“Is he eating well?”

“Yes. He said he wouldn’t refuse after the Princess had gone.”

A few days passed.

Fortunately, Sian seemed to be receiving treatment without any problems.

“But the strange thing is, he asks how much of each food he eats.”

“…Really?”

“He must have had a trauma at that young age. After all, Viscount Shrek’s abuse of power must have been the problem, right?”

Lisa clenched her fists and opened her triangular eyes.

It seemed like Sian was being stepped on because he was my age.

Winceㅡ

I flinched slightly at her bloody spirit and turned away from her.

“That’s right! Viscount Shrek is bad!”

It feels like I somehow became a provider of his trauma.

Yet in that situation, there was nothing I could do.

‘Because if I didn’t do anything, Sian would collapse right away.’

From the time he was confined to the underground dungeon, his body was in serious trouble.

He was struggling to breathe.

But since he was even beaten, he should be thankful that he didn’t die.

“If you’re worried, shall we stop by his room for a minute?”

When Lisa, who was holding my hand, asked as she walked down the hallway, I shook my head.

“Not yet.”

Of course I wanted to go.

However, Sian, who looked confused, seemed to need some time alone now.

‘…To think that you consider the other person’s feelings. Billishia, a woman like you.’

Flutterㅡ 

A. Kind. Wo. Man.

Touched by my own kindness and generosity, I held my tongue tight.

[So, you, Billishia… Of all things… That means you’re the Princess.]

But last night.

Sian’s reaction was strange.

In my experience, it was normal for the other side to bow their heads when they realized I was a noble.

Yet he didn’t.

The black eyes that rippled were entangling me to the extent of persistence.

‘I feel like his expression has hardened as I’m from the Vallois family..’

Of course, it was most likely an illusion.

From Sian’s point of view, it was right to dislike the Eillian family more than Vallois.

Maybe it’s because his trauma of the nobility is deep?

Rumble!

It was then.

The windows in the long hallway were brightened then darkened.

Suddenly, a heavy silence fell as thunder ripped through the sky.

As Lisa, who looked slightly surprised, grabbed my hand, the sound of rain pattering outside the window filled the hallway.

“…Our Baby Princess, are you scawed?”

“?”

“Because Baby Princess is scared, shouwd Lisa hug you?”

I was standing there, yet my legs supporting the floor floated in the air and I felt a warm embrace.

Satisfying her own selfish desires with the pretext of thunder, Lisa walked down the aisle with her mouth hanging in my ears.

‘There’s not much damage anymore.’

Resisting is pointless.

With a face like a Tibetan fox, I obediently leaned my cheek against her chest.

“Our Baby Princess, because you are scared, do you want to dwink cocoa with Lisa?”

I shook my head like a machine and ignored Lisa.

‘It’s about time.’

But Lisa wasn’t the one I need to worry about right now.

At the predicted time, I quietly raised my eyes.

It was like that in my previous life too.

It rained like this and thunder came.

‘And around the time of thunder.’

“Baby Princess, are you ignoring Lisa and snoring?”

The moment Lisa passed the hallway humming a songㅡ  

“!”

As the thunder raged, a black figure flashed through the cracks in the open door.

A dark figure with a fairly broad back was secretly prying over papers.

‘As expected, it’s the same as in my previous life.’

The true identity of the black figure was Agasa.

I closed my eyes tightly.

“Lisa.”

“Yes, Princess.”

“…It’s truly Agasa.”

Lisa’s hum cut off at my words.

“Now act according to plan.”

“… Yes, Princess.”

Lisa’s eyes flashed bleakly as she turned her head away.

***

Early in the morning of that dayㅡ  

[2 o’clock in the morning, isn’t it? I’ll be waiting in advance, Princess.]

With my trustworthy entourage behind me, my plan was progressing steadily.

That is, if I don’t sleep until 2 o’clock in the morning.

“Yawn.”

I forcibly lifted my eyelids with my maple leaf fingers.

“I’m sleepy. Yaawn.”

Normally, I would have gone to sleep saying, “Ah, I don’t know.”

There was a reason why I clenched my teeth and endured this.

‘Because I don’t want to be executed!’

The present that couldn’t prevent Cassis from going to the Tundra islands.

At this rate, the Vallois family would be 100% executed along with the extinction.

Realizing there was nowhere to retreat, my purple eyes cooled.

‘I can’t fail this time.’

If I couldn’t stop Dad, I had to stop what was happening in my family.

‘And Agasa is at the center of future disasters.’

Flutter, flutterㅡ  

I put my chin on my hand and suddenly lowered my head.

A thin, transparent thread moved under the small shoes I had been wearing beforehand.

The mouse-shaped paper attached to the thread swayed from side to side.

“…It started.”

The mouse moving means that Agasa finished his shift and went back.

It was Lisa’s signal that had been put together in advance.

Ta-ta-ta-ta-taㅡ

It was fortunate that it was still raining.

If the sound of rain hides my footsteps, he won’t hear it.

I sneaked up to the 7th floor.

Hurrily.

Then I hid behind a wall and fled near the office.

[After shaking the rat, I’ll be right back. If you run into Sir Agasa while wandering around, your plans may be disrupted.]

As expected of Lisa.

Using the ability of the shadow that stalked me like this, she couldn’t help but to be a coveted talent.

‘If things go well, I’ll have to share the pocket money from my direct maintenance cost.’

