– What are you worried about?
– You didn’t tell the witch too much.
It was the voice of the man who stopped the prince in the garden. But the man was nowhere to be seen. She had deliberately planted a bear cookie with big ears and chocolate icing on his eyes, but the cookie was still deep in his pocket.
– But don’t the witch already know a lot?
– And she might be on the side of the Grand Duke now.
Does that mean that the evil witch was actually on the side of the imperial family? Her heart sank.
– If she tells the Grand Duke something, you might get into trouble. You have to use his hand properly beforehand

– It’s fine. I noticed something I didn’t know at all.
There was a rustling sound, and then the prince’s voice was heard again.
– If she’s a witch, can’t she sense the holy power? I started talking to her, wondering if she would know where the holy relics were located in the Grand Duke’s family.
Relic? Were there any holy relics in the Grand Duke’s family? It was the first time she heard it.
– But she said it was an honor to meet me, and judging from the fact that she just stared blankly at me, it seems that she was fascinated by my beauty and didn’t listen to me properly. So don’t worry.
What was he talking about?
– Being handsome is really difficult sometimes.
The prince seemed to be in the final stage of the prince’s disease. So, the last raid was hers? Was he also behind the assassination?
– Anyway, how do you pay Regina back? Her mother had told her that snails came out, but she didn’t know that cow intestines would come out! Because of that cunning fox, she was properly disgraced at dinner tonight.
She couldn’t bear to be curious, but the prince kept saying other things.
– Again, rumors about my lack of qualifications as an Emperor will circulate in the social world. Elliot’s popularity will only rise because the demons of the Grand Duke’s family did not cause an accident. Elliot, I want to get rid of him like my parents did, but my father tells me to stop myself now, damn it.
Eliminate? Like ‘his parent’? It was time to finally come out with decisive information.
– Uh? What’s this?
The prince’s face began to flicker in front of her closed eyes. He found the cookie and took it out.
‘Oh! You won’t find out that it’s my cookie, right?’

The moment she was worried, when she saw the roof of the prince’s mouth, she cut off the sensory transmission.
“Ugh
”
Prince, she almost smelled his breath. As she rubbed his goose bumps on her arm, she immediately fell into serious thought. Apparently, the Imperial family was not just a villain. They must be behind the attack that night, right? Was the royal family also behind the assassination of the former Grand Duke couple? If one thought about it, it was a story that made so much sense. If so, it explained why the Grand Duke did not take the children to the imperial palace.
She suddenly remembered the time when everything was in sync, from the Grand Duke’s actions to why the Emperor kept trying to send him away.
“Why didn’t you help me that day?”
You thought she would help?
“I want you to infiltrate the Grand duchy’s house for us
”
– And she might be on the side of the Grand Duke now.
He meant the Wicked Witch was on his side? It was a moment when she was trembling with an ominous feeling.
Knock, knock.
Someone knocked on the door outside. She was startled and opened the door after clearing away the magic book and the empty bottle of mana recovery medicine as if she had done something bad.
“Miss Hazel.”
Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, the person who knocked on my door was the Grand Duke.
“Uh
”
Elliot panicked and lost his words.
“Miss Hazel
”
The nanny’s face was red, no matter what she was doing. Her expression looked as if she would burst into tears if touched.
“What
 Is it work?”
“No. Nothing special.”
It was more suspicious to force a smile.
“Anyway, do you have anything to say?”
He didn’t even bother to pry unless he was in the mood to talk. After all, the nanny and the Grand Duke were not even friends. Elliot, trying hard to ignore the babysitter’s awkward smile, brought up his business right away.
“I wanted to say thank you to Miss Hazel for doing something no one else could.”
“Ah
 What. That’s a babysitter’s job.”
“You talk like it’s easy. Don’t forget that dozens of nannies have failed. I think you should admit that you have great skills.”
“Thank you.”
A faint smile spread across her sitter’s face, and she finally loosened the corners of Elliott’s mouth.
“Even a good nanny deserves an award. Is there anything you want?”
“Yes.”
Elliott was dazed. The person who always said she didn’t need money or anything gave an unexpected answer. What did she want? Curious, he hurriedly responded.
“Okay? Let me know what it is.”
“Uh, that
”
“Hurry.”
“
Trust me.”
Gold, jewels, carriages, mansions. Elliot, who had been thinking about this, was taken aback by her unexpected request.
“Is it a reward for me to trust the nanny? Why?”
He asked back, and the nanny didn’t explain why she wanted that, but she shouted, clenching her fists in front of him.
