"How did you...!"
"Shhh, if we keep doing this we'll get caught."
Se-ah, who was smiling beautifully, released Jeong-guk and escaped the place with him.
"Hey!! That kid is running away!! Catch him!! "
I wanted to run away quietly, but I got caught. Se-ah held onto Jeong-guk's hand tightly and spoke.
"Run!"
The two ran through the dark, chilly forest. But as if to help them, the moonlight illuminated their path.
"Aren't you standing there?!!"
An arrow flew from behind. Jeongguk, sensing it, grabbed Se-ah and pulled her to deflect the arrow. The two fell to the ground, and were surrounded.
"These little rats, how dare they run away?!"
They approached Sea and Jeongguk with their weapons drawn, as if they were really angry.
"I'm sorry, but we have to go now."
Suddenly, a strong wind blew. A blue aurora engulfed Sea. As Sea smiled, Jungkook and Sea vanished from sight.
"Wh...what?! Where did you go?!!!"
.
.
.
.
Thud -
"Ugh, haa..."
In an instant, I moved from the forest to near Sea's house. However, due to my immature use of magic, I landed incorrectly and fell to the ground.
Jeongguk calmed his startled heart and looked at Se-ah.
"...Ugh, my head..."
"Kim Se-ah!! Are you okay?!"
"It's okay haha I still know how to use magic..."
Cool -
"...! Kim Se-ah!!!"
" uh...? "
Sea coughed. But it wasn't just a cough. Blood came out of her mouth. Sea's hands and clothes were soaked with blood.
And then Sea's eyes closed and she fell down.
"Oh, no..."
Jeongguk ran straight to Se-ah's mansion, and the knights guarding the main gate opened the gate quickly after seeing Se-ah and Jeongguk's condition.
.
.
.
.
"What is this..."
The startled attending physician rushed over to check on Sea's condition. Then the Grand Duke came in.
"What a commotion this late at night...!"
The Grand Duke's mouth fell open as he saw Sea lying on the bed. He couldn't help but panic at the sight of her pale face and the blood staining her mouth and clothes.
"Why on earth is this child in this condition?"
"Ah... Your Majesty... It's nothing else, Miss Sea's condition is not very good, as she must have overused her magical power..."
"What...? What on earth were you thinking, using magic power that you can't even use properly!"
"It's all my fault." Jungkook
"You..."
"Se-ah saved my life. She saved me from being trapped in a deserted forest, and that's how it ended up like this..."
"Your condition too..."
Jeon Jungkook's condition was also indescribable. His mouth was cracked, and his clothes were stained with blood and dirt. The Grand Duke couldn't help but be shocked once again at the sight of Jeongkook, his clothes torn and his body covered in visible wounds.
"Please make Sea better."
Jungkook felt guilty that Se-ah had become like that because of him. He felt like he was about to burst into tears.
"Okay, you get treatment, rest, and come back tomorrow."
That evening, Jungkook didn't know how to leave Se-ah's side even late at night.
" Sorry. "
Jeongguk made a very heartbroken expression and brushed Se-ah's hair away.
" ...ah.. "
Sea opened her eyes. She smiled at the sight of Jeongguk, who was lying half-asleep, lying down beside her.
"...! Se-ah, are you okay? Should I call the doctor?!"
"Haha, I'm fine. Are you okay?"
"I'm nothing compared to you... because of me, you..."
"Jungkook, was it your fault that you were kidnapped? Did you want it to happen?"
" that... "
"It's not your fault. So don't feel guilty. I saved you because I wanted to."
Jeongguk shed tears. He felt both grateful and sorry that the already fragile Se-ah had saved him.
Se-ah held Jeong-guk's hand tightly, and Jeong-guk held Se-ah's hand tightly as if he would never let go.
If I hadn't joined the Knights Templar, I would have been loyal to you for life.

"What does that mean...?"
"The Duke said he won't be able to go out for a while..."
"Why on earth?! What crime did Jungkook commit to be locked up in the public library?! Jungkook was the one who was kidnapped...!!"
"Miss, calm down... You're still not feeling well."
"No, Nanny. Get me ready to go out. I have to go to the Duke's house."
" yes?!! "
" hurry! "
.
.
.
.
"No way!"
"You dare... to disobey my words?!"
Sea was caught by the knights and unable to leave the entrance.
"What are you making a fuss about again;;"
"Brother! I said I was going out, but these guys are making me...!"
"You're going out? You're the type who hates going out and doesn't even step foot in the social world, so where are you going all of a sudden?"
"I'm going to see Jungkook!"
"Ha... How long are you going to act so immaturely;; How long will you continue to bring shame to your family..."
Sigh -
"Why are you saying things you don't mean? You want me to disappear from here as soon as possible. But you're telling me to grow up...? I'm not sure. I wonder if you can handle it... lol"" ...You now... what is that..."
Kim Namjoon's pupils began to shake.
"Just let me live like this^^"
Sea's expression disappeared from before and she returned to her usual self. Just innocent and thoughtless... something like that.
"...let me out."
Kim Namjoon gave orders to the knights, and Se-ah smiled with satisfaction as she rode in the carriage and headed to the duke's residence.
.

"Young-ae...? How did Young-ae Kim Se-ah come here?"
After dealing with the knights at home, the duke's knights blocked the way.
"Get out of the way. Jungkook is here to see you."
"No. Your Majesty..."
"I know, too. So get out of the way."
"This is difficult...!"
"Then I must meet the Duke. Then can I come in?"
" ...Okay, I understand."
Sea boldly entered the duke's house without saying a word.
"I meet Kim Se-ah, the young lady of the Karna family... Why has she come all the way here?"
The Duke's expression wasn't particularly good. He was seeing Youngae, a member of the Grand Duke's family and a man of considerable publicity, hanging out with his son, Jeong-guk.
"Jungkook is on probation, right? I can't believe it at all, so I'm walking like this haha"
"Haa... It's just a light punishment."
"Why are you being punished?"
"Because I was kidnapped so pathetically and caused harm to Young-ae."
"Well, isn't that your fault, Duke?"
" yes...;;? "
"Your Majesty should have taken thorough measures to prevent such a situation from occurring in the first place."
"What the hell is that..."
"Your Majesty, do you know that this is nonsense? Jungkook is only 17 years old. Honestly, you should know that Jungkook has far superior skills compared to others."
" ...But Youngae...! "
Sigh -
"Isn't that just an excuse? They're putting the innocent Jeong-guk on probation for fear of spreading strange rumors about the Duke's family... It's probably just to keep his mouth shut, lol."
The Duke's expression hardened. Then he thought. Was that young lady really like that? She's not the young lady I knew. She's not a daughter of the Karna family for nothing, he thought.
"Please release me from my confinement. If not, I will resort to force. I will hold you accountable for hurting me, Duke."
"...Okay...I understand. I'll let you off the leash."
Smile -
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Se-ah immediately turned her back and headed to Jeong-guk's room.
Suddenly -
"What the heck? Are you trying to escape?"
As I opened the door, I found Jeong-guk trying to jump out the window.
"...! Kim Se-ah?! "
"What would you do without me?"---
Here's a brief explanation.
The novel contains almost no information about Se-ah and Jung-guk. Se-ah, always seen as a reckless and hated character, is only portrayed that way in the novel. Se-ah was actually quite intelligent. However, her short temper often leads to unwanted incidents.
Se-ah wasn't stupid from the beginning ㅠㅠ Oh my~ My baby ㅠㅠ
I think about my family and the people around me. They take Seah for granted, but she's not that easy.
