Chapter 132
Editor : Aru
‘How did he know I would come out and visit this store?’
Don’t tell me that he has contacted every decent store on this street.
……I hope not. I imagined it, but it’s really creepy.
I rubbed the goosebumps under my sleeves. Suddenly, the stalker from a previous life came to mind.
I overlapped him with Inner Seacomert. Their faces are so different, but what they do might be similar.
No matter how handsome he is, if he’s a stalker then it’s a downgrade. If he’s not a stalker then what he’s doing right now is a downgrade, so if he’s really a stalker, then it’s more more more and more downgrading.
I didn’t want to treat him like a human being. Oh, that’s good. The feelings of guilt and regret that came from having rejected the other person’s heart were blown away and completely gone.
If you’re aiming for it and acting like this, and become truly amazingly considerate…….. is such bullshit.
I hardened my uncontrolled expression. I really don’t care anymore.
“No, I’d rather change the question. Why are you here?”
“If I say it’s really a coincidence, you won’t even believe it.”
“If the purpose of appearing here is to arouse my anger, keep insisting it that way then.”
Take care of it then. I folded my arms in a twist.
Inner Seacomert’s innocent eyes were in trouble.
Just a few days ago, he looked just like a puppy in the rain. But now, as soon as I saw it, I was irritated.
Are you kidding me? What did you do well? How could you pretend to be pitiful?
I’m going to make you feel really pitiful for yourself.
I frowned and Inner Seacomert hesitated. He looked at me and said.
“Can’t you give me one more chance?”
“No.”
“Do you hate me?”
“Yes.”
It’s not funny to ask if someone hates you after doing something that your opponent would obviously hate.
But Inner Seacomert didn’t seem to think so. He showed signs of embarrassment when I said yes in a single stroke.
What are you embarrassed about? I’m speechless. Amazingly, you asked such a question without expecting my answer.
At first glance, it seemed to me that Inner Seacomert had lived his life so far.
Looks like his beauty worked pretty well. To the point where the other person never thought that someone would hate this kind of thing.
I understand, but I don’t want to understand. Because I hate it.
I hate it! Extreme disgust! A stalker, who misunderstands that it is pure to push his mind unilaterally to an opponent that doesn’t like him should be burned.
Ash is the only one who can stalk me! Of course, it’s not stalking me in the terms of Ash!
I jumped up. It’s a waste of time.
As I passed Inner Seacomert to get out of there, his voice pierced my ear to ear.
“Do you know why I hurt my right wrist?”
Why should I know? I didn’t stop walking.
“The day after I bumped into you on the street, a mysterious man who covered his face attacked me in the middle of the night.”
I don’t know who the man is, but he did a good job. He should get a citation. By the way, the VIP room in this store is so spacious that it’s a blemish. Why is the door so far?
“But I think I saw the man in the Dukedom a while ago.”
My feet came to a standstill.
I turned my head slowly.
“You said the man was covering his face.”
“I have good night vision. I have a pretty good memory.”
“Just get to the point.”
“They had the same body type. Definitely. I have a very good eye for this. Although I only say it by myself.”
“…….”
“Why did he break my right hand? I wonder if it’s because I held Princess’s wrist at the time?”
Inner Seacomert folded his eyes and laughed.
He stood up from his seat and said, looking down at me.
“You must be happy. With such a loyal knight to the lady he serves.”
I thought about the probability that Inner Seacomert’s words would be false.
But soon I realized it meant nothing.
“Proof?”
“Um……my statement?”
Inner Seacomert then added the words.
“Or maybe there’s a witness or maybe not.”
“Maybe or may not be witnesses according to my actions?”
“That’s it. It’s good to talk to you, Princess.”
Inner Secomert is threatening to turn one of my family knights into aristocratic assaulters if I don’t listen to him now.
He won’t need great evidence. Sadly, the Marquis of Seacomert is a high-ranking family.
If only his claim and the circumstances in which he was actually injured.
I stared at Inner Seacomert and picked his right wrist.
“Ugh!”
For a moment he staggered, screaming with his teeth. Well, I guess he’s not lying about getting hurt.
“What is this about?”
“You’re noisy.”
I had a headache. I put up with the urge to plough through my hair.
Inner Seacomert’s threats are not a threat to my security. That’s the Marquis’ family, but we’re the Duke’s.
