The knightly order had instructed the ducal servant to bring dolls to Evelia’s room when she was running around looking for a rabbit at the marquis’s place.

They wished for their young mistress to be delighted by her cute animal friends as soon as she opened the door.

“……”

But the animal friends, standing and gleaming their eyes everywhere on the bed, under the bed, on the table, between the chairs looked more like a scene from a horror movie than being cute.

Even Vivian, who tried to cover up the knights’ effort, held her tongue after a glance around Evelia’s room. Ah, these ignorant knights!

“…I can’t… clean… this up!”

Evelia, with her mouth tightly shut like she was scolding puppies that had made a mess, made her way to the bed by stepping over each of the dolls.

In the meantime, she brought the animal dolls she found particularly cute in her sight one by one. Evelia, who came holding the dolls, suggested to Vivian that the rest of the dolls could be divided as New Year’s gifts to the needy children outside the duchy.

“How could… our young miss have such a kind heart.”

Although it was just too difficult to handle, Vivian, who was looking at her with sparkling eyes, made Evelia feel overwhelmed and she covered herself with a blanket.

Although she was overly extravagant, the presence of baby shark and chick who were by her side made her feel strangely good.

Evelia, who embraced the baby shark doll, smiled with her small lips pursed.

Late in the night. A demon appeared in her dreams, whom she had met in the forest.

Look. I’m a really cute rabbit. I came here because I wanted to see you again.

Evelia strangely caressed the devil’s head that was babbling pretty words and flying around, and handed him the baby shark doll.

As soon as the Marquis of Cassis’ birthday party was over, the Marquis of Defon and Seresto, dragging their trembling legs, climbed onto the carriage.

Hugo leaving the count and the young mistress to be beheaded and leaving only Seresto in the garden was a warning.

A harsh warning that if you touch Evelia recklessly, Seresto will end up like this.

He could not forget the gruesome sight of death and the sticky blood. Seresto’s hands, holding the cushion, were trembling.

Seresto always thought he was the best. Universal. He thought there was no word that better expressed him.

He wanted to show off to all the nobles at today’s party by pressing down the princess’s nose.

That the one who will dominate the social world in the future is not the princess but him.

If you exclude the prestige of Artina, he has the power to crush a mere princess anytime.

But it was not. The princess was unfazed by his provocation and survived in front of Dantalion.

Her bright blonde hair, shining like the sun, was a bit more beautiful than he thought, and the nobles were also strong and reliable, incomparable to his aura.

Moreover, unlike the knights of the Marquis’s house, who kept him at a distance, the knights of Artina seemed to be willing to give him even their gall bladder for the princess.

Above all, the princess summoned a spirit and immediately found out that the Count of Mirone was a contractor of the demon. On the other hand, he was hit by a water balloon and disgraced.

Nothing went as he wanted.

What’s so great about that girl, that mere girl.

“Father! You said that something big would happen to the princess today!!”

Seresto, who couldn’t suppress his anger, shouted at the Marquis of Defon.

“Noisy! What were you thinking when you approached the princess first! I’ve repeatedly told you to be careful when dealing with Artina!!”

“But, as long as that girl is there, I…”

“Just get on the empress’s seat! It’s said that the crown prince will soon return to the capital, so why don’t you try to capture him properly!”

If Seresto became the Empress and her son became the Emperor in the future, it would be no big deal to strike the Artina family.

While imagining sitting on the throne of the world, the two were lost in their blissful delusion for a moment.

Boom!

The carriage shook violently once, then it swayed.

“Kyah……!”

“Eek……!”

The carriage toppled roughly, and due to the recoil, the duke was flung out of the carriage, while Evelia lay motionless inside the carriage with her eyes closed.

The knights and servants escorting the carriage hurried over to check on the duke and Evelia.

And two beings, invisible to humans, were watching this with frozen eyes.

“Hmm… is this okay? I’m not sure if this is a violation of the rules.”

As the boy tilted his head,

“This much is okay.”

The man answered lightly, as if he had endured a lot to this extent.

“Well, if you didn’t do it, I was going to overturn it anyway, Elaim.”

A boy with a cinnamoncolored skin, chocolatecolored hair, and black eyes, drew a fascinating line with his lips.
