Leverticia looked around, confused.
The surroundings were similar to the scenery around the lake before she fell into that strange subspace, but it was very different.
It was the first time that the lake, which was in good shape, was running out of water.
‘Is it possible that we disappeared and drained all the water to find it?’ It couldn’t be.
It was an absurd assumption.
How big is this lake, and the water is drained out in just two or three days? Even though I did that, there were a lot of strange things.
The water would have receded two days ago at the most, but the bottom of the lake could never have been so barren and dry.
‘What happened to the Warlocks? The base exploded at the end, so are they all dead in the end? Or Barton came in late and took over….’
Rebertisha’s body, who had been thinking up to that point, shook violently. “ah. damn.”
It was because he had spent too much energy to destroy the subspace a
while ago. Once I thought I had to get out of here, I poured all my energy into the sword.
It felt like all the blood had drained out of my body. He didn’t even have the energy to stand any longer.
In the end, her body staggered and then slumped forward. It was ‘near’ to go down.
‘ah.’
Someone grabbed her waist as she fell from behind. “who….”
Leverticia wanted to ascertain who was holding her, but her body refused to listen.
“… Leverticia.”
The person holding her whispered softly. It was a familiar voice and body type.
“… yes.”
At the familiar whisper, Leverticia closed her eyes without resistance.
*
‘Again. Again.’
After waking up from fainting, Leverticia sighed inwardly as if complaining.
‘You’re going to faint again.’
It was the first time I had passed out so often in such a short period of time.
No, long ago, when I was taken underground during a war in a foreign country, I often fainted and woke up while being tortured.
Thinking about that moment, Leverticia swallowed her saliva. He regained consciousness, but his eyes had not yet opened.
I fainted When I first opened my eyes, it wasn’t the first time I had been in a very strange place.
After waking up after fainting not so long ago, didn’t he wake up in a subspace where time stood still?
So this time, she made up her mind before she even opened her eyes. Where are you this time? It’s not a place where time stands still.
Or, they are buried under that lake.
I wouldn’t be surprised if I woke up tied up in the middle of a warlock’s base.
After she had made up her mind, she opened her eyes. “… uh.”
Leverticia let out a blank exclamation without knowing it.
What unfolded in front of me was a bright room. I looked out the half-open window and saw a lush garden. The place she was lying on was on a white, neat bed.
There was also a towel next to who had been nursing until recently. It was a clean and beautiful bedroom that was well maintained.
Leverticia looked at the scenery with a blank look, then raised her hand to pinch the cheek again. But, realizing that my hand wasn’t moving as I
wanted it to, I looked at my hand, “This….”
Her white wrists were wrapped in silver handcuffs. It was light, so it was not uncomfortable, and the attached string was quite long, but it was handcuffs anyway.
‘No, why is this in my hand?’
There is someone else who wears handcuffs, so why did you put them on me?
She pulled the handcuffs with a bewildered look on her face. But the handcuffs didn’t budge.
“It’s no use.”
With a loud bang and the sound of the door opening, someone stepped into the room one step at a time.
Leverticia’s pink eyes widened as she faced the approaching person.
“It is made of the dragonix metal that our ancestors used to hunt dragons. never get out of it.”
He said as he sat down by the bedside of her.
No matter what he said, nothing came into Leverticia’s ears.
The man in front of him was looking down at him with a cold arsenic. The man with the dry eyes that seemed to burn everything.
“… leader?”
Leverticia muttered in a dazed voice. Her boss, teacher, and friend.
‘Uh, how are you here….’
When she opened her eyes, her resolve to not be surprised no matter what happened was broken.
I had no choice but to do so. Who wouldn’t be surprised when the dead came back alive?
Contrary to her in shock, the man in front of her still had a lofty gaze. “So, what are you?”
He reached out and touched her chin lightly.
“What kind of black magic trick is this again?” “… Black magic?”
“okay. Did human cloning magic succeed? Or did you even resurrect it?” “what….”
Leverticia narrowed her eyes at his words, which she didn’t understand at all. The man’s brow furrowed slightly at her bewildered reaction.
‘different. A little different.’
