ch me.

 

I’ll get caught at this rate.

 

I clenched the spray in case I was caught and looked forward again.

 

“Argh!” 

 

When I fell down and couldn’t get up, the first thing I thought was that I was doomed.
The moment when I feel that I have to do something because I can’t be caught like this. 

 

“Ugh!” 

 

“Argggh!” 

 

A scream was heard from behind. 

 

I couldn’t even look back in surprise and looked ahead blankly.
Then, come to think of it, I bumped into—.
I saw a white priest’s uniform.

 

I raised my head without thinking and met his blue eyes. 

 

The terrifyingly beautiful man looked at me as I fell and smiled.

 

“That’s right.
Just look at me like that.”

 

“…What do you mean.”

 

“You’d better not look back.”

 

I wasn’t so stupid that I couldn’t figure out that the people whose hearts had stopped beating were behind me.
The blood was flowing through the sword Richard was holding dripped and fell, making a small puddle. 

 

I realized for a moment that I was close to Richard my voice was softly slipping. 

 

I got caught—.

 

“I was surprised that you suddenly ran away, Miss Shabrina.”

 

“….”

 

Richard still called me Shabrina as if he didn’t recognize me.

 


“I heard there is an urgent matter, but the situation is dangerous right now.” 

 

“….” 

 

“Come on, hold my hand and get up.”

 

I stared blankly at Richard’s hand in the white glove.

 

“Miss Shabrina, do you have no strength to get up?”

 

…Richard said that my body definitely smells.

 

I thought it was a lie when I just met him three years ago, but now I know it’s not.
But why—, is he doing this on purpose?

 

I couldn’t do this or that because I didn’t understand at all, but Richard walked up to me and put his arm under my lap and lifted me up.

 

“W, what are you doing—!”

 

I shut my mouth again.

 

I think he might have heard my voice.

 

“Because you can’t get up.”

 

“….” 

 

“You must have been surprised to see something terrible happen.
I’ll take you to the mansion.”

 

“…I don’t need it.” 

 

I spoke with a low voice and hid my voice.

 

“I’m worried.”

 

I saw Richards.

 

The blue eyes simply smiled professionally, not with sincerity.
I felt like I was going back to when I first met Richard.

 

He walked with me in his arms.

 

“Miss Shabrina! What is this—!”

 

The knights were surprised to see me falling and becoming muddy.
However, they received Richard’s gaze and kept their mouths shut.

 

Without a word, Richard hugged me and sat me in the carriage.

 

“…I can go on my own now.”

 

“All right.”

 

I was relieved when he stepped back cleanly, unexpectedly.

 

“By the way, Miss Shabrina.”

 


“…Yes.” 

 

Richard grabbed my wrist with a meaningful smile and turned it around, making my palm look at the sky.
I look at him to see what he is doing, and Richard puts a blue diamond in the palm of my hand.

 

…It was a memento of Michelle’s mother.

 

“I heard you were busy, but I couldn’t give her things back to her without you, so I went after you.”

 

“….” 

 

“Then see you next time.”

 

…Next time? 

 

What do you mean next time? That’s never going to happen. 

 

But Richard looked at me with persistent eyes.
I don’t know what the hell he’s thinking.

 

I hurriedly closed the carriage door.
I was just thinking of getting out of here for now.

 

Then the carriage left the auction house and arrived at the familiar Baron Savlin residence.

 

“Rina! What the hell are you…” 

 

“Take it, Lady.”

 

Surprised at my appearance, I handed Michelle the memento.

 

Michelle held the relic previously but fixed her gaze on me.

 

“I just fell a little.”

 

“…Everything’s fine, right, Rina?”

 

“What would have happened to me when the Paladins protecting me?”

 

“…Of course, there shouldn’t be any.
If anything goes wrong, I will cut off all transactions with the temple.”

 

“Lady, what if you act as you please?”

 

“…But.” 

 

Michelle looked sullen as if she didn’t like it. 

 

I smile and comfort her.

 

“Lady, you said you were going to the north soon, right? I’ll go too.”

 

“Suddenly? You said you weren’t going before.
You said you hated the North.”

 

“I changed my mind.
You know.
I’m unpredictable.”

 

For once, my only thought was to run away to the north and get away from the madman.

 

That’s how it was decided to go north with Michelle.
Time passed, and the day to depart for the North came.
