In the king's room in the palace.
At the dawn of a new day, Lia, Ella, and her knight, Shana, had come to pay respects to her father.
The father-daughter pair had a rather good relationship and were conversing happily. Even with Alidia and Shana by their side, it didn't affect their conversation.
However, for some reason, both father and daughter seemed a little distracted today.
Shana couldn't help but ask.
"Your Majesty, Your Highness, you two seem a little lethargic. Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Shana asked worriedly.
Ancey and Lia didn't find Shana's question out of the blue.
But …
"Are we lethargic? Father? "
Lia seemed a little doubtful.
"Indeed, I'm a little dispirited." Ancey turned to Aridia and asked, "What do you think? Alidia? "
Hearing this, Alidia said faintly.
"Your Majesty does look a little lethargic. So does Her Highness."
The honest knight answered honestly.
"Is that so?" Lia nodded as if she had finally sensed something. She sighed. "I clearly went to bed early last night, so why do I feel a little lethargic?"
"Does Lia feel that way too?" An Xi sighed as well. "Don't you feel like you've lost something very important?" he asked, as if asking for permission.
Lia did empathize with Ancey's words.
That's right. It was as if something important had been lost, or perhaps it was the feeling that it was far away from her. That was why Lia was so lethargic.
Perhaps it was just an illusion.
However, as a person who had received God's blessing, there were times when bad things really happened in reality that they thought it was an illusion.
It was especially so for the royal family of the Mithra Kingdom. As direct descendants of the Heroes, all of them received blessings from goddesses who were at least superior deities. Blessings would sometimes produce mysterious omens that made people feel something.
Of course, this was just a mysterious omen.
Unless one received blessings from the three goddesses like Rosie did, only then could one truly feel some omens and revelations. Otherwise, the omens brought about by ordinary blessings were mostly unreliable.
With that in mind, while Ancey and Lia were a little distracted, they didn't think too much of it.
However, such a conversation had unknowingly appeared.
"By the way, where's Rosie?"
"I don't know. She should still be in her bedroom?"
"Is she resting? Or working? "
"Probably? I heard from the Sword Saint Knights that Rosie sped up her work yesterday for some reason and finished most of it. "
"That child seems to be doing that a lot lately. Finishing her work in advance?"
"Yes."
"… Is it for a viscount?"
"… I think so."
"…"
"…"
And so, Anxi and Leah were having such a conversation. For some reason, they suddenly stopped as an unpleasant feeling welled up in their hearts.
"I don't know why, but I suddenly want to find trouble with that viscount."
"Royal Father, please calm down. This is too unreasonable, although I feel the same way …"
The father and daughter became even more absent-minded.
In his heart, two impulses appeared at the same time.
One was the urge to beat up a certain viscount.
One was the urge to see Rosie as soon as possible.
(Come out soon, Rosie …)
His worried father and sister were filled with hope in their hearts.
They just didn't know when this hope would come true.
…
At the same time, in Duke Stringham's villa, Barry and Limcho, father and son, gathered together.
They weren't having tea together, but were discussing the strange things that happened in the territory recently.
Due to the strange things happening in the territory, Barry called Limjow over. They discussed going back to the territory together to see if they could investigate the matter, or even solve it.
But this pair of father and son were clearly talking about serious matters, but for some reason, they didn't seem to be in high spirits.
Especially Limjow, who woke up this morning with an inexplicable sense of loss lingering in his heart.
That sense of loss made Limjow feel a little dejected, as if the meaning of life had been lost.
And Barry didn't teach Limjow a lesson, which was rare.
Because he also had a sense of loss that his ambition was unknowingly shattered.
Thanks to this, this pair of father and son, who were extremely utilitarian and purposeful, hastily ended their discussion about serious matters for the first time ever.
"It's decided. You go back and make preparations. We'll go back to the territory tomorrow."
Barry waved his hand, looking listless.
"Yes."
Limjow didn't think too much. After agreeing, he stood up and left the study.
However, thinking that he would go back to the territory tomorrow, Limjow cheered up for the time being.
"Before leaving, let's go see Her Highness."
Although Limjow and Rosie weren't very familiar, it was good to see her from afar.
Especially today, this thought was especially strong.
"I really want to see Her Highness Rosie, I really want …"
With this thought in mind, Limjow didn't choose to silently plan how to get close to Her Highness Princess like before. Instead, he brought gifts and gathered in Rosie's palace like those noble young masters, waiting for Her Highness Princess to appear.
It looked like an animal.
The animal was called "Licking Dog".
…
Actually, it wasn't just Limjow.
Today, all the noble young masters in the capital who admired Rosie were all listless, but one or two of them desperately rushed to the palace, just to be able to see Her Highness Princess.
