"You are Lord Raymond Sayertes' fiancee. Thank you for coming all the way here. I'm glad to meet you."

"I am also very honored to meet Prince Louis."

Karen leaned over her dress. When Prince Louis gave a sign, Karen stood up and looked at Prince Louis. As Lady Lian said.

'Handsome.'

Her hair was bright brown and her eyes were also dark brown. He was young, but his features were so clear that he would grow up to be a handsome man if God did not fool around during his adolescence. All the aristocratic girls of Prince Louis' age were concentrating on Karen and Lewis. With all his expressions full of goodwill, the crown prince was likely to ring many women like his father in the future.

"I didn't expect to see you so early. It's a great honor for me."

I thought I'd meet your dad if I met him.

Karen thought so and saw a boy who might be on her chest. It certainly seemed attractive to those of his age. But being too young, Karen didn't feel much.

At best, I imagine what it would be like if the boy's head suddenly flew away. That imagination has become Karen's habit. But Karen couldn't resist the temptation that it would be quite fun.

It's so exciting even if only one maid and one rapist die. How interesting the world will turn when the crown prince dies! If only I could give up my little appointment and choose a different option! I don't think I've had enough of this life anyway, but if I kill him, he'll definitely be executed. If I had the confidence that I would die without being tortured, I would have choked right away.

No, it's not. This is only a delusion after all. Let's focus on the reality.

"Come on."

Prince Louis tilted his head and asked Karen.

"What?"

"Didn't Lord Raymond come with you?"

Prince Louis suddenly spoke to Karen, who had been imagining cruel things, answered a little later. Why do you ask that?

"I'm afraid Sir Raymond has something to do."

"Really? I'm a little disappointed. What happened to Lord Raymond? Is it more urgent than a royal call?"

It seems that the precociousness of the crown prince includes wielding power appropriately. But Karen was curious about the prince's words, which made Raymond a little displeased about not coming. Then why didn't he get the invitation?

"Did you miss Lord Raymond?"

"Yes, I did. I made a suggestion. I didn't know my father would let me. That's too bad."

But in the invitation, only his name was written. And it was your father, perhaps your grandfather, who sent Raymond to a place where he should hold a gun, not a group of young aristocrats. Karen lowered her eyes. Raymond's guess seemed right.

"Oh, but I'm not sorry that you're the only one here. I'm so happy to see your beauty with my own eyes. I'd love to ask you to dance right away."

"Oh, my God."

Karen could feel the sharpening eyes of her immediate surroundings. Save me, I'm only ten. I'm about to get married. Ladies, don't you see the crown prince always greet you? Karen smiled a bitter smile. He laughed interestingly as if the Crown Prince had noticed the atmosphere.

"Is it too early for me to say?"

"Come on, I'll be older by the time you make your debut."

"Twenty-four is never too many."

"There's plenty for women. Your Highness, the first dance is not with a woman with a fiance. Wouldn't it suit you better to expect Karen's daughter than Karen?”

The Countess Elba was caught in conversation. Karen's eyes were cold. Oh, ma'am. Your attitude changes so quickly. Karen just laughed at the attitude of the Countess, who changed in an instant. I don't think it's going to help his own child, so it's a changing attitude right away. It's as cold here as Raymond's war. And there's nothing to gain. But it was the wrong person to save her.

"Will you break your promise to dance with me for the first time?"

"No, it's not like that."

“…….”

Lady Lian was properly prepared to burst into tears. Louis rolled his eyes in front of the grinning Lian. Then another nobleman stepped in there.

"Your Grace."

"Oh, Baron Trail. Long time no see. Solar Young-ae has grown a lot."

Baron Trail, however, did not seem to welcome his daughter's praise for her height.

"Wait a minute, Your Highness, didn't you say you were going to accompany Solar for the first dance? I'm sure your Highness did that on your 5th birthday."

"When I was five....”

"Only five years ago, Your Highness!"

"When I was five....”

"No way, Your Highness...You're not going to say that you don't remember because you're young, are you?

"Well…."

