Ep 19.

Trash into the trash can.

That was the best bullshit Arne has ever heard in her life.

(“Come to the Kingdom of Clement. Then I’ll let you live.”)

One day when I was 17.

When I was attacked and surrounded on the battlefield. The general of the enemy greedily smiled at Arne’s face and suggested.

(“Do you want to save others? Then get on your knees and beg me. If you cry, won’t my heart become weaker?”)

A word uttered by a general of the enemy who didn’t know his opponent was a swordmaster and didn’t know why a little girl was in a tough battlefield.

Even during the siege, all of his subordinates trembled, calling it insulting, but Arne, the person involved was fine.

What Arne thought was just………

‘You’re talking nonsense logically.’

The same was true of Arne’s idea of treating Crown Prince Edward now. The general of the enemy state was at least raised and was in trouble. But this crown prince of the Nirthern Empire…. While Arne was wondering what the hell to do, Edward picked up more and more random words.

“Isn’t that so? Other nobles do the same. Marriage is politics, love is infidelity. Marriage solves succession problems through politics, and true love is perfection through infidelity!”

“……….”

“I mean, sister-in-law.”

“………..”

“Real love is infidelity.”

“…………”

“Wouldn’t you love me for real?”

Congratulations, Crown Prince of the Northern Empire.

Now you’re number one in bullshit.

You broke the record held by a general of the enemy who doesn’t even remember his name today.

“I’m already in real love.”

……… Does that mean the real trash is starting now?

“Of course, if you don’t like a secret relationship, there’s another way. If you want Arne, you can divorce your brother and come to that place. I feel sorry for my brother, but love is more important. Oh, my fiance? For your sake, I can throw away my fiance.”

I felt sorry for this scum’s fiance. You don’t even know the face of your fiance. Way to go!

Be thank you for not being in the West, you scum. Arne had a strong urge to hang Edward on the railing right away.

She wanted to let him experience life as to why she was called the crazy dog of the empire, but she endured it.

‘You’ve done a great job….’

I couldn’t break my three-month fixed-term lady promise for such a trifle.

When Ahn remained silent, Edward, who was mistaken for the same mind as him, raised the mood.

“Oh, hey!”

Arne pointed somewhere, shoving Edward in the face as she approached.

“Excuse me?”

As soon as Edward looked back reflexively, Arne’s eyes shone. Edward’s body stretched out like a deflated balloon as he deftly hit the back of his neck.

Thud.

Arne, who looked down on Edward, made an impression. I wanted to make it happen for the peace of mankind and for the future of the North Korean Empire.

“I’m….. holding it in.”

Arne, who managed to recall that his opponent was the crown prince of the Northern Empire, somehow endured it.

Arne peered down at Edward and stepped on his thigh. A place that doesn’t show and hurts for a long time.

“At this rate, you won’t be able to go around and cheat for the time being.”

