Bullied but Popular

Chapter 55

55 – Luna Nerestia 2

Aren looked at Cecilia with nervous eyes.

I hadn’t seen her for a long time, but when I saw her usual personality, she was very unfamiliar.

‘Please bear with me.’

Aren this time looked at Duke Hamel’s reaction.

‘Please take a look.’

I was so scared that I couldn’t see his expression properly.

Perhaps even Frey was surprised, as if seeing it for the first time, his expression stiffened.

During the silence that lasted for quite a long time, it was Duke Hamel who spoke first.

“Whoa… I made a mistake, I’m sorry Leah.”

“……”

“Follow me, I will guide Luna.”

‘Sa, lived~’

Fortunately, Duke Hamel is not as dangerous as Aren thinks.

Cecilia moved without saying a word and followed Duke Hamel, and Aren and Frey followed them with tired faces.

“…is Frey okay?”

“… making me nervous, that’s quite a thing Leah.”

“What are you fighting with?”

Frey’s eyes were fixed on Cecilia, perhaps quite surprised.

After passing through the corridor for a while, Duke Hamel stopped walking and stopped in front of the door.

“It’s here.”

kiik

Duke Hamel immediately opened the door and went inside.

“Come in.”

“……”

When the four of them entered the room, there were two men already inside.

“Duke Hamel?”

The man who seemed to be a priest spoke to Duke Hamel first.

“Don’t worry and keep blessing me.”

“yes.”

Duke Hamel looked around and called out to a man who appeared to be a middle-aged councilor.

“Dail.”

“Your duke.”

“What’s the status?”

“… sorry.”

At the words of the doctor called Dail, Cecilia put on a gloomy expression and approached the bed in the middle of the room.

‘… Luna.’

Luna Nerestia.

He was Cecilia’s childhood friend and her own rival when she was a child.

She was barely breathing as she was now dying.

Cecilia looked at Luna with sad eyes for a moment, then turned her gaze to Aren.

“Aren…?”

Aren was staring at the face of Dail, the lawmaker, while using the beach.

Da-il also felt the gaze and spoke to Duke Hamel in embarrassment.

“…? Duke, who is this?”

“……”

When Aren’s condition was strange, everyone in the room focused their attention on Aren.

Mohammed, who was staring at him for a while, moved his steps and spoke to Duke Hamel as if he was guarding the front of Dail, more precisely, the side of the bed.

“Duke Hamel.”

“… what?”

When Aren suddenly called, Duke Hamel looked at Aren as if asking why.

Aren pointed to Dail and said.

“How long has this person been here?”

“… was it about 8 years?”

At the words of Duke Hamel, the Dail councilor nodded in embarrassment.

“Yes, Duke. It will be 9 years soon.”

“Why are you asking that all of a sudden?”

When Duke Hamel asked Aren, Aren said without taking his eyes off Dail.

“Duke, will you come by my side?”

“… why.”

“Can you just come? I think this is important?”

“……”

At Aren’s words, the people in the room looked at Duke Hamel as if slightly surprised, but Duke Hamel unexpectedly calmly approached Aren.

“What.”

“Duke, are you familiar with High Human?”

“What do you want to say?”

“I can see two powers in Lady Luna’s body.”

From noble mtl dot com

“… what?”

Duke Hamel, who did not immediately understand the meaning of Aren’s words, asked as if he was surprised, but Aren continued.

“One thing is like Magi, I don’t know much about it when I first saw it.”

“……”

“The other one is a gift.”

“what!?”

At Aren’s sudden words, the people in the room looked at Aren with a surprised expression.

Only one person, Dail Man, was looking at Aren with an expressionless expression.

“The gift hanging on the young lady’s body is probably something like a buff.”

“buff?”

“Yeah, I think it’s probably ‘Block’.”

“block?”

When Frey tilted his head at the ability he had never heard of before, Aren went into further explanation.

“To be precise, it’s ‘attribute blocking’. There are many types of this power, but… To put it simply, the young lady is currently in a state where the light attribute blocking buff is applied.”

“…then what will happen?”

