Chapter 156

I came up to my room and saw the two knights standing tall in front of the door. 'They look like prison guards, not knights.'

I went coldly past the frowning, silent ones and entered my room. Emily, who had just finished fixing the bed, welcomed me.

"You've come back, Miss?"

I feel sorry for Emily's hard work, but I immediately laid down on my neat bed. Noticing that I wasn't feeling well, she cautiously asked.

"Is there anything you want for lunch? I'll tell the chef." "Emily."

"Yes, yes?"

"What does she do all day?"

The good news is that the heroine can't get out of the mansion either. Just a moment ago, the Duke himself told me that he has no intention of announcing her return not until her coming-of-age ceremony.

"Shall I ask Becky?"

Emily lowered her voice when she understood me. I nodded.

"Not too much detail. Just simply ask her what she's doing at the moment, how she's spending the day at the duchy."

"Yes, my lady. I'll be right back!" Emily quickly left the room.

After a few minutes... "My lady..."

Emily, as she said, came back quickly and told me the news.

"In order to regain her memories, during the day, she'll follow her maid around the mansion and after dinner, she'll go out for walk alone."

"Without a maid?" "Yes."

"She's headed for the woods, right?" "How did you know?"

Emily opened her eyes wide and bit back.

'Isn't it too obvious that she's going to see Eclise?' "What is she doing now?"

"Uhm.."

Emily hesitated a little in answering my question. Then, she opened her mouth and looked at me urging her to answer.

"She's having tea with the Young Duke."

I understand why she hesitated to answer.

She was worried that I would be hurt because I looked unhappy right after I came back from a meeting with the Duke.

But to my surprise, I really didn't even care. "Of course you'll have your lunch separately."

"It's alright. I have one more favor to ask of you Emily."

I quickly stopped Emily, who was trying to give me comfort. "Oh, what is it?"

"Give me your clothes."

Emily, who heard my whisper, asked me with her eyes wide open. "Well, why's that?"

"Why? Because I have something to care about." "But what if you get caught right away?"

"Don't worry. Just do as I told."

"Okay, miss. It's a secret escape, isn't it?"

Emily still seems confused but she nodded her head gently "I'll get it immediately!"

Contrary to her concerns, she was strangely filled with determination as she left the room again quickly.

'Now all I have to do is sneak out of here...'

There's no other choice but to climb the wall again. This is the second time I'm escaping because of him.

'Damn, how troublesome just for that son of a bitch.' I looked at the canister with gloomy eyes.

***With only three days left until the coming-of-age ceremony*** Time flew by.

By the time the dusk fell and everyone in the mansion began to eat dinner, Emily also came to my room dragging a tray of food.

"Miss, she just started eating."

"Well done. Let's start our preparations." "I'm already ready. Are you done?"

She looked at me standing up in front of the dressing table, folding up my long sleeves, with a startled look. She spoke carefully with a worried look on her face.

"Wouldn't it be too obvious, miss?"

I could see myself in the mirror, wearing in a big man's servant's clothes. Emily brought it in the smallest size, but there was still a lot left in the arms.

But it wasn't a matter of size. No matter how much she picked up the clothes worn by the servants, Penelope is a princess no matter who saw her on the way.

"Look carefully."

We can't control who will know the secret if we ask for help. I had no choice but to take out the bracelet I got from Derick in front of Emily. And right away I put it on my wrist. As soon as I did, the purple jewels glowed.

"Oh, my God!"

I looked at my reflection in the mirror. The princess disappeared out of nowhere, and a pretty boy with short coriander hair appeared.

"Oh my! It's magic."

Emily said, who almost fainted at my transformation. I nodded roughly. "I'll be back in a little while. Memorize my face."

"I don't know if you can disguise as the boy! Where did you get that stuff?"

I didn't answer the question. I can't say it was given to me by the Devil who had a heroine and refreshments during the day.

"Now that I'm going down, you should go out, too, Emily."

A husky voice flowed out, which was a little different from my original voice.

Emily, who had repeatedly said, "Oh, my God, my God," closed her mouth when she saw my arrogant face.

She looked at me for a moment, then followed me on my way to the window frame. "Miss, I think this is too dangerous. Why not go out the door with me?"

"What do you tell them outside? Really, are you going to say that the boy was hiding in the lady's room?"

"Oh, my lady! I can't say that!"

When I smiled and said something, her face turned red for a moment. "But it's so high."

In front of the window frame was a pile of sheets I had tied up all day. Recalling the failure of the last festival, it was quite bulky this time, gathering all the fabrics I could find.

The thought of holding onto the blanket again and trying to escape was most frustrating for me, the person involved. But I had no choice but to get outside the door and sneak out of the front guards.

"Ha..."

It was when I was sighing low, looking down at the distant bottom.

[Momentary Movement] An unexpected quest has occurred!

Forward, D-3! If you still haven't met the limits of hard mode, visit the capture target waiting for you!

1.[Derick] 2.[Callisto]

3. [Vinter]

4. [Renald] 5.[Eclise]

My eyes suddenly lit up when I saw the white square.

I remembered my disguise. Looking at it blankly, I soon twisted my face. 'You crazy game, you should have come out before I tied up the blanket!'

The hard work that kept me dragging the blanket for the whole day went to nothing. With my fists clenched, I stared into the air, and soon opened my mouth with deep breaths.

" Emily."

"Yes?"

"Get out of here now and do your job."

"But how can I let you go down this rough road alone?"

"You must do the right thing so that I won't be caught in time." Emily has to keep anyone from entering my room.

To my voice, which was beginning to be irritated, Emily quickly answered with a timid voice. "Okay, miss. You really have to be careful."

"Okay."

"Really. Be really careful...!" "Won't you get out of the room?"

She hurried out of the room, startled by my glaring eyes. Tak-.

The door was closed and silence came in the room. I looked at the white square window still floating in the air. Although I was annoyed by the fact that the quest appeared now, I was glad I didn't have to take the trouble of climbing the wall.

As I reached out to make a choice, I paused on top of the system window for a moment. And then I shook my head to clear it. I had selected.

[Eclise]. Would you like to move right now? [Yes. / No.]

When I pressed [Yes.], my eyes flashed white immediately. I don't know why I'm so mixed up. When I opened my eyes again, I was standing in front of a building.

'I am here'

The building was dark with no lights on except for the entrance. I realized while looking around the dreary neighborhood. This is a building, like a prison, where knights are kept under arrest.

Surely the building was a prison, this place was more dreary and sparsely embedded than the building used by apprentices, and I walked straight into it.

I had already thought of an excuse to enter the prison. There were only two knights guarding the entrance of the building, whether they had gone to dinner or not, but as I approached them, they were reflecting on the excuse I had thought of.

Bug, Bug, Bug. Someone popped out of the entrance with a quick step.

Even though it could be barely seen from the light of the lamp, I opened my eyes to the hair of the bay. 'Crazy, damn bastardl!'

The two knights standing guard at the entrance bowed to Derick, who had just come out. "Get in, boss!"

"Go through it."

When he was near, I bowed my head as soon as he said hello briefly and moved right away. My heart fluttered like it would pop out of fear of being caught.

'It's all right. He never saw me transform when I wear my bracelet'

I put down my fast-folded sleeve to cover my bracelet. It's dark anyway, so he won't be able to see it well.

By the time I was pretending to be a passing servant, as expected, he passed me by casually. It was the moment when I just lifted my head, which I had bowed with a sigh of relief.

He suddenly stopped walking. "Hey. "
