Am I crazy?
What do I do now?
I tried to lower my hand, but my hand hanging in the air and my expression froze.
The smile disappeared from Leon's face as he looked at me.
Leon slowly approached my face.
Even blinking became difficult.
A hot, suffocating feeling enveloped me, and a hot breath came out of me.
I didn't want him to discover my hot breathing, so I held my breath.
My heart was out of control, beating like crazy.
'Is this the right time to close my eyes?'
I tried to close my eyes, but the more I tried, the more they widened.
Only hot breaths came out.
“They say the breath of a unicorn is powerful.
Belle Belle, are you a unicorn?”
Leon closed his mouth, holding back his laughter with difficulty.
How funny I looked until his face turned red from trying to hold back his laughter?
I felt my dignity was wounded.
"Actually, it's all a lie.
I love the cold.
Even if my lips crack and bleed!" I said in a cold tone, throwing out the words randomly.
“Bill Bill, this is cruel.
You said I would die if I bled!”
“You're the one being random.”
I suddenly got up, turned around, and headed towards the walking path next to the villa.
"Bill Bill!
Wait for me!"
Leon shouted from behind, but I shouted angrily: “Don’t come!
I want to be alone!”
Leon couldn't take his eyes off Bella's back as she walked angrily.
'I almost got in trouble.'
Leon rubbed his chest.
He almost unconsciously kissed Bella's lips.
If it weren't for her strong breathing at that moment, he would have been carried away by the atmosphere.
"…Yes."
Leon ran his hand through his hair violently.
His hair, tangled by the humidity and heat of Palanobo, stuck to his fingers.
“Damn… I’m really crazy.”
His cheeks were still red, and his heart was filled with uneasy heat.
Was it the heat of the sun that ignited his heart?
Leon sighed deeply and looked up at the sky.
The clear, cloudless sky seemed to cool his temperature.
'It's all because of Palanubo.'
He remembered her wide eyes and trembling eyelashes.
Leon laughed softly and shook his head.
Get up slowly.
Should I follow her where she goes?
He looked at the corridor where she had disappeared, then shook his head and headed towards the villa.
He felt that catching up now when she was angry would only bring harsh words.
When he entered the villa, Zeus approached him with a confused face.
“I heard you were in the library with Sir Kalsen.”
“Who said?”
Leon replied coldly, running his hand through his hair.
He wanted to wash his wet hair.
“Haha, maybe you misheard.
I have something to tell you, come inside...”
“Ah!”
A sharp scream rang out.
It was Bella's voice without a doubt.
Leon's body moved instinctively.
He left the villa and ran towards the corridor where Bella had disappeared.
“Bella.”
He muttered her name as he ran unconsciously.
His mind was filled with anxiety.
What if something happened to her?
His lips trembled.
Finally he saw her.
Bella seemed fine.
“Damn, this is awesome!”
“Bella?”
Leon called out to her, panting.
She extended her arms and said something, then turned around when she heard his name.
Her emerald eyes were filled with confusion.
"Are you okay?
What happened?"
Leon asked her.
“Leon, I'm fine.
A small animal, similar to a wolf, attacked me.”
Leon looked around, but the place was clean.
“I heard you screaming so I ran to you.”
“Ah...I'm fine.”
Bella nodded.
Leon approached her, examining her from head to toe.
He sighed in relief when he was sure she wasn't hurt.
“But what were you saying was great?”
He didn't pay attention to her words at first because of the situation.
Bella smiled awkwardly and avoided his gaze.
“Me?
Did you say that?
I don’t remember...”
Whether she said it or not, what did it matter?
The important thing is that she is fine.
“Where is the animal that attacked you?”
Leon returned to his high tone and pretense.
“When I screamed, he ran there terrified.”
“Bill Bill, I'm sweaty from running from the villa!”
Leon grumbled, fluttering his clinging shirt.
Bella smiled in embarrassment when she learned that her screams were heard in the villa, and began to pass her hand like a fan.
Leon looked at her uess fanning and laughed.
'Good, really.'
The people who followed Leon stood looking at them.
"Ah, my leg hurts.
Zeus, carry me."
Leon hit his thighs with his fists and called out to Zeus.
Zeus approached quietly, squatted down, and carried Leon on his back.
“Bill Bill, see you later at the villa.”
Leon waved enthusiastically.
“What is this situation?”
'I was the one who was in danger, so why should he be the one being carried?'
Although she was startled, she was satisfied that he ran until his clothes were wet.
“Ma’am, are you really okay?”
Amy and Mary, who couldn't intervene because of Leon, asked anxiously.
“Yes, I'm fine, really.”
Bella nodded and pushed up her sleeve, looking proudly at the bracelet she hated.
Leon whispered in Zeus's ear as he was carried: "Find that animal that attacked Bella.
If you don't find it, you will be dead."
“Your Highness, the place is open, it will be difficult to find an escaped animal.”
"So, find out why this animal appeared in front of Bella in this open place.
Maybe someone tried to threaten Bella."
“Huh, impossible.”
A cold sweat ran down Zeus's back.
Leon whispered in his ear: “If something had happened to Bella, you would have died at my hands.
Thank the governor that she is fine.
Understood?”
“This is closer to arrest than support.”
Despite my insistence that I didn't need to, Amy and Mary took my arms and led me back to the villa's bedroom.
My fear of encountering that animal still remains.
Every time I remembered him, my body trembled.
“We'll prepare the bath water.”
She nodded, and when they entered the bathroom, she lay down on the couch.
It was still a mystery.
I raised my arm and looked at the bracelet.
The bracelet, which I had seen as dirty, now looked mysterious.
“Wow, really.”
I don't know how many times I repeated this word.
I could not forget the bright light that emanated from the bracelet at the moment I screamed.
Light enveloped my body, and the terrified animal fled.
“Is this a real thing?”
I sincerely regretted looking down on him.
I don't know how it works, but it came in handy at the right time.
But, wait...
Wasn't there a ruler's torch in the temple of Esta where I found this bracelet?
A one-person protective device powered by the power of a holy heroine.
It's true that the animal didn't look like a magical beast, but if this was the ruler's torch?
Wasn't the sacred instrument Cassia found a painting?
I'm not sure if the torch is painted, because I haven't seen the painting.
I clutched my beating heart and screamed in silent delight.
'Is this finally the beginning of my path to survival?'
