The Master-Servant Relationship Had Been Reversed, and the Subtle Hierarchy Between Them Had Been Thrown Off

Suyeon wondered if Seonghyeon had gone completely out of his mind after being tortured.

And she knew perfectly well that her own mind wasn't exactly clear, either.

“Why not? It'd be better if we left together. We could run dungeons, level up, and live like we used to, right?”

“It's dangerous. You need to be somewhere safe. I'm just some washed-up adventurer, but you're a princess, aren't you?”

“What are you talking about? I'm not going to be a princess, okay? So let's run away together.”

“Just saying you won't doesn't erase the royal blood in your veins. And do you really think I can escape from here with you?”

Seonghyeon snapped, struggling to breathe.

Every breath came with a grating sound, and his exhausted face was drawn with fatigue.

Though he'd recovered quite a bit, Seonghyeon was still terribly weak, and Suyeon looked at him with an expression he couldn't understand.

Knock, knock...
