The heavy atmosphere passed, and Sen smiled saying, “It’s good that we can stay together quite a bit longer these days.”

Since I was able to change the fate of quite a big incident, the compensation was also hefty. Of course, if you think about it, the sacrifice I made was still a bit too harsh just in order to make it rise this much.

Still, thanks to this the duration of “Summon” is now two hours per day.

That means I can eat pecan pies for two hours! I picked up another slice and was about to take a bite when,

Knock. Knock.

The heavy knock made Sen’s face brighten.

“He must be here.”

Someone’s coming?

My mouth snapped shut before even biting the pie and felt cold energy going down my spine… Hey, don’t tell me…

“Ah! A while ago I met His Highness Kyle when I went to bring the pie and told him that you were here.”

“What…”

“How can you not greet His Highness when he was the one who saved you? Do you know how worried he was when you disappeared without a word?”

“…..”

Ah… I’m doomed.

In spite of my perplexed emotions, Sen cheerfully opened the door.

“Your Highness!”

The door opened and Kyle came in.

A handsome man stepped foot into the room, with a heart fluttering aura surrounding him… As if! There was no such man, instead there was a terrifying man, someone who conquered the North with his strength, of course he was still handsome, but……

His eyes are so intimidating!

My shoulders shook and I took a step back unconsciously. My back flinched at the shock, then hardened because of the pain. Yes, my back is better than yesterday but that doesn’t mean it’s fully healed!

I looked up at him, staying still awkwardly with no other place to retreat. To make matters worse, Sen announced that she was leaving, “Well, make yourself at home!”

Hey! Where are you going?! Don’t leave us alone! How am I supposed to handle this, ah…

“…..”

Kyle came closer to the lounge with his eyes fixed on me. The sound of his heavy footsteps seemed to sound more terrifying today.

Just by looking at his eyes, I felt like he was about to devour me whole. I faltered with my steps as I moved closer to the sofa.

He sat as well, not in front of me, but beside me. I gave way slightly by reflex… Hey, what’s wrong with you. Why are you sitting next to me.

“You’re alive.”

He said, drawing himself closer to me.

Why? Are you uncomfortable I didn’t die? Do you feel bad at the outcome? It was time to stop being passive and start loading up my eyes with bullets, let’s see what this man has to say.

“I thought you were dead…”

His sincerity was reflected in his deep voice. I kept silent, somehow unable to bring out any words. I felt a little sorry.

’…You really must have been worried to death.’

I was injured and bled so much, there was no time to handle both me and the banquet’s affairs. And I disappeared as soon as you settled me down at the study.
