With a sincere confession, Diana couldn’t hold back and clung to his chest, pouring out her sorrow.

“Hoo, I won’t just stand still against those bastards who made my body a playground!”

Silently comforting her, he patted her back. The once smooth back showed no signs of wounds.

It was just a temporary cover-up with magic. The wounds didn’t disappear.

The shock was ingrained in his mind, and it wouldn’t fade away.

Yes, those who hurt her would not go unpunished.

He held her preciously like protecting a small bird that had flown into his embrace.

Although the rain outside the window had stopped, the rain soaking his chest continued to fall.

With a robust physique and black hair, red eyes characteristic of Beatus shone in the prison where all directions were blocked.

“Cough.”

The man hanging from chains was covered in blood from the whipping.

A man with no sacred place, the eldest son of the Beatus family, Devir Beatus.

“Sigh.”

Spitting out a bloody clot, he moistened his throat and exhaled. Confined in the special prison of the princess, he had been detained with an unclear charge.

“That child escaped.”

He spoke to the empty air.

“Yes.”

“Who is it?”

“They say it’s Schwarz’s tyrant.”
Bound by chains, strength was exerted on the slackened body. A wry smile appeared on the face, soaked in sweat, resembling a wet puzzle piece.

“Perfect timing. Quite amusing.”

The youngest one was not included in the plan to drag Schwarz in.

Trying to confine him for protection ended up entangling him with Schwarz, the tyrant on the battlefield.

“Sigh. What about Neitan?”

“He departed from the north to the capital.”

“How is Vanessa?”

“Her mood is fluctuating according to the Crown Prince’s attitude. Unfavorable rumors are spreading within the palace, stating that she has already engaged in depravity.”

It was obvious that the position of the Crown Princess was diminishing.

The Crown Prince was using a newly acquired woman to weaken Vanessa’s mental state.

Devir Beatus closed his eyes as if something weighed heavily on him, then opened them.

The intense gaze carried a palpable sense of vitality. The subordinate hiding in the shadows swallowed nervously due to the tension.

“First, go to the north yourself and check on the youngest one.”

“Yes.”

“If anything happens to that child, exclude the north as well.”

“I will follow your orders.”

The bowed subordinate asked cautiously, “How long will you stay here?”

“It’s about time to leave. The more I use this damn power, the more burden it puts on the child.”

This cursed power, consuming the youngest one’s lifespan.

“Since you came willingly, I must destroy all the stone tablets the princess possesses.”
That much needs to be done for a fair exchange. The eyes twisted with madness sank coldly.

Thud- Diana, who was riding in the carriage, snapped to attention at the jolting. She had come outside the castle for a change of mood.

A lot had happened in a short time.

After the disappearance of the red aura, the attitudes of the servants towards her became polite again. Those who had grievances were all dismissed.

The female members of the Gasin family, brought in by Irene, were also cut off from rebuilding with the help of the duke, according to the rumors.

Irene, the main culprit of all these events, was rumored to have turned into a white bird due to the shock of being confined to the annex. It might be a side effe
“I’m Buz Bogen-taf. It’s an honor to escort you, Miss.”

When she got on the carriage, she was lost in thought, so she didn’t greet.

The man with a big and shaggy beard was one of the elite knights assisting Roderick.

“Nice to meet you, Sir Buz. I’ll be in your care today.”

Buz, scratching his head with a smile at the beauty’s smile, chuckled innocently.

“Where would you like to go?”

“Well, what’s the most famous place around here?”

“If you haven’t decided on a specific place, may I make a recommendation?”

“Of course.”

With her permission, Buz smiled brightly. Should we say he looked like an excited bear? He was a knight who made everyone feel good.

The place Buz took her to was a bustling tavern even in the early hours.

“Hey there! I’m here!”

Banging – from the entrance, everyone’s atten
Her pink eyes were sparkling with interest. It was because even though she was born in this world, she had rarely experienced the outside. It had been a long time since she visited such a cheerful tavern.

“Oh my.”

The landlady, who placed the glass on the table and turned around, approached her with a sigh.

“Miss, this is my wife, Carol Bogen-taf. Carol, this is…”

“I missed you! Miss!”

Before introducing Diana, Carol warmly smiled and firmly shook Diana’s hand.

“Dear, dear. She’s Lady Diana of the Duchy.”

The only married man among the elite knights, Buz Bogen-taf, sweated nervously at his wife’s rudeness before the introduction was even complete.
