Chapter 1

It was a night where the heat of midsummer didn’t go away.

 

On the way back from secretly exiting the mansion, I bumped my shoulder with someone wearing a black hood that wasn’t suitable for the season.

 

, Lady Ariel! Did you go out late again? I’ll be in trouble if you keep doing this! I have nothing to say to the Count.”

 

“Yeah, it’s okay, so open the door.”

 

“By the way, who was behind you… … .”

 

The gatekeeper groaned, pulling out the key, and opening the door. It was clear that he had checked the boy’s face.

 

Well, if you can see that unrivaled flower beauty and have a normal flow of thought, that would be even more weird.

 

I decided to wait for a while until the gatekeeper was able to wake up. I had that kind of generosity.

 

But the boy didn’t seem to be. I heard his long breath, as he swept his cheek.

 

“My, my apologies.”

 

The gatekeeper quickly excused himself and stepped aside. I and the boy walked across the large garden in front of the mansion.

 

I thought about it before, but it didn’t seem like he was in good shape.

 

I didn’t walk very fast, but the speed he followed me was gradually slowing down. He seemed to hold back his groans.

 

“We’re here. You just have to go a little more.”

 

I looked back at the boy as if I were cheering for him. He nodded hardly.

 

We were almost at the front door. It popped open, and my brother, Count Abyssion, walked out. His eyes were slightly raised, as if he’s angry.

 

“Ariel, it’s too late… … His Highness Siegfried?”

 

Abbysion’s peach-colored eyes opened up. Like me, Abbysion immediately recognized the boy’s identity.

 

In fact, we couldn’t know him.

 

Siegfried Laxien Anfellicita. An imperial prince famous for his beauty and poor childhood.

 

And the male protagonist in the novel I reincarnated into.

 

“Come in. I got a call that you were coming by carriage… .”

 

Abbysion opened the front door wide, bringing Siegfried and me inside. As I walked down the dark night road, I was dazzled by the bright light.

 

“I was attacked. Can I explain the situation later?”

 

Siegfried swept his head with his elongated fingers.

 

A straight forehead with sweat-soaked hair stuck to it and dark, fine eyebrows were revealed.

 

Wow. What the heck is that face? I feel that I wouldn’t get tired looking at it for a whole day.

 

I looked at him with admiration. Then, once again, Siegfried and my eyes met. His pupils widened and then shrunk, making a fierce impression.

 

Why are you glaring at me all of a sudden. I looked away.

 

“Count Elifritz, I want to rest now.”

 

Siegfried’s stinging gaze seemed to stick on me. He still stared at me and called Abbysion with sweet lips.

 

“Of course. We will guide you to the prepared room. Ariel, you go up too.”

 

Soon Siegfried glanced away from me and passed by me. Left on the porch, I sat down like a slithering glide.

 

The fact that the world I live in was a novel crept on my skin.

 

I’m going to meet the male protagonist in our house.

 

Siegfried Laxien and so on.

 

With a long name, he was a figure who killed the present Crown Prince and ascended the emperor in the distant future.

 

In my head, wearing a suit stained with blood, I drew the image of an unretired man sitting at an angle on the throne.

 

It was possible to do so clearly as if I had seen it for myself. He looks a little bigger and stronger than he is now.

 

“Lady, the floor is cold.”

 

The maid who was locking the door came up and reached out to me.

 

After waking up from my thoughts, I looked at the stairs where Siegfried had climbed.

 

A great sense of anxiety came upon me. Because I was going to be the fiancée of the Crown Prince who died at the hands of Siegfried.
