There was a reason why he let me down so obediently.
Am I the one who feels sorry?
"Ha..."
“If you’re not going to do it, I’ll go.”
"No!"
Shish's eyes turned into crescent moons.
Is this guy enjoying this situation right now?
But I couldn't ask Dietrich.
He would have been very persistent in asking what I was doing and would have even caught me, since I couldn't lie.
“Please close your eyes.”
"No."
Shish smiled brightly as if he had caught the ball.
I was embarrassed to meet the red eyes staring straight at me, so I covered them with my palm.
Luckily, Shish didn't shake my hand off.
Yes, it's for the greater good. To destroy the key, Shish's help is essential!
There was absolutely no selfishness in the kiss, there wasn't, there was no, there wasn't...
Why is this guy handsome even with his eyes covered?
My mind was becoming increasingly confused, and I took advantage of this opportunity to press my lips against Shish's soft lips.
And then I quickly took a step back.
Shish's slightly dilated pupils turned to me. The corners of his loose lips lifted into a smile of rapture.
Soon, Shish came to me and bowed his head.
“Yes. I will grant your request, Master.”
He whispered in a small voice, straightened his posture, and held out his hand to me.
When I took his hand, Shish held it tightly and added a word.
“So, how far did you go with His Highness the Crown Prince?”
Wait a minute, why didn't the alarm go off when such a dangerous question was flying at me?
“A palace?”
“Go to the villa?”
"Go to the festival, right? Why should I tell you? I'm your master."
“It’s not coming over.”
Shish pretends to be disappointed.
It's obvious that he already knows what happened.
After going to the festival and encountering a human trafficking ring, and the Princess's intrusion, I barely had time alone with the Crown Prince.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be angry.
“Let’s go, master.”
Shish, who escorted me, took the quick route and took me to the Rose Palace.
“Let me know when you decide on a day to go to the Magic Tower.”
“You didn’t go in?”
“Can I come in?”
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
The red alert sounds loudly.
"No!"
I immediately hit the nail on the head, and Shish smiled as if he knew it would happen.
"Could you tell me exactly what we should do at the Magic Tower? That way, I can prepare myself."
I was worried, but I said I had to find the book.
Shish, who had asked about the size and thickness of the book, lightly kissed my cheek.
“Yes. Get some rest.”
I briefly watched Shish's back as he turned around without hesitation, unlike usual, and then followed the maid's guidance into the palace.
Tieeeeee! Tieeeeee!
This damn alarm is going off when it doesn't need to.
As I was heading to the bedroom with a calm expression, the maid said, “This way,” and headed towards the living room.
“I’m going to rest?”
“Guests are waiting.”
I thought it was Dietrich or Yuno.
"What's the matter?"
I walked through the door the maid had opened and spoke to her naturally.
“Hello, Tri!”
But the person who stood out was the Princess with gorgeous silver hair, Lily.
There, a middle-aged woman sits in the living room with elegance and dignity as if it were her own space.
A woman with blonde hair and blue eyes stood up and spoke to me.
“Nice to meet you, Lady Hayley.”
“It is an honor to meet you, Your Majesty the Empress.”
Fortunately, survival mode was activated just in time.
“You are a very clever lady, just as I heard. To know that I am the Empress.”
The Empress smiled as if she liked it.
Yeah, that's because it looks just like I set it up.
My heart felt heavy as I thought about the fact that she was the one who would commit suicide right in front of the Crown Prince.
“I’m sorry for coming to the palace used by Lady Hayley without permission.”
“I am aware that everything in the palace belongs to Your Majesty the Empress.”
I bowed my head and showed my respect.
The Empress fell down, clutching the back of her neck, when the Crown Prince said he would take the female protagonist as his Crown Princess.
Then she came to her senses and fiercely opposed it.
The reason is that she found out that the heroin was spending the night with this man and that man.
Even in the Empress's favorite garden, she was caught doing so with several of the Imperial Knights.
The heroine didn't seem to mind, but the Empress thought for a while that the scene was a dream.
Who wrote such a morally unscrupulous story?
Yeah, it's me.
“Oh my, oh my.”
The Empress came to me, exclaiming in admiration.
“I heard from Lily that Lady Hayley is beyond reproach, and it is true.”
Beep beep beep beep beep!
As soon as the red alert sounded
“I am in favor of Lady Hayley becoming the Crown Princess.”
Wait a minute?
“Tri is so polite and smart, my goodness.”
Lily brought me to the pit of hell.
“She’s fast at running and beautiful. She’s perfect!”
Pushing me in here so I can never get out?
“I asked His Majesty a favor because the Crown Prince insisted that he would never allow me to meet Lady Hayley.”
“May I ask what you mean by ‘favor’?”
"I asked His Majesty to arrest the Crown Prince. In the meantime, I'm going to go see Lady Hayley! Hohohoho!"
The Empress, who laughs loudly, is in some ways very similar to Lily.
I desperately want to go home.
“Oh my, how about we take this opportunity to set a date for the wedding?”
