An Eight-year-old Princess

The man scowled, "Everything is ready. As long as he appears, he won't be able to escape. But the drug on the robe somehow didn't work. I tested him on purpose just now, but he seemed quite normal. Since the robe didn't work, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to lure him here."
