Chapter 215.
I froze, looking at the necklace Derrick was wearing. Because suddenly, why you gave this is completely unpredictable.
“It didn’t seem exactly like that necklace then ……”
The necklace that peeked through Penelope’s dream was appropriate for a child, and the diamonds set in the trim were small. But the necklace Derrick had given him was similar, but as big as a thumbnail.
“Engraved with movement magic.”
Looking at the reluctant me, he spoke slowly.
“Three times. He said that if you rub the diamond, the rise can be moved without distance restriction.”
The answer returned was absurd in the extreme. Out of my mouth came the question that was rightfully mine
“Why?”
“Why did you give me this?”
At the same time, the urgent cries he last saw came to mind.
Even the guy from Leonard who fought like Ansuke called him to come, he didn’t call me. But why?!!!
The reason for his gift. The dirty feelings harbored by the hateful woman who had her sister’s seat taken away.
The censorship was reversed, knowing him to be a sick man. Lips drying up, finally saying nothing on his behalf.
“Do you think anything will change if you come and throw this now?”
There was a time when I thought his gift to me meant an improved relationship. In this life it’s finally come down to breaking the ice between the first pups. It doesn’t have to be a game to field trip.
“Because of the gems, the illusion of luxury, would all be forgotten if expensive gifts were given?”
But it’s a huge illusion. I declared it without even pretending to receive what he gave me.
“Then you are terribly mistaken, little duke.”
“The kind of misery I felt then was the result of the countless humiliations and insults you gave me.”
“How I forgot them. The necklace is just jewel crazy.” I insincerely touched the necklace that flowed from his hand. The expensive white gold strands tinkled in the air, and the man’s blue eyes quaked in contrast.
“Now, every time you give me something, I’m scared. Because every time afterward, I’m afraid, it drops me to hell.”
“That’s why I won’t take it, Little Duke. No matter what the reason is.”
“I don’t need any of what you’re offering.”
The last of the demons realized the surroundings and leaned down for a small chant. Considering it was still the little duke, it was the best care I could do.
To my horrible sister, there was nothing left of the feelings of the guy stabbed through the chest. Every feeling of anger, disgust, not even sympathy. A quick whisper followed by a physical awakening like nothing had happened.
“I know ……”
He finally spoke to my words.
“Nothing will be forgotten or disappear.”
Is it really a blessing that I realize it now? His pale face twisted miserably as he looked down at him with numb eyes.
“I’m just …… I’m just mansion, uh.”
The guy who answered suddenly vomited blood. I was a little surprised and panicked to the servants.” Quickly move to the villa. This will be dangerous …….”
“It’s dangerous outside the villa.”
But Derek suddenly interrupted me and blood splattered all over me. The hand clinging to my wrist exerted itself. It’s perfectly possible to shake it off, so no wonder I can’t.” Where neither my eyes nor my sword can reach, nor guard or control ……”
“When you’re away from home, what’s the best way to avoid lowering Eckhardt’s prestige if something happens to you?”
“I just got bitter and made the appropriate conclusions.”
I don’t know, wounded Derrick really has a knack for making barking sound pleading.” So please ……”
Overwhelmed and stiff, I reached out to hold the trembling necklace.
Nearly out of breath, “Hahaha,” he finally said pleadingly.” So please …… accept it, can you?”
“Sorry, I’ll take it, Little Duke.”
At that moment. Suddenly something bent down and wrapped itself around. Before Derrick’s hand could touch me, my body was pulled violently backward.
“Even without something like that, my fiancée I’ll take care of.”
“Your Highness?”
Snapping his head up, he saw the face of the frowning crown prince.
“Pfft!”
At the same time, Derrick spat blood and gore once again, his body shaking. Landing in the empty air, the necklace held in his hand snapped down. There was no slight movement after that.
“What are you doing, quick not to move. With the Duke also out of the picture, this way even the successor will be replaced.” Callisto, in place of me who was dumbfounded, gave the servants the chin.
“Yes, I’m sorry!”
The necklace thread hanging on the hand outside the stretcher swayed gently and went away. The mood became abnormal as he watched in silence.
“…… It can’t be dead, can it?”
Muttering in his distraught heart, the Crown Prince smacked his tongue and said.
“So what if it’s dead. Think about what that guy did to you.”
“But …… dying is kind of like that.”
“Tsk, your heart is weak, is a mask. If it was like the others, it would still be beaten to death and then cut out of place with a knife.”
“You too, right.”
I shook my head in the crown prince’s tattered humanity and broke free from his arms.
“Has the bleeding stopped? Let me see.”
