Chapter 60

* * *

Returning to my room, I lay down on the bed to sleep. But no matter how long I lay there, sleep wouldn’t come.

It was because I felt unsettled hearing that both Kaisis and Louis were leaving.

Moreover, seeing how it stung every time I touched Louis, it seemed like the dark magic affecting him was growing stronger.

With my troubled mind, I tossed and turned for a while before finally going out to the deck to clear my head.

Standing in front of the railing and feeling the cold sea breeze, my throbbing headache seemed to ease a little.

As I was sighing and enjoying the wind, someone approached with the clicking sound of heels.

“Lea Sauver.”

When I turned my head, the First Princess stood there, dressed up glamorously.

Did she dress up like that to impress Duke Wischurs?

What tremendous love that was.

“I greet Your Highness the First Princess.”

When I lifted my skirt and curtsied, the First Princess smiled brightly.

“It’s late. What are you doing here alone?”

“I was getting some sea air.”

“You look like you have many worries on your face. Are you alright?”

“I’m fine. Thank you for your concern.”

Whatever scheme the First Princess was hiding, it felt awkward that she was being kind to me.

When I bowed my head, the First Princess stopped smiling brightly and handed me two wine glasses that her attendant was holding.

“Take this.”

“Ah, I…”

My head hurt and I didn’t want to drink alcohol.

Besides, it seemed like the First Princess might have put something in the wine.

But the First Princess stared at me intently while pushing the wine glass toward me.

“Are you trying to refuse my goodwill?”

Her insistence made it even more suspicious.

I spoke while pretending to be as apologetic as possible.

“I’m truly sorry, but I can’t handle alcohol well…”

“I see. It wouldn’t be proper to insist when you say you can’t drink.”

The First Princess withdrew the wine glass and handed it back to her attendant.

Seeing her give up so readily, I was starting to think maybe she really just wanted to share wine together.

Splash—!

Cold liquid struck my cheek like a slap.

The attendant carrying the wine glass had stumbled and spilled wine on my face.

“Lea Sauver, are you alright?”

The First Princess looked at me in surprise.

The attendant who spilled wine on me turned pale and knelt before me.

“I’m truly sorry, my lady!”

I could feel the sticky liquid flowing down my jawline.

I was wiping my face with my hands as an emergency measure.

“Lea Sauver, use this.”

The First Princess took out a handkerchief and handed it to me.

“Thank you, Your Highness the First Princess.”

I wiped my wine-soaked face with the First Princess’s handkerchief.

The handkerchief had a sharp, pleasant fragrance.

Did she spray perfume on the handkerchief?

“Your Highness, I’ll wash the handkerchief clean and… Huh…?”

Suddenly, my head spun.

Huh? Why is this happening?

As soon as I smelled the handkerchief’s fragrance, my vision spun and I couldn’t put strength in my arms and legs.

The handkerchief fell from my hand and fluttered in the wind. I quickly grabbed the railing.

“Your, Your Highness. Please help me…”

However, the First Princess just watched me quietly. Her expression seemed almost indifferent.

The kindly smiling First Princess from earlier was nowhere to be found.

As I gasped while holding the railing, the First Princess approached and whispered in my ear.

“You should know your place.”

I frantically looked around.

But since it was late at night when everyone had gone to bed, there was no one around.

As I gasped for breath, the First Princess smiled brightly.

“Farewell, Lea Sauver.”

At that moment, the attendant who had been kneeling suddenly stood up as if nothing had happened and approached me.

Then he instantly lifted my body and threw me over the railing.

Splash—!

The inside of the sea was dark and cold. The ice-cold seawater seemed to cut through my skin.

I desperately tried to rise to the surface.

But perhaps because I couldn’t put strength in my arms and legs, I couldn’t rise to the surface at all.

I began to slowly sink to the bottom of the sea.

What? Am I going to die like this?

It was absurd.

I had been happy thinking I wouldn’t die since I just needed to follow the IF side story, not the main story.

To think I’d die by drowning in the sea because of a woman crazed with jealousy over one meeting with the Duke.

Damn First Princess.

I thought she put drugs in the wine, but she had applied chemicals to the handkerchief?

I had never imagined such an end.

If I die, wouldn’t that be different from the IF side story?!

Isn’t there some kind of special privilege where the system window saves me at times like this?

As I desperately called for the system window, it miraculously appeared with a pop.

[Cannot intervene in a character’s life or death.]

Even my small hope was shattered to pieces.

“Save… me…”

My breath was gradually reaching its limit.

The sparkling surface was rapidly moving away.

Kaisis or Louis. Anyone is fine, so please save me.

As soon as this thought crossed my mind, I found myself ridiculous.

Louis is someone who will eventually return to South Korea, and Kaisis will leave for the north tomorrow.

They’re all people who will leave my side anyway, yet the fact that those two were the only ones I could think of in this moment was newly heartbreaking.

It was then, as I was falling into despair.

Splash—!

With that sound, the surface churned greatly and I could see someone approaching this way.

The person who swam quickly toward me grabbed my hand.

The water was so dark that I couldn’t make out their face clearly.

That person grabbed my arm and began swimming upward.

Just before running out of breath, we finally reached the surface.

“Gasp…!”

As I panted and breathed heavily, the other person urgently grabbed my cheek.

“Master, are you alright?”

This voice?

Light flowing from the ship illuminated the other person’s face.

“Ka, Kai…”

The person who pulled me out of the water was none other than Kaisis.

“How did you get here….”

“Let’s talk about that later, first let’s get you up on the ship.”

Kaisis grabbed my hand.

“Someone fell in!”

“Hurry, bring the rope ladder!”

The shouts of the crew from above the ship rang in my ears.

Awakened one by one by the sudden commotion, quite a few people had gathered around the railings.

The servants hurriedly lowered a rope ladder.

Kaisis sent me up first, then climbed up after me.

I collapsed on the deck, gasping for breath.

“Are you alright?”

“Yes, I’m fine….”

I grabbed Kaisis’s arm while breathing heavily.

Kaisis firmly embraced me as I leaned against him, collapsing.

My whole body trembled and shivered.

I clung to Kaisis’s embrace as if hanging onto him.

“Call a doctor immediately.”

Kaisis said, looking back at a servant.

The servant rushed off to call the doctor stationed on the ship, while another servant brought a blanket and handed it to me.

Kaisis wrapped the blanket around me, then urgently lifted me up and stood.

“Just bear with it a little. I’ll take you to your room.”

Kaisis headed straight for the room assigned to me.

The First Princess was among the murmuring crowd, looking this way.

She had an expression as if she was truly shocked.

Look at that disgusting expression, when she’s the one who pushed me in!

I wanted to accuse her right away, but since there was no evidence that the First Princess had put drugs on the handkerchief, I held back for now.

Besides, the person who directly pushed me into the sea was a servant.

I gritted my teeth and buried my head in Kaisis’s embrace.

It was so cold.

Kaisis kicked the door open and entered, then carefully set me down on the sofa.

“Master, you need to take off your clothes. If you keep wearing wet clothes, your body temperature will only drop further.”

“I… I think I inhaled some strange drug, so I have no strength in my body….”

At my words, Kaisis frowned in surprise, then immediately cursed “Damn it” and ran his hands through his hair.

Kaisis handed his coat to a maid waiting outside and left the room.

The maid removed my wet dress and covered me with Kaisis’s coat.

Kaisis’s coat was so much larger than my body that I felt almost buried in it.

Smelling Kaisis’s scent made me feel relieved without realizing it.

Had we been too close together for that month?

Just Kaisis’s scent alone makes my heart feel this at ease, what should I do from now on.
