Chapter 29

“Are you crazy? Are you really crazy?”

“It’s just a sentence. Just a sentence.”

After the journey home and while she was exercising, Wishit nagged her ears.

After hearing that she had handed Lark a note, he became angry like this.

“Did I not tell you that I want to help the crown prince?”

“I didn’t know you wanted to help in such a thoughtless way. You are a fool.”

“Did I do something crazy enough to be called a fool?”

“Of course.”

Wishit added, grinding his teeth.

“Who in the world knows at this point in time that the crown prince is suspicious of his aide and that he is agonizing over cutting his head? No one knows but the crown prince himself. Unless someone broke into the crown prince’s head.”

“That’s right.”

“But you’re showing it off? Are you advertising I know the future? Do you want to spread a rumour that you’re suspicious?”

“Sure! You got it correctly. I want to advertise and spread rumours.”

I answered plainly and finished exercising. Looking at me rolling around the mat with a calm face, Wishit laughed as if it was absurd.

“There is no way I can help the crown prince without letting him know that I know something. Even if there is, I’ll have to say it in such a frustrating roundabout way. I can’t afford to make such a move one by one now. I’m busy enough with my work.”

“What—!”

“Now, listen.”

I calmed down the excited Wishit and said.

“The crown prince must have been very surprised to see the note by now. ‘Cause I know he’s suspecting his aide to be a spy. Well, here’s the problem.”

“...”

“What is the crown prince’s first thought after reading the note? Subjectively. Answer me.”

“I’m sure he’s wondering what kind of suspicious woman you are. An aristocratic lady locked in the house and never coming out knows something she shouldn’t know and is trying to save the life of a spy whose head he is planning to cut. He might think you’re on the side of his political opponent.”

“Good answer. If the crown prince is an idiot, he will come to investigate me after cutting off the head of the aide as scheduled, even after reading my note.”

In the previous life, the blond-haired aide, who was no less than Lark’s limb, was beheaded.

This was because the aide leaked the unknown group and internal evidence, reaching the ears of Lark and the parliamentary nobles.

Eventually, he was beheaded for plotting treason.

‘The truth is, even the smartest crown prince can’t believe him... it was a very elaborate set-up.’

I discovered that Lark’s aide was beheaded for conspiracy a long time later.

So when his aide died, Lark died, and Nathan, the second prince, came to the throne more than 10 years later.

It was because of the spilt words of Brother Victor, who was doing well as a knight of the new emperor, who came to visit me after drinking.

“I, really... burp. How many years have I spent in the service of the crazy emperor... as a knight of the Order...”

“What do you mean, Brother? Why did you drink so much?”

“Ah, let’s talk about that later. I sweat a lot, and my body stinks. I’m going to wash up now.”

I was trying to push Wishit away when he stopped me.

“No, hey! Tell me everything before you go!”

“My mouth hurts! Get out of the way!”

I ran through the room quickly just in case I was caught and stopped.

“That’s right.”

“What?”

When I turned around, Wishit was looking at me with his arms crossed with a dissatisfied expression on his face.

“Of course, in the plans I’ve been talking about so far, there are a lot of variables.”

“I’m glad you know.”

“The crown prince could barge in and destroy my family and me without even thinking about talking.”

“...”

“He might come to talk, but if the conversation is not in the direction he wants, he might just screw it all up.”

“Yes, you should have thought of such a natural possibility from the beginning.”

“Of course I gave him the note after I thought about it all. That’s why this is a close game.”

“You like it so close. Do you have ten lives?”

“I have two. I have two wishes left.”

“Aha.”

Wishit exclaimed.

“I see, from the very beginning, you were acting boldly intending to make a wish if you screw it up.”

I nodded my head to Wishit, who said Now I understand.

“When the worst of the mentioned variables happen, I will use my second wish. I can’t be late, so I’ll tell you in advance.”

“Good. Which?”

There are only two wishes. And no matter what happens, I’m determined to leave one wish empty, so I have exactly one wish.

‘I decided to use this important wish for you.’

Recalling Lark’s face, I hoped he would make a wise choice.

But, if he doesn’t act smart as I wish.

“We have to completely revise the plan from the beginning...”

What can I do? If I fail, I’ll try again.

“You can turn back the time. Before I met the crown prince today.”

The next day.

The Diollus Duchy was turned upside down.
