“… … All I could think of was that I had to go to the slave dealer.”

"okay. You said you lost all your previous memories, is that true?

“… … Yes. I don't remember anything. Only the voice of someone who told me to go there is all I can remember.”

wait.

“A voice?”

Jenny asked. Loetta put his lips together again and nodded his head.

“What was that voice like? Can you explain? For example, gender... … .”

“… … It was a man.”

“Are you old enough?”

Loetta shook her head.

“I don’t know that far.”

“Please speak comfortably.”

She spoke in a timid voice.

“It was a voice that resonated as if he was talking to something. I can only guess that it is a man because it has a low voice range, but it may not actually be a man.”

Jenny nodded.

"Thank you for letting me know."

“… … Aren’t I more suspicious?”

Loetta asked with a worried expression. This time Jenny shook her head.

“You lost your memory. I'll help you. I will help you find where your home is, where you really come from.”

"really… … ?”

"sure."

Jenny laughed. Then she put her hand forward.

“Shall we be friends?”

“… … friend."

“We are friends, huh?”

Jenny's red eyes shone brightly. Loetta, who was staring into her eyes, finally held her hand.

 

***

 

“… … What did I hear now?”

Tenoch's brow narrowed finely. The hand that was bringing the small piece of steak to his mouth also stopped in place. That's why I couldn't understand what I was saying right now.

“It is literally. Free her loetta and let her stay in her castle. I want you to help me find her memories.”

“I sent it because I was going to investigate… … . I am full of spirits.”

My throat is blocked. Tenoch raised a glass of water to wash his cramped stomach. He took a few sips and then he asked again.

“Yes, you ask why I have to accommodate her so much.”

“Yeah… … .”

Jenny smiled.

“Because I decided to be friends with her.”

“… … What?"

Tenoch finally put down his fork.

“I still have doubts about the disappearance of the restraining ball. But I searched all over her jail cell and her VIP room where she stays and found no clues. What can she do? She is just a woman who has lost her memory.”

“You are naive.”

Tenoch said, wiping his lips with a napkin.

“Or is it simple?”

“I like either way.”

It wasn't much of a compliment, but Jenny laughs. She was a truly incomprehensible woman.

“What if I don’t allow it?”

“Hing.”

Tenoch doubted his ears.

What did I just hear?

He stared at the woman sitting across from him with startled eyes. Jenny said, sticking out her pouty lips.

“Please pass on the surroundings.”

“… … .”

Tenoch beckoned. All the attendants who were waiting nearby immediately went out the door.

Tenoch and Jenny were alone in the dining room now. She pursed her lips and let out another disgruntled noise.

"Too bad."

When I made a ridiculous expression, Jenny shot at me.

“I blew myself away and lifted your curse.”

“… … I am grateful for that.”

"But can't you just listen to one request like this?"

"Even though… … .”

"Coward."

"What?"

Suddenly, I felt a heat rise in the back of my neck. How dare you call the Emperor of the Great Aphelode a coward?

“You are just a woman. What are you afraid of?”

“Yeah… … .”

Tenoch pondered his thoughts to follow up. But what is he really afraid of?

At first, he was locked up because he was a witness at the scene. Oh, of course, I didn't want to see him flirting in front of me.

After that, I actually forgot. After arresting the slave traders and aristocrats at the auction house, the next task was to be dealt with by the judiciary.

However, the moment Jenny realized that the place she had run away from and found was that woman named Loetta, strangely, unbearable anger arose.

Also, I didn't like the way she kept mentioning her.

That's it. really.

"Not at all."

Tenoch replied firmly.

“What am I afraid of?”

"right? Then you can do me a favor like this.”

“… … .”

To be honest, I don't like it. But I hate being a coward even more.

"Of course."

“Kyaa.”

What is so good? When permission was granted, Jenny burst into cheers. Then he raises his thumb.

“… … What expression?”

“It’s the best.”

"Right."

Seeing how happy she was, I thought it was a good idea to allow it.

yes, just a woman She is a woman with no powers or memory. She wondered what she could do.

It was a time when I was looking for an excuse for myself.

“There, but.”

Jenny opened her mouth with a slightly flushed face. Tenoch twitched his eyebrows and asked why.

