Chapter 44

 

I urgently tried to return the ring to Louis Sauver’s hand.

 

[Affection 45%]

 

The Duke’s affection had dropped by a full 5%.

 

While I was screaming internally, the Duke skillfully hid his disappointed feelings and offered a new ring to Louis Sauver.

 

“I happen to have another identical ring artifact. Since Lady Sauver has also acquired an artifact, would you please accept this?”

 

Louis Sauver, thinking the artifact would be helpful, casually slipped the ring onto his finger and nodded to the Duke in thanks.

 

“Then I’ll see you at the hunting grounds. Please take care of yourself.”

 

As the nobles mounted their horses one by one and entered the hunting grounds, the Duke also bid farewell and walked toward his tethered horse.

 

After the Crown Prince, Louis Sauver, and I discussed gathering our horses, I headed toward where our horses were with Kaisis.

 

The horse whinnied happily upon seeing me.

 

Kaisis knelt on one knee so I could step on his leg to mount up.

 

Once I was on the horse, Kaisis looked at me and said,

 

“I’ll guard my master so you’ll never need to use that ring.”

 

Then he headed toward his own horse.

 

I was a bit nervous knowing about the events from the original story, but hearing Kaisis’s words gave me some reassurance.

 

* * *

 

Upon entering the hunting grounds, the atmosphere changed completely.

 

It felt chilly somehow, and I could already smell blood in the air.

 

The two men rode their horses at full gallop.

 

They didn’t even glance at the herbivore area and headed straight for the predator area.

 

Wait, in the original story, didn’t they visit the herbivore area too?

 

It seemed the events were getting twisted because of Beatrice’s bet with the Crown Prince.

 

I said urgently,

 

“Your Highness! How about we visit the herbivore area first?”

 

I spoke to the Crown Prince instead of Louis Sauver first, as my pride would be hurt otherwise.

 

Then the Crown Prince looked back at Louis Sauver and said,

 

“Beatrice, Lady Sauver suggests we visit the herbivore area first?”

 

“Then Your Highness should go to the herbivore area. I must go to the predator area to win our bet.”

 

Then the Crown Prince looked back at me again and said,

 

“Lady Sauver, she says she wants to win the bet against me?”

 

“Your Highness, could you tell that person riding ahead that winning a bet isn’t more important than losing one’s life? Ask if they plan to cross the river to the afterlife before we can even settle our bet.”

 

When I spoke sarcastically, Louis Sauver whipped his head around to look at me.

 

I glared back at Louis Sauver, not backing down.

 

While Louis Sauver and I were having our battle of nerves, the Crown Prince suddenly stepped in.

 

“A true man must challenge difficulties. Let’s go to the predator area.”

 

When even the Crown Prince joined in declaring we should go to the predator area, I had no choice but to follow with tears in my eyes.

 

Oh, my poor fate.

 

The Crown Prince, perhaps wanting to impress Louis Sauver, struck all sorts of poses while stealing glances at him.

 

As if asking him to notice.

 

But Louis Sauver didn’t even spare a glance for the Crown Prince and just rode forward looking ahead.

 

“Master, you don’t need to be afraid. No matter what happens, I’ll protect you. That’s my job, isn’t it?”

 

Kaisis, who had come up beside me, seemed to think I was scared and tried to comfort me.

 

I’m grateful, but Kaisis, I’m not scared. I’m just worried.

 

While passing through the herbivore area with tears in my eyes, countless rabbits and squirrels ran around us.

 

Before long, red flags came into view.

 

They marked the beginning of the predator area.

 

I swallowed dryly.

 

Now it really begins.

 

We entered the predator area, and shortly after, a fox charged at Louis Sauver.

 

“Kyaak!”

 

Louis Sauver instinctively released his aura and caught the fox in one strike.

 

My head hurt thinking the world destruction gauge might rise, but it was better than Louis Sauver getting hurt.

 

Louis Sauver also seemed to realize his mistake after releasing his aura and glanced at me nervously.

 

“Beatrice, you’re truly amazing. To have reached the level of Sword Master and handle aura so well. Truly amazing.”

 

The Crown Prince didn’t miss the opportunity and began showering Louis Sauver with compliments.

 

Louis Sauver forced the corners of his mouth up in a smile.

 

I deliberately kept my distance and followed behind them.

