At my words, Klaus looked at me with an expression as if he had been hit.
And then there is a moment of silence –
“hahahahahahahaha!”
I started laughing loudly.
No, why did you do that when I told you that stalking is a crime?
After a moment of confusion, I realized that this was not Korea but another world.
And in other worlds… … The moral code might be a little different.
“There was a law like that in the old world. Don’t laugh like that.”
“No, yes. That’s right. It’s a crime to keep chasing someone against their will. Yes, my lady, you’re right.”
“What? So you said you were going to teach me how to commit a crime?”
“Oh, well. How did you end up saying that? Yes, I’d like to teach you a lesson about crime.”
What’s so funny?
I glared at Klaus, who was still holding his stomach and whimpering and suppressing laughter.
I couldn’t figure out what was so funny.
He just called a crime a crime, but isn’t this man truly morally paralyzed?
I slowly took a step back. But soon Klaus grabbed my wrist.
“Why don’t you listen to what everyone says until the end?”
“In this world, isn’t it considered a crime to just grab your wrist like this?”
“In the world where the young lady was, what law, article, and article includes grabbing one’s wrist?”
“……Assault?”
I fluttered my mouth as I could and looked at the wrist that Klaus was holding.
Perhaps out of consideration for me, Klaus did not hold my wrist tightly.
I just drew a circle with my thumb and middle finger touching, and I didn’t feel any direct tenderness on my wrist.
But that doesn’t mean you should just grab someone’s wrist.
“Let’s change the expression. Lady, I heard you’re following in Rudeat’s footsteps these days.”
“Yes? Me? No, that’s true.”
If you think about it, you followed in Rudeat’s footsteps.
I was worried that this guy might have a crush on me!
“But I thought I had covered that enough, so I decided to stop.”
“Why did you come all the way here?”
“Hmm… I guess this is the law of inertia.”
The mouth that was fluttering freely seemed to have found its second self.
Just when even I was a little dazed by the words coming out of my mouth, Klaus laughed again.
“Young lady, change your mind. So far, you’ve only seen Rudeat at the training ground. Right?”
“Yes.”
“People’s attitudes change greatly depending on the time and place. Rudyard’s appearance at the training ground does not represent all of his appearance, does it?”
“That’s true too.”
“But the young lady tried to make her judgment by only looking at Rudyatt at the training ground. I won’t ask why she observed it, but it was because she was disappointed.”
After listening to it, it seems to be true.
okay. So far, I’ve only seen Rudiot training with Lariette.
So, I concluded that Rudeat and Lariette would do well in the future based solely on the fact that Rudeat had vague memories of before returning to Lariette.
But as Klaus pointed out, you don’t know what Rudyard will do in a place where Lariat isn’t around!
“I think it’s a valid point.”
“yes?”
Klaus grinned at my words. Subtle red eyes sparkled.
He gently pulled my wrist.
It probably means follow me.
But it seems suspicious!
“But why do you want me to watch over His Highness Rudyard?”
why? why?
What has your Majesty, Prince Klaus Ertikev, got to do with my worrying that Rudyard may have feelings for me?
“I need to have a serious talk with the young lady.”
“What does this have to do with that….”
I couldn’t finish speaking.
This was because Klaus’ expression seemed somewhat solemn, unlike usual.
“If my guess is correct, young lady, you made a wish, right?”
“What do you suddenly wish for?”
“I don’t know exactly, but I guess it’s a wish to be loved by everyone.”
… … uh?
“How did you know that?”
It’s such an accurate guess that it’s embarrassing.
Instead of answering what I said, Klaus leisurely asked back.
“Then how did the Lady’s wish come true?”
“That’s right….”
Can I bring up White’s story here?
Klaus said he would report it as groundless even if I had a connection with the devil, but I’m not sure if I can believe him.
“You look like you’re worried about something.”
“Well, that’s not it….”
“I’m not going to ask any questions, so there’s nothing to be so nervous about.”
hey! I’m not nervous yet! There was nothing but sweat on my hands!
Of course, I am a petty citizen who is weak and weak in power, so I did not say such things.
Klaus tapped my shoulder.
“I have a guess.”
“G-J, I guess, you’re leaving? W-what?”
no! Me, don’t be nervous!
If you stutter like this, it makes the person who is really cheating seem like their feet are numb!
Klaus turned his red eyes towards me and smiled.
“The part about how the lady’s wish came true.”
