I was surprised since I hadn’t heard anything from Cahilern.

‘Something seems off…’

Actually, there were many parts that didn’t make sense if Matthias claimed to have rescued me. No matter how noble he was, how could he enter the Second Prince’s palace, and how could he steal a princess without anyone noticing?

But if it was Cahilern, everything made sense. He was the First Prince and the guild master.

‘I wonder if he does this every night?’

Cahilern had a habit of keeping a small night light on when he slept. He used to tease me, saying it was scary to be in the dark after spending a long time on the battlefield, but now I realized he did it for me.

In truth, after being trapped in the secret chamber for a few days, I felt suffocated in the pitch-black darkness. However, Cahilern already knew about it without me saying anything. My nose tingled.

“My lord?”

I, who was sitting dumbfounded, was called again by Matthias.

I quickly stood up. I suddenly wanted to see Cahilern right now.

“Thank you for telling me. I have urgent matters, so I’ll be going now. Let’s talk slowly next time.”

Before hearing Matthias’ response, I hastily left the library. Sylvia, who was waiting outside, followed me with a puzzled look.

Ignoring the reports from the Royal Guard heading towards the First Prince’s palace, I opened the door without hesitation.

Cahilern, who was sitting at the desk reading documents, raised his eyebrows when he saw me. Once, that expression could not have been more disdainful, but now it couldn’t be more adorable.

Whether I looked strange or not, Cahilern stood up from his seat.

“What’s going on?”

Randolph, who was observing us, left the office with Matthias. As Sylvia followed, leaving only the two of us in the office, I briskly headed towards Cahilern.

“What’s wrong? What’s happening?”

Cahilern, who had guessed that something serious had happened to me, gently comforted and pulled away from me, then asked like comforting a child.

“What kind of accident did you get into?”

Laughter burst out at his confident tone. I looked at Cahilern with a smile. His violet eyes were full of concern for me, along with a slight hint of amusement.

As we became closer, Cahilern seemed to be sure that something serious had happened to me. He gently comforted me, then asked like comforting a child.

“What accident happened that you rushed in like this?”
I wrapped my legs around Cahilern’s waist as he held me up. Looking down at him, with his agile senses and caring gestures more than anyone else, the man was genuinely adorable, and my heart trembled with quiet consideration.

“I like you. For real this time.”

Cahilern, who hesitated at my confession, stared at me with an unfamiliar expression. Then, his cheeks gradually relaxed. It seemed like a real accident had happened.

“Can today be considered my birthday?”

Cahilern, who had wiped my cheek on his chest, looked at me. Then, somewhat impatiently, he moved his steps. The legs wrapped around Cahilern’s waist were not loosened as he put me down on the sofa.

Cahilern naturally pressed his body closer, planting kisses all over my face.

And soon, our lips met. Cahilern, who gently invaded through the naturally parting lips, encircled me in a sweet and melting kiss.

Bang!

The glass thrown by Floria hit the wall and shattered into pieces.

Even after that, Floria wildly overturned things all over the place as if her anger hadn’t subsided. After glancing around the now chaotic room for a moment, Floria, breathing heavily, looked at Shanna.

“Shanna, call Lady Reneola.”

Why should she go through all this trouble alone when the troublemaker is gone?

The information Reneola Violet provided about Heitz Upper was more beneficial than expected. However, luck was not on her side.

But why, of all things, did her luck have to be bad, stirring Floria’s temper to this extent? Floria wanted someone who would take responsibility for everything.

The person who had to take responsibility now was Reneola Violet, her sister.

“Did you call, Lady Vi?”

Floria looked down at Reneola, who was presenting herself with proper etiquette. Despite the mess she caused, Floria’s skin was radiant with a glow.

“It seems like Prince Eric treated you well, sister. Your face looks very bright.”

Helplessly, thoughts of Eric crossed Floria’s mind, and her mood sank even lower. She was suffering because of such a foolish prince, and yet her sister seemed quite loved, and her expression was cheerful.

But, Reneola Violet shouldn’t be wearing such a face. It should be Floria herself who could make that kind of face, and Reneola Violet should be the one envious, for everything to go back to normal.

“It rained heavily in the Siez territory. Did you know?”

“Ah… I heard.”

“You heard? But you just sat there quietly?”

I suffered because of you, and you knew it, but you were just wiping your mouth, weren’t you?
Floria, who bit her lip, extended her hand to Shanna. What she wanted was clear. Shanna handed the red gem she was holding to Floria.
