Youre a really unique person.

He muttered, walking toward the exit.

A few months after becoming the Housekeeper, I had never seen the Duke of Diamond speak.

I talked to him personally last time, but he was silent.

Whats wrong with him all of a sudden?

Not only that he suddenly appears from behind like a ghost, he even persistently takes the Duke of Ale Club when we still talk together.

Im sure Rayl said, hes a great guy.

To be honest, I didnt like the fact that the Duke of Diamond blocked me from the Duke of Ale Club.

It may sound childish, but I felt like I was being bullied.

What, I thought he didnt hate me because he agreed to my promotion becoming a Housekeeper.

Now looking at it, I thought that the reason the Duke didnt answer even though I was talking at that time might have been because he didnt like me.

He told me not to come and he only called for the Duke of Ale Club. What is he thinking?

I thought he was just like the Duke of Ace, Trump, but I wasnt sure.

I dont know. Lets go back to the Academy.

I felt very upset.

Along with the monster problem, I was not comfortable with the appearance of the Duke of Diamond, who had a reluctant atmosphere.

I shouldnt blame him for his appearance, but.

But the movement of the Duke of Diamonds was so strange just now.

It felt like a creaky spherical joint doll.

Lets forget it for now.

I was busy trying to shake off the uncomfortable feeling.

It was when I entered the hallway leading around the corner to the exit.

Long time no see.

I got goosebumps when a voice that I couldnt forget stuck in my ear.

A haughty voice that seems to be overwhelming and slowly tightening the breathing of the listener.

How can I forget that voice?

How are you?

A familiar red-haired man stood in the way.

Somehow the gold eye, which seemed to be brighter than usual, sparkled.

As soon as our eyes met, I turned my steps reflexively.

You seem to be quiet these days. Why are you here all of a sudden?

But as soon as I looked back, a man in colourful clothes with gold decorations and red silk blocked me.

To pretend you didnt see me and run away? Thats not possible.

I immediately stepped back to see Iker smiling with his gold eyes squinted and his lips rolled up.

You keep trying to keep your distance from me. Do you hate me that much?

Iker asked, with his arms crossed, licking his red lips with his tongue.

I see the Crown Prince.

Didnt I talk about it back then? We dont need to be polite.

I answered him in a dry voice, staring coldly at him.

How can a Duke be able to get along with His Majesty the Crown Prince in transgression?

Really? So you cant get along with the Crown Prince, but you can be with the little prince? Your logic is very strange.

I frowned on my own.

I didnt like his attitude of mentioning Cassius on this occasion.

The attitude of referring to him as the little prince and subtly shaming him down.

I dont know why you care so much about him.

I looked straight at Iker, who said so and answered.

Your Grace, what is it that you came to see me for?

Youre not going to answer me?

If you tell me what you want, Ill answer.

Iker raised one eyebrow and rolled his sparkling golden eyes.

His gaze, which seemed to sweep from head to toe, became cool.

Somehow the look seemed like a snake trying to find its opponents weakness.

Yes, its like you to say that.

I looked at Iker, who sighed as if there was nothing he could do.

Its weird.

Ikers presence in the Noble State Field meant the meeting was over.

The one who was standing at the exit should have been Cassius, not Iker.

Saying he was anxious that Iker and I might run into each other, he said he would be waiting at the exit as soon as the meeting was over.

Theres no way Cassius would be late.

He would come to the meeting place and wait as soon as the meeting was over.

If its really urgent, he would use teleport magic.

However, when I looked around, I could not see his black hair.

Youre thinking about running away. Im really upset about this.

You overinterpret it. I have no intention of running away.

I looked straight at his golden eyes and said firmly.

Theres no reason to run, and thats not possible.

Then why do you keep making a contemplative expression? I think I can hear your head spinning right now.

Thats because your Highness doesnt tell me whats going on and keeps saying mysterious things.

In my words, Iker took a step forward.

I instinctively clenched my fist.

I almost used flame magic.

But I didnt back down.

I want to be friends with you.

A low voice reverberated in the hall.

It was a line that seemed favourable to the story, but his voice was not.

Like a wolf signalling that he would attack soon, his voice had a strange sense of threat.

