"Brother, think positively. In the end, you've weeded out the untrustworthy."
Diana soothed Elliot, patting his shoulder.
Because there are so many enemies, Elliot carries more than ten elite escorts with him whenever he goes out.
But this time, why was he attacked so helplessly that he almost had a hole punctured in my neck?
“That bastard stayed by my side for five years trying to kill me, that’s crazy!”
Because the attacker was one of the escorts.
“Father, why are you doing this...? Please don’t turn on the disarm again. Don’t make me regret it after I’m dead...”
Elliot said, sobbing.
Disarm.
Elliot, have I seen him once? No, twice?
13 years ago, when he killed his uncle who had <Instant Death>, my father's blessing was last used and has not been activated since.
The reason my father suddenly turned on his blessing, which he didn't even use, was because of Marina, the eighth child, running away from home.
"She's still young, so it's understandable that she rebels and does things like that. You wouldn't kill your son at home to catch your daughter who ran away, would you?"
"...I get it."
Elliot, who had been in a near-death situation for the first time in a long time, kept chattering incessantly.
"Diana can't do any work either. I wonder if our Gabi is okay?"
Edgar waved his hand as if to tell him to stop talking, but Elliot continued to talk.
"Do you remember that three days ago, there was a prayer service for salvation in Rome? You didn't even call Gabi, did you? How flustered must he have been? A hundred believers must have fallen away?"
Edgar rubbed his throbbing head. Diana, who had been watching him with pity, said.
"What?"
“Yes! Little brother, are you upset? Is it my fault you got stabbed?”
"You're always getting on my nerves. You burn things. You don't like them because you're upset. The person who sets fires all the time has been quiet for over three days. Unless you're an idiot, you'd probably notice your condition. You saw this as an opportunity and pounced."
"Ha..."
"Brother got stabbed, and now everyone's talking about it! Is there something wrong with our abilities? We need to increase our guard by dozens for the time being, and we need to bring Marina back quickly, but Father's worried about us, so he can't even activate his powers!"
It was so true that he had no words to refute it.
"And don't call me to work! Why are you even treating all the kids you bring with you like that? The burn marks are so disgusting!"
The two children continued their noisy bickering.
Edgar, meanwhile, swept his gaunt face over the past few days.
“The return of the handsome man!”
The handsome Ryan stretched his arms out towards the sky again.
"Thank goodness. I was really worried because your face was so bad. Ryan, you look like you've been in hot water for a week or so. You look like a dog with eyes, nose, and mouth..."
“...Are you worried about me, or are you cursing me?”
“Of course I’m worried.”
Merchen, Ryan, Nike, and I are preparing to head to Farnese with our two horses stationed.
We'll be back, but Nike will join the punitive force as soon as the Farnese investigation is over...
Say goodbye to the rest of the family here.
They all came out and greeted Nike.
“Your Highness, take care. Thank you.”
Our polite Alex.
“I’ve been very rude these past few days. Please forgive me.”
And Revan,
“Take care.”
Unfortunately, I was not allowed to go with Kali because only a minimum number of people could go...
As I watched Nike kindly greet the family, I waved back to them as they went back to their accommodations.
And I'm about to leave.
Nike is blinking and looking at me.
A look of confusion.
“Are we going together?”
“...Huh? Oh, yes!”
What! Wasn't my companionship agreed upon in advance?
Nike looked at Ryan, shaking his head as if to say no.
"Mom..."
Ryan glanced at me and smiled awkwardly.
"Your Highness, I ask for your understanding. Merchen and Vania are inseparable."
"What?"
"Ah... that's right. I hope you understand. Last time we were apart, something terrible happened. I was so lost that I missed Vania so much... We have to be together forever."
“...?”
Oh!
I immediately explained to Nike, squeezing between the two men who were just spouting nonsense.
"Your Highness, I don't mean it strangely. I just want to be able to handle any accidents that may arise!"
Since I'm not a person with special abilities, you'll probably notice it, right?
Of course, Nike has forgotten all his memories with me, so he won't mind these remarks and won't misunderstand them...
An explanation is essential to avoid any future trouble. Until the day we become lovers again, I'll make it clear that I'm a pure-hearted person who hasn't even glanced at another man.
I swallow hard and look at Nike's expression...
I can tell what my man is thinking just by looking at his expression. Fortunately, he seemed to understand my words, "We can handle it," and "We absolutely must go together."
But, he seems a bit uneasy, thinking, ‘A child in a dangerous place again?’
In the end, he nodded with a sigh!
"Oh!"
The moment the departure was decided!
I looked back at Ryan.
He placed his index finger on his lower lip and tilted his head innocently, as if he had no impure intentions.
“Hmm. I’m a little awkward with Prince Merchen, so I think it would be better to ride with Dad.”
“Yes?”
Ryan put his index finger to his lips with the same expression as mine and tilted his head.
He turns around with his eyes sparkling and an innocent expression that doesn't match his size at all.
“What nonsense? Of course, it would be better for father and daughter to ride together.”
“...”
Damn it. If only she hadn't gotten caught in those pink panties, Ryan could have been the best sidekick ever. Instead, he became a huge obstacle to love.
Diana soothed Elliot, patting his shoulder.
Because there are so many enemies, Elliot carries more than ten elite escorts with him whenever he goes out.

Edgar rubbed his throbbing head. Diana, who had been watching him with pity, said.
“Stop it, brother. This isn't Dad's fault—it's all your fault.”
“Gabriel, just use his health as an excuse to postpone the prayer. If my brother hadn't caused all this trouble, who would've known we were incapacitated anyway?”
"You're always getting on my nerves. You burn things. You don't like them because you're upset. The person who sets fires all the time has been quiet for over three days. Unless you're an idiot, you'd probably notice your condition. You saw this as an opportunity and pounced."

It was so true that he had no words to refute it.
"And don't call me to work! Why are you even treating all the kids you bring with you like that? The burn marks are so disgusting!"
"Hey, how could you say that! Fine, I get it, I was wrong! I'm sorry!"
Edgar, meanwhile, swept his gaunt face over the past few days.

“...”
Damn it. If only she hadn't gotten caught in those pink panties, Ryan could have been the best sidekick ever. Instead, he became a huge obstacle to love.
"Well, is that really necessary? The horse may look sturdy, but it'll be tiring to carry two men."
Then Merchen said.
“How about taking one more?”
“Ah! Prince... no, brother, do you know how to drive a horse?”
"Yes? Of course. Riding my beloved white horse out to see the flowers was a joy. I often rode with the Princess... no, my younger sister."
Merchen's expression, which had been speaking absentmindedly, became bitter.
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet with silence.
“Hmm...”
I felt sorry for Merchen, so I held his hand hesitantly.
"Ahaha! Anyway, since we have a lot to say, let's take another horse. I'll give you a ride, so come with me, Vania!"
He spoke deliberately cheerfully.
I smiled and nodded.
“Yes, I like it!”
And then we go together to the stable behind the inn...
"For a moment."
... Then, Nike grabbed Merchen’s arm.
As soon as I saw that sight, I slowly took a couple of steps back.
Because...
I wanted to capture the two men in one view.
'Ah.'
The most handsome Nike in the world.
The most handsome Prince after Nike.
It is a shockingly spectacular sight to see two people at once.
“Isn’t the drawing style a bit different there?”
Ryan muttered next to me, as if he felt the same way.
Merchen tilted his head, his wrists still clasped. His bright blond hair fell with a rustle.
"I..."
And Nike opens her mouth, looking at Merchen with affectionate eyes.
“...I want to give you a ride.”
...?!
