As soon as I opened the door, I was taken aback and let out a loud scream. Standing before me was a strange man who had suddenly appeared.

“Oh, you must have been surprised. I’m sorry.”

My voice turned the stranger’s head towards me.

Even though he looked young, his face was etched various worries like an 80-year-old old man.

“Who are you?”

“Adrian Schultz, secretary and chief engineer of the Deputy Head.”

Adrian Schultz?

The Deputy head in the original……?

Did Vin get push out a senior engineer just because he became a vice-president.

Is it some kind of cruel twist of fate?

How can you be the secretary of the person who pushed you out?

“The Deputy head ordered the complete replacement of the Flower-dong facility……. I was hanging tiles from Iron dong in your room.”

“Yes……? It’s good to replace the facility, but why are you so…….”

“It’s not me. “I’m just doing it because my boss tells me to.”

In the original, he appeared as a bright young man with blond hair and fresh leaves, but this person in front of me now seemed to be only a person who was tired of society.

Vin, who would have been only the chief engineer in the original, became the Deputy head because of his achievements in the war, and the reason why he participated in the war was to find me.

In other words, it can be said that it is because of me that Lord Schultz has become like this.

It was natural to feel guilty.

Therefore, even though the room was suddenly taken away, I could not express a negative reaction to the following words.

“It will be troublesome, but I think you will have no choice but to stay somewhere else for a while. It’s more complicated than I thought, so I don’t think it’ll be done in a day.”

“Uh……you mean to stay in another room in the flower-dong?”

“No. I can’t because I’m also replacing the heating system here. I think we should stay in a completely different building. How about the Commander’s quarters.”

“The commander?”

Rapel Isdon and I are the only females here in the Imperial Knights.

Therefore, the commander must be a man, too…….

No matter how many knights they are, I can’t stay in the same space with a man! My face darkened with disapproval.

Then Sir Schultz suddenly laughed loudly.

“Ha ha! Don’t you know who the commander is?”

“What? I don’t know……. I’ve never been introduced separately.”

“Didn’t you hear it yourself? Your brother, the one who joined the Imperial Knights, is the operational commander,”

……I wonder how the sandman became a knight.

It was a place you grabbed with your skills, not your lineage.

Even so, he was raised to the position of commander.

I thought he just won the Crown Prince’s favor and got a position that wasn’t low…….

What the hell did you do, man?

“What did you do and how did you become a commander?”

I stormed into Sith’s room, guided by Lord Schultz, and asked at once.

Sith, who was writing something at the desk, was surprised and hardened for a moment.

At that moment, the wind came in through the door I had burst open and tore through Sith’s blue hair.

Then, reaching his desk, the scattered papers fluttered helplessly.

Among the papers that fell beneath the desk, this time there was one with the face of the crown prince.

I picked up the paper with a firm face and asked.

“What, you. Have you transferred to the Crown Prince now?”

“……What? You scared me.”

Sith, who turned around, was only surprised and hardened, and did not hide the painting in a hurry like before.

He just calmly rose up and picked up the fallen paper as if he didn’t care if he was caught.

“Why did you come all of a sudden?”

He put the paper back on the desk and asked, sitting back.

I took my eyes off the paper and looked at the Sith.

“I need a place to stay. I can’t stay in the flower-dong because it’s under construction. You said you were absolutely on my side. so I can stay, right?”

“I don’t mind, but……. What kind of construction?”

“I heard they’re ripping off the facilities in Iron Dong and moving them to Flower Dong,”

“What? That’s absurd.”

“It’s by Sir Adrian Schultz…….”

“Why would a normal person do such a crazy thing…….”

“I heard it’s an order from the vice president.”

“Oh, as expected, it was done by a crazy person.”

Perhaps because they had been on the same battlefield for seven years, Sith seemed very familiar to Vin, who had changed unlike me.

“Anyway, will you let me stay?”

“Yes. Stay here until the construction is over. But it’s fascinating.”

“What?”

“You’re thinking I might not be Sith Heather. Then we may not be siblings, and we even grew up in the same house, so we didn’t share the same room, but you’re asking if you can stay.”

That’s true. Why didn’t you have any resistance to being in the same space with someone else?

