Chapter 58

Regardless, Louis was focused on following the steps.

Whenever even slightly complex steps came up, Louis would inevitably step on the Crown Prince’s feet.

It didn’t seem intentional. He really appeared to be bad at dancing.

But the Crown Prince, perhaps to maintain his dignity, was smiling while barely managing to keep his trembling lips upturned.

At this rate, he might break a bone.

Watching this scene, I soon turned to look at Kaisis.

Kaisis’s expression was still as cold as frost.

I carefully took hold of Kaisis’s hand.

Then Kaisis looked back at me.

“Let’s go dance too.”

When I pulled his hand, Kaisis resisted as if he didn’t want to follow.

“Why should we…?”

I approached Kaisis and quietly whispered in his ear.

“You’re wearing a mask for once. With this mask on, no one will know whether you’re an evil dragon or a guard knight. In this place, you’re just yourself.”

At my words, Kaisis’s eyes wavered.

“And since it’s the last time anyway, how about enjoying yourself just for today?”

At my words, Kaisis’s expression became strange.

Then, after seeming to contemplate for a moment, he soon took my hand and stepped forward.

We began dancing next to the Crown Prince and Louis.

I could feel warm warmth from Kaisis’s hand holding mine. I carefully followed the steps.

I could feel Kaisis’s hand holding my waist trembling slightly.

How long had we been dancing like that?

A somewhat difficult section came up.

As I concentrated on the steps, I almost collided with Louis who had misstepped.

I turned my body in surprise, but my steps got tangled in that moment and my body swayed.

I’m falling!

I squeezed my eyes shut, when suddenly warm breath touched my lips.

When I opened my eyes, Kaisis was right in front of me.

As I blinked in confusion, Kaisis quickly grabbed my waist and lifted me up.

Then he spun me around once and set me down.

I looked at Kaisis with wide eyes.

“Th-thank you.”

As I awkwardly rolled my eyes, Kaisis quickly averted his gaze.

Then he bowed to me and left, pushing through the crowd.

I hurriedly chased after Kaisis.

Kaisis was standing like a shadow in the corner.

I stood beside Kaisis and watched his mood.

Kaisis seemed both angry and sad somehow.

As I was just watching Kaisis’s mood like that, the Crown Prince’s groaning sound was heard again.

Louis must have stepped on the Crown Prince’s feet again.

By now, he should let him go.

Louis seemed to want to stop dancing, but even after dancing for so long, the Crown Prince showed no signs of letting Louis go.

Even while getting his feet stepped on like that.

After some time passed, Louis said something to the Crown Prince and the dancing stopped.

Louis soon pushed through the crowd and approached us.

“I asked about the necklace, and he said he got it from some information guild. Pione or something. Apparently someone gave it to the Crown Prince saying it was the necklace I was looking for.”

Louis sighed, downed some water in one shot, then went back to dance with the Crown Prince again.

Kaisis and I exchanged glances.

Because Pione was the information guild we had visited.

* * *

I walked the deck with Kaisis to clear my head.

As we approached the bow, a very beautiful scene unfolded with the night sky’s stars reflecting on the black sea.

After quietly gazing at the night sea, I soon turned to look at Kaisis.

Kaisis’s gaze was distant from me.

“What exactly is the identity of that necklace?”

Even at my question, Kaisis remained silent. But I continued speaking without minding.

“If the necklace is a suspicious object, and the head of Pione gave it, we need to investigate Pione’s leader.”

Kaisis didn’t know, but having read the original work, I knew that Pione’s leader was Iban.

Moreover, Kaisis had said he felt the aura of black magic from Iban.

But the person who gave the suspicious necklace that caused a commotion whenever Beatrice wore it was Iban…

Then what was Iban’s identity?

Could he be part of a group that follows black magic, or could he be a black mage himself?

But without concrete evidence, all of this was merely speculation.

As I was pondering with a groan, Kaisis quietly spoke.

“First, we need to find out whether that necklace is a suspicious object or just a regular necklace.”

That was also a valid point.

While it was suspicious that Beatrice became violent whenever she wore the necklace, we couldn’t completely rule out the possibility that it was just an ordinary necklace.

I pondered and then leaned against the railing to look up at the night sky.

Countless stars were shining.

In South Korea, it was hard to see so many stars like this.

In the past, I used to believe that wishes made to the stars would come true.

Though it’s a story I no longer believe.

As I quietly looked up at the stars, I soon turned my head to look at Kaisis.

Kaisis was standing far from the railing.

“Kai.”

When I called, Kaisis’s gaze faintly turned toward me.

“Do you really want to return to the North?”

I asked carefully only after hesitating for a long time.

* * *

Hesitation could be heard in Rene’s voice. She was probably being careful about asking.

Kaisis almost answered ‘no.’ His words about returning to the North weren’t sincere.

But for now, he couldn’t reveal his true feelings.

In the end, Kaisis spoke another lie.

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Why?”

Rene asked with a pained expression. Did she know she was making such an expression?

Seeing Rene’s upset expression, one side of Kaisis’s chest began to ache.

But Kaisis naturally spoke another lie this time too.

“Because there’s no need to stay here any longer.”

Everything was to protect Rene.

Finding the black mage and finding a way to break the imprint – he planned to think about those after distancing himself from Rene first.

Then, Duke Wischurs appeared from somewhere.

“Lady Sauver.”

“Your Grace.”

The Duke naturally stood beside Rene, then looked at Kaisis and spoke.

“I have something to discuss with Lady Sauver, so could you excuse us for a moment?”

“Understood.”

Kaisis watched the two from a distance.

Dragons had better hearing than humans, so with a little concentration, he could hear what the two were talking about.

Kaisis concentrated his mind and eavesdropped on the two people’s conversation.

“How was the arm wrestling? I defeated Lady Lockwood.”

“Yes, well. It was a splendid match.”

Rene’s reaction was lukewarm.

Nevertheless, Kaisis felt a pitch-black emotion blooming from deep within his heart.

It was jealousy.

But the current Kaisis could do nothing. Nothing but stand there feeling his own dark emotions.

If he left, Rene might end up with the Duke. Duke Wischurs was a good man, after all.

Perhaps it would be better for Rene to be with the Duke, who could protect her more reliably, rather than being with a dangerous existence like himself.

“I was planning to tell you after giving it a bit more time, but seeing Lea Sauver, I can’t hold back any longer.”

“What do you mean?”

“Do you know why I held this ship party today?”

“Well…”

“Whenever I see Lea Sauver, my heart keeps racing.”

What?

In an instant, Rene’s face was stained with bewilderment.

Regardless, the Duke looked down at Rene and smiled gently.

“Last time at the hunting competition, Lea Sauver saved many people. Without caring about her own injuries.”

The Duke carefully took hold of Rene’s hand and then placed it on his chest.

Rene’s flustered eyes blinked rapidly.

“It must have been from that moment. Ever since that day, whenever I see Lea Sauver, my heart beats violently. As if I’ve fallen in love.”
