0.18. Fiancé is an assassin (1)

'Loetta... … !'

Jenny stood in place and stiffened.

'I'm trash.'

I forgot about her again. The poor original heroine is imprisoned.

In the library where I visited to learn how to be human, I do not fall asleep as soon as I open the book, but I am dancing with excitement at the delicacies prepared in front of my eyes.

'Reflection, Eugenie.'

He blamed himself and muttered. Aside from feeling embarrassed, the meat tasted very good.

'wait. I've never had meat in my mouth... … ?'

I turn my head and see a piece of meat approaching me. The culprit was the Emperor.

Tenoch dipped a small piece of meat into a fork and brought it to Jenny. As he chewed the meat in his mouth and swallowed it, new meat came into his mouth again.

'What is this guy?'

I was dumbfounded and looked at it blankly. Tenoch answered, as if she read the question in her eyes.

“It doesn’t taste good when it gets cold.”

Yes, meat tastes best when it is warm. no no. Not that.

'Ugh, isn't this guy a complete animal idiot? They seem to have completely forgotten that I am a rabbit.'

If not, you can't really treat it like a pet.

Anyway, the meat... … .

'Fantastic.'

It was yummy. Fantastic grilling that is neither too much nor too little. The skill of the royal chef here was impressive every time I ate.

'Kim, to save Loetta, we must first secure our ship. cancer cancer.'

He struggled to make excuses and moved his mouth vigorously. I've been engrossed in eating with Tenoch for a while.

"your majesty."

The servant, who had been exchanging whispers at the entrance of the dining room, approached with a somewhat firm expression and spoke up.

“Why?”

“I would like to see the captain of the guards. They say there is an urgent situation to report.”

“Stop by.”

Tenoch put down the fork he was holding, and picked up a napkin to clear his mouth.

The door opened and a man wearing a breastplate entered.

'Oh, that guy.'

He was the one who grabbed Jenny's ear when she first became possessed by this place and woke up in the forest.

At that time, I didn't notice because I was so careless, but this guy has dark brown hair and sharp eyes.

he's obviously

'It must be Kyle Desmon.'

The man silently bowed toward Tenoch with an upright attitude.

“Your Majesty, I apologize for visiting you during your meal.”

"If you're sorry, Desmon, there must be a good reason."

Jenny pricked her ears and listened to the conversation between the two. Of course, 'eating' continued. It's because you eat food with your mouth and listen to the other person's conversation with your ears.

They eat diligently, moving from one plate to another.

“The red-haired woman has lost consciousness.”

I was taken aback by the sudden sound.

“Keck!”

Jenny patted me on the chest and collapsed onto the table.

"Hey! Kimi-gwan!”

Surprised, Tenoch jumped up from his seat.

“Kimi Gwan… … !”

It was mayhem again. Of course he didn't lose consciousness like last time. anyway.

Maid White came closer to pick Jenny up. But Tenok was faster. He straightened her up and gave her a pat on the back.

“Kek, Kek!”

Even so, it was not easy to breathe.

“Call the imperial court.”

A low tone dictated.

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Then, Jenny jumped up. Then I put my forepaw on top of Tenoch's hand as he tapped me on the back.

'I'm fine now.'

He grabbed the man's hand and shook his head.

'If you do anything, call the imperial court.'

“Are you okay?”

'Even so.'

This time he nodded. Tenoch stared at him suspiciously, then sighed.

“I hear Kimi-gwan is fine. But just in case, the imperial palace doctor told me to stay on standby at all times.”

“I will tell you so, Your Majesty.”

Jenny tapped her chest with her dainty front paw and let out a big sigh.

'Ha, I tasted the Nether Road.'

Really, I thought I was going to the other world as my eyes were yellowing.

'By the way, if it's a red-haired woman, is it Loetta? Did she fall down?'

Jenny looked up at Tenoch and pursed her lips.

'Lo-e-ta-.'

However, no matter how big I tried to make my mouth look, the man didn't seem to understand at all.

Chet.

Jenny turned her gaze to Kyle, who was standing on one side and looking at me and the lord.

'you.'

Jenny extended her front leg and pointed at him.

'Say it.'

Then he pointed to Tenoch.

'Tell me what you were trying to say to Tenoch.'

