"Little kitten, you seem to be very absent-minded!"

Alice shook my hand.

"Eh, is there one? Probably...... I'm not used to it yet. ”

After all, this is the first time I've done something like this, how can I say it...... It doesn't feel a little unrealistic......

"Your Royal Highness, this is the ring, help Miss Suzuki put it on."

"Hmm."

Alice took the ring from the maid and turned to me with a smile on her face.

"Give it to me."

"Oh......"

Slowly stretch out your right hand......

Maybe the beautiful little white-faced life is about to begin.

But—

"Alice, be careful!"

Before the tip of the knife could stab Alice's body, I pushed Alice away.

The ring flew out of Alice's hand and fell to the ground.

"Kitten!"

"It hurts!"

I realized that I had taken the knife myself in Alice's place.

Bright red blood stained the wedding dress red.

"Cut. Way! ”

The man who did it was a maid who was hiding in a team of maids. No, it was just a mask, and hiding underneath was a strange man.

"Your Royal Highness! Are you alright? ”

"I'm fine, come and save the kitten!"

Alice desperately pressed her hand against my wound and kept comforting me.

It's a surprise that Alice is such a person, maybe I misunderstood her before.

"Calm down, Your Highness Princess! None of us can save us until we get rid of the enemy in front of us! ”

"I see, kitten, wait for me, I'll come to your rescue right away. Lina, the kitten pleases you. ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

Lina helped me hold the wound in place of Alice.

"Hold on, and soon you'll be saved."

“…… It's okay, I'm fine. ”

"What are you talking about, look like you're a nobody?"

I saw in the mirror that Lena carried with me that I was extremely weak, probably no different from a dying person.

If he dies here again, he will definitely be scolded by Yukona.

"Compared to this...... Prisoner...... Who is the prisoner? ”

"A man I've never seen before."

"He probably ...... It's just the last ...... The murderer of the murder. ”

"Don't think about it yet, we'll catch him."

Enraged, Alice launched a furious attack on the Assassins, who were defeated by Alice's attack.

"How dare you hurt my kitten! Definitely going to kill you! ”

"Cut. Obviously a useless waste princess. ”

"Who sent you?"

"No comment!"

Bang.

Is it a smoke bomb?!

Is there such a thing in this world?

"Damn! No escape! ”

The smoke blocked everyone's view, allowing the Assassin to escape with ease.

Alice stomped her foot indignantly.

"Lilith, go and get me to the bottom of this!"

"Yes, sir."

"Also, call me the best doctor!"

"Yes!"

……

Before I knew it, I had fainted.

When I woke up, I felt a dull pain in my abdomen, which indirectly told me that I wasn't dead yet.

Where is this? What time is it again?

I'm lying on a big bed, big enough to sleep seven or eight people.

There was a guy who fell asleep on his stomach next to my bed, like Alice.

I don't know exactly what happened, but Alice probably saved me.

"Thank you, Alice."

Click.

The door was quietly pushed open, and Linna's head poked in.

When he saw that I was awake, he waved at me.

Do you want me to come over?

I forced myself out of bed in pain.

I was relieved to see that Alice was still asleep.

Before leaving, I draped a blanket over her.

"Huhu...... Kitten ......"

Still talking in my sleep...... What a lovely princess.

"Is there anything you want me to do, Linna?"

I gently closed the door and asked Linna.

"Just follow me."

"Oh......"

Judging from all the things I have done before, I don't think Lena will do me any harm, so I still believe in her.

"Hungry? Do you want me to make you something to eat? ”

It's the kitchen.

Lena took me to the kitchen.

"Hmm...... I'm a little hungry. ”

It may be that I have slept for too long and my stomach does feel empty.

"Wait, I'll make you something to eat."

"Thank you."

"Hmm."

I randomly found a place to sit down.

The kitchen was very large, and it was filled with all kinds of ingredients, many of which I had never seen in Japan, and I couldn't help but keep my eyes open in curiosity.

Knock knock.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

The ingredients change shape in Lina's hands.

Until it became a delicacy.

"Eat."

In a few moments, Lina brought the prepared food to the table.

"It smells so good! I'm moving! ”

I didn't be polite to Lina, so I ate it directly.

Delicious!

It's a delicious delicacy on earth!

"Good...... Eat! ”

The sound of chewing food has completely changed.

"Please, I'll talk about it when you're done eating, I can't hear the babbling clearly."

"Hmm...... Not. ”

"Really, slow down. I can make it for you if you want to eat it. ”

Lena looked at me as she gulped down the food in the bowl and was a little helpless.

"I'm full! Thank you for your hospitality! ”

After eating the food, I touched my stomach and made a happy satiety sound.

"Do you want to eat more?"

"No, enough is enough."

"yes, that's good."

"So, you didn't ask me to come here just because of this, did you?"

"Of course, it's just a small service. I'm going to talk about today. ”

"The Assassin? Do you have any clues? ”

Today's assassin is likely to be the murderer of Sato's father, and I'm going to catch him anyway.

"No, but I can track his location."

"Huh? Can you know where he is? ”

"yes, I'm good at tracking and stuff like that."

"You can't really be a spy sent by the demons, right?"

I suddenly had this question.

"That's right, I'm a spy, and I'm here to kill Her Royal Highness. Go to hell! ”

"Ahh

Feeling a stab in my stomach, I screamed loudly.

"Huh? Am I not dead? Linna, could you please please stop making jokes like this, I almost thought I was going to die. ”

"Of course, if I tried to kill you, you would have died long ago."

Lina played with the chopsticks in her hand and looked at me expressionlessly.

Was it chopsticks that just stabbed me...... It scared me to death, I thought it was a knife again.

"Whew...... Where is the murderer now? ”

"In the slums of the royal capital."

"Are you trying for me to catch him?"

"That's right, as an adventurer, you're good at this kind of thing, right?"

"That's right......"

"Then please."

"But ......"

"I'll tell you about me later."

"Deal!"
