Chapter 78

I hurriedly sat up.

Then, blood-red eyes that appeared between his eyelids were looking at me.

“Kaisis!”

When I lifted my head in surprise, Kaisis turned his eyes to follow me.

“Master.”

“Are you okay? Does it hurt? Should I call a doctor?”

As I poured out questions, Kaisis moved the hand I had been holding.

The movement of him gripping my hand tightly conveyed a hint of worry.

“Your eyes are red. Are you alright?”

“I’m fine.”

Rather, I was the one who should be asking if he was okay.

“What about you, Kaisis? Are you okay?”

When I cupped Kaisis’s cheek with a worried expression, Kaisis slowly nodded his head.

“I’m fine.”

Only then did I let out a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness….

“Did you cry?”

Kaisis struggled to reach out his hand and wiped around my eyes.

“Yes. I cried.”

“Why?”

“Because I was worried about Kaisis.”

“You were worried about me?”

“Of course.”

When I slightly frowned, Kaisis smiled faintly.

“I was worried about Master too.”

“About me? Why?”

“I wondered if you might not return from the Holy Kingdom. If we might never meet again.”

“But you were the one who left me first, Kaisis.”

At my words, Kaisis couldn’t give any answer.

“…Can you tell me now why you left?”

When I asked in a whisper, Kaisis carefully parted his lips.

“…If I stay by Master’s side, Master becomes dangerous. I’m an Evil Dragon who brings misfortune.”

“Is that because you think that way due to ‘That Woman’s’ death?”

Kaisis couldn’t answer and only bit his lips tightly.

I felt sorry for Kaisis and gently stroked his hair while speaking.

“I’m different. I won’t get hurt. Didn’t you see me purifying the Masu?”

When I spoke with a smile, Kaisis turned his head to look at me.

“I can confidently say I won’t cause the kind of situation Kaisis is worried about.”

I gently stroked Kaisis’s cheek.

“…So will you stay by my side?”

At my words, Kaisis seemed to contemplate for a moment, then honestly revealed his feelings.

“I’m scared.”

“Of what?”

“At first, it’s true that I became interested in Master because you resembled That Woman. But now I can only see Master. So if I lose Master, I don’t think I could live.”

I could feel the heart connected to Kaisis gently stirring.

I could instinctively sense it.

That Kaisis’s words were sincere.

As I quietly looked down at Kaisis, he added.

“And it seems like a Black Mage is targeting me. In such a situation, I can’t keep Master by my side.”

I thought Kaisis was planning to return to the North again.

Not being able to keep me by his side probably meant he would return to the North and stay alone.

As I became dejected and lowered my head.

“But while I was away, Master was kidnapped. While going to find Master, I thought. Wouldn’t it have been better to stay by Master’s side and protect you?”

I looked at Kaisis in surprise.

At that moment, Kaisis quietly pulled my cheek toward him.

Kaisis’s lips touched my forehead.

It was a soft and warm sensation.

“Let’s extend the contract. I’ll protect Master as your guard knight. And my top priority condition that I couldn’t mention last time is….”

Kaisis paused for a moment, then parted his lips.

“To be by Master’s side.”

My heart dropped with a thud.

When I first made a contract with Kaisis, I had worried whether he might kill me.

So I had made my safety the top priority condition.

Now Kaisis had made being by my side his top priority condition.

I felt somewhat embarrassed and looked around.

Then I carefully looked at Kaisis and asked.

“Then, are we becoming lovers now?”

The word ‘lovers’ made my heart tingle for no reason.

When I looked at Kaisis while hiding my racing heart, Kaisis shook his head.

“When Master becomes safe.”

When I become safe?

Wondering what he meant, I tilted my head, and Kaisis quietly explained.

“If they know Master is someone precious to me, the attacks aimed at me will also target Master. When the situation stabilizes and there are no more threats toward Master, then I’ll make Master mine. So please give me a little time.”

Kaisis’s words made sense.

Right now, countless dangers lurked before us. We couldn’t leisurely share love while facing such dangers.

