Still not wanting to end it there, Niol bent down and whispered in her ear. "Delia." At the low whispered voice, Delia flinched and pushed against his chest with her hands. Unmoved by her push, he laughed lightly, patted her head once, and stepped back. "Thanks for giving me room to breathe." Delia nodded awkwardly while properly adjusting her mask. "You should go back inside. And stop avoiding Marquis Bennett, meet with him properly." Niol stared at her intently as if thinking about…-

CH 12 Peacock, lion, cat, swan. Masks decorated with brilliant feathers and jewels glided gracefully through the banquet hall. True to the nature of a masquerade ball, no one could easily identify another's identity. There were only two beings they could recognize. The Crown Prince and Princess seated in the VIP section. The pure white mask decorated with gold trim sparkled with light jewels and bore luxuriant feathers. Even behind the mask, their innate elegance and dignity could not be…

Here and there, one by one, choking sounds burst forth. As three or four people collapsed to the floor, the atmosphere in the ballroom instantly became sharp. Thud. The band stopped playing. A suffocating tension like dead silence covered the hall. The Sheriton soldiers tore off their cumbersome outer garments and immediately entered combat stance. Once they took their positions, the Floren soldiers who had been quietly surrounding Delia became instantly visible. 'It's starting.' Delia's tense…

Looking back, her memories seemed to halt at the ballroom, as if frozen in time. 'I think I saw Kaiel leaving the ballroom......' Considering her current situation, things didn't seem to have ended well. 'Did Niol lose? What about Ashlene? What happened to Kaiel?' As Delia tried to continue her thoughts, she closed her eyes again due to a sudden headache. 'Seems the penalty hasn't ended yet.' Today too, the system was merciless as always. For Niol getting a large wound on his back…

'I don't understand any of this at all.' Matisse's words from earlier, Niol's words, and Kromer Shuden's words all seemed unbelievable. Untimely emotions and thoughts about Kaiel cluttered her mind. Just as Delia was shaking her head to scatter these various thoughts… Upon spotting someone, Delia shouted urgently. "Watch out!" A Floren soldier had rushed toward Chlois, who was crouched in a corner. Delia's body reflexively sprang forward. 'This is exactly why I told her to stay…

The man called Vernon flinched at the news of the king's death and let out a small sigh. However, the sound was so quiet that no one heard it. Niol continued speaking. "Since the Grand Duke's riding speed is much faster than most people, Ashlene should be safe too. No need to worry about the Grand Duke...... Ah, Miss Bennett might not be able to show her face in social circles anymore." "Why?" "She handed you over to these guys." Delia's lips trembled. 'Chlois......' Niol ran his hand…

Kaiel remained still as she held him, then lightly but firmly swung one arm to extinguish the torch. The burnt smoke stung their noses before dispersing far away. The surroundings instantly darkened. When Delia looked up at him, he spoke as if making an excuse. "It's unpleasant to see blood getting on your body." After throwing the torch to the ground as well, he reached out with his now-free hands to cup Delia's face. "Wh-what are you trying to do?" His right thumb slowly rubbed her…

"What?" "Tell me you won't hate me, Delia." Delia thought to herself. 'I'm the one bringing bad luck, why is Niol saying such things?' "Delia?" "Your Highness, please don't resent me either no matter what happens on the way." Though they were clearly asking for the same thing, the meaning behind those requests was completely different. Both Delia and Niol nodded reluctantly without properly understanding each other's words. "Alright. Let's go." Niol urged the horse forward…

Somehow the changed flow seemed to be causing unfortunate events. Regret kept blooming in her heart that she should have completed her mission earlier. It would have been better when she didn't know anything and her feelings weren't so deep. But what could she do about it now? Even if she went back to the past, Delia would have made the same choice ten or a hundred times. She would have tried to postpone it as long as possible and tried to diverge from the original story. She had run so hard…

Delia, wondering if something was wrong with her eyes, leaned in closer to look. Kaiel, who had been waiting for this moment, immediately wrapped his arm around Delia's waist and pulled her onto the bed. When the startled Delia let out a short scream, his large hand covered her mouth. "Be quiet. Everyone's sleeping." At those words, Delia relaxed her body. Just as she seemed to be getting docile, her soft tongue immediately licked his palm. "......!" Kaiel quickly removed his hand that had been…
