“Thank you for today, Lady Popo. We will make sure the dress is beautifully made and sent to you.”

“Thank you as well.”

After sending off the fashion designers called by Helios, Sera quickly closed the door.

‘It’s not just my imagination.’

Someone had been watching her again from across the way, and it had been going on for several days.

Even when she was out for academy work, she felt eyes following her.

‘I’m anxious. It feels like someone is constantly watching me. Could it be paparazzi again…?’

Sera parted the curtains and cautiously looked outside. Contrary to her suspicions, there was no one there.

With an uneasy feeling, Sera walked around the house, locking every door and leaving just one window open. As she was busy securing it, her hands suddenly stopped moving.

“That way…”

“I feel…”

Voices of a man and a woman murmured outside the window.

The voices were too faint to make out the conversation, but she could recognize the man’s voice. It sounded familiar.

‘Surely not… but it couldn’t be…’

As if resolved, Sera flung the curtains wide open.

“Oh my goodness.”

Sera’s mouth fell open at the sight before her.

A man and a woman were struggling, holding each other’s arms. They were all faces she recognized.

“Sir Knight and… Miss Mage?”

“Uh… Lady Sera?”

“Haha…”

As Sera stammered with wide eyes, Jean and Araella faced her with awkward expressions.

Sera, who had flung open the window, shouted with a dumbfounded look.

“What are you doing here!”

“We will explain everything. Lady Popo.”

Releasing Araella’s arm, Jean sighed deeply and lowered his head.

After hearing the whole story, Sera’s gaze narrowed with suspicion.

Jean and Araella sat opposite her, sweating as if they were being interrogated.

“So, His Majesty assigned you two, no, several people to me?”

“Yes.”

“That’s right, Lady Sera.”

“And right after returning from the villa?”

“Yes, Lady Popo.”

“Correct, Lady Sera.”

Araella and Jean hurriedly answered every question Sera asked, as if they were anxious.

Sera was slightly surprised by their behavior but nodded without showing it.

“Well, I understand. Considering what happened at the villa, it makes sense for such an order to be given.”

“His Majesty was worried that you might feel uncomfortable, so he ordered secret protection.”

“Yes…”

It was a fairly reasonable story.

The snake they encountered at the villa left no ordinary spell, and it had crossed numerous barriers to launch an inexplicable attack, so it made sense to have protection.

She was a bit disappointed that it was kept a secret from her, but the excuse that they didn’t tell her to avoid making her worry didn’t sound too far-fetched.

However, something still nagged at her mind.

It had been quite a while since the incident at the imperial villa, so why had they been secretly guarding her well until now, only to be discovered by her at this moment?

There was definitely something she was missing here.

Sera, looking at Jean, turned her head slightly to look at Araella.

“Do… Do you have any questions for me, Lady Popo!”

Araella flinched and straightened up.

Her typical posture when lying made Sera’s gaze narrow even more.

The sudden clumsy protection was full of suspicious points.

“Miss Mage, did you… join just a few days ago?”

“How did you know?”

Araella was startled and quickly covered her mouth, but it was too late to take back what had been said.

“We must ensure everything is ready for the eve of the festival.”

At Helios’s words, Raphael nodded firmly, his mouth set in a determined line. He understood Helios’s concerns, as he too was filled with anxiety every moment.

The decision to proceed with the national celebration, despite the risk of causing more chaos and spreading rumors without a solid reason, was not taken lightly. There were numerous concerns.

“As you instructed, I’ve strengthened the security and summoned priests capable of using divine power to counter any curses.”

“Let’s hope the priests won’t have to do so.”

Helios and Raphael exchanged worried glances.

Until they found who the demon had possessed and its purpose, this uneasy state would continue.

It was then that a knock broke the silence from outside.

After glancing at the clock on the wall, Helios checked the time for the visitor and then gestured for Raphael to leave.

“Lady Sera?”

“Yes.”

Raphael looked at Helios with concern in his eyes.

Soon after, the door opened, and Sera entered. Helios, unlike his earlier heavy conversation, greeted her with a pleased expression.

“I’ve been waiting for you.”
