Chapter 78
Episode 78 .
Damn it . I must be really cursed . No, at this point, I didn’t think this was cursed . This was a really screwed-up situation .
‘How on earth?’
Since it was pointless, I didn’t resist the man taking off my wig with a very polite touch . As the brown wig fell to the floor, my red hair fluttered down the shoulders .
“What? It’s really the Princess, did we really find the Princess?”
“That red hair! She’s really the Princess!”
“We found her!”
The place became noisy in an instant . I looked down at the wig on the floor, with some sort of cheering coming from behind me in one ear .
I was confused .
‘How could they catch me this fast?’
It was not so hard to guess who they were .
‘The Dark Knight’s… . ’
I glanced back . Everywhere my gaze turned, they were always there, uniformly dressed in black, whether they intended to increase the solidarity of the group or not . There were them everywhere .
“As soon as I ran away, I got caught like this?’
At the same time, it was absurd and amazing . I’ve never even thought of such a futile idea .
Still holding my arm, the opponent opened his mouth .
“Please go back . We’ll take you safely to the mansion . ”
“Let me ask you one thing . ”
“…… . ”
“When did you know I had sneaked out of the mansion?”
The man did not answer . All right, that’s the way it is anyway .
“There’s no answer, so let me ask you one more question . I heard earlier that you’re checking all the carriages out of town, but are you doing such an inefficient thing other than this town?”
The man remained silent again this time . I pushed him .
“Hey, look at me, I got caught . We’re going back to the mansion, no matter what . Now that you’re done with your duty, I’m trying to solve some minor questions, but can’t you just help me by answering this?”
“I’m sorry . ”
One word that finally came out but that was not the answer I wanted at all .
I breathed an exaggerated sigh as if I couldn’t help it .
“Well……”
“…… . . ”
“You called me a rat just a little while ago……and held my arm so hard that it felt hurt a little……… I didn’t want to tell Ash, but I’ll just tell him if this happens . ”
It’s a lethal move, a threat . I said this and glanced at my opponent . I’m sure all the hands that were just holding my arm were flinching .
Surprisingly, however, there was no consistent desired answer .
“……I’m so sorry . ”
‘He’s a strong enemy . ’
This doesn’t work? I was a little embarrassed and forgot to make a face and looked at my opponent .
‘I can’t help it . ’
I gave up and stopped talking . I stopped acting with facial expressions and gestures .
‘It’s a shame that I didn’t get anything, but… . ’
I put my hand in my arms .
In any case, it’s impossible to run away . This was my last shot . A last-ditch struggle, desperate not to face the worst case . So even if my end was to be caught, it won’t happen now . At least until I’ve tried everything I can .
“Get in the carriage, Princess . We’re gonna have to…… . ”
The man hesitated to speak . The gaze rested on my hand, which was about to take something out of the arms .
“Even if you take out a weapon, it would be useless . ”
Instead of correcting my opponent’s misunderstanding that I didn’t know how he could think like that, I took out the bead without saying anything and broke it .
When I turned back the day, the place I opened my eyes was an inn in the Capital .
As soon as I checked the place, I flung myself into the bed . My legs gave me the strength to stand on .
‘I can’t believe I’m wearing a time bead like this . ’
I looked down and looked at my empty hand .
At the same time, my outfit caught my eye . I was still in a maid uniform before changing my clothes and wearing a wig .

