Don’t Remember Me

he door opened.

“Hey, I told you not to come in…… Ouch! Your Highness, Your Highness!”

The man spoke in an irritating tone, looked back, and quickly breathed in.
It was Haven who opened the door and came in.
He looked down at the lying man and looked up.

A woman came into his sight.
The woman was tied to a chair and in a mess.
In the meantime, the moment he saw the woman beaten to the point where he couldn’t even recognize her original face, something hot went up in his heart.

It was anger.

Rather than repaying the benefactor who saved his daughter, it was natural to be angry because he made her go through this.
But a thought suddenly crossed his mind, wondering if that would be all.

After losing his memory, he became like this- cold and frosty.
Just as the emotion was lost with the memory.
It was unbelievable that he was originally friendly and soft.

Why does he feel this intense emotion at this moment?

Haven couldn’t understand his present feelings at all.
It was the same then.
Even when he saw this woman on the street, hee couldn’t get her out of his head for a long time.

Stomping.

Haven approached slowly, looking at the woman tied to the chair with a calm expression on the outside despite his complicated mind.
She also looked up at him.

His heart throbbed with the sight of her bloody face.
The bloodstains flowing down the sides of her mouth almost caused him to be mad without realizing it.
He approached the woman and opened his mouth, suppressing his incomprehensible feelings.

“Did you save my daughter?”

“……Oh, no, Pri…… How about the princess? Is she all right?”

Instead of answering Haven’s question, Rosé hurriedly asked if Flitta was okay.
Her green eyes were full of concern for the child.
In fact, she was in such a tough situation without being recognized for saving her child.
There seemed to be no resentment against anyone.

Isn’t she a silly woman?

Haven felt like he was about to laugh.
But he nodded calmly.

” She is okay because you saved my child quickly.
She is sleeping comfortably right now.”

Haven told her about Flitta’s condition and thought it was strange to see him like that.
She doesn’t know if what he was doing was all right, but he didn’t have to tell her in detail that the child was sleeping comfortably.

“It’s all… I’m glad, really.”

Tears flowed down from Rosé’s eyes when she heard his answer.
It was tears of joy and relief, not tears of sorrow.
She smiled brightly in tears.
Like someone who completely forgot about her messed-up self.

But it wasn’t bad.
She also thought that it was not a bad thing for him to answer unnecessarily long.

“Ahem…”

Haven coughed awkwardly and frowned when he saw that she was still tied.
Then he ordered the man who was still lying down.

“Let the woman go.”

“Bu, but this woman broke into the Royal Cemetery..….”

The man raised his head and rolled his eyes.
But without listening to him, Haven turned his head and ordered the escort who followed him.

“Let the woman go, Pedwin.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Pedwin quickly strode and loosened the rope that was tying Rosé’s body.
The man, who was watching the scene blinked his eyes, belatedly recalled the name he had received from a man on the Durklen Street, and raised himself up thinking it was a disaster.

“You must interrogate more, Your Highness! We have to find out who ordered the princess to be harmed and who is behind it.”

“She saved my daughter.
She didn’t mean to hurt my child.”

Haven looked back at the man.
The sharp and cold gaze scared the man unconsciously.
At the same time, he plucked up the courage and brought it up again.

“Well, but.… Even so, her status is uncertain and lowly…….”

“My daughter’s nanny.”

“… What?”

Haven’s remark made the man look absurd.
Pedwin looked at the Grand Duke with a similar expression.
Rosé was no different.
She looked up at Haven while sitting on the chair, wondering if she had heard something wrong.

“I’ll hire you as my daughter’s maid.”

“……!”

“Of course, I can’t help it if you don’t like it.”

“Oh, no! No! I like it!”

Rosé shouted loudly, forgetting her tired physical condition due to the hard interrogation.
The corner of Haven’s mouth went up very slightly.

“Well, then, I’ll take the woman.”

He turned around.
And Pedwin quickly helped her.
Rosé stumbled out of the interrogation room after Haven.

She saw the back of a man walking in a straight and upright position.
He looked so different from a drowning mouse, no, a messier figure than her.

‘I wanted to see you in a neat way.’

Rosé closed her lips with a bitter smile.
She doesn’t regret it though.
Because she saved the child safely.
Besides, she got a dreamy opportunity to stay near her child.

…… She doesn’t know how long that time will be.

She blinked and smiled vaguely.
Then, she spoke quietly to the man walking ahead.

‘Thank you, Haven.
Thank you very much.’

(TN: I am just sad…  that’s all…)
