Chapter 14: Chapter 43: The Wintere Clan’s Territory

A couple of days have passed since then, and Montana, who’s been preparing to leave the palace, was surprised to hear a sudden knock on her door. She apologized and asked the visitor to wait as she was about to finish. But just as she was about to start packing again, he called out to her with a familiar voice.

Kai: Then let me in, I’ll help you

Montana: K-Kai?! What’re you… (wait, what am I—)

O-one second!

She rushed to open the door. Upon doing so, he smiled as he greeted her. He did so by striking a pose, tugging his hair back in an attempt to look cooler. Montana, who knew what he was thinking, felt pity as she stared at him emotionlessly.

Montana: (sigh*) Stop that… You look stupid

Montana said coldly as she turned around to go back inside. Kai, as usual, was unaffected by this. But he could no longer resist now that she turned her back against him. However, just as he was about to reach out to her, Montana suddenly turned and shoved his face away. Confused, Kai spoke, only to stop upon feeling someone’s presence.

Thanks to the spell that he had prepared ahead of time, Kai was glad to see that it was only one of Montana's maids. Montana, who already expected this, advised him to leave if he didn’t want to help. Kai, who suddenly felt like teasing her, made sure to wait until the maid came and entered his line of vision. When their gazes met, the maid slowed down and stopped. She was surprised as he smiled, winking as he gestured at her to stay quiet. The maid stood there, dumbfounded, as he entered the room. Kai, who had left her there in such a state, laughed inside, remembering how flushed the maid's face was.

Now inside, Kai looked around the room and noticed her already packed luggage. He was surprised to see Montana, who was struggling as she reached for something in her closet. Kai laughed, as quietly as he could, making sure that she didn't hear. As he got closer, he called out to her.

Kai: Pfft, how ridiculous…

Montana: Wha?

Montana was furious as she turned, thinking that he was making fun of her. She then was surprised to see that he was already so close and felt flustered as he held her arm. He then called out to her, having gotten the clothes that she wanted. It was also at this point that she regained herself and thanked the boy.

Before they went silent, and making things awkward, they spoke at the same time, surprising each other. Kai then smiled, finding it funny that they thought of the same thing. He then continued, telling her that she could go first. But knowing that she never had a topic to discuss in the first place, she turned around, telling him to take the bags to the carriage. Kai just stood there, watching as she continued to pack.Kai: (why does she seem so…)

Still feeling Kai’s presence, Montana sighed as she called out to him, asking what he was doing.

Kai: Is… Something wrong?

Montana: (?) I don’t know what you mean

Kai: You seem troubled Mon

Montana: …Hehe-I do?

You’re mistaken (I’m just—)

Kai, whose patience had run out, sighed in irritation as he came closer to the girl. Montana was surprised to see his expression and knew that he was actually being serious. She chose to ignore him and kept on packing.

Kai: Is it because of the boy?

Montana’s eyes widened upon hearing him. She thought to herself as to why he was acting so strange, as if he was concerned. But seeing as she made a reaction, Kai finally realized what bothered her.

Kai: Are you still bothered by it?

That was over two weeks ago

Montana: ….I—

Kai: Plus, isn’t he okay now? Even Dain said so…

No one else was hurt, and it was just an accident…

Montana still stood silent, remembering what had happened, the events that continued to haunt her every night. She held her arms and turned. Knowing that it was a habit of hers whenever she was uncomfortable, Kai went closer and grabbed her by the shoulders, making her face him.

Kai: I don’t know what happened, or who that boy is… (All I know is that he’s your servant)

But I do believe that—No, I know that he wouldn’t hurt you

Montana: (Kai…) S-sorry I just…

She thought of the way The Second gripped her neck. She was scared, knowing that what she saw wasn’t him, but a monster that laid inside him. Kai disrupted her in her thoughts and spoke.

Kai: His eyes… Isn’t that of a person that would attack without reason

chuckled as he ruffled through his hair, putting her backpack on as he took two of the heaviest bags. Montana, who finished packing the last bag, felt awkward while thinking of what the crowd might think upon seeing Kai, a prince, carrying her baggage.