The first time we met, I couldn’t turn my head properly due to bewilderment, but when I looked again, the man was different from the dead Duke.
Red hair, scarlet eyes.
A perfect appearance as if God had carved it out of a piece.
Although the appearance and feeling of the aura were almost the same, there was a definite difference in personality and tone of voice.
This kind of rough and sleazy personality is rather… The other person came to mind.
The man clicked his tongue as if it was ridiculous.
“what the. If you’re going to make a trap with that guy’s face, you can tell him something properly and send it.”
He said, stroking Leverticia’s bright silvery-white hair.
“They look exactly the same, but it’s only by sending a nerdy guy like this. I want to be deceived, but I cannot be deceived.”
“Ulpa? Have you finished talking now?” Leverticia muttered in a moment of exasperation.
Even if the person in front of me was a real dead former Duke of Valtail, I couldn’t stand to insult me for being stupid.
When she sarcastically, the man stopped his hand that was stroking his hair in surprise.
“… Letty?”
“Who are you, no. Who are you, please call me by my first name.” Leverticia fixed her words.
He didn’t know what it was, and his wrists were in damned handcuffs.
It’s annoying, but in this case, you shouldn’t go against the heart of the other person as much as possible. Besides, that man was so sensitive that he had the energy to kill anyone if it bothered him.
Separating the place to be used well. It was one of her long survival secrets. “you….”
Usually, when this kind of situation comes, everyone was taken aback by her actions that change like flipping the palm of their hand.
But the man was different.
He shrugged his eyes as if in shock. “… The real Letty, are you?”
So, you ask, who are you?
Leverticia stared at him with dissatisfied eyes.
I was talking about black magic earlier, is it possible to become a warlock?
‘Ah, maybe the warlocks resurrected him? Or even the magic of cloning a new appearance….’
Leverticia, who had been thinking up to that point, felt a strange sense of déjà vu.
This guess was the same as the line the man in front of me just said.
The man looked at Leverticia over and over again, then smirked and slowly covered my face with his hand.
“… Nonsense. How could you be just like him? Is it really a clone?”
“I have similar thoughts, but shall we first take off our handcuffs and talk?”
“Are you trying to subdue me the moment you release the handcuffs and run away?”
How did know.
Leverticia turned her head in regret and clicked her tongue. The man reacted visibly to each of her petty actions.
The cold, standing man’s expression began to distort little by little. “Beep, beep-”
“Ah, blackbird.”
She turned her head to the familiar cry from one side of the room. It was the sound of her uniform coat lying neatly on the side table right next to the bed.
Her white uniform had been washed clean. ‘By the way, when did I change my clothes?’
The uniform he was wearing was stained with blood and dust, so he had to change it, but it was unavoidable that he felt uncomfortable.
The man tilted his head and spit.
“When I was washing, there was nothing in the uniform.” “I must have been hiding. Our blackbirds are hiding well.”
“Black? It must have been black because it was black. With a sense of name.”
“….”
I was angry, but it was true, so I couldn’t resist. Rebertisha ignored the unlucky Red’s words and tucked her hands inside the uniform coat.
The handcuffs were long enough, so the act was not difficult.
Wriggling from the inside pocket of her uniform coat, Black crawls out of her hand.
“what. It really was.”
“Because it is. Oh, black man. You must not eat it.”
Blackbird was holding her handkerchief in her mouth. Leverticia took the handkerchief from Blackie’s mouth.
The moment I thought I had safely pulled it out of Blackie’s mouth, the man swung her handkerchief away.
“What are you doing? Give it to me.” “….”
The man no longer spoke. He just stared blankly at her handkerchief.
He tried to take the handkerchief again, but Leverticia, blocked by handcuffs, growled.
“Give it up!” “Letty.”
The man said, stroking the embroidery on the handkerchief. “Leverticia. That’s the name of this flower.”
“… how did you know? Who are you?”
It was a fact that even the former Duke of Baltail did not know. All I know is Rudel and her and her parents. and….
The man opened his mouth to her with a smile that he did not know whether he was laughing or crying.
“Have you forgotten your husband?”
thanks! aaahhh! FINALLY, the momebt i have been waiting for! when they both realise that the other is the real one ahahaha
