night garden.

The person who came into Fernando’s field of view as he looked up at the full moon was someone he knew well.

Isabelle. No, it was because I was possessed by Isabel.

You came to keep your promise.

By the time Fernando found her, a smile began to spread on his lips. He looked around and saw Isabelle hurriedly walking, which made him feel strange.

Dressed in thin pajamas, she moved cautiously, observing her surroundings with thinly opened eyes.

Her heels were off the ground, she was creeping close to the dark, damp wall.

I wonder if I can hear breathing under the yellowish square window frame, so I walk with my mouth closed.

When I pass under the bright moonlight, I stretch my legs out for fear of being seen by others, and I pass by at once.

No one is around, so why are you doing that when you can just come out?

Full of doubts in his heart, Fernando first started moving to approach Isabel.

In any case, she would have come out to meet him.

“move… … .”

Fernando, who was about to catch his breath and shout the name chased under the moonlight, had to be cut off in the middle.

It was because he saw a side of Isabelle he had never seen before.

After jumping in place for a while, she wondered if she was measuring the gap with the wall.

passed as it is

In his wide-open eyes, only the fluttering hem of her already-disappeared skirt lingered.

“… … bell?”

The meeting place must have been here, right?

I didn’t know that my gaping mouth would close.

The gaping mouth starts to dry up slowly.

My brain couldn’t understand what the hell had just happened, so my reaction was delayed.

A dog chasing chickens stared blankly at the wall, like a dog looking only at the top of the roof.

Beyond the wall was a place he knew well.

Because there was an inn where Fernando from Aragon was staying.

the problem is… … .

It’s not just Fernando who’s there.

He is waiting for Isabel here.

She had already told her, and she was clearly aware that Fernando was not in the dorm.

‘You will be destroyed.’

Why does it remind me of the curse of the second brother who whispered in my ear with his face dyed purple?

Following Isabel, who had already disappeared, Fernando also climbed over the wall and headed to the lodging where the suitors were staying.

Fortunately, she didn’t notice as she hurriedly stepped forward.

Lee Yoo-ra hurriedly moved toward her destination.

Although it was Isabel’s untrained body, she could move quite nimbly, if not at a satisfactory level if she used her magical powers.

Gotta go fast.

It was obvious that the ladies-in-waiting would annoy her if she messed around for no reason, so her steps naturally became impatient.

Isabel’s memory clearly showed that the maids were not afraid of what the king would say after receiving the report, so the later work was annoying.

Whether it’s a princess from a family or a princess from a kingdom, there’s only one thing that loses value when it gets into gossip.

Passing through the garden of the royal castle and over the wall, I headed to the back garden where the golden sun would be.

Sweat began to form in the palms of her hands that gripped the hem of her nightgown.

I managed to get to the vicinity of the patronage by stealing the beads of sweat on my forehead.

Is it the aftermath of the banquet and drinking party?

Most of the suitors have already gone to sleep, and most of the buildings in a row have turned off the lights.

Hiding among the tall green ornamental trees, he remembered where Ivan’s quarters was.

Among dozens of buildings, the one she wanted was located exactly on the outskirts of the cluster.

So, as she moved through the bushes without difficulty, there was a long shadow stretching in front of her eyes along the bend.

Its shape was very different from that of a normal human shadow.

The skeleton is much broader than that of humans.

The place where the neck should be narrowed is rather thick and covered with something.

Lee Yu-ra could only hold her breath cautiously as she poked her head out over the shrubbery that covered the bend and saw the scene of the patronage.

‘Where do you think you’d like this guy the most?’

When she was young enough that her hair barely touched her father’s chest, Lady Taesang had said to her while petting the head of her pet tiger.

I pondered for a moment that this was the reason for the long braided hair.

I remembered the video that the homeroom teacher of the middle school I had just entered showed me, and answered confidently.

‘Wouldn’t it be nice to let them live in the wild like the others?’

At her answer, Taesanggajoo laughed and pushed the tiger away and stroked its head.

‘It’s not bad to live as the world has decided.’

She left her hair for a while in the hands of her grandfather, who raised her on behalf of her father, who had been working hard on training.

‘But it’s Yura.’

He stopped stroking his granddaughter and replied in a caring voice.

As he looked up, he could feel the years in the wrinkles around his eyes.

‘Would a guy who was born here and lived comfortably all his life really like going back to nature?’

As I moved my gaze along the tip of my grandfather’s pointing finger, there was a tiger licking the top of his foot, lazily hanging out as if it were his own world.

‘Remember this one. Whether you are a human or an animal, if you are in the most comfortable place, your true nature will come out. I want to put this to good use on the people below you later.’

Right now, in front of Lee Yu-ra’s eyes was Ivan, who was leisurely strolling around the back garden.

Is it because his face is that of a lion?

