# Chapter 64
Chapter 64
Henverton acted unconcerned, like someone who didn't know what was being pointed at him.
“So you intend to shoot me with that gun?
No matter how royal your blood is, it would be very troublesome for you to kill a noble.
Henverton opened his arms.
“How about you stop this useless effort and go out with me?
At that moment, the footsteps of several people approached.
They were the people who had come to free Henverton.
“Come on, gentlemen.
Why are you so slow…
They saw Cayena and shut up.
What was happening?
An angel with a gun appeared in the prison.
“Isn't that the princess...?
Henverton looked at Cayena with pity.
“Are there enough cartridges in that gun?
Your Highness is good enough to shoot everyone before these men dare to grab you, right?
There was no way she would be.
This was the first time Cayena had wielded a weapon since she was born.
She wasn't so numb that she would deliberately murder someone.
She couldn't shoot a person.
Then she recognized what it was like.
“You are right.
With the hand that wasn't holding the weapon, Cayena pulled a small baton-like object from her robe pocket.
She bit down and pulled the wrapper away, revealing a small, sharp, shiny blade.
She put the blade to her face, as if she was going to cut her face immediately.
“So how about this?
Henverton's relaxed face turned into that of a devil.
“Stop it-!
— Cayena knew exactly what Henverton loved about her.
It was her face.
It was just her beautiful face.
He was a collector of beautiful items.
This collection included many things, including his most secret collection of humans.
Even when Henverton abused Cayena a lot, he never touched her face.
“Why was I scared of something like you?
You are a nobody.
Why was she so afraid of a man who winced when she threatened to cut his face?
If she had known earlier, wouldn't she have ruined her face in her first life?
“No, I didn’t have the courage to ruin my appearance back then.”
Her appearance was the reason for her existence, so she couldn't let it go, even when it became useless.
Cayena realized that she was so defenseless that even an insignificant man could intimidate her.
She laughed.
She felt like she had finally recovered after being possessed by a ghost.
At the same time, his helplessness was like a curse.
There wasn't just one Henverton Gillian.
The second Henverton, the third Henverton could appear at any time.
No matter how much she pushes back against them, she may one day end up with the same results.
His eyes darkened.
The attackers burst into laughter and began to approach her to overpower her.
“I'll cut my cheek if they come any closer, Gillian.
“Stop!
— Henverton shouted at his subordinates like a madman at Cayena's threat.
“What?
Are you crazy?
They were perplexed.
The opponent was just a powerless woman.
Even though the weapon she held was a little intimidating, there were six men here.
Furthermore, the threat was to cut his own face with a knife.
They were stunned because it didn't make sense.
However, Henverton pulled out the dagger one of his employees wore on his belt.
His eyes were already a little crazy.
“If there's a single scratch on that face, your limbs won't be intact.
Keep this in mind!
“This is crazy…
His hands were tied because of the princess who took herself hostage.
Henverton gritted his teeth and looked at Cayena.
“I will do whatever you want, so please put away the knife, Your Highness.
It was a very serious voice.
Would she see him beg like that again?
Cayena looked at Henverton in disgust as he was unable to understand her situation and continued to obsess over her face.
“If I knew you hated it so much, I would have mutilated my face by now.
You'd probably pass out if I burned you.
“Princess Cayena!
“You are impertinent.
She gave him an order with stern eyes.
“Kneel.
Henverton's gaze focused on the knife, then slowly sank into the ground.
Cayena pointed the gun at the bandits.
“Aren't you all going to kneel?
They thought the princess looked angelic, but she was definitely crazy.
Their faces wrinkled.
Cayena pressed the blade against her cheek.
Finally, Henverton snapped and shouted, “Kneel, you idiots!
“Crazy bastard…
They thought of attacking Henverton and dominating Cayena.
But the gun was now pointed at them, not at Henverton.
“You must return the prison key,
Cayena said, pointing to the prison that had been opened in front of Henverton.
One of the gangsters swore and threw the key out of his pocket.
Cayena took herself hostage and made the six men kneel on the ground.
