"It's the same. both the emperor and the prince. Even an unknown wizard. They are all just prey."

It was a very light tone, as if he was about to hunt a fox.

Confusion arose as to whether he was worried and afraid over trivial matters.

To me, they all feel like big monsters chasing after me.

Is it because I'm too cowardly?

If I was strong like Edwin, would I be able to say that? Can't you be afraid?

Edwin reached out to me, standing like a lost child. A warm hand touched his eyes.

"Crawford doesn't run away. Even if my body is torn, I will fight back."

Even in a serious moment, my heart, the size of a pea, was pounding anxiously when I heard that I was fighting to the point that my whole body was torn.

Noticing my nursery rhyme, Edwin grinned.

"I will fight against it. Don't run away, Lina."

Edwin wrinkled one eye as if he knew the size of my heart.

I felt relieved and at the same time sorry for the playful behavior.

Because of me, the burden he will bear is too heavy.

"The bride must be protected by the groom."

"... ... I will protect you too."

To be honest, I want to entrust everything to Edwin and hide behind him to ensure my safety.

Because there are only those who are too strong and scary for me to face.

However, my conscience did not allow me to leave everything to Edwin and hide.

It was a matter of my survival.

Although I am neither strong nor strong like Edwin, I wanted to do my best.

Because it is only me who can use the knowledge of the original and heal Edwin with jewelery.

"Lina is already protecting me."

Edwin took my hand and placed it on my chest.

It was as if my regular beating heart was telling me that I was living because of me.

'okay. You and me, we need each other.'

As soon as I realized that fact, my heart, which was heavy with a feeling of debt, became a little lighter.

Also, knowing that I wasn't the only one who relied on it, my heart was filled with pride, and a smile was put on my mind.

"Be pretty."

Edwin softly rolled his eyes to see if he was infected by my smile.

"Can I kiss you?"

The corners of his mouth, which had risen pleasantly at the sudden question, creaked.

"You have to get permission. I want to no?"

"That, that... ... ."

In an instant, the kisses of the past came to mind, and his face heated up.

Averting his gaze in embarrassment, he followed closely and brought his face closer.

"no? Then, why did you smile so beautifully?"

Edwin raised his eyebrows sullenly.

Seeing her heartbroken like a child who had lost candy even though it wasn't my fault, it seemed like it was all my fault.
