It was Renald who came to his senses first. “Father!”

He ran toward the walking duke.

I also followed him with a puzzled look.

“Father, what the hell is going on? What about the monster? Did the scary girl just let you go?” Renold shakes the duke with no time to rest.

“That”

As soon as the duke was about to open his mouth, gasping for breath. “Come here, princess.”

At the same time as the cold voice, the Crown Prince drew me and hid me behind him. Srrrung–And without a moment to spare, he pulled out a sword and aimed it at the Duke. “What are you doing!”

“Your, Your Highness! Come on!”

I was shocked. It was needless to say, Renald.

The Duke’s face, which had just returned, turned muddy.

The Crown Prince, who raised the sword as high as he would cut him right away, soon tilted the blade obliquely.

And.

“It’s a Duke.”

Calisto, who seemed to have checked something, soon dropped his sword neatly.

“What are you doing, Your Highness? No matter how much I ask you not to do, I am very

displeased.”

The Duke quenched his anger and asked the Crown Prince.

“You said it doesn’t show in the water or in the mirror. Don’t be too angry, Duke, just to make sure it’s not Leila.”

The Crown Prince shrugged with a brazen face, hiding his atrocious rudeness a moment ago. It made me understand why he acted like that.

At the moment, I wondered if he had an eye for blood like in a game setting. ‘You said you were going to be a perfect emperor, you madman!’ Fortunately, the Duke also said with a puzzled look, as if he was convinced.

“Ididn’t even meet Leila. Maybe she didn’t even know I was gone from the belly.”

“How did you get back?”

Only then the Crown Prince ask the main point. The Duke turned to me instead of answering.

Then he took something out from the inside of his jacket and handed it to me.

“Your foresight was right, Penelope.” “This”

Recognizing that what was placed on the duke’s palm, I opened my eyes wide. A thin round shape discolored as burnt.

It was the amulet that I presented to the Duke before the hunting competition.

“As soon as the stomach acid of the monster touched my body, it activates again. When I opened my eyes, it was the forest of the mansion.”

The Duke explained the whole story. But it didn’t touch my ears. More than that…….

“Have youhad this all this time?”

“Well, it’s a gift from someone.”

The Duke replied as if it were natural.

At the same time, I felt my face twisted strangely. I had completely forgotten since then.

Unlike the Crown Prince, who was always suffering from assassination, the Duke was never in danger. ‘I thought you’d throw it away or put it somewhere.’

That’s not what I expected.

“I haven’t taken it off my body for a second since I received it from you, and I’m glad I did.” The Duke’s face, which looked at the worn-out amulet, was filled with a satisfied smile.
