What are you doing there?

Suddenly, a voice called from below. I was so shocked that my body trembled subconsciously. I even didnt feel the presence.

Be careful.

I looked down while balancing my body, there was Sigren looking up with his dissatisfied face.

How, how are you here? No, more than that, dont look up!

I was up on the tree branch with a dress. Nothing good would be seen from below. It was not a pleasant feeling being seen from that position. Fortunately, Sigren calmly looked down . However, his nagging seemed to have no end.

Ive been looking for you because you suddenly disappeared with Lady Priscilla, and now youre sitting on a branch.

.

I thought you were an assassin.

Well, certainly it was not Sigrens fault for having that kind of assumption. Because I definitely looked suspicious.

Okay, Ill go down.

Just jump, Ill catch you.

Was he serious? I looked at him suspiciously.

What if it hurts..

I wont hurt you.

No, not me, I mean you. What if you get hurt?

Wasnt it usually the person below that got hurt? But Sigren looked at me with a hint of absurdity on his face.

Its a useless worry.

Well, my worry was not unfounded. Didnt catching someone jumping from the high ground involve a lot of work? But then again, in this world, there were people who were beyond normal people, who were out of touch with common sense. And Sigren was the best of them all.

Can I close my eyes, and jump?

In the end, it still took a little courage to jump into a person.

You could do whatever you want to do. I promise, you wont get hurt.

That was a very reassuring remark. So I closed my eyes and jumped down. The hem of my dress fluttered in the wind. The feeling of floating ended pretty quickly. Hard arms immediately supported my body.

I opened my eyes. I soon met Sigrens blue-grey eyes. Every time I looked at his eyes like this, Ive never been able to not feel surprised by how beautiful they were.

Thank you. I stroked his cheek.

Suddenly, Sigren looked disappointed.

Why do you touch me when I cant use either of my hands?

I was taken aback for a moment by his brazen remarks. Was he not happy because he wanted to touch me but he couldnt?

Why did you climb the tree?

Lady Livya was talking with the crown prince alone, and trying to seduce him. I was just watching just in case something happened.

You were worried about a girl being alone with a man, what a big brother.

I laughed softly at his sarcasm.

Now put me down.

Youre not wearing shoes. Where did you put them?

In front of the window on the fourth floor.

Did you jump from there?

Well.

Sigren seemed to try swallowing his nagging after hearing my lukewarm response.

Next time if this kind of situation happens, just tell me.

Asking a prince to do this kind of thing is too much though

Sigren ignored my murmur and walked. He walked inside the building with such a light movement considering he was holding a person.

A pair of shoes was lying on the floor under the fourth-floor window from which I jumped. Sigren sat me on the window sill and knelt down on one knee. Hmm? Why the posture?

As I was about to get up, he said, Stay still.

I wont die if my feet touch the floor,

But I dont like it.

Sigren lightly grabbed my ankle.

Ive never thought my ankles were thin, but it was so strange to see them all wrapped around his hands. Was that because he had big hands? I looked closely at him. Then, Sigren took my shoes in a very cautious manner.

Wait.

Did he.. want to put my shoes on my feet?

Seeing him like this really made me confused. Was he a pro player or a beginner? His actions were so natural, as natural as breathing. Didnt he NOT know how to be considerate towards women?

Gosh, how could I be so clueless about the character I had created?

Anyway, this situation was so awkward. I was not used to this. For some reason, this situation felt so unfair. Feeling a bit grumpy, I bowed my head and kissed his forehead.

Sigrens body stiffened for a moment, then he slowly raised his head. It was a disgruntled look.

I really cant figure out the timing when you would touch me.

Um.. whenever I want to?

Then, can I also touch you whenever I want to?

Unbelievable, a reversible card.

Let.. lets discuss first

There was a slight resentment in his narrow gaze.

I gently stroked his hair as an apology.

Ah, looking at Sigren from this angle was not bad. Now I understood why Sigren would kiss my forehead or cheek every now and then. This height was just right.

Done.

After my shoes were on, he pulled me up.

Thank you.

Despite my thanks, Sigrens expression was still dissatisfied. Was it because of the touching discussion earlier?

Whats the matter?

I grabbed Sigrens hand and swung it. If he had any complaints, he should tell me.

Sigren let out a soft sigh.

Nothing.

If you have something to say, just say it.

I was just wondering why you are so nonchalant.

What?

Touching me.

Was I? I didnt know. But one thing was certain.

I also have a similar worry as you.

He asked skeptically.

In what sense?

I pulled Sigrens cheek lightly and smiled.

In the sense of how youve tried to be attentive? Its difficult doing something without any experience doing it.

Although, it was highly likely that was the basic specification of the male protagonist.

Sigren snorted, I dont think its something I have to be ashamed of.

I laughed lightly. I also thought the same way.

It was like how we worked in Heilon.

Right, thats what I thought.

Really?

If only Abel also thought that way, we couldve been left alone.

I couldnt deny it considering Abels recent actions. He was a real childish chaperone.

Sigren tightly held my hand that was swinging his arm.

For the record, I know I dont have any experience, but Im doing my best.

Ah, really? That was quite a touching remark.

I looked at Sigren. Although the light was dim, I could see his face.

Um.. but how could you not do anything about your blushing face?

You really have a knack for breaking the mood.

In the end, I put my lips to his cheek as an apology. I could feel that Sigren had a fit of nerves because of my proposal to discuss mutually-agreed terms earlier. However, compared to the first time, todays reaction was..less cuter.

***

Inside the Heilon mansion.

I need to do a preliminary investigation. This was what I said after briefing the knights on the recent situation.

The knights opened their eyes wide.

What is it about, Miss?

Of course its about the illegal gambling den.

The recent news reported that the crown prince had taken the bait. However, he only went once every few days. I have to observe him a bit more. I have to be careful and make sure that I could catch him on the spot to prove that he was involved in illegal gambling. If he was not there, there was no point in raiding the arena. We couldnt properly disgrace him, and worst, he could get away.

Shall we go after his men?

No, Ill go alone. I cant stand out.

I will send a message to the prince in advance.

Did he just ignore what I had just said?

Leander quickly opened his mouth seeing my dissatisfied expression.

Miss, no matter what, it is dangerous to go alone.

I crossed my arms.

Who is the current owner of this mansion?

Isaac replied amicably. It is you, Miss.

Then whose order should you obey?

Of course, it is His Highness Duke Abel. The knights smiled and looked at me as if I was very cute.

.

I really have nothing to say. That was not incorrect. Of course, the current mansion belonged to me, but it was Abel who was the ruler, and so ultimately the knights followed Abel.

Miss Fiona, dont be angry. Your safety is our number one priority.

No, youre right. You have to follow the employer. I responded indifferently.

They should obey the person who paid them.

Some knights burst into laughter. I really like her rational personality.

Well, this matter was not something worth arguing, not something I should be stubborn about. However, I wondered whether this gave more burden to Sigren.

I shrugged lightly. Alright. Some of you can follow along.

Thank you for listening to our opinions. Leander replied modestly.

With the matter decided, the meeting was over.

Well, unlike the duke, I know how to listen to my subordinates.

I threw out a half joke. I said it just for laughs. But unexpectedly, everyone nodded seriously.

Miss, youre absolutely right.

.

The fact that all of the subordinates did not deny that Abel was a selfish person made me laugh so much.