Not to mention those noble young masters, even the common people in the capital felt empty in their hearts. No matter what they did, they didn't have the energy to do it. They just wanted noon to come quickly, so that they could go to the palace and wait for Her Highness Princess to appear.
Today's sky was also gray, as if even the heavens and earth were in a bad mood.
The depressing atmosphere permeated the capital, even the whole kingdom, causing everyone to look like they had lost their souls, like walking corpses who had lost their dreams.
Under such circumstances, the center of the noble district, where Borztutt's house was located, seemed to defy common sense. It was isolated from the rest of the world, but the sun was shining brightly and the air was fresh. It was unbelievable.
Later on, this day was known as the Day of Loss.
Because, on this day, the most precious treasure of the kingdom was eaten by an animal until nothing was left.
…
Borztutt's house, the main hall, in Shien's room.
On the bed, under the blanket, the beautiful princess with her smooth shoulders exposed had woken up.
However, Her Royal Highness had been doubting her life ever since she woke up.
It couldn't be helped.
"I was taken by someone just like that?"
"I lost the most important thing in my life just like that?
"Who am I?
"Where am I?
"What did he do to me?"
Rosie was in a state of confusion, unable to extricate herself for a long time.
On the other hand, Shien had been hugging Rosie's shoulders ever since he woke up. He felt unprecedentedly carefree, and at the same time, he came to a sudden realization.
"No wonder all men light up a cigarette at this time."
The reason was simple, it was because he was too emotional about life.
Without a doubt, this was something that gave him a sense of accomplishment.
After accomplishing such a successful thing, it was fine if he didn't drink a glass of wine to celebrate, but how could he not even light a cigarette?
Unfortunately, there was no cigarette in this world.
Melancholy.
Truly melancholy.
Just as Shien was expressing his emotions, a faint voice came from beside him.
"Laugh all you want, but can you not open your mouth so wide?"
Rosie's voice was filled with bitterness and hatred that others could not understand.
Shien quickly wiped away the smug smile on his face and showed a fawning expression to the naked princess in his arms.
"Am I not happy?"
Shien looked like an honest man who would bear all hardships without complaint.
However, the more Shien acted like this, the angrier Rosie became.
Honest man?
Would an honest person strip off all his clothes when he was sleeping soundly without him noticing?
What a despicable thing you have done, are you going to do it or not?
Honest man?
Honest my foot!
"Didn't you stand me up? Not only did you come back after dawn, you even had the guts to attack me? "
Rosie clenched her teeth in anger.
"Also, even I wasn't alerted in time. What's with your ability to strip people's clothes without them knowing when they're asleep? Why didn't I know you had this ability? "
Hearing this, Shien muttered in his heart.
(Didn't I learn it from a maid?)
Even if strictly speaking, the maid did not teach Shien any skills in this area, but who was Shien?
Cheater!
A real cheater!
He could even learn the skills that others had to work hard to obtain in an instant, let alone a skill that was used to strip clothes.
This kind of divine skill... Bah, this shameless method, Shien was very unwilling to master it.
But what could he do? He was a hack, wasn't he?
Therefore, Shien would never admit that he had put in some effort to study it, and that he had really unwillingly mastered this skill.
Regardless of whether others believed it or not, he himself thought so.
Therefore...
"Well, this happened unknowingly."
Shien's words sounded like a hateful scumbag.
Rosie swore that this was the moment when she wanted to kill this bastard the most.
If it wasn't for the fact that what was done could not be undone, Rosie felt that the first hero in the history of Omnippertansen who should have fallen in front of the Holy Sword should have appeared at this moment.
"Sigh..."
After a long time, Rosie sighed, as if she had accepted her fate.
So, Rosie turned over and pressed on top of Shien. She stretched out her hand and pressed on Shien's face.
Just when Shien thought that this girl had finally learned her lesson and decided to become a female knight, he saw that Rosie was staring at him with a serious face.
"What is our relationship now?"
Rosie stared straight at Shien and asked.
Shien blinked his eyes.
In his heart, there was a surge of impulse.
That impulse was called 'seeking death'.
(If I say "we are brothers" at this time, what will happen?)
Hmm... That scene was obvious, it was impossible to not see blood.
Moreover, Shien was not that much of a scumbag.
Immediately, Shien hugged the person in his arms and said with a smile.
"Tell me, other than being husband and wife, what else can we do?"
Her Royal Highness was satisfied with this answer.
"That's what you said." Rosie said with a serious face, "I have given you everything, if you dare not marry me in the future, you are dead."
How could Shien deny it?
Of course, he nodded repeatedly.
