The Fiancee Who Betrayed Me Is Obsessed With Me

29 – Grumpy Princess (5)

He was truly a foolish person.

Although it was a beautiful necklace, it was unusual for a guard knight from a commoner to gift this necklace to herself, a princess.

Moreover, Beryl probably doesn’t know the rumors about herself.

Even though he knew that he could die at any time, Yuuna continued to worry about him crossing the line.

Also, why can’t he kill him?

“I think he should be in bed by now.”

Yuuna wandered around the garden and muttered to herself.

With the thought of returning to the kingdom, I was about to go out to the garden to take in the night view one last time.

After thinking for a moment, she twisted the magic stone on the necklace she was fiddling with.

Perhaps the signal went to his necklace.

Purr-

I wait for him with the dance moves of the night birds as his friends.

Although she wasn’t specifically testing him, Yuuna counted the seconds in her head.

It was because I remembered his words about running straight to me.

“It’s late… “

But he did not appear even after some time had passed.

Not even five minutes had passed, but he was getting further and further away from his promise to show up right away.

While I was walking around the garden for a while longer,

“omg… omg… “

I see him running in a hurry.

Did he suddenly jump out of his sleep? His clothes were more comfortable than usual.

Yuuna almost got angry because he was later than expected, but seeing him struggling made her feel slightly relieved.

Yuuna approached him running down the corridor without even realizing that she was secretly smiling.

“Princess?”

“Isn’t it too late? He said he would come running from anywhere right away. As expected, there is a punishment for you… ”

“Where on earth have you been!!”

“Ahh… ?”

Yuna approached him playfully, but he got angry and grabbed her shoulder harshly.

When I looked closely, I saw that he was sweating profusely, as if he had run in quite a hurry.

His slightly wet bangs were an eyesore for no reason.

“Do you know how worried I was because there was no one in the room! They searched the room to see if they had been kidnapped! Still, there were no traces… So, I was on my way to ask for help from the 1st Prince… !”

“Well, that…” Of course I thought it would come right to where I was. Rather, are you out of your mind? How dare you raise your voice to me on the topic of escort knights… ”

“Because I’m an escort knight! Because he is the princess’s knight! That’s why you can raise your voice. There is no choice but to raise it! I am the one who has to protect the princess. “If the princess disappears, I will be the first person to worry!”

Only then did Yuuna realize that this necklace did not have the function of telling the other person’s location.

Also, from his point of view, he would naturally have thought that she would call him from her room.

It wasn’t that he was slow, he was on his way to search through Yuna’s room and ask the first prince for help, even assuming the possibility that she had been kidnapped.

His feelings were clearly felt in the hand holding Yuna’s shoulder.

“… … .”

Yuna slowly looked at his face.

There was a clear sense of urgency on his face. For some reason, the feeling that that handsome face was so worried about him wasn’t bad.

As I stared at his face, he let go of my hand and apologized to Yuna.

It seemed like he was apologizing for raising his hand arbitrarily.

Yuna was curious.

Why are you doing this? Why on earth are you so worried about yourself?

Everyone else just wants them to disappear.

Although his intentions were completely unexpected, Yuna could clearly tell that he was truly worried about her.

“one thing. “I will ask.”

“Please ask.”

“The reason you go so far to protect me, the reason you raise your voice against me, the reason you are angry at the fact that you could have lost me. Is it because that’s your job?”

Maybe it was because he was just an escort.

It may have been because his neck was at risk if he could not protect himself properly. In the first place, knights were like that.

However, Yuna was unknowingly anticipating a one-in-a-thousand possibility.

She was hoping that he had some other reason for worrying about her.

“… “If my mission was to protect someone other than the princess, then I wouldn’t have acted like this.”

“… … ”

“Because the target is the princess. And just like that, I was angry because the princess was important to me. “Before he is an object of protection, he is someone I want to protect for the rest of my life.”

“… “Does this mean that you will protect me even if I am not royal?”

“Yes, I swore. “I will protect you, not the royal family.”

