Chapter 32-2


    The Pce, second-floor corridor.


    Hte was urgently summoned by the king and entered the pce hastily.


    When I first heard the news, I was taken aback, but it didnt take long before I realized why and realized that she must have been dragged in as the fianc due to something that happened because of Sion.


    How did you exin yourself to end up in this situation?


    Hte was heading towards the office with a knight.


    She had never met the king before today, let alone entered the pce.


    She had heard a few precautions from Yenid, but she couldnt even remember them now.


    He said he was using me as a reason. He must have made a mistake while doing so.


    Hte checked the letter that Sion had received and agreed to the demand.


    I want to use your existence as a reason for refusing to join the royal knights, and I hope you didnt feel bad about it.


    Moreover, he had even offered to give 100 gold coins aspensation for fulfilling this request.


    He probably intended to return the 80 gold coins he had received from her through this incident Hte thought.


    We agreed to cooperate with each other, so we should do what we can for each other.


    Hte lets out a bitter smile and a sad look in her eyes.


    She couldnt even understand why he didnt want to join the Royal Knights in the first ce.


    Although Sion said he wanted to live freely, she couldnt really empathize with him.


    It was because she had to live a life bound since the time she got engaged to Sion.


    You know too much about kids stuff.


    Hte stands still in front of the pce, lost in thought.


    The Royal Knights were standing before her, guarding the pce without even looking around.


    She felt a strange sense of calmness by just being aware of the ne around her neck.


    Are you Hte Adira?


    Yes.


    Her Majesty the King is waiting for you.


    Glenone opened the door with a slightly dissatisfied expression.


    Hte entered the pce and recited a consistent sentence with courtesy.


    I greet You Majesty, the pinnacle of the in Kingdom, the owner of the pce, and the great King who has left significant achievements.


    You came quite quickly. Is Duke doing well?


    Brandis turned around from the window to greet Hte.


    Although Hte was taken aback by her appearance, she instinctively continued the conversation.


    Yes, thanks to Your Majestys grace, Hes doing well.


    Well, thats good to hear. A loyal subject shouldnt be suffering.


    Brandis slowly stepped forward and stopped in front of Hte.


    Hte felt an inexplicable sense of intimidation and cautiously avoided her gaze.


    Do you know why I called for you?


    I think its because of my fianc.


    Thats right. Your fianc is causing me trouble.


    Brandis looked Hte and murmured.


    Despite being called a Crazy Young Lady, she didnt look so bad.


    Above all, her eyes alone were enough to make me feel as if she were looking at Duke Adira.


    How can I help you?


    I want you to give me your fianc.


    Im sorry, Your Majesty, but I dont understand what youre talking about. Why are you asking me to give you my fianc?


    Sion Laird swore to be your knight. He said he couldnt back out because he put his life on the line. If you allow it, he will join the royal knights.


    ?


    Htes mind went nk for a moment.


    The contents were different from what was previously discussed.


    He had only offered usible excuses about the circumstances of his family or fianc, but suddenly oaths and lives were being thrown out.


    How could he lie to the king like this?


    Sion Laird possesses the most outstanding qualities among the swordsmens I have seen so far. If he receives systematic training in the royal knights, he will bear fruit within a few years. How about you make a concession for your fianc?


    Brandis spoke sincerely, but did not show an oppressive attitude.


    This was not a problem that could be persuaded by royal orders or justifications.


    In order to break Sions oath and determination, she had to receive Htes consideration.


    She had to trample on the promise and emotion of the two people because of her own greed.


    Maybe because he not just a kid


    Hte repeatedly thought, barely suppressing the urge to sigh.


    She couldnt say that Sion had lied in this situation.


    There must have been circumstances that forced Sion to do so, and we had promised to help each other.


    If he was going to make a mistake, it would have been better to make it more perfect.


    But why do I have topromise? Isnt it okay for me to do whatever because hes my fianc?


    Hte was filled with inexplicable difort and struggled to contain it.


    If Sion joined the royal Knight, his time at the mansion would be reduced.


    In the end, she would not be able to be with him and would always wander within the pce.


    Why should I allow that to happen?


    Your Majesty, Im afraid I cannot grant your request.


    What? Why not?


    My fianc has sworn to die for me. I have epted that oath, so my life is also in my fiancs hands. Therefore, one of us must die before the oath can be broken.


    Are you asking me to kill you?


    If Your Majesty orders me to die, I will. However, I only ask that you keep this a secret so that my fianc will not be saddened.


    Hte herself was not aware of the words she was speaking.


    She was simply expressing the emotions that were flowing through her mind.


    She didnt know what the future held, but she couldnt undo what she had already done.


    Are you threatening me with your life?


    If it sounded that way, I apologize. But I, too, havemitted to live for my fianc. So I have no choice but to risk my life for my fiancs sake.
