After a period of commotion, peace returned.

To be exact, it was a precarious peace. Arban said with a tearful face.

"You heard that too, hyung. You just picked a fight with us."

"I heard. But making a fuss isn't good, Arban."

"......I also tried to endure it as much as possible."

Arban still looked sensitive from the war of nerves with Sage a little while ago.

The set let out a short sigh.

"Don't forget our position, Arban. Things aren't going well right now."

"That's why I apologized."

Since they were acknowledged as guests by the Kiraas family and were allowed to stay in the castle, every word and action of the two was no different from the Astrophel family's will.

There was a lot of commotion going on here and it wasn't good.

Besides, the relationship between the South and the North is not that close yet.

It was good to be careful since we had a difficult relationship.

I smiled faintly and fluttered between them, trying to lighten the mood somehow.

"It's worked out well, so let's go. I have to go back tomorrow, and I can't waste time feeling bad like this."

"Yeah, I'll be back tomorrow. That kid's going to be so excited he'll go wild."

Crunch. I heard the sound of teeth grinding. I felt my smiling face stiffen.

I thought I was trying to calm him down, but I guess I just poured oil on the fire.

Arban's eyebrows rose fiercely. The pheromones that were rippling fiercely were telling him how excited he was.

I froze stiffly and blinked slowly. Oh, this is not it.

"Irene. Don't forget that this is a tiger's den."

"Uh, huh?"

Why are you suddenly talking about the tiger's den? It was a sudden remark, but Arban looked very serious.

"Every single action of those Kiraas guys is creepy. They're unfathomable."

A look of discomfort crossed Arban's face as if something had occurred to him. I quickly looked around. Fortunately, we were the only ones in the stairwell.

I quickly lifted my heel and covered Arban's mouth with my hand as he tried to say something more. His red eyes widened as if asking what was going on.

"Ah, haha. Oppa. I think it's better to stop here. You haven't forgotten that this is Kiraas Castle, have you?"

"Yeah, that was a bit risky. I think it's better to keep that kind of conversation in the room."

Set nodded in agreement. I looked back at him in bewilderment.

What if I tell you to go into your room and talk instead of telling you to stop?!

Arban seemed satisfied with the answer and did not open his mouth any further.

I felt lips quietly closing under my palm.

Even the set I trusted betrayed me like this. I stared blankly at the set, frozen in an awkward position, and he smiled.

"Irene, you're going too far. We have to go back tomorrow, and I'm worried about what might happen."

"I'm not a kid. My brothers are worrying too much."