Arne smiled contentedly.

~~~

“That’s why there are no signs of kidnapping women, nor parents who tried to hide them, nor have anything in common with the victims, and I’m going crazy myself. I want to catch the criminal and clear it up before more victims come out…… Hey, Cassian. Can you hear me?”

Quaid, Count of Thessalaka, looked at Cassian, an old friend and colleague. Somehow Cassian was hardly focusing on the conversation.

‘What’s wrong with you?’

I’ve known Cassian for a long time since childhood, but I’ve never seen him like this. To Quaid, Cassian always smiles like a painting.

He’s always been a boring man, maybe because he’s perfect. By the way, Cassian can’t concentrate on the conversation?

‘What the hell is going on?’

Quaid stopped talking and watched Cassian do it. Cassian was on edge all over the terrace.

‘……Who’s in there?’

Someone came out of the terrace as if to answer his question. Lady with silver hair and red eyes.

It was quite a long distance, but I did recognize it.

‘Grand Duchess of Ternuegen.’

It was Cassian’s wife who greeted him earlier. When Arne came out of the terrace, Cassian suddenly spoke to Quaid.

“Quaid, we’ll talk about this later.”

“Huh? Huh?”

Cassian took the first step without waiting for Quaid’s answer. He swear, Quaid saw Cassian for the first time and left without this conversation.

He was completely preoccupied with something unusual. Quaid questioned Cassian’s appearance, which was he witnessed.

‘Why did he suddenly become a human being?’

Meanwhile, Arne who made all this change, came out of the terrace with a very satisfying smile at her handling.

And as soon as she came out, she was so glad to see Cassian that she went to him.

“Cassian!”

“….. Arne.”

Cassian’s gaze turned to Arne and slipped to the terrace door behind her. Incidentally, Cassian knew who was in that terrace.

‘Edward.’

Actually Cassian was watching everything from the beginning.

From Arne following Marchioness Giena who joined late and start the greeting prominent wives and young ladies in the social circle and to Edward approaching them in the gap left alone for a while.

The two disappeared to the terrace while Cassian wondered if he should stop Edward from approaching Arne with half-bloated eyes.

It was usually Cassian just to watch and enjoy what would happen, but somehow Arne and Edward hid in the terrace and it made hin nervous.

I know Arne isn’t the type to play with Edward, but I don’t know. Arne came out of the terrace just as he was controlling the urge to approach the terrace immediately.

‘I knew Edward had an impure heart towards Arne…….’

Why do you look so refreshed when you come back inside?

The pain of the strangely clear days disappeared, and Cassian seemed fascinated by the smile of Arne.

“Where have you been?”

“Oh, over there.”

Arne pointed to the terrace that just came out. Cassian’s eyes deepened with his unreserved attitude.

“Did you go alone?”

“Well……”

Arne shut up for a moment. Should I say this?

I ……. don’t care.

Cassian’s gaze at Arne who was worried was so keen. Then Arne opened her mouth seriously.

“That’s the truth.”

“Yes.”

“Don’t be surprised and listen.”

“Yes, I’ll listen calmly.

“Your cousin, I think he needs to check his brain in to the doctor.”

“………?”

Arne has expressed her opinion very seriously and decisively.

“True love will be achieved by infidelity. Oh, my God. Won’t a nation stand on the brink of survival when a man becomes emperor?”

The promised path to destruction.

Arne worried hard about the Northern Empire from her perspective, even if it was a country of other people.

I could fully understand why there was a controversy over the qualifications of the Crown Prince.

Cassian, who opened his eyes slightly wide, soon burst into a full smile. Suddenly, Cassian began to laugh, and all the nobles in the hall looked this way.

“Your Highness Cassian is smiling?!”

“I’ve never seen him in such a pleasant smile, His Highness.”

“What the hell is going on?!”

I’ve never seen a scene that would surprise people. At that time, Arne was surprised, too.

‘Is it funny that your country is about to go fall?’

Arne, who was embarrassed and still at first, also changed her mind after pondering it.

On second thought, it would be funny.

~~~

It was the Crown Prince’s loyal aide, Oji, who discovered Edward who fell.

“Your Highness, what the hell are you doing?”

I can’t believe you’re lying on the terrace and sleeping. Oji never thought he’d fainted.

They carried the crown prince to move him to the palace.

Some nobles, who had already witnessed the crown prince go to the terrace with Arne, chatted among themselves as they watched the crown prince being carried away.

“What did he talk about with the Grand Duchess that made the Crown Prince faint?”

“Did he confess?”

“He was dumped, haven’t he? If you look at that.”

“If I were to choose between the Grand Duke and the Crown Prince, I would choose the Grand Duke.”

“Oh, my God, the duchess has a lot of admirers.”

