12 – Boyhood ~Let’s settle the situation~

“Kyaaaaa…!”

Crisp─

As soon as she landed, Sehee felt that the protective artifact in her arms was broken.

I wonder if the artifact absorbed the shock instead.

After landing on the floor after rolling over several times, she confirmed that there were no injuries to her body, and then she hurriedly got herself up.

“Come on! Hurry up and let me know!”

Se-hee starts moving her body in a hurry to find people around her without even thinking about shaking off the dust.

After wandering around for a while, she realized that the situation was not serious as she saw the busily moving servants.

Unmanned men holding sharp weapons run out with fearsome momentum, and servants who manage the mansion run away with fearful expressions.

To be the usual kite family, they look too foreign.

Yes, it is as if the family has been attacked…….

“Couldn’t it be that only the original woman was attacked!”

In her moment, as she recalled the family members who had visited the Yeon family with her, she held her maid near her with a pale complexion.

She was an impressive woman with black hair that reached her waist and a cold atmosphere.

“Ki, wait!”

“Meet the treasure of the empire.”

“What’s the matter now? If something goes wrong with His Majesty…!”

“The impious one has attacked His Majesty the Emperor. Her Highness is also in danger, so please take refuge.”

Se-hee, who caught her lady-in-waiting as she ran at her speed, shouted in surprise at her reply.

“What!? Father! Is Father all right!”

“Don’t worry. Where His Majesty and the members of the royal family were, the head of the family as well as the family’s main forces were guarding Okche. Since His Majesty himself is a military man who has reached the state of the art, the assassins who attacked him have been wiped out. Now We’re looking for any remnants left.”

“I-I’m so glad. I’m so glad…”

“More than that, Your Highness, is that mask worn on your head…”

When her maid uttered those words, Sehee finally realized her purpose for coming here and shouted loudly.

“Yes! Handmaid! It’s a big deal! Yeon Je-seong and assassins are in the garden over there…!!”

At the same time, the spirit of the maid in front of her sharpened.

“Could you elaborate on that?”

“I was playing with Jeseong when an assassin suddenly attacked. I escaped thanks to Jeseong, but now Jeseong will be fighting the assassins alone!”

“You must have attached an escort to the young master… Could it be a barrier?”

The lady-in-waiting, who was struggling while twisting her elegant eyebrows, immediately nodded her head, and she said to Se-hee.

“I understand. We will take responsibility for protecting you, so please follow the guidance of the others and join His Majesty.”

“No!

“But Your Highness…!”

“No! No! No! She was left there for her mother! How could she, alone, escape to her place of safety!”

It was absurd, but Sehee desperately expressed her opinion.

The lady-in-waiting who heard that made a very puzzled expression, but unfortunately, all the servants near her fell into the assassin’s search or had already entered her house for protection.

It was difficult to even find a servant who would hand over the princess’s personal affairs.

“Huuuuu?

“Okay!”

At the same time, thick darkness flowed from the skirt of her maid and covered her princess.

“Huh?!”

“Be patient. It will protect you.”

“Uhyaaaaagh!?”

After saying that, the lady-in-waiting lifted her hand and headed for her garden at high speed.

‘There must have been escorts near you. I must hurry.’

There were five princesses, but the maid who heard her story told her that she decided that there must be more than that.

Perhaps the other escorts are struggling to keep the assassins at bay.

Stepping on the roof of the building, the maid increased her speed.

───

“Chae…Hyun?”

“Bocchan, you endured well.”

Chaehyeon, the maid who received a help call from Sehee, felt relieved and infinitely guilty at the same time as she looked at the young master standing safely.

It’s a mistake that can’t be made as the shadow of the kite who was in charge of escorting the young master.

No matter how much she was away, she neglected the boy who was the target of her escort and confronted the enemy.

What do these people think they exist for?

She lowered her head even more deeply, suppressing the pull of her flesh.

“The crime of not escorting the young master and leaving scars on his body. I apologize with this useless life…!”

“Now, stop. That’s it.”

She took her sword and aimed at her own throat to pay for her crime, but as usual, she was interrupted by the master’s words.

“You always exaggerate. Just don’t die that much.”

It’s just that.

It was a major incident that could have put the young master’s safety in danger.

How can you say that is just that?

Chaehyun judged that even that was something the young master was carrying for themselves.

‘You’re trying to cover up mistakes by deliberately minimizing the incident.’

Chaehyun felt like she couldn’t lift her head at the kindness and kindness she felt from her son.

The master continued to speak to Chaehyun.

“It’s done because we caught them all. I didn’t know that they were attacked other than us. I hope it ended without damage somehow.”

“You!”

At that time, Sae-hee, who was watching the situation outside the garden, ran like flying.

“Are you all right!”

“Huh? What, why did you come back?”

“Eight! That’s important right now! Aren’t you hurt! Uh, hurry up and get treatment…!”

Se-hee struggles while holding on to her bleeding arm.

As she bites her lip and distorts her face, she throws her restraint in a monotonous tone.

