Chapter 34.2 (2/2)

‘However…’

I tilted my head.

It was weird because Damian was nowhere to be seen today.

Usually, he’d be waiting outside in time for my visit, but what happened?

I decided to go inside for now.

“Crown Prince?”

There was a feeling of uneasiness inside me.

What’s going on here?

I looked around to the kitchen, living room, utility room…

I looked in all the places where Damian frequented, but he was nowhere to be found.

Finally, there is only one place left.

‘Damian’s bedroom.’

Of course, I’m aware that the bedroom is a private space.

But I can’t seem to find Damian anywhere.

Would he be upset if I went into the bedroom just once in this situation?

Well, I didn’t raise Damian like that!

Having rationalized my action as such, I passed through the living room and went inside.

In the distance, I could see Damian’s bedroom.

The door was firmly shut.

I raised my hand after taking a deep breath.

Knock, knock.

I knocked on the door a couple of times, but received no response.

“Crown Prince?”

I called him carefully.

That’s odd, because Damian has nowhere else to go but here.

After hesitating for a while, I eventually placed my hand on the doorknob.

Creak!

The door opened with an unpleasant noise.

I’m glad the door is not locked.

The room was dark with the curtains down.

I stepped into the room.

“Crown Prince.”

I could see the thick blankets as I approached the bed.

It looks like a person was curled up inside that blanket.

Could that person be Damian?

I drew my brows together and approached the bed.

“Ahh!”

At the same time, I let out a scream.

Because a hand was suddenly stretched out, and firmly grasped my neck.

The bright scarlet eyes stared at me with great intensity in the dark.

What?

Damian, what’s wrong with him?

After a while, a voice that sounded like a growling beast echoed throughout the room.

“Who are you?”
