I stepped out of the house to find Zero standing right by the door.

“Are you certain about this?” she asked.

“You’re just copying the geezer!” I barked. “Certain about what? I didn’t have any reason to kill him. Besides…” I touched Theo’s knife. I wondered if she would laugh if I told her.

“Besides?” Zero urged.

“Promise me you won’t laugh.”

“I swear to God, I will not laugh.”

How was I supposed to believe a witch’s words sworn in the name of God? I didn’t really mind if she laughed, though.

“It felt like Theo was there watching,” I said. “I, uhh… didn’t want to kill a defenseless old man in front of him, you know.”

Zero chuckled.

“You fucking laughed! I know, it sounds silly! A bloodthirsty mercenary like me talking nonsense!”

“No, you misunderstand,” Zero said. “I was simply reminded of why I like you.”

“Okay, you’re just making fun of me now!”

“Why can you not take my word as it is? When I say I like you, there is no other meaning behind it. If I do not like something, I say so. Or do you think that I am a tender-hearted witch?”

“Not in the least,” I said flatly.

“You could have hesitated a little. I am somewhat kindhearted, if I do say so myself. Far more so than Thirteenth or any other witch.”

I looked around. “So where’s the princess?”

Zero gestured with her chin to the back of the house. “She is at the back, crying like a child.”

Weaving through the knee-high grass, we made our way around the lake to the back of the house. Raul turned around. He was the only one who noticed us.

His expression was calm. He seemed to have already guessed that I didn’t kill Argentum.

“Princess.” Raul said, placing his hand on her shoulder.

Hiding her face from us, Amnil rubbed her eyes. She then washed her face in the lake and stood up. “So, how did it go?” she asked.

Despite her arrogant tone, her face was haggard. I wanted to mess with her by saying I killed the old man, but I immediately lost interest.

“I don’t kill for free,” I said.

“And I avoid killing as much as possible,” Zero added. “It is too bothersome.”

The princess blinked a few times. The next moment, tears streamed down her eyes.

“Of course you didn’t kill him! You had no reason to. If you killed Master, I would never have forgiven you. You’re lucky.”

Her words would’ve had more impact if she said them in her usual cold voice, but there was no trace of the ironhearted princess when she was bawling out like this.

Raul stroked the princess’s hair, but she brushed his hand away.

“How many times do I have to tell you to stop treating me like a child?!” she bellowed. “Let’s head back. We have some preparations to do for the festival. I have a duty to slay the dragon.”
