Feast night. Late that night.

The castle of Eurnova, like a giant black mass, nods at the heart of the night of the territorial capital.

The feast is at last complete. Even the servants, who had finished, had already fallen asleep. The deepest time of the night.

In the middle of the night, Yurnova's hounds were waking up their giants.

"All right, all right, you guys"

Eagoli, a bald-headed man with an eyelid in one eye and a hound breeder, called the dogs low.

"The Duke has given you your prey, see?"

What Egoli put up was a gentleman's jacket. The finest, luxurious embroidery on silk. Even if you followed through on all the annual income of the poor, it must not reach the cost of this jacket.

But the jacket was badly dirty and torn.

From behind the hounds, who smell humph, comes the hounds, slightly larger in stature, beautiful with white fur.

"Regina, smell it. If you know what the prey is, don't you?"

The hounds' leader, Regina, sniffed his jacket.

And I wrinkled my nose and grunted... and raised my voice.

"Understand, do you? The Duke will take your friend's vengeance. He's hiding somewhere in this castle. Find him and don't drag him out.

Look, you can't kill him. But even if you're a little angry, your Excellency will be angry.

Come on, go!

When Egoli opened the kennel door, the hounds ran out in unison.

(WHY...... WHY is this happening!

A vast Yurnova Castle garden, an evergreen bush on the corner of it.

Novadyne is trembling in anger and despair, nodding in it to hide herself. The costume I put on for this day was dirty and torn, and my jacket went somewhere. I can't believe how serious I am.

My wife and daughter were captured. Novadyne himself was about to be captured and could barely escape, but there is no escape from this Eurnova Castle. Now sooner or later, they'll find us.

I had my daughter Keira daughter-in-law to Alexei and she was supposed to be a cousin of the Duke's family. I was supposed to be the Duke's stepfather and part of the Duke's family to wield power, such as myself running away and hiding outdoors like this. Wrong.

This wasn't supposed to happen.

Oh, Alexandre, Master Alexandra. How did it pass away so quickly? If the two of you were alive, Keira would have been able to get engaged safely.

"The Countess wants to be the Duchess of Yurnova? That's funny. I didn't think my mother would ever forgive me. '

That's what I said and laughed fun at Alexandre, hiding the bitter thoughts and laughing with him. Still, he didn't give up, pleaded perseverance, and finally got it.

I didn't just beg. For that matter, I did everything.

We had to do something like run for use of the strangers that Master Alexandra had brought in, and we did everything we could to get rid of those who stood in their way.

In doing so, I realized. That Alexandra will respond easily to the demands of the strangers.

No, I'm not responding. But it moves exactly as the strangers want it. That one said he should never do that.

And... once again, I thought.

- Once, Lord Sergei thought it was a kobu over his eyes. He was a tough guy, but suddenly he died...

No matter how many times I begged the two of them, they just made me laugh. That's why I made a deal with the strangers. Instead of asking for their favors, he wants Keira's engagement to be held back.

I should have told them where the money was because I knew their purpose was prickly gold. They were uninterrupted and greedy, but I laughed when I told them that whenever gold moved in the Duchess, and that my daughter could be more helpful if she became Duchess.

The man who was the treasurer.

It wasn't until right after that that that Alexandre gave me the letter. If I also wanted Alexandra's signature, it was immediately fulfilled.

After all that hard work, it was a letter I finally got. So now that you two are gone, I just had to bet on that one. Because I couldn't give up.

I wonder what those strangers were holding onto. I tried to find him, but everyone couldn't see him. I even felt my life was in danger, and I declined. Should I not have given up then?

But when Alexei inherited the title, they suddenly disappeared.

At that time, it was a shame.

Giving money to strangers still didn't feel good. There was some share, but the lead branch of the Duke of Yurnova family seems to be in spill. If they disappear and Keira becomes the Duchess, that money can free herself. When I thought so, the world seemed rosy. There's nothing to be afraid of anymore.

But Alexei was the disaster.

Where is the former treasurer being held captive? Even though it must be the old prison of the castle of Eurnova, before Alexei returned, desperately searching to find it while staying at the castle, it was not found. I kept following through and looking after them even after they kicked me out, but I didn't make it.

If only that man had gotten it, he'd still be in for this tonight......

At that time, from across the bush, I heard a groan like a monster.

Breaking the branches of evergreen trees, something with huge fangs strikes me.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa."

Novadyne exclaimed. He tried to jump up and run out, but the beast was also stripping his fangs forward, screaming even more.

I crawl on all fours and try to escape, but my body doesn't move on.

On the contrary, I was dragged back.

On his feet, the fangs of the beast are eating in. Without any pain, he was dragged out of the bush and further over the ground. In my mouth I can't stop screaming, soil and tree leaves pour in.

