(Asher’s POV) I brought the Baron’s body closer to me as the color of his face drained. In that moment, my mind went blank. I have killed the Baron, now what? Oh, right... I have to make his body a display for people who wanted to tarnish the kingdom’s name.Then...What comes after that? Strangely enough, seeing as his soul slowly slipped away from his body, I also felt like all of my emotions had faded away.I feel empty. I gazed again at his soulless body. He looked very stunning in his outfit, a soft turquoise green long coat paired with white shirt and white trousers. Unexpectedly, he also used an ear cuff on one side of his ears, making him look beautiful, even when he was dying. I clenched my trembling hand that was smeared with his blood. Earlier when our eyes met, I unexpectedly almost mouthed a praise to him just like what I was about to do back in the hall.As he basked in the moonlight, looking as if he was waiting for me, my heart w
(Lancelot’s POV)My body... felt hot...“Master, he has a high fever, and also anemia...”Huh... What...“Use any means possible to bring him back to normal. If necessary, perform blood transfusion also...”My mind feels fuzzy, yet I could hear voices of people talking.Who......***(Lancelot’s POV)“...?” As I finally gained consciousness, I tried to open my eyes. They felt very heavy. When I finally managed to somewhat open it, the first sight that I see was the first prince sleeping soundly on a chair. I looked at him with my eyes wide.....Is this heaven? Whoa, to think that I could meet him in heaven. But he was still alive so maybe an angel
(Lancelot’s POV)“...What is this...?”I glanced towards the pair of handcuffs that were put on me by the prince a few minutes ago with confused eyes.“This is a magic handcuff. Whenever you try to escape from this mansion, it will immediately transmit electrical magic and zapped you on the spot.”The prince explained nonchalantly. Also, without me realizing, he also put the cuffs on my neck.“Do you really think that I would escape from here? You’re the one who told me that we are now in your family mansion’s at the southern part of the continent, that’s too far from my estate!” What I said is true. A journey from the south back to my estate which was located in the northeast part of the continent without the help of teleportation magic is very far, and I have to somewhat revise a plan before I could escape and gather up enough
(Asher’s POV) After a few days stuck in the bed, the Baron finally rampaged, stating that he want to at least stroll around the mansion even though he couldn’t escape from it. So that night, I accompanied the Baron while assisting him in his walk.“W-Whoa...”He staggered while he walked slowly as he clung onto my arms.“How can I become this weak just after a few days of not walking? This is embarrassing...” He blushed.“Well, you were not far away from your rigor mortis(A condition where the body stiffen due to the lack of oxygen to the muscles. Usually occured after approximately 4 hours after death) in your death before, and you also have fever and anemia, so weakness in your body are to be expected.”I explained to him as I pulled his body near me. For some reason, seeing him all vulnerable as he clung onto me made me restless.
(Lancelot’s POV)“Are you nervous?”The prince asked me as he sat on the antique sofa in front of me. A few days ago, Prince Asher had received a letter from the capital saying that some of the royal family will come and visit them, but Prince Asher didn’t say who visited. So now, I am anxiously waiting for them with him in the guest room of the eastern mansion. I heaved a sigh, trying to calm myself.Who will come I wonder?Is it the King?Or is it the Prince? There is also a possibility that Cecilia is among one of them, but maybe she also won’t come, as she was afraid of me before.I sighed again. This time, it is also me who have to clean all of Lancelot’s mess. He was just a minor character in the novel but his actions were memorable in the novel, in addition that they were
(Cecilia’s POV)After awhile, the Baron still sniffles but he wasn’t sobbing like earlier.“Use this, although its kinda late now.” I handed him a handkerchief. Well, maybe too late because his whole sleeves were drenched with his tears. Moreover, his shirts all look new.“I’m sorry for suddenly crying in front of you.” He apologized.“Its okay. I know that it was scary being alone in a world that you are unfamiliar with.” I said, stating the fact. He chuckled while wiping the remaining tears on his face.“Tell me about it. Just when I was still confused with my surroundings, I have to solve problems that I didn’t even cause in the first place. That time was hard.” He ranted all his heart, and I chuckled. Maybe because the Baron is a completely different person on the inside, he don’t feel as scary and intimida
(Izana’s POV)"It's time."I informed the two humans near me; one is a lovely guy sitting on my lap and another one is also a lovely, comforting girl resting her head on my arm.They both glanced towards me."Has it been that late?" The girl, named Cecilia sat straight and brushed any invisible dust on the hem of her long light blue skirt. The guy named Lancelot—or Yuu—who was on my lap also tried to struggle free again after remaining docile before.I slowly let go of my arms that were occupying the entirety of his lower abdomen and allowed him to take some time to get up from my lap. Honestly, I really thought he fits perfectly in my arms, apart from my wife. Maybe because they have similar physique?A few seconds is taken for all of us to stand up, preparing to leave the balcony. I shot Yuu another glance while he straightened his slightly wrinkled white tunic.As the King's vassal, I was bestowed the ability to a
(Lancelot’s POV)A few days after their visit, the envoy returned back to the capital. Also, due to an unexpected event, the prince too had to return back to the palace, which in turn left me alone in the mansion.To guard me, he assigned a guard named Rokhan. He originated from the south, where the Queen is from, and was very quiet, just like the prince.The first few days with him was pretty peaceful, but I swear I was about to die from boredom. He only guarded me, standing in front of the door and occasionally entering my room to check on me, just to return back to standing still.A week after that uneventful cycle, Rokhan finally started a conversation, in a form of question to me, because lately he had been accompanying me to the library almost every day."I am studying." I answered simply.His eyebrows rose a little, maybe half believing my words. He must have thought of me as a sleazy type of person.I am THE Lancelot Ral