Still, the situation could turn around with a little more time.
The guards here were bribed by them.
If they saw the princess, they would certainly silence her somehow.
However, Cayena had no intention of prolonging the confrontation.
She pointed the gun at the ceiling and pulled the trigger.
Bang -!
A thunderous roar reached the prison.
It was a horrible noise.
The gangsters' faces contorted unpleasantly.
Knights who heard this noise would flock to this place.
They had to escape quickly.
“Take the princess hostage!
“Henverton wanted her alive or something, so they were just going to beat her.” Still, he pushed them away.
“Are you crazy?
If you put a single scratch on that face, I'll throw you into burning oil!
— Cayena entered the cell where Henverton escaped and locked herself in.
Then, she threw the gun and key outside.
“This way!
This is where the sound came from!
— They could hear the sound of knights entering the place.
Cayena already knew it was time for the knights to patrol this area.
This was also why she sent Vera on the task.
She had ordered the number of patrols to increase at this time.
The knights of the central army, who were patrolling just in time, rushed towards the prison.
“It's an escape!
Get them!
— The knights immediately arrested the gangsters and Henverton.
“Save me!
— Cayena shouted.
The knights of the central army were very surprised to discover that the imperial princess was in prison.
“Y-Your Highness?
His Imperial Highness is here!
— She pointed at the gun with a shaking hand.
“They tried to shoot me!
“W-what?
The attackers looked confused as Cayena screamed.
She caused more chaos among the knights.
“Get rid of that terrible thing!!
Get her out of the palace where I can't see!
“Y-yes!
— The knights quickly put away the weapon and opened the prison cell to protect Cayena.
“I was so scared…
She covered her face, making her look delicate and pitiful.
“T-that crazy woman…!”
The knights made all the impertinent assailants lie down on the ground, hitting them with the spear point and pressing them down.
Cayena left the prison leaning on the knights.
She made eye contact with the gangsters, slightly revealing her face which she covered with both hands.
A faint mocking smile graced his mouth and disappeared.
The attackers were stunned.
They were completely defeated.
Cayena weakly emerged from prison.
“Sister!
— Rezef discovered that his weapon was missing and went to the princess's palace.
There, he found Cayena missing.
He had a strange premonition.
He ran to look for her immediately, heard a gunshot and ran here.
“Rezef!
— Cayena quickly ran to Rezef and hugged him.
He naturally hugged Cayena back as if to protect her and questioned the knights about what was going on.
They said they heard gunshots and arrested Henverton Gillian when he tried to escape.
Furthermore, he shot Princess Cayena, who was found trapped.
What kind of complicated story was this?
He saw the weapon the knight held.
“…
That was his weapon.
Cayena tightened her grip on him and whispered in a low voice.
“…that’s not your gun, Rezef.
Cayena knew it was an illegal and undeclared firearm.
Rezef could not show the emperor another weakness.
Cayena had already thought about this beforehand.
"Didn't I tell you to get rid of it?" It's very scary.
At his words, the knight apologized and hid the weapon.
“You don't need to tell me how you take care of it.
No, inform Prince Rezef.
I don't even want to know.
“I comply with your order, Your Highness.
Rezef was surprised by how naturally she acted.
Certainly, it would be troublesome if the emperor knew that the weapon was Rezef's.
Didn't he disobey an imperial order yesterday?
He followed his sister's example.
“I'm taking my sister away, so take care of it.
Henverton Gillian, who dared to escape, will be interrogated tomorrow.
He even had a good reason to play Henverton.
With this, no one would find fault with their actions,even in aristocratic society.
Rezef gently pulled his sister's hair back.
“Let's go to your room, sister.
As he thought, Cayena was unique.
There.
She was still devoted to him.
His only older sister acted as if they were siblings, with only each other to rely on.
That was what Rezef liked most.
He never wanted that bond to be broken.
So, Cayena had to stay by his side.
He had done a good job spreading his portraits around.
Should he also build a statue of her in the city?
Rezef followed Cayena with a smile on his mouth.
