It was a face that was indistinguishable from whether she was trying to curse the robbers or genuinely showing the ring.
“That woman is insane. Hey! Clear it up quickly!”
As the robbers rushed to the princess, Schumann’s voice filled with irritation was heard behind her.
“Ouch, what kind of smell is this?”
“The smell of people getting burned.”
“
 How do you know that?”
“I’ve done it often.”
I swallowed my saliva at the voice that was getting closer and closer.
If Dillian sees me in this state, he’ll be mad, right
?
I wasn’t afraid of the guy behind me or the sword that got into my neck.
The really scary thing was the angry Dillian.
And finally, our eyes met.
I smiled awkwardly as I looked at the two pairs of eyes that had grown to the bigger size.
“Sorry, I’ve been taken hostage.”
Schumann and Dillian paused for a moment, and they ran towards me at high speed. My body shivered from the murderous energy approaching.
“Stop! If you come any closer, then this woman, argh!”
The man who took me hostage threatened them, but it didn’t work.
The moment Schumann froze the man’s arm with magic, I broke the arm and escaped.
At the same time, Dillian, who flew in, kicked the man’s stomach.
I muttered as I looked at the captain lying on the floor.
“Well. I’ve said you took the wrong hostage. Idiot.”
After that, it was a one-sided attack.

“You should be grateful that May is not here.”
Schumann, who kicked the fleeing guild member, wiped his sweat-soaked bangs.
“If May was here, you’d have been beheaded first and hanged on the wall.”
“Who is May?”
Wondering when she got a chair, Daisy, who was sitting watching the fight, asked.
Schumann answered, looking at her with tired eyes.
“It’s my sister.”
“I see. But sir. Even if it’s not sir’s sister, the future of them seems to be like that.”
Daisy kicked her tongue, looking at the guild members who had lost their minds tired of Dillian’s ruthless grip for a long time .
“I don’t know about anyone else, but anyone who touches the duke’s fiancĂ©e will be beheaded.”
She was half right and half wrong.
Dillian had no intention of saving anyone involved in this matter.
Especially, the damn guy who had a dirty sword around Ria’s neck, he was going to send him to the underworld.
Dillian, who had finished treading on the last one, asked Schumann, who was starting to clean up .
“How about miss Ria?”
“She’s treating the wounded.”
Schumann pointed to the next room.
As he said, Ria was moving fast.
“Grandpa, excuse me.”
The last person to approach Ria was an old gentleman with white hair.
He had been hit in the same place over and over again, his cheeks were about to swell, and his eyes were unsightly with ruptured blood vessels.
But that’s only what he sees in his eyes, and in Ria’s eyes, only feelings of pity were seen.
Dillian looked at Ria as she healed the wounded, and frowned at the red marks on her neck.
‘There’s a scratch?’
Dillian, who knew everything about Ria, noticed that her necklace had disappeared.
Under the circumstances, it appears that the necklace was forcibly cut off and injured her neck.
‘That guy must have his head cut off too.’
When Dillian was planning another beheading, Ria, who had sent the last hostage out safely into the hallway, got up by pounding on her stiff waist.
Dillian, who stood outside the door and watched it, stepped in.
“Sir Dillian, is the outside finished?”
“Schumann is cleaning things up. Miss Ria, are you okay?”
“Yes, sir Dillian came before anything happened, so I’m fine.”
Are you trying to hide it, or are you unaware that you are hurt?
Either way is equally annoying.
‘So annoying, even just with this small wound makes me so angry.’
Dillian, who muttered inwardly, reached out and stroked Ria’s neck.
“Ugh.”
Ria frowned in pain and shrugged her shoulders.
“Is this what you said fine?”
As if holding back his anger, Ria blinked at the repressed voice.
Ria really didn’t know she was hurt.
“Is it cut by the sword?”
“
 It’s a scratch because of the necklace.”
“Ah, the necklace! They took it!”
A gold diamond ! Ria also found out today for the first time that the name of the necklace was tears of the sun.
‘But they rob it? I won’t let them go.’
As it bounced off like a spring, the outstretched hand gently wrapped around Ria’s waist and pulled it.
Ria, who was suddenly held in Dillian’s arms, blinked blankly. A voice whispered in her ear growled wildly.
“With your body in this state, where else are you going?”
“Ah
.”
“As I always said. Take care of yourself before you take care of others.”
“I didn’t know I got hurt.”
“If you get hurt again while I’m not there, then I might really lock you up.”
The voice and tone were infinitely soft, but the content was not light.
“Do you get it?”
Dillian urged an answer, and ran his fingertips along the wounded path.