I nodded in agreement with Kaisis’s words.

“Let’s defeat the Black Mage as quickly as possible, us.”

At my words, Kaisis nodded with determined eyes.

News that Rene had escaped from the Holy Kingdom reached the Imperial Palace.

With that news, the Imperial Elite Knight Order also returned to the Imperial Palace.

First Princess Elizabeth threw objects around in anger.

She had been relieved by the news that woman had been kidnapped to the Holy Kingdom. Since she was kidnapped to the Holy Kingdom, she wouldn’t be able to meet the Duke anymore.

But to return safely.

The First Princess could not forgive Rene Sauver who dared to covet what was hers.

She didn’t care if that woman was a Holy Mage or whatever. She didn’t care if she was going to become the Crown Princess.

It seemed her anger would only be appeased by eliminating her.

But how?

It was when Elizabeth was grumbling and randomly throwing and breaking whatever she could get her hands on.

One of the maids who had fled to avoid the chaos knocked on the door and entered.

“What!”

“Y-Your Highness. A guest has come to see you….”

A guest? In this situation?

Elizabeth snorted. Then she threw a vase she had grabbed at the maid.

“Kyaah-!”

The startled maid collapsed.

Elizabeth’s eyes gleamed fiercely as she muttered.

“Send them away.”

“Y-Yes, understood.”

It was when the maid was crawling to escape from the room.

“You cannot, Your Highness!”

Someone entered First Princess Elizabeth’s bedroom, ignoring the maids’ attempts to stop them.

“It’s been a long time, Your Highness the First Princess.”

Elizabeth, who had been looking at the maid sprawled on the floor groaning, raised her head.

The man before her eyes was Ivan Decartes.

“What brings Duke Decartes here?”

“I have something urgent to tell you, so I came here despite knowing it was rude.”

Elizabeth’s expression crumpled.

How could someone who knew it was rude be so brazen?

Ivan entered Elizabeth’s bedroom with a gentle smile on his lips.

Then he casually stepped on the broken vase fragments and approached Elizabeth.

“Don’t you want to get rid of Rene Sauver?”

In an instant, Elizabeth’s eyes, which had been distorted with displeasure, flashed.

“I have a clever plan.”

Ivan said with a smile.

Elizabeth dismissed the maids and led Ivan to a table placed in one corner of the room.

“So what is this clever plan? If it’s something trivial, you’ll have to be punished for entering my palace so rudely.”

“Of course.”

Ivan nodded and explained his plan.

Elizabeth, who had been listening quietly, soon showed a surprised expression.

“Then you are…”

“Yes, I am the guild master of Pione Information Guild.”

In an instant, Elizabeth’s eyes flashed.

Pione was the information guild with the best intelligence network in the Empire.

To think that the head of such an information guild was Duke Ivan Decartes.

“I will provide Your Highness the First Princess with the information you desire. So would Your Highness the First Princess also cooperate with me?”

If she could have Pione on her side, it would be perfect.

And it would be ideal for eliminating Rene Sauver too.

A chillingly beautiful smile bloomed on Elizabeth’s lips.

“Kaisis, will you hold my hand?”

After that day, Kaisis often treated me affectionately.

When I begged him to hold my hand, he would hold it.

“Kaisis, your ears are red.”

When I giggled and pointed at Kaisis’s ears, Kaisis quickly turned his head away.

Even though he would act like lovers and then draw the line as if coming to his senses, even that appearance was cute.

I was walking through the garden with Kaisis, laughing for a while, when Count suddenly appeared.

I was startled and moved away from Kaisis, but Count was already looking at me with narrowed eyes, having seen my affectionate moment with Kaisis.

“Rene, you…”

I was rolling my eyes anxiously, not knowing what Count would say, when Count asked in a puzzled voice.

“I was going to ask anyway, but what’s the relationship between you two? I thought you were dating Duke Wischurs, but when that guard knight got hurt, you cried so sadly. Are you two perhaps…”
