The room that Serwyn was staying in was the best room in the mansion . Speaking of the ‘room’, it was the size of an apartment .
As soon as Serwyn entered it, he dropped Amelie carefully on a table .
Amelia unfolded her wings . She examined her body by spreading her wings and looking at it . Her heart was pounding like as if it would burst, and she was so nervous that her wings and legs trembled .
‘Still, I can’t afford to miss this opportunity . ’
‘Run away!’
Amelie mustered all the rest of her willpower and flew up quickly . With all her strength, she flapped her wings and flew in the air at a rate that was comparable to that attempt before . Just go to the open window… . !
At that time, something pulled Amelie’s leg down . It held her down quickly .
“Pweeeee!”
The shrill shriek of the bird cut through the air . Her body lost its balance and fell onto the table . If you fall from the height of your body, it can cause a small fractures .
‘God, I’m so dead… . !’
Amelie shut her eyes tightly . She instead landed on a warm surface and settled down .
“Pwee?”
Amelie looked around her .
When she opened her eyes, she was in the hands of the Emperor . There was a red sword thread on her leg that was connected to the emperor’s hand . It was definitely the Emperor’s sword- it was called the [Aurora] . Described in the novel, the Emperor said that he could deal with the sword the Aurora freely . She did not know that he would catch people’s feet with Aurora .
Amelie looked at Serwyn with begrudging eyes . Serwyn then used the sword to close the window .
“Outside is dangerous . ”
“Pwee, pwee!”
‘You’re more dangerous!’ Amelie vigorously protested, but Serwyn only looked on innocently .

“Stay put . ”
He wiped Amelia’s forehead with his thumb and disappeared into the room .
“……pwee?”
‘What was that just now? Did Serwyn pet me?! He did not hit me but pet me? He didn’t look like he was gonna kill me?… What?’
Amelie flopped down . Serwyn’s odd behaviour confused her . Come to think of it, there were a lot of strange things . When Amelie pretended to be dead, his grip was loosened, and a little while ago he even supported her fall with a hand .
“Pwee…… . ”
When Serwyn was completely out of sight, Amelie sighed .
‘What the hell is going on here… . . ’
But it was still too early to be surprised, Serwyn who washed his hands, brought a wet towel . Amelie, who had been exhausted, left her body in the hands of Serwyn .
“Good . ”
Serwyn wiped Amelie’s body with a wet towel . The hand moving along the feathers’ texture was delicate . His eyes looking at Amelie were kind of sweet .
‘It’s like he’s someone else . ’ Amelia thought blankly . You don’t change your clothes, you take care of the bird first . This was not like the Emperor she knew . Serwyn wiped Amelie one more time with a dry towel and smoothed her feathers gently .
Next, Serwyn put her in a container where candles were kept . It was a container with a tight iron front and back bar so that candle could burn well . When the latch was locked, the container became a good cage .
Serwyn went into the room to wash . As he left, Amelia fell with relief .
“Pwee…”
She was locked up in a cage, but the cage was more comfortable than the palm of Serwyn . Her body drooped .
‘I must not sleep… . . ’
But the body, which had been in extreme fear and tension, quickly fell asleep .
As she was sleeping faintly, because she was exhausted, Amelie felt a hand stroking her . His hand carefully tickled Amelie’s forehead, sweeping the feathers from head to back .
‘Who is it… . ?’
Amelie reminded herself of the situation . I was caught by the emperor and locked in a cage… . .
‘Ack! The Emperor!’
Amelie opened her eyes . Just as expected . The golden eyes met hers . They were gentler than when they first met, but still had the same look .
‘Crazy . When do you even sleep?’
Serwyn’s hands were warm . It was Serwyn who had patted Amelie . Amelie came rolling down from Serwyn’s palm .

