41.

 

Siena’s eyes narrowed.

 

“…Huh?”

 

Why is that bastard coming this way?

 

‘Is he trying to mediate the situation directly?’

 

She had that suspicion, but only briefly.

 

The Castillian from 【Imperial Invasion】 was indifferent to everything except the female lead.

 

‘He’s the type who doesn’t give a damn whether people fight right next to him or not.’

 

Soon Castillian stopped walking.

 

He looked down at Siena with an expressionless face.

 

She slowly raised her head while holding her breath.

 

‘What, what is this…?’

 

That’s when it happened.

 

Castillian suddenly knelt down on one knee.

 

As their eye levels became similar, his quiet red eyes became clearly visible.

 

‘No way, crazy.’

 

That bastard knelt down…?

 

‘And to an NPC like me, just a random passerby?’

 

It was so shocking that she could barely breathe.

 

The nobles surrounding them, and even Pitt, looked surprised.

 

“The, The Prince is….”

 

Why on earth?

 

‘He’s not someone who would do such a thing…?’

 

His already pale complexion turned even whiter.

 

In the midst of this, only Chase, who knew the truth, maintained a relaxed expression.

 

“…Hah! Hup!”

 

Edel was no different from an excited happy cat.

 

Castillian carefully examined Siena’s foot that was visible beneath her dress.

 

‘She recklessly jumped into the crowd of women… and ended up getting hurt.’

 

Her tender skin was red and inflamed.

 

Seeing that made his nerves stand on edge.

 

Castillian had been watching Siena for over a month.

 

So he knew she was naturally someone who worked very hard.

 

‘It’s true that I like her because she’s kind and sincere.’

 

However, Siena’s characteristic personality was both an advantage and a disadvantage.

 

Due to her strong sense of responsibility, she would put herself last and immerse herself in work.

 

Indeed, she often complained of wrist pain due to her workload, and frequently had nosebleeds from lack of sleep.

 

‘The problem is that she hides everything from the staff.’

 

It was a truth that only Castillian knew.

 

“….”

 

Her foot gradually swelled red.

 

Castillian’s expression became even more crumpled.

 

Since his face was hidden by a mask, no one knew he was angry.

 

Siena was the same.

 

She was still bewildered.

 

‘No, no.’

 

It’s already ridiculous that this bastard knelt in front of me.

 

‘Why… is he just staying still.’

 

She had no idea why this Prince, whom she was meeting for the first time, was acting like this in front of her.

 

‘Say something, you bastard.’

 

But she couldn’t dare speak to The Prince first, so she just rolled her eyes around.

 

Castillian, who had maintained silence for a long time, let out a small sigh.

 

“…Hah.”

 

Then he extended his arms.

 

Soon Siena’s body was lifted into the air, and her shoulder bumped against his solid chest.

 

‘Huh…?’

 

Siena belatedly realized that Castillian had picked her up.

 

‘Cra, crazy!’

 

To be princess-carried by that bastard.

 

‘To be embraced by that magnificent chest…!’

 

She could feel the gazes of all the nobles focused on her.

 

Realizing this, her cheeks instantly burned.

 

Siena hung her head low and screamed internally.

 

‘Aaaah! Aaaaah!’

 

It was an extremely painful situation for an introvert.

 

Castillian carried her across the ballroom.

 

Then he passed by Johan and Violet.

 

His red eyes met Johan’s.

 

“…?”

 

Johan slightly raised his eyebrows.

 

‘Those eyes….’

 

I feel like I’ve seen them somewhere before.

 

Although it was The Prince he was meeting for the first time today, he somehow felt a strange sense of déjà vu.

 

Suddenly he remembered something from recently.

 

“The Marquis made no mistake.”

 

“….”

 

“I simply hope you will conduct yourself so that I do not commit any impropriety.”

 

Lian, who had suddenly warned him.

 

‘Why… do I see that man from the counseling center overlapping with The Prince.’

 

And wasn’t that man interested in Violet Bringer?

 

‘I was so certain back then.’

 

…Now that I think about it, maybe not.

 

Johan swallowed dryly.

 

The uneasiness continued until Castillian left the ballroom.

 

‘Aaaaaaah…!’

 

Siena, who was writhing in embarrassment, knew nothing.

 

* * *

 

An empty palace corridor.

