“……Ah.”
Only then did I realize my mistake.
I had let go of Hades’s hand even though he hadn’t told me to.
“I’m sorry.”
Instead of answering, Hades drew a few symbols in the air.
The symbols, glowing white, writhed and then transformed into a giant door.
He opened the door and pulled me inside.
“……!”
I opened my eyes wide. Exquisite decorations filled my vision, so alien and grand. This place was, surely…
“Have we entered the annex?” I asked.
“You know well.”
Hades let go of my hand.
“Be careful when you leave.”
“Can’t I just walk normally?”
“You must know why you can’t.”
Hades was right. Fewer witnesses were better for this visit.
“This way.”
A few steps in, a space appeared that looked more like a drawing room than a place for reading.
At the table in the center, Duke Schzetzen was reading a letter with a serious expression.
“Looks good.”
“……!”
Rising up in surprise, the Duke was quite a sight. The face that always feigned calm was now distorted in shock, and the letter in his hand was crumpled into a useless wad of paper.
“……Duke? How did you get in here?”
“Is that what’s important now, Duke?”
Hades replied coldly.
“I apologize.”
The Duke immediately apologized.
“May I ask why you have come to see me?”
Though his voice seemed calm, a faint tremor betrayed his nerves.
“You know better than I do.”
“I do not know.”
The Duke looked genuinely confused, wearing a baffled expression.
“Heh.”
Hades let out a scoff.
“Did you receive training from a wandering troupe, Duke? Your acting is topnotch.”
The Duke continued to play dumb.
“It seems there has been some misunderstanding. If you tell me exactly what this is about, I can clarify.”
“……”
Hades glared at him for a moment, then handed over a crumpled piece of paper.
“You won’t pretend you don’t know this, will you?”
The Duke furrowed his brow.
“What is this?”
“Someone threatened Angel in my office.”
The Duke stared intently at Hades.
“You say this yourself?”
“No. They cleverly hid thorns and a note.”
“Your Grace, in my opinion……”
He stopped speaking and hung his head.
“No, it’s better not to speak.”
“Do so. It’s an order.”
“……”
The Duke lightly touched the note.
“Your Grace, why do you think I wrote this?”
“You threatened Angel a few days ago. Isn’t this an extension of that?”
“Ah, Angelica must have told you that.”
The Duke chuckled quietly.
“She must have been quite frightened.”
“……What do you mean?”
He rubbed his eyes and sighed.
“Your Grace, I will be honest. Why are we here? Surely for Her Highness the Princess.”
Hades nodded, urging him to continue.
“Of course, Angelica is nothing but a thorn in my side.”
“What does that have to do with the Holy Sword?”
Unable to bear it any longer, I interjected, causing Schzetzen to look at Hades with a puzzled face.
“What is Angelica talking about? I know nothing about the Holy Sword, nor am I interested.”
Hades replied sharply.
“She tried to figure out how to open the report to steal the Holy Sword.”
“Ha, haha!”
Suddenly, the Duke burst into laughter.
“So, you took a joke seriously.”
“A joke? Surely, trying to open the report to steal the Holy Sword……!”
Hades grabbed my arm and silenced me.
Shujechin laughed with a snicker and said,
“I only warned Miss Angelica to stay reasonably away from His Grace the Duke and Her Highness the Princess.”
“What about the holy sword?”
“Miss Angelica said that it was not to be… So I opened the report and told them to bring it as the holy sword. I admit that it’s an excessive joke.”
He strode and stood before me.
“But Your Highness, please believe me. I just wanted to get rid of Miss Angelica in front of my lord. This isn’t wrong as a subject, is it?”
A heavy silence fell.
Hades stared at Shujechin with an inscrutable face.
“So, what the Duke of Byung is saying now.”
Hades’s voice was slow and threatening.
“That you tried to intimidate a subject I don’t favor, to make her leave me.”
“…Yes.”
“And you don’t seem to be thinking of apologizing for it.”
“Her Highness the Princess is the noblest lady in the world. Should such a person share the heart of a low commoner and His Grace the Duke?”
“You are most loyal, Duke Byung.”
“If I have been impertinent, I will apologize.”
The corner of Hades’s mouth twisted.
“No, there’s nothing to apologize for. I can’t blame your loyalty to the lord. But there’s one thing you’d better know, Duke Byung.”
“…….”
“Even better if you tell Her Highness.”
His icy voice was aimed at Shujechin.
“My heart belongs to Angel. It’s a waste of effort to try to change this, you should know well.”
“Now I understand.”
Shujechin bowed his head.
“I tried to do something impossible.”
I stared back and forth at the two of them, dumbfounded.
Is it over like this? With the threat stemming from Shujechin’s loyalty?
“Lucky.”
Hades spoke coldly.
“If anything happens to Angel in the future, even a little, I’ll know it’s Duke Byung’s fault.”
“…Yes?”
Shujechin looked as surprised as I was.
