Anger Control Disorder, Impulse Disorder, Murder Charges. Three words popped into Raphine's mind.

Anna ran to Raphine at a crazy speed. In her eyes, hatred and livelihood were etched.

Raphine's body hardened without realizing it because her eyes were like beasts.

And that moment.

'no!'

Before Raphine could do anything, Caitlyn hugged her protectively.

He wouldn't die, but it was clear that Caitlyn would be seriously injured if this continued.

Raphine wrapped her arms around her and closed her eyes tightly for fear that Caitlyn might get hurt.

'Ruby! Orphana!'

She summoned the spirits from within, but some came out before the spirits could even step out.

"Damn!"

'... What?'

At the same time as a loud scream was heard, Raphine slowly opened her eyes.

He thought it was Caitlyn's scream, but before her eyes was Anna lying on the floor.

And someone was pointing a sword at her Anna's neck.

'Uh, Mom...'

It was Sophia.

She was holding the sword that had been snatched by the Imperial Knight, and was holding the blade around the neck of the fallen Anna.

It was Sophia who just flew at the speed of light and kicked Anna.

Raphine looked at her mother with her surprised face. The gesture of holding her sword was that of a skilled knight.

no...

'Uh, Mom... Was it a knight?'

Astonished and stunned, I saw Sir Ethan, the Empress, and the Knights with shocked faces behind her mother's back.

After her mother shoved her fallen Anna down on her feet, she skillfully pulled her wrists behind her and tied them up.

It was like a veteran homicide detective who had been rolling here for 30 years.

The knights, who had been standing idly, then dragged Anna, who was bound, to the prison.

The Empress, who was watching this, clenched her fists and trembled, then approached Ethan.

puck!

It happened in an instant. The Empress slapped her youngest brother on the cheek with her fist, and said harshly.

"You two almost got hurt because of your stupidity! Would you still be able to say that you would take an attempted murderer as your wife?"

Ethan kept his head down and didn't say anything, just staring at the ground.

He seemed very confused. Indeed, it will. The ugly identity of the person who even thought about getting married was exposed.

"Raphine, are you okay?"

Sophia hugged Raphine, who was surprised, and patted her on the back. Caitlyn, who was sitting next to her, smiled.

"I'm glad the child wasn't hurt."

"Thank you so much, Miss Caitlyn."

"You're welcome."

Raphine was still stunned.

The fact that her Anna, a woman who suddenly rushed in madly, that Caitlyn, whom she had only met twice, wrapped herself in her, and that her mother was actually incredibly skilled in martial arts.

'Go, I feel very dizzy all of a sudden.'

Raphine looked like her eyes were spinning. She seemed more surprised than she felt herself.

「Baby?」

「master! no! You must not die!」

「Don't speak in denial, you bastard!」So Raphine let go of her dark look.

* * *

When she opened her eyes, it was late the next morning.

crocodile.

Raphine's eyes widened at the sound of the ship's roar.

'I'm hungry.'

She has been starving for the past six years, but has not been hungry since she recently visited her family.

Since I collapsed yesterday, I slept deeply the whole time, so the fasting time was lengthy.

Raphine got her body up and felt a cold sweat and nervousness. It was a symptom of being hungry.

「Baby, are you okay?」

「master! The master has woken up!」

'for a moment. Please be quiet.'

Because I'm sensitive when I'm hungry.

Raphine got out of bed and rang the bell on the small table.

As soon as the bell rang, the door opened and several people poured in.

"Raphine!"

"You are awake at last!"

It was her family.

Raphine saw her mother, her father, and her brothers rush in, and she was a little perplexed.

All of them had a look of concern on their faces. Even the naughty twins.

"Ah, Raphine..."

The Duke of Aston came straight up and grabbed Raphine in his arms and began to sniff.

Everyone seemed to think that Rafine would have been very surprised because he had suffered a lot.

Because it may be traumatic.

However, it seemed that it was her family, not Raphine, who was rather surprised and traumatized. Because her daughter, whom she barely recovered, was about to be in trouble.

But Raphine...

lol lol.

'I'm going to die of hunger.'

At first, I was just hungry.

"My stomach... Hungry."

