A eunuch ending!

Isn’t this the ultimate revenge against that player who dared to try building a harem with the body of my favorite character!

Having seemingly read the same sentence, Hezen’s face instantly turned pale.

[SYSTEM] Activating skill .

[SYSTEM] Your movement speed temporarily increases by +500%.

“Lu, Lulu! I suddenly have an urgent matter… I’ll, I’ll see you later!”

He immediately turned and fled.

He was so fast there wasn’t even time to grab him.

As I was blowing out a snort while watching his retreating figure,

Whistle.

A whistling sound came from beside me.

Consumed by the anger that surged the moment I saw Hezen’s face, I belatedly remembered the man’s presence.

“Interesting.”

The man looked at me and grinned.

‘Wh-what.’

Somehow it felt even more chilling when the person who had just tried to kill me smiled brightly.

Just as I was about to take a hesitant step back,

“Your Highness, Third Princess Luibel Azester.”

He suddenly approached me, using an honorific in a gentle voice.

‘What, you knew my name? You acted like that even knowing I’m a princess?’

While I was flustered, he reached out towards me.

For a moment I instinctively squeezed my eyes shut, when suddenly I felt a cool sensation on my nape.

Clink―

As I slightly opened my eyelids at the sensation of a metal chain sliding down, I saw the man’s face looking down at me from a distance close enough that our noses could touch.

“I’ll lend this to you, this pendant that Your Highness said you picked up.”

He fiddled with the pendant hanging around my neck as he tilted his head towards me.

“You’ll need it.”

Then he lowered his voice and added gently.

“To beat up that bastard from earlier.”

“What…?”

My eyes widened at the vulgar content that didn’t match his mild demeanor.

But he immediately removed his hand from the pendant and narrowed his eyes softly.

“In exchange, please allow me to stay by Your Highness’s side while I lend you this.”

Despite his extremely polite tone, a very persistent and sharp gaze stared at me.

A faint hint of killing intent lingered in those flashing eyes.

Noticing that, I suddenly felt goosebumps.

Wait, is he saying he’ll stay by my side looking for a chance to kill me?

“…What do you mean by staying by my side?”

I swallowed hard and asked, and he answered with his lips curled up.

“Exactly as I said. I wish to serve Your Highness from the closest position while staying in the Azester Empire.”

Still nothing was visible above his head.

Suppressing my timidly fluttering heart, I raised my voice and asked.

“Isn’t it polite to introduce yourself first?”

“Ah.”

He let out a short exclamation as if he had just realized.

Then he slowly detached himself from me and bent one knee towards me.

“Prince of Luenhart, Anselot.”

The man who knelt on one knee before me introduced himself, looking straight at me.

“My name is Anselot, Your Highness.”

Cool lips descended on the back of my hand.

‘Prince Anselot of Luenhart…?’

And at the same time, I remembered.

‘Did you hear? They say Luenhart Kingdom sent that crazy murderer prince who has a hobby of killing people as an envoy this time.’

The voice of some young lady gossiping at Elizabeth’s tea party recently.

Even after returning to my room, that chilling sensation of his lips touching the back of my hand wouldn’t go away.

“Prince of Luenhart, Anselot…”

I quietly murmured that name.

Envoys from all over the continent were flocking in for my mother’s upcoming birthday celebration.

And the neighboring Luenhart Kingdom had also sent an envoy.

Namely, the murderous psycho prince who has a hobby of killing people!

I vigorously rubbed the back of my hand while mulling over the conversation I just had with him.

‘W-why did he suddenly say he wants to serve me…?’

‘Hmm. Is a reason necessary?’

He tilted his head at my question, then soon answered with a grin.

‘Let’s say it was love at first sight.’

‘Liar! You tried to kill me at first sight!’

‘That’s just your imagination.’

He blatantly lied without even blinking an eye.

‘Don’t doubt my love. It hurts when you keep doubting.’

‘What nonsense…’

‘―Like my heart is being torn apart.’

…What did you say? You’re going to tear me apart?

For a moment, I lost my words and stared at him with a frightened face.

Despite his gently curved eyes, the flashing glint in them was quite ominous.

As if he would really tear me apart.

‘They say he’ll smile while cutting off someone’s head if things go slightly wrong…’

‘But they say that prince’s appearance is hard to forget once you see it…’

‘Despite his handsome looks, the reason he’s still unmarried at this age is…’

‘They say all the women who got engaged to the prince died mysterious deaths. And the suspect is supposedly that murderous prince himself…’

The young ladies gathered at each table at the tea party were all exchanging stories about him.

Thanks to them, I learned that Prince Anselot was called ‘Murderous Psycho’, or ‘Salto’ for short, in his home country.

The more I recalled the ladies’ conversations, the more my heart sank.

He wasn’t just a bastard, he was Salto.

Salto tried to kill me.

And I fearlessly talked back to Salto.

I almost died even before my remaining short lifespan was up.

‘If it weren’t for this, I would have really died right there.’

I swallowed hard and gently grasped the pendant around my neck, examining it.

When Salto tried to kill me, the red light that flowed from this necklace blocked his attack.