“I am unconditional! Always! I’m the person of His Highness the Grand Duke.”
“My
 love?”
“No, man. Person!”
“Ah
”
“That means I’m on the side of the Grand Duke.”
“Yeah, thanks for that
”
Elliot came to his senses and asked a sharp question.
“Did Miss Hazel do anything to be misunderstood by me?”
He involuntarily recalled the scene of the nanny talking face to face with the prince this evening. There was nothing that couldn’t be done because the servant of the Grand Duke’s family had a conversation with the crown prince. Judging from the fact that she sincerely prevented the prince’s attack, she wasn’t even a spy. Besides, the nanny didn’t know who was behind the attack. So it wasn’t a scene that bothered him at all, but strangely, it was disturbingly flickering in front of his eyes all evening.
“I didn’t do it, but I might be misunderstood.”
“What are you talking about? Miss Hazel, can you please elaborate?”
The nanny looked down the hallway and lowered her voice even as she made sure no one was there.
“Your Highness, I have important information about the last raid and the death of the former Grand Duke and his wife.”
“What?”
“I will tell you if you promise to believe in me.”
Elliot hesitated for a moment, then nodded his head.
“Okay, trust me.”
“By the way, is whispering a violation of the physical contact ban?”
He bent his head toward the nanny, who wrinkled his brow and tested his patience.
“Tell me quickly.”
Finally, the nanny whispered in his ear.
“The royal family is behind it.”
At that moment, Elliot let out a sigh of relief at her.
“I know that.”
“Ah
 You said you didn’t know.”
The nanny let out a sigh of relief as well, then blushed and pursed her lips. On the contrary, she was stunned by him questioning her.
“I was just ignoring it to protect Miss Hazel.”
“I bet you didn’t believe me.”
“Of course there is that too.”
The nanny pouted her lips again. Should that be banned too? Elliot looked at her and spoke his important story.
“Now Miss Hazel has to tell me where and how did you know that. I must have warned you not to get into this.”
“I wasn’t digging around. He suddenly came to me and confided in me.”
“Who?”
“The crown prince.”
The nanny then relayed the conversation she had with the prince to him.
‘Ah
 So in the garden with Gerald
’
Elliot was surprised to hear that she even overheard the prince’s conversation with a cookie.
“I don’t know how it was ‘removed,’” she said.
The nanny said that she hadn’t figured out the method of the assassination, and she regretted it.
“The holy relic is said to be in the Grand Duke’s house and they want to know its location. Isn’t that why they are raiding?”
“If it’s a holy thing. There is no such thing.”
“Then I’m glad.”
“They’re breaking in because of rumors.”
Somehow, a few years ago, his mother, who was a saint before her marriage, married his father and asked the imperial family if there were any sacred objects she brought as a gift.
Now that he knew why they were attacking, he had a way to stop it.
“What you learned today, wherever you go, don’t tell the children. Also keep in mind that the only people who know about this are me, Daniel, and the captain of the guard.”
“Yes.”
“Anyway, I owe Miss Hazel another debt.”
“Why? I’m glad it helped.”
Elliot, who raised the corners of his mouth following her proudly smiling babysitter, suddenly became curious.
“There must have been a magician following the prince, but he couldn’t detect Miss Hazel’s magic.”
“Because it was a cookie, It wouldn’t have aroused suspicion. And even so, movement magic and sensory transfer magic are high-level magic, so they wouldn’t have expected it.”
Well, the magic that turns people into frogs wasn’t something anyone could do. She didn’t know basic healing magic, but she could use this kind of difficult magic freely. That was suspicious too.
Elliot asked, looking down at the nanny who was so kind and suspicious.
“What do you mean you knew you would help?”
“I don’t know. That’s why I asked you to trust me.”
The nanny put her hands together and she said eagerly.
“Don’t forget that I was prepared to be misunderstood and told you everything honestly. So, I am on your side.”
Elliot nodded his head earnestly.
“I swear I didn’t do anything wrong other than that mercenary frog. Ah, I cursed the empress today, but please skip that.”
“Curse?”
Elliot burst into laughter when he realized that Hazel’s small but sure curse was responsible for smacking her toe on her doorstep and showing her ugliness to be talked about in social circles.
“How can they be so impudent anyway? I am really angry.”
The nanny clenched her fists tightly, indignantly, and she suddenly pulled her hair into a scarf and shrugged her shoulders as if frightened. She was, frankly, a more entertaining spectacle to Elliot than the nanny’s cookie puppet show.