 

In the quiet space, only the sound of footsteps had been echoing for a while now.

 

I was still… being carried by that, that bastard.

 

Honestly, I was completely out of it.

 

‘What on earth is happening….’

 

That bastard is carrying me around.

 

Even now, long after being kidnapped by The Prince, I couldn’t believe what had happened to me.

 

Moreover, it was extremely uncomfortable.

 

“….”

 

From leaving the ballroom until coming here, Castillian hadn’t said a single word.

 

Of course, I already knew this guy was a man of few words.

 

That’s true, but…, this was a rather serious level.

 

‘No, Your Highness.’

 

Did you sew your mouth shut?

 

‘You should at least give me a brief explanation of why you’re doing this to me…’

 

After pondering, I barely managed to open my mouth.

 

“…Um, excuse me…”

 

Castillian’s gaze, which had been looking straight ahead, suddenly dropped down to me.

 

Just like the description in 【The Prince’s Invasion】, they were ‘eyes that seemed to be stained with blood.’

 

‘Ugh.’

 

My mind immediately went blank.

 

Even though I wanted to ask ‘Where are you going?’ or ‘Do you perhaps know me?’, I absolutely couldn’t.

 

‘Too scary…!’

 

Earlier I had trembled wondering if those knights were organization members, but that was nothing compared to this.

 

‘That guy is a million times more threatening than those people.’

 

I trailed off and lowered my gaze.

 

“Ah…”

 

“…”

 

“…Never mind.”

 

That’s right.

 

Coward that I am, I was intimidated by ‘red eyes,’ the most eerie-looking eye color of all.

 

‘Damn it, I take back what I said about targeting that bastard Castillian after Johan.’

 

The novel’s description made it sound incredibly cool, but experiencing it in reality was nothing but terrifying.

 

‘And this is none other than that bastard Castillian.’

 

Since I have no idea why such a guy is doing this to me…

 

I quietly swallowed without letting Castillian notice.

 

But… there was one strange thing in all this.

 

‘I smell Lian’s scent on that bastard Castillian.’

 

Not faintly either, but very strongly.

 

This wasn’t my imagination.

 

‘Lian is always clinging to me, so I clearly remember that guy’s scent.’

 

Did the scent rub off because they’ve been together constantly?

 

‘Yet only The Prince came to the ball and Lian didn’t show up.’

 

How strange indeed.

 

That’s when it happened.

 

“We greet The Prince.”

 

Suddenly I heard unfamiliar women’s voices.

 

Only then did I raise my gaze.

 

Neatly dressed women were politely greeting Castillian.

 

‘Are they maids?’

 

The maids who straightened their posture soon fixed their gazes on me.

 

They looked somewhat surprised.

 

I awkwardly scratched my cheek.

 

‘That bastard Castillian bringing some ordinary woman… surprising, isn’t it?’

 

I feel the same way.

 

Though the male lead of 【The Prince’s Invasion】, the mastermind behind all this, didn’t seem to know much about it.

 

Castillian took me to some room.

 

It was a bedroom decorated entirely with gold and marble.

 

‘A guest room…?’

 

After setting me down on the bed, Castillian approached the maids at the doorway.

 

“Ah… I see.”

 

“Yes, understood. We will…”

 

They whispered about something, but I couldn’t hear well from my position.

 

Before long, the maids left the room and brought back some man.

 

Graying hair and a face full of wrinkles.

 

And a white doctor’s coat…

 

‘Don’t tell me he’s a physician?’

 

At the same time, the man bowed in greeting.

 

“Good day, Lady Willow. I am Hans Onor, the Imperial Palace’s physician.”

 

I also tried to get up to greet him.

 

But then the physician waved his hands dismissively.

 

“Please don’t get up. The Prince said that you were badly injured.”

 

I just blinked in bewilderment.

 

‘Castillian said…?’

 

I couldn’t understand it.

 

While it was true that I was injured, I wasn’t actually ‘badly’ injured.

 

‘I just scraped my skin when I fell.’

 

But to call the Imperial Palace physician for me…

 

‘I’m not even a child, is this really necessary?’

 

Not only had I been princess-carried by a Prince I didn’t know at all, but now I was being overprotected.

 

“Huh…”

 

I glanced sideways at Castillian.

 

‘That guy… why is he doing this to me?’

 

Is he really that bastard Castillian?
