"Daisy, is Prince Claus inside?" ask Elene.
Daisy was a little surprised to see Elene, but as an experienced waitress, she immediately replied.
"Well, is there a need to talk to him?"
"Please." Elen nodded.
Daisy turned her head towards me and used her gaze to ask for my instructions.
"Let him in." I said.
Daisy nodded and let Elena through.
Elene entered the room and tried to smile, however, her smile was clearly forced.I could see and a trace of sadness and fatigue on her face, caused by today's events.
She was wearing a loose robe that hid her beautiful body. His long black hair was a little wet, probably because he had taken a shower before coming here.
I can imagine the reason he came here. Actually, I was expecting something like this, but he came sooner than I expected.
"Prince." Elene bowed a little.
“Stop, sister Elene. You know that with our relationship, you don't have to bend when you see me.”
Elene smiled wryly and stood up. He could read between the lines and understand the meaning of my words, but right now, he was in no mood to notice them.
"Prince, you might know why I'm here."
I'm nodding. Right now, there is only one reason that can make Elene come to see me.
Elen breathed. He then looked at Daisy and put on an apologetic expression. "Daisy, can I talk to Prince Claus in person?"
"Of course, sister Elene." Daisy was accepted easily. He then threw a mischievous look at me and smirked.
This girl already knew about my relationship with Elene, so she could guess how this would end.
As soon as Daisy left the room and closed the door, only Elene and I remained inside. Elene moved her body uncomfortably in her chair and looked at me.
"Prince, I hope you can save my husband's life."
I didn't answer. As I expected, Elene is here for that.
Seeing my silence, Elene became nervous. He hurriedly opened his lips to continue speaking, afraid that I might reject him without giving him time to speak.
“A-I know that Raul has offended you repeatedly and that his actions today are more than enough to give him the death penalty, but please, I beg you. J-If you really like me like you said before, please save him. ”
Then, Elene bit her lips and bowed. He remained like that for an entire minute, waiting for my answer patiently.
Finally, I let out a breath.
"You know what would happen if Raul's plan worked today?"
Elen did not answer.
"Daisy must be dead" I said grimly. "Tell me, Elene, do you think Raul will save Daisy's life?"
Elena doesn't know how to answer.
"i don't understand." I continued. “I saw how Raul treated you today. He did not hesitate to hit you in front of the entire palace! How can you beg for a person like him!?”
“Huh... Elene, why don't you forget her? I may not be able to take you as my main wife, but you can be my concubine. Damn, if you really insist, I don't mind opposing the practices of this world and taking you as my wife. Why do you have to insist on saving her? ”
“... If I become your wife, will you spare her?” Elene looked up at my face when asked.
I'm speechless.
"Sister Elene, do you still love her?"
“... I don't know.. Probably not...”
“Then, why are you doing this?”
“... Even if I stop loving her, and she treats me like that, she is still my husband. It is my duty to help her and support her.”
I focused my gaze on Elene for a moment. Standing up, I circled around the room repeatedly and thought about Elene's plea.
Actually, I've been expecting this for a long time.I understand Elene well enough to know that she won't let her husband die.
The problem is, how to use that to my advantage.
I looked at Elene and breathed.
"Sister Elene, do you like me?"
Elene surprised. He looked at my face for a moment before putting on an awkward expression.
"… I don't know. I think I hate you, but sometimes, I miss you and want to see you.”.
Better than I expected.
“... Saudaei Elene, I really like you. However, I cannot forgive your husband easily. But, I agree.”.
"Thank you!?" Elene's face was radiant.
"But I have one condition."
Elen nodded. "Say, prince."
“You won't see it again. After today, you and he will break off the relationship completely. He will be exiled to a distant place where he will never come into contact with us. He will not be able to contact his family or friends and will lose all of his possessions. Even if I forgive his life, I will not forgive his mistake.”
Elene's expression turned complicated, but she nodded. "Fair enough. I'm fine with that.”
"Well then, tonight someone will take him out of jail." I said.
Elene gave me a grateful look. "Thank you, prince."
He then put on a hesitant expression and bit his lips.
“... Actually, prince, I expect you to ask my body in return for saving Raul.”'s life
I raised my eyebrows in surprise. "i really want to do it, but if I do, you'll hate me completely."
Elene looked at me and took a deep breath. He then stood up and walked towards me while slowly taking off his robe.
“... I'm glad you didn't do it.. And, I want to return this favor..
Her sparkling white skin appeared before me.
