Damn it.

My head began to spin at the sudden appearance of male lead.

'Wait a minute, there was no such content in the original story.... The Crown Prince was in the North for several years when he disappeared? Is this also a secret?'

I didn't want to get entangled, so I walked to the gate and locked it, but I didn't know you came into the forest through the boundary.

'Is there a separate passage from the capital to the border? Or did he simply turn around and come all the way here?'

As I fell silent due to my shock, the Crown Prince reached out and grabbed my arm.

'It's hot.'

His whole body was a ball of fire. Unlike me, who was bewildered, the Crown Prince was looking straight at me.

Even while his body was boiling with heat, his blue eyes were clear enough.

"Found.... You."

Before I could even ask what it meant, the Crown Prince fell into my arms.

".....!

His heavy breathing came near my ears. When I grabbed his waist, which collapsed reflexively, I felt a warm sensation in my palm. I could tell it was blood without looking.

'He fainted.'

"Your Highness, are you all right?"

Anna, who was restless, ran to me in great surprise.

"It's okay."

As I held onto the prince, I was immersed in thought for a moment. My options were two.

1. Leaving the male lead, the Crown Prince, at this place, then Anna and I returned to the castle.

2. Take the Crown Prince, the male lead, to the castle as it is.

'If I just go back...'

It was patrol time. One of the Knights may find the Crown Prince.

'The male lead face is not known, but the problem is that the Royal family has blond hair for generations. Anyone would notice that he is a member of the Royal family.'

No matter how few people knew your face, I couldn't let anyone else find it.

'It's difficult. There must be spies of other nobles in my castle.'

*****

Fortunately, the wound wasn't as deep as I thought.

The blood that felt muddy seemed to be someone else's blood.

'Should I call a physician? It's not too bad, but I think it will leave a scar...... No.'

I thought it would better not increase the number of people who saw this face.

"Your Highness."

Anna hands the hemostatic agent. It was a shallow wound, so it would be enough to cool the blood with a hemostatic agent and treat the wound later. I spray a hemostatic agent on the Crown Prince's wound and wrap the wound with a bandage.

"What shall we do with the sheet?"

The sheets were dirty from the blood of the Crown Prince and the blood of other people on his clothes.

It was obvious that the other maids would make a fuss if they found it, but there was no other way.

"Burn it with the blood of the assassin. The assassin died in my bed."

"All right."

When I looked down at the bed, the Crown Prince eyebrows furrowed.
