「It might be a little unnatural for the <Winston’s Shields> in the capital to be on Bayonaire Island.
You have to explain your relationship with me.
The Crown Prince (there was a trace that she wrote ‘Sislin’ but erased it) is a quick-witted person.
Please be careful.
Looking forward to a fun party, Annette.」
It was a note that thoroughly thought of Kyle’s position.
He was thankful that she cared about him like this even though she must be confused.
Usually, when someone’s told a secret, they only keep it to the extent that they don’t reveal it to others.
But she was more attentive and considerate than that.
Kyle blushed and wrapped his hands around his face.
“…I’m falling for you day by day.”
It was a really serious illness.
How could a person’s face and heart be this pretty?
Kyle was blushing, and the Larva members looked at each other and exchanged glances that said, ‘Master, again…’
However, this innocently handsome man was so engrossed with Annette and his own world (even without Annette) that he did not know their gazes.
What kind of letter did Annette send to you?
When the ferocious-looking men were curious, Chubby stepped up and peeked at the letter. Then he read it out loud indifferently.
“Crown Prince Sislin is coming to the party tomorrow.”
“What?”
There was a calm stir among the members, surprised by the unexpected name.
They heard that the reason for setting up Larva’s base in Bayonaire, a rural area, was because of Annette.
It was very burdensome to have the crown prince appear at the village party (although, of course, it was also a bit too much for the marquis to appear).
The same thought came to the minds of the members of Larva, who had been careful in hiding their appearance.
“Well, I can’t help it. You all think the same, right?”
“Yes. I’m thinking the same thing.”
“I agree.”
The terrifying-looking men all nodded.
Tomorrow, they were going to attend in the most <Winston’s Shield> fashion.
—People look pretty different depending on their clothes, and their credibility changes.
In their experience of hiding their identities as Larva, humans were weaker than expected to the ‘unconsciousness’.
With their sword-like figure in formal uniforms given by the empire, it was difficult to recall Larva, who ruled the ‘lawless zone.’
The big guy stroked his beard and laughed.
“Are we going to our first party in uniform?”
“Our uniforms are cool.”
“It’s not comfortable, but our faces will actually look less hideous.”
Then, the quiet one-eyed man said to Kyle.
“Master, why don’t we give up the party tomorrow? I think it’s time to save your own skin. If it’s true that the Crown Prince deliberately ordered a ‘false suppression order’… Isn’t that a little dangerous?”
Kyle, who was listening silently, replied.
“It’s more suspicious to avoid it now. And…”
His dark green eyes deepened.
“I don’t want to avoid it.”
“……!”
The determined mouth held arsenic.
“I’d like to hear what the Devil of Crevasse has to say.”
Sometimes their master was terribly fearless and bold.
Enough to rip off a beast’s mouth with his bare hands.
And it was clear that the moment of ‘fearlessly bold’ had come.
The ferocious men were all thinking the same thing at this moment.
‘It’s going to be quite a sight tomorrow.’
━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━
Late evening.
Heinrich decided to stay at Annette’s house for another day today.
Heinrich’s logic was that he would come to Annette’s house to attend the party tomorrow anyway, so why should he leave today?
After dinner, Heinrich sneaked out of <Little Bakery>.
It was to meet Duncan.
[Your investigation is over, Your Excellency.]
It was a background check on that Kyle or something.
‘Let’s see how great he is.’
As Heinrich walked toward the carriage, Duncan noticed like a ghost and came out first to greet him politely.
“Here you are, Your Excellency.”
Heinrich, who could not hide his hasty temper, omitted the greeting and asked,
“What kind of kid is he?”
“The full name is Kyle Winston, the current Marquis of El Dorado, who leads <Winston’s Shield>.”
His eyes shot up.
“What?”
‘He’s a Winston. That’s why he used a shotgun. Where did I hear of it before…’
“Please look at this for more information.”
It wasn’t until Heinrich passed through the documents with detailed information under the title of ‘Kyle Winston’ that he found out.
Why Kyle was so arrogant.
He was a bastard who had been catching beasts on the battlefield since childhood.
