As if he had touched something dirty, Cardan shook his hand immediately.
“I’m sorry, I’m such a disloyal servant.”
When I tried to bend down, Cardan shook his hand.
“Wipe the blood. Anyone who sees you might think you’re the one who fought the assassin and not me.”
Cardan took off his hood and threw it into a chair.
“Well, then.”
Cardan sat down on the bed and shook his head.
“If you die, I’ll be in a lot of trouble, too.”
“Your Majesty’s grace is like the river.”
I had no choice but to look at Cardan eagerly.
That’s why this scene is so bad now.
He saved me twice, but that’s not enough to keep me from being afraid.
Some might think that Cardan is my servant.
Even if he couldn’t kill me because of the unknown contract, she must never provoke Cardan, a short-tempered person.
The change in her attitude was quick.
“If I had known that the Emperor was coming, I would have prepared the most luxurious tent, but I would give you my bed. Please feel free to use it.”
“That’s what I was going to do from the beginning.”
Cardan lay down on my bed without hesitation.
Because he was tall, his feet poke out of the bed, but Cardan, who had his arms folded behind his head, looked very comfortable with his one foot nodding.
“Ha-ha, then make yourself at home in my bed.”
I looked for a place to sleep. Eventually, I couldn’t find a suitable place so I lay down on a carpet on the floor.
“The floor is enough.”
For a while, Cardan looked down at me without saying a word.
His gaze made my face prickly when I saw it.
In the original novel, Cardan, was crazy about women that he was famous for his messy relationships with them. I can’t believe she let such a person into her tent.
I sat down unconsciously and leaned back.
No way…
“Of course not.”
A dull word fell over my head.
Well, as expected.
In the original novel, even if he had changed his women like that, he would never touch her as much as the Duke of Baloa.
I felt like I was getting excited by myself, so I turned around a little awkwardly.
But anything would be better than being left alone in this tent.
It felt very strange. The man who will kill me later on, saved me so many times today.
Perhaps that’s why even if the floor was so cold and hard, it was tolerable.
I don’t think so…

“Cwold.”
I shivered on the horse.
Since she slept on the ground last night, her slightly turned mouth did not return completely, forcing her to keep repeating “Cwold” instead of “cold.”
The closer we got to the border, the worse the temperature dropped.
It is said that it takes a few more days to get to there, and if the temperature drops further, by the time she reaches the county, I will have trouble of calling Count Gesban, “Geshiba“.
But it was impossible to drive out the emperor, who had begun to use my cot as he did every night.
It was really annoying.
I glared at Cardan. Still in his hood, he was riding his horse leisurely.
Perhaps he was interested in the trip, so he shamelessly joined us.
Thanks to this, I sweated a lot to hide his identity. Fortunately, he made an excuse that he was a nobleman who knew her personally, so the knights stopped inquiring.
Cardan, who skillfully rides the horse, looked like someone who came out of a game.
She was working late on the trip to take care of the emperor’s paperwork, and has to sleep on the ground and fold the thin carpet in half to cover them.
It looked very nice.
I ended up raising my hand.
“I think the shun is gwoing down, itsh going be dwark shoon. I think this is it for thooday.”
(I think the sun is going down, it’s going to be dark soon. I think this is it for today.)
“What?”, asked the Knights Chief. He looked bewildered to everyone’s eyes.
“Letsh go, let’s dooh it.”
(Let’s go, let’s do it.)
Inside, I cursed Cardan hard and rolled my stiff tongue with all my might.
“Oh, oh, yes. I’m sorry. This is my fault for not being able to see the condition of the duke.”
Her internal curses became even more intense.
The campsite was cleaned up twice as quickly as usual, perhaps because the commander of the Knights was quite surprised by my “state.”
Inside my tent, I crouched down in front of the stove, warming myself up, then Cardan came in.
“Your Majesty!”
I sprang to my feet and dragged the stove in front of the cot.
“Ha-ha. I was checking to see if it was working properly.”
My tongue, which had been un-paralyzed by the fire, has warmed up a little, but if I shudder on the ground again tonight, one side of my face will harden again.
“Then have a peaceful night.”
I bent down and picked up a carpet. If I fold this carefully, I can make something like a sleeping bag.
Cardan looked down at me as I rolled the rug with all my might. I heard a short sigh.
