“You can visit again later.”
Benjamin softly touched Charlotte’s slender neck from behind.
“Did you wear the necklace today?”
Benjamin’s gaze touched the necklace string.
It was an iceberg necklace prepared while planning an engagement. Nonmelting ice, was it?
Transparent, yet its blue hue was different from other jewels.
“It’s cold though, so don’t wear it often.”
“What?”
“It’s not good if your body is cold……”
Benjamin’s fingertips touched the jewel. A cold chill permeated his fingers.
“It’s cold.”
“It will irritate the eyes of our enemies, you said.”
“I certainly did.”
Glamour deceives the eye. Beauty captures the gaze, and fosters malice.
Thanks to this, it solidly planted hatred.
“That aside.”
Benjamin stiffened his fingertips. His thick fingers seemed to hesitate, then he embraced Charlotte’s shoulder.
“Did I leave any of my companions out?”
“You said you wanted to walk alone for a while and left the escort behind, didn’t you?”
“No, not that.”
Benjamin tapped Charlotte’s shoulder.
“It seems a few are following.”
Benjamin cast his gaze afar.
“I thought they were stray dogs, but were they someone’s house dogs?”
“What?”
“How annoying.”
Benjamin sent Charlotte behind him.
“Wait here, Charlotte.”
Charlotte looked once more at the distant emptiness and pulled at her robe.
The twilight gradually faded. She followed Benjamin’s retreating figure with her eyes and asked,
“Is someone there?”
Benjamin stumbled over his words as he replied,
“I’ll have to look to see who’s there.”
His steps gradually slowed. A languid and listless walk came to a gradual halt.
‘Shall we say three? Or four?’ he mumbled, and then broke into a faint smile.
Benjamin looked at one spot and whispered,
“I’ve found them.”
His tone was low and monotonous. ‘So you were there?’ It seemed a little pleased.
Benjamin stretched out his arm, grabbing their necks as if plucking tree roots.
Three men were dressed in shabby clothes.
“Ugh! Ack!”
Benjamin rolled his eyes in confusion. What’s this? The clumsy guys tangled together and rolled around.
They curled up on the ground and then planted their faces in the dirt.
“They’re too shabby to be assassins.”
Benjamin held their necks, looking at them as if he was inspecting some strange creatures.
“You think I’ll just pass by without knowing, just because you’re planting your heads in the mud?”
“Your, Your Majesty! Please, wait a moment!”
Benjamin spoke with a gentle tone but expressed his murderous intent plainly.
‘Pretending to be gentle doesn’t make you gentle.’
Charlotte messed up her hair and moved forward.
“Who are they?…….”
How could I forget those faces?
“Did my father send you?”
They were servants of the Tyutega. Charlotte stepped forward indifferently.
“What are you doing here?”
“Mi, Miss? Please spare us. We, we just……!”
Charlotte stopped at their heads.
“Has my father gotten involved in another wrong place? Why are you lurking here?”
“We just came on the order of our master.”
“So why?”
“Th, that…… Nothing else.”
Charlotte rubbed her tired neck. She was tired. She was starting to get bored.
“You’ve got yourself tangled up in something useless, Charlotte.”
Benjamin Visennov categorically declared the Tuetyaga as ‘useless’ without hesitation.
“Put away the filthy thing for now.”
He let them go with a monotonous gesture.
“It’s hard to keep loitering like this.”
Being followed isn’t a pleasant thing, is it? Benjamin looked down at Charlotte with a languid tone.
“Shall we put it away for now?”
“What should we do?”
“I would have pushed it off the cliff as it is.”
His words trailed off.
“You are weak.”
“What?”
“Won’t it be hard for you, who are weak?”
Benjamin brushed off his hands, and wiped his wrists with a handkerchief.
“I left it because I felt like I had to be careful in front of you.”
“…….”
“I should have gotten rid of it secretly.”
I thought they were mere pickpockets, petty criminals.
It would have been fine to fold their bodies and throw them down the cliff. Benjamin hung his head and met their eyes.
“Charl.”
Benjamin looked back at Charlotte and asked,
“Do you know why they are doing this?”
There’s no reason for them to loiter here without reason. She had a guess, too.
“They seem to be waiting for me to be left alone.”
They were the servants sent by her father from Tuetyaga.
Charlotte had to be left alone for something to happen.
“They must have planned to either take me to Tuetyaga or leave me.”
Suddenly, a sense of emptiness surged.
What were the past years like? In her past life, Charlotte died alone.
Nobody sought her out, and she faced her end alone. The woman who cried out in her final moment died that way.
She died once and has just been banished. But now, they had come looking for Charlotte.
With such a worthless appearance.
Benjamin blinked in surprise.
“So, what are you going to do if you’re left alone?”
Benjamin crouched in front of their heads.
“Let’s see.”
“……”
“Take her and go.”
The monotonous words were abruptly cut off.
