Episode 1: Enter,  

「Crown Prince Axelferion- The Fris Empire was slaughtered and the victory was won.
Who is the ‘Annette’ he is looking for? 」

As I was reading the newspaper, my pupils shook.

The headlines contained the news of the crown prince’s victory, but in fact, it was not surprising that he won.

Because the crown prince was such a powerful person – one with magic powers.

It was surprising, however, that the only reason for the war was to find a woman named Annette.

‘Wasn’t it money?’

In the article it was written:

As soon as the crown prince, who was not originally interested in war, heard that Annette was hiding in the Fris Empire, he swept the continent at once.

Gulp, wahh–

Saliva pooled.

Because…

Because I was the Annette the fearsome prince was looking for!

But below that was another formidably shocking headline.

「The next Tower Lord, Grand Duke Heinrich, put a reward of 5.8 trillion gold on the older sister he lost when he was young.

“…Crazy.”

That was as good as a one-year budget for a huge empire.

“Who bets the state budget as a reward…?”

Who was this? It was Heinrich, the scoundrel I raised as a younger brother.

It wasn’t just that.
I found an even more disturbing article beneath it.

「According to the available information, Larva declares war on Delphi, “You touched the bakery, so I will destroy the three tribes”」

‘Are you going to destroy the three tribes just for touching a bakery?’

They touched a bakery…?

As the owner of that ‘bakery’, I really want to stop you, Kyle.

The three of them, really.

“They’re out of their minds…”

It was when I was talking to myself as if I was tired of it.
The door opened with a heavy bang.

The moment I looked back in surprise, I had no choice but to freeze immediately.

The man who took on the role of a new ‘door’ in place of the one blown away was about 190 centimeters tall and had shoulders broad enough to fill the door.

His muscular chest, which was exposed under the thick collarbone, was so wonderful that there was nowhere to place my eyes.

‘Why are you opening your shirt again?’

Regardless of my doubts, he began to walk towards me with graceful yet beastly movements.

The moonlight slanting in an oblique line illuminated his body unrealistically.

His armor-like chest, countless scars, and stomach clearly split along the shape of his muscles.
(T/N: in case it wasn’t clear, the latter part of the sentence is describing abs hahaha.)

The atmosphere was raw enough that it almost felt barbaric.

The man approached me and lightly supported my chin with his long index finger.

“You are here, Annette.”

Finally, under the moonlight, the man’s face was revealed.

Under his black hair that was like the night when no one was out and around, were eyes that were red to the point of being scary.

I muttered his name like a moan.

“Sislin…”

He was the crown prince of this country, Sislin.

The one I just read about in the newspaper.

As if answering my call, Sislin rolled his eyes and smiled.
It was clearly a smile of madness.
He whispered;

“I thought I was going crazy because I missed you.
Annette.”

‘Excuse me, but it looked like you had turned enough already (?), Your Highness.’
(T/N: the ‘(?)’ is in the raws.)

Clang–

Then something cold touched my wrist with a metallic sound.
Crazy, it was shackles.

“Now if you want to run away…”

Broad shoulders leaned towards me.
As I instinctively breathed in, I could feel the man’s strong body scent.

“Cut off my wrist and run away.”

The cruel red eyes that followed the shackles attached to us flashed brightly.

Thump thump. That was when my heart started beating fast.

Whoosh–

Suddenly, a wind blew.
I quickly looked out the window and found a man sitting on the window sill.

A handsome man with dazzling silver hair was relaxing in the pouring moonlight.

“…Heinrich?”

“Sister.”

He jumped in.
The noble purple eyes were still beautiful even though I had not seen them in a long time.

‘How did he find me?’

The last time I saw him, those pretty eyes were full of tears… 

Now, Heinrich had a mature gaze, and his smirk and charming hands were completely a grown man’s.

Like flowing water, he approached and hugged me like when he was an 11-year-old boy, and buried his head into my back.

“I missed you.”

A hot whisper pierced my heart.

“…Why didn’t you keep your promise? Sister, you decided not to leave me behind.”

Every time he uttered in a pained voice, my skin kept tickling.

“Heinrich…”

Heinrich raised his head and looked sideways down at my cheek and whispered in my ear.

“Lies are a bad thing.”

The long purple eyes were bent innocently and cruelly.

“What punishment should be given to a child who has done something bad?”

Hmph! That was the moment when I hardened my body.
A damp voice came up from my feet.

“Owner.”

“Oh!”

What! I was surprised for a moment and looked down to see a handsome man kneeling at my feet.

‘When did you appear, Kyle!’

The man, with curly brown hair and green eyes, was wearing disheveled, tilted glasses.

I hadn’t seen Kyle in a long time.
To explain, should I say he’s a little guy who always lingered around me?

Kyle was a regular customer of our bakery.

“Owner, please.”

“…!”

‘Kyle, please put ‘bakery’ in front of ‘owner’.
If you use such an unconventional abbreviation, people will misunderstand you!’

He grabbed my ankles with his big, pretty hands and kissed the top of my feet.

“Please stay by my side forever.
Please, please.”

He lowered his long eyelashes and whispered with his red lips.

Like a soft deer, he was infinitely obedient.

But, him, him…

‘According to the available information, you are the leader of the killers of Larva!’

‘I know you’re a scary person even if you pretend to be obedient in front of me.’

‘How can there be no normal person among these three?’

I suddenly had a reality check and the corners of my lips twitched.

“Annette, I can’t release these shackles until I die.
No… I can’t even let it go even if I die.”

“Sister, you know right? I love you.… forever…”

“Please be with me for the rest of my life, my owner.”

With these three obsessive maniacs clinging to me, I thought with blurred eyes.

‘How did all three of them go crazy?’

I was starting to worry about my future being entwined with these obsessive maniacs, but now I actually needed to look back on my past.

The reason why these three obsessive maniacs couldn’t eat me and made me anxious must have been from the past.

So maybe… It seemed that all incidents started from that day.

Just ‘that day.’

The day I first met Sislin.

* * *

In the night when everyone was asleep.
That night, I was hiding in the kitchen.

It had already been a week.
To meet Sislin, I put a savory cheese bread on the counter and waited.

‘Huh? He came out!’

Mmph–

I covered my mouth as I watched the little hand fumble for the bread.

‘He finally showed up… I’m so nervous.’

As soon as the little hand found the bread, he hid like a busy squirrel.

And after a whil
