I couldn’t even raise my head and bit my lips.

“I heard a call for help, so I rushed here—”

Richard muttered in a low voice and moved forward. 

Where is he going? I couldn’t bear to raise my head and only looked at Richards’ legs moving. 

And the place where Richard’s leg stopped was where my mask fell. Then he picked up my mask.

What is he going to do with that—.

“It seems like this is your first time killing someone, Miss Shabrina.”

“….”

“Don’t worry. In fact, killing people isn’t as big as Miss Shabrina thinks.”

What kind of nonsense is he talking about? Ordinary people don’t kill people in the first place! They don’t even think about that!

I wondered if it was comforting that I couldn’t get back to it, but it seemed like that wasn’t the case with that personality.

“Don’t you need this?”

Richard put a mask in front of me.

However, he unconsciously reaches for the mask and cleans it up right away.

“…What are you doing?”

“It looks like there is blood on your face, are you going to wear a mask as it is?”

“…it’s none of your business. Give me the mask.”

However, Richard didn’t willingly hand over the mask. 

“Hey.”

When I call him as if to urge him, Richard speaks only at that moment.

“I wonder.”

“…To return my mask?”

“That too, but I’m curious about Miss Shabrina’s face, so I’m wondering if I should check it like this.” 

“…don’t talk nonsense and just give me my mask.”

“….”

“Give it to me!”

I shouted at him. 

Normally, I would have been able to pass slyly. 

However, it was difficult to deal with Richard now that my mental state was unstable.

Because the moment when blood spurted from the knight’s neck lingered in my mind. 

I feel nauseous.

“Please take it.”

Richard handed me the mask and put a handkerchief inside the mask. 

“Isn’t it uncomfortable to wear a mask as it is?”

“….”

“I’d like to wipe it for you if I could, but I thought you wouldn’t like it.”

“…You know it well.”

I accepted the mask without saying thank you.

The handkerchief was also handed over, but I didn’t feel grateful. 

Just a little bit, I thought this situation was miserable. 

I wiped the blood off my face with the handkerchief I received from Richard.

But the blood wasn’t easy to clean up.

There was a sticky feeling on the face, which was already hard and dry. 

I wiped off only the wet part and put on the mask again.

“I’ll get you up.”

“Nevermind.”

I can get up alone. I’m not even a child—.

“Ugh.”

However, it was difficult to get up properly because the whole body trembled and overshadowed such thoughts. 

In the end, Richards caught me, and it seemed impossible to insist on walking alone.

“I’ll help you.”

Noticing my condition, Richard gently closed his eyes and smiled. 

“…Thank you.”

“Don’t mention it.”

Eventually, I walked with Richard’s help.

“Miss Shabrina.”

“…What?”

“Miss Shabrina smells like blood.”

“…Because there’s blood on it?”

“It’s strangely exciting.”

“…Are you crazy?”

Richard laughed instead of answering.

“And I have something to say to Miss Shabrina….”

Richard mumbled slowly, sweeping the back of my hand slowly with his finger.

“Never take off your mask in front of me.”

“….”

“I have little self-control.”

What the hell is he talking about?

I mean, did he really not know who I was?

He secretly whispers that he knows who I am but warns me not to reveal my identity. 

I didn’t answer back to what he said. 

And that’s how we got out of the woods.

As soon as I left the forest, I saw people. 

People who found me covered in blood and being supported by Richard looked surprised.

“Aide, what happened—!”

“What happened to the attack?”

“…It wasn’t an attack. We must have misunderstood because there was a problem on our side.’ 

As expected. 

What I had guessed returned to certainty.

“The Baron— is in the room.”

“I see.”

I’m glad Michelle’s safe.

I scanned the Count with a cold face. 

What should I do?

******

“That b*tch Shabrina coming back alive!”

The Count hated Gilbert, who could only scream like a pig.

I can’t believe his territory’s fate depends on a guy like this. 

How ridiculous. 

“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of it for sure next time.”

“Do I look like I don’t have to worry now? Shabrina that b*tch, and Michelle, both are fine!”

A few hours ago, as he informed Shabrina that it was a raid, he told Michelle that she had to evacuate because it was a raid.

But there was an unexpected situation.
