“Shish Milan, I don’t trust you.”
“Don’t believe me.”
Shish answered without taking his eyes off the book he was reading. He had chosen his own room, as no one had assigned him a room or interfered with his life.
Since the Magic Tower Lord came here, it must be because there are eyes to see, or it is easy for the Magic Tower Lord to track the people inside the Magic Tower.
It was the latter, as he had confirmed in advance through several spies that it was not the former.
The place where the heart is will be carefully managed by the magic tower master, and if he approaches it carelessly, his purpose will be revealed, so he has to take care of it all at once.
“Because you’re not the one I need to gain trust from.”
Retri said that he had a special constitution that could nullify Yuno's magic and that he couldn't detect his presence.
But now that he was gone, the Tower Master had to leave Magic Tower.
"I'm the one Titiana trusts the most! She loves me the most!"
It was only on the third day since Shish arrived at the top that Yuno emerged from her bedroom, his neck red and swollen. Shish glanced at this and chuckled.
“Since the damned Knight Commander disappeared, you’ve been monopolizing Titiana, so you think you’ve become something?”
"What?"
“Compared to you and me, who can satisfy Titian more?”
“That’s me!”
“Shall we try it out?”
Yuno tried to run his hands through his hair in annoyance, but he ended up hitting his glasses.
With a light gesture, Yuno picked up his glasses that had fallen to the floor and straightened his messy hair. His actions were a mixture of impatience and nervousness.
Shish lit a fire here.
“You may not know it, but His Highness will be here soon.”
After the Crown Prince returned, it was also a bait thrown because it was not known whether the Tower Master realized his absence or not.
“What? Why the Crown Prince?”
“Why? Isn’t it all the same reason?”
Shish closed the book and looked straight at Yuno.
“I know more about His Highness than you do. Or do you know more about His Highness the Crown Prince than I do?”
Shish added a word, looking at the top of the tower, who was clearly showing embarrassment and discomfort.
“What I saw at the palace a while ago wasn’t everything, was it?”
“What is that!”
Shish laughed inwardly at the angry reaction of the tower master.
It was clear that Tower Master was unaware that the Crown Prince had been away for a while. Tower Master wasn't one to skillfully hide his emotions, so this reaction was quite believable.
The knight commander and the knight-errant knight, who did not notice the Crown Prince's disappearance and reappearance, fell helplessly to Titiana.
The Crown Prince, who had returned from his trip, and he, who had noticed his absence, were unshaken by the appearance of Titiana.
“So, I would like to make a suggestion.”
"What?"
“I don’t want any more competition here either.”
The Tower Master was glaring at him.
“But if you kill the Crown Prince, Titiana will be angry, right?”
Looking at the other person's hesitation, it was as expected.
“So, how about the two people who met first forming a side?”
“What? Why?”
"Shouldn't we at least stop His Highness from making Titianna the Crown Princess? Titianna, I think she'd want to be Empress."
Given her personality, which likes to be the center of attention, she would not refuse the position of Empress, so Tower Master gritted his teeth at the story he had let slip.
“...What should I do?”
It came over.
“Milan, go over there and bring me something.”
“What?”
"Shouldn't we make her addicted to our bodies? We need something small to help with that."
Shish spread his index finger.
“A glass bottle about this size is in my study drawer. It should contain a green liquid.”
“Why should I bring that?”
“Hey, Tower Master.”
Shish, who called out to the other person with a sigh as if he was pathetic, crossed his arms.
"I'm a step ahead of you in this area, so listen to me. Or you can start investigating my record right now."
“I know, I know. How many women you slept with?”
Yuno stomped his foot and tried to teleport, but then glared at Shish.
“Don’t even dream of seducing Titian while I’m away.”
“That would break the alliance. I won’t do it.”
Before the answer could be finished, the impatient Tower Master disappeared, and Shish stood up.
Not doing it.
Shish's goal was to do everything he could to kill Titiana and Tower Master.
Shish opened the bedroom door on the top floor without hesitation and went in, smiling as he saw the woman lying naked.
“Hello, Titiana.”
“Shish!”
Titiana abruptly rose from her seat and approached him. The scent of love lingering in the room and the artificial scent of the woman approaching made him bite the inside of his lip.
“Shish, are you still going to refuse to do it with me?”
“I want to get to know you, too, Titiana.”
Shish said with a regretful tone, twirling her black hair with his fingers that didn't protrude a single joint.
"The Lord of the Towers doesn't give me time, so I don't have time to get to know you. You seem busy too, so I couldn't even talk to you."
“Once it starts, there’s nothing you can do about it.”
