0.19. Fiancé is an assassin (2)

It was very easy to hold the doorknob like that, but there was no way the door would open.

Jenny was hanging dangling from the door, whimpering. Tenoch, who had been leaning against the head of the bed, slowly raised himself.

“What are you doing?”

'What are you doing! They're trying to open the door!'

The hairy feet slipped all the way without being able to turn the smooth handle.

'Ugh, it's frustrating! A body that can't open a door on its own!'

The small body crashed to the ground. Jenny jumped to grab his grip once again.

chin.

But, somehow, I was caught. The owner of the hand could be known without looking back. It was a very familiar temperature and feel.

“Do you want to open the door?”

'okay!'

Jenny pointed at the door with her paw stretched out.

'Now, open it, right now!'

As if her threat had worked, Tenok opened the door.

“Do you want to go for a walk tonight? Or maybe you're already hungry... … .”

I didn't even listen to Tenoch's words. Jenny twisted and slipped out of his arms.

“Hey, hey… … !”

Embarrassed Tenoch didn't even look at it, and Jenny slipped through the open door and landed in the long hallway.

There was thick darkness in the hallway. A lantern hanging on the wall was the only light. I looked left and right with dark eyes. I also pricked up my ears.

After checking the surroundings, Jenny ran down the hallway.

“Kimi Hall!”

Despite Tenoch's call, she continued to advance. After passing the statues erected throughout the hallway several times, a staircase leading down appeared.

Jenny hopped down the stairs.

Just as they settled down on the first floor, a maid entered the building where the Emperor's bed was located.

'Oh, my God... … !'

It wasn't that there was no separate god to believe in, but it was an exquisite moment enough to find a god that didn't exist. Jenny quickly jumped through the crack in the open door.

The moment the body was completely out, the door closed heavily again.

'Oh, out of breath.'

I was running so fast that I was out of breath. Jenny let out a rough breath.

After taking in a few breaths, I stretched my body straight out of my standing position. She was looking around.

A cool night breeze blows her silver hair. The cool feeling clears my mind.

The place where she is now is the small garden in front of the building, the place where she took a walk with Tenoch not too long ago.

I succeeded in escaping from the room... … .

'… … How do you find a prison?'

There was no way to put criminals near the emperor's bed. It's probably the farthest from here and the most remote place.

First of all, it would be good to find out where the SS are located. Jenny ran all the way along the central stone road.

I ran across the garden tree, around the fountain, and ran again. Then the Hwang Seong main building appeared.

Jenny quickly turned to the right. And he ran again along the wall of the building.

How far did you run? I could feel the presence at the end of the corner. Jenny hid herself behind a low round garden tree.

"Hey. It’s shift time.”

“Why did you come 10 minutes early?”

“Didn’t you say you weren’t feeling well today? Don't worry, go in and rest.”

It was a conversation between the guards guarding the castle. They seemed pretty friendly. As the shift guard stood in his seat, the guards who had finished their shift thanked them and headed to their lodgings.

'Right.'

Jenny secretly followed him, hiding in the bushes. If he did well, he might find a place for military police and imperial guards to stay.

The man walked for a while. She sometimes let her yawn go and muttered a song humming as she looked at the moon.

The song was so hard to hear that I wanted to scold him for being tone deaf, but thanks to that, the sound of my footsteps was drowned out. Jenny let go of her guard a little and hopped.

after a while

'This is it.'

We arrived at the quarters where the guards were staying. Jenny hid herself behind a tree and quietly watched her movements.

If I were a squirrel and not a rabbit. If so, it would be easier to climb a tree and look around... … .

'… … Oh my, I must be crazy! A squirrel, there's nothing I can't say.'

She was startled and jumped up from her spot. What does a squirrel mean after being possessed by a rabbit who possesses detoxification and healing abilities and looks like a goddess?

'I can't humanize myself, but... … .'

Great, anyway.

It was then. The door to the dorm opened, and someone walked out from the inside. Jenny pokes out her eyes and examines who her opponent is.

'Oh yea.'

Then I called for joy in my heart. It was because the person who appeared was the bodyguard commander Kyle Desmon whom he had seen in the dining room a few hours ago.

