“I’m sorry.”
Carlien was getting tired of Ruans’ constant blaming of others and his inability to feel remorse. However, he could not quit his job as Ruans’ aide in this state.
‘The moment I quit, I might be killed by Duke Greycan.’
Carlien maintained the top position at the academy while others played, and graduated with a full scholarship. His competence was coveted by many.
When he first received the scouting offer from the Greycan duchy, he thought a lot. In fact, he wanted to work at the imperial palace, but the sweet compensation offered by Daniel was tempting.
At first, he considered it an honor to protect and assist Prince Ruans. He assisted to the best of his abilities and was recognized by Daniel for his competence. It felt like he had achieved his dream. However, dreams were just dreams after all. He came to know of Ruans’ tyrannical temperament and the rebellion plans Daniel would carry out in the future. He could not back out. The only way to quit was death.
It would be fortunate if only he died, but since his family’s lives were being held hostage, he could not easily quit. He thought about it dozens or hundreds of times a day, but always ended the day by consoling himself that he just needed to endure.
Daniel and Ruans were truly like cunning snakes. They naturally involved him in their evil plans. If he could turn back time, he wanted to return to his academy days. If only he could graduate with average grades and get a job at a decent noble family.
Being with Ruans only made him feel like he was on a cruise ship slowly sinking into the sea.
“Sir Carlien. I need to meet Lorencia right away.”
“You cannot meet Lady Lorencia at the moment.”
It was an incident that everyone knew about, even though it was being kept quiet.
Ruans drew his sword in Adrian’s office, and Teishar responded in kind, resulting in Ruans getting beaten up to the point where both his cheeks were torn.
Teishar’s overstepping response should have been addressed, but since it was Ruans who drew his sword in the crown prince’s office, not a word could be said. It was decided to bury it quietly.
After that, in the honorary duel with Lorirolls, Ruans lost shamefully and miserably. Out of embarrassment, he went down to the Greycan territory with Pelena. Honestly, from Carlien’s perspective, it was a relief.
“It’s your job to make it possible for me to meet her, Carlien. Why can’t you do it? If you can’t even do this simple task, how are you going to help me! You incompetent trash.”
“Lady Lorencia is currently with Viscount Spencer.”
“Spencer! Spencer! Why won’t that bastard stay away from my monster! That monster is mine.”
“It can’t be helped.”
“Every day you say it can’t be helped. It’s impossible. Don’t just say that and! Argh!”
Ruans screamed and once again smashed the objects he grabbed onto the floor with all his might. Fragments of the shattered objects flew in all directions. Carlien watched Ruans’ tantrum with a face devoid of all emotion, like a wooden doll.
“Sir Carlien.”
“Yes. Prince Ruans.”
“Go and separate Lorencia from Spencer right now, no matter what!”
Ruans kept ordering the impossible. Things he himself could not do. Agreeing to Ruans here would be absolutely unacceptable.
“I’m sorry.”
“You incompetent and cockroach-like bastard, are you just taking the money and not doing your job? Do you want to die?”
“I will try to interfere with Viscount Spencer meeting Lady Lorencia.”
“Find a way!”
“Then I will try to find a way to secretly meet Lady Lorencia.”
Ruans walked through the shattered objects and reached out his arm to Carlien. His hand grabbed Carlien’s collar roughly. Then he pulled him close with force.
“You have to find a way to meet my cute monster. If you can’t meet her, then somehow meet her and write down the dreams she’s had lately.”
“The dreams, you say?”
“Yes. Write down the dreams the monster has had.”
“Understood.”
The force gripping the collar disappeared. Carlien bowed to Ruans. As he closed the door and left, a sigh automatically escaped. He quietly muttered to himself that he wanted to quit. But he could not quit.
Just thinking about how to meet Lorencia made Carlien dizzy and nauseous.
“It would be nice to run into Lady Lorencia while walking down the hallway.”
Carlien was about to walk down the long hallway with a deep sigh.
“Sir Carlien.”
At that moment, someone called out to him from behind, and Carlien stopped walking.
“Sir Lanslon?”
Lanslon was a close aide of Crown Prince Adrian.
“It’s been a while.”
“What brings you here?”
“I came on the orders of His Highness Crown Prince Adrian to check on Prince Ruans’ condition.”