- They'll kill me!

Die. Here.

Eat. Die. I don't like it, help me, someone -!

He swung and was thrown away and slapped to the ground. I am distracted by the pain, but when I notice it, I am coughing up and spitting out the soil and leaves in my mouth.

As he crawled to the ground, Novadyne finally saw the beast that attacked him.

Yurnova hounds.

"Ah, ah..."

In the eyes accustomed to the darkness, a bunch of beasts who also bite and kill warcraft look at this one with their shitty glowing eyes. A grunting voice is roaring.

(Ha, I'll fight you......!

I tried to boost my magic. But rusting into years of euthanasia, it doesn't respond in the slightest to the willingness to disturb in fright.

As I perceived it, a large white hairy hound stepped forward.

"Gaaaaaa"

Jumping up, Novadyne ran out.

Where and how did you escape?

Driven around by the hounds, he ran into a small building to escape and be driven through the gardens of Komatsumatsu Castle. Barely closing the door, slouching into the spot.

Once, with great force, the door was pushed open and Novadyne rolled down the floor.

"Excuse me."

The more out of place, the better the voice of affection.

A tall young man, who lowered the rainbow stone lights, came in through a pushed open door. In the eyes used to the darkness, the rainbow stone gleams. but whenever I threw Novadyne out of the castle, I knew he was Alexei's servant.

Plus the other one.

A long figure steps into the door.

"I didn't expect you to escape into Zephyrus' stables."

"Or, my lord..."

To Alexei's low voice, Novadyne trembled.

I thought he was in the castle.

"Ha..."

"I know I've been sniffing around about where the former treasurer was. Anna, your maid of honor, has already fired her."

Novadyne just shivers.

"Did the former CFO think he didn't say anything?"

The words took my breath away. So... did you know beforehand? The existence of that letter.

"The man you searched for is not in the castle. But you have to spend the rest of your time in the castle."

Alexei has an eye on the stables wall. There, a painting of a human horse floats in the light of a light.

"Do you remember Zephyrus? You killed him."

Alexei's voice was unusually sentimental.

"I should have left you alone then. If you were dying, Zephyrus would have bitten you to death. Zephyrus just died covering me as I went in between trying to make him stop"

Behind Novadyne's brain, the sight of that time rises. It was a cloudy, clean video.

Running out of the mansion, Alexei covered her back with an abominable warcraft horse. I was always hatefully calm, a wise kid, but I was desperate to scream then.

So... I was going to tease you a little bit and let you shake your sword up. It was just a joke. I was drunk.

But the beast roared tremendously, and broke between Alexei and the sword.

It was awesome killing. That's why I put my sword out of my mind. I did that over and over again. If you don't, because the beast has attacked you...

It was the truth of Zephyrus' death, which Alexei did not tell Ekaterina to grieve.

"Ha, ha"

Novadyne makes a tight laugh.

"You were... unusual and childish then. I saw your crying face and all that because that's when."

Gah! And there was a shock, and Novadyne rolled down the floor again. My servant let go of the kick.

"Excuse me, my lord. Do your own imitation."

"Fine.... I might have done that myself before"

To his bowing servant, Alexei shakes his head. I don't know what to think, the tone of the second half was rather mild.

But my eyes on Novadyne, they're just cold.

"You escaped from the Territorial Guard and are missing. No matter what happens to you, nobody knows anything."

Novadyne stiffened. So they let themselves get away on purpose?

No, I was pushed, in Alexei's hands. No one, I don't. Then I will remain what Alexei thinks.

"You know, in the basement of this castle, there are a number of giant furnaces. It's for winter heating. From the end of autumn to the end of spring, the furnace will not be constantly on fire.

That's where you spend your time. "

Novadyne turned pale.

Alexei smiles.

"Day and night, you are no longer familiar... just count and wait for the first snow"

The knights dragged Novadyne, who kept screaming, and Alexei followed the stables with Ivan.

"By the end of the night, you're going to have to wash up and talk about what you know. You can really burn him like that."

Ivan says brightly. But Alexei shook her head.

"No. That makes the upper echelons of the Duke's territory wide open, and murder could leave a source of evil. Hold it down for the time being. … you can clean up at any time. We should use it more effectively anyway."

After being cold, Alexei softened her expression.

"Besides, Ekaterina wouldn't like that. I don't want them to hate me."

"If you're a lady, I won't hate you for what you've done."

"Oh, that kid will understand and forgive me.... but I don't think you should be sweet about it because you forgive everything"

It's like him, it's a serious word. Though many people continue to demand more from each other than they forgive.

"There was only one thing the lady could not forgive. Your Excellency stays up late at work."

"Right. We need to get some rest."

Alexei laughed at Ivan's words, and his subordinates returned early to the castle.