“It’s okay, it doesn’t hurt that much.”

“Sounds silly! There’s no way it won’t hurt!”

“Her Highness is right, Bocchan. Let’s treat first. Listening to the story comes next.”

When Chae-hyun, who was by her side, applied for Se-hee, who was angry and crying, Je-seong, who had been calm, finally gave up his opinion.

“Okay. Then let’s go back.”

“Please leave the cleanup to me.”

“Come on! Let’s go!”

The moment he was being led out of the garden by Sehee’s hand.

Her

Her voice came from the woman who was walking in front of her.

“From now on, don’t do anything reckless like that.”

“But back then it was for the best…”

“But! Didn’t that almost kill you…”

A whimper is heard.

Her Yeon Jeseong followed her still and closed her eyes.

Before he knew it, he passed her girl who was walking in front of her and was walking in front of her.

Looking back, Sehee was standing still with her hands covering her face.

“I don’t like it. I don’t want you to get hurt because of me. I don’t want to grow apart from my first close friend.”

The cry gets louder and louder.

Yeon Je-seong, who was quietly listening to her cry, scratched his cheek.

An unfamiliar sensation gripped her chest.

‘Has there ever been a friend who has worried about me this much?’

I was sure.

It was the first time.

She categorically did not have a single friend whom she made so deeply that she would cry for her.

I did.

It must have been…….

‘I never thought I’d meet such a friend here.’

This is the feeling of being worried by someone.

It was embarrassing, but on the other hand, it didn’t feel too bad to have my heart tickling.

So Yeon Je-seong approached Se-hee.

Se-hee, who was momentarily taken aback by the approaching man, soon trembled lightly with his eyes closed.

“What are you so excited about?”

A slightly softer voice spreads than usual.

At the same time, the mask on Sehee’s head was lifted into his hand.

“Someone’s falling out with someone.”

The intermittent cries slowly cease.

“I’m dead long ago if I’m only going to get away with this much danger.”

I’m not joking, I’m serious.

Compared to the dangers to be faced in the future, this level is not even included in the axis of danger.

“Also, don’t call them close friends if you don’t like them.”

“Uhhhhh…!”

I heard sniffles again, followed immediately by words.

“So let me introduce myself again.”

Yeon Je-seong put on the mask at an angle and smiled at Se-hee, who opened her eyes wide as if surprised.

“Uh…Eh?”

“I am Yeon Je-seong, the son of Yeon Chang-hyeok, the 20th head of the Yeon family, and the next head of the family. How about you?”

Yeon Je-seong’s golden eyes turn this way.

Is it because of my mood? Suddenly, the surrounding landscape was blurred.

My gaze is fixed only on his face.

Se-hee, who was staring blankly at him, spat out words as if possessed.

“I am the 1st Princess Hwang Se-hee, the eldest daughter of the 13th emperor of the Yellow and Yellow Empires, the Yongle Emperor.”

It is burdensome to suddenly make eye contact.

A blush slowly blooms on his face as he starts fiddling with his hair.

Come to think of it, this situation was the same as the scene I saw in a children’s book.

It was a scene where her prince, who saved her princess, confessed to her.

‘I never thought it was based on a true story!’

Sehee desperately imitated an arrogant mask to hide her fluttering breasts.

It was a mask that imitated my respected mother.

Fortunately, the mask, which had been trained during her external activities, seemed to have worked. She somehow managed to spit out words while stuttering.

“Yes, Sehee.”

“That, you again…!”

“How about you, do you want to be friends?”

“You know who the original girl is, but you’re talking half-heartedly!?”

Chi, friend? Have you seen him?

Sehee was confused.

I felt both resentful and affectionate toward Je-seong, who attacked him unexpectedly while he was preparing himself mentally.

‘Friends? Yeon Je-seong’s first friend?’

I am happy but also sad.

Feeling such contradictory feelings, Sehee’s expression changed into a comical one.

“Ha ha ha! What a stupid face!”

“Hey! Shit, that’s loud and stupid!”

“So what do you want to do?”

At Yeon Je-seong’s question, Se-hee slowly nodded her head toward her tear-stained eyes.

“Well, he’s not a guy I like, but I’d like to make him my best friend!”

Let it be known with honor!

Bean─

“Ouch!”

He hit me again!

Even though I know it’s the princess this time!

As I turned my gaze with such a protest, Jeseong Yeon said with a relaxed expression.

“And I couldn’t tell you, but no matter how friendly you are, keep mutual etiquette. If you speak inappropriately, I will hit you again.”

“Eeeee

She dares to do such a thing and still be safe!

Se-hee is proud of her authority.

However, Yeon Je-seong nodded his head without flinching.

“Of course! I’m not a man who is soft enough to lighten his hands thinking only of this flammability and gender!”

“No, think about your status!”

Se-hee attacks Yeon Je-seong by lifting her tiptoe.

Jeseong twists his head to avoid the attack so as not to lose to Sehee.

The escorts, who had been watching the two people bickering here and there from a distance, quietly followed them, hiding their presence.

It was summer.