 

Since I didn’t know when wolves might appear, I planned to watch the situation from afar and alert the Crown Prince so he could save Louis Sauver if I noticed anything suspicious.

 

As I was tensely on guard, Kaisis came close to my side again.

 

Somehow, just having Kaisis beside me made me feel a bit more at ease.

 

* * *

 

Gye Deok-ho glanced back once at Rene following behind him.

 

Seeing Rene looking at him with worried eyes made his heart heavy.

 

He hadn’t avoided Rene because he wanted to avoid him.

 

He hadn’t deliberately raised the world destruction gauge either.

 

This was all for Rene’s sake.

 

While studying romance novels or whatever they were called to follow Rene’s orders, he discovered a common pattern.

 

Female protagonists don’t die. So he would be safe.

 

However.

 

“Extras can die, can’t they?”

 

According to Rene’s explanation, Rene was an extra. An extra who was the female protagonist’s friend.

 

Well, they had to follow some side story or whatever, so it was supposed to be a development where Rene and the female protagonist wouldn’t die, but no one knew what variables might arise.

 

The mission was to follow the original story, but that didn’t mean every event would happen exactly as in the original.

 

Since he and Rene had already possessed these bodies, following the original 100% was doomed.

 

Even if the main plot followed the original, there would be small variables, and even if such variables arose, he would surely survive, but Rene might die.

 

In fact, there was that time when Rene almost got stabbed by the Crown Prince.

 

Moreover, things that weren’t in the original were increasingly occurring.

 

Namely, black magic.

 

Rene would panic and get scared whenever he saw anything related to black magic.

 

This made him naturally realize something.

 

Here too, he needed the ability to protect himself—no, both himself and Rene.

 

If he were still Gye Deok-ho from South Korea, he would naturally have only thought of himself.

 

But the current Gye Deok-ho was different.

 

Without Rene, he wouldn’t have known he was possessed in a novel and would have nearly died again from rampaging around.

 

Rene was the first to give him the warmth of family when he was only used to checking and attacking people.

 

Moreover, the more time he spent with this kid Rene, the more his heart ached.

 

The young one seemed to have already experienced all the hardships of the world.

 

“I cut ties with them long ago. It would have been better if they didn’t exist at all.”

 

“Your life is really…”

 

“Shitty, right? Maybe that’s why I’m quite satisfied with this life.”

 

Watching the self-deprecating Rene, Gye Deok-ho suddenly had this thought.

 

Do you have to share blood to be family?

 

If you care for each other, that’s family.

 

Eventually, after completing the mission, he would return to South Korea, but until then, he wanted to let Rene feel some family warmth too.

 

Since Rene would continue to remain in this novel, he should first make Rene’s surroundings safe.

 

So to protect Rene, he worked desperately hard to learn swordsmanship.

 

While learning swordsmanship, he learned about Sword Masters.

 

Sword Master. One who has reached a level of swordsmanship that transcends human limits.

 

Yes, with this, he could protect Rene even more certainly.

 

Moreover, if he declared himself a Sword Master, others wouldn’t dare easily mess with Rene, his closest friend.

 

That’s why he had planned to learn swordsmanship only until he became a Sword Master.

 

And finally.

 

“At last! At last, aura!”

 

The aura that wouldn’t manifest no matter how hard he tried to death finally appeared during the sword tournament.

 

He had entered the sword tournament thinking that perhaps aura would only manifest when his life was threatened, and his prediction was correct.

 

Now that he had become a Sword Master, he was going to tell Rene everything that had happened.

 

But seeing the crack in the Sky turn even redder and Rene looking at him with resentful eyes, he couldn’t bring himself to speak.

 

So he ran away.

 

And to help Rene, he worked tremendously hard to obtain what Rene needed most.

 

Now that goal was right before his eyes.

 

Just wait a little longer, and he would go apologize to that guy with the information Rene wanted most in his hands.

 

As Gye Deok-ho made this resolution and turned around to check if Rene was following well behind him…

 

“Huh? Where did they go?”

 

Rene and that escort knight guy named Kai or whatever were nowhere to be seen.

 

Where did these guys go?

 

This was the Predator Area.

 

If by any chance Rene encountered a predator…

 

Gye Deok-ho’s face turned pale in an instant.

 

“Rene!”