“What did you just say?”
“I said I came to check on Prince Ruans’ condition. Is he in his room?”
“Yes. He is, but the situation is not good.”
“It’s alright.”
“Excuse me, Sir Lanslon.”
Carlien urgently stopped Lanslon, who was about to knock on the door of the room where Ruans was.
Ruans had smashed all the objects in the room out of anger. If Lanslon entered like this, it was obvious that he would report the current state of the room directly to Adrian.
“Is it because the room is a mess, Sir Carlien?”
“Well, that’s…”
“It’s alright. It’s not like we don’t know Prince Ruans’ temperament. Surely he wouldn’t lay a hand on me, a close aide of the crown prince?”
Carlien’s head began to throb at Lanslon’s words. A sigh automatically escaped.
“Prince Ruans is in a bad mood today.”
“His mood might get even worse, so Sir Carlien, quickly get out of the way.”
Lanslon approached Carlien closely. Lanslon smiled and handed him a small note.
“I will enter Prince Ruans’ room now.”
Carlien put the note he received from Lanslon in his pocket, clutching it tightly. He checked the contents of the note when he was alone. He tilted his head instinctively. It was an invitation to have tea together.
‘8 o’clock tonight.’
“Could it be that he’s trying to make that offer again?”
Previously, he had received an offer from Adrian to play the role of a double agent. Of course, he refused. He could not be free from Duke Greycan. Because his family’s lives were at stake. He could never betray Daniel and Ruans. Daniel knew that well too.
Carlien swallowed the received paper, hoping they would accurately understand his situation.
[This is the timeline separator]Carlien told Ruans about the note he received from Lanslon.
From Carlien’s perspective, the double agent job was not a bad opportunity. Being a double agent meant he could play both sides. In other words, it meant he could escape from his current bad situation at any time.
Life always brings unexpected events. Carlien arrived at the promised location on time. But a completely different person was waiting for him. Someone he never expected.
“I’m Lorencia from the Pol Heredian family.”
“Nice to meet you. I’m Carlien from the Maiolan family.”
The person waiting for Carlien was the one Ruans desperately wanted to meet. It was none other than Lorencia. Although Ruans called Lorencia a stupid monster, a deep shrewdness could be felt from her purple eyes.
“Prince Ruans is very worried about me, right?”
“That’s right.”
“What did he tell you to do if you met me? To ask about my well-being? Or to confirm if I’m really dating Viscount Spencer?”
“He ordered me to write down any dreams you’ve had.”
Lorencia smiled at Carlien’s words.
“Is there nothing else?”
“He said Viscount Spencer took what was his.”
Carlien’s heart was pounding with anticipation. Ruans doesn’t give any emotional care to women and just plays with them. As a result, Carlien had been handling the aftermath of the women Ruans had abandoned. The aftermath was something he could tolerate, but he was annoyed at becoming an emotional trash can for women on behalf of Ruans.
However, there was one woman Ruans uniquely cared about. It was Lorencia in front of him. To think of it as love would be difficult because rather than love, Ruans was extremely obsessed with Lorencia to the point where only deep obsession could be felt.
So based on what Ruans said, Carlien came to a few conclusions.
“Prince Ruans ordered me to write down the dreams Lady Lorencia has had.”
“As expected, he only wants my dreams.”
“That’s right. Prince Ruans spoke of Lady Lorencia as if she knows the future.”
Ruans really talked about Lorencia as if she could see the future. If that was true, it would explain why Ruans was so obsessed with her.
Being able to see the future means having the power to potentially dominate the world.
“Sir Carlien.”
“Yes.”
“Do you think there are people who can see the future?”
“I believe Lady Lorencia is the person who can see the future. Otherwise, I cannot explain why Prince Ruans is so obsessed with you.”
No matter how much he thought about it, there was something special about Lorencia’s dreams. That’s why Ruans kept saying he needed to know Lorencia’s dreams.
“Sir Carlien, you are smarter than I thought.”
“Thank you for the compliment.”
Lorencia looked at Carlien sitting across from her. She knew what kind of person he was because she had experienced him in her past life.
He was a talented individual who graduated from the academy on a scholarship and was a close aide to Ruans. Carlien was one of the people Ruans trusted quite a bit, but he had no idea that trust was built on one-sided violence from Ruans.
