The Case When I Created A Secret Society of Darkness Because I Reincarnated As A Villain, But For So

◆

[Sufia POV]

I had fallen for someone.

A man in black, wearing a black mask, single-handedly defeated the bandits who tried to kidnap me and saved my life.

The man in the black mask walked away without telling me his name, but I somehow knew who he was.

The two left in that place were His Highness Prince Claude and my former fiancée, Lord Kaisar.

In that case, it would inevitably be His Highness Prince Claude who did all that just to save me.

There’s no way Lord Kaisar would rescue me after he broke off our engagement.

Moreover, it hurts to say this, but I’m aware that he’s not the kind of person who would offer a hand to someone in trouble.

When I guessed the man in the black mask’s identity on my own, a tiny bud of love sprouted in my heart.

However, my family is a barony, while His Highness Claude is the genuine crown prince of the Gladius Empire and is the second in line to the Imperial Throne.

However, knowing that my love for him wouldn’t come true, I still couldn’t stop myself from loving the person who saved my life.

I’m free to be in love with that person, and no one can take this love away from me.

However, something has changed.

His Highness Claude has been acting strangely recently.

Usually, His Highness Claude was dignified, gentle, and always imposing, but now he seems somewhat restless and lacking in composure.

He seems like a balloon that could burst at any moment.

I know why he has become like this, and the reason hurts my heart.

I am sure that His Highness Claude loves Lady Bridgette as much as I love him, but Bridgette is so attached to Lord Kaisar that she decided to become his servant.

To be frank, I don’t know what’s so good about Lord Kaisar at all, not even the slightest. But it is said that there is no accounting for taste in choosing, and everyone has their own preferences.

However, His Highness Claude, who loves Brigitte, could not let that go, and the atmosphere has changed to what it is today.

Seeing His Highness Claude like that, I was determined to always be by his side, hoping that I could heal his heart.

I would be lying if I said that I did not have an ugly feeling of hoping that His Highness Claude might take a look at me. Still, I had no choice but not to do it just because I was not at the end of the line.
