Chapter 183.

After oversleeping and eating close to breakfast at noon, I bit Emily and left the room slowly. Every maid I encountered saw me and scrambled to lower their heads. I ignored the sight of me plastered to the back of my head and made my way out the back door of the villa.

Walking cum strolling around the backyard. No one had tried to touch me lately. I said I was close, but there was no stopping me from walking around outside the room. Whether they understood me or are busy suspecting Iben, they haven’t come to the Duke’s house since last time either.

The feeling of physical and mental stability came while performing the hardcore mode without seeing the tiresome face image that I must face.

”I’m afraid of drinking poison again, I’m afraid.”

With an empty heart, I looked around with a grumpy expression. When I walked out of the room, a moment later I felt the sight of breathing heavily.

Emily was as well. The entire mansion seemed to have been called to spy on whether I was wasting my time again.

It was often annoying whenever I felt the rat-like sight, but I tried to think positively. It’s better than an escort, a big zoom, and a labeled prison officer.”

Unlike the brick-like knights, rather afraid of me. Wide-eyed whenever encountered, they run away with their tails between their legs.” Ho!”

Getting a few clumsy watchers kicked out, the back of the mansion instantly became quiet. I looked around the area where the commotion had disappeared and stumbled in my steps.

The place reached was the most remote part of the back of the villa. I stood in front of a huge kiln and rummaged through the inner pockets of my skirt. Pulled out of me shortly afterward was a small glass vial and a jumble of debris.” Poison, and pieces of relics . ”

I brought them down with me, reaching out with my other hand to open the door. Ash and water mixed together and saw into the dirty floor kiln.

I placed the poisons and relics I had brought inside, then closed the door again and turned the side. The magic-powered ground kiln was conveniently free of firewood and spewed forth a roaring flame. Clanging flames danced on the small glass window above the door. I crouched in front of the kiln, waiting for the contents to burn all the way up without even leaving ash behind.

“Ha……”

This look at me was a bolt from the blue, and suddenly erupted into a disembodied voice. Damn. Determined to go home anyway.

< System >Suddenly!

Please keep [Fragment of Ancient Magic Mirror] in a safe place!

After the day I opened my eyes again, the system window was still unlocked. But I decided to hide the shard in a safe place and burn it along with the poison. Where in the world is a safe place, it’s better to destroy than to hide and simply never find it.

It’s ridiculous to do this to me like a crazy game, chanting thousands of times in order to completely ignore it later. But no big deal. What about the horror?

I’m still in the moment, and it’s fresh in my mind. The white robo that sucked the life out of some guy with a synthetic relic.

Still get the creeps just thinking about that. Therefore, before leaving the Duke’s house, anything that might leave a little bit of an aftertaste should be deleted.

Tadak, Tadak – A light burning sound as the flames engulfed all the prey and slowly subsided.

Ahhhhh. Shortly afterward, the hot interior cooled with an automatic spurt of water. I waited long enough for the whole process to end before finally opening the door.

It was a simple confirmation, because it was a very important thing to “destroy the evidence”. Of course, it was all burned up in the huge magical flames, so there probably wasn’t anything left to reassemble …….

“What.” Pacificly, I thought, glancing into the kiln, my mouth hanging open in disbelief. Got the poison thankfully without traces. But″.” Crazy, why just ……”

The mirror shards stayed the same. No burn marks, fine.

Staring at it dumbfounded I slowly reached out. Maybe it was baked to a crisp and looked fine on the surface, desperately clinging to hope. ‘Please break like dust on contact ……’

No matter who was watching, it was the shakti of picking up the shards of the mirror with anxious hands groping for them.

Tadak, Tadak – accompanied by rough footsteps.

“Master.” The familiar voice called me. I gasped in fear. Nor did I properly recognize the inside of the sculpted, angular palm. Panicked, I hid my hands behind my back and turned around.

Saw a man who was breathing heavily with his hand on the building’s facade. Drenched in sweat. Grayish-yellow hair plastered to a pretty face. It was Ikris.

“You’re in …… you’re in.” He blinked strangely and slowly raised his upper body, lowered by his choice of breath. Tick-tock, tick-tock. Suddenly, the sound of dripping water turned his eyes toward me, and I frowned. Blood clattered from his hand, leaving red trails on the dirt floor. In addition to the backs of his hands, which showed red flesh, his dirty bare feet and legs were all raw color. The only skin in good shape was the skin of his face.

“In the end ……” the frightened heart thumped. The sudden appearance of his entrance, the miserable and unimaginable face. It was all unexpected. I’ve just escaped.

