<Episode 49>   I held myself back from asking him if it was okay for other people to touch his body so much. I guess the reason he let them do it in the first place is because it was fine.   “‘Mi?’ What’s that? Are you trying to act cute?” “ ‘Mi’ means madman,…

<Episode 50>   The head maid was surprised to find us returning earlier than scheduled. “Who is it at this hour… oh goodness, you’ve done it after all!”   It was time to solidify the maid’s poor trust in me. That night, after Rue returned to the Eachus mansion, I told the maid everything that…

<Episode 52>   The assassin-butler said nothing for a moment. His eyes, which had been full of suspicion at first, gradually became more and more bewildered. “I need an explanation. What kind of process does it take to achieve such a result?”   After a brief description of the duel, the assassin-butler uttered words of…

<Episode 51>   Rattle.   Rue, with a basket full of vegetables next to him, came and pulled out a seat to sit down. Then he began trimming asparagus.   I was asking the maid the question purposely where I couldn’t see him. This sly guy.   “In the past, the Rogue was divided into…

<Episode 53>   The morning of a day when the sun was particularly high up in the sky, the maid delivered the long-awaited news.   “Miss Daisy, do you remember the elder from Westwinterre that I told you about a few days ago?” “Yes.” “I got permission for him to let you visit. You’ll go…

<Episode 54>   Jean was hired as the fourth employee of the Weatherwoods family. Her position was the Butler.   After trimming her silver hair short and donning a male employee’s attire, Jean’s appearance had changed enough to pass as a man at a glance. With a height of around 170cm, she possessed a solid…

<Episode 55>     Rue, who was listening to the head maid’s requests with a soulless face, nodded to my question.  “Then pick me up from the market in half-an-hour.”   “Where?”  “I’ll wait in front of the pub named <Piece of Land.>   “I have to go on foot?”   “…….”  “Hmm, even though we’re indeed a couple…

<Episode 56>   Look who was talking. “That’s what I say. I learnt it from you in the first place, Mr. Rue.” His face was still stained with deep bewilderment, so I had no choice but to reassure him.   “I know that there’s no way Mr. Rue likes me.” “I feel like I’ve heard…

<Episode 57>   The old man fell on the sofa a beat faster than I’d expected.  I reflexively rushed to his side and checked his breathing. Fortunately, he was not dead.   ‘Yes, he’s not dead….’   He was keeping a close eye on us. He was calm. He stood in the same spot where…

<Episode 58>   “Their goal was power, or more precisely, the absolute power that can be achieved through the transformation into a demigod! Those who pursue power without considering the means and methods are easily caught in traps. I have played the role of a living trap! Where should I start the story? When I…

<Episode 59>   In the middle of being guided to the bedrooms, I almost habitually entered Rue’s bedroom together with him.   This was the aftermath of using the same bedroom at the noble council meeting. “Miss Daisy, would you like to sleep with me? Well, I did consider going over to your side at…

<Episode 60>   ‘There are five rooms in total. When checking the windows from outside, the room with the lights on was the fourth room from the back, so it’s the third room from the inside.’   The first room the assassin entered was one that was typically used as the bedroom by the homeowner….

<Episode 61>   “So many? You said there was no one like that earlier.” “There were just so many people that came to mind that I lied without realizing it. I’m sorry.”   That was a cute lie. Well, since Malcolm was down, she must’ve been nervous. I moved past the lie. Only a maid…

<Episode 62>   ‘What would Rue look like with those fancy jewels in his ears?’   I decided to stop imagining because I was blinded just by the image in my mind. The item Rue carefully chose out of the gems was  a pair of earrings with a pure white pearl on top and a…

<Episode 63>   The questions seemed to converge and hit me on the back of my head. [I really thought you’d died this time.]   A deeply relieved voice embraced me with a force that made my body crumble, and I fell onto him with a thud. In an instant, a severe pain struck my…

<Episode 64>   [Wow, that’s so mean, Andert!] [To reject her highness! Do you know how lucky you are?]   In an old pub filled with wounded people, some were crying while others were laughing. It was like a melting pot of confusion and complication.   However, this divide was precisely the way we endured…
