”Princess, you forgot me!

”Hime ......-sama?　Who are you talking about?

Miaranse called out desperately, but Rene only looked afraid and confused.

If a child is suddenly approached like this by a complete stranger, he or she will usually react in this way.

”Oh no ......, what the heck ...... is this?

The same is true for Mehranze, who is puzzled.

In the first place, Rene is not normal.

”May I ask your name, please?

”Me?　My name is Rene. ......

Mihranze wondered if they were twin sisters or something, but she was wrong.

Excuse me.

”Excuse me.” ......

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

She could feel the warmth of a living being.

--She looked like a princess, but she had body heat. She is not undead after all. ......

Did you lose your memories as well as your undead powers......?

It would make more sense than thinking of a different person with the same name.

Since Miaranse herself has lost her vampire powers, it may be possible that Rene could lose his powers as well.

But even if that is the case, why and how did he lose his power? And what was the difference between Rene, whose memory was taken away, and Miarandze, who remembers what happened just before?

What's wrong, sir?

There's nothing ...... wrong. Sorry.

Rene, who was suddenly put a hand on his forehead, was as puzzled as he could be by Miaranse's strange behavior.

When Miaranse took her hand away, she tilted her head and touched her own forehead.

--What am I supposed to do ...... about this place in the first place?

A feeling of uneasiness was gnawing at Miarandze, as if he had been thrust into a dimly lit hole.

The situation was incomprehensible. He had lost the strength to fight, and the princess (Rene) he relied on was unreliable.

Feeling unsettled, Miarandze looks around the room.

This is the same room as the one next to the one where Miaranse woke up. The room is lined with antique furniture, a fire burning in the fireplace that no one knows when it was lit, and yet it is dominated by an unnerving dimness. ......

--...... What's this?

There was one thing that was not in the next room.

A wooden, delicately carved bookcase.

It was crammed full of books, but oddly enough, most of the books were made to be integrated into the bookshelf and could not be removed or opened.

There was only one book among them, a real book.

Strangely, Miarandze took it out.

The book was as thick as a dictionary, but most of the pages were stuck together, and only a few pages in the middle could be opened and read.

”'Sorry, my mistake,' ......?

The book was written in a handwriting that looked familiar.

It had a flowing, sensual style that made no sense.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, my mistake.

The Great Forest of Goosenfall is in some way a ”hidden village”.

A ”hidden village” is a technical term for a place that is like a fairy garden woven with mystery. It's a realm that is out of phase with the physical world.

The princess is said to have been trapped there with Miaranse. In other words, it's a godforsaken place.

This is my fault for not recognizing the nature of the forest in my research. I sent the princess to such a dangerous place.

I'm trying to analyze as much as possible and interrupt the hidden village, but I don't know what's going on there.

It's probably impossible to pry open the quarantined world from the outside and rescue the princess.

But don't despair.

I don't know how this message reached you, but if it did, then it was a great success.

The interruption worked.

No matter how narrow the path, no matter how seemingly unreasonable it may seem, there must be a way out of it.

I hope you will find it somehow.

I'll see if there's anything I can do from the outside.

Everis

I'm sorry.

When he finished reading the book ......, a mixture of hope and despair swirled around inside of Miaranse.

--The message was addressed not to me, but to the Princess. ...... Doesn't the Chief of Staff know that the Princess is in such a state? It is probably impossible to inform her of the current situation and ask for advice. ......

My father told me the story of the hidden shrine.

People suddenly disappear in the mountains or forests. Most of them are probably victims of kidnappers or demons, but sometimes the disappeared return years later.
