“No, no!”

I vigorously shook my head and exclaimed.

“Not?”

“Yes, not.”

“…”

Ile still looked confused and unable to understand.

‘I wonder if Ile, who just entered human society, can understand what a crime is…’

I gazed down at Ile and swallowed hard.

“Lu, would you be upset if I got rid of Anselot?”

“Yes, I would be!”

“…”

“Not just Anselot, but anyone! You absolutely can’t do that!”

“Hmm. Lu doesn’t like it.”

Ile nodded, seemingly understanding, albeit ambiguously.

“If Lu doesn’t like it, Ile doesn’t like it either.”

“…”

“So, Ile won’t get rid of anyone.”

Finally reaching the right conclusion, I sighed in relief.

Well, at least peace was preserved.

Both Anselot and Ile were formidable in their own right.

If they clashed, one of them was bound to be seriously hurt.

No, not them, but those around them would be blown away.

For instance, poor Luibel Ajester…

“Your Highness.”

A tidy knock on the door interrupted my thoughts.

As I opened the door, Klaus entered.

“Sir Klaus? What’s the matter?”

“If Prince Anselot causes any discomfort to Your Highness, please command me.”

Klaus spoke with a very serious face.

His determined attitude surprised me, and I blurted out without thinking.

“You can’t get rid of Anselot! Murder is a crime!”

“Your Highness…?”

Klaus, puzzled, asked.

“I meant I’d make sure he can’t come near you.”

“Ah… I misunderstood.”

I felt embarrassed, remembering the conversation I had just had with Ile.

“Thank you, Sir Klaus.”

I was somewhat concerned that my feelings of resentment toward Anselot had been so apparent.

I didn’t want others to worry unnecessarily because of my feelings…

‘Today only. I’m allowed to act according to my feelings for one day.’

After rationalizing to myself, I was able to let go of my discomfort.

“This is serious.”

Meanwhile, Anselot, left alone in the dining hall, laughed bitterly as he watched the spot where Luibel had left.

“Our princess seems to be upset.”

He thought of Luibel’s forced smile yesterday, which dampened his mood as well.

‘Anselot, after this journey…’

‘After defeating Helheim and completing the scenario, will you still be by my side?’

His hesitation yesterday was because…

At the moment she asked that question, he found himself pondering unexpectedly.

He knew better than anyone that he couldn’t stay by her side after the journey.

‘Why couldn’t I answer right away?’

Anselot couldn’t understand himself.

Just saying no would have been enough. Why did he hesitate?

And why, at that moment, was he…

More concerned about hurting her.

The image of Luibel’s hurt face stuck in his heart like a thorn.

It hurt and tickled, but he couldn’t pluck it out.

After taking a break, Anselot requested a servant to help him dress.

The hands of the servants combing his hair were shaking.

‘Do they have Parkinson’s?’

Just when he was seriously worried about the servant’s shaking hands…

“Ah!”

The servant, shaking too much, eventually made a mistake.

“I’ve committed a grave offense!”

“It’s not that serious…”

The mistake was just dropping the comb.

He could just pick it up and continue, or bring a new one if it was a big deal.

‘Seira wouldn’t have been so scared over such a small mistake…’

After finishing dressing, Anselot went out for a walk around the palace.

It was a stroll for some change of mood.

He left Piya, Ile, and Klaus behind, starting his solo palace tour.
As faithful to the original as possible, here is the verbatim English translation of the Korean paragraph:

In the kingdom known as the realm of love and passion, Luwenhart, the royal palace interior was also incredibly splendid and sophisticated.

It was a different feeling from the majestic and devout Azester Imperial Palace.

‘I think I might prefer this style a bit more.’

It was when I was touring the palace with a bit of joy.

While I was wandering around, I felt a subtle sense of unease.

“This is strange…….”

I muttered softly and looked around.

Then, those who met my gaze flinched and avoided my eyes.

After the same thing happened more than five times, I was sure this was no coincidence.

“What’s this?”

I crossed my arms and was lost in thought, then I opened my inventory and immediately found what I needed.

Item

A miraculous translator that reads the inner thoughts of others. It can only be used on those with a lower level than the user.

It was the that I had bought from the Brillanta Dark Guild before.

After using the , I selected ‘everyone’ as the target.

Then, the inner thoughts of the people around me could be heard.

‘That person must be Saltto’s lover.’

‘I better be careful not to get too close and offend Saltto, or I might be wiped out.’

‘Seeing that she’s Saltto’s lover, this woman must have a unique personality too.’

Damn…….
