When He received the news from the owner at the gathering of the employees of the mansion.
Moros was stunned.
He had always had a feeling that something was missing, but it turned out that all of their memories were gone.
Especially the memories of Louise Blissias, the current hostess of the Grand Duchy.
Callion was the first to notice.
Moros first witnessed Callion’s desperate appearance that day.
The more he thought about it, the more unfamiliar it was.
The more he thought about it, the more strange it was. The man who usually showed no emotion, except in front of her, broke down in tears while searching for her.
And so it went on for a year.
For more than 365 days, Callion lived in sorrow.
“She’ll remember ……, there’s no way she won’t.”
“I feel the same way.”
“She’s a great wizard.”
“Yes. she is the third powerful man of the present century to be named in the Tower of Wizards Hall of Fame.”
Your Excellency has a magical power comparable to that of a pure-blooded human being.
Moros finished speaking, sounding really proud.
“I believe there is no such thing as perfect magic in the world. It’s very likely Louis used it in some way, or that she deliberately shed some wavelengths somewhere, just in case.”
Callion stiffened quickly.
He set aside his sadness and made himself think logically and start the search seriously.
“From the Academy to the countryside, search every place and object that could provide evidence. Bring it to me as soon as you detect any trace of Louis’s magic.”
“Understood.”
Bowing low, Moros quickly made his way down the stairs.
Callion, on the other hand, spent a few more minutes in place watching Louise and turned his back slowly.
“‘Louise.”
He’d expected it, but she really didn’t remember anything.
She even turned to him with tears in her eyes.
Who needs to be crying right now?
“Let’s give it a shot.
Calion gritted his teeth as he passed through the hallway.
This was going to be a long fight.
Louis, the archmage of a year ago, and Louis, the lesser mage of today.
Calion, who knew both of them well.
“Krrrr-.”
While he was lost in thought, he heard the cry of a beast.
Calion looked down at him who stood up on his tiptoes, unfazed.
“Go to your mother, Dante.”
* * *
Callion thinks she was sleeping.
“Did he go?”
Actually, she wasn’t sleeping. she was awake more than anyone else.
“Ah……”
Ouch. Aah!
“You’re crazy, Louise Bartlett!”
She tossed and turned in bed, clutching her head in frustration.
She pretended to sleep because she was embarrassed.
She couldn’t bring herself to turn her back on him, so she pretended to be asleep again.
“Why did I do that?”
“What the hell is wrong with him, huh?”
After she was done crying, She was so confused.
She rolled up the blanket and buried her face in it like she had her nose in a dishtowel, but it didn’t help.
She was embarrassed. And maybe even humiliated.
“What does he mean, I lost my memory?”
She didn’t understand him.
“Sign.”
‘So what’s going on here?’
‘Callion must have misunderstood.’
The fact that he’d come to her out of the blue, bringing up memories she didn’t remember, was proof that he must have confused me with someone else.
Otherwise, there would be no child between us. We’ve never even held hands.
“No, we’re not. I need to clear this misunderstanding.”
She doesn’t know who he was madly in love with and married to, but he’ve got the wrong number.
Surprisingly, She was still single with a bright future ahead of her.
She can’t be taken by her first love and then have her marriage plans messed up like this!
All she had to do was get married and have kids!
She hurriedly slipped out from under the blankets and hit her feet.
“Crrrrr!”
“Ugh, surprise!”
Kudangtang!
Before she could even get out of bed, her body fell backwards.
Something the size of a human head slammed into her chest.
“Kwaang!”
She froze and awkwardly raised her hands.
“Sah, help me.”
“Krrrrrr!”
She felt hot breath on the back of her neck like someone was licking it.
Ma, ma, ma, ma, oh, God.
She looked at him, even as her body went limp.
The blackened back. A spindly tail, with tiny flames breathing out of it.
“A lizard?
No lizard can’t breathe fire unless it’s a demon.
More importantly, how did it get into this room?
“Crawl, crawl!”
The lizard spread its wings wide.
Yes, this one has wings.
She was in a trance, crushed under the bed.
Am I going to get eaten?
“Squeak! Crouch!”
It was too late to escape.
Except for the piercing eyes, it was a small, black mass, incredibly heavy, hot.
It was licking her neck and cheeks with all the energy it could muster.
And it can smell her.
She wonder if it means it wants to eat her.
Her vision was spinning.
She closed her eyes again and said goodbye to herself.
Then it happened.
“You shouldn’t hug your mom just because you’re happy to see her.”
“……?”
“Dad’s waiting for you, go play.”
She heard a low, tinkling voice and a scrawny lizard floated out of thin air.
Or, more accurately, two large hands appeared and grabbed the lizard, pulling it away from her.
“Krrrrr! Krrrrrr!”
“No use getting angry, come here.”
“…….”
“Listen to your dad, Dante. I told you to go see your mom, not to go fuck yourself.”
“…… Keying.”
The growling stopped.
The lizard, now fully held in both hands.
“Kink, kink!”
“Huh…….”
She stared at the scene in disbelief.
When she finally let out the breath she’d been holding in surprise, Callion asked slowly.
“Are you okay?”
There was no way She was okay. She was scared to death.
“Dante has a habit of licking me when he feels like it. I came to tell you, and here he is.”
he said he was just happy to see her and jumped at her, but he also wanted her to understand.
She couldn’t understand.
Even if the lizard had a name, he wouldn’t be so happy to see her.
“What’s……?
She said, and the lizard caught her again.
Unable to resist, Calion pulled the lizard away from her.
He picked it up and held it in his arms in a familiar way like he was handling a baby.
It wasn’t long before Calion reached out to see if she was hurt.
“Maybe a cut from the scales.”
“Ouch.”
“Are you …… crying?”
She took back what she said about being embarrassed. No, she was still embarrassed, but this was beyond her control.
She couldn’t be that sad.
she heard everything he just said.
Now what was he going to say?
“Mommy? How are you?
That lizard, said to her?
“What”.
“No way. Please tell me I’m dreaming.”
“The son you said we had. Oh, wasn’t that a person or a lizard?”
“……?”
Oh my God. Look at that confused face. It’s the face of someone who’s just been told why the sky is blue.
“Louis. Wait.”
He reaches out in a panic, finally realizing something was wrong, but it’s too late.
No wait!
She heard the sound of something cracking in her head.
The only thing holding on to her sanity was crumbling away.
“Did I…… give birth to a lizard……?”
