“It’s…….”
I rolled my eyes quickly to check my appearance. I was fully dressed in my uniform, even wearing the white cape of the White Knights.
I should have worn something ordinary.
Dressed so fine as if I was eager to reveal that I was a member of the White Knights, I hardly looked like a passerby.
“Sir Knight?”
“Don’t worry about it. I just thought you might need some help as a knight…….”
As I suddenly stopped speaking, Daisy’s cheeks twitched. Seeing the look of distress on her pale face, I sent her a reassuring look and took my sword hilt in hand.
A burly man who had recovered his senses was stealthily creeping up. As I lightly stepped on the man’s chest and held the sword hilt close to his chin, the man closed his eyes tightly.
“I’m not trying to do anything.”
Just then, I spotted a patrol nearby and waved to them.
“What’s going on?”
As the patrol approached, Daisy hesitated and grabbed my cape again. I carefully blocked her view and answered.
“There were three men here teasing a young lady in broad daylight.”
“Are you a knight of the White Knights?”
Meeting their somewhat burdensome gaze as they looked at me as if I were an object of admiration, I cleared my throat and nodded.
Wearing my uniform with a cape was overdoing it, no matter how I thought about it.
“Severe punishment seems necessary.”
“Can you tell us more specifically what happened?”
“These men threatened to kidnap me.”
Suddenly, Daisy’s sharp voice reached my ears. I turned to look back. It was something Daisy had said.
Though tense, she seemed to have found the determination to speak.
“They threatened you?”
“I heard it too. They were saying things like, ‘We only look ahead, what will you do if we run away with her?’ They threatened the young lady.”
It occurred to me that despite my ostentatious appearance in my uniform and cape, these men hadn’t even guessed my identity.
Everyone in the Phoennes Empire knows about the White Knights.
“They’re very vile men.”
“Please also investigate their backgrounds in detail.”
“Yes, I understand.”
As the patrol led the three men away, Daisy sighed in relief.
“It seems everything is settled, so I should be on my way.”
“Thank you so much. I want to repay you, Sir Knight. Could you tell me your name…….?”
“That’s fine. I do not want any repayment.”
“But…….”
Daisy’s words were cut off by a coughing fit. What seemed like a light cough turned into a heavy one, as if she were gasping for breath.
I couldn’t just leave her like this.
“Are you alright?”
“I’m sorry. I feel a chill.”
Daisy’s eyes were moist as she looked up at me, having coughed continuously.
As Daisy seemed to tremble from head to toe, I immediately took off my cape. Then I carefully wrapped it around her.
“This…….”
Daisy alternated between looking at the cape that had settled on her shoulders and me.
“It would be good if you cover yourself with this. Where are your maid and servant?”
“Actually, I wanted some free time, so I snuck out into the alley. They’re probably looking for me now.”
Ah, right. That was it.
From the beginning, the jewelry was an excuse, and Daisy had snuck away from her maid and servant to wander the square. That’s how she got involved with Ian.
“Then I will accompany you to the main road.”
“No, the maid will be here soon. I cannot inconvenience you so much…….”
Daisy’s words were cut off by a burst of coughing.
In the original work, Daisy was quite spirited, so the time limit didn’t feel so pressing, but seeing her pale complexion so quickly filled me with sorrow.
If I could change Daisy’s predetermined ending, it would be great.
I was suddenly caught up in the thought of a part of the original work.
[“I am thankful to you, Sir.”“My lady.”
“Thank you for helping me without asking for anything in return…….””] “It’s not that I didn’t want anything in return.”
Edwin, who had been looking out the window, suddenly turned his body and looked at me.
“What? What is that…”
“I just needed a small smile from the lady.”
A small smile was enough, what did that mean…
“Could it be…”
“You catch on quickly.”
I finally understood. Edwin was always smiling, and now I knew why I felt affection for him, why his beautiful smile sometimes made me feel sad.
Edwin, he had been in love with me.
I realized it just before I died, Daisy, you’re really pathetic.
With a bitter smile, as if mocking myself, I looked up into Edwin’s eyes. Tears were brimming in the corners of his eyes.
“If there is a next life, then…”
“…”
“Will you be friends with me?”
“I will do anything for you.”
This was a section that made me cry every time I read it. After meeting Edwin and Daisy in person, just thinking about that scene made my heart ache.
I hope they’re both happy this time.
“You’ll need this more while you’re waiting. If you wear this, you won’t be harassed by strange people like before.”
“……Thank you.”
[Star Icon]It didn’t turn out exactly as I wanted, but does this mean the original story has changed?

The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