“Yes, yes. I get it, so please let go of your hand 
.”
Ria shrugged her shoulders.
Not because it hurts, but because it tickles. She couldn’t keep her body still in a strange feeling that she couldn’t define.
“It hurts a lot?”
“It’s not
.”
“It hurts my heart to hear that miss Ria’s delicate body is hurt.”
“Don’t worry, it’s not very painful
.”
“Miss Ria is thinking that it is more important to treat others than her body, so you will heal my mind as well, right?”
“I will heal it. I will do it
.”
In order to escape from Dillian’s arms, Ria quickly healed her wounds with divine power.
“Ta-dah. Wound healing is over!”
As she smiled awkwardly, Dillian’s smile widened.
“Certainly, I will get his head cut off.”
Ria grabbed Dillian’s waist who was about to pull out a sword with a smile.
“You can’t kill him! It’s better to send him to prison, prison!”
If you kill him here, strange rumors will circulate that the monster duke ate another man once again!
Ria didn’t know.
She was already concerned about Dillian’s reputation.
“Miss Ria values the lives of such garbage.”
But, unaware of that fact, Dillian’s stomach twisted.
To cover even the person who hurt herself.
Dillian loved Ria’s wide heart, but for this moment, he hated it.
“Not that! If you kill them, your reputation will go down!”
What annoying noise are you talking about!
Ria, the savage, pinched Dillian’s waist, who did not understand her heart.
And there are still those who have not been evacuated. She could tell by the sound of screams coming from outside.
Even if Dillian had put the commotion to rest, seeing the blood here might provoke a vile gossip.
“He can pay for his sins in prison.”
Because there are people who are injured, but no one is dead.
“So, just calm down and just arrest
!”
At that moment, a large, stout body attacked Ria. Ria stuttered at the strong force that embraced her without warning.
“Why, why?”
When the surprised Ria, squirmed, the hug became stronger as if it didn’t want to let her go.
Not only that, Dillian, who buried his face in Ria’s shoulder, asked in a deep voice.
“Are you worried about me? Aren’t those bastards?”
“Why do I care about those guys!”
Ria jumped up at the fact that she had received a strange misunderstanding.
“I’m worried about sir Dillian. To whom else can I worry 
.”
Her voice grew smaller in embarrassment, but Dillian listened carefully.
The words of her that says she worried about him.
“You were worried about me. Me.”
Dillian, who had been murmuring in his mouth as if savoring Ria’s concerns, attention, and affection, burst into laughter.
Ria rolled her eyes, promptly noticing the strangely flowing atmosphere.
‘It’s dangerous. I will get teased again.’
Ria, anticipating what was to come, quickly hit the player.
“Sir Dillian, I didn’t even know I was hurt. Had I known, I would have taken care of myself first. So don’t kill him, just just make him faint. Okay?”
“It’s your words, so of course it is.”
Fyuh, that’s a relief. Ria exhaled a sigh of relief and patted Dillian on the back.
“Okay. If we get through today without any fatalities, I will play with sir Dillian all day next time.”
Then, in an instant, Dillian’s eyes changed. Sharp and tenacious eyes turned to Ria as if a beast was hunting for its prey.
“Is skinship allowed?”
“Just holding hands.”
“That’s what we usually do. Please even allow me to kiss you on the cheek.”
“Do you have a conscience?”
“I don’t grow something like that.”
Dillian was confident. And shameless.
Ria, who did not dislike the act of affection that she would have hated in the past, raised the tolerance level after deliberation.
“I even allow hugs.”
“It’s not a good conclusion, but because the person who likes it more, loses, so I will yield.”
As if he was being sympathetic, Ria burst into laughter at the sight of him shaking his head.
“Thank you so much for that.”
“Instead, date, we’re going to do it for sure.”
“I got tricked, here?”
Ria held out her hand. Dillian, who approached faster than the light, clasped his hand with Ria’s fingers.
“That’s fortunate. You have lightened up. I was really worried because I thought we were really going to break up.”
Unlike Dillian, who sighed in relief, saying he was really surprised, Ria’s face gradually heated up.
When she suddenly became a hostage, she forgot about it
The fact that she got very angry with Dillian and left her seat.
When her sane mind returned, Ria struggled with embarrassment, realizing how immature and shameful the act was.
‘I want to disappear into dust
.’
Ria, who screamed inwardly, tried to hide her red face, but could not avoid the hawk-eyed Dillian.
The smile on Dillian’s lips grew darker.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen miss Ria so angry.”
“That, that!”
“Are you jealous that I was with another woman?”
“No!”
“But why is your face red?”
