“It’s owkay becauwse in the ewnd, you’ve cwome. I know thwat big bwothews and the Gwand Duke would come!”
(It’s okay because in the end, you’ve come. I know that big brothers and the Grand Duke would come!)

It was a strange belief to look back on.

We barely lived together.

I’m in a different position and I had some kind of trust between his sons.

Nevertheless, the image of the Great Duke who worried about me was real.

Wyndert also chose me in hell.

It was the same for Deleign who is trying to take care of me.

I felt like this a few times, I thought “I’m hopeless”

In fact, it’s a dangerous idea for an orphan like me to have.

‘As expected… I hate myself for being powerless.’

This time, I managed to get away because the Grand Duke’s people protected me.

To be honest, the attack of the wizard was also poor.

Probably because the Empress did not think of the variable. No one would have expected the Grand Duke to be interested in me.

Perhaps even after knowing this, the Empress will ignore it and do something similar again.

But then what? What should I do when the Grand Duke cannot protect me?

What should I do if the Empress tries to sink the Grand Duke with me?

“Shushu, get down here.”

Wyndert laid me on the bed, arriving in the room while I was thinking.

Then Deleign patted me on the cheek.

“You must have been surprised. You’re safe now. I’ll watch you until you fall asleep, so let’s take a nap.”

As he said, they came with a stool and huddled next to the bed.

I thought I’d watch it till I really fell asleep.

“But big bwothew is busy…”

I murmured softly.

In particular, Wyndert is likely to focus on his studies.

“What’s the big deal when you’re so surprised? Your heart is still pounding.”

Deleign shook his head and grumbled at my words.

“So how did big bwothews knew I was thewe?”

How the heck did they know I was in that alley?

At my question, Deleign and Wyndert’s expression was slightly ambiguous.

“Well, I just felt it.”

“I did, but my father and my brother pointed to the same place.”

Are the people of the Grand Duke born with intuition?

I blinked at the unexpected remark.

“Well, that’s enough. Your heart hasn’t died down yet.”

Wyndert whispered with a determined face.

That’s right. My heart kept pounding. I felt uncomfortable because I didn’t calm down when I was running fast in a state of tension.

‘I’m scared.’

The Empress is not an easy opponent.

First of all, being the Royal Family is the biggest weapon.