Suppressing the urge to cover his ears against the squeaky noise, Shish lowered his head slightly. Then, he gently blew his hot breath into Titiana's ear and whispered.
"I've taken advantage of the fact that Tower Master is away to sneak in. Even if he comes and gets angry, you'll stop him, right?"
He raised his head and narrowed his eyes at the woman.
At the sight of Titiana opening her lips as if her body was heated by a slight provocation, Shish pulled up his thin lips and smiled sweetly.
“Huh? Titiana.”
A beat later, Titiana answered in a cracked voice.
“Of course. Yuno can never disobey me.”
“Then. I can’t disobey you.”
Let's lift her up. Titian became excited and began to tell him one by one what she had done to Yuno.
“...I can go anywhere in the Magic Tower. Because I am special to Yuno.”
She was so excited that she didn't notice the flash of light in his red eyes.
“Yes, Titiana.”
"Yes?"
“Actually, I came because you were in a hurry. Are you going to do it?”
"Of course."
Titiana grabbed Shish's arms with both hands, her eyes sparkling with greed.
“I wanted to do it with you the most.”
There would be many men who would be attracted to her pure white, smooth skin and her sensual scent, but Shish's head would become colder.
All that was before his eyes was a lump of meat.
“The moment I saw it, my stomach churned, and I thought I was going crazy.”
The lump of meat speaks.
“How can that woman do nothing with a man like you? Is she crazy?”
At this moment, Shish desperately wanted to see the Retri he had pushed into a corner.
- Someone who will love you. And someone you will come to love.
If you mean someone who will love my body, then yes, this woman might be it.
But if you thought this woman was the one I would love, you were mistaken.
Shish recalled the whispers of Retri he had heard in his dream.
- I will make you happy.
Is there any word that is as distant from him as happiness?
“Shish, hug me right now.”
Shish pushed away the chunk of meat that was colliding with his body and took out two vials containing golden liquid from his bosom.
“Titiana, I have prepared something for you.”
"What?"
“I brought this because I wanted to give you the best moment.”
While the meatball was absorbed in the clear golden liquid, Shish murmured.
“It will be better if you drink this.”
"Yes?"
"Yes."
He handed one bottle to the meatball, opened the cap of another bottle, and drank it in one gulp.
“If that’s the case, then fine.”
The simple lump of meat drank the golden liquid, every drop remaining.
Shish didn't hide the corners of his mouth rising. What the two had just consumed was a poison made from a rare flower, Lorusia.
“Ugh, ah. My body really starts to heat up quickly.”
The poison must be taking effect.
Shish picked up the piece of meat, keeping it as far away from his body as possible.
“For the effect of what I just ate to be maximized, I need to do it in a place with a lot of magical power...”
Then he looked into her clouded eyes and smiled faintly.
“Do you know any places?”
Friesia had completely adapted to the Rose Palace and was enjoying herself.
Aside from the occasional terrifying glare, the Youngest Princess was a pretty pleasant conversationalist. She was teaching me about a card game that was popular in high society these days.
“I don’t think I’ve seen His Excellency lately.”
“I haven’t seen him either. My second-oldest sister said she hasn’t seen it either…”
Even Hyacinth, who roamed the palace, hadn't seen Shish. The Second Princess, who was closer to Friesia than Lily, was a good source of information.
“Friesia, could you please find out the whereabouts of His Excellency the Prime Minister?”
There's no way Shish wouldn't come see me like this. Something must have happened.
Beep beep beep beep beep!
As if my ominous premonition was correct, the red alert sounded.
“I wonder if His Excellency was still in the palace, and if not, where and when he was.”
I told Shish to stay in the palace as much as possible, as it was the safest place. He faithfully followed my instructions.
“Yes. Just in case you get lost, don’t go anywhere. Stay here.”
“Yes, I’ll be waiting.”
Friesia left the palace, and I went to the backyard to shake off the anxiety that was creeping up my ankles.
“Don’t believe me.”
Shish answered without taking his eyes off the book he was reading. He had chosen his own room, as no one had assigned him a room or interfered with his life.
Since the Magic Tower Lord came here, it must be because there are eyes to see, or it is easy for the Magic Tower Lord to track the people inside the Magic Tower.

The Crown Prince, who had returned from his trip, and he, who had noticed his absence, were unshaken by the appearance of Titiana.
He couldn't quite pinpoint it, but something strange flashed through his mind. Still, he had to focus on the person right in front of him.
"What?"
“I don’t want any more competition here either.”
The Tower Master was glaring at him.
“But if you kill the Crown Prince, Titiana will be angry, right?”
Looking at the other person's hesitation, it was as expected.