Callisto, who had put such a me back, grabbed both my cheeks and scrutinized my face.” It stopped. Sorry, drop a little.”
“Did you drink the potion?”
“No, not yet.”
“Now take it out and drink it.”
“I’m actually, feeling okay ……”
I wanted to save my food, but I couldn’t because of the big angry eyes. I took out a stamina potion from the main island’s main island pocket.
“Let go of me for a bit so I can drink it, your highness.”
By that time, the crown prince who was still streaming and still grabbing my cheeks, murmured in dissatisfaction.
“What are you doing now!”
Where, in a strange voice, someone darted over and pulled us both apart. It was Leonard.
“Hey, are you okay? Is everything okay?!”
Panicked, he blocked in front of me staring at the Crown Prince like a wary cat.
“What are you doing, Your Highness? Don’t touch my sister!”
“Huh. What does it matter to you what I do with my fiancée?”
“Your fiancée? Wasn’t she dumped by Penelope after she chased after her to reclaim it?”
“Then get acquainted now. The male daughter and I are particularly attuned to each other. The lovers who overcame the crisis meet again for a kiss, the trouble maker without eyes …… male, the male daughter! Where are you going?!!!”
“Hey Penelope!”
I didn’t have the confidence to gag the horribly quarrelsome guys. Only to flee far away.
Shortly afterward, not knowing what he heard from the crown prince, Leonard came running towards me in a huff.
“Hey, is it true that you decided to act with that crazy …… no, that highness?”
About half of it was true, so I nodded silently.” I’m going to find Iben him again. And save dad.”
“I’m coming along.”
The words came back to me just as they were spoken, and my somewhat unfamiliar face looked back at Leonard.” Aren’t you scared?”
“What?”
“You just saw it. Your own sister is, in fact, a horrible monster.” Derrick guy changed his look, changed his appearance, became deathly pale and shivered with fear. Leonard didn’t look as punchy as he thought he did.
“I didn’t like her much from the start. Gloomy and not at all like Iben.”
“Huh.”
I snorted when I came back.
“What are we going to do from now on, like catching mice, when are we going to catch them ……”
But the simple Leonard guy wasn’t as brainwashed as Derrick, which was a bit of a relief to me.
“…… How dare she kidnap dad? Now that you’ve touched Eckhardt, there’s only death.” Leonard, who was mumbling alone, suddenly turned stiff and asked me.
“…… Since when did you know?”
“Hmm?”
“Did you know from the beginning? Is that so?”
Leonard pursued the question continuously. Of course, I didn’t know at first. No, something close to disbelief. How could a kind mistress be such a horrible monster, crazy game.
“…… I didn’t start out with it either. I’ve come across it a few times, and I know it because I didn’t shine it in a mirror or tea.”
I mixed facts appropriately, perfunctorily. At this, Leonard frowned.
“So you ran away from home? Were you afraid of her, trying to find a wand you could fight against?” Ashamedly, he pointed to my mirror wand.
“That’s not ……”
“You’re really!”
Before I could panic and deny that it wasn’t, the devil’s tail was cut off.” How can you even say that?”
“It’s time for you to talk! Time away from home should come first!”
Leonard’s open eyes stare at me, grasping. I understand, cocking my head.
“Speaking of which, what’s the difference?”
“O, what’s the difference! Saying it, together …… didn’t we find the solution together!”
“Whether she’s my own sister or not, if you say it, it won’t leave you alone to leave it all behind.”
“You’re my sister too.”
Leonard said firmly. It was a hard voice to believe given the Duke’s no-one-believes-me stance. However, his pained expression, filled with guilt, was not considered fake.
“…… He used brainwashing, no way. I was afraid to say it to anyone and get my ass kicked like the first brother.”
Finally, in a small way, I told the truth.
“Crazy. That’s because brother was military brainwashed like a sick god? That crazy person!!!” Surprised at my words, Ron scolded Derrick. Cooling my heart a bit, I smiled and added.” And gave it back to me, unloaded.”
“What? When?”
“I told Father to be careful. But father only noticed now.” Leonard’s face froze at my answer.
“Well, why didn’t dad say a single half-sentence to me about something so important …….”
He mumbled as if he was disgruntled. Looking at the face that still looked like a person who hadn’t woken up to punishment, I instead felt even more sorry for the Duke.
At that time.
“Leonard! Penelope!”
A sudden familiar voice called us. Leonard’s and my heads up went back at the same time. The woods on the side of Yan Armed and then Jungwon stood full of silhouettes.
“I’m back!”
Leonard opened his mouth. Then I am as well. A duke who shut up with his sword when he was young again, but must have just been kidnapped …….
“So soon?”
