What the Hero Wanted Was Me

Chapter 14

Chapter 14.

Shiana was in her own room, staring at her white roses, thinking of her.

‘How should I use this..?’

She brought it because it was held in her hand, but she didn’t know where to put it, so she was troubled.

Even if she burned her white rose, she couldn’t use it on herself because she couldn’t enjoy any effect because she was knowledgeable in her spiritual power and herbs.

‘That’s absolutely not the case…’

But she knew better than anyone how to use it well.

‘It’s a crime, that’s…!’

She was Shiana who was in conflict with the morality that existed within her.

•••

It was only towards evening that we returned to the mansion.

“Wasn’t it on a mission?”

She seemed surprised to see us back, but when she gave us the outline of her mission, she finally came to her understanding.

‘I’m glad you came quickly..’

After she ate dinner, she thought about going to Lenny’s room one more time. She felt relieved.

“Then will the princess die?”

She happened to be at dinner time when we arrived, so she was Shiana asking questions about her mission while having dinner together.

“People are born with a destiny from the Goddess. It would be difficult to change it if they received a revelation.”

Laysha was speaking realistically because she didn’t have a princess in this position. The conclusion was that it was impossible to twist her fate, even as a saint.

“But I’ll have to try changing it once.”

Eren began to chop up her meat and say that her attempt was important.

“You can’t miss what you want to grab, right?”

She was talking as she stuffed the bloody meat into her mouth. Clearly, her gaze was on the meat, but Lenny felt as if he was being watched by Eren.

‘Don’t miss what you want to grab…’

It was Shiana who was unnecessarily serious and misinterpreted the meaning of the words.

“What we need to focus on is protecting and finding out who is responsible for the incident.”

Sera spoke to us, pointing out the heart of this mission.

“Even if her Aine dies, the person who killed her must be found out.”

The important thing was information gathering, not just escort. Sarah’s words had some truth.

If Aine dies, what will happen to Aria? If her child, whom she considered her only family, died, she would be left alone with Arya. Physically and psychologically. Because all the people she trusted left by her side.

So Lenny had to stop this case no matter what. She, of course, was not unfounded confidence.

‘Eren has the power of a holy sword.’

That was an important key to escorting the princess this time.

You can escape from the illusion of the original.

“Arya..”

“No, don’t even call me!”

It was a time when there was a quarrel between sisters in the imperial castle.

“Why make an appointment if you can’t go!”

Make people look forward to it at best. Arya, who had been looking forward to going out for the first time in a while, felt very bad at her disappointment.

The combination of Lenny’s disappearance and not meeting him further created a cloud in Aria’s heart.

‘They told me not to come to me…’

When she heard that Lenny was coming, she knew that there was a hero she didn’t like, but she was Aria who asked her to join him as well.

‘Not today, but later..!’

She understood in her head that something had happened to Aine, but her heart was filled with disappointment.

‘I missed you too…’

What Lenny means to Arya. It was an action that Aine did not know well.

“Sorry about the promise! But…”

Hiding herself under her blanket, Arya covered her ears. She heard little by little what Aine was saying, but she couldn’t hear exactly because the sound was blocked by the blanket and her hands.

After a while, the sound of her door closing and the sound of her words could not be heard anymore.

“Puha…!”

It seems that Aine has left her room, so Aria pulls off the blanket that was covering her whole body. She can barely breathe now. She exhaled.

She was the aria that, if Aine had been in her room for a few more minutes, she would have been found choking.

There was no one in Aria’s room, so there was no sound except her breathing, and it was the moment when Aria felt her emptiness.

‘I am now the previous owner, is this? Where can you go without seeing me..’

‘It’s too much. How long have you been with me…’

For a moment, Aria hated Lenny, but her feelings of hatred quickly disappeared as she remembered the good times she had with him.

‘What do you do on the festival day?’

The celebration day was Arya’s one of her favorite days. She said last year she was happy to hold Lenny’s hand and she was all over the place and she was excited because she knew she would be participating this year as well.

Unfortunately, however, the festival that came after Lenny disappeared was not very pleasant.

Seeing her frustration at not being able to do anything this year, Aine asked to go with her, but as she saw the situation just now, even that promise had disappeared and there was no one to celebrate with.

‘I’ll go alone.’

Since the festival was a good memory for her, Aria decided that she would enjoy it even if she went alone. She said she would enjoy the festival alone.

It was because the people she was with were not nearby, but the meaning of the festival was a big thing to Aria.

It was a warm space where her vague memories of her mother existed, so Arya went to sleep dreaming of her.

•••

Back in her room, Lenny began to feel uncomfortable in her room, which didn’t look much different.

‘Did someone come in?’

The bottle in which her white rose was put in was moved minutely, which made her wonder.

She was reluctant to let anyone into her room as it was Lenny who had put her important things in her locked drawers.

‘Drawer..’

There were stationery and a white rose in the unlocked place, and nothing seemed to have changed.

Fortunately, the locked drawer didn’t appear to have been opened.

‘Who came in and touched it…?’

I told the attendants that I would clean my room, so there was no reason for them to come in except when they mistook the room, and there was no need to touch anything.

‘Is this Siana…?’

The girl who hates human men came into my room and touched the bottle on the bed?

“Ah, no..”

She was the one who was left alone in her mansion today, but she sneaked into my room, something that could never happen. Because she hated human men.

Lenny did not notice her change of heart in Sianna..

Curiosity about the body of her human man Lenny springs up in Shiana’s head.

•••

It was dark in the room of Henry, the 1st prince of the imperial castle, even though it was evening, the curtains were drawn and the lights were not turned on.

“How are things going?”

The attendant knew better than anyone else that if he answered incorrectly, his head would be cut off, so he answered carefully.

“I arranged it to be held on the day of the festival four..Three days later..!”

At that, Henry nodded his head in satisfaction and started talking to them.

“Failure is death, you know?”

“Yes..Yes..! I will never disappoint you…!”

Seeing how his predecessor died before his eyes, the attendant had to somehow resolve this issue.

“Don’t forget to disguise yourself as the 2nd Prince.”

Handing him a sword with a dragon on it, Henry patted the attendant on the shoulder and muttered.

“Don’t let me down. Your family is watching.”

Family. The attendant had a daughter and a wife who would not hurt even if he put them in his eyes. That’s why it never failed.

‘Princess Aine is annoying…’

She had a brilliant brain and cool judgment. More than me 1st Prince Hendrick still felt nervous that the successor had not been announced.

That’s why I made the choice.

‘Aria will kill her princess and crush her.’

The goal is to kill Aine’s little finger, Arya, and destroy her spirit.

“What is the trend of the warrior party?”

A shadow jumped out from behind Henry and began reporting to him.

“Probably, it looked like it would escort Princess Aine.”

“Huh.”

Henry sneered and laughed at the situation. Because this situation was funny to him.

‘Who is escorting whom? Isn’t the target wrong, Aine.’

Since Henry had intended to kill Arya from the beginning, he was more satisfied with the current situation than anyone else.

‘It will flow. Everything falls into place.’

The person who becomes the crown prince and the others. Believing that everything will find its place, the prince exclaimed.

“Soon my time will return..”

The prince, who believed that the era of being recognized by others for his talents from a young age would return, was more emotional than anyone else.

As time passed, the princess’ escort horses arrived at the imperial castle, and they did not know at all.

“Let’s fight!”

He did not know that the target he had to protect was another person.

‘Oh, it’s Lenny!’

Arya had no idea that she was the target of the assassination.

She was going to enjoy the festival in the square without knowing anything about it, and she did not know the future.
