He didn’t feel good. He wasn’t feeling well either.
He wanted to scold her for coming into the Prince’s room, but it’s not just in front of Dyson he had to lie to.
“The walls of the palace have eyes, and the ceiling has ears.”
Cassion was reminded of his mother’s advice.
Maybe Dyson was the one who sent her to look at his condition.
“Who, who are you? H-how did you get in there?”
Cassion said foolishly, raising his eyebrows and blinking his eyes.
It was his play-dumb act.
“Oh, my God! You’re such a good actor.”
But the girl looked through his performance.
Cassion’s eyes, which had gone round, gradually became smaller. His eyes that pretended to be innocent turned into doubtful looks.
“Did you hear what I said earlier?”
Cassion, who realized he had been exposed, shut up.
Silence was the best defense at times like this.
The girl opened her mouth as if she had no intention of hearing back from him in the first place.
“Son of a b*tch.”
A profanity that didn’t go well with her fine lips came out naturally.
Cassion grimaced at that.
“What was it again? The spirit goddess Helva……….”
She has heard everything.
It was meaningless to play dumb when she had already heard it all.
Cassion leaned lazily on the sofa, relaxing his stiff shoulders.
“I won’t let them get away. Not even Helva, the spirit Goddess of justice and destruction, will save them.”
Cassion himself completed the sentence that the girl was trying to recite.
“Oh, that’s right! It wasn’t a creative one, but it was still a curse. Why didn’t you try to write it down all this time? You look talented,” the girl continued with a single smile.
“Who are you?”
Cassion did not stutter anymore.
When he opened his eyes, his innocent look disappeared and became sharp and meaningful.
The girl reached out her hand.
Cassion stared down at her hand that was a little bigger and paler than his.
“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Your Highness. Diana Viola Irenberg, the heir to Duke Irenberg. And also the rope you need to hold on to live.”

“Who are you? How did you get in there?”
When Cassion saw me, he stammered and acted innocently.
Look at this cute thing.
If I hadn’t heard him swearing passionately earlier, I would have been fooled by Cassion’s acting.
