THE NOVEL'S EXTRA

C111. Action (4)

Rachel contacted the Royal Court as soon as she returned home. Then, she revealed everything that happened today to her butler.

That Lancaster had appeared and murdered the agent protecting her, but had returned without hurting her for some reason.

—Can you describe the situation before Lancaster appeared in more detail?

The butler asked with a serious face.

“Yes? Ah, um... I was in the middle of receiving a present from a friend.”

—By the way, Princess, you can use English when you’re talking with me.

“Ah, right, sorry. So um, about the situation....”

Rachel reported what happened in English. The butler rubbed his chin in thought, then continued in a low voice.

—Hm... perhaps Lancaster wants Princess to suffer the same pain he has.

“Yes?”

Rachel tilted her head.

—Lancaster lost the people precious to him in the London Incident. He must want Princess to share the same pain. He must have misunderstood Princess’ relationship with this friend.

“Ah....”

Looking back, it seemed fairly believable.

After all, Lancaster said he saw an ‘amusing’ scene.

“But that’s not it....”

Rachel looked at the bracelet on her wrist.

If that’s what Lancaster thought, he was gravely mistaken.

In Rachel’s mind, she wasn’t in any position to be intimate with someone else.

—Anyways, Princess, I can see that you’ve changed a lot.

“Eh? In what way?”

—In the past, you used to love eating and playing around like a child. But now, you’re calm and collected.

“T-That was before I matured.”

In truth, Rachel was quite playful until she was six.

But she was always responsible. Because she finished all her work before she went out and played, the queen, the royal consort, and Rachel’s butler could all only watch her with a smile.

It was only after that incident that her playfulness disappeared.

—Anyways, it’s getting late, Princess. You should go to sleep. We will let you know soon whether we will deploy another agent or hire a skilled mercenary.

“Yes.... By the way, did that agent... have a family?”

Hearing Rachel’s careful tone, the butler smiled bitterly and shook his head.

—No, he didn’t.

“...I see. But please treat him well. I will also participate in the funeral.”

—Yes, understood.

Someone had died to protect her.

Although that put a heavy burden on her heart, Rachel hung up the call without showing a weak appearance.
