“…I think it’s because there’s something wrong with the drug.”
“….”
“Eli said that there wasn’t anything wrong this time, though Lily and I think that the drug might be a failure again.”
“….”
“Actually, this is not the only time Eli was confident. In the beginning, he continued to say that there were no errors or defects in his work, but it never had the same effect as he thought.”
Cain’s gaze slowly reached me as I spoke, blurring the end of my words. As I narrowed my brow at his intensely clinging gaze as if trying to find out what was going on inside of my feelings, he raised the corners of his lips playfully.
“Then, what if the drug is properly made this time?”
“Yes?”
“If it was a properly made drug this time, under what circumstances did the wizard say that you would return into a human form?”
I bit my lip in response to his persistent question.
…Does he want me to say it now? That I fell in love with him and turned into a human, huh…? I felt like I was going to be put to shame right away just thinking about it, so I shook my head and replied.
“Your Highness really doesn’t need to worry about this at all, really.”
“What do you mean?”
“Honestly, if there’s any possibility, I’ll tell you but it was really nonsense.”
I responded by shrugging my shoulders at Cain.
…Yeah, frankly, that is ridiculous. Did I fall for the male lead? If I did not really want to die, it was nonsense. I would rather it be right that my heart was fluttering for a moment at that perfect face. The next moment, a shallow laugh leaked out of his mouth as I shook my head and moved my body slightly.
Again, I was curious to see him smiling more than what was described in the novel, although he turned his gaze out the window.
“Oh, we must’ve arrived.”
The carriage, which had been running diligently with the horse, came to a timely stop. For a moment, I tilted my head at the beautiful natural scenery outside the window, and Cain, who got off the carriage first, reached out to me.
“Are we going to get off?”
“Why? Do you need a survival kit this time, too?”
At his teasing words, I glared at him playfully before grabbing his hand and getting off the carriage. As I took Cain’s hand and went down to the ground, I could see an emerald-colored lake.
