After a simple breakfast, Jenny went out to meet Loetta right away.

“We will see you.”

"It's okay. You said it was that building over there? It will be soon if you follow along.”

Snow and White offered to lead the way, but declined because they didn't want to bother them.

“Yeah, but over there… … !”

Wanting to catch up, Jenny hurriedly turned around.

The accommodation building where guests stay was the third building to the left from where they are now. Of course, the garden was decorated in the middle, so it wasn't close in terms of distance, but I decided to take a walk and walk slowly.

But how long did it take

“Where the hell is this?”

She got lost in a good way.

"no… … .”

I must have walked in a straight line along the road, but why did the building in front of me disappear?

In front of her, only garden trees, garden trees, and garden trees filled the space tightly.

"It's a ghost to weep."

No matter how close her sense of direction was to her, it was absurd to even think about it.

I belatedly looked around to ask for help, but I couldn't feel anything except for the chirping of birds.

“It’s ruined.”

ruined. Is there any star though? Jenny continued to walk forward. I wondered if something would come out while walking.

Then, a whistle sounded from somewhere.

“Is anyone there?”

After walking a little further along the soft and fine melody, I saw a man sitting on a bench on one side with his eyes closed.

Platinum hair, as if the moonlight had fallen on it, fluttered gently in the wind. A high nose, deep eyes, and a fine face. If there was an ancient elf in front of me, I thought it would be like him.

The man slowly raised his eyelids. The color of her eyes was closer to the sea than the sky.

Those blue eyes recognized Jenny. Her man slowly rose from her seat and came towards her.

“Are you lost?”

How did you know? Do you think I am lost?

“… … Yeah? yes."

Jenny stroked my face with her fingertips for no reason, and the man said.

“This is a labyrinth garden.”

“A maze garden?”

"That's right. It was created for the purpose of wasting time in the event of an intruder in the imperial castle.”

"No wonder… … . No matter how dark my eyes are, I'm not this messed up.”

"sure. It is a place where courtiers often wander.”

A man comforted her. Jenny, who had fallen into a vague sense of self-doubt, was grateful for the comfort. She raised the corners of her mouth and smiled.

A man introduced me.

“Your introduction is late. My name is Roan Wurth.”

"OMG… … .”

An exclamation of bewilderment escaped from between his parted lips.

There was a reason why it had to be. He's... … .

'Supnam's appearance!'

In <The Tyrant's Ugly Bride>, he was the sub male lead who had a crush on Loetta.

Roan, who has a warm impression and personality like the sun, instantly captured women's hearts with his opposite charm to Tenoch.

no, but Is such a sudden appearance possible?

He was the Grand Duke of the South. An area quite far from the capital, Te Apelod. His first appearance was at a ball hosted by the male protagonist, Tenoch, for the female protagonist, Loetta.

I was alone in my thoughts, but Roan asked me with a gentle smile.

“May I ask the lady’s name?”

“Oh, just call me Jenny.”

“That is a very beautiful name. It suits you very well.”

After saying that, he gently took his hand and pressed his lips lightly over the back of his hand.

In an instant, I felt heat rise in the back of my neck. Embarrassed, Jenny suddenly pulled her hand and brought it.

"I'm guessing you're not used to Southern greetings."

Roan raised the corners of his mouth gently and stood up.

It felt like it was getting red from the nape of my neck to my ears and cheeks. She roughly averted her gaze.

“I’m sorry if you felt uncomfortable.”

"It's okay."

Jenny was still staring into the distance.

“May I guide you?”

"Oh."

I forgot that I was lost in a sudden situation. Jenny turned her gaze back to Duke Würth and gave him a small nod.

“I am looking for accommodation.”

“That’s where I came from.”

It was only natural that he would be staying in the VIP room. In addition to the thought of being fortunate, I wondered why he, his guest, was in the maze garden.

“But why are you in this maze?”

Roan answered Jenny's question without hesitation.

“It is a hobby.”

“… … A hobby?”

