Chapter 33
“Whew….”
The man—no, Richard—slowly sheathed his sword. His black robe fluttered violently in the cold wind. He scanned his surroundings.
The slave market was decimated. Guards and slave traders lay scattered in a gruesome display.
‘…Should I have just done this from the start?’
Richard’s expression stiffened subtly.
Еn u m̀а . і́ d̀
Through dozens of regressions, he had learned how to use a sword to some extent. No, to dismiss it as ‘some extent’ was an understatement; he was exceptionally skilled. He was a regressor, after all.
Even so, the reason he hadn't used force from the beginning was to avoid leaving any lingering trouble behind, but….

‘I could have just killed them all.’
There was a simple way. Cover his face with his hood so no one would recognize him, and sweep them all away. Though he had done it in a fit of rage, he hadn't expected it to end so smoothly….
‘If I had known it would be like this….’
He should have just crushed it like this instead of going through the trouble of infiltrating every time.

“…….”
Richard looked back at the collapsed slave cages with a strange sense of sentiment.
“Hiek……!”
His eyes met a group of slaves quietly trembling in a corner. They were hunched over, paralyzed with terror.

Slide—
Richard drew his sword once more. The tip of the blade pointed toward the slaves’ shivering shadows.

“You lot.”
“Heup… P-please, spare us…!”
“Get lost, all of you.”
Richard growled in a low voice.
“Ye-yes…!”
Nodding frantically, the slaves fled the alley without a single backward glance.

‘There’s no need to kill the slaves.’
They wouldn't become a future problem. Stroking the tip of his blade, Richard gave a small nod.
‘However….’
Richard narrowed his eyes as he looked toward one side.
‘One remains.’
And of all people, it was the most important one. All the other slaves had fled, but Enoch—whose wrists were tied to the half-collapsed ceiling—was unable to leave his spot.

“…….”
Richard slowly approached him.

CRANG—!
With a swing of his sword, he severed the chains binding Enoch’s wrists.
Thud.
Enoch’s knees gave out, and he collapsed onto the ground with a splashing sound.

“…….”
He slowly lifted his head. Green hair spilled over his forehead.
“…….”
“…….”

An awkward silence passed before Richard spoke.
“Scram back to your kingdom.”
Wё b n оv̌ еl Е̃ n u m ǎ
Swish.
With that single remark, Richard turned his back. He had nothing more to say. The important thing was….
‘That it’s all over.’
Now, the incident of Lady Daphne and Enoch becoming entangled would not happen. Enoch, the fourth prince of the Eloise Kingdom, would return to his home country, and he wouldn't even have a chance to cross paths with her.
‘The process was a bit different from usual, but I succeeded.’
With a significantly lighter heart, Richard pulled down his hood and began to walk away. It was then.

“You.”
A low voice echoed from behind.
“……?”
Richard came to a dead stop.
‘…Did he call me?’
He had repeated this dozens of times, but Enoch had never once been the first to call out to him. Truly, not even once.

“…….”
Richard turned his head, half in wonder and half in suspicion.

It was at that moment.
Whooooosh——!
The hood covering his face was grabbed by the other’s hand and pulled down.
“……!”

Platinum-blonde hair scattered into the air—and Richard’s revealed water-colored eyes wavered greatly.
“What do you thi—”
“As I thought.”
In the pitch-black darkness. The corners of Enoch’s mouth, still holding the edge of the hood, twisted coldly.

“You weren't just an ordinary slave.”
Enoch’s oddly glowing green eyes stared through him.

“……!”
Richard felt a surge of bewilderment, but only for a moment. He quickly composed his expression and forced a grin.
Right. Regardless of the reason, what was he going to do now that he knew? Richard leisurely took a step back and tilted his head up.
“Do you have something to say?”
Even if he knew Richard's identity, nothing would change. The slave market was already destroyed, and Enoch would return to his kingdom. And there would never be a romantic entanglement with Lady Daphne.
“You, no, you….”

Enoch’s face twisted into a menacing scowl. He spat out each word as if chewing them.
“What is it you want?”
“……What?”
At the sudden question, Richard asked back in spite of himself.
“I’m asking what you want.”
Enoch’s green eyes shone vividly with a murderous intent.

“I noticed long ago that you weren't an ordinary slave. Nobles and slaves have different bearings from the start.”
“…….”

“You knew my background and deliberately infiltrated the slave market, didn't you? To extort something from me?”
He was on guard. And he was suspicious. Suspicious of the true intentions of this man, Richard, who had suddenly appeared to destroy the slave market and rescue him.
‘Is that all it is.’
Richard let out a smirk.

“What do you think I want from you?”
“Right. Is my body the goal, like the filthy nobles of the Empire? Or is it my status? My power?”
“No. I don't need that crap.”
Not his royal status, nor his power, and especially not his body. The only thing Richard wanted from him was….

“What I want is….”
Crossing his arms crookedly, Richard took a step toward Enoch.

“……!”
He felt the other man’s body flinch. Toward him, Richard leaned his face in close and spoke kindly.
“Leave the Empire and never come back.”
“……?”
Enoch’s green eyes distorted slightly. Richard took one more step closer.
“Go back to the Eloise Kingdom and live happily.”

He gripped Enoch's shoulders tightly.
“So happily that you won't even think about the Empire,”
“…….”
“Make sure you are happy.”
His eyes shone vividly. That was enough. That was the only thing Richard desired.
“Forget this place completely. Don't ever set foot here again.”

Only then would I not have to see a guy like you daring to hit on her.
“…What?”

Enoch’s gaze wavered little by little.
“Understand? This is the only thing I want.”
“……What kind of,”
“Now, go.”

Nudge.
Richard pushed his shoulder back.
“Don't come again.”
Because I don't want to see you loitering around Lady Daphne.

Keeping the final words to himself, he backed away with a bright smile.
“……?”

He saw Enoch’s face fill with questions, but he didn't care about that.
“Farewell.”
Let’s never meet again. Richard turned around, leaving him behind. The hem of his robe danced in the bleak wind.

A silent night where even the moon had not risen. A deserted alley.
“Whew….”

The silver-haired man quietly raised his hand and removed his mask. His silver hair gradually darkened. As the duration of the artifact ended, his hair revealed its original color.
Black hair, deeper than the night sky. It billowed darkly as if it would swallow even the light.
“Crown Prince.”
The escort standing a step behind spoke with a stiff face.
“You remember what that man said, don't you?”
The man—no, Caelus le Regnantia. The red eyes of the man called the Little Sun of the Empire turned toward his escort.

“……I do.”
His voice was cold and low. The escort knight—no, Senin—clenched his hands behind his back.

“Clearly… the words ‘ I hate men ’ came from his mouth.”
Senin recalled what had happened inside the inn moments ago.
‘I hate men!’
‘I feel like throwing up if a man even brushes against my hand?!’

Richard Friedrich, who had resisted with all his might as if he truly loathed it. He had certainly been sincere.
“…What on earth is he planning?”
Senin couldn't understand. At first, he thought the man was just a lunatic. Therefore, he deemed him a threat to His Highness. Because there must be no flaws in the supreme position of the Crown Prince.
However, to think he didn't even like men to begin with….

“…….”
Caelus’s red eyes sank coldly.

“……I wonder.”
“…….”
“There’s no telling.”
In the silent night air, a chilling wind blew.
