Upon seeing Jung Hayan constantly crying behind Kim Hyunsung, my conscience stabbed at me.

She cried the whole way the entire time we rode back to Lindel, so it was perfectly reasonable to feel guilty. However, I had no choice but to maintain my serious expression.

'I'm sorry, Hayan.'

I had to show her that I was still angry. If I didn't, I would get myself into an unpleasant situation.

Not only did she suddenly crash into Yuno Kasugano's room, but she also harmed the other guild members of the Yozora Guild.

She even deemed to use magic inside the castle. Though it was not intense, it still had the power to destroy the castle. From the standpoint of the aristocracy that had been present, it was a pretty serious incident considering it hadn't been a long time after the Ito Souta incident.

They wondered if there was something wrong between Yozora and Blue, trying to catch the most popular rumors, but that proved to be an impossible feat.

Since this was an accident that happened in the castle, it would not be possible to hide this.

Since Yozora Guild and Blue were in an alliance, however, we could easily cover up the event.

If Yuno Kasugano didn't have full control of Yozora, it would have been a big incident that could cause irreparable damage to the relationship between Blue and Yozora.

'Fuck...'

Of course, it was evidently a big incident for me as well. I had to convince Jung Hayan somehow, but there was no way I'd be able to convince her. It was clear that logic wouldn't work on her, which was why I took the option of acting all angry.

I was able to end the case by acting as if nothing had happened and getting angry instead over how rude Hayan had been. I knew there were many more options I could have taken, but I didn't have the time to think about it because I felt embarrassed enough about the entire situation.

Though we were covered by one blanket and had evidently spent the night together, I continued explaining that what Jung Hayan thought had happened did not actually happen.

Although I was almost naked, I made an excuse, saying it was needed for the ritual to do magic.

When I managed to lie without batting an eyelid, I surprised even myself by how naturally I seemed.

'I really am complete garbage.'

For a moment, I felt similar to the sh*tty black world Lee Kiyoung. The reaction my acting incited was even more impressive.

Jung Hayan began to look doubtful at how convincing I sounded.

I knew that to keep up with the act, I had to successfully maintain my acting. I started by telling her how disappointed I was in her, then informing her of how rude she was. I then told her that she needed to reflect on her actions.

Afterward, I asked her to apologize to all the Yozora guild members.

Yuno Kasugano, who was quick to notice, jumped on the acting, thereby making Jung Hayan seem like the traitor among us.

As a result, I had to keep the cold façade up until now.

'Sorry, Hayan...'

Didn't they say that the one who loved more was also the weaker one in a relationship? This event proved that.

With embarrassment, guilt, and realization over how impulsive she had been, Jung Hayan remained shell-shock in that situation, not knowing how to react.