Jenny's expression must have changed quite strangely, and the other person laughed out loud.

"ha ha ha. You don't see anything so strange.”

“It is strange.”

“The most quiet space in the imperial castle is this labyrinth garden. It would be the best place to take a walk and be immersed in contemplation.”

It couldn't have been a very strange hobby. Then what if I get lost?

"It's a place I've been looking for since I was young, so you don't have to worry about getting lost."

“I'm glad then. It's because I have to take care of it.”

“Welcome.”

The man smiled again.

Roan took the lead, followed by Jenny. As he boasted, Roan had a clear understanding of the labyrinth as if he could see the front yard of his house.

I was able to get out of the old maze by walking along with him. Right in front of it was the residence building.

According to Roan, most of the guests and courtiers took a long walk around the labyrinth garden.

The faces of Snow and White, who were desperately trying to catch her at the end, came to mind. He was probably trying to tell you about the maze garden.

“As expected, you have to listen to Korean until the end.”

Talking to herself, Roan said, “Korean?” he asks.

Oh, after all, it's not Korean. anyway.

Jenny roughly covered the situation with a smile and thanked him.

“I’ll just go in.”

“See you again.”

Roan said regretfully. Jenny waved lightly at him.

Now, really, it's time to go see Loetta.

Upon entering the entrance, the first thing that caught my eye was the dignified back of a man. The one with dark brown hair and a sword must have been Captain Kyle.

“I have been contacted in advance.”

Kyle recognized Jenny and approached her.

“Your Majesty has ordered us to come together in preparation for any unforeseen threat.”

"It's okay."

“I follow Your Majesty's orders.”

Kyle was adamant.

'Baby, I'm not flexible.'

Jenny pursed her lips and followed Kyle as he headed straight for the stairs.

Loetta was in the last room on the third floor of the lodging building. The room was closely monitored by military police.

I was about to step on the third floor and move forward, but the tightly closed door opened, revealing a familiar figure.

“Aide? What's going on here?"

The one who appeared was Recardo. He answered Kyle's question with a calm expression.

“After returning from vacation, I heard about the commotion yesterday. That's why I stopped by to assess the situation before meeting His Majesty.”

“I see.”

"then."

After that, Recardo gave a small sigh. Before stepping on the stairs, Jenny's eyes met for a moment, but that was it.

Recardo leisurely stepped down the stairs.

Kyle asked.

“Shall we go in too?”

"like."

After recognizing Kyle, the military officer saluted him, then turned around and knocked on the door. As soon as I heard the word “yes” from inside, I immediately opened the door wide.

The room was spacious. Antique furniture such as beds and tables are harmoniously decorated.

Loetta was sitting on the sofa in the center of the room. As Jenny and Kyle enter, she slowly raises her body.

'Wow… … .'

There are no dolls. Jenny couldn't help but admire. Kyle stood by and said "Hmm." He continued to stare at Loetta before clearing her throat.

The three of them sat down.

“My name is Jenny.”

“… … This is Loetta.”

"Nice to meet you. Seeing it in such a bright place... … .”

Loetta blinked her eyes as she murmured.

"You are pretty."

Jennie smiled softly as she concluded her words. At that, the opponent blushes as if embarrassed.

“Is the new place comfortable to live in?”

Again, Jenny asked the question first. Loetta replied with a silent nod.

“Everyone is suspicious of your appearance. Especially this one.”

Jenny nodded and pointed at the guards commander sitting next to her. Kyle didn't deny it.

“They say you were enslaved, is that true?”

“… … Right."

“Why?”

“… … I don't remember.”

Perhaps uneasy, Loetta's purple eyes, which were looking straight ahead, soon turned downward. His bony hands gripped the hem of her dress.

Jenny soothed her with a benevolent voice.

"Do not worry. I am not here to interrogate you.”

“… … .”

“I want to help you. I will help prove you innocent.”

 

Did Jenny's sincere appeal work? After a while, the lips that seemed like they wouldn't open slowly parted.
