A Man Called the Devil (12)
“The wind is cold.”
“It’s okay, it’s none of your business.”
“My job, Princess, is always to take care of you.”
She raised her hand and stopped Carl. She wanted to enjoy it a little more. As the cool wind passed by her, she felt like a core of her heart was flying with it.
She stood still and felt the wind in the feeling of a little more frustration.
“It’s no different in the room or here.”
“Are you frustrated?”
“Isn’t it funny? People are so sly. I thought there was nothing I could wish for if I could buy it, but now I want to have more.”
After getting out of the room, she forgot the pain and was spending days similar to ordinary daily life, but she couldn’t be satisfied. Arthur’s castle does not differ from the room for her.
She’s suffocating, as if he’s holding her in his hand and not letting go. When his gaze followed, she held her breath without realizing it.
“What are you…….”
She hated herself who couldn’t do this or that. Wouldn’t it be better to just give up her life?
There was no proper content about Arthur in the book. He was really just described as a villain and had no influence in the book.
“By the way, Carl, what does Grand Duke Arthur do?”
“I don’t know the details. I understand that very few people know.”
“So you don’t know what he’s doing?”
“According to rumors, there’s a group that follows Arthur…….”
Carl paused and looked around. She turned her head to his behavior and was conscious. Soon after, he told her with a slight voice down.
It was a whispering voice, as if it were a secret. It was a voice that was too small to concentrate. Thanks to this, she approached closely and listened.
“……There’s a rumor that he buys and sells people.”
“Buy and sell people?”
“Not only that…….”
Carl, who was trying to talk to her, looked behind her and closed his mouth.
Why did he stop talking? Is there anything else?
“Selling drugs, gambling, slaves, etc. This is what I heard his business is like.”
A low-pitched voice came from behind. She got goosebumps all over her body. She still didn’t know when he came here.
“I guess eavesdropping is your hobby.”
“The princess must have a lot of questions about me.”
Her face muscles trembled. She tried to smile with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, but it was not enough.
When she saw Arthur’s clear eyes at her, her forehead narrowed without realizing it.
“If you had asked me directly, I would have answered much more accurately.”
“…….Were you willing to tell me?”
Arthur might have told her everything. However, it would not have been possible to believe that it was true.

She felt like she was playing a close tug-of-war. How far is the truth?
“Whatever you want.”
“If so, tell me. What is happening in this castle?”
“What are you curious about?”
Arthur did not deny it. He just asked what she wanted.
She couldn’t say anything to the look of admitting that something was going on in this castle.
Arthur waited for her mouth to open like a person waiting for her to ask him quickly.
“Am I safe in this castle?”
She couldn’t forget the scream Carl told her. It wouldn’t have been misheard. Arthur’s expression was telling her that.
“As long as you’re by my side, you’re safe.”
As long as she’s by his side…….
Is it that the moment she leaves him, her safety is not guaranteed? What qualifications does he have?
Since he has a medicine in his hand that can save her, he may intend to kill her without giving it to her.
“Let’s stop. It’s cold because of the weather.”
She turned around and walked past Arthur. Will she be able to get out of it? In this boring place…… Or will she really love Arthur?
She felt like she was in agony every day. Now even if she really loved him, she thought she would deny it.
“Oh, did you get what I asked you to find out?”
“The necessary documents will arrive by tomorrow. I’ll give it to you because you said it was what you wanted.”
“… That’s great. You’re a really valuable person.”
Someone who helps her a lot. Nevertheless, she was one of the people who wanted to escape.
The feeling of flowing as he wanted still lingered around her.
“Let’s sleep together starting today.”
“I don’t think that’s going to work.”
It was an unexpected answer. She turned around and looked at Arthur, hearing no from Arthur’s mouth, who thought it would be good. There was still no change in the calm voice and expression.
He was so expressionless that she couldn’t see what the hell he was thinking. The occasional shaky gaze was also quiet today.
If it was easier to understand, it would have been easier to deal with. She didn’t know anything except that he was obsessed with her. Are you glad you can see that?
“I won’t attack you, so don’t worry. I don’t want to attack a man who doesn’t want to sleep with me, either.”
She was speechless even when she said it. But she was earnest. It was to know if he was involved in what happened at night, but there was no other intention.
And she knows how to move Arthur well.

“I just didn’t want to sleep alone today.”
Arthur sighed briefly. The engagement with him is just around the corner.
Above all, if it was clear what was happening in this castle, she thought it would be comfortable to be with Arthur.
‘At least the owner of the castle won’t be in danger.’
If she is lucky, she may encounter the silver-haired man. And she was sure it wasn’t long before that day.