But is it because the body is connected by the same blood……? “I don’t know. It’s strange to imagine being with you, but it’s not strangely bad.”

“What strange feeling is that?”

“I don’t know either. It’s weird.”

“Stop saying weird things, go over there and organize your luggage.”

Perhaps the rank of Commander was quite high, but there were two rooms and beds designed to resemble a single room.

What a waste of space! Why are you giving only one person enough room for two people.

While I organized luggage, Sith began to draw again.

When I saw Vin’s painting seven years ago, I remember that he hated it and crumpled it up, so I didn’t pretend to know it on purpose, but honestly, I’m dying of curiosity.

Why does Sith paint pictures of Vin and the Crown Prince.

Don’t tell me he really transferred loyalty to the Crown Prince.

“What are you doing? You’ve been like a puppy that needs to go.”

I was snooping around without realizing it out of curiosity, and Sith asked what was bothering me.

Even at that moment, Sith’s pen was moving without stopping.

I felt a little hope and wished to a different reaction than from the past.

“No, it’s just… I’m curious..”

“What?”

“This time…… Your Highness the Crown Prince.”

“Oh, that’s because I like His Majesty the Crown Prince.”

“I see. Of course……. No, wait, what?!”

You really like the crown prince?

You’re still a sub-ball! What kind of crazy nonsense is this?

Undeterred by my surprise, Sith continued.

“Your Highness the Prince and….”

Sith took out a note from his bookcase. The note contained depictions of the Crown Prince and Vin, as well as all the main characters from <The Crown Prince’s Lover>, including Irrilin Heather.

“I like everyone. I feel strange when I see them face to face.”

“Strange? Why?”

“…….”

I guess it’s because it’s something that can reveal his identity again because he didn’t answer.

It’s obvious.

But what’s not at all obvious what the hell’s going on…….

“Oh, yes. Let’s not talk. Let’s ask you this question, you didn’t want to be caught seven years ago, but why are you pretending like it doesn’t matter now?”

“Because it doesn’t really matter.”

“That’s your answer? I want to know why,”

“I found out who you are.”

“Who am I you think I am? And how did you find out?”

“…….”

“Nonsense. It was a mistake to even ask. Forget it! I’m going to sleep,”

I declared discontented, and tried to go towards my bedroom.

But suddenly, there was a pounding sound at the door.

Sith and I looked at each other at the same time.

“Who is it?”

“It’s obvious. Who would else come at this hour…….”

As if familiar, Sith instantly inserted the paintings scattered on the desk into his notebook and opened the door.

The visitor walked in.

The Crown Prince, the sole heir of the Abert Empire’s imperial family, had been bestowed with everything from birth—power, status, and wealth.

However, there was one thing he yearned for the most, something he had never possessed: love.

His mother had perished shortly after his birth, and his father had cast him aside like a repugnant burden.

The noble families that raised him were too preoccupied with their own status to care for the Crown Prince.

It was a life devoid of love from anyone.

But the Crown Prince never pleaded for love.

He didn’t even want it to be something he couldn’t genuinely feel in the first place.

No feelings, no emotions. Darkness was his everything.

Until he met Vin.

In an instant, in the world of the crown prince devoid of light, Vin became his fire, water, air, and wood.

For the first time, the Crown Prince had someone who desired his love.

He had given everything he had to win over Vienna, and the Crown Prince believed that this happiness would last forever.

If it weren’t for Irillin Heather…

“Irillin Heather…….”

‘I started to want Irillin to like me again.’ ‘Where my desires and instincts lead me , there are no constraints. The only thing that’s there is…….’

The memories of abandonment flooded my mind, and in frustration, the Crown Prince bit down on a wine glass.

Today, even the typically flavored wine tasted bitter, mixing with the blood that seeped from my wounded lips.

“What should I do…….”

How can I get rid of the anguish that tried to tear my heart apart.

What else should I do…….

I can’t live in an empty space.

No matter how much I drank, the reason that wouldn’t stop rolled in my head.

‘Where my desires and instincts are directed, there is no charge. The only thing that’s there is…….’

“She’s the only one there?”

Then, shouldn’t I get rid of her?
