Suddenly, Evelyn announced that she was going to play hide and seek.
But the problem is that she wants to hide this time.
“Is she there?”
"no!"
“Is she there?”
"She's not there, Rosalina! What should I do!"
The maids and Rosalina turned white and trembled.
They were playing hide-and-seek with Evelyn when she disappeared.
He couldn't find Evelyn anywhere.
The sun was already setting.
It had been more than an hour since Evelyn had disappeared.
Rosalina swallowed with a pale face.
“This was not in my plans!”
If Evelyn disappeared or didn't appear like this, of course it would be a good thing for Rosalina. But if she had done so, it would have caused some unnecessary misunderstandings.
Rosalina looked around.
I felt my blood run cold.
The only noblewoman here was Rosalina, and they were all maids. It was Rosalina who bore the greatest responsibility.
Rosalina could have been responsible for Evelyn's disappearance.
“Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess! Your Highness! Please come out! Where are you!”
Rosalina cried and raised her voice.
It is time to search the entire imperial castle.
Veronica, noticing the commotion, also comes out.
Veronica was shocked when she confronted Rosalina.
This is because the relationship between the two was not very good.
But now it's time for you to lend a helping hand to the cat.
“What do you mean Evelyn disappeared?”
“That's literally it. It was obviously a game of hide and seek, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find it!”
“Did you search everything inside the palace?”
“Yes. Please help me, Your Royal Highness.”
Veronica nodded with a serious expression.
Rosalina was annoying, but Evelyn's disappearance was a serious problem, so she planned to help.
That's when Veronica ordered her servants to search for Evelyn.
“I found it, I found it!!”
Veronica and Rosalina's heads turned at the same time at someone's scream. It was on the side of the road leading to the Crown Prince's Palace.
Veronica and Rosalina walked quickly without anyone taking the lead. The maid who discovered Evelin pointed to the forest with a white face.
“Eh, Evelyn?”
They found the masked person unconscious on the ground, and Evelyn crushed the masked person and opened her eyes wide.
Evelin laughed bitterly.
“We've been arrested! So, Evelyn is the owner of the mark now?”
"No, no. You have to go to the palace now! You've been hiding all this time?" Serena asked with a white face.
Evelin widened her eyes and nodded.
“Yes! Because it's hide and seek.”
"Ha. But what on earth were you doing? Who on earth is this man?"
Rosalina pointed to the masked person lying on the ground. Evelin smiled brightly and answered harmlessly.
“I was trying to hide, but he kept getting in my way! So I scolded him!”
“You scolded him? How…?”
“With this!” , Evelin pointed at the stone with a bright face.
Then they saw that there was blood on the stone.
Evelyn puffed her cheeks.
“Um, did you hit someone with that?” Rosalina said with wide eyes.
Evelin shook her head, “Oh no. He kept trying to get out so I caught him! But he fell!”
Evelin blinked innocently like a rabbit.
Of course, the truth was there.
Ha. It was a fierce struggle.
I hit his head with a rock, but I think I'm still alive...? I need to stay hidden.
Naturally, there was no mercy for the man who came to the palace to harm others. So I swung the stone hard.
It was a masked person who was found after several days of hiding and intense searching. He tried to hide Serena, Rosie, and Rosalina, and he tried to hide me too.
In the end, I managed to find and capture one, but what if I failed?
Immediately upon discovering the suspicious masked person, reactions were divided into two groups.
First, Rosalina...
“Oh my God, what should I do with this? I think we should inform His Majesty the Crown Prince quickly! I will be here to guard you, so Cherry, go quickly and get His Highness the Crown Prince!”
She was the type of person who was keen to leave a mark.
An expression full of joy clearly showed that she wanted to attract the Crown Prince's attention somehow.
It was me who did it, but she had an expression on her face that looked like she was planning to eat up this whole achievement.
It takes a few more strokes for you to come to your senses.
And Serena and Rosie...
