I looked up at Raphael’s face.

Let me be honest.

Until now, I had been avoiding Raphael out of embarrassment.

The words he had said to me were floating around in my head, making it impossible for me to flirt with him anymore.

But still…

‘This is cheating!’

…Raphael’s gift, that look in his eyes, made it impossible for me to avoid him any longer.

As if I had drunk some kind of stimulant, my heart was beating like crazy, and my cheeks gradually turned red.

Moreover…

That look in his eyes that seemed to say ‘never run away’ and ‘if you run, I’ll break your ankles and confine you’…!

Somehow my wrists felt cold. Was the bracelet also a kind of handcuffs, a warning of kidnapping and confinement…?!

‘Of course he didn’t say all this. But I’m going to interpret it this way.’

After perfectly finishing my one-man show of beating both the drum and gong.

I looked at Raphael and answered seriously.

“I won’t run away even if I die.”

Where would I go anyway? I’ll absolutely never run away!

How could I run away from such a rabbit-like husband!

“Like this, forever… Please be obsessed with me for life. So that even after death, we can be buried together as a couple…!”

“…Who exactly is talking about dying.”

Raphael moved away from me for a moment.

“No joint burial. I told you before.”

‘Ah, right. Push and pull…!’

I briefly regretted it, and he stared at my face intently before tilting his head sideways.

“Still…”

Raphael slowly tilted his head and briefly kissed my forehead.

Looking up at him, I felt that this moment was the most brilliant night ever.

The most brilliant night when our hearts connected.

But right at that moment.

‘…What is this?’

This sensation ringing in one corner of my heart was definitely not ordinary satisfaction.

A sensation like tiny cracks forming in one corner of my chest.

Momentarily, what surged up inside me was…

‘…This feels like coughing up blood?’

Blood didn’t actually surge up through my teeth, but it was a familiar sensation.

The sensation from when I couldn’t meet Raphael and death crises approached moment by moment.

‘Why on earth?’

But I was completely attached to Raphael.

There’s no way I could be dying…

My eyes shook with both excitement and fear simultaneously.

…The day I received the most perfect kiss, a heart-fluttering day.

Somehow I had the illusion that a death sentence had been pronounced at the same time.

***

At the same time, at the Princess’s Palace.

Even though Serenthia didn’t visit the Princess’s Palace, Prince Saxen continued to stay there.

While checking the several blueprints that Serenthia had given him, Prince Saxen’s eyes slightly contorted.

“She’s definitely talented. If she weren’t the Grand Duchess, I would have scouted her for the Imperial Palace.”

The blueprints indicated the possibility that a Divine had appeared and changed the Princess’s Palace design several times.

And…

[Blueprint]

“…We can guess based on the type of Divine.”

Prince Saxen’s gaze fixed on the memo Serenthia had written: [If the Divine is a rodent,] and similar text.

At the same time, his gaze moved to the floor of the Princess’s Palace.

Small squirrel fur could often be seen on the floor.

“Hmm…”

Then was the Princess’s Divine a squirrel?

The Princess’s Palace moved as if it were alive, revealing mazes that hadn’t been visible before.

But because Saxen had the ‘power to distinguish truth from falsehood,’ finding the right path within the maze wasn’t as difficult as expected.

“Moreover, lately…”

The power of the Divine surrounding this Princess’s Palace seems to be getting stronger and stronger. Though it might be my imagination.

Saxen looked around the interior of the Princess’s Palace as it transformed into a maze, as if searching it.

A pure white light emanated from his fingertips, then all the light around the maze went dark as if extinguished, before sparkling bright again.

Saxen wore a suspicious expression.

‘Certainly, my ability is functioning better than usual.’

The intuition came that this maze wasn’t a room the Princess had directly created, but one created by a Divine.

Prince Saxen folded the blueprint again and approached the 【Master Room】 marked on the blueprint.

Top priority.

A door that wouldn’t open, created where there had been an ordinary wall. And…

Saxen placed his hand on the handle.

‘It won’t open this time either.’

So he didn’t have much expectation.

But right at that moment.

The handle turned with a whoosh, and a small clicking sound was heard.

Saxen’s eyes, who had been keeping all his senses alert, instantly narrowed.

…The door to the 【Master Room】 had opened.

And what was visible inside was exactly…

***

Meanwhile, just when Serenthia and Raphael were confirming their love(?) for each other, and the Princess’s Palace maze was opening one by one.

Max Rosemary arrived at the Eastern Continent where his father was.

When he arrived breathlessly at where the Count was and faced his father…

“…F, Father?”

Max’s eyes widened.

His father’s haggard face looked so unfamiliar.

“What, what on earth is this state you’re in?”

Where had the man who used to lead everyone with blazing eyes gone, leaving only this elderly man who seemed drunk and confined to a small room!

“What about the design?”

“…I stopped. I just can’t get any inspiration.”

A man who had achieved many great feats as a great architect until now.

A man who created blueprints that everyone said would be impossible, and produced innovative yet artistic works.

Why on earth did such a father suddenly…

“Isn’t this a building directly ordered by the Eastern Continent Emperor, Father! How did this suddenly, su, suddenly happen…”

He heard that the Eastern Continent Emperor had promised considerable compensation to Count Rosemary. But giving up here?

Then, Count Rosemary called his son’s name in a murky voice.

“Max.”

“Yes?”

“I too… once had a time when I was a stupid fool like you.”

It was such an abusive remark filled with hatred and contempt that one wondered if it was really meant for his own son.

Max hesitated and stepped backward.

If there was one sharp judgment in his dull mind, it was this.

His father had gone mad right now.

“You, you seem very tired, so I’ll step outside for a moment…”

“Shut your mouth. We’re returning to the Capital City now.”

“What? No, Father! Without any plan?”

“Plan? What plan.”

“I, I did as you said, Father, and now Raphael Kairozen seems to suspect me!”

“How foolish. That’s not important at all.”

“…What?”

However, Count Rosemary was different from his foolish son who was obsessed with his own safety.

“To create the most beautiful work of art… I must return.”

“What?”

“Pack your things, Max Rosemary.”

“I’ll be in big trouble if I go back! Right now, I might be suspected of causing Raphael Kairozen’s rampage!”

Count Rosemary stared at his cowardly son and smiled refreshingly.

A twisted light appeared on the face of the man who looked like a half-crippled corpse.

“Really? Is that so, Max.”

“Yes!”

“So, what does that have to do with me?”

Max froze at his father’s incomprehensible actions, at the way he treated him like a discarded card.

Regardless, Count Rosemary thought.

…I will return.

Return and…

‘Mine. My great artistic talent, inspiration, and… all of it.’

…I will reclaim everything that is mine.

From Serenthia Rosemary.

His eyes gleamed ferociously.