While talking to Aren, Duke Hamel began to look at Dail with bloody eyes.

Aren continued to speak.

“It’s simple, light attribute magic or holy power doesn’t have a great effect on the young lady. No matter how strong a buff is, it’s obvious that it will weaken over time, but the young lady still hasn’t canceled the buff.”

“Ha, that’s bullsh*t.”

Dail, who had been quietly listening to Aren, said with a laugh.

“So now you know I’m telling Lady Luna…”

Cheak

“……?”

While talking, Dail’s right arm flew off.

“Quaaagh!!!”

“Haa… I’m sick of it.”

Duke Hamel immediately cut Dale’s arm and muttered like a madman.

“…… Spy? Ha… f*ck.”

“Go, Duke!! Oh, no! That’s Dail! Eight years at the Duke’s house…!!”

Cheak

While Dain was talking urgently, his left arm flew into the air.

“aaagh!!! Stop! Stop!”

“… I’m mad at myself and I’m going crazy.”

“Now, wait!! No, I’ll tell you!! Please! My life!!”

At those words, Duke Hamel got even more heated and began to step on Dail without mercy.

bang! bang! bang! bang! bang! bang!

“Keah! Gag!! Now… Kkeaaah!!!”

“Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?”

bang! bang! bang! bang! bang! bang!

Duke Hamel frantically stepped on Dail and began to kill him.

‘No, I didn’t even check the facts…’

Aren looked at Duke Hamel with nervous eyes.

His skin was tingling with the aura energy flowing from his body.

After watching the situation for a while, Aren said.

“Let’s do it later, the patient comes first.”

Hearing Aren’s voice, Duke Hamel turned his head and looked at Aren.

‘…Did my eyes go back?’

Madness flowed from Duke Hamel’s eyes.

Aren said in a cold sweat.

“I can solve the attribute block by myself.”

“… What about the curse?”

“Should I ask the priest?”

At Aren’s words, Duke Hamel’s bloody eyes turned to the priest.

The priest, who flinched at that gaze, spoke urgently.

“Choi, I’ll do my best…”

“Call the high priest, right now.”

“Dae, the high priest…”

The High Priestess is a high-ranking priest who belongs to the 1st and 2nd ranks in the temple.

It is not a person who can come just by calling.

However, Duke Hamel was not just anyone.

“If you don’t want to lose support, tell them to come back right away, right now!”

“yes yes!!”

At the words of Duke Hamel, the senior priest hurriedly left the room, and Duke Hamel started glaring at Dail again.

oh oh oh oh

‘You’re on the verge of an explosion.’

It’s the first time in my life that I feel like this.

Just being in the room gave me goosebumps all over my body.

Duke Hamel, who had been staring at Dail for quite a long time, turned his gaze to the knights gathered in front of the room and said.

“Throw him in jail, he must never die.”

“yes!”

The knights immediately began restraining Dail, and Duke Hamel turned his gaze to Aren.

“Thank you, I will make sure to repay this favor.”

“No, the curse still remains.”

“… Aren.”

While Aren and Duke Hamel were talking, Cecilia approached and said,

“Luna… are you okay?”

“… Judging from my eyes, it doesn’t look like you’re going to die right now?”

“… thank you.”

Upon hearing Aren’s words, Cecilia began to weep again.

Seeing this, Aren smiled and said,

“Are you crying again? Will you cry when you’re healed later?”

“… I’ll be patient.”

“Quack.”

Aren laughed lowly and turned to look at Luna lying on the bed.

‘… I honestly don’t know.’

His whole body was covered with black bruises, probably due to the curse.

I honestly don’t know how to live.

But seeing him alive in that state seemed like he wouldn’t die right now.

‘The High Priest must come soon…’

“Is the High Priestess still here!!!”

As Aren thought, Duke Hamel shouted into the hallway.

“Ji, preparing for the teleport now!”

“Still preparing!?”

“Stop, I’ll hurry!!”

‘Well, if a superior is black, he should.’

After waiting for a while, Grandpa, who really seemed to be a high priest, was running in a hurry.

