Wondering what was going on, I immediately turned around, and Charlotte’s wide-open eyes and gaze met mine.
“Charlotte? Isn’t your vacation supposed to last one more day?”
Isn’t it? Wasn’t today the day to return?
Since there was no light pouring from the sky, I couldn’t see the expression. Nevertheless, despite that, I could clearly tell that Charlotte was afraid of something.
“No, no! Duck down, Your Majesty!”
“Charlotte, wait…!”
“Aaaah!”
Charlotte, who had run up close, flailed her arms and then collapsed.
In an instant, a silver line flickered in the air.
It might have been too quick for anyone to notice, but it was undoubtedly aimed at me.
“……!!!”
However… it was blocked.
As if Charlotte knew in advance, she rushed in front of me, intercepting the subtle attack with her body.
In a state of shock due to the completely unexpected situation, I stood rooted to the spot.
Thud.
Seeing Charlotte collapse like a doll with cut strings, strangely, my chest felt chilly.
“No.”
It was a word that burst out from my chest without passing through my mind.
“No. No. Oh, no.”
Staring blankly at Charlotte, my eyes were lowered.
Feeling an odd premonition, the down of my nape stood up. It felt like my chest was sinking at what might happen.
What I wished for was not like this.
I never wanted someone else… to wish for this to happen.
Staggering, I approached and kneeled in front of Charlotte, who had collapsed like a puppet.
As if trying to lift her eyelids by force, Charlotte trembled as if trying to breathe.
“Your… Majesty. Please…”
But Charlotte couldn’t even spit out her last words.
Even that seemed strenuous, and her pupils, which were exhaling hot breaths, froze in a moment that didn’t last a few seconds.
“Hee, heek! Huaaack!”
Trembling hands reached out and, after barely pulling Charlotte into my arms, Sucral, behind me, poked her buttocks and then turned around and ran away.
Judging by that alone, it didn’t seem like that guy killed Charlotte, but there were only three people here.
One has pathetically breathed her last, so if I’m not the culprit, the only one left is Sucral, right?
“Cough, cough!”
Chewing on my lips, I reached out and immediately released magic.
The magic that spread out like a rope tightened around Sucral’s neck, squeezing her into a fetal position right there.
Only then could I close Charlotte’s eyes that I hadn’t even noticed until now.
Unable to believe it, still denying.
“Isn’t it? Charlotte.”
Humans die easily.
There was little difference between a bird just born from its shell and a human.
Their lives are finite and short.
Easily hurt, easily sick.
It was a fact I already knew…….
“Leo!”
Merem pulled me tightly from behind. Thanks to that, I, who had fallen apart from Charlotte, twisted my body spasmodically.
“It’s dangerous. We have to go back to the empress’s palace right away. I didn’t even see where the attack came from. This isn’t just an ordinary assassin; this person…!”
“I’m fine. I’m fine, so pick up Charlotte. It’s an order.”
Don’t make me say it twice. Please.
With that meaning in my eyes, the strength left Merem’s arms that were holding me up, and I looked up at him.
I grabbed Charlotte’s hand, hanging on his back, and was startled by the icy coldness.
Ah, Charlotte’s hand had turned cold.
Feeling that, I felt like I was going crazy.
“I heard a scream and came to see… Your Majesty? What’s this….”
At that moment, the rustling of the grass was heard, and Therion appeared.
Clearly showing a bewildered expression, he flinched upon seeing Sucral collapsed on the ground.
“Therion, make sure Sucral doesn’t escape. Soldiers will be sent soon.”
“Yes, understood.”
Even while giving orders, I found it hard to breathe and had to take several deep breaths.
To save Charlotte, I wanted to call a doctor and even Helene, but I already knew.
Having witnessed countless deaths of humans, I couldn’t fail to recognize such clear signs of death.
However… even though I’ve seen so many deaths, why does this one death squeeze the life out of me like this?

It was thought that only the most powerful and talented noble lady in Feng Ling City would be worthy of such a brilliant young man. Who knew that this young gentleman would secretly admire the infamous Seventh Princess?
Short scene 1:
Feng Bai Su looked at the young man crying like a pear blossom in the rain before her, and couldn’t help but doubt her life.
Wasn’t the male lead described as a cold and otherworldly figure in the book?
Then who was this poor little thing crying with swollen red eyes and tear-stained face?
Short scene 2:
Wei Jing Mo stared intently at Feng Bai Su who was about to go out, wanting to say, “Be careful on the road.”
Before he could speak, Feng Bai Su suddenly bent down and bit his cheek.
Her peach blossom eyes were full of disdain: “Tsk! You’re so clingy!”
Wei Jing Mo: “…”
A talented fox spirit female lead with a flirtatious appearance but actually abstinent VS A cold-looking but actually naive and clingy little jealous male lead
