54 – The evil woman threatens

Whoa!

The sword he swung cut through the air. It sounded nice to hear, but I wasn’t satisfied.

Duke Ezran, who was watching me from the side, also shook his head as if he was not satisfied.

“I don’t understand what to do.”

“⋯Put images on the sword.”

Speaking is easy. Put an image on the sword? I don’t know what the heck that means.

First of all, as you said, I chewed through many emotions. At the same time, he swung his sword.

Whoa!

But the result was the same. Subsequent attempts were the same.

‘I have to succeed quickly.’

The reason I struggled so much was to put the aura into the sword.

As is the case with all fantasy novels, there is something called ‘Aura’ in this novel. Of course, if you master it, you will become stronger.

After confirming Clie’s powerlessness, I felt like I also needed to improve, so I increased the intensity of training.

I can’t feel it at all. I asked Duke Ezran, who was standing next to me.

“Could you give me a demonstration?”

“I can’t.”

“⋯.”

Duke Ezran disappeared after saying that. Even though there was no way that the duke of a master swordsman couldn’t unleash an aura.

Eran Baslett, whom I possessed in the original novel, must also have learned Auras at a young age.

But she did not resent Duke Ezran.

Duke Ezran has no emotions. Because he hadn’t questioned me for not being able to show my aura all of a sudden.

I don’t know why. I couldn’t even guess the reason from his grave expression. Even in the original novel, Duke Ezran was not dealt with much.

Maybe he wasn’t interested in the existence of Eran Baslet. That’s because Duke Ezran wasn’t interested in everything.

Anyway. That wasn’t what mattered now. The priority was to somehow develop my own power.

Whoops!

That night was filled with the sound of my sword cutting through the cold wind.

And then I caught a cold.

* * *

“⋯⋯?”

I had no choice but to open my eyes that were about to close. Because someone was breaking into my room.

“Shael?”

It was Shael. She sat down on the chair in front of my bed, with Shael watching me intently.

I was going to rest at home today instead of going to the Azbel family.

“Why are you here?”

“You’re my fiancé, can’t we come over?”

Anyway, the selfish villainess becomes a betrothed only in this case. I laughed and told Shael.

“You may catch a cold.”

“It’s okay. I am not a weakling.”

Does that mean I’m a weakling?

There is nothing I cannot say in front of a sick person. However, he did not bruise Shael like that. ‘Cause you’ve come all along

But then, what is the reason Sael came to see me?

If it was Shael a few months ago, I wouldn’t have cared if I was sick…

‘Could it be because of the dessert?’

The dessert I gave you yesterday might not have been enough.

If I ever go wrong, Shael will never eat my dessert.

To be honest, it was a very insignificant reason, but it was because Shael liked dessert so much.

“No way, did you come because you were worried about me?”

“⋯No, go to sleep.”

That can’t be. As I expected, it seems that it came because of the dessert.

Thinking of that made Shael look disgusted as she was sitting in a chair. She was bored at the same time, so she decided to make fun of Shael.

“Coke!”

Deliberately makes a loud coughing sound. So that Shael doesn’t ignore it.

“⋯!”

“⋯Water, some water⋯⋯.”

My request would normally have been lightly ignored. But as soon as Shael heard this, she hurriedly left the room.

It was clear that he went to fetch water as I requested.

‘⋯⋯Is this good?’

My conscience is pricked, but I feel good. Thinking that the cold Shael would accept my request made her feel conquered.

Kikiiikㅡ

Shael entered her room carrying water.

Shael’s face hardened no matter how urgently he brought it. Originally, she would have brought even that with a frown on her face.

Is it really that big that you can’t eat dessert for the rest of your life?

I don’t know. Either way, it’s a good thing for me.

“⋯⋯Drink.”

“My hand is not moving.”

No one can’t move their hands just because they have a cold. So this too was false.

Of course, Sael, who was in a hurry, didn’t question this.

As I gazed at the water eagerly, Shael held the cup directly to my mouth for me to drink.

The feeling of having everything. At this point, I think I can understand Clie, who intentionally coughs in front of the male leads.

“⋯Thank you.”

“⋯.”

