Helheim’s eyes were embedded with red gems. Perhaps due to the intricate and detailed nature of the carving.

Even though it was a terrifying light dragon that I had to defeat, I couldn’t help but think it was beautiful.

So, as I stared as if enchanted, Anselot spoke.

“Isn’t it beautiful?”

Reading my thoughts as if to respond, Anselot asked.

“Yeah.”

I nodded my head.

“This beautiful being has to be defeated as a villain. It’s pitiful.”

Upon hearing this, Anselot smiled proudly.

“Why are you so proud?”
“I hope it pleased the princess.”

“Well… it was embarrassing, but because it’s beautiful.”

“So, has the frustration eased a bit now?”

“W-Who said anything about frustration?”

I vehemently denied and jumped up.

Of course, I had displayed my frustration quite noticeably, enough for Klaus, who lacks tact, Illay, who is as young as his mental age, and even Piya, who isn’t even human, to notice.

“That’s right. The princess has never shown frustration.”

Anselot readily played along with me.

That made my heart ticklish for no reason.

I stared intently at the figurine.

My face reflected in the red gem of the figurine was unusually flushed.

Meanwhile, Maria, left alone on the terrace, concealed the evil trace of her face that had been smiling kindly until a while ago.

Maria Blair.

She originally came from a common background but became a saint of the capital temple by manifesting her divine power.

Because of her humble origins, there were noble girls who ignored her, but Maria was not the type to meekly endure such treatment.

However, a little while ago, she was affected by pretense while being in the same place as Louivel.

Maria stared at the spot where Louivel and Anselot had disappeared with uneasy eyes.

When she accidentally encountered Louivel on the street a while ago, Maria felt a strong sense of destiny.

No doubt! That person is the fate pointed out to me by the goddess of love, Amor!
He was a noble, beautiful, and exquisite person, incomparable to the numerous men who had courted her until now.

It was not difficult to learn her name; she was called Louivel.

After she and her party left, rumors spread throughout the streets that the Prince of Sarto had immediately returned.

Inevitably, Louivel’s name was intertwined with the rumors about the Prince of Sarto.

Just like the distant rumors described, she was truly beautiful, courageous, and kind.

How did such a person fall in love with Sarto?

She knew that the group of noble young ladies would be troublesome, but the reason she had attended the party today was solely the expectation of encountering Louivel again.

However, Prince Anselot interfered with Louivel’s fateful encounter.

The thought that the reputation of the already noble Louivel had been tarnished because of Sarto did not sit well with her.

Under such circumstances, seeing Prince Anselot next to Louivel didn’t seem fitting.

“We need to separate Prince Anselot. Because of Sarto, our Louivel’s reputation is being tarnished together.”

Hehehe.

A sinister laughter flowed from Maria’s lips.

“Wait, Louivel. Maria will rescue you from Sarto’s clutches.”

After quietly storing the statue that Anselot had given her in the inventory, he returned to the party venue along with it.
“Oh, Anselot. It’s about Prince Arno. He is originally one of the key figures in this scenario….”

Just as I was about to explain Arno to Anselot, Crown Prince Enzer discovered us and approached.

“Nice to see you again, Princess Louivel.”

Despite hearing harsh words from Anselot just a day ago, he confidently approached again, which was admirable.

Anselot seemed to share the same sentiment and poured out unpleasant remarks in a calm voice.

“Didn’t I tell you to clean up your filthy mouth and eyes?”

“I heard a familiar name, and I was unintentionally drawn this way, Your Highness.”

However, Enzer didn’t step back and smiled at me.

“I heard Prince Arno’s name. Is that correct?”

“Yeah. I was actually looking for Arno. Where is Prince Arno now?”

“Prince Arno is…”

Enzer glanced at Anselot and spoke slowly.

“A few years ago, Prince Arno met his fate at the hands of Prince Anselot here.”

“What?”

I was shocked and opened my mouth wide.

The next part of the story was supposed to be a duel between Prince Arno and me, but Sarto twisted the original work!

‘Then the next quest…!’

In the midst of confusion, the system notification sounded.
