44 – Scene 044# Monitoring

“miss!”

Blanche arrived at the scene in a hurry and looked around.

Fortunately, Bella was quickly found.

There was one person who glanced at the special police officers as they cleaned up the scene.

It was Bella, a beautiful woman with silver hair.

Bella recognized Blanche and waved her hand.

“Ah, Blanche. Here.”

“miss! Are you okay? where did you get hurt… .”

After saying that, Blanche’s eyes slowly narrowed.

Because the man who couldn’t be here was with Bella.

“… count.”

“yes.”

“What are you doing there now?”

“Can’t you see? He is being treated.”

“… I know that. only… I am asking why Lady Bella is treating the Count.”

Tristan’s stomach was wrapped in fresh bandages.

And it was none other than Bella who cut off the end of the bandage with scissors and finished it off.

“It’s all done. Don’t overdo it now.”

“miss… Why are you treating him?”

“Ah, I couldn’t help it. Otherwise this man might be dead.”

“Yes? what is that… ?”

Blanche tilted her head.

Bella said as if she was very sorry.

“The Count risked his injuries to save me, and this happened. So what can I do? I’m reluctant, but you can help me with a cure, right? Yes?”

“It was you who asked me to heal you.”

“Oops… Look at this. You must have hurt your head too. You don’t even remember it very well.”

“My hair is fine.”

“Unfortunately… .”

“… … .”

Tristan was about to say something, but fell silent.

He looked oddly tired.

It seemed true that he was trying to protect Bella.

Blanche bowed deeply to him.

“… First of all, thank you very much. Count, I didn’t know that this would happen in my absence.”

And he spoke to Bella in a stern tone.

“miss. If you plan on coming to a place like this next time, be sure to tell me.”

“sorry… Blanche.”

“Did you hurt your head, Miss? Aren’t you bleeding?”

Blanche worriedly looked at the bloody gauze attached to the back of Bella’s head.

“I’m really fine. It’s just a slight lump.”

“Then I’m really glad… You almost had a really big day today. Well?”

It was only then that Blanche found pupils glued to Bella’s side.

“By the way… Who is this child?”

“I am a lost child. Somehow, I was kidnapped together and decided to stay with me until I found my parents.”

“okay… .”

Blanche’s expression softened as she looked at the child.

He bent his knees and held out his hand to the girl.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Blanche. What is your name?”

“Alice… .”

Alice hesitantly accepted Blanche’s handshake.

“Alice… That’s a good name.”

“Tall sister… .”

“Yes?”

“My tall sister… Are you a subordinate of the fairy?”

“Fairy… ? Ahh… ?”

Blanche exchanged glances with Bella, then smiled.

“That’s right. I am a knight who protects the fairies.”

“Knight… ?”

“Yes.”

“Then you scold the bad guys too?”

“You mean the bad guy?”

At Blanche’s question, Alice pointed her finger at Tristan.

“That person is bad. Give me trouble.”

Saying that, Alice somehow seemed to be in pain.

Blanche cleared her throat and asked Tristan.

“count… Did you do something to this child?”

“It is as the child said. I just did bad things.”

“… ?”

Blanche tilted her head as if she couldn’t understand more.

Tristan was also silent, as if he had nothing more to say.

Then I suddenly thought of something, so I asked Bella.

“But the bad guys who kidnapped the lady… No, where are they?”

“It is being carried out. As you can see… .”

“… Uhm?”

Seeing where Bella pointed, Blanche had to frown.

There, police special forces officers were arresting a group of men.

However, the men were all miserable.

A man writhing in pain, a man clutching a broken arm and crying.

It was a scene that made me wonder if the special police force had come to pick up patients, not arrest criminals.

It was also a familiar scene for her.

Then, Alice whispered in Blanche’s ear.

“That bad guy did that.”

“… … !”

the count?

Blanche looked at Tristan in disbelief.

He sat with his usual haughty attitude.

Blanche knew this well because she had fought Tristan to the death.

that he was strong enough to seriously injure her.

Of course, the limits were clear, but the fact that Tristan was a very difficult opponent remained unchanged.

‘But that… … .’

At first glance, Blanche could tell.

The men who kidnapped Bella were thoroughly broken.

It was a technique used by killers.

A technique for killing people with bare hands.

The finish was clumsy, but it was unmistakable.

It was impossible unless someone, like her, knew how to ‘destroy humans’.

The Tristan that Blanche knew would have been able to defeat them somehow.

But anyway, I can’t make it that way.

‘… … .’

Blanche was lost in thought for a moment.

Her cool head weighed all the possibilities.

And I thought of only one possibility.

‘I’m sure it wasn’t my power back then…’ is it?’

It was undoubtedly a struggle.

In that struggle, Tristan did not use chess.

In a situation where his life was at stake, he fought against her with only one gun and one spirit.

why?

Tristan is a thoroughly calculating man.

He judged that he could defeat her with just ‘that’.

Even if he had excellent taijutsu, Blanche was confident of defeating him.

But is he really only hiding chess?

Blanche could no longer conclude anything about Tristan’s strength.

She remembered what he had said.

-Know. The fact that you’re going to target me again.

– But I won’t die. I am confident of that.

My head was cold.

Blanche carefully hugged Alice.

And murmured in a low voice.

“exactly… okay.”

Was that why you were there?

Blanche smiled at Alice.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t know what to look like now.

“Don’t worry. Alice. Don’t let that man do bad things… I will keep an eye on you.”

“yes! thank you! Tall sister!”

Blanche hugged Alice, who was smiling brightly.

Then, she spotted the special police officer walking towards her.

The special police officer, who seemed to have a high rank, lowered his head.

To none other than Tristan.

“Count. Is this person by any chance?”

Behind the man who said that, stood a woman he had never seen before.

It was Alice in Blanche’s arms who recognized the woman.

“Oh, Mom!”

“Alice!”

Alice jumped up and was hugged by her mother.

The two hugged each other and cried on the spot.

The reunion of a mother and daughter who had been separated was a very heartwarming sight.

“I searched around the market and found a woman looking for a missing child.”

“You worked hard.”

“no. Count. Glad you found it. Please call anytime if you need any help.”

“Well.”

After completing his mission, the special police officer bowed his head politely and returned to his workplace.

Bella, who had been watching him all along, said.

“Huh… Count, do you have any connections to the special forces? No, should I say money?”

“… I’ll just go.”

“Where are you going with that body?”

“I have a place to go.”

“Alone? Without an escort?”

“yes.”

It was the moment Tristan was about to move on, ignoring Bella as if he was annoyed.

“May I accompany you?”

“Blanche… ?”

Bella tilted her head.

Blanche appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of Tristan.

“I’m the benefactor who saved the lady, but can’t I risk sending her away alone like this?”

She added politely but boldly.

“Ah, of course, if your lady permits it.”
