I seem to have killed the original male protagonist.
A man lay on the ground, bleeding profusely, while I held a dagger in my hand.
“What is this body? Where is this place, and who is this man?”
Before I could grasp the situation I was in.
“Your Excellency? Is something wrong? I’m coming in!”
I was going to be framed as a murderer.
A voice, mysterious in nature, echoed in my head, like it was reciting words from a book.
[There was only one way for ‘Julia Reitz’ to escape the Duke of Bolev’s residence.]
I barely fled the murder scene whilst following the narration, but the voice continued speaking words I could not comprehend.
[What Julia Reitz sought for could only be fulfilled by Amon Spencer.]
Amon Spencer, the knight pursuing me.
Hold onto him.

“Do you mean to pursue the criminal as a team?”
[Julia spoke of the real cause behind Duke Bolev’s death.]
“Yes, I have information.”
We decided to form a temporary alliance for mutual benefit.
That was obviously it…
[Behind Amon’s firm expression, there was a hidden emotion sweet enough to melt anyone down.]
[It was love.]
Their contractual relationship, which she expected to end once the real perpetrator was identified, was changing.