Two men were behind him. The three of them walked along the long stone road with a hectic pace.

'Am I going to Loetta?'

The space was no longer tightly packed with garden trees, so I was cautious in my movements. But if I let them go now, I felt like I would lose my chance to find Loetta forever.

They hopped in the direction they were heading. I flew lightly and landed lightly, repeating, when I heard the voices of the men in front of me.

“Are you awake?”

“Yes, but they say they are still silent.”

“Don’t rush.”

The content of the conversation seemed to be Loetta.

***

His backbone pulled as if he had been hit in the head by someone. Also, I felt something filling up inside me, as if a hot lump was rising up my throat.

"her… … .”

Is the expression of being stabbed in the foot by an ax you believe in?

“From me now… … .”

I opened the door as I wanted, and it escaped from my arms and ran away.

“Run away… … ?”

He glared fiercely at the corridor where Jenny was running. I couldn't figure out why I was so angry.

No, I don't know what.

"dare."

Dare to run away from me

That fact alone was enough reason for Tenoch to be angry. Because he was a normal person.

There are nobles who couldn't swing me around, but he fought them alone, even bearing the title of tyrant.

It was said that he had never acknowledged anything that went against me in his life.

Let alone a rabbit, what can I say? Of course, Jenny was not a rabbit, but a rabbit beast.

Anyway, it was she who said that she would stay in the castle first. But like this... … .

“… … abandon me?”

The feeling of defeat is indescribable. Tenoch strode down the long hallway.

Then growled, “Is anyone there!”

“Your Majesty, did you find it?”

The chief chamberlain, who was waiting down the hallway, jumped up in surprise.

“Did you see Kim Kwan?”

“I’m sorry. I didn't see it.”

The chief chamberlain simply bowed his head. Tenoch's handsome brow wrinkled even deeper.

“Find her by any means necessary.”

“Yes, Peha!”

Upon receiving the mission, the chief chamberlain withdrew from his seat with a determined expression.

***

'Let's see, let's see.'

It was good to follow Kyle and find the prison, but there were four guards standing guard at the entrance.

Besides, there were sentries standing at regular intervals along the wall, so it was close to impossible to sneak in through the back door.

It was better to go head-to-head rather than being caught clumsily.

Just then, the entrance door opened slowly. Jenny pushed her concealed body out of the shadows and galloped forward.

"uh?"

A guard immediately spotted her.

“Kimi-kwan?”

Kyle's footsteps, which were moving inside, stopped abruptly. There was a lot of doubt in the gaze that turned to Jenny.

Kyle turned around and walked away.

Jenny crouched on her hind legs and sat upright.

“Why are you here, Mr. Kimi?”

When asked, she tapped my chest with her paw.

Kyle interpreted.

"me."

Next, he stretched out his leg and pointed to the prison entrance.

"Go in?"

That's right. better than the emperor How can you have a conversation with such simple gestures? how cool is that

Jenny suddenly nodded. But what comes back is disappointing.

"no."

“Kieng! (Why not!)”

She patted the ground with her hind feet, expressing her displeasure. But the man was adamant.

“You are His Majesty's dedicated Kimmi-gwan. If there is any problem with the person, the sin cannot be repaid even with life. Especially since you said that the red-haired woman might be an assassin, she should be extra safe.”

'ha.'

Fiancée is not an assassin. He denied it with all his body. You still babble about that!

So, what's the difference?

Jenny nodded. Then he put strength on his back foot and ran as it was.

“Hey, Kimi-gwan-nim… … !”

Rabbits are fast. A lot of it too. While the men panicked and wandered around. Jenny slid through the half-open entrance door of the prison.

swish, swish. When I turn my head, I see a panoramic view of a typical prison divided into compartments.

Inside each room were prisoners whose hands were clamped in restraints. In a space mixed with nobles, slavers, and slaves, Jenny hopped around to find Loetta.

"uh? Isn't that a rabbit?"

“Why is there a rabbit here?”

A small commotion could be felt among the prisoners.

Either that or not.

Jenny continued to run. And in the first prison just around the corner, he was able to find the Loetta he was looking for so much.
