Chapter 61
Zenon clenched his fists so tightly that they shook.
However, his voice was calm as always.
“What a shame.
You think I'm so incompetent that I can't even cover up this incident.
Yester called his bluff.
He laughed as if Zenon was being ridiculous.
“It seems that Prince Rezef values the princess.
He even got off parole as soon as he found out.
Yester tapped his mask as if he found it strange.
He continued: — I was honestly surprised.
Why did he do something like this when it will definitely cost him more?
The jewel on his fox mask glowed as he moved his head.
Zenon wanted to tear off that mask, which hid Yester's thoughts, and throw it away.
But he forcibly swallowed his anger.
Yester was bigger than that tall Raphael by half a foot.
Yester was over 190 centimeters tall and had a menacing build.
His muscles could be seen even with his suit on.
Breaking someone's head was nothing to someone like Yester.
He was like a beast.
“That’s because Princess Cayena has many uses…
“No, no.
Yester shrugged, opening his arms excessively.
“Do you really think so?
Is Princess Cayena so useful that she would break the Emperor's orders?
“…
No.
Zenon didn't think so.
But he couldn't just confess it.
Seeing this, Yester smiled.
“There's something about Princess Cayena.
Right?
“What do you mean?
“Oh, it's just fun.
What makes everyone madly attached to the princess?
As he said this, he pointed his finger at Zenon.
“You, Prince Rezef, Henverton Gillian… even Kedrey.
Yester's golden eyes glittered sadly.
“I'm so curious about her that I'm going crazy.
“Crazy son of a bitch…” thought Zenon.
Yester's eyes and voice were not normal.
He was a total maniac.
He was a dangerous human being, qualitatively different from a drug addict like Henverton Gillian.
“Damn, damn!”
In the end, Zenon started to get angry at Princess Cayena.
She attracted crazy men like the pied piper in fairy tales.
Then Yester spoke again.
“Treat the princess well.
“… what?
“What kind of crazy was that?”
Yester said in a lonely voice, “If you do something irresponsible, I'll be so scared and sad that I don't know what I'll do.
Then, he tilted his head and looked at Zenon.
“Don't touch my toys.
At that moment, Zenon wanted to punch Yester in the face.
“My friend Zenon will do this for me.
Right?
“Why should I…!?
“Why do I have evidence that you tried to kidnap the princess?
Yester chuckled and said to a frozen Zenon, “Don't worry too much.
I'll make sure to shut Henverton up, okay?
He tried to get rid of one burden, but ended up with another.
“…right.
Zenon was forced to accept the proposal.
Scene 11.
Turbulence
The sunlight tickled his eyelids.
She normally didn't feel the sun like this when she was in bed because the curtains would be closed.
Then, Cayena felt a careful hand sweeping her hair.
Who was it?
Before opening her eyes, Cayena unintentionally thought of Raphael.
“Are you awake?
Contrary to what she imagined, Rezef was the only one beside her.
“Rezef…?
She tried to get up.
But his whole body was throbbing.
In particular, his entire upper body, wrists and ankles were sore.
She remembered that she had been kidnapped.
“Please continue lying down a little longer.
Rezef helped his sister lie down as she frowned briefly in discomfort.
His touch was gentle but restrictive.
Cayena lay down and let out a small sigh.
Seeing that she woke up in the princess's palace bed like this, it seemed that Raphael coming to save her was not a dream.
His mind was a little confused.
Why did he do this?
Was it because Raphael is a gentleman?
Because he was someone with morals?
Or perhaps she was making a big deal out of speculating about something that had no deep meaning.
“What happened to the kidnappers?
Especially…
She paused to take a quick breath.
“What happened to Henverton Gillian?
“The kidnappers were arrested and locked up in the imperial prison.
Henverton was also included.
Viscount Gillian and Duke Kedrey will also be summoned to hold the Gillian family responsible for this incident.
Cayena remembered how Henverton greedily desired her while she was drugged.
As in your lastIn life, he was willing to kill her if necessary.
Did this mean that everything that happened would still happen, but in a different form?
In an instant, fear overwhelmed her.
"This is wrong.
I didn't die."
She tried to remain calm.
There was no need to fear something that didn't happen.
Wasn't she back in the family rooms of the princess's palace now?
Doesn't that mean everything went well?
“Everything is fine now.”
She remembered Raphael, who appeared as a light in the pitch black darkness.
His hands, which had been shaking for a minute, became warm again.
Rezef silently watched all this happen.
“I should have blown Henverton’s head off too.”
It wasn't too late to do it now.
He would kill Henverton as painfully as possible.
It was the first time he had seen Cayena display such vivid terror.
The anger he held back while watching the sleeping Cayena came back to life.
Rezef would somehow destroy Henverton's house as well.
“But I can’t get rid of my anger.”
Anger flooded him.
Only when Cayena looked out the window did he come to.
“How long have I been passed out?
The curtains were open and she could see the bright golden sunlight.
It seemed like it would soon be sunset.
“It's only been a day.
Sister, you should rest more.
Cayena's face was still paler than usual.
The doctor also emphasized the need for rest, saying that her physical state was impaired by stress and trauma.
KNOW KNOW.
Then, Vera entered.
“Your Highness!
— Vera looked like she was going to burst into tears when she saw Cayena.
“You're awake!
Are you hungry?
How is your body?
Vera approached Cayena as if she were running.
“I'm fine, so calm down.
Cayena suddenly remembered something.
“What about Olivia?
Vera replied hoarsely: — Olivia is unharmed.
She had been watching her chamber until now, when she left for a moment.
Vera reported that the previous day Olivia had been attacked by someone and that she ran to the imperial palace to report the princess's kidnapping.
It was also Olivia who convinced Prince Rezef to mobilize the army yesterday.
Vera was going to explain this, but Rezef interrupted her.
“Sister.
Rezef called out to Cayena with a sigh and looked at her.
She was trying to take care of others as soon as she got up instead of taking care of her body.
His skin still looked unhealthy.
“Don't worry about different matters.
“How could I not?
Cayena looked at Rezef.
Confused, she said: — By the way, if your parole is over, you must report to the emperor.
Why are you here?
Furthermore, her outfit was strange.
Why was he wearing a red cape and uniform?
His gaze reached the space of the open cover.
A gun was visibly in his waistband.
“You couldn't have-!
— She realized that Rezef must have escaped his parole because he heard about her kidnapping.
The fact that it was her last day and the princess was in danger was no excuse.
The emperor's orders were more important than the safety of the imperial children.
It was clear that his father would not take into account the specifics of the situation and would punish Rezef.
And Rezef would not allow such an emperor to be.
“It's okay, sister.
If necessary, he would assassinate the emperor immediately.
Cayena couldn't let that happen.
There was no way anyone sitting on a bloodstained throne would be okay.
The tragedy would repeat itself again.
“Even if something bad happens to me, His Majesty's orders come first.
Go back now.
I'll talk to him.
Saying that, Cayena stood up, ignoring her pain.
“It's okay, sister.
Cayena tried to leave the room, pretending she hadn't heard.
“Sister!
—Rezef's face contorted and he grabbed Cayena.
“Oh!
—Even though your wrists were bandaged, they couldn't recover from being tied up in just one day.
Rezef flinched at Cayena's brief scream and pained face.
He quickly let go of his sister's wrist.
Instead, he held her in his arms, his face still wrinkled.
“Rezef!
“Please listen to me.
Then Cayena turned to him with a dumbfounded expression and said, — You should listen to me.
The two faced each other in an awkward confrontation.
