Chapter 4 (1/2)

Chapter 4

Diana blinked her eyes as she held the hem of her skirt. Even if she doesn’t care, she can’t help but be hurt by their rant.

She had nothing more to listen and see. Thinking of ignoring it, Diana turned her head back to DeHeen.

‘……. No!’

However, DeHeen’s seat was empty. In a hurry, Diana looked for DeHeen and found him just leaving the back door. After instinctively realizing that this is an opportunity, Diana jumped up from her seat.

Sarah grabbed Diana’s arm as she tried to run away.

“You think I’m funny now? Where are you going when you’re talking to me?”

“Hahaha……”

Suddenly, Diana groaned quietly, surprised by the pressure she felt in her arm. Then the new girl who was managing the other candidates returned.

Sarah quickly released her arm from holding Diana and asked her not to make a fuss.

“What’s wrong? What’s going on?”

“Well… Diana suddenly got up. I told her to sit down.”

At Sarah’s excuse, the priestess looked Diana with a terrifying expression.

“Diana, explain why it happened.”

Diana, who was in a hurry, looked around and feelt nervous.

“I’m going out to pick up a chair.”

“If it’s a chair, Sarah, I ordered you, right?”

“I was going to go, but Diana insisted she was going!”

“Hmm, Diana. Don’t be so loud and go fast.”

“Yes, miss.”

Sarah grunted behind the priestess as she sticked out her tongue to Diana. Diana walked out of the venue without showing her face.

Now, it didn’t matter if she could chase the Grand Duke, but DeHeen was not seen in the hallway.

After getting out of the temple, she walked along the main road and looked around. However, it is impossible to find him who disappeared from the crowd of people who gathered to celebrate the festival.

“It’s all wrong.”

Diana walked furiously, unable to hide her disappointment.

The moment she thought she had to go back like this, the entrance of the garden appeared in front of her when she took the wrong way. It was a garden with few people coming.

The garden was not managed by the temple, so she stepped into garden full of weeds. Diana’s eyes widened as she clutches a bunch of straws.

‘Hyuk.’

DeHeen was seen from far away. She doesn’t why he was here, but he was alone with only guards. There was no one else because this is a remote area.

It was an opportunity that Diana would never have again. Diana quickly grabbed the knife she had brought. Concealed in her fluffy sleeves, there was no apparent appearance at all.

She sweats and her palms were damp as she was nervous. She quickly wiped her hands on her clothes and made up her mind.

“Grand Duke!”

Diana, who had made her decision, called out loud. Fortunately, DeHeen stopped to see if he heard a voice.

Diana did not miss the chance and quickly tried to walk to DeHeen. But she couldn’t get close. DeHeen’s escorts completely intercepted between him and Diana.

Diana, who was small, was quickly overshadowed by them. Diana became nervous when she couldn’t see DeHeen on her sight.

She couldn’t miss an opportunity like this. As her heart became impatient, she forgot the scary things and cried out loud as if she was possessed by an evil.

“I have something to tell you! Wait, it only takes a minute.”

Diana’s earnestness must have been reached. DeHeen, who was taller than others, was seen by Diana through the escorts.

‘I’m scared.’

Diana swallowed. The moment his cold gaze turned to her; a sense of fear came unexpectedly.

She felt her heart pierced with cold eyes. It was a pressure that she has never felt before.

The two eyes, which made her walk backwards on their own, clearly stared at Diana and narrowed the distance. She felt chills from head to toe, so her hands were more tense.

DeHeen was approaching Diana as if he was looking for a prey. He intentionally pressured the girl who interrupted his break.

‘Ho, butter?’

t/n : idk why its butter lmao

However, Diana, who refused to budge, made DeHeen’s one eyebrow to slip upward. He immediately thought that she would run away, but it was fun to see her holding on to her shaking lips.

He wondered what made the little girl so desperate.

“Open the way.”

When DeHeen ordered, the guards set the way. DeHeen opened his eyes fiercely and stared through Diana. She seems like a tree branch, a young child who seems to fall right away.

Of course, he thought Diana couldn’t take it, but she wanted to test how hard she could endure.

‘I’m scared.’

In fact, Diana almost sat down and her legs trembled as soon as DeHeen’s eyes met her. It was a natural reaction from the body. Still, she abandoned it.

This is nothing compared to what she has been through. Diana forced her stiff feet to move as if they were rooted on the ground.

She had to get a little closer in order to hurt him.

“Looking at your clothes, you look like a saint candidate. What’s the matter with me?”

Diana flinched at DeHeen’s low voice. The voice clearly drew a line saying, stop coming. However, it was still far from the knife to reach.

“Can I get closer?”

“Okay.”

Fortunately, DeHeen allowed Diana’s access. Not only DeHeen but also many people were looking at Diana.

In the tremor of walking on thin ice, Diana walked casually, Finally, it’s only two steps.

‘This is enough.’

She didn’t mean to hurt DeHeen too much. The goal was to make a small cut anywhere in the leg. It was enough to stimulate DeHeen.

If you dare to attack Grand Duke, it’s not strange to be killed on the spot. Diana took a breath and looked up at him.