Having made up my mind to praise her as much as I could as a five-year-old, I took a step forward.

Clackㅡ

I pulled the doorknob of the office with my tiptoe, and a room covered with shadows appeared.

Antique walnut desk.

Uninterpretable ancient books and old but good quality leather sofas.

The moonlight lightly descended on it, sparkled as it drew a line.

‘I’ll have to finish it quickly.’

Without hesitation, I opened the second compartment of the desk drawer and lifted a stack of papers.

“…Ouch!”

I was just trying to pull out a piece.

Dozens of papers accidentally spilled onto the floor.

‘Well, what can I do? Agasa will clean it up.’

It was unfortunate that Agasa’s chores increased, but our family is more important.

I pushed the paper one by one and checked it carefully.

Documents written in a unique style stood out.

“This is it…”

I grabbed a piece of paper with both hands.

Looking at the agenda, I felt strange as if I had gone back to the past.

‘A bill to cut off Law Kingdom’s funds.’

Normally, Agasa was in charge of regular meetings of Vallois on behalf of Cassis.

And around this time.

Among Vallois collaterals and vassals, there is an opinion to cut off the funds of the Law Kingdom.

‘Of course. Right now, the kingdom is cutting off communication with us.’

Starting from 2 years ago.

A war broke out between the Law Kingdom and the Rolls Empire.

The two factions that were usually in contact with the border area.

The starting point was a war of nerves over territorial rights.

And, of course, the family that oversaw the war was Vallois family, which was created based on military power.

Cassis won easily.

It is said that at the time, being crazy about Mom’s whereabouts was a big factor.

As a result, now.

‘The Law Kingdom sent the male lead, Peter, as a hostage to the Rolls Empire.’

It was good so far.

However, the problem is that the Law Kingdom cut off communication with the Rolls Empire after that.

‘Was Peter thrown away because he was a half prince’

Even though he’s a child, they threw him away like garbage and said they didn’t know him.

‘It’s only natural that Vallois wants to cut off the fund because they can’t communicate with each other anyway.’

If the Vallois family cuts off the fund, the rest of the families will cut off the fund one after another.

Although desirable for now.

In the distant future, things went wrong when the male lead, Peter, became the Emperor of the Rolls Empire.

The first purge of him who swallowed the Rolls Empire will be headed to Vallois.

‘If this agenda goes through, it will never happen.’

The Law kingdom’s fund-related meeting was held at the regular meeting of Vallois.

Therefore, this agenda, written in Cassis’s handwriting, had to be hidden.

‘If that happens, the case will be put on hold, at least until Dad returns.’

Just remove this.

The white pupils, who were glaring at the agenda as if to kill, stood bloodshot.

… Just get rid of this guy!

“What am I hiding? I’ll tear it up right now… Kyaaaaaaa!”

It was the moment to save the Vallois family.

“I got you, Miss Baby.”

Let’s turn my head around.

Before I knew it, Agasa lifted my armpits with both hands and smiled coolly.

“To think that you’re going to tear up Vallois’ top secret documents.”

“…Aga?”

“Yes, this is Aga. Miss Baby.”

Calm blue eyes slowly descended and focused on the agenda I was holding.

“How dare you snatch the Princess from Vallois! Where are the guards!”

Damn, I underestimated Agasa.

I’m ruined.

From now on, I can lose nothing, anyway.

I screamed as I struggled with my arms and legs, and in half a second the door opened and Lisa appeared holding a double sword.

“M-Miss Billie… Ah, Sir Agasa…?”

“I caught the thief trying to steal Vallois’ agenda, Miss Lisa. Our plan worked.”

“Plan…?”

Plan, he said? If it’s a plan, Lisa and I have planned it in advance…

“!”

I didn’t understand, so I looked at Lisa.

When her eyes met mine, her gaze wavered anxiously.

No way.

Lisa betrayed me?

“…Lisa?”

It felt like I was being knocked to the floor.

To the extent that I couldn’t resist Agasa and my body drooped.

“No way, Lisa? Lisa is always on my side!”

“Yes. We’re always on your side. But Miss Lisa is an adult unlike Miss Baby.”

Snapㅡ

Hearing the word ‘adult’, I, who hadn’t been able to escape the teenage years for 100 lifetimes, glared at Agasa.

“Lisa is trying to be a good guardian for the baby. Are you an adult… .”

“Chomp.”

“Aakh.”

I chewed on Agasa’s finger, whose mouth was agitated, and then spat it out.

With tears in his eyes, he stared mournfully at his reddened finger.

“Lisa. Is Aga plotting a frame?”

I don’t believe in rumors from cunning people.

What matters is the truth that comes out of your mouth.

“Lisa. Hit him in the head with the double sword.”

“A finger bitten by Miss Baby is enough…”

“Chomp.”

“Aaakh.”

Suddenly losing his thumb and middle finger, Agasa finally shut his mouth.

“Lisa?”

“P-Princess…”

Let your eyes shine with a look that induces sympathy.

Lisa faltered for a moment, as if her mind had really weakened.

Butㅡ

“I-I-I apologize, Princess.”

“Lisa?”

“Like Sir Agasa said, Princess is still five years old. I’m a maid of Vallois. The princess who destroys t-the 1st classified documents…”

“…Lisa.”

Are you abandoning me?

“Lisaaaaa!”

Lisa, who eventually burst into tears at my cries, ran out of the room.

It was the castle of Vallois, stained by her intrigues and betrayals.