He can’t hold me any responsibility. Instead, the situation will end with the knight handed over as the criminal.
That was the problem. What will happen to the knight if I hand him over? If he is from a reliable family, maybe nothing will happen, but if he is a commoner, he will be in trouble.
In the worst-case scenario, he could have died. In other words, Inner Seacomert is threatening me with the life of one of my family knights.
‘There’s trash in there.’
It is also abominable that he is threatening such a thing in the absence of Ash. If Ash hadn’t been away, would he have even thought about trying this?
I can bet Inner Seacomert will be left with his left wrist remaining.
Ugh. Lime Extract was cute compared to this kid. Where the hell does these trash keep crawling out?
“Let me tell you, Princess, what I’m asking for is not that great.”
Inner Seacomert said in a fine voice, perhaps the pain has gone away. I should’ve hit him harder. Shall I hit one more time now?
“What do you want?”
“You finally ask me a question. It’s really trivial. There’s a play that will be held tomorrow at the temple I sponsor, so I’d like you to watch it with me. Just two of us, of course.”
“How great the play is it that it would save someone’s life?”
“You won’t be disappointed.”
Inner Seacomert smiled again, folding his eyes.
That’s what I’m saying. I thought, looking at his face that seemed to me to be unlucky.
Yeah, that’s good. This is what you claimed.
I decided to put Inner Seacomert on the kill list.
***
Inside the dark temple. An old man wearing a robe long and generous enough to be dragged to the floor opened his mouth.
“Did you get things right?”
A harsh voice came out, reflecting all the years.
Then, the young man of good looks, kneeling in front of the old man, answered politely.
“Yes. I’ve decided to bring her here tomorrow as planned.”
“Okay.”
The old man looked down at the young man with a satisfied look.
“You did a great job. Inner.”
Brilliant blond hair, even in the dark light. Blue eyes reminiscent of the sea.
The young man was Inner Seacomert. He bowed his head.
“It is an honour.”
“Girls are easy, too. They can’t get themselves together easily when they see your good looks.”
“…….”
Inner Seacomert remained silent.
He didn’t bother to talk. His appearance didn’t work on his opponent, so he ended up using intimidation.
“Ck.”
He kicked his tongue. His pride was hurt.
To be honest, at first, he thought it would be easy as the old man said.
‘I thought it was easy when I got Lime Extract to work.’
The goal of Inner Seacomert is Princess Lydia Widgreen.
It was his purpose and mission to lure her, who was recently found to be the not the real daughter of the former Duchess and bring her to the place he wanted.
He thought briefly. The reason for the confidence was in Inner Seacomert himself. He was a beautiful man. And his background was fine. Speaking of a Marquis of Seacomert, he usually knows where to go.
Although he couldn’t reach the Duke of Widgreen, Princess Lydia was an adopted child who didn’t share any blood anyway.
The Marquis of Seacomert is in a situation where you have to bow down on his face. At least he thought so.
Inner Seacomert was easy going. He used a Lime Extract to approach Princess Lydia.
He was all in the background, whether it was to send the invitation directly to the princess or to be rude in the process.
Inner Seacomert planned to get a favourable first impression by taking Lime Extract to the princess’s front, knelt, and promised compensation instead.
But from there, the plan went a little wrong.
Lime Extract, who announced that he had fulfilled the order of joy, had somehow burst his lips, but suddenly disappeared after a while.
Contact was cut off, and no one knew where he was.
Thanks to this, ‘taking Lime Extract and knelt’ in his plan became an impossible start.
It was a little disappointing, but he couldn’t help it. Still, the plan itself was not blown away.
Inner Seacomert made a relationship with Princess Lydia under the guise of the disrespect committed by Lime Extract anyway.
It was really a coincidence that they met on the street of the capital.
Inner Seacomert followed Lydia secretly that day.
Then he snorted at her as she headed for the jewellery store.
He had a clear idea inside. That’s right. Women, all they have in their heads is jewellery, dresses, and handsome men.
He had no hesitation in defining a woman like that.
Anyway, it was probably a reasonable prejudice that he had met such women so far, but he could not think that there were only such women around him because his level was that low.
Anyway, Inner Seacomert foresaw an easy success.
Not only did he have the resources to give her all the jewels she wanted, but he also had the beautiful appearance of reason.
Just a few gifts and a couple of good intentions.
It’s easy.
He thought so, but……..