Thats why Im here today, and you dont know that.

The sound of his footsteps echoed.

I could see the burning red hair coming closer and closer.

I think you keep drawing a line.

Im not drawing a line. Im just trying not to cross the line.

Lowering his upper body, Iker came closer and closer.

Why do you keep the line?

I looked up to his golden eyes and answered calmly.

Because I have to.

His golden eyes were folded thin. As if he had found something interesting

I like that about you.

I was surprised by his sudden stretch of hand but pretended to be calm on purpose.

Iker looked at me without a bud and touched my purple hair with his right hand.

But I want to let you know that there is a different world.

Iker looked satisfactorily at the purple hair tarp in his hand. With a mean and faint smile around ones lips

A different world, what do you mean?

I was reflected in the gold eyes glistening with madness.

Iker smiled happily and whispered.

I can make a world where you dont have to keep the line.

Then he bowed his head and kissed the flowing purple hair.

At that time, I felt something was strange.

The moment I saw Ikers smile, which looked truly happy, I was appalled.

Bloody smell.

An unpleasant smell of iron was coming from Iker.

If you and I are together.

I grabbed my hair and pulled it out of his hand and backed away.

Dangerous.

Thats when I noticed.

That Iker is hiding something.

Yerine, dont avoid it.

The golden eyes, which gave off a different look than usual, were suspicious.

What the hell did he do?

I wont hurt you.

Ill ask you one last time. Why are you here?

Thats mean, really.

Iker didnt bat an eye.

With a relaxed attitude, I rolled my fists.

I was ready to use magic at any time.

Im sure. Hes not here to chat as usual.

I couldnt slow down my guard.

It would have been better if he had brought his own men or attendants, but he could not have known anything about coming alone without anyone accompanying him with weapons.

Ive told you before. Theres only one thing I want.

Are you talking about working for your Highness?

Yeah. Its a little different now, but. In short, I want you to be on my side.

I frowned and responded.

Didnt I tell you again and again? I told you I have no intention of becoming your direct royal wizard.

His gold eyes resplendent glowed again. It was the eyes of a fierce beast who wanted to tear down the prey in front of him.

its your last chance.

Iker growled in a low voice.

If you want to be on my side, I promise you anything. Honour, power, money, even the position you want so much.

I didnt answer and looked at him quietly.

Last chance, what does he mean?

Why arent you answering? Is this not enough?

It was a monotonous voice without a high tone, but I could feel the anger hidden by it.

The Empress, I promise you the Empresss seat. And as soon as you say youll be with me, itll all be yours right away.

.

Silence fell on the corridor for a while.

The eyes met with the gold eyes.

I knew he wouldnt step down.

And he too seemed to know that I would.

Yerine Spade. Come with me.

Iker reached out his hand with a gentle expression.

He began to walk slowly towards me, standing tall, motionless.

And it was the moment when his hand was back to my hair.

Kwanggg.

What?

A wall rose from the ground and blocked Ikers hand to reach me.

You dare.

Flame magic was used, on one hand, air magic on the other, and combat readiness on the other.

I refuse.

Ikers face was distorted at a single stroke.

It would be much faster to be a wizard under the current Emperor than to wait until you become an emperor.

How dare you!

In the middle, I started to recognize him by calling me you

No, actually, Ive known for a long time.

That Iker is trying to use me for something bad.

Yes, thats your answer?

Thats right.

I flew in with air magic and sought a place to escape.

I dont need the position of the immature Emperors wife, who doesnt listen to the other persons story.

And I looked down at Iker, who was looking at me like he was going to kill me, with a blue flame on my right hand

Thats enough of the other one, tell me. What happened to Cassius?

Iker squinted and murmured at me.

Youll regret it.

It was what Iker had been saying since he first met me.

The angry golden eyes pointed at me.

Yerine Spade.

At the same time, a familiar figure flew from the other side.

A body that resembles a cloak that swayed like a man.

Dozens of bizarre arms and legs.

It was the monster.

Attack.

At Ikers words, the monster approached incredibly fast and opened its mouth like a cave.

I can do this.

I repeated myself and flew a blue flame.
