“As the leader of the Black Knights, I came to take responsibility and assess the situation. Where does it hurt? Half of it is our fault, but even if we can’t do anything else, we’ll take responsibility for the medical expenses. I need to see your face.”

For many reasons, she was not the one to say such things.

And somehow, Lucia seemed angry.

In response to her reproachful voice, Lion became panicked, and he couldn’t help but make a bewildered gesture as if flames had suddenly ignited all over his body.

“……I, I’m contagious! Please, go back!”

How weak and feeble was the excuse of the weakest of the weak. He rambled nonsensical words in the rising fever. However, the more he spoke, the more serious Lucia’s expression became.

“If you don’t open it, I’ll break it.”

“T-that…!”

The door easily torn apart by her kick. And even though it was a kicked door, Lucia, who was surprised by the scene inside, lost words at the sight.

It was because of the pitiful appearance of the one who looked like a child hiding between the goods in the warehouse, as if a foolish person who, like a large dog, only hid his face and thought he was hiding everything.

The pitiful appearance, which looked completely unjust, seemed to have turned into that of a very young child, much like Nia. Seeing him like that, Lucia couldn’t help but let out a little laughter.

Then, he looked at her resentfully as if blaming her.

“Don’t laugh.”

“Why, is it not okay to laugh at this threat?”

Looking at his stern face, Lucia remembered his ridiculous threat.

“How can you say such things……. No, just……”

“?

While hesitating, Lion shook his head and mumbled.

“So, laughing would be awkward. Now I can’t even follow Lucia-nim…….”

Although it was he who turned his head away from Lucia, perhaps because of the rising fever or the mental strain so far. His golden eyes became moist.

Seeing his slightly embarrassed side, Lucia finally realized.

‘Right. Director Lion can only patrol at night.’

…In a completely different way. She understood that this pitiful face meant that he had heard the content of her saying she would stop the night patrol.

‘But the members will continue, won’t they? Well, it’s not very good for the director to keep begging for help from the members of other knight orders each time.’ Even if she didn’t understand the situation for a moment, thinking about it from a different perspective made her understand.
Turning her head from Lucia, but whether it was due to the rising fever or the accumulated mental distress.

His golden eyes became moist.

Although slightly embarrassed by his current appearance, Lucia finally realized.

‘Right. Director Lion can only handle complaints at night.’

…In a completely different way. She understood that this pitiful face meant that he had heard the content of her saying she would stop the night patrol.

‘But the members will continue, won’t they? Well, it’s not very good for the director to keep begging for help from the members of other knight orders each time.’ Even if she didn’t understand the situation for a moment, thinking about it from a different perspective made her understand.

He looked relatively comfortable since it was just between the directors.

‘Yeah, if he wants to help people to the extent of getting sick like this…….’

“Follow me.”

“……?”

At her declaration, Lion blinked his eyes.

Due to the wind, his deep eyelashes gathered together pitifully, like something wet in the rain.

“As much as you want. Instead, handle your identity…….”

Again, with her acceptance, Lion’s expression brightened like an awakened angel.

As if a large dog excited with joy and excitement wagged its tail, he rushed forward, causing Lucia, who was trying to avoid him, to fall backward.

Fortunately, she didn’t lie down awkwardly with her elbow, but still, considering that his face was right in front of her, this distance was something that should not happen in male-female relationships.

However, as if such things didn’t matter, he had already buried his face near her neck.

And a smile hung on her lips at the low body temperature that touched hers.

“……I will really follow you to the end.”

With his murmuring, Lion seemed to lose consciousness again.

At that moment, when his weight became significantly heavier, Lucia shouted.

“Come out now.”

“Yes! Yes!! Hahaha!”

Despite the fact that he said he would break the door of the mansion, he didn’t cheer, and the strange mansion owner who had been investigating this situation from the beginning was there.

So, she finally escaped from that hellish bragging-filled mansion.

But was it because of the refreshing run like a wild horse?

Lucia looked strangely refreshing.

Lucia arrived at her accommodation.

Putting the horse in the stable and opening the door of the accommodation, the sound of a baby’s crying was heard.

At this time, her lady Hubert should be here, so what happened? Hurrying into the accommodation,

“…I can do everything. Nia, you’re a fool……. Uu……”
