Looking for the Runaway Princess –
Prologue
Near future.

A dagger slammed violently into the side of her shoulder.
Before she realized it, he had quietly approached her. As if embracing Elizia, he pulled her close and, with one arm, yanked the dagger out of the book it was pinned into. Then a low voice whispered near her ear.
“Eli. If you wanted to run away from me, you should’ve hidden until the very end.”
“Eli.” The affectionate nickname he always called her by came back to her, sweet as ever.
Elizia raised her head and looked up at the man holding her. How did things end up like this?
The man who once confessed his feelings to her in a garden full of blooming wildflowers. The man who used to smile lazily with his face buried against her neck. But now, he had become a madman of war.
The familiar man stood there, smiling coldly—now completely unfamiliar.