It’s not important right now . I wrapped my head with my empty hand .
“Think, let’s think . ’
Before turning back the time with bead, the Dark Knights group who I had encountered in a village outside the capital were already moving to catch me, knowing that I had disappeared .
They were Ash’s people . Of course, they only listen to Ash’s orders .
Which meant that Ash had learned about my disappearance before the Dark Knights had found me .
‘How?’
How come so soon? It was too soon to say that the news came from the mansion .
As soon as I got out of the mansion today, I got caught because of my bad luck .
It took only a day or so to make my disappearance known .
The second question was how fast the precursors can fly .
‘How could such precursors go to Ash place, in the first place?’
The precursors were just trained pigeons .
It was absurd to send the precursors which couldn’t be able to detect Ash’s position like GPS in real-time to inform Ash while Ash moving to the south
In common sense, Ash should have known my disappearance only after arriving in the South if they sent a precursor .
‘…… . but now that common sense is broken . ’
I raised my gaze . The door of the inn room, which had been tightly closed, came into view .
What should I do now? I stared blankly at the door and soon got up .
My mouth closed tightly .
‘What could I do?’
I quickly searched my luggage bag, covered myself with a wig, took off the maid’s uniform and wore a man’s uniform . Still, after trying it once, I changed faster than before .
‘For now, let’s move . ’
When exactly did Ash hear of my disappearance?
Maybe early tonight… . . I think it will be at dawn or tomorrow early morning .
I easily got out of the capital without any interruption .

The same situation happened when I arrived at the next village after sunset . At that time, there were no people blocking the carriage at the entrance .
I meant that it was after at least that the Dark Knights had orders to catch me .
‘So it seems I’m safe for at least a few hours from now on . ’
It’s not important for now, how Ash knew I had disappeared so quickly . The only thing that matters was, whatever the situation, I just ran away as best I could .
I picked up a bag with a crumpled maid’s uniform . It was also a waste of time to call in employees, give him money and ask him to take care of it .
‘Let’s go anywhere . If it doesn’t work, I can hire two horsemen to run the carriage all night, and move anyway . ’
Urging myself to move my feet hurriedly, I tried to turn the doorknob around to leave the room, but I hesitated .
‘Ash is……’
How did he feel?
When he heard the news that I’m gone and ran away .
Did he feel betrayed? Did he angry? Just a few days ago, he told me it was just us two, did he think that it was ridiculous that I’m leaving as if taking a chance like this?
Did he worry about me?
“……”
It was a useless sentiment . Really useless, I bit my lip and opened the door .

Yrmi rolled for decades in an obscure alley .
However, he still has doubts about this assessment ~~ collected in some for the organization and did errands for 5 years .
Then the territory suddenly flipped over . The head of the organization died overnight, and a teenager, younger than him, took the place .
‘At first, I thought it was only a ridiculous rumour . ’
He wondered if the seniors were making fun of him in unison . He even snorted and said how could a person, who was 5 years younger than him, take the organization down .
‘But it was real . ’
The master of the territory has actually changed .
Originally, the former leader of the organization, who had been leading the territory for more than ten years, said that he was not able to resist the boy who looked like a doll that appeared out of nowhere and was stabbed by a sword .
‘I guess he was behind in 2 seconds in the fight . ’

After killing the leader, the boy cut all the meat out of the influential figure who followed the former leader .
The organization fell flat at the boy’s feet .
Of course, it was the same with Yrmi .
‘It’s been about three years already . ’
Time was such a useless thing . It’s been three years since he saw a senior who was rebelling against a younger man saying that he couldn’t bow his head down in front of someone younger than him .
‘Ah……’
Yrmi thought with his dim eyes .
‘Is it my turn now to be trimmed like that?’
After the organization took on a new leader, Yrmi took on a pretty heavy-duty thanks to the sensible wits he showed in the process…
It was to watch the leader’s sister, Princess Lydia Widgreen, from afar .
His duty smells like a crime, but, in a good word, his duty is to protect her personal life .
Yrmi’s duty was limited, he only kept an eye on her when she went out of the mansion . For some danger around her, or whether there was a presumptuous bastard approaching her, or when she faced any difficulty .
He used to pay close attention to these things, and sometimes he would appear in private when he had to take action .
“Well…”
Yrmi belatedly looked back on his work .
Is that a crime?
This and that were the things that happened without the knowledge of the person concerned . In a way, is it a crime if it’s wrapped up only for good purposes?
‘Anyway . ’
Anyway, even if it’s a crime, he still did his best .
Relatively recently, he even caught a suicide seeker person who shot an arrow at a princess and ran away from the hunting ground .
He did my best . He could be confident about that . Yrmi remembered that his colleague, who was taking turns, was saying, “What are you so passionate about?”
He did .
He did, but something happened .
The princess disappeared .