He didn’t forget to say thank you. What should i do next Just then, something good caught my eye.

“I want something sweet.”

It was a bonus to glance at the box on the table in the middle of the room.

Understanding my wink, Shael took her box and started taking out desserts.

“Please feed me.”

“⋯.”

Shael, who brought me water in silence earlier, looked at me with her suspicious eyes this time.

Well, no one can’t move their body just because they have a cold.

Shael only stretched out her cough before putting her question into her mouth.

“Here.”

“I want to eat that too.”

What I pointed out with a wink was a cupcake that Sael liked the most among my desserts.

Shael looked at her as if she wanted to eat it, so she chose it.

“Hey, Kiyo.”

“As expected, this is the most delicious.”

I didn’t forget the evaluation I gave to Shael, who was eagerly looking at the cupcakes.

Suddenly, the desserts were completely gone. I ate so much that my stomach hurts. She didn’t even leave a single dessert for Shael.

“I need to walk for a while.”

“⋯?”

With those words, I got out of bed. Shael just tilted her head in bewilderment.

“Aren’t you coming?”

“⋯⋯Bang, gold obviously doesn’t even move its hands⋯⋯.”

I didn’t know that I would really believe that lie. It’s not that I’ve got some kind of fatal disease.

“Eating sweets, I suddenly gain strength.”

“⋯.”

I just give Shael absurd excuses. She left her room ignoring the silent Shael. Then Shael had no choice but to follow me.

“You look upbeat.”

“It’s because my condition has improved a lot.”

Actually, even when I was in bad shape, it didn’t hurt that much. I decided to rest at home because I was a little tired and I was afraid that I would pass on a cold to Shael.

Now that Shael has come to visit, even that has become impossible…

I’m feeling much better now, so I’ll be fine. I walked down the aisle with Shael.

And while passing through the corridors of Baslet Street. Shael pointed to something and asked.

“⋯⋯ Is that?”

“This is an heirloom.”

A piece of paper with various protective magic circles intertwined and displayed. I can’t even see the contents.

“What paper is it?”

“I don’t know.”

Only once, did I ask Duke Ezran?

I couldn’t get an answer. Only cold rejection came back.

I wonder if there might be some secret swordsmanship from the family… But I couldn’t bear to ask for it.

Because I couldn’t even open my aura. It’s been over half a year since I’ve been possessed in a novel, but it’s not as easy as that.

When you passed by the heirloom and left the Baslet family’s mansion. Shael asked me.

“So. Where are you going?”

“There are places I like.”

I moved to the garden of Barslett Street. She went deep into the garden with Shael.

“⋯Why are you coming here all of a sudden?”

“We are here.”

Dense trees stretching all the way to the sky. And the flowers and grass that filled the surroundings with a warm atmosphere.

It was like a hiding place. It was a helpful place for me, who hated walking around the Baslet family’s mansion because of the somber atmosphere, but was still stuffy to be in the room.

The rocking chair in the middle was big enough for Sael and me to sit on.

“Isn’t that a great place?”

“I guess so.”

It was such a beauty that even Sael couldn’t deny it. We were silent for a while and soaked in sentiment.

It was a place that gave me new emotions every time I saw it. I don’t know why, but I think it’s better to come with Shael.

After that long review, I spoke to Shael.

“Tomorrow I will go to the Azbel family, so you don’t have to come.”

“No.”

⋯You don’t even want to meet me? Fortunately, Sael’s answer that followed was not what I expected.

“I’ll be back tomorrow too.”

Shael said that she would come, and she readily said that. Maybe the pretending to be sick today had a bigger effect than she thought.

“And.”

Shael opened his mouth again. Shael’s thought for a moment. I admired the tree and waited for it.

“If I die…”

Suddenly, bloody words. Taking my eyes off the tree, I had no choice but to focus my attention.

“⋯⋯I will kill you.”

If I die, I will kill you. It’s a contradictory yet brutal statement. Did you just pretend to be sick? I couldn’t hide my laugh and said to Shael.

“Yes. If so, I cannot die because I am afraid of you.”

It was the only answer I could give to the villain’s cute threat.
