Kaius took a deep breath.
There was only one reason why Kaius was able to keep his mind in spite of the burning pain.
‘hand….’
His hazy gaze descended gently. Leverticia’s hand gripped his hand tightly.
“What do you think? Can you take some control?”
“… yes.”
Kaiers answered in a low voice. It was honestly a lie. It felt like hundreds of sharp spears running wild inside my body.
At the moment, I had no idea how to control my abilities.
‘Damn father.’
I’ll teach you how to use your abilities right away. What if I die alone like that?
Whenever he felt pain, he poured out his disgruntled discontent in his head. And he grabbed Leverticia’s hand tightly.
“hurt?”
“yes….”
“Hold on.”
Her voice was very firm. But Kairs could feel it. ‘I’m trembling.’
The hand holding it trembled slightly. He was a guy who didn’t tremble at
all when he was imprisoned, when he nearly died in a cave, or when he was fighting monsters in poor conditions.
I was afraid. because of yourself.
‘… Would you be crazy if I said that I like you for some reason?’ You must be crazy because it hurts He drew his own conclusions.
In the meantime, the steadily accumulating pain gradually clouded my consciousness.
The sensation of his fingertips, which had been holding onto his mind, began to dull. it’s over the limit.
‘I want to be comfortable.’
I wanted to lose consciousness. At that moment, I instinctively felt that
something big was going to happen. The red spears running wild inside her body seemed to pierce through.
But now…. “Kai.”
“….”
“Kyers. Answer me!”
She brought the glass of water from Jesse to his lips and tilted it. However, since he had already lost his energy, the water could not go down his neck and flowed down his chin.
‘Just give up and stay away.’
Kaiers wanted to convey even these words. If you fall down and start a runaway… I don’t think he’ll be the only one who suffers.
He squeezed his last force and slapped my hand away. It was such a weak force that it was ridiculous to even say that it had been struck.
It was when Kaius gave up everything and closed his eyes. squeak—
Cold water rushed into his mouth and ran down his throat. The faint sensation slowly awakened again.
At the same time, instead of a hard, cold glass of water, I felt a soft and warm touch on my lips.
‘what….’
The moment he opened his eyes weakly, his mind flashed like a person drenched in water.
“Uh-huh, what are you doing!” “Are you awake?”
Kaiers closed his eyes.
are you awake? heard right I was so excited that I couldn’t get more than this.
It was pain, it was naval, and it evaporated from my head, and only the situation just before replayed in my mind.
My head was pounding more than when I was slapped in the back by Rebertisha telling me to calm down.
“Lee, Rep, Letty. you. Now, with your mouth….”
“yes.”
“Are you crazy?!”
“I think it was you who came to his senses.”
Leverticia pointed to the shadow that was burning red below him. The shadow gradually faded from red to normal light.
“…!”
Kyus hurriedly rubbed my chest.
The boiling pain from before disappeared in an instant. “How is this…?”
“ha. I guess I’ve absorbed my abilities properly now. If I had known it would be like this, I would have just poured water first.”
“Did this really happen? I’ve been so sick for hours, but my mouth-ah, no. You mean it’s all at once? Does it make sense?”
“Aren’t you supposed to ask your head, not me, whether it makes sense or not?”
Kaiers shut his mouth.
It was true, so I couldn’t resist. It’s all the fault of your own brain. Only, only her teeth, her mouth….
“….”
“Your face turned red again. I seem to have a fever. Are you starting to get sick again?”
“no. It’s not like that-”
“Would you like some more water?”
At Leverticia’s words, Kaiers shrugged.
When he glanced around, he saw that the users who had been gathering like a cloud near the door until now had suddenly gone out like low tide and the door was closed.
… They were incredibly quick-witted people.
“… uh.”
Kaius nodded cautiously.
Leverticia poured water into an empty glass of water and handed it to him.
“ruler.”
“….”
Kaiers rubbed his forehead. She was, after all, the only person in the house who had a clue about it.

“Ugh. My head hurts like it’s going to break.”
It wasn’t until late afternoon that Patrick got up from the bed, grabbing his throbbing hair.
Last night, after seeing Leverticia and Kaius trapped in a collapsed cave, I was so excited that I drank alcohol all morning and slept and slept like this.
My stomach and head hurt from the hangover, but I still laughed out loud. “Where should I read the newspaper?”
Patrick opened the newspaper with excitement.
The morning papers were full of reports of last night’s massive earthquake
—probably because a cave had collapsed—and a large number of chaos roaming the forest.
There was no word written about Leverticia.
“Ttttttt, newspaper bastards. It’s only because the power of information is so slow.”
Patrick didn’t think much of it. It happened yesterday morning, so it would be difficult to figure out right away in the morning.