He is ten years old at the earliest convenience. Even the crown prince does.

Karen sympathized with Prince Louis, who was sweating profusely among the nobles. But Karen didn't mean to join. What am I supposed to do between them? Congratulations, Your Grace. You must have a lot of women in your life.

"Oh, Karen."

Don't talk to me, but Prince Louis neatly ignored the silent request and finished speaking.

"How did you meet Sir Raymond?”

"Oh, well, there seem to be more people who need to talk than I do."

The count over there, the Duke and the Marquis and so on. However, Prince Louis turned his head desperately and asked Karen firmly.

"Aha, but there's not as much interesting talk as you and Lord Raymond's love story these days. All the youngsters are curious about the story. Don't you think so?"

Prince Louis then sought consent from the girls, including Lady Lian and Lady Sola. At first, the girls pouted as if they were going to protest, but they agreed.

"Yes…. I'm curious."

"Me, too."

The girls made eye contact with each other, ignoring the parents who stopped them, and scrambling to speak out.

"How did you meet....”

"And how did I fall in love....”

"Where did you kiss for the first time?".”

"Well, that's too early, Miss Solar!"

Karen turned to Prince Louis with a look of protest, but Lewis nodded to Karen with a calm face. Like Young-ae around me. Yeah, I'm curious too.

His story is moderately interesting. It's a good story to be consumed as a gossip for people around you. A handsome man and a beautiful woman. Unlike men and women and their parents, who are not even competitors, their girls regard Karen as a far older woman. I don't have any negative feelings about it, but I'm a little tired.

"Tell me!"

"I'm curious, too."

I can't say no more here. Karen had no choice but to smile and open her mouth. Let's talk about it. The story of love. Romantic stories that children will listen to and like. Just like you heard.

"The first time I met....”

Come to think of it, where should I tell you? Should I start with getting stabbed in the middle of being raped? Karen is in trouble. Should I start with seeing elephants?

"I don't listen to my father... I got lost while sneaking out.”

"Oh, my God! A woman walking around alone, Karen!"

"...thank you for your advice. Lady Ryan."

I think we should just say we met again after getting lost here. Karen had to break out in a cold sweat to tell the young ladies who had her eyes glistening eyes at her.

Raymond drew a knife around the servant's neck. The man with a cut in his neck sat down, turning his eyes upside down.

"Huh, uh, uh."

“…….”

Nevertheless, it moves whether it is trying to speak or run away. It wriggles, but soon it doesn't mean anything. Raymond grabbed the man by the neck and leaned back. That was it.

“…….”

"Oh, oh?"

There is another maid. Raymond approached the woman who opened her mouth. And she broke her neck. That was it.

Fuck

"You son of a...!"

This time he was a muscular man. He was a mercenary. He had a rifle in his hand. However, he did not find Raymond near the door, but came upon him by accident. So the gun was useless. It was too close.

"Hmm…."

It was a wrong judgment to bring a gun. The man put his hand in to take out his knife, but it was too late.

"Are you looking for this?"

Raymond split the man's neck and chest at the same time. It was the knife he was looking for. Raymond was a sniper, but it was just a task left to him. Raymond has never failed to kill anyone. There is no hesitation in the movement of the body, vision, breathing, and all that.

"Sian, you idiot."

Raymond swept away his wet hair. I came looking for the least number of people, and I already met three people when I had time to make a cup of tea. He's a man who's really not help.

It wasn't until he killed three that Raymond looked down at his weapon. I haven't had anything to write about yet. I should do it now to test it. But Raymond was doubtful whether it would be useful.

"You want me to assassinate the Duke of Rutella alone?"

That's to die. No matter how good the noise effect this new gun is, no matter how lethal it is. There is a limit to the number of bullets Raymond can carry, and one person cannot deal with 100 people at the same time. If you're a wizard from an old story, you'll never know.

"Lord Raymond never dies."

It's a very comfortable story. Raymond shook his head. This was not the time to indulge in useless thoughts. Let's go to the Duke's room. I don't think of anything else.
