Capitulo 55

Episode 55

I quickly looked around. People seemed preoccupied with running or hiding and dealing with other wolves.

I’ll get bitten by that.

The wolf leader walked calmly towards Tatiana . For some reason, Tatiana couldn’t move and was shaking.

I took a deep breath and raised the gun.

From my side I could see Tatiana’s back and the front of the wolf.

I held my breath waiting for the wolf to appear in my sights.

blast!

As soon as I stepped in, I pulled the trigger.

Wouuuuuuuuh.

There was a long wolf howl and blood splattered.

I don’t know where I hit it, but for the first time, Tatiana gained time to escape.

I quickly hid behind a rock.

My heart was beating as fast as it was going to burst.

«Ja, he’ll be fine.»

The pack leader is injured, so the other wolves will retreat.

Some people will call for help, so someone will come to help soon.

I grabbed my gun and stuck my head out to look around.

I could see the knights running away.

I got up to go down.

Smell of blood?

An unfamiliar smell wafted out.

I turned to see a wolf with a spot of blood in one eye looking back at me.

I was sure I did it right, but both eyes looked normal.

I backed away slowly.

Just wait a little longer and people will come here.

I tried not to provoke the wolf by yelling.

He looked him straight in the eyes and held on through gritted teeth.

«Why aren’t they coming?»

It suddenly occurred to me that they could have left me.

To them, I’m just an extra in this world.

Since I saved Tatiana, I could have left things like me without even thinking about it.

Because it wasn’t the first time something like this happened.

«This is not the time to wait for someone’s help.»

Remembering that moment, my fighting spirit simmered.

I gave strength to the hand that held the gun.

Something to get back without hurting myself.

«The moment I’m about to fire, I’ll run away.»

I wasn’t an experienced knight and I didn’t look like I could move faster than a wolf.

However, it was impossible to keep procrastinating.

I held my breath and quickly pointed the gun in the direction the wolf was facing.

This.

It jumped and cast a shadow over my body.

Reflexively I raised my gun and blocked the huge front paws swinging at me.

«It’s heavy.»

But it wasn’t enough to hold. I was pushed backwards and fell to the ground.

The moment I was going to die like this.

Bang, bang!

Two shots rang out.

When I opened my eyes tightly shut, the wolf, who had just felt its piercing eyes, was far away.

The feeling of relief that I was alive was so exhausting that I had no energy to move.

Princess!

Surprisingly, it was Helen who ran first.

Helen…?

Are you all right? Oh, my God, what the hell is she doing? Oh my God, what the hell is she thinking shooting a gun and hiding you in there?

She looked a little angry.

I saw Helen staring all over me.

Karina!

It was Aster who ran.

He, who hadn’t lost his composure, sat next to me with a pale face.

He touched my cheek and hair with trembling hands and let out a long sigh.

Don’t ever do anything rash like this again.

I’m sorry. I’m sorry.

Aster grabbed my hand and pulled me to my feet.

The wolf’s front paws hit me before, so my legs went slack and I collapsed again.

Aster took off the jacket I was wearing, covered me and hugged me.

Aww…

I won’t let you go.

Helen and I were on a slightly higher level than Tatiana and the others.

Then I caught a glimpse of people’s expressions as I hid in Aster’s arms.

The woman who came out to rescue Tatiana, who had been known to have a bad relationship for a long time.

A look of shame for many people. Some could not lift their heads from remorse.

Above all, Tatiana’s expression was a sight to behold.

«Are you angry, or is she surprised?»

It was as if the stage had been taken away from her.

Anyway, it was almost impossible to understand Tatiana’s head.

I looked away from her and rested my head lightly on Aster’s shoulder.

I felt like I was shaking and startled.

Thank you for coming.

Say thank you very much. Because when I come back, I’m going to punish you a lot.

A smile involuntarily seeped out at the slightly muffled voice.

Aster continued speaking with slight annoyance.

This is not the time to laugh like that. The duke and the tower mistress are also waiting for you.

Ah, I didn’t think of that.

A headache came on suddenly.

Aster left me in bed in a separate tent.

My mother was so angry that her face had turned red as if she was about to explode.

I quickly grabbed Aster’s hem.

I had some work to do. If you get scolded for a while, you’ll be back a little later.

With a light pat on the cheek, she said goodbye to my father and left.

When there was no one to protect me, I bent down and looked into my mother’s eyes.

Who went and did something so dangerous for so long!

I didn’t do it on purpose…

Then you’re usually doing dangerous things on purpose!

My mother’s scolding began in earnest.

She screamed as if fire was coming out of her mouth, telling me that I had to put a danger detector on her leg.

I turned my head slightly to send my father a call for help, but to no avail.

Don’t look at me with those eyes. I have the same thoughts as your mother on this matter.

Traitor.

Who is a traitor!

In response to my mother’s disobedience, I straightened my posture.

Phew.

What’s wrong, where are you hurt?

Startled, my mother immediately started looking all over my body. I fell and hit my back, so I was in pain.

I let go of my father and took off my shirt, and heard my mother’s long sigh behind me.

Oh my God, not even a rock will cure it. I need to call a doctor.

My eyes widened at the doctor’s word.

Because of the injuries to my back, he will try to find a doctor who is not the Duke’s primary care physician.

So there was a doctor not far away!

Besides Tatiana. It will be hard to refuse our request because I was injured while trying to save her.

There is a doctor with the Grand Duchess.

There is?

Yes. Please tell her to take a look.

That family will really help you.

My mother snorted as if it was unreasonable.

Will it be different this time? I got hurt while rescuing Tatiana…

Are you stupid?

Oh I worded it wrong

My mother looked at me with terrified eyes.

I heard a long sigh as she gently covered my face with a blanket.

I’ll see you after you get better.

Yes…

I nodded silently.

Please, in the meantime, I had no choice but to pray that my mother would forget about this.

* * *

Tatiana sat in the Grand Duke’s tent and bit her lip.

She couldn’t hear anyone around her asking if she was all right.

«Why did you help me?»

It was a life or death moment.

The first time, Tatiana thought she might die.

No one seemed to help her, and she was convinced she was going to die from a horrible wolf bite like this.

But, no one else, Karina helped her.

She clearly had other plans.

Otherwise, there was no way she would risk her life to save herself.

Perhaps, this is also revenge for the past.

She is trying to take her place.

The figure of Karina in the arms of the emperor coming down from the hill looked like a torch.

Those things were originally allowed to Tatiana.

Ever since Niveia, she must have been trying to usurp her position as mistress of this world.

Tati, are you all right?

Wilhelm entered cautiously with a worried look on his face.

Tatiana sighed in relief and nodded her head.

«Yes, Will was still on my side.»

Tati! Are you hurt anywhere?

Raymond, who came in with the tent door open, quickly knelt at her feet and sat down.

He said it was going to be a disaster.

Ray, thank you for being here. I’m fine.

Raymond and Wilhelm, Tatiana peeked through the door.

Someone hadn’t arrived yet.

Then, smartly, someone came in with a bang.

Tatiana thought, of course, it was Daniel.

It was because Daniel was the person who valued the most aristocratic manners among the three of them.

But the person who entered was not the person she had been expecting.

It was the maid who was chasing Karina.

She bowed to greet Tatiana with a cold face.