Montana: A-ahh—Kai! Wait!

Kai: Hmm?

Montana: ….I’ll take this

She said after asking him to lean down, taking her backpack. Kai, who was surprised, offered to carry it, but seeing as Montana declined persistently, he gave up and followed as they left the room. The two were surprised as they meet the helpers, who were supposed to be the ones to carry Montana’s baggage. Shocked, they couldn’t do anything but watch as Montana excuses them before going past them. Kai, who was a bit taller than them, leaned down and fixed his grip on the bags.  

Kai: Don’t worry boys, I got this

With that, the two left and went straight to the station where Montana’s carriage was. As they loaded the baggage in the carriage, Montana couldn’t help but feel awkward as random people came and stared at them before going on with their lives. Having finished loading the cargo, Kai goes up to the carriage side and rests his arms on the window side, staring intently at Montana.

Montana: Wh-what

Kai: ….Nothin’

Montana: ….We’ll be going now so…

Kai: Ahh, Yeahh… Take care

He said while getting off. He was then greeted by Leo, who came as Montana’s entourage.

Hours later, Montana gets off the carriage and spins around, breathing deeply as she stretches her body. Leo, who followed from behind, asked if she could take it easier. Montana, who didn’t listen, eagerly rushed forward and climbed the stairs, leaving the small group to carry her baggage. Leo, who saw them, offered help as he turns his head, watching as the Princess climbed the stairs.

Leo: (Will she really be okay?)

With the entrance right in front of her, she takes a deep breath as she stepped forward. Upon entering, she was flustered with the people who kept pushing from behind her. She leans downward and brushes her dress off with her hands. As she stood up, she was left in awe as she gazed unto the beauty, the art of the building displayed perfectly. Everything she saw, from the furniture to the ceiling, was exquisite and clean.

Unaware of the person calling out to her, she continued to examine each design carefully. Sally, who finally had grown tired of calling out to her, tapped her shoulder from behind. Montana, who was surprised by this, turned, and was greeted by her a bit awkwardly. As they chatted, reconnecting to each other, Sally receives a sudden call. She was surprised by this, and awkwardly laughed upon realizing who it was calling her. She then apologizes to Montana and turns around, accepting the call.

Montana watched as she talked, she was worried, seeing Sally’s expression in such a troubled way. After finishing her call, she went closer to Montana and guided her towards a certain room. Leo, who finally had caught up to them, went with the two, only to be stopped upon reaching the door.

Leo: Princess…

Montana: I’ll be fine Leo

Sally entered first, introducing the guest that was Montana. Upon entering, she gazes at the beauty who stood at the corner of the room, looking at the kingdom through the glass wall. Upon feeling her presence, she comes closer and offered the two to sit. Sally, who still seemed troubled, stood still and later on excused herself, after asking the two what food or drink they wanted. With that, Sally leaves and with the two now alone, Montana spoke, hoping to end the stilted mood.    

Montana: This place is amazing, everything looked so nice

Athena: Haha~ Is that so?

Your praise is too much your Highness

Montana: N-no, I really do mean it—

The two continued to chat, when Sally entered. She was surprised to see the change in Athena’s mood. Before they could dig in, she took what she saw as an opportunity to leave. The mood was bright as they continued to chat. That was until the sudden change in Athena’s expression.

Athena: ….How is he?

That... servant of yours I mean

Montana: (hmm?) He’s… healing…

“She answered rather quickly,” Athena thought. The entire time, Athena was trying to get a read on her, to get rid of the thought in her mind that she claimed to have distracted her. As their meeting came to an end, with Montana leaving at sunset, Athena sighs deeply as she watched them from above.

“How cruel.” She thought to herself, irritated by the thought that she had faced a dead end. Little did she know that while they were talking, Montana wore a certain ring. The ring that had sealed away the very boy she spoke of, the boy whose mere existence and origin is unknown.