It seemed to overlap with the tiger I saw as a child.

‘It’s quite useful if the leash is properly filled.’

Because of his height, his face seemed somehow comfortable as he roamed among the shrubs that reached his face.

Even within the academy, I had seen his face a few times.

However, at any moment, such a comfortable expression was the first time he had seen Geum Taeyang.

I looked up blankly at him as he walked with his hands behind his back.

Geumtaeyang, who sometimes took a deep breath and gazed blankly at the shrub, gradually grew larger in Lee Yu-ra’s field of view.

He stepped backwards in the face of the man who had come closer before he knew it.

As she hurriedly stepped back, her foot tripped on a protruding rock.

“uh… … !?”

Pulled by gravity, the back of my head began to sprint toward the floor.

Although it was Lee Yu-ra, who was preparing for the shock he would feel by closing his eyes tightly.

– Grumpy.

The back of the head was fine.

Instead, she opened her eyes as she felt something on her back.

Her eyes were full of golden mane.

The lion opened its mouth, flashing its sharp fangs, staring into her face with long slit pupils.

* * *

Late at night after the first day of the banquet.

I got out of the dorm and walked around the support. Ivan’s body was that of a lion, and at night he became even more energetic.

It must be because of the evidence of nocturnal nature.

I moved my feet to the support near the accommodation.

Fortunately, I didn’t see anyone in the sponsorship who would disturb me.

In addition, the reverberation of it still lingered in my head, probably because I had entrusted myself to Ivan’s emotions during the duel.

The nobles who drank alcohol and enjoyed the banquet must have already fallen asleep.

I wandered through the maze-like shrubbery where my feet took me.

After a long time of relaxation, something that had been tightly tightened in my chest was released, and drowsiness came.

He remembered the duel in the garden near the banquet hall.

Looking at Lee Yoo-ra’s reaction at that time, it’s clear that he conveyed it clearly. As long as she notices and points at me, it’s over.

If you raise the ceremony, you’ve found a partner named Lee Yu, so it’s clear.

Clear because I facilitated the union between humans and subhumans.

It has its own happy ending.

So let’s stop thinking about this. It’s a peace that I haven’t seen in a while, but I don’t even want to think about work.

okay! Rather think about the sword.

This side is also productive in terms of my development, and even if I think about it, the time went well.

Is it fun because you have talent? or vice versa.

It was a part that I couldn’t figure out with my current insight, but what about it.

He recalled the duel that took place during the banquet.

It could have been killed, but the king’s intervention ended it in the middle.

If I had pushed the sword that half dug into my right wrist a little deeper, I could have cut it completely, but that was enough.

The fact that there is no magical blessing means that there is no recovery-type superpower either.

Rehabilitation will take a considerable amount of time to recover.

At least for the time I’m in the dungeon, I won’t be able to pick up a sword again.

Wielding the sword while surrendering to my emotions wasn’t my favorite way to do it. I know the future, and as a possessor, I prefer to kill my emotions when I ‘work’ to extract the maximum efficiency with the minimum amount of effort.

“Damn it… … .”

I think this is also a job.

He took a deep breath.

At first, I was definitely enjoying Museon, but it seems that I was under psychological pressure without knowing it because of the tension that I must do something to make myself comfortable in the future.

To return home, I headed towards the alleyway in front of me.

Even the alleyways were overgrown with greenery.

Rather than thinking like this, let’s heal while looking at the green grass around us.

I’d rather be many times more productive this way… … .

the moment you turn a corner.

“uh… … ?!”

Lee Yu-ra appeared in front of him.

I didn’t even have time to think.

As she tripped on the protruding boulder, he reached out to her waist and hugged her.

What the hell do you eat and how do you manage it?

Her waist was thin enough to fit within her forearms.

It felt like it would break with just a little bit of force, so the grip in my hand was gone.

Her face, with her eyes wide open and her mouth quivering, was very cute.

And for a while, her pupils slowly opened and widened, and I was put into the blue lake.

“… … .”

Silence is not the absence of dialogue.

Humans had an excellent means of communication called body language that had been practiced before the invention of words and writing, and we asked each other with our eyes at a distance close enough to face to face.

‘Why are you here?’

‘I am… … , are you taking a walk? What are you doing when you’re not sleeping?’

Her eyebrows rose sharply.

I was dumbfounded and looked at it for a long time.

‘To take a walk at night, does the princess seem to be full of energy?’

‘Should I match the bravery you showed during the duel? Count Hrabach.’

It seems that there was no solidarity at all while working in the same class and group at the academy.

Clearly, we were just quietly staring at each other’s faces, but our conversation worked.

“… … Would you like to go inside? You look like you have a story to tell.”

“oh. I would appreciate it if you would do that.”

He quietly retrieved the hand that had been wrapped around her waist.

It seems that her slender waist is still in the palm of my hand.
