When Agnes screamed, the knights were startled and loosened the straps that bound Cleo.
“Everyone, everyone get out! hurry! Get out now!”
Agnes let out everything she could see. Take care…i had to make amends somehow.
Everyone disappeared with such bewildered faces, and only two people remained in the Black Knights’ leader’s office.
“…..”
Agnes, left alone with her favorite, didn’t know what to do.
Cleo was still on his knees, looking up at her.
His eyes as she looked at her were full of hatred and contempt.
widely!
At that time, he lifted both wrists onto the sofa table. And then he spoke in a quiet voice.
“Cut it.”
“….. ”
“For daring to touch the princess’s body, please cut it off.”
The tone of voice was that he had no regrets.
At those words, Agnes felt like her mind was falling apart.
‘Cleo…..’
Her favorite, Cleo, was an unfortunate character that made me cry just thinking about it.
After all, She is the trash of character who torments Cleo.
‘Huh… Why….’
Agnes was sobbing inside, but tried not to show her emotions.
“Hah… I have no intention of cutting off your wrists.”
How could I cut off that precious wrist…
Even for members of the royal family, it was polite to use honorifics to show respect to knights.
However, Agnes had never once used an honorific to Cleo.
“…..”
Cleo looked up at her, his eyebrows furrowed. The look in his eyes was as if it was some kind of trick.
“First of all, please sit up.”
“……”
“Command… no see.”
It was only then that Cleo stood up after hearing those words. My heart ached at his attitude as if kneeling was nothing.
As he sat down on the sofa, Agnes quietly sat down across from him. Then he cautiously opened her mouth.
“yesterday… Because I drink too much….”
“… .”
Agnes’ eyes fell on his face. His cheeks were slightly swollen.
That wasn’t all. There were red marks on Cleo’s neck that looked like they had been scratched by her fingernails.
It was the wound she inflicted yesterday when she resisted wildly.
At that moment, our eyes met.
When Cleo realized that her eyes were on the scar on the back of her neck, he sneered.
“…You got hurt because of me.”
Agnes muttered softly.
Cleo stared at her quietly at the unfamiliar reaction. Her searching gaze silently swept down him from head to toe.
I couldn’t figure out why it was coming out like this. Cleo asked softly.
“Do i have to give up not just my wrist, but my life?”
Cleo knew full well how much the woman in front of him despised him.
A woman who, like a hyena, looks for an excuse to chase him away.
Princess Agnes didn’t even know that she wanted his life because of what happened yesterday.
Just something like that? It was absurd.
His jaw muscles clenched as he clenched his teeth in anger.
Agnes waved her hand.
“No, that’s not it… I just… My behavior yesterday was excessive, so I wanted to say I’m sorry….”
“……”
Are you saying you’re sorry?
Wow.
Cleo thought that the princess was using yesterday’s incident as an excuse to somehow kick him out of this order.
But it was inevitable.
No matter how he came into the Order, he couldn’t be kicked out just for something like that.
“I was wrong. I will discipline myself, so please do whatever you want.”
“……”
Agnes realized that no matter what she said, the conversation wasn’t working.
‘Wrong…This life is wrong… .’
It was a sad but normal reaction. Would it be considered sincere if a person whose personality was trash until yesterday apologizes overnight?
“Or would you be satisfied if I took off my clothes?”
At that time, Cleo asked in a low voice.
Taking off….your clothes??
gulp.
Agnes’ neck trembled.
Of course, that doesn’t mean it.
Anyone can ask whether you have to take off your knightly clothes… That meaning was clear.
But Agnes’ face turned bright red. As if someone had a sexual conversation.
“…….”
Cleo’s face crumpled as he realized the reason when he saw her blushing face.
What now… .
She never imagined that his thoughtless words would sound like a joke.
Cleo chewed her lip and tried to come up with an excuse for her. He couldn’t be kicked out of the knights like this.
“I mean…..”
“no! just…Let’s just pretend that nothing happened yesterday.”
“… Are you serious?”
“Okay, so I hope you can forget about yesterday.”
With those words, Agnes stood up. Her face and neck were still red.