"ah."

Did you understand?

“I will continue to post what I said earlier.”

As expected of someone who handles sharp swords, he wasn't quick-witted. Jenny listened quietly with her satisfied eyes.

“Among the slaves arrested at the auction, the red-haired woman Your Majesty won the bid for has lost consciousness.”

"Is the collapse of an imprisoned person important enough to interrupt the emperor's meal?"

Tenoch revealed his uncomfortable planting.

“How are you now?”

“There is nothing wrong with life.”

“But what is the problem?”

It was as if he didn't take the situation seriously at all.

'No, hey.'

Jenny was stunned. No matter how suspicious Loetta's appearance is, she is just a powerless woman who was sold as a slave.

But how hellish the situation in prison must have been, she would have collapsed unconscious.

Just as Jenny steps forward to intervene.

“At first, I thought it was a play for release, but during the investigation, I noticed something strange.”

"Details."

Tenoch only showed a little interest now.

“When imprisoned, items that could pose a threat are confiscated in advance to prevent self-harm. In addition, everyone wears restraints, so the radius of action is also not free. However, this restraint was missing.”

"has disappeared… … ? Aren't they released?"

“Yes, I couldn’t find restraints anywhere in the prison.”

As Kyle's report continued, Tenoch's handsome brows narrowed.

'What.'

A restraint is a device that prevents the body from moving. The disappearance of such a device was a strange situation even after hearing it by ear.

“What about the other inmates?”

“We have not found any suspicious circumstances.”

The emperor tapped the armrest with his long, straight fingers.

"I'll have to interrogate her first."

“I take orders.”

Kyle bowed politely to Tenoch. And as she turned to leave, her eyes crossed with Jenny's for a moment.

eyes penetrating each other. For a moment, Jenny felt a chill run down her spine.

Soon after, the man completely turned his back and left the restaurant.

Kong-dak-dak-dak. My heart was beating relentlessly. For some reason, an aura of uneasiness covered her whole body.

it would be just a joke. I must have heard a voice full of doubts a moment ago. Thinking, he turned his head toward Tenoch.

But this time, the emperor is watching me closely. Is it because of my mood that I seem to be uncomfortable somewhere?

'No, that's not important. Interrogation, interrogation... … ! Why my mistress!'

Jenny jumped up from her seat.

“Hit! (Talk to me!)”

“Bring paper and pen.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

An attendant nearby hurriedly brought what the emperor requested.

Jenny took the pen and wrote quickly.

square square.

[Why are you giving her a hard time?]

It's like a rabbit writing. It wasn't a scene you could easily watch. Everyone watched Jenny with awe-inspiring eyes.

“The restraints are gone.”

[No matter how it is!]

[Roeta is your… … !] (Loetta is yours...!)

“My what?”

Tenoch asked. However, the tip of the pen, which had been writing without hesitation, was just hesitating on the paper.

'What happened to the fiancé spelling?'

It's not a word I usually use often, so I couldn't come up with the word's spelling quickly.

'First, let's write it as it sounds.'

The hesitant pen moved cautiously.

[Fiance.]

“Fiancé… … ?”

Seeing those words, Tenoch's eyes were colored with a bit of bewilderment. And then the back story that follows.

“Assassin?”

***

“Why are you so sulky today?”

Tenoch, unable to understand her feelings, asked with an insensitive expression.

“If you are worried about the assassins, there is nothing to be afraid of. You are locked in a prison and under strict surveillance.”

At his words, Jenny, who had been pacing around the room, stood still. Then he stared relentlessly with red eyes.

No, I denied it so much, but are you still talking about assassins?

'Fiancé is an assassin.'

My head was pounding. It was like pouring oil into a drum rather than fanning a fire.

I didn't know that if this happened, the original female protagonist, who was innocent, would go through unnecessary hardships.

'Stop, no way...' … And, I'm not going to torture you... … ji?'

Ahh. Jenny twitched her mustache and cupped his head with his paws.

Loetta and Tenoch are supposed to fall in love. Only then will this novel not collapse and have a happy ending.

However, this less-than-sophisticated male protagonist seems to ruin everything.

no more... … .

'… … I can't let go like this.'

Jenny hopped to the door. She huddled herself in her place and spurred her body off the carpet
