87 – Assassination of the Princess (2)

As the princess and I hugged each other, we wrote something behind our backs and talked.

-So princess, when do you think you started following me?

-I think it’s been about a week.

It’s been a week…

Unlike other students, the princess and Sena are free to go to school.

Aren’t these guys busy and able to grow on their own?

-So. You went back to school after a week.

-Yes. At first, I thought it was an illusion, but I kept feeling a cold sensation.

The princess, who is no one else, can feel it.

It would be clear if I said that I felt it not just once, but for a week.

But.

-Hmm. But I don’t feel it now.

-I think it’s because they’re worried that they’ll get caught if they follow me here.

-Ah. But.

Of course there are outstanding people in the royal family, but are they really better than here?

Now, he is a hero equivalent to an official in the Demon King’s army.

Jane, deputy guild leader of the mercenary guild.

There, Margaret, the guard knight, and the princess.

Lastly, I am afraid of even the devil.

What more needs to be said?

Even from an assassin’s perspective, infiltrating here would be too big of a gamble.

-So what are you going to do? Princess.

-Yes. I plan to use myself as bait.

-Bait?

The princess raises the corners of her mouth at that question.

It looks like they have something planned.

***

Same time.

Jane becomes anxious because of the two people who did not come out of the break room.

I wonder if I would even bite my thumb nail to the point where it gets worn down.

‘Ugh…Why on earth isn’t it coming out?’

Of course Elric would not cross the line in a place like this.

However, the problem is, didn’t Elric show a different side from usual?

As a result, he couldn’t help but be ominous.

-Cracked.

Break down the door even now…

The moment when Jane was thinking such dangerous thoughts.

-Kkiik!

Soon, the door opened in the lounge.

Jane turned her head towards that place without realizing it.

Then, the princess’s cheeks were seen blushing.

‘What is it? ‘What happened?’

It’s so suspicious.

If you didn’t do anything, there’s no reason to be so embarrassed.

Jane narrowed her eyes and approached.

“Huh? Jane?”

Elric’s scent tickles the tip of his nose.

His scent is no different from usual.

But.

“······.”

Contrary to expectations, the princess’s scent is a bit mixed.

Is there any reason for her to mingle like this just because they are together in the break room?

No matter how you look at it, it’s suspicious.

The princess came out with blushing cheeks.

At the same time, Elric smelled unique to the princess.

That means.

‘It’s clear something happened between the two of you!’

That time when Jane glared at Elric with one of her beaky eyes.

“Hmm. Jane. “Why are you glaring at the professor like that?”

The princess naturally folds her arms towards him and tilts her head.

A woman’s senses speak.

That person is provoking none other than himself.

‘Master…’

I shifted my gaze to Elric for a moment.

Elric just has a dull expression.

Soon, he says.

“Jane.”

“Yes. Young master.”

“I decided to tutor the princess for the rest of her vacation. So, you may not be able to enter the mansion for a while.”

“·····Yes?”

I heard something so unexpected that my brain stopped.

Elric is about to be taken over by the princess, but he spent the day alone with her.

If you do something wrong, Elric might do something like that with the princess.

Just as she was about to say something, Elric struck first.

“So, I’ll leave this to you. “Because something unexpected could happen.”

“Ha, but.”

“Can you do it?”

“Keuung…”

This is a request from Elric, not anyone else.

Elric is like a benefactor who saved him.

I cannot refuse his request.

However. I feel like something bad will happen if I leave Elric here.

‘Now that I think about it…’

Isn’t it okay for him to have someone who can protect this place even if it’s not him?

She spoke out the thoughts that were in her head.

“Master.”

“Hmm?”

“Isn’t the reason you protect this place because of something that might happen?”

“Well, that’s right.”

“Then I think Rin and Ran are better than me.”

“Why?”

“If something happens, wouldn’t it be possible for the two of you to go straight to the master?”

“Hmm. Yes.”

Elric shook his head at her question.

Soon, her expression appears lost in thought.

‘Please. Young master·····.’

As Jane looked at her with her earnest eyes, Elric tilted her head as if he was reading her inner thoughts.

“Okay. Well, then let’s leave it to those two people. “I think they both wanted to play anyway.”

