Shadow King Chronicles: Building a Kingdom From Behind the Scenes
Chapter 87: Princess and Prince
it's been four days since the meeting. Everything has been going fine except one. Where has Anna been all this time? I didn't see him in class, in the cafeteria for breakfast, lunch or night, and in the library, where we used to gather.
I had asked both of my sisters to come to her second year female dormitory but there was absolutely no response from her room. Was she sick? I don't know if it's like this I have to go to the girls' dormitory myself.
it's against the rules anyway. let alone the girls' dormitory has stricter security than the men's dormitory.You could have escaped the punishment made under the school rules if you were caught, you know, but you won't escape the fist of the female dormitory guards' mothers if you get caught infiltrating there.
every female dormitory in every army has its own guards.I don't know much about them but based on the rumors I heard, they are former knights who have been directly involved in the war. I don't know the truth of this rumor, but it's better to play it safe.
I will infiltrate tonight.I don't have to worry about getting caught or not. Well, infiltrating such a place is a child's toy to me. Well, I'm really arrogant! but I'm serious. Still I shouldn't let my guard down because it would be troublesome if there were any traces I left behind.
night came, it was time for me to act. I would not enter through the front door but through the window. I could've gotten into the ladies' dorm building and broke into Anna's bedroom door and went inside, but didn't I show up on the lady's balcony against a moonlight background like Kait** Ki* from the manga detectiv*Con*does look cooler?
besides, I have a feeling that he is staring at the moon tonight.The thing I always do at night before the break. I wonder if he really did that.
I casually walked into the female Dormitory area.I saw that there were several guards who were walking around there. Their weaponry was quite complete.A medium-sized sword was also draped around their waist. when viewed from his own strength, at least at least they were in the semi-grade one rank, a rank that was high enough just to guard the Dormitory area.
indifferently I walked past them. I don't need to sneak around even if the one undergoing this patrol is a knight or mage with powers equivalent to Special grade. hiding my existence without even having to obscure my physical body was easy.
the guards who were patrolling were also completely unaware of me. No, instead They were unaware, it was like they did not feel any irregularities at all. I don't have to face suspicion later.
hmmmm I wonder where Anna's room is. Well, let's find her with detection magic. oh, meet! he was on the third floor.As I expected, he was staring at the moon. I immediately met him using flying magic.

Unlike the clear night sky due to the moonlight and stars that illuminated the dark of the night, Anna's gaze was empty. It had been five days since the incident and she had not come out of her dorm at all. he didn't tell anyone about this matter.
but in fact, he had been here for five days and no one had come to him. would no one care about him? was he really that useless so that no one came up to him and asked him how he was?
he continued to be pensive like that, until finally surprised by the presence of people he knew so well, his beloved friend, Issac.he was happy.even his lips formed a smile, as soon as she realized that she was smiling, Anna immediately wiped it off her face.
Five days ago, he repeatedly blamed Issac in his heart. he did not know what kind of expression he should put on when meeting Issac and what feelings he should overflow when he spoke to him later. Anna doesn't know.
"Yoohhh, Anna, I haven't seen you in a long time.I miss your pretty face lhoo.." Usually when you hear that Anna will be shy but happy.but this time, this time, it's, he's not like that. Issac realizes there is something different from Anna he knows
Anna turned her face away.she was not angry.she already did not blame Issac.but somehow she was not able to look at the face of Issac.His heart ached. Issac who noticed this disorganization immediately led Anna into his room.a little disrespectful, but this was not the time to think about it.
Anna was sitting on the bed while Issac was making tea for the two of them. This conversation would be long, so he also prepared a snack. This was not the right time but there was no problem.
"Anna, if you don't mind, will you tell me what happened to you all this time? I may not be able to solve your problems, but it's okay to share your burden with me a little. We're best friends, anyway."
Anna had begun to calm down.His cries had subsided. somewhat stammered, she began to tell all the bad events she had experienced.including what Gustave did to her.
****
Issac sipped his tea.he listened to all the outpouring of heart that came out of Anna's mouth.he did not cut.he really listened to all that until Anna's heart became light.but of course, he did not cut off, his hands were secretly clenched after hearing what had happened to him. In fact, his palms were bleeding.
it's his fault.it's for sure.he promised to protect Anna even release Anna from Conrad's dirty hands.but in fact, he did nothing to it. regrets, anger, hatred, and, and vengeance was accumulating in his heart.
he didn't mind if he was the one being targeted after all, no one could hurt him. But he was too naive.he probably wouldn't get hurt, after all, but if he does not assert his power before those people, another Anna-Anna will appear.
she hugged Anna. This girl was a very precious person to her. was as precious as Aurellia, her two brothers and Lili. the attempt to harm him is a sin that cannot be redeemed even with a mountain of gold.
"Issac, I know this is selfish but, can I continue to hug you like this? i..still scared."
Hearing the request from Anna's mouth immediately made Issac's heart melt. Issac smiled and stroked Anna's beautiful red hair.
"selfishness like this I will always accept Anna. embrace me, until you are satisfied."
Anna smiled gently at Issac's reply.he leaned his head against Issac's chest.It didn't take long, Anna fell asleep.
realizing that, Issac carried Anna in the style of a princess and placed her on the bed and covered her body. Issac sat by Anna's bed. decided to wait for her.he chuckled to himself.It's like a prince saving his daughter's master from chasing monsters isn't it?
Issac smiled, then held his chin. Tomorrow, he had to make sure that Gustave had to atone for his sins.he would give the calculations to Gustave.he thought of the best and most despicable way to punish Gustave.