“Are you leaving that steak?”

The woman's gaze was fixed on the plate in front of Tenoch. She had a really great appetite.

How can I still not gain weight? It was amazing.

“Tell me to get a new plate.”

"no!"

He was about to call an attendant, but Jenny stopped him abruptly.

“They said I would eat them if they left them. It's a waste of meat to make food waste.”

The way he licks his lips seems to be lacking... … .

“Do you just eat the new one?”

"I'm afraid someone isn't the emperor, he doesn't know how precious meat is."

“Okay, stop being sarcastic.”

Tenoch pushed the plate in front of me towards Jenny.

"Oh yea."

The expression on her face as she sliced ​​the remaining steak and brought it to her mouth looked so excited. Tenoch, who was watching her with his arms around her, opened her mouth again at her sudden thought.

“Do you know how to dance?”

Jenny, who was busy moving her mouth at his question, widened her eyes. Then, immediately, he shook his head.

“Soon there will be a ball.”

“What-? Coke, Coke.”

"Hey. Are you okay?”

she groaned all the time. Tenoch took out her handkerchief and stood up.

“I always eat too fast. I need to learn to eat slowly.”

"Oh, I'm out of breath."

Jenny, who took the handkerchief he handed over, pressed her reddened eyes and exhaled.

"It's because of you."

“What am I… … ?”

Tenoch, who was about to sit down again, was embarrassed by the sudden resentment.

“I was surprised that you brought up the prom all of a sudden.”

“Is it the bad side?”

"No way!"

Jenny put down her fork and covered her cheeks.

“It was the moment I had been dreaming of.”

"okay?"

It was a pleasant sound to hear.

“Can I attend too?”

“If you want.”

“Of course I want to! You just turned into a human! Wearing a fancy dress... … Huh, am I a debutant?”

“… … What?"

Tenoch's expression cooled.

Debutant. Simply put, it is a social event that is introduced to high society for the first time. At this event, young upper-class people search for partners and even find their spouses.

Although Jenny was not a noble, her appearance was unique. Besides, since she has the title of Emperor Kimi-gwan, she might think it's okay to hang out for a day or so.

Thinking of the aristocrats crowding around Jenny made me feel uncomfortable.

'Should I just cancel it?'

Tenoch tapped his forehead with his fingertips.

“A prom! It's thrilling just thinking about it!”

However, looking at Jenny's excitement, it seemed that it was already too late to do something that hadn't happened. If so, there was only one way.

“There is no debutant.”

“Eh? why?"

“This ball is a masquerade ball with a partner.”

Of course, it was decided a little while ago.

 

***

 

Leaving behind Tenoch, who left for the conference hall saying there was a cabinet meeting, Jenny headed to the second floor where her bedroom was.

But as I climbed the stairs, the noise grew louder and louder.

“What are you all doing… … ?”

Her bedroom was a mess. To be precise, the wall is open.

One of the workers answered her question.

“It is the order of His Majesty the Emperor.”

“… … You want me to destroy my room?”

“I was ordered to tear down three rooms and make them one.”

“… … why?"

“We don't even know that. I just have to follow the instructions.”

Jenny, who also couldn't figure out the reason, had no choice but to stare blankly at the dusty room.

“Jenny! You are here.”

Just then, the maid Snow recognized her and came closer.

“I have a place to go.”

“Where are you?”

“The cutting room.”

“Cutting room?”

“Yes, Your Majesty instructed. Make a dress for Jenny to wear to the prom. Let's go.”

It was Snow who seemed excited. Jenny followed her in her steps.

The inside of the cutting room I arrived at was very colossal. Colorful dresses on mannequins and fabrics filling the walls.

It was very eye-opening.

"welcome."

A woman who seemed to be a designer greeted me. She led Jenny onto the podium in the middle.

The tailor, who had a tape measure around her neck, came over as if he had been waiting and groped her body.

“Raise your arms.”

After taking measurements here and there, she dipped a quill in ink and wrote it down on parchment.

 

After taking measurements, the designer who was waiting said, “Come on, this way,” and pulled Jenny over. Following that touch, Jenny was helplessly seated on the sofa.