I slowly closed my mouth. The heart that was beating chaotically calmed down little by little, and it was always cold in the servant’s room. I don’t know how I knew to come here again, but whether he was hurt or said something, I no longer know.

I immediately stiffened coldly and moved quickly to my feet. It was time to hurry back and figure out what to do with the pieces that weren’t burning.

But before I could leave, the road was blocked. I stopped and stared coldly at the large form that sprawled out in front of me.

“Get out of the way.”

“…… Master.”

Ikris stared at me expressionlessly. Something grew in the temperamental eyes. Thoughts, grief, resentment, worry, and other things that weren’t so happy right now.

“Didn’t you hear me say that I would dispose of you as a dead man?”

To my cold question, Ikris sweetly answered the lips.

“Heard. Heard that. ……”

“Why is that …… face hurt.”

“Ha.” Although I heard, but the back of the ear to listen to the attitude of my speech.

He looked at me gloomily briefly snorted. At this rate, it seemed like it would never go away. I let out a low sigh and took a step back from the guy.

“…… You’re the one, this look, what’s that? Did you escape from prison?” Writing the impression pointing out the bad mouth, the unashamed guy slightly reddened his face.

“Since the last time we met, I got out of jail straight away. But, before the end of the master’s Bar Mitzvah, was put under house arrest in the dormitory ……”

“I heard that the master collapsed …… tried to come to the dormitory many times then was imprisoned again ……”

That means he eventually escaped from prison. Ikris placed his injured hands on my gradually stiffening expression and scratched my nails with his fingers before adding.

“I heard you woke up today ……”

“So, even the prison door broke out?”

felt certain in the silence. Exasperated.

“Better be good and go back before you get dragged away.” I said it coldly, then took another step.

There were no more words to say, and no telling what the eloquence-less guy was trying to say.

“…… me.”

But once again, it was blocked by the front before brushing past.

“Now you’ve handled your sword well, master.”

Suddenly saying something like that, why to me. I try to take a deep breath and press down the irritation that wells up to answer.” So? Congratulations.”

“Not a slave, but a civilian, rising in status.”

“Excellent.”

“So …… now as the master’s knight, I can do everything for you.”

“What?” I asked blankly, not understanding.

Ikris mumbled a little sheepishly lowering her eyes .” …… Revenge on the person who did this to his master.”

“Huh.”

No wonder the seesaw cracked. It wasn’t the usual insanity that put me in this position, it was you, who wanted to shoot me in the head and ended up putting up with it. Not thinking that way at all, aren’t you saying that kind of other thing to me right now. Words are so say each other, be kicked how to do. Only hurt my mouth.

“Who was that?” I asked, pretending not to know.

“Iben.” The answer came straight back.

“Duke Carter, Derek Eckhardt, Leonard Eckhardt, Giza Fennel, the Head Maid, all the servants and guards who talk highly of their masters.”

“Duan Yien, Albert, Peter Lerner, Gericke, Hans.” On top of that, he would say unfamiliar names. There were people in there that I recognized, and some that I didn’t. But all I felt was fear that he was memorizing all those people.

After mumbling the names, Ikris slowly knelt in front of me. Like the first time we met, the guy carefully placed my face in one of my random hands.

“…… My thoughts are simple.”

“That day, after the master left like that, there was a lot of introspection.”

“Master, you don’t like the idea of getting rid of your comfort and status ……” He twisted his head and pressed his moist lips to the back of my hand.

“…… But there is only one knight, and without noticing one, take out the words of escape …….”

“Now also the plan is modified, the master holds the duke in his hand, no.”

“I will hold the Empire in my hand if you wish.” Ikris looked at me fervently, pleading.

“Allow me. Then I know all …….”

“Ikris.” Couldn’t listen any longer. I whispered to him to interrupt his mumbling.

“You heard the servants call it a farce, you knew I drank poison, but you didn’t hear I drank sherry?” “That ……”

He stopped talking by accident. For a split second, the wavering grayish-yellow pupils gave the answer. We both knew roughly how it went back.

As before, as soon as I noticed him, I roughly grabbed his hand that was rubbing his face.

“This family, this family of people ……”

But he took the hand I was moving away from and grabbed it wolfishly with a blood-covered hand.

“Driving everyone in this house away, the master could only make this choice ……”

“Because of you.”

“…… Is it?”

“You drank strong drink because of you.”

Not because of an Ikris, of course, but a compounded reason. But rather it was false, and I wondered what it was like.

“At what point will I be the only one who can act like a human . ”

Looking down with a bewildered face, I laughed. Then tenderly, I was told one word.

“You made me have to die.” To hear the woman I love, come back from the dead because of you.