“So, so, so? Are you going to put me in?”
“no?”
One step at a time, Klaus approached me. His heart felt like it was going to jump out of his body.
no! I passed out here and woke up again to an unfamiliar ceiling… … ‘It can’t start like this!
Klaus smiled at me as I bit my tongue and desperately tried to come to my senses.
“Young lady.”
“yes yes.”
“Do you think that the young lady’s wish came true thanks to the help of the demons?”
“Oh, ah, no!”
It’s ruined. It just beeped.
My last cry was in vain.
But Klaus, why do you have such a calm face?
“I think the young lady is mistaken.”
“…Me?”
“Yes. The Lady’s wish is granted through another power.”
“W-what kind of power is it?”
Klaus, if you weren’t a prince, you could be a medicine seller.
I shed it without even realizing it.
A firm finger lightly pushed my forehead as I leaned towards Klaus, as if I was falling into it.
“Before I tell you that, I’d like to check first whether the young lady is an ally.”
“yes?”
“So, let’s follow quietly and see what Rudyard is doing together.”
“Yeh?”
Are you going to make people excited like this and not tell them the answer?
I was shocked and glared at Klaus, who grinned.
“Don’t worry. I’ll see this resolved and tell you my guess.”
… … Really, how is it going?
There was a brief commotion, but in the end I followed Klaus and chased after Rudyard.
I was suspicious of whether Rudyard had another side, and Klaus said he would tell me the next story only if I faithfully did as he was told.
I feel like I’m being held hostage for next week’s preview.
As if Klaus wasn’t lying when he said he would teach me how to stalk, he used various holes and huge pillars to brilliantly chase Rudeat’s fast movements.
If there’s a small problem, Klaus is the only one who hides well, and I was caught by Rudyard several times because I wasn’t able to hide quickly enough.
I feel like Rudeat’s gaze on me has become harsh… … .
‘Haha, it must be a feeling.’
Anyway, as a result, I was able to find out more about Rudyard.
“Your Majesty Rudeat seems to really like books.”
“It’s a strange thing. Originally, he was only interested in swords.”
After finishing training, Rudeat headed to the library with a look of deep concern.
After reading a few books, I left the library with a worried look on my face.
“Let’s see. 〈History of Witches〉, 〈What is Brainwashing〉, 〈The Devil, That Dangerous Temptation〉… Are you obsessed with the devil these days?”
I quickly scanned the books Rudeat had read and brought them out again.
Most of them were related to demons or brainwashing.
“Originally, it wasn’t there. But seeing as the young lady suddenly made a strong statement that she wanted to check if she had made a contract with the devil, it seems like she’s been obsessed with it these days.”
“hmm.”
Certainly, according to Lariette, this world was once destroyed in a large-scale war at the hands of demons.
Rudiot also seems to have some memories of his past life with Lariette, so he may be paying attention to the devil in the aftermath of those memories.
‘Or hasn’t Rudeat regressed too?’
Klaus in front of us has regressed, and Lariat has also regressed, so wouldn’t it be strange if at least one more Rudyard regressed?
“Could it be that His Highness Rudeat has also returned? Like His Highness.”
“Do you have memories of the past like me? Probably not.”
“How can you be sure? Maybe he’s just not talking.”
“I’ve already asked you a few times. You don’t know?”
Klaus shrugged his shoulders.
And I picked up one of the books I brought out.
It was a thick hardcover book titled “What is Brainwashing?”
His red eyes skimmed the book and muttered quietly.
“But why are you looking at a book like this?”
Well, do you guys understand?
Unless Rudiott was trying to brainwash Lariette and force her to become his, it was none of my business what books he was reading.
On the third day of following Klaus and stalking Rudyard, I received a visit that gave me a feeling of déjà vu.
“Lady Elena Seves, I have something to tell you.”
Rudyard, whose face was bright red and his expression stiff, called me with a very awkward expression.
And this time, I felt like I knew.
“I am.”
“Yes. He doesn’t like me. No matter how much I court him, he won’t accept me. He’s probably never seen me as a woman in the first place. If he gave me even the slightest hint, it was just out of courtesy to the other person, and I can fall in love with him however I want. “I didn’t give it to you to embrace it. Yes, I understand. I also don’t like His Highness Rudyard, so you can relax!”
Having been kicked so many times since coming to this world, I decided to kick myself before any misunderstandings arise.