“Is that so? When you’re in the palace, you’re merging the palaces.”
I didn't deny it, but I didn't think anyone would listen, so I just stayed silent. If you look closely, Lily is secretly acting selfishly, isn't she?
I thought this might happen, so I didn't go outside the Rose Palace after being caught by Dietrich.
I'm afraid that rumors about me will spread, and I'll get tired. I'm feeling a sudden fatigue.
The Crown Prince's wedding would have to be an official document, so it wouldn't have passed through Shish's hands. He wouldn't have allowed it to be stamped without a second thought.
“Lady Hayley, would you like to dine with us?”
"Let's go together. Our family is getting together tonight anyway. I'd like to go with you and introduce Tri."
But I still want to avoid getting seriously involved.
Shish might poison them. Even if Yuno fires a barrage of attack magic... the palace won't budge.
“If it’s okay with you two, I’d like to rest for a bit.”
I quickly added an explanation as I watched Lily open her mouth.
“I’m still in shock from what happened yesterday.”
“Oh, I forgot about that. I was so thoughtless.”
Lily, remembering being chased by human traffickers, took my hand and apologized.
“Get some rest, Tri.”
The two left the Rose Palace quietly.
Left alone, I let out a long sigh.
One thing that gave me a sense of relief, despite the increasingly complicated situation and unexpected events, was that my senior's mother would never commit suicide.
The next day, as soon as Shish arrived at the Rose Palace, I quickly brought up the matter.
“Shish, no matter what, hurry. Let’s go to the magic tower quickly.”
When Shish appears, Dietrich appears just as he was watching. Or Yuno, who has begun to regard the palace as her home.
“Shish?”
Instead of answering my urging, Shish tapped his cheek.
"Why?"
“What you did yesterday.”
“Why! I told you yesterday! Didn’t we promise to go together?”
“You said you’d go with me, but you didn’t say when you’d go.”
Right, this guy was that kind of guy, wasn't he?
If you don't set specific conditions, he'll keep nagging at you one by one. I completely forgot about that.
At least one screw is missing from the alarm.
Otherwise, the alarm wouldn't have sounded, and I'd be dumbfounded.
I quickly pressed my lips to Shish's cheek and then pulled them away. Fortunately, Shish stroked my head, as if this was enough.
“I still hate that my master went missing with His Highness the Crown Prince for two months, but there is one good thing.”
I didn't respond, but Shish didn't stop talking.
“You forgot what kind of being I am.”
Shish looked at me and raised the corners of his mouth.
"Or not,"
His smile grew wider.
“Were you so focused on the person you were with for two months that you completely forgot about me?”
The red eyes held a clear jealousy. A jealousy so strong that it wouldn't be surprising if a murder occurred today.
Shish is a mad minister who keeps his promises well, but he also achieves his goals well while keeping his promises!
For example, he might not kill someone with his own hands, but deliberately cause an accident to involve the person he wants to kill. Or he might poison someone, but disguise himself as a soldier.
I hurriedly denied it to prevent ny senior from going to the other world.
“No! What are you talking about! I was only thinking about you!”
Shish's smile, once ominously dark, turned pleasant. He relaxed his gaze and lowered his eyes slightly.
“I know it’s a lie, but it makes me feel good, so I’ll let it slide.”
“It’s true.”
I could have just let it go, but I insisted on saying something more.
I too was surprised by what I said and took a step back, while Shish stared at me with a look of disbelief.
The eyes, which had become unusually round, were unfamiliar yet lovely.
I looked away, feeling like I was suffocating.
“So when are you going?”
“How about going tomorrow?”
I changed the subject openly, but the other person obediently followed my intentions.
“Yes. Then I’ll come pick you up at Rose Palace tomorrow.”
Shish smiled faintly and left the Rose Palace, saying he had a meeting. I stared at his increasingly smaller back.
“Is that fortunate? I guess it is fortunate, right?”
Is it really a blessing? If it is, why does it leave a lingering feeling of regret?
Shish, why didn't you ask?
If you had asked me what I meant by 'I only thought of you', I would have just revealed my true feelings.
Am I the one who feels sorry?
"Ha..."
“If you’re not going to do it, I’ll go.”
"No!"
Shish's eyes turned into crescent moons.

“I’m going to rest?”
“Guests are waiting.”
I thought it was Dietrich or Yuno.
Having grown accustomed to peace, I failed to notice that if there were two of them, they would be waiting in the bedroom, not the living room.
I walked through the door the maid had opened and spoke to her naturally.
“Hello, Tri!”
But the person who stood out was the Princess with gorgeous silver hair, Lily.

“I am aware that everything in the palace belongs to Your Majesty the Empress.”
I bowed my head and showed my respect.
“Please withdraw your apology to the daughter of a mere Marquis. I am so ashamed I cannot lift my head.”
Then she came to her senses and fiercely opposed it.
The reason is that she found out that the heroin was spending the night with this man and that man.
Even in the Empress's favorite garden, she was caught doing so with several of the Imperial Knights.
