NovelEnglishWe negotiated for a while after that, but the boy never once opened up.
I left the dungeon without being able to persuade them. I should go to Vian’s place soon. It was already late.
As I was walking a little faster through the palace, Victor walked right in front of me with a terrible look on his face.
What? Why were you so angry?
I spun around reflexively and retraced my steps back the way I came.
“Hey, wait!”
Victor’s voice echoed through the hallway, and I could hear his shoes getting closer and closer.
“Why are you chasing me!”
“Why are you running away?”

As I turned around, I raised my voice. And then he quickly caught up to me. He grabbed my arm as hard as he could, and I yelled at him.
“What do you want?”
“Have you already forgotten your promise?”
I didn’t remember making any promises to Victor. I tilted my head back. He sighed heavily.
“You’ve been sleeping in the cabin for the last few nights, haven’t you?”
“Yes.”
“Have you already forgotten what I said about sleeping in my room?”
“Ah!”
Oh, I remembered that we had talked about that, and because of the amount of work I was doing at Vian’s place, it had all but slipped my mind.
I was so busy with my workload that there was no way I could remember going to Victor’s room.
“I’m too busy. Besides, I can’t do that while I’m dispatched to Prince Vian’s place.”
“…Did you find out anything about that guy?”
Victor asked me with a serious look on his face. I thought for a moment, then answered.
“He’s… he’s a bit of a jerk.”
“A bit of a jerk?”
“He’s doing a lot of work.”
He stiffened a little at my words. I continued.
“He must be really talented to be able to do that amount of work all by himself.”
Before I could finish, the look in his eyes changed, and he gripped my arm with tremendous strength. Strong enough to bruise, no doubt.

Why were you so short-tempered when it came to Vian?
Besides, I wouldn’t lose in a place like this. I stepped as hard as I could on his toe. I jumped as high as I could and heel-dropped him until he was in pain.
He fell down on the spot while I crouched down and peered into his face.
This was what you get for not treating a lady with respect. You deserved it. …Well, I guess a heel drop on a prince would definitely be more than enough for a death sentence.
“You really are a brat to send me to Vian without permission and then get mad when I give you a fair assessment of him.”
I said that, and then, ignoring the fallen Victor, strode over to Vian’s room.
I might be in for quite a punishment later, but Vian likes me so much that I’m sure I’ll avoid the death penalty.
I knock on the door of Vian’s room.
“Who is it?”
“It’s me.”
I received no answer. Just as I thought about why there was no reply, the door opened with force. I dodged lightly to the side so as not to bump into the door.
“You’re late!”
With that, a slightly unhappy-looking Vian came out of the room.