Agnes left the director’s office as if running away.
“…Phew.”
Cleo, who was left alone, let out a long, low sigh.
The princess’s flushed face, as if she had just exchanged a sexual joke, came to mind again.
She was an unknown woman.
When has she insulted and slapped me in the face, and what kind of trick has she done this time?
He closed his eyes for a moment and then stood up.
It was time for him to get ready to leave for his mission. Cleo lazily put on the leather gloves placed on the desk.
His leather-gloved fingers went to the nape of his neck, where the stinging wound remained.
The surface of the leather was swept over the long, bright red scar.
Last night, the face of the woman who was clawing at his neck and hitting his cheek came back to his like an afterimage.
She is a woman who despises him and loves Raymond Spencer, whom he hates.
Princess Agnes was a woman who gave me unpleasant feelings just thinking about it.
However, the sight of her blushing, pretending to be innocent, at his meaningless words was unexpected.
He never thought she would be so naive.
***
Agnes, who returned to her princess’s palace, began to suffer from that day.
Her head was pounding.
She was at a loss as to what to do next. I wish it were just a dream, but no matter how much I slept, reality was the same.
While I was lying down like that for a few days.
The noble world was very upset.
It was because of Princess Agnes’s reckless behavior at her ball commemorating the end of the war.
The nobles’ anger was understandable.
It was natural for the princess, not anyone else, to be angry because she had dishonored her family and the soldiers who sacrificed their lives in the war.
In fact, the basic passive of the people of the empire was to respect and love the imperial family…
The position was that they couldn’t close thier eyes to the princess’s behavior, which was increasingly exceeding her limits.
Agnes, lying on the bed, tried to recall the story from the beginning of the original story.
‘In the original work, what did the emperor do to the princess…? Did he spend some time outside the capital?
Roughly speaking, it seems that the princess has not appeared in novel for a while.
After Agnes fell ill, I heard that there are rumors going around in social circles that the princess is so sick that she is on the brink of death.
Honestly, it’s not that bad…
‘It’s probably a rumor that the emperor created to protect the princess.’
Anyway, it allowed her to lock herself in her room for a few days to gather her thoughts.
The timing is the worst…Still, it is true that I was reincarnated into a world where my favorite character lives and breathes.
Her positive circuitry started spinning quickly.
It was only for a moment that she was saddened by her death.
She was a loner with no family anyway, so the only thing she had left to regret about her past life were her Twitter friends, the registered documents she couldn’t buy, and the goods she couldn’t buy.
But that’s what she is now. Now we can make physical goods?
Anyway, now that I have a new life and a position where I can be of help to my favorite…
I will definitely, absolutely, somehow, prevent my favorite’s death and lay a flowery path in front of her.
but…
If they found out that Princess Agnes, who praised the original male protagonist Raymond, suddenly became a Cleo fan, everyone would think she had lost her mind, right?
Cleo will also suspect her of being crazy.
If a woman who had been slapped three times in the face suddenly confessed that she liked him…?
Anyone could see that it was psycho.
‘You’ll be more surprised than anything else.’
I never wanted my very own kitten, Cleo, to be startled.
Approaching a poor kitten that has been abandoned all along requires a very careful process.
‘Because our Cleo is actually very soft-hearted and pure. He must never be surprised.’
It had to soak in slowly, like clothes getting wet in a light rain.
In order to do that, I have to hide this sorrowful heart for a while.
Besides, there is nothing good about revealing one’s original virtue. So, for the time being, it’s perfect…
Like a ‘Normal Person’.

I like the approach. Even if there are some cliches of isekai she twistes them: she won’t change suddenly how she is vs how agnes was and everyone mindlessly accept it,like they do ni question in other works,she has to battle without the benefit of regrowing as a kid,etc.
No*
This is making me nervous. She’s got very clear ideas of who he is, etc, and I can’t help feeling like he’s not gonna match her fanfiction image of him….. It’s also slightly giving secondhand embarrassment, but I hope that clears up soon as she starts making changes…. The translation is excellent, I truly think this story would be a mess if you weren’t so careful. Thanks for the translation!
