Chapter 55

When I looked at the dress with sparkling eyes, Louis came over.

“This one? Isn’t this too plain?”

“No, this is perfect.”

The dress made of light purple fabric with small diamonds embroidered all over looked incredibly luxurious.

It was puzzling why Louis hadn’t worn it yet.

“Beatrice, try this on.”

“This? Right now?”

“Yes, right now.”

At my firm answer, Louis made a displeased expression and went behind the partition.

A maid immediately followed after Louis.

How much time had passed like that?

“Is this right?”

Louis came out having changed into the dress.

I almost went blind right then and there.

I looked at Louis with a halo shining around him and clapped, shouting “Bravo!”

Then the maid also looked at Louis with a moved expression.

“Miss, you look truly beautiful…”

The maid wiped away tears with her fingertips and clapped as if deeply moved.

Louis, who received unexpected applause, scratched the back of his neck awkwardly.

After clapping for a while, I sent Louis back behind the partition to change into his original dress.

“Have all these dresses thrown away.”

At my command, the maids took away the dresses that had been classified for disposal.

Not long after, Louis came out changed back into his original dress and plopped down in front of me.

“Changing dresses once is exhausting…”

“That’s how it normally is.”

I told him we should wear the light purple dress we tried on today to the ship party, then dismissed the maid.

The maid left with an excited face carrying the dress, leaving only Louis and me in the room.

“Anyway, the Marquis does such pointless things…”

Though thinking about the dress Louis had picked, it didn’t seem like pointless work.

Anyway, I had tea time with Louis. In the middle of it, I remembered an important topic and pulled my lips away from the teacup.

“Oh, come to think of it, Louis.”

“Yes.”

“How about asking the Crown Prince about the origin of the necklace at the ship party?”

“At the ship party?”

Louis seemed to think for a moment, then nodded.

“Sure, why not. Anyway, that guy ran away without even facing the magical beast, so I practically won the bet.”

Louis lifted his head proudly as if recalling his achievement.

Well, bravely fighting against a magical beast like that isn’t easy.

I clapped for him and finished drinking tea with Louis.

When it was time for Louis to leave, I went out of the manor to see him off.

Kaisis, who had been standing in front of the door, followed me.

I turned around after sending Louis off to tell Kaisis that we had decided to investigate the necklace.

“Kaisis, I have something to tell you.”

“I also happened to have something to say. I’ll come to your room in a little while.”

Kaisis has something to say to me?

Could he be planning to tell me the reason he’s been cold to me lately?

I said I understood and went up to my room first.

Not long after, Kaisis came to my room.

Kaisis had a piece of paper in his hand.

Wondering what that was, I stared at it quietly when Kaisis held out the paper.

“It’s a contract.”

Oh, come to think of it, Kaisis and I had made a contract.

When I received the contract, Kaisis continued with a cold expression.

“There are about five days left until the contract expires.”

I swallowed dry saliva.

Could it be that Kaisis is planning to kill me in five days?

I thought I had built quite a bit of intimacy with Kaisis during this time, but I didn’t know what Kaisis was thinking, so I became nervous.

As I looked up at Kaisis while gripping the contract tightly, Kaisis said coldly.

“When the contract expires in five days, I plan to return to the North.”

“What?”

I was flustered.

Return to the North? So suddenly like this?

But then what about finding the black mage and breaking the mark?

No, more than that, Kaisis won’t be by my side anymore?

“Then I’ll be going.”

As Kaisis tried to leave the room as if he had finished what he wanted to say, I urgently grabbed him.

“Wait, Kaisis.”

When I grabbed his sleeve, Kaisis turned to look at me.

Kaisis’s eyes looking down at me were still as cold as ice.

At that gaze, I unconsciously let go of the sleeve I was holding.

“If, if Kaisis leaves, what about finding the black mage? And how will we break the mark…”

“We’ll each investigate on our own and contact each other later if we find a method.”

No, why so suddenly?

Before, he definitely said he needed to monitor me, didn’t he? But why suddenly…

“Wasn’t revenge important to you? If I die while searching for a method, Kaisis who is marked with me will also die. Then how…”

“None of that matters anymore.”

It doesn’t matter?

Kaisis was definitely burning with revenge toward the black mage until recently. And I thought we had become somewhat close too…

It doesn’t matter if I die, or if he can’t find the black mage for revenge?

“Why are you suddenly like this, Kaisis. Did, did I do something wrong? If that’s the case, please tell me. I’ll apologize and fix it. So…”

As I stammered and continued speaking, Kaisis quietly looked down at me, then silently turned around and left the room.

Thud.

The door closed and I stared blankly at the closed door.

Kaisis had changed.

No, I had known he had changed for a while, but I never thought he would be this different.

But why exactly?

Did I really do something wrong? But if that’s the case, he could just tell me.

Why won’t he say anything…

Suddenly, a feeling of sadness washed over me like waves and tears formed in my eyes without me realizing it.

“Kaisis…”

* * *

Kaisis, standing in front of the door, listened to the sniffling sounds coming from beyond the room.

One side of his chest ached.

But it couldn’t be helped. This was for the best.

If she stayed by his side, Rene would continue to be in danger.

Rather than that happening, it was better to distance himself.

To avoid meeting the same end as ‘that woman’, he had to stay away from Rene.

Kaisis clenched his fist tightly and took a step forward.

* * *

After that, Kaisis was nowhere to be seen.

There were still about four days left until our promised month, and his belongings in Kaisis’s room were still there, so he hadn’t left.

Then that meant Kaisis was avoiding me.

But why on earth?

Did I really do something wrong after all….

I felt intimidated and searched around for Kaisis, but he was hardly anywhere to be found.

Just as I was thinking I should give up, I headed to the garden where Kaisis and I often took walks together as a last attempt.

Whether it was unfortunate or fortunate, Kaisis was there. He looked in my direction as if he had heard me approaching.

But that was only for a moment.

Soon he coldly turned his head away again and took a step as if to leave.

I urgently chased after Kaisis.

“Kaisis.”

When I carefully grabbed his sleeve, Kaisis looked down at me. His eyes were still as cold as frost.

But I didn’t let go of Kaisis.

I couldn’t let him go like this.

“Um….”

Now that I had caught him, I couldn’t think of what to say.

As I hesitated and fumbled for words, Kaisis tried to turn away again.

I desperately blurted out the topic that came to mind.

“The ship party!”

Kaisis looked back at me.

“Could you please escort me just until the ship party?”

Then Kaisis quietly looked down at me and soon said coldly.

“Please take a different escort instead of me.”

“No, I don’t want to.”

I urgently shook my head.

“There’s no escort knight I can trust as much as Kaisis. Besides, there are rumors that I have special powers. There might be people targeting me.”

In my desperation, I hurriedly poured out my words.

Then Kaisis seemed to contemplate for a moment before letting out a sigh.

“Then only until the ship party.”

“Understood.”

I quickly nodded my head.

I didn’t know what the reason was for Kaisis’s change, but I planned to find out the reason before the ship party took place.