“Be careful . ”
Serwyn swept Amelie’s forehead with his index finger .
“Pwee . Pwee!” Amelie screamed . His touch was affectionate, but it was too threatening just because he was too big . Moreover, it wasn’t the wrong person and but it didn’t feel like he was Serwyn . Amelie was worried that he might choke her . Her pounding heart felt like it would burst .
‘Let’s get away…’
Amelie hastily jumped to her feet and hid in the cage .
Though the reason is not known, Serwyn seems to have quite liked Soo-Yeon . He observed Amelie as if he were the owner of a new pet .
‘Don’t tell me… . . He’s not thinking of bringing me with him, is he?’
Like this, she’s going to go to the palace . The anxiety flooded in like a tide .
‘OK . It will be fine…… . ’
Amelie grasped her slightly shaken head with her wings . Fortunately, she had a way out . Magic! When Serwyn leaves the room, she can use magic to open the window .
‘Slowly, I’ll look for a chance . ’
Amelie took a deep breath to calm down .
Then someone knocked on the door .
Great!
“Your Majesty, it’s Ethan . ”
“Come in . ”
When the permission was given, a man came into the room . The man called Ethan was wearing a black uniform . It was a little more gorgeous than what the normal knights wears . He appeared to have the highest status in the Knights .
“The knights have now been ordered to stand-by in their respective rooms . ”
“Got it . ”
Serwyn sat on the chair and listened to Ethan . The cage was on the table and Amelie had no choice but to listen to their conversation .
“I also ordered Chad to report to you . Are you going to leave after listening to his report?”
Serwyn turned his head .
“I did not go straight to the forest because of his report . ”
“Understood . ”
Listening to their conversation, Amelie fell in thought .
‘Did you send someone to investigate Delaheim?’

As Amelie knew, the reason that Serwyn came here was ‘hunting’ . But do you usually send knight to investigate so you can hunt? Of course, maybe in case if its the emperor, but somehow she felt that it was not such a simple thing .
It was the same ominous feeling that she felt when she came to the estate .
“What about the Count?”
“We are dubious about saying that we have come to hunt, but we also don’t know exactly for what purpose we’re here . ”
Serwyn nodded with his head .
“The count must be kept from knowing, got that?”
“Yes . ”
She could not understand what they were talking about even if she cautiously listened to the conversation .
‘The reason the Emperor came to Delaheim was not hunting but some other reason . ’
It’s different from the original .
‘The original works is from Rene’s point of view, so she might not know why the emperor really came here . ’
It’s likely a narrative trick .
‘It is weird, though . you have a lot of hunting grounds around the capital, but you come all the way to a distant place… . ’
Delaheim is far from the capital . Even after passing through the space warping magic twice, you still have to travel on horseback for some distance . Until now, there has been no unusual creatures in the Fidelia forest to have them come here to hunt .
‘Then what is the Emperor’s real purpose?’
Thinking about it, it was not the only thing that was strange .
‘In the novel, in order to avenge her family Rene joins the direct knight order of Serwyn . The first meeting between Rene and Serwyn was at the Knight party ceremony . ’
‘If the emperor had stayed in her Manor, then she didn’t meet the Emperor for the first time at the ceremony? Did Rene not remember?
It was only a year ago- Rene, who cares about Amelie, would never forget the Emperor’s visit at that time if it happened . It’s now that Rene meets the Emperor then .
‘Then the development is different from the original work? Why?’
‘Even if I hold my small head and look at it, I have no idea . What can Serwyn get in this quiet countryside?’
“Pweee… . . ”
‘What to do if you see something strange . I don’t even have a head to figure out why it’s so weird . ’ Amelie scratched her wings with her beak in frustration .
“…… . ”
“……pwee?”
Amelie took out her buried head from her wing . Serwyn was staring at her . Under the gaze of the beast, she reflexively staggered .
Thud .
The cage clattered lightly . Serwyn stared at Amelie and then opened his mouth .
“It’s afraid of me, isn’t it?”
“Yes . ”
“Why?”
Ethan with a ‘Don’t you know that?’ look on his face gazed at Serwyn . Serwyn did not see his face as he bothered Amelie with his fingers in between the bars . Amelie avoided Serwyn’s finger and shook her wings .
Whether Amelie was desperate or not, Serwyn continued to play .
“Pwee . Pwee!”
“Are you going to keep it? It’ll be dead any minute . ” Ethan said .
Serwyn furrowed his brows .
“It looks okay, look, it’s so healthy . ”
Inside the small cage, Amelie avoided Serwyn’s fingers to the point that she was giddy . Eventually, Serwyn put his hand in and grabbed Amelie and pulled her out . The tight texture in the hand was as satisfying as expected
“Pwee! Pwee!”
Amelie was very aggrieved . Serwyn couldn’t understand since he was unaware . Either way, Serwyn stroked Amelie’s forehead with his thumb . His mouth tilted quite a bit to the top . The glare of his eyes eased a little .
Amelie, who watched the change up close, stopped resisting .
‘Oh my god, my heart is thumping… . ’
Amelie closed her beak .
“What should I do so that it won’t be afraid of me?”
It sounded awkward because the voice sounded so soft . Ethan sighed without sound .
“You like animals, don’t you know how to tame them?”
“They die easily, so I never raised one properly . ”
“…… . Animals can be tamed with food . ”
“Food… then go and get it something to eat . ”
“… . Yes . ”
Ethan looked at Serwyn and the bird with a frowning face and went out of the room .
