Prologue

 

A man with his hair neatly tucked behind his forehead rushed up the stairs. His eyes were red as if they were on fire.

Even though a sniper was planted in case of an unforeseen situation, no gunfire was heard.

‘Stupid bastards. How can you only do things this way when you’ve been paid so much!’

“Damn it! What are you doing!”

The man shouted at the sniper right in front of him. His maddened eyes were like a frantic beast impatient to catch the prey in front of him. The man gritted his teeth and took the sniper’s gun and put it over his shoulder.

‘You bastards, I will kill you.’

Finding his target immediately with his eyes on the scope, the man was about to pull the trigger when a completely unexpected presence forced him to halt.

Thump― Thump―

The heat that had risen to the top of his head cooled down, leaving only the sound of his heart ringing in his ears.

Only then did he realize why the skillful sniper couldn’t pull the trigger and just stared in vain.

A beautiful white dress, finely raised brown hair, and an elegant neckline that was troublesome due to the constant attention it received from below. On top of the horse was the bride who had married him.

The man just stared blankly at the woman moving away. The hair and hem of the clothes slowly fluttered in the wind. Her brown hair, brightly colored by the sun, shone dazzlingly.

The man who regained his senses burst into laughter. Visible veins were seen on the arm clutching the gun.

Was it anger or a sense of betrayal? The man let out a small curse through his clenched teeth and fixed the gun.

A small body was seen swaying gracefully along with the movement of the horse. His palm remembered the touch of those slender ribs. Thinking of the bullet that would be lodged there, the muzzle dropped on its own and touched his leg.

‘Should I hit her leg and make it difficult for her to move?’

However, it was difficult to aim because her legs were covered by a pure white dress. If the horse’s body was hit by mistake, the woman who was riding on it would be thrown out into the stone field. Having run at such a high speed, there is no way she could avoid injury if she fell on the stone floor.

‘Then, should I hit the guy who is riding the horse with her…….’

Even that was impossible because of the woman who was behind him. If he does something wrong, the woman may get hit. Even in this damn situation, he was still thinking about that woman.

The man did not even move to the point where the gun over his shoulder became useless, and he just looked at the woman who was moving away.

Bang!

At that moment, a gunshot was heard. The trembling man hurriedly looked at the woman. Fortunately, the bullet just hit the floor and no one was hit.

“Who told you to shoot!”

The sniper, who was holding his position and aiming again, was hit by a sudden kick and looked up at the man with a bewildered expression.

“Put the gun down.”

His hair, which had been neatly tucked in, became messy and gave off a dangerous atmosphere with his bloodshot eyes. The frightened sniper put down his gun and raised his hands.

The man looked at the two people who were now so far away that they had turned into dots. The hand holding the gun trembled slightly, and he tightly clenched his teeth, causing his jaw muscles to bulge.
