Before I could even wield my dagger, my last weapon flew into the claws of the monster.
Embarrassed, I scratched my cheek and looked back.
Eustia had a face that said, 'That's it'.
"Help me, Papa."
Unlike when I faked squeezing out tears, now my tears really come out.
All I could rely on was Visenna's family, whom I'd called a monster a while ago.
As the tears welling up in my eyes were about to fall to the floor, two men with swords were blocking me.
"In that case, You should have called this older brother, child."
"You are asking the wrong person, Ciel."
On the right was Ferze, and on the left was Sharkis.
The two tall men standing with their backs to me were about the same height.
Sharkis, with a sword in his left hand, sighed lightly as he looked at me in fear.
Ferze was looking at me with a sharp gaze to see if I was injured or not.
A monster growling on the backs of two handsome prey that looked bigger and more demanding.
It was salivating judging from how hungry it was. With a face that said it would be delicious no matter which one you eat.
I hoped that neither my step-brother nor my fake fiancée would be preyed upon.
In the rush of nervousness, I squeezed the leftover cookies.
After all, I'll have to give the one leftover to the one who kills the monster.
"Get out of the way, both of you."
Then I heard a low voice behind my back.
I don't know when it happened, but Eustia was aiming a bow imbued with magic at the monster.
The black bow surrounded by magical power was a threat to anyone looking at it.
"I'll take care of this."
It was a warning that he would blow the whole thing with the monster if he had to.
Still, the two men did not step aside.
"Dogs of Visenna. As a member of Imperial family, I order you, do not interfere!"
While off guard, Ferze ran to the monster first with his sword in hand.
'I guess the status is still allover.'
A car that was thinking like that, I heard a sharp object cutting through the wind. As I was thinking about that, I heard the sound of a sharp object cutting through the wind.
Psyuu!!
An arrow flew from Eustia's hand and passed Ferze's cheek.
I couldn't figure out the Duke's intentions, whether he was trying to kill the monster or if he wanted to send my fake fiancee away.
Swiik!!
The body of the monster was pierced at once by the harsh blue arrow.
"...keek..ek"
The wolf-like monster died before he could feel his death.
"I haven't said I'll give you my daughter yet, Your Highness."
While Ferze faced the monster and looked back, Eustia, who was walking slowly, held me in his arms.
"Duke Eustia, I haven't recognized you as Papa yet."
I was suddenly held in the Duke's arms, and in anger, I pulled out his fine black hair.
I know you tried to kill me.
"You villain! Don't bully the Grand Duke!"
I grabbed the Duke's head, with a hand like a fern, whether Ferze saw it or not.
The knights of the Duke who came to clean up the body of the monster, froze when they saw the scene.
There is a saying in the world. It is said that if you don't have fear, you will live a short life.
It was the perfect word for the current situation.
The moment the place became quiet, I instinctively realized.
The fact that I will be buried in a coffin as an adopted daughter.
"......Uh. I think you lost your hair."
Before I knew it, I had a handful of Duke Eustia's hair in my palm.
Eyes that had nowhere to go wandered here and there.
Fortunately, Eustia was a Immortal Duke, and a little hair loss was not a problem.
At this point, I had a question.
Will his hair fall out if I burn it? Or does it get a hole?
Not to mention Eustia Visenna's beauty, even if he's bald, he'll still look good.
"Duke Eustia..."
I tried to throw his hair on the floor, but I plucked up the courage to call the Duke, who was still holding me.