With those words barely whispered in the Duke's arms, Raphine was taken to her immediate dining room.

Then she ate a special course meal prepared by the chefs and quickly regained her energy.

As she ate even dessert, Raphine glanced at her family around her.

'It's great to have a caring family.'

Her chest was pounding, and a warm feeling spread out.

In addition, she worried about her family and heard her apologetics and responsibility.

I wanted to protect the people who genuinely care and love me because of my family.

* * *

'by the way... Isn't this a bit excessive?'

After that day, a huge overprotection began.

"Lady, you can never walk the stairs yourself."

Seeing Sir Rendell babbling, Raphine blinked her eyes blankly.

Those six... 6 years old?

Recently, Raphine was so confused that she was a two-year-old baby.

Of course, Raphine often behaves rudely out of her childish instincts, but...

She usually said that when she was about 6 years old, she was able to converse with adults without difficulty and could even run errands. She said yes, but she's still a little kid...

However, in the eyes of her family and other users, Raphine seemed to have degenerated into her 2-year-old baby.

She also said she almost got hurt by a strange woman herself, didn't she almost fall down the stairs?

"..."

Reporter Raphine spilled her eyes, Rendell coughed heavily. She seemed to know that she was exaggerating, even when she thought about it.

"sorry. miss."

Let's do it in moderation...

Raphine spoke with her eyes and scrambled down her stairs alone.

She wasn't the only Rendel. Sylane also began to be unusually overprotective of Raphine, and her family was even worse.

In particular, her father even shouted to prevent Raphine from going to her imperial castle again.

'That's never going to happen.'

Zerkan is busy, and she can't come out of the Imperial Palace often. In that case, it would be best for her to find her directly from this side.

But you mean blocking the entrance to the Hwangseong? It was never going to happen.

But fortunately, a few days later, an invitation to Sophia and Raphine came from the Imperial Palace.

She was an invitation from the Empress.

Seeing the invitation, Duke Aston said, 'Wow...' he made a noise and thought as he shook her head.

"I'm worried, but... Still, if you have a honey, you'll be fine. That sinner named Anna is also being detained and being tried."

At that, Raphine said, "Ah!" He glanced at her mother and glanced at her.

Come to think of it...

Raphine asked with hesitation.

"By the way, was her mother a knight? It was then that her mother saved me. She is as cool as a knight!"

At those words, Duke Aston's expression brightened. He spread his chest out and said with a look of worldly pride.

"It is. Your mother was the commander of the 1st Guards in charge of security in the capital and was a wonderful investigator."

"..."

Water Guard? Besides, she was the commander of the 1st Guard? Investigator?

I don't know their system, but if it was the 1st Guards, and that was also the leader, it was definitely a high position. Raphine looked at her mother in surprise.

She has such a gentle and friendly appearance, but she was the commander of the guard... It was very surprising.

'It was only natural that I felt the time between being a detective in the powerful class.'

Come to think of it, every time I hugged Rafine, it was unusual for me to lift it up with one hand.

"I'll tell you more about this later when I grow up, but... Actually that's it. I met your mother while Sophia was working hard. She caught the pickpocket who stole my money. Then I fell in love at first sight..."

"Oh, honey, there is nothing you can't say to the baby. Raphine is a newborn baby!"

"Oh. Yes."

"...?"

Eh? Raphine looked bewildered, taking turns looking at her mother and father. Then I looked around him to see if there was another Raphine.

Of course, no one was around.

no, mother. father. Who the hell is a newborn baby? ?

After this incident, she thought her family had become overprotective, but her mom and dad would see her as a newborn baby.

For some reason, her heart was pounding. Her self-esteem was shattered.

"I am not a newborn baby! From today on, I will sleep alone in my room again!"

As Raphine shouted stubbornly, her mom and dad rolled their eyes as if in great shock.

With such a determined will, Raphine was able to sleep alone again from today.

Her pride is also her pride, but she had a reason to sleep alone.

It was because there was something that had to be resolved quickly without procrastinating.

That night.

Raphine lay on her bed, pretending to sleep, and as soon as her mom and dad left, she slowly got up.

Finally, the time has come.

「Huhu... Huhuhu....」

Terrible but... I had to make a pact with that gloomy spirit.
