Ryan couldn't believe Nike had given panties to a thirteen-year-old.
Because we were separated by circumstances beyond our control, he felt sorry and tried to bring us back together, but I was wrong...

He threatened to remove me from the family register if I told him I wanted to marry Nike later.
“No, really!”
“Then give me an excuse that I can accept!”
“Ouch.”
I didn't receive the panties. I bought them, and they ended up in Nike's hands by mistake, so he didn't believe me when I told him he had to return them.
“You’re lying to me?! You were with me 24 hours a day. When did you ever meet the Third Prince?”
“I just happened to see him!”
“Wow, and even if you did meet, why did you give him panties? How could you give something like that by mistake!”
Ah, should I just turn around and find some light?
...I wanted to, but I promised.
I decided not to tell Ryan about that day.
I couldn't tell Nike later on, for fear he would be disappointed if he found out that I had somehow confessed to Ryan.
Trust is important, yeah.
I guess I'll just become a pervert once.
At that time.
“Miss! Are you going to sleep?”
I met Max in the hallway on the second floor of the dorm.
His brown hair was wet and fluffy, like a puppy's, as if he had just washed it.
“Yeah, where is Max going?”
"I have to go out and stand guard. If any dark forces are targeting God, I have to deal with them. Quick!"
Max made a fuss and pretended to shoot a gun.
“Max, a man of burning passion who has decided to sacrifice his entire body for God!”
"Hey, that's a good position. I give you so much money, you should stay up all night and pay for your meals."
“Haha, that’s right. Then have a good night, you two!”
Max winked and went outside.
Looking at his back, I felt a little sorry for him.
"Is it really true that he's being made to stand guard outside the quarters without even getting any sleep? There are plenty of royal knights here, so there's no need to suffer like that..."
“There’s no harm in being careful.”
Ryan shrugged.
Well, right now, our family, including the monster Prince and the god who controls death, is sleeping in this room without any knowledge of the world...
As Ryan said, it never hurts to be careful.
“That guy, he used to be a private soldier in our house?”
“Max? Yeah.”
I'm talking about before the regression. Max, who had the gentle appearance of a puppy, followed Kali to Wassenberg, and as a private...
‘...He was undercover.’
I swept my goosebump-ridden arm.
“Max, I’m scared.”
Having memories from before my regression, I couldn't help but be afraid of the Cerberus mercenaries, including Kali.
Fortunately, they're on my side now...
Their deep bond. Trust.
Secrets are kept more carefully than life itself.
They were vicious people who had been hiding their true intentions to destroy
Wassenberg for eight years.
Deep night.
It must have been around three in the morning.
In the pitch-black darkness, barely visible in the faint moonlight.
Max, who was standing guard behind the dormitory building, was startled.
'Oh, this kind of event is happening?'
Three assassins, armed with black clothes and masks, are rapidly approaching.
Just looking at them, they are assassins.
The target is also similar to this accommodation.
'Let's just wait. Our lord is still a cub, not yet ready to be assassinated.'
There's probably a member of the royal family staying at the hotel, right?
‘...I guess the target is the Third Prince.’
Max, making a quick decision, took out two knives from his pocket, held them in both hands, and faced the two assassins who rushed at him.
They were quite capable.
But how could he possibly be a match for an S-class mercenary who has lived off of knives his entire life?
After exchanging blows a few times, the two assassins, who had their thighs pierced cleanly, fell to their knees.
Even in the midst of all this, he never makes a sound.
'They're well-educated.'
He needs to figure out where those guys sent them from, so he'll put his life on hold...
“You come too.”
Max snapped his finger at one of the remaining assassins who was watching.
At that time.
"Wow, you're really good! You beat our kids in 3 minutes?"
In the deep darkness, another person appeared.
'What.'
Max immediately became nervous.
A woman who magically appeared through the darkness, even though he couldn't even sense her presence.
The woman who spoke while chewing gum with a bad expression was completely black.
Black hair cut short and spiked.
Black eye makeup, black lips.
“It’s certainly suspicious that someone as skilled as you is acting as Ryan Wassenberg’s bodyguard.”
A woman approached, snickering. She was holding a torch in her hand. The cloth wrapped around the end smelled of oil...
Hwaruk!
The torch went up in flames as the remaining assassin next to the woman lit it.
The pitch-black darkness has partially cleared.
A ‘shadow’ appears when a woman holds a torch in front of Max.
Footsteps of Darkness
At the same time, the woman disappeared.
Two weeks ago.
The capital, the Duke of Wassenberg's residence.
Duke Edgar Wassenberg summoned his eighth daughter.
“Marina, find out what deal was made between the Crown Prince and Ryan.”
Crown Prince, Bane Valencier.
Edgar had always found him annoying, like a grit under his fingernails.
The child is so full of energy that he doesn’t even know fear...
He often did things that deliberately irritated Edgar, as if he didn't want to obey him obediently.
Approaching Ryan and giving him a title must have been part of that provocation.
'You annoying guy.'
The royal family personally bestowed a title on the criminal Ryan.
This is an action that makes everyone question Ryan's criminal record.
The truth about the 'Konrad Massacre' that was buried in time 13 years ago will rise to the surface.
The Konrad Massacre is an incident involving scholars who attempted 'power transplantation' and Ryan, an 'incompetent' person...
Of course, no matter how much the bugs struggle, there won't be a single scratch on Wassenberg.
But it's annoying and irritating to have the events of that day brought up again.
There was a need to assess the situation and issue a warning.
“Find out if the Crown Prince is trying to use Ryan, or if there was some kind of agreement between the two.”
"Yes."
Marina, who was sitting on the sofa in a bad pose and chewing gum, answered indifferently.
"And give Ryan a proper 'warning' to stay away from the royal family. He's not stupid, he'll understand."
"Oh!"
Only then did Marina's expression brighten.
Edgar chuckled at his cute daughter's reaction.
'Warning'.
It means that murder is permitted.
Permission to leave a silent warning by capturing and killing those around Ryan.
“I’ll open your mouth. Don’t scream.”
Marina said, holding a knife to Max's neck.
Max was dragged somewhere with his mouth gagged and his arms tied.
It had to be that way.
The moment Marina disappeared from before his eyes, Max was unable to move for some reason.
And then he realized.
Marina has superpowers.
'Is this the ability to hide in the shadows?'
Marina lit a fire in the darkness, creating a shadow and immediately disappearing.
At the same time, all movements were suppressed, so that he couldn't even smile.
‘It seems like even the movements are controlled when the shadow is eaten...’

“Oh my, looks like a cute puppy—just my type... but it's pretty scary, isn't it? It even has the nerve to let the kids breathe. What, keep them alive for interrogation or something?”
Black hair cut short and spiked.
Black eye makeup, black lips.

Max, with his keen intuition, could immediately guess her abilities.
'Haha. What a crazy ability.'
It's so funny he can't help but laugh.
This is the world of people with supernatural abilities.
Marina released the gag that had been covering Max's mouth and tapped him on the cheek.
“Are you a good listener?”
“You told me not to scream? Haha, I’d get my throat slit right away. Are you crazy? I’ve been rolling around in this world for a long time.”
“Oh, I like it.”
“What is your purpose here?”
"I have a few questions for you. I'm going to ask you about your master, Ryan. If you have any secrets you know before I do, you can tell me. If you tell me everything, I'll spare your life."
“Yes, kill me.”
“...”
Marina's face hardened at the immediate answer.
