Chapter 49
“I’m warning you. Do not touch what is mine anymore.”
‘……?’
Richard, who was about to alight from the carriage, froze stiff.
‘…What?’
What does that mean? Do not touch what is yours?

“Pardon…?”
Daphne asked back, blinking her eyes. She, too, appeared bewildered.

“Richard… Friedrich.”
Richard’s name flowed from Enoch’s lips.
“I mean, do not touch that man anymore.”
Soon, he lifted his gaze and glared at Daphne as if he were on guard.

“You are his long-time childhood friend, are you not?”
“Yes, Your Highness…. That is true, but….”
Whether Enoch’s identity had been revealed in the meantime, she was speaking with careful formal respect.
“Friendship cannot exist between a man and a woman. You must be harboring feelings for him while pretending otherwise.”

“…Pardon?”
“However, that man is mine. He is not a being that someone like you should touch.”

‘……?’
Richard felt as if his brain had frozen for an instant.
What was that?
Who shouldn't be touched?
Who belongs to whom?
So, right now….

‘Enoch is….’
Is he threatening Lady Daphne to stay away from me?
“Huh……?”
In a situation so absurd it felt like a dream, a stupid sound leaked out of his mouth of its own accord.
“Uh… Richard?”
Daphne’s eyes widened as she discovered him.

“……!”
Enoch also discovered Richard a step late.

“Lady Daphne….”
Richard staggered as he jumped down from the carriage. He was confused.
“What exactly is going on…?”
It was a situation he couldn't understand with his head.
Е̄ṅu mа̌. і̆d
He had come running out of worry that the two would become romantically entangled, but what on earth was happening?
Daphne glanced at Enoch and then spoke cautiously.
“Well, it seems this gentleman is having a small misunderstanding…. Um. You’ve come at the right time, Richard.”
“…….”

“4th Prince. Richard is truly just a friend for whom I have no feelings. Right, Richard?”
“…….”

For some reason, Richard felt a sharp ache in a corner of his heart, but he did not let it show.
Because that wasn't what was important right now.
“That’s…… right. No, more importantly, Enoch. What are you doing here?”
The important thing was, if he had correctly heard what Enoch had been blathering just now…….
“I’ve fallen for you.”
Abruptly, a confession burst out.

“……Uh.”
Daphne’s eyes flew wide open.
“Should I… give you two some space?”
She asked Richard in a low, slinking voice.
In this bewildering situation, there wasn't even time to ask about why Richard and the royalty were speaking so ‘informally’ with each other.
“No, no….”

Richard pressed his hand to his head, trying to ignore the feeling that the whole world was spinning beyond just being dizzy.
“…Enoch? What do you mean by that?”

“Exactly what it sounds like. I fell for you the day you saved me.”
“…….”
“The people by your side bother me. I wish only I were by your side.”
…Something was majorly wrong.

Enoch, who was supposed to be following Lady Daphne around…!
The second sub-male lead, Enoch, who was supposed to have fallen for her…!
“…I,”
Richard reflexively stepped backward.

To receive a confession from a man.
And from Enoch, of all people!

‘I….’
The person I like is…….
‘Lady Daphne…!’
He unconsciously grit his teeth and looked at Daphne.
“Uh, um…….”
Whether she took that gaze to mean something else, Daphne’s face hardened.

She looked at Enoch cautiously.
“Um… 4th Prince.”
“……What is it?”
“Richard… already has a man he loves….”
“…What?”
This time, Enoch’s eyes flew wide open. Like a shocked cat.

“Exactly who… I shall surely sever that person’s limbs and….”
At the moment those strange words flowed from his mouth, Daphne spoke.

“Um… I apologize, but I believe that would be difficult….”
“And who is this person?”
“The Crown Prince…… Your Highness.”
“……!”

Enoch’s face hardened severely. Soon, after being silent as if lost in thought for a moment, he placed his fist under his chin and muttered lowly.
“……The process will indeed be somewhat difficult.”
“…….”
“…….”

…Does that mean he’s still going to try?
“…….”

Richard stood there stupidly with his mouth agape in this dizzying situation for a moment.
“Enoch!”
Realizing he shouldn't be doing this, he grabbed Enoch’s wrist.
“Let’s go home for now.”
He pulled strongly on Enoch’s arm and gave a subtle bow to Lady Daphne.

“…So.”
Having returned to the bedroom, Richard sat Enoch on the bed and narrowed his eyes.
“You like me?”
“Yes.”
Enoch answered without a moment’s hesitation.
“…….”

Richard shifted his eyes in embarrassment.
It was an absurd and awkward situation.

No wonder he had insisted on not returning to his kingdom….
‘It seems the cliché has really missed its mark.’
If he were to think positively, could he say that Enoch wouldn't become entangled with Lady Daphne as the ‘story’ intended?…….
“Whew….”

Richard let out a deep sigh and lifted his head.
‘……Fine.’
For now… it didn't seem like it would be a problem, so he would see.
“Do you really like the Crown Prince?”

Ignoring the question coming from right in front of him, Richard thought.
Perhaps, it won't be a problem.

“Why is there no answer?”
…Perhaps.
“Is it true?”
“…….”
“As expected… that man’s limbs…….”
“Stop, Enoch.”

Richard pressed his throbbing forehead. …Fine. There won't be any problems. It has to be that way.
“More importantly….”
Richard forced himself to ignore the ominous feeling and changed the subject.
“Do you really have no intention of returning to your kingdom?”
“I don't. Not until I have repaid my debt.”
An answer with no room for negotiation came back.

“……..”
Richard slowly swept back his bangs and lifted his eyes to look at him.

‘Since it’s turned out like this anyway….’
His water-colored eyes settled coldly.
‘Should I make use of him?’
If he left him alone, it seemed like he would only cause trouble, so it would be better to give him something to do.

“Enoch.”
Richard took a step toward him.
“……?”
The green eyes looked up at him.

“You said you would repay your debt?”
“Yes.”

Enoch nodded without hesitation.
“Eloise does not forget a debt.”
“Then,”
Richard smirked.
“Would you help me with one task?”

In front of the Chesica Duke’s mansion, where a chilling winter wind whirled. Beneath the gray sky, atop the black marble wall, purple roses were in full bloom.
“…….”
A man draped in a thick robe stopped before it.
He moved his feet as if to enter the Duke’s mansion.
Clang—
The soldiers guarding the mansion’s front gate blocked him by crossing their spears in an X-shape.

“Do you have an invitation? Could you please identify yourself?”
“…….”

The man’s feet stopped. From beneath the robe’s hood, a low and heavy voice flowed out.
“…Open the gate.”
“Our apologies, but please identify yourself.”
The knights cautiously requested identification once more.

However, the man was adamant.
“I told you to open the gate.”
“…We cannot recklessly allow someone into the Duke’s mansion without knowing who they are.”
The soldiers scanned the man with wary eyes. Strength surged into the arms they used to hold their spears.

“……Ha.”
The man in the robe clicked his tongue toward the air.

“You dare block my path?”
His voice was low yet arrogant.
After inhaling quietly, he pulled down the hood of the black robe with his fingertips. As his white hair fluttered in the wind, a cold aura spread out.
Red eyes, deep as the abyss, looked down at the others with disdain.
With just that one look, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.
“The, the Emperor?!”

The soldiers’ eyes widened.
“Open the gate at once. Summon Duke Chesica.”
The Emperor, Laios, growled coldly.