The necklace was just as suspicious as the Prince of Luenhart, but I needed this necklace right now.

Because this pendant showed me the player’s system window.

‘I need to know what Hezen is up to, so I’ll just keep it until I cleanly break off the engagement.’

Once the engagement is broken off, I’ll throw away this suspicious pendant without any regrets.

‘But why was there nothing above Salto’s head?’

I frowned as I recalled the situation at that time.

‘But Hezen clearly at that moment…’

Although my eyes were blinded by intense anger the moment I saw Hezen’s face, I definitely saw it in the midst of that.

Hezen glaring above Salto’s head.

‘There’s no doubt Hezen could see the letters.’

But why couldn’t I see anything?

Moreover, he even asked while staring straight at Hezen’s system window, “Hey, can you see that?”

He could see Hezen’s system window just like me. Without this pendant, that is.

He can’t be a player…

Is he a possessed person like me?

Or some special existence I don’t know about?

‘There’s something going on.’

First Hezen, and now this suspicious murderous prince.

My head ached from the storm that had barged into my peaceful life.

“Sigh.”

“Y-Your, Your Highness.”

As I shook my head and let out a sigh, Seira fidgeted nervously while watching me.

“A-are you alright? Did, did Hezen perhaps go to you and make you uncomfortable…”

I stared blankly at Seira.

Affection: 999

“You didn’t tell Hezen my location, did you?”

“Wh-wh-wh-what?”

As if hit right on target, Seira stammered with a noticeably pale face.

“Since when?”

At the question that seemed to know everything, Seira shook her eyes vigorously before bowing her head deeply and exclaiming.

“I-I’m sorry!”

Tears welled up in her eyes as she apologized outright.

“A-actually… since 3 years ago…”

“What? 3 years ago?”

“To, to be precise, since the spring of 3 years ago…”

I met Hezen at the martial arts competition in the fall 3 years ago.

So spring 3 years ago was much earlier than when I met Hezen.

“I-I also told Your Highness about Hezen because he asked me to help him become friends with Your Highness…”

“…”

Come to think of it, Seira played a big role in me building a friendship with Hezen and starting a relationship.

Seira always dropped good stories about Hezen to me, and actively helped us get closer.

“B-but as soon as Hezen got engaged to Your Highness, I decided to give up those feelings right away!”

“…”

“It’s true, please believe me! I just haven’t completely given up yet, which is why I made a mistake like today…”

After silently listening to Seira’s story, I let out a deep sigh.

“Alright, Seira. What sin do you have? Hezen is the bad guy.”

“Y-Your Highness?”

“It’s okay, Seira. I’ll make sure to save you from that bastard’s clutches.”

“Are… are you not angry…?”

Seira asked in bewilderment.

I nodded.

It would be a lie to say I didn’t feel betrayed by Seira, but I was in the same situation of having been played by that bastard.

‘Come to think of it, Seira met Hezen before me. And Seira liked Hezen, but Hezen just used Seira like a tool.’

I felt that Seira, whose feelings were unrequited and who was only used, was just as pitiful as me.

It was at this moment.

The number above Seira’s head blurred, then flashed and changed.

3rd Princess’s maid
Affection: 913

‘Huh…?’

For a moment, I doubted my eyes.

‘Affection can drop like this too?’

Perhaps because I stimulated Seira’s guilt.

Hezen wasn’t here, and he didn’t do anything, but Seira’s affection dropped.

Suddenly my eyes lit up.

Just like when I discovered Hezen’s eunuch ending route.

“Kuk…”

“Your Highness? Are you in pain somewhere…?”

Seira was startled by the sound that escaped through my teeth and checked my condition.

“Kukukuk…”

But I wasn’t groaning in pain.

I was bursting out in laughter that I couldn’t hold back because I was too happy.

Perhaps breaking off the engagement with Hezen could be accomplished much more easily and quickly.

‘I’ll destroy that damn harem he built!’

From today, I have a new goal.

To shatter the affection of the characters Hezen has conquered, and to shake out his manhood like popcorn kernels and log him out forever!

Seira took a step back, startled by me snorting like a madwoman and twitching the corners of my mouth.

“I-I’m sorry, Your Highness!”

Then she burst into tears and ran out.

Seeing Seira’s affection steadily decreasing even in the midst of this, I laughed out loud.

“Welcome to Hell Mode!! Kahahahahahaha!!!”

A week has passed since then.

Today was the day of the ball held for guests from other countries.

Starting tonight until the day of my mother’s birthday, balls were scheduled to be held every night for the next week.

And my remaining lifespan…

Azester Empire’s 3rd Princess
Attribute: Lover, Terminal (Remaining lifespan: 6 days 06 hours 47 minutes)

Just 6 days, 6 hours, and 47 minutes.

Considering the current time is 5:13 PM, I will die exactly at midnight on the day of my mother’s birthday ball.

‘And as I die, the awakening event will begin, I suppose.’

So I was planning to destroy everything Hezen had built up so far before my mother’s birthday celebration begins.

The ball to be held tonight will be the starting point for that.