"Huh, hmm, what are you talking about? I can't believe you're bothering His Highness the Crown Prince with something like this. I think it would be best to report this matter to the security forces and deal with it quickly," Rosie spoke with a trembling voice.
Judging by the fact that she wanted to inform security, it seemed as if there was actually a security guard who had a crush on her. Otherwise, will she bring the security guard herf?
“Rosie is right, let me quickly go and find the security guard...”
“No.”
“Yes yes?”
"I hate people I don't know. This guy I don't even know,"
I pointed to the masked man who had fainted.
I frowned and shook my head.
I looked as innocent as a child possible.
The masked person who met me was clearly nervous.
'What are you doing here?'
‘Hide and seek. Do you play hide and seek too?'
'...Yes, so please leave before you get arrested.'
'I don't like it. 'I want to hide with you too'
I clung to the masked person who was trying to push me away, and it turned into a physical fight. The masked man didn't seem to have any intention of harming me at all. So, I hit him with the stone.
I think it is clear that it was instigated by the Spelman family, or by people close to the Spelman family.
“As expected, Your Highness the Crown Prince...!”
“He's hurt!”
"Yes?"
"We need to get a doctor! Call the doctor quickly! The injured person needs a doctor, don't you know that?"
Instead of contacting the Crown Prince now, it seemed much better for it to come through the doctor's mouth or another servant's mouth.
If I called the Crown Prince now to tell him that I found an unknown man, how much would Sirten be suspicious of me?
My heart beats to death because it feels like I've already been arrested.
We must ensure as much probability as possible.
“Hurry! Are you trying to make Evelin angry!”
“Yes yes!”
Serena ran away in panic.
They would probably recognize an imperial doctor who could offer as many bribes as possible while contacting the guard she wanted.
However, while the masked person was receiving treatment, the other maids would undoubtedly feel suspicious of the situation.
Sirtain, wouldn't he hire me a maid?
This is ridiculous.
Otherwise, Rosalina, whose eyes were now sparkling, would somehow try to summon Cyrtain.
All I had to do now was to see what kind of fruits the seeds I had planted would bear.
* * *
Sertin raised his head. Mortega was equally astonished.
The servant delivered the news from a maid from the Crown Princess' palace.
“Do you want me to believe it now? Is it true that the assassin who infiltrated the imperial castle was captured by the Crown Princess, not the knight?” Mortega spoke in astonishment.
“Yes”
“Ah,” Sirten squeezed the corners of his eyes.
I did not expect or even think about this situation.
Is there no limit to Evelin?
I was curious about how far Evelyn could go and what she planned to do.
“You work without fear.”
Sirtin got up.
I wanted to look at Evelyn's face now and see what was on her mind.
* * *
As expected, Sertin came to visit me.
Sertin looked at me and approached me.
Why? Didn't you see the masked person first?
I opened my eyes as innocently as possible and stared at two cars.
"Great. My husband really came! Did Rosalina call you?"
“No”
Two jackets grabbed my shoulders and pulled me from my place.
It was a movement so powerful that the people around us were shocked.
Then he slowly looked at me.
A cold voice came out from Serten's lips.
“Where are you injured?”
"I wasn't hurt at all! I just played hide and seek!"
“I heard you arrested a suspicious person.”
“It's not me... I told him let's play hide and seek together, but he tripped and fell!”
I pointed to the stone that the maids had brought.
Syrtin turned his head to stare at the stone and laughed.
He was surprised and stopped laughing.
I am afraid and my heart is pounding.
Obviously this is because I'm afraid. Otherwise why is my heart racing?
I secretly held my breath and let it out.
Sertin turned his gaze to me.
He pecked Sirtin on the cheek and narrowed his eyes.
“There is nothing to be afraid of”
“Huh?”
“There is no fear”
“Are you talking about me?”
I tilted my head.
“I'm afraid of thunder, lightning, and ghosts!”
“You didn't even know it was dangerous.”
He pressed two belts on my cheeks with both palms forcefully and laughed.
