When I opened my closed eyes

Sana grew up under the tutelage of her father, a top weapons smith in the Silan region. Thanks to his exceptional background, he was able to send Sana to a top private school.

엑스트라

Wow, you're really pretty... Are you Minatozaki-san's daughter?

엑스트라

There's a family in Via that's closely related to ours, and I hear the Minatozaki Weapon is famous there too...

엑스트라

I'm jealous!

Everyone loved Sana. She came from a family famous enough to be recognized by the royal family, had a wealthy father who was obsessed with his daughter, and had a pretty face.

Sana could have just stayed still.

Come over to my house next time. Let's have tea time.

The only thing that was lacking was the slightly awkward pronunciation of the official language, but since there were children who praised it, it wasn't a big problem.

Until she was fourteen, Sana had no problem living the way she wanted to live.

Until I met that Park Jimin when I was fourteen.

???

...for.

As I walked along the shortcut home as usual, I smelled a strong smell of iron and floral perfume from somewhere.

Sana, who usually disliked strong scents, pinched her nose.

Who in the alley,

A small boy, seemingly around the same age, holding a hammer in his hand. And...

A black-haired man in a disheveled school uniform, lying down and bleeding.

Sana usually knew how to act in situations like this. She held her breath quietly and slipped away again. Other people's business was none of her business.

But Sana couldn't move even one foot.

We made eye contact.

... Mr.

A red aura spread behind them, and the wall collapsed. The escape route was blocked, and soon the child staggered toward Sana.

미나토자키 사나 image

미나토자키 사나

The road is completely blocked. Damn it...

어린 박지민 image

어린 박지민

... who is this.

Sana took a step back as Park Jimin lifted the hammer, then focused on the hammer in his hand.

A cherry blossom-shaped engraving belonging to the Minatozaki family.

미나토자키 사나 image

...the family that made weapons. I don't know what's going on, but let me out right now.

Park Jimin chuckled and grabbed Sana's wrist. His arm tightened, pressing hard against her flesh.

어린 박지민

Minatozaki Sana. I wish you could help me.

미나토자키 사나 image

미나토자키 사나

... what do you mean?

Sana glanced at Jimin's body, keeping an eye on his expression. His skin was pale, as if he'd been trapped, and despite his thick clothes, he couldn't hide the bruises protruding from his chest.

Are you being abused? But the person attacking you right now... is a student. Sana's head is spinning.

미나토자키 사나 image

미나토자키 사나

I'm a student at St. Herrera Private School. If you try to harm me, the school will destroy your family.

어린 박지민 image

어린 박지민

I don't have a home.

Park Jimin leaned against the wall, breathing heavily.

어린 박지민 image

어린 박지민

There's someone I need to help. A cursed child.

미나토자키 사나 image

미나토자키 사나

Cursed child...?

Sana instinctively thought of Yeoju Lee. It might be understandable if our family, with its close ties to the royal family, were concerned about Yeoju Lee, but could a student like this even be concerned about her?

Park Jimin nodded slowly.

미나토자키 사나 image

미나토자키 사나

...Okay. Well, I know him, so I'll help.

That was the beginning. Sana regretted giving that answer that day.

The cursed child was not Lee Yeo-ju, but Han Ye-hwa, and not only was she not cursed, she seemed happy.

However, Park Jimin censored her daily and obsessed over her. No one at Lilietti Private School could approach Han Yehwa.

It's not that Han Ye-hwa hates people, but that Park Ji-min hates people who approach Han Ye-hwa.

Hey George. You want to get spanked? You're crawling up there, annoying me.

...Why is it my fault that Park Jimin likes Han Yehwa!

아체스타 힐리아 image

아체스타 힐리아

Don't talk back! Do you want to die? Huh?

Park Jimin was extremely indifferent to violence happening right next to him, unless it involved Han Ye-hwa. Sana was furious at his behavior.

Every single day, they take away all the weapons I have...

But it was at a level that could be ignored and passed over.

The incident occurred when the mother went on a business trip to the edge of Silen to repair the steam engine that connected the center of Via and the center of Silen.

That year, Sana was fifteen.

미나토자키 공작

Sana, are you ready to surprise your mom?

미나토자키 사나 image

미나토자키 사나

huh!

미나토자키 공작

Dad will be waiting outside with the cake, so when you're done, come out with Mom~

Mrs. Minatozaki's main job was to tear down the wall of a Marquis' house that was connected to the road, repair the pipes, and then reconnect the wall.

After her mother's work was over, Sana went with her father to the southernmost tip of Silan, intending to surprise her and take her to a nearby botanical garden.

When Sana poked her head in,

???

Is this woman crazy? I said I won't tear it off!

미나토자키 사나 image

미나토자키 사나

... jimin park?

The Marquis holding his mother's hair.

And Park Jimin, sitting on the sofa doing nothing.

Sana screamed and slapped away the hand that was holding her mother.

Wow, I'm going crazy. What kind of tangled web of characters are these in a fantasy novel? Are they all hateful relationships?

After inflicting great internal injuries on Ameri, I was lying on the bed in Sana's room recovering, and I heard Sana's entire confession.

To be honest, if it's to that extent, I admit that I should curse at Park Jimin every time I see him. Why on earth did that kid live like that? What's so important about Han Ye-hwa?!

미나토자키 사나 image

미나토자키 사나

There was something like that...

한예화 image

Hey, that bird. No, why is Park Jimin's personality so twisted? I can't understand.

미나토자키 사나 image

미나토자키 사나

I don't know either.

한예화 image

한예화

So you tried to betray me?

It was a comment made casually while looking at her fingernails, but Sana suddenly got up and got angry.

But it's cute. Oh, if someone gets angry and does this, it'll be a bit annoying, right?

미나토자키 사나 image

미나토자키 사나

Hey! What are you talking about? I didn't betray you! I don't hold any grudge against you!

한예화 image

한예화

Oh my... Oh no, oh. Right. That's it.

한예화 image

한예화

Okay, okay, I'm sorry, calm down. Okay? Let's calm down.

I tried my best to calm Sana down by making nonchalant hand gestures. Fortunately, Sana quickly regained her composure and sat down next to the bed again.

Sana turns her head sharply as wrinkles form on the white bed.

But you said earlier that Georgian betrayed you... Wait, if you spread that, then my plan will be ruined too?

I need to get a recorder as quickly as possible! I grabbed Sana's hand, my arm feeling like it was going to snap. The large brown squirrel looked at me with a surprised expression.

한예화 image

한예화

Sana! Do you happen to know what a recorder is?