‘We can wait for the evening or outside news.’ After eating, he went back to his room.
I was planning to collect the large sum of money I received yesterday and play cards with my friends until I hear the exciting news.
‘If you hear the news that they are dead, the warlocks will give you the other half of the pay, and if Duke Valtail disappears, there will be no one to stop the invasion of Selsior, so if you go and get some money….’
Patrick opened the door with a smirk in his pleasant imagination.
At that moment, the dark shadow behind the door quickly swept over him. “Ouch! Suck!”
The assailant who attacked him put a cloth straight into his mouth to prevent him from screaming. Patrick’s eyes, terrified, soon saw a familiar white hem.
“Hello, Patrick. Long time no see.”
“Oops…! Oops!”
“why? Were you surprised that someone you thought was dead came back alive? But don’t get bored this time. It smells.”
Leverticia approached slowly and sat down on the rocking chair next to him.
Already in her hand was a thick sack of money that Patrick had received from his dealings with the warlocks.
Leverticia raised the corners of her lips and smiled.
“Are you rich? When I counted the amount inside, it was higher than most drivers’ salaries, but I’m really envious. I wonder where you came from, but?”
“Suck…!”
“ah. And by the way, I almost died from being attacked by the warlocks last night? They used Rudel to set traps. Seriously, who the hell didn’t know that I was very weak to my brother? Usually, they thought they were insulated because I didn’t stop by the Celciers.”
With every word Leverticia spit out, Patrick’s face turned blue and he was contemplating.
She waved her hand to Barton, the man who was holding down Patrick.
“Barton. Sorry, did you see that you are choking? And I’m curious what you’re going to talk about, so let’s talk about it.”
“But if you let it go, the mansion will scream for you to leave.”
“Then you can just rip it off right away.”
“Hub-up!”
Patrick was terrified and took a deep breath.
Barton pulled the rag from his mouth while licking his tongue. Instead, a sharp sword was placed directly under his neck.
Patrick opened his mouth and made excuses right away.
“Lee, Leh, Leverticia. I don’t know anything. please forgive me I, just!”
“yes? what? I haven’t said anything yet.”
“ah….”
Patrick shut his mouth again. At the end of the day, I was scared and stabbed myself, and I almost blew it all out.
Patrick shouted in an anxious voice, pretending to be unfair for nothing.
“Yeah, but then why did you come in here! Why are you doing this to me!”
“Ah, that’s it. I have a question. Did my husband say that the Duke of Valtale already paid you all my debts?”
“Oh, that-!”
“So I searched your room and found a legal document stating that I had paid off all my debts along with a pocket of all this money.”
Patrick bit his lip.
Stupidly, I was surprised by the news that Rebertisha had returned alive and had forgotten about it.
Leverticia narrowed her eyes and glared at him.
“But why do you keep circling around Celsière and fucking-no, nonsense?” “Hey, that’s because I need money….”
“money? There must be inheritances you have already received, and there must be money to pay off debts, so where are you going to spend it?
“Crab, in the game room….”
“… stupid child.”
It is said that he forgot all his money to gamble, and threatened Celsière because it was not enough. The father was also addicted to gambling, and so was the son.
Leverticia has dedicated her life to earning that money, and they earn it so easily and expend it quickly.
“I know it’s embarrassing,” said Patrick, lowering his head.
“Yeah, yes! Anyway, that’s it! I’m not going to pay off debt anymore! Even if I die in the future, I won’t visit Celsior… You too, please don’t appear in front of me even if you die a little!”
“I’m sorry, but that must be difficult.”
Leverticia said while fiddling with the decorative buttons on the cuffs of her uniform.
“It’s true. While I was scouring your room for this deed, I found another strange thing along with this bag of gold coins.”
“Hey, isn’t it strange?”
Leverticia grinned and pulled a letter out of her arms. A blue rose pattern was drawn on the outside of the blue colored envelope.
“What does the blue rose mean… You don’t know, huh?”
“Oh no! That, that!”
“Even when I read the contents, it was said that they were trying to get in touch with each other and cause disturbance in the Imperial Palace. If you use this as evidence, it’s a trial, you know what’s the death penalty, right?”
“You’re just going to be summarily executed here, Commander?”
Barton took the sharp sword closer and placed it just below his neck. Patrick exclaimed in embarrassment.
“Come on, wait a minute, Leverticia. Well, that’s not mine! What I received had a blue rose pattern on the inside of the stationery, and besides, it wasn’t a disturbance in the Imperial Palace, it was just a question about your weaknesses! Even that I already burned….”
“Aha.”
tock.
Leverticia once again fiddled with the buttons on her cuffs.
Then, the same words that Patrick had just said flowed out through the magic green jewel disguised as a button embellishment.
Leverticia smiled.
“What if? It might be a real death sentence.”
