courtesy, hr would have brought a bouquet of flowers.
But I'm still glad he did.
Rudnine didn't seem to intend to accuse me right then and take me to prison or take me to a duel.
It may mean that he wants something from me and is willing to negotiate.
I had some hope, but I remembered the time when he had asked me to meet under the guise of a date to do my background research.
I hurriedly decided to change the topic by asking questions calmly.
"Rudnine, what did you come to the Argenthoz mansion for?"
"Oh, this morning, the Lord of the Demon Tower personally invited me to dinner."
"Father?"
"Yes, that's why I came to wait in advance."
'Ah.'
I nodded in agreement.
After all, Rudnine didn't come to see me.
But he still has a lot of time left to have dinner, so why did he come so early?
I glanced at the sun still floating in the middle of the sky and said as if shedding.
"You came very early, didn't you?"
"...Yes, yes, yes."
Rudnine smiled in embarrassment and touched his chin.
As I shook my head. I realized that I had made a mistake.
'Rudnine has very good manners, so he came early.'
When I ask him about the obvious, like a fool.
By the way, why did the Duke of Argenthoz suddenly invite Rudnine to dinner?
Is the Duke trying to officially return the favor to Rudnine as a way to thank him for his public confrontation?
But yesterday the Duke joined forces with Barden and told me not to be possessed by Rudnine.
Or are you trying to bring this man in front of you and train him not to be possessed?
In the confusion caused by the suspicious actions of the three men, including Rudnine, the bodyguard, Sir Quyen quietly intervened.
"Princess. I am the captain of the bodyguard."
"Yes, the captain of the bodyguard."
"As you know, there was a mysterious explosion on the main road of the mansion. Is there anything you know? Duke Iels has been hurt, so a definite investigation is needed..."
"That, that's..."
Embarrassed, I glanced at Rudnine, but he just stared at me with a calm face.
Meanwhile, the head of the bodyguard, Sir Quyen, continued.
"There is no one at the scene or any witnesses other than Duke Iels. But he said he didn't know, so I'm wondering now. No evidence left at the scene has been found so far."
"...He said he didn't know?"
Puzzled, I opened my eyes wide and turned my head towards Rudnine.
He was staring at me with mixed eyes.
'Ah.'
At that moment, I could see him stiffening his left hand holding a bouquet of flowers.
The flowers are gone, but his hands are clutching the handle that wrapped the bouquet. Between his fingers, I could see Carol's earrings and a piece of a magic bomb artifact.
'Huh?'
I blinked in disbelief, but I was sure.
He took care of the evidence himself.
Why?
I looked at his hands and eyes in confusion, and Rudnine smiled weakly.
'This person, now... Did you deliberately hide the evidence?'
My heart was pounding as if it had been electrified, and I cried for no reason.
'...Thank you.'
It didn't matter what his purpose and intention were. It was okay to threaten me in the future.
I was very grateful to Rudnine for not embarrassing me by openly speaking out about bombings or accidents in front of so many people.
He even has a sense of consideration.
I really envy a woman who will be loved by such a man in the future.
"Princess?"
I opened my mouth to the captain of the bodyguard, who urged me to have no answer.
"I... I don't know. Hahaha."
"Hmm. Then I'll investigate others."
I smiled awkwardly, staring at Carol, who was watching the situation from a distance, and strained my eyes.
Another hidden witness to this Incident, Carol.
Of course, Carol was a veteran of Yvonne's beast, so she kept her mouth shut.
Carol nodded quietly with a calm expression.
Now, I have to come to an agreement with Rudnine somehow. What should be agreed upon?
I really don't have any money. What the hell does he want?
I cautiously suggested to Rudnine.
"I... Rudnine."
"Yes, Yvonne."
He retorted gently.
"Shall we go inside together? You said it was okay, but I wonder if there are any injuries... Shouldn't we take a look?"
'I have to prove my alibi.'
Will Rudnine believe this amazing coincidence that Carol's earrings are a self-defense bomb magic artifact that suddenly exploded, and I noticed it and threw it outside?
But I had to explain it.
I had to come to an agreement somehow, so I prayed earnestly in my heart to create an opportunity to be alone with Rudnine.
Before the head of the bodyguard narrows down the investigation, let's make an agreement!
'Please, please, please. Listen to me!'
But the cry in my earnest heart was useless.
Rudnine frowned and said firmly.
"...Yvonne. I really didn't hurt a single hair."
"Yes! That's right. Because you don't know."
Without noticing, I continued to persistently persuade Rudnine.
"I want to treat it myself. You had an accident at this Argenthoz mansion, so I, as an Argenthoz mage, will heal you myself! So, come into my drawing room."
I shouted at him with a look in my eyes, telling him to believe in me.
Well, as you know, it was completely pure and empty.
What is healing magic?
As a magic amnesia patient who can't even feel magic, what kind of recovery magic do I?
"The lie gets slower and slower as the days go by."
While I was admiring my shamelessness, Rudnine's eyes flickered as if he was embarrassed.
Are you in conflict? No, I'm worried because I'm dumbfounded.
Yvonne Argenthoz is a strange woman who suddenly throws a bomb and then offers to heal him.
An eccentric woman who gives bottles and medicines.
I understood his distress, but I was looking at Rudnine with the most shameless expression possible.
Please, get caught.
But Rudnine asked me.
"Yvonne's drawing room?"
Why are you reacting to the drawing room?
It was a bit strange, but I urged myself not to miss this opportunity.
"Yes, to my room! Come into my parlor! It's so gorgeous and beautiful! And I'll treat it myself."
I poured out everything as if I were promoting the sale of an officetel and soliciting guests.
Rudnine's dark eyes shone more clearly at my words.
Positive response!
I sent a telepathic message with momentum.
Let's make an agreement by ourselves, Duke!
When I rolled my eyes and gave him an intense look to understand, Rudnine nodded in a trembling voice and muttered.
"...Yvonne's room, I want to go."
It was a self-talk so small that even my hearing couldn't hear it.
"Yes? Rudnine?"
Frustrated, I urged him, and Rudnine raised his right hand and hesitantly replied.
"Come to think of it, it looks like I was a little injured earlier."
"Oops! Are you hurt, Duke?!"
An escort knight nearby intervened and worried about Rudnine.
Fearing that others would take Rudnine, I hurriedly grabbed his arm and pulled him away.
"Oh my God, really? Get in quickly!"
"...Yes."
His voice from above my head seemed to tremble, but I couldn't care.