“Heo-eok heo-eok, Goyan, heo-eok old man…”

“I’ve been waiting for you, High Priestess.”

Even though the grandfather, who seemed to be over 70 years old, came running panting, Duke Hamel said dryly.

“Please bless me.”

“Haa… I’ve said it before…”

“It’s different this time.”

Duke Hamel cast his gaze at Aren, as if he didn’t have time to talk any longer, and Aren nodded and went to Luna and used the shore.

Interference

sssssss

“What, what?”

When Luna’s block was removed by Aren’s interference, particles of light flowed from her body.

The High Priestess looked surprised and said, but there was no time for that now.

“Congratulations!”

“Ah! Gaia, the mother of the earth, please…”

After praying for a while, the high priest spread his hands to the sky and emitted divine power.

“blessing!”

Whoa!

When the high priest’s divine power touched Luna’s body, the curse on her reacted immediately.

saaa

‘…a black light?’

After receiving the blessing, Luna’s body began to radiate black light, and the light began to fade shortly thereafter.

“……”

“…is it done?”

When the black bruises on Luna’s body disappeared, Duke Hamel asked in a trembling voice.

Aren went straight to the shore to check Luna’s condition and said.

“Yes, what appears to be Magi is gone.”

“I-I really…”

The moment Duke Hamel tried to check again.

“Ugh.”

“…!?”

“Luna! Are you out of your mind?”

Luna Nerestia groaned as if she had come to her senses, and Cecilia called to her urgently.

“… who is this?”

“It’s me! Cecilia!”

“Lea?”

Luna looked away as if she was looking for Cecilia, but her eyesight hadn’t returned yet, so she only chased the air.

“Sorry… where are you?”

When Luna’s eyesight didn’t return, Duke Hamel glared at the high priest and said.

“What happened?”

“… The curse was definitely removed… But the body is too weak, no matter how divine power is close to a miracle, this is no longer… Kkeok!”

While the High Priestess was talking, Duke Hamel grabbed him by the collar and said.

“Don’t you know why I supported you guys? What? Can’t you heal? What the hell can you guys do!!”

“……”

“Duke, calm down!”

“Duke! High priest!”

When Duke Hamel threatened the High Priest, the knights waiting nearby rushed in and tried to separate the two.

At that time, Luna, who had been listening to the commotion, spoke.

“Brother, stop it.”

“… Luna.”

“I’m fine, just the fact that the curse is gone is something to be thankful for.”

“Keugh…”

At Luna’s words, Duke Hamel salivated as if in agony.

Luna said this time to Cecilia.

“Lia, long time no see.”

“… huh.”

“Is the academy going well?”

“……”

At Luna’s question, Cecilia was unable to answer and quietly held her hand.

‘It’s thin…’

When she was young, she was Luna, who was praised for her sword skills better than herself.

She, who had been like that, was now finding it difficult to even control herself in this small bed.

A moment came to Cecilia’s mind as she watched it.

‘If it’s an elixir…’

Elixir’s presence passed by.

However, Cecilia immediately shook her head.

‘It belongs to Aren.’

Elixir was a rare potion that was said to have no fever on the continent.

It is not an exaggeration to say that each material is virtually no longer in an endangered or dangerous area.

Asking for such a potion wouldn’t have known if Luna was in a situation where she would die, but it was difficult for Luna now to ask for it because it wasn’t that dangerous.

‘But… just once.’

As Cecilia continued her thoughts, someone tapped her on the shoulder.

tuk tuk

“…?”

When he turned his gaze toward his shoulder, he saw a hand holding Elicer.

tuk tuk

“……”

Aren slammed the elixir on Cecilia’s shoulder once again and gave Luna a chin.

Seeing this, Cecilia was filled with something in her heart and stared at Aren with an expression as if she was about to cry.

Seeing Cecilia like that, Aren began to panic as he said, ‘What’s wrong?’

Seeing Aren like that, Cecilia eventually shed tears and bowed her head deeply as she accepted the elixir.

Aren laughed and spoke in a low voice.