Jane sighed in relief at those words.

At the same time.

“Tsk.”

The princess was seen clicking her tongue.

It is clear that something is being tightly planned.

***

Same time.

Baran was in charge of assassinating an official in the Demon King’s army.

Now he was waiting for the princess to reappear in a shadow in the royal capital.

‘Hmm. ‘I don’t know when it’s coming.’

A subordinate who can eavesdrop is attached to the princess’s shadow.

According to what she heard, it seems like the princess hasn’t noticed that she’s spying on her yet.

‘Still, it would be better not to let down your guard.’

Isn’t the princess famous even in the Demon King’s army?

Aside from her strength, her brains are incredibly extraordinary.

So, no good will come from letting your guard down.

It was then.

‘Hmm?’

After waiting, the princess returned to the royal capital.

But.

‘As expected, I am not alone.’

Sure enough, Elric and Jane would have joined.

‘A bit variable.’

He is a man whom the devil, not any other being, is wary of.

He must have had unusual powers.

Baran continued to monitor the situation using his power of shadow vision.

The princess linked arms with Elric with a bright smile unlike usual.

From behind, Jane glares at the princess with wide eyes.

At that time.

-Spooky!

Suddenly, a shiver ran down my spine.

Wondering what the hell was going on, Jane looked at the princess’s feet for a moment.

With a face full of doubts.

‘Could it be that you noticed?’

Baran breaks into a cold sweat and gulps dry saliva! I swallowed.

A shadow power that has never been discovered except by the Demon King.

But now Jane is looking at the shadow with a thoughtful expression.

‘No way. ‘You didn’t get caught, right?’

Baran thought for a moment of the assumption that he would be caught here.

The moment you are caught here, all operations will be in vain.

Assassination of the princess is, of course, impossible.

At worst, you could get caught by them and die.

However, the reason he is so afraid is not because of those two things.

Only because the operation may fail and cause disappointment to the Demon King.

‘What should I do…’

That time when he was calculating in his head.

-Poof!

Jane raises her head up again.

-Hmm. I think it’s an illusion.

As he said that, he glared at the princess again.

Luckily, I don’t think I noticed.

“Phew… It’s just as the Demon Lord said.”

Not only Elric but also the women nearby warned that something was unusual.

At first, I thought how bad it would be, seeing as how unusual humans are…

‘It’s better than I expected.’

However, in the end, I did not notice his shadow power.

Therefore, there is no need to change the plan significantly.

Baran reexamined the plan he had made.

‘Results after checking for a week.’

I have now learned the princess’s lifestyle pattern.

In the morning, she does magic training.

During the day, she works.

On the last night, I looked at Elric’s portrait and the crystal video sphere…

Anyway, even though she usually leads a life like that, she doesn’t show any slack.

That’s because Margaret is by her side.

However, there are times when even the princess has a gap.

It is none other than dawn.

She unconsciously visits the bathroom every time she sleeps.

And Margaret is the only one there who does not serve as an escort.

So, it would be enough to kill her during that time.

‘Even if those two humans joined, they wouldn’t go to her bathroom with her.’

After organizing the operation, Baran quickly waited for dawn to come.

She had no idea that she was caught in a trap.

***

Same time.

Jane was lost in thought for a moment.

‘Hmm. ‘What is it?’

I feel something in the princess’s shadow.

I can’t say anything, but if I had to explain it…

‘Living.’

I felt so clearly that I wanted to kill the princess.

For a moment, her gaze shifted to the princess and Elric.

‘Something is strange.’

She feels it herself, so can those two people not feel it? No. That can’t be possible.

I can assure you that these two people already know.

‘No way…’

For a moment, an assumption passed through her mind.

If the princess knew the assassin was targeting her, she would do the same thing on purpose.

Everything fits together.

However.

‘Hmm. But why do I still feel something uncomfortable?’

Reason says this is the right answer, but it feels like something is still left.

It feels like I got only one correct answer to a subjective question with two correct answers.

Somehow, she keeps feeling that there is one more thing.

‘Whoa. There’s nothing more to it than this.’

No matter how much I turn my head, nothing more comes to mind.

Like that, she followed the two people with a slightly uncomfortable look on her face.

Not knowing that the princess had other plans.