At those words, Yuna’s heart trembled like an idiot.

The heart that had not been beating for a long time revealed its presence just a little, just a little.

I still couldn’t understand it. Maybe he was just a stupid man who fell in love with his own beauty.

However, he clearly showed sincerity. I could no longer doubt his words that he would protect himself.

“If the princess lacks faith, I will show it through my actions throughout my life.”

Beryl knelt in front of Yuuna and swore.

‘I will be your knight. I will protect you for the rest of my life.’

forever. For a lifetime.

The moment he spit out those words, Yuna remembered that day long ago.

The night I first met Ben. Like a fool, he approached Yuna and made a promise he couldn’t keep, saying that he would protect her for the rest of his life.

Strangely enough, Ben and the knight Beryl that day looked very similar.

I wanted to believe in him.

“… is it so. then,”

That’s why Yuna decided. I opened my mouth.

He also needed his faithful sword. He seemed like he would make a good swordsman.

And maybe, he might even be on his side more than that.

“Make me, Yuuna Fontana Helias, the queen of Helia.”

“yes… ?”

Beryl, who heard Yuna’s declaration, raised her head with an uncharacteristically dumb expression.

I was telling him a secret that I had kept completely hidden, but it didn’t matter.

If he didn’t accept it, all I had to do was cut off his head.

But Yuna was confident that he wouldn’t do that.

Rather than saying I was sure, I hoped so.

“I will become the queen of Helia.”

It was something I had been preparing for several years. To become the Queen of Helia.

Although she had nothing accomplished compared to the 1st Prince, the likely successor, she made that promise one day.

I decided to become the queen of Helia and punish everyone who killed Regius and Ben 10 years ago.

“That means… ”

“We will change the succession rank. It’s still a little bit, but we’re building up our power. I can’t do it next to you. “I must be the next king.”

It would be nice to have one of the escort knights completely on your side.

Beryl’s skills were clear, so there was a good chance she would one day occupy a good position in the knights.

Since he was a knight from a commoner who had just joined the team, he might not be of much help, but that made him more trustworthy.

Yuna also needed at least one sword of her own.

“… I will accept it. but,”

As expected, he accepted the offer.

However, he still spoke while looking directly into Yuna’s eyes.

“If you do that, would you please open your mind a little to me?”

“… yes?”

“It will be the sword that protects you for the rest of your life. “Can you please open your heart to me?”

His next answer was completely unexpected.

***

Phuuk-

“Kuhhh…” Ugh… !”

dark room.

A woman’s moans come out along with the sound of a needle digging into her skin.

“Oh, oh oh… !”

The medication had already been repeated hundreds or thousands of times, but no one thought to stop her.

Day by day, she was becoming drugged and exhausted, but no one could think of stopping her.

At one point, she tried to get a famous therapist to help her with her addiction.

However, the problem was that I trusted that therapist and left Syria in charge.

Syria killed the therapist who had made every effort to counsel and treat her who was addicted to drugs.

When the therapist and Syria were left alone in the room to treat her,

Syria grabbed a kitchen knife that had been hidden in advance and stabbed the therapist in the heart without hesitation. And immediately pulled out the knife.

Upon hearing the therapist’s screams, workers rushed into the room and evacuated him, but it was already too late.

This was partly because the heart was pierced, and partly because the knife was pulled out immediately, causing excessive blood loss in an instant.

What was even more terrifying was that she was sober and not on drugs when she stabbed the therapist in the heart.

After that incident, no one tried to treat the daughter of the Ceramide Duke family.

Rumors of the terrible incident immediately spread throughout the kingdom.

It was to no avail that the duke confiscated the medicine and banned its supply.

Syria, unable to take action, went on a rampage, and if she made a mistake, all of the duchy’s employees could have been killed by her.

However, since he could not kill his only daughter, the duke had no choice but to neglect her to drugs and alcohol for several years.

“Keuhihihi… hemp cloth… Ben… ! Wow… !”

It was still the same 10 years later.