Thus, rumors began to spread rapidly that the crown prince had been dumped in the imperial palace.

~~~

“Oh, my God, did the Crown Prince make that offer?!”

Craven was horrified to hear what happened yesterday. Arne nodded gracefully over Eva’s brewed tea.

“I thought I heard something wrong.”

“Is he crazy?”

“He looked cold, but he must be crazy.”

Crave asked a serious question, saying such a bullshit in front of our leader.

“So did you kill him?”

“No. I just hit him.”

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Craven clapped his hands.

“Wow, chief. What a surprise. That’s cool.”

“I wanted to change my mind, but I held it in.”

“Well done. It’s great that you didn’t kill him.”

The tail of Arne’s mouth was twitching at Craven’s compliment. Praise makes Dragons dance. Arne added a word with delight.

“I don’t want to call it a replacement, but I did touch it a little bit.”

“Oh, what’s the point? I was supposed to give my life.”

“Right?”

“Yes!”

Arne smiled pleased at Craven’s compliment. Hearing all this talk, Nanny Eva was at a loss to begin with.

“Suddenly, rumors have been circulating that the Crown Prince is ill…..”

The rumor must have been due to what Arne did.

The lament of Eva, the nanny, also briefly listened to all this conversation. Evermore clicked his tongue.

“[Sad]This country is in trouble too, such a man is the heir.]”

“Our Western Empire has no hope, and neither does the Northern Empire. No, is this good news?”

“[Heirs of a country must be a great man who can devote himself to the country…]”

Evermore kicked his tongue and made a speech about the attitude the heir of a country should have.

Arne, as usual, listened in one ear and out the other. Craven was the only one here who listened to everything Evermore said.

“Yes, that’s right. That’s right, Evermore is right.”

Craven is working hard today as well.

Arne shook her head as she watched Craven seriously responding to Evermore.

“[You’re right. I’m right about everything. Stupid Never would have thought of this. In that sense, it is your honor to serve me, slave.]”

“Yes, I know it’s an honor.”

“[All right, you’re in a position to serve me.I like it.]”

“Of course, I’ll serve you with all my heart. Do you want me to wipe it with clean water? I’ll wipe it clean.”

As if he had made a fuss about not liking it, Evermore now familiarly left his post to Craven.

Due to the nature of the Holy Sword of Light, it does not have to be cleaned because it has a function to clean up all kinds of dirty things, but Craven was working that he did not need to do because of Evermore’s personality, who likes clean and clean things. But Crave’s job satisfaction seemed to be at its best.

“Oh, look at this slim sword.”

Evermore is a legendary sword even if Evermore is a sword.

When can Craven touch a legendary sword?

~~~

It was when I was out of town.

Suddenly Erica approached Arne.

“I have something urgent to tell you, Your Highness.”

Erica lowered her voice so that only Arne could hear her looking very nervous. I thought she was going to swear allegiance again, but Arne let her.

“What is it? Tell me.”

“It’s about the Knight that guarding you.”

” Craven…..?”

What the hell does Erica have to say about Craven? While Arne briefly remained silent, Erica clenched her hands and said.

“…….?”

Are you trying to read my mind?

It was not unusual for Erica to notice Craven’s identity for a moment but in disguise as a maid. Arne’s expression briefly hardened with tension.

“I don’t think so.”

Gulp.

“I think he likes you.”

“………..”

A moment of silence…..

Arne saw Erica with empty eyes, whose soul had disappeared.

Erica clasped her hands and spoke passionately.

“Every day, He’s after you! He talk to his self like his talking to his own sword, but he can’t get away from you for a second. And the other guardians aren’t so bad…..Wouldn’t it be a good idea to avoid him because his so prescient that his obsessed with your highness? Or send him somewhere else.”

I wondered what this meant, but on the other hand Erica, who thought of herself so hard was so cute.

I don’t say that she will devote her loyalty anymore, but I felt that she was trying to devote her loyalty in her own way.

It was both admirable and cute, so Arne reached out and patted Erica’s head.

One after another.

‘Please continue to misunderstand that.’

Erica was also moved for a moment by the sudden stroke of her head. As expected, our Grand Duchess is a beautiful, caring, sweet, and friendly person.

“Your Highness, your Highness, don’t worry! I will protect you!”

Erica vowed to dig up the secret of her guardian knight and kick him out.

Arne was relieved to see Erica speaking seriously. She’s glad the truth hasn’t been revealed.
