The Fake Wants to Leave

They prayed for someone to find them, who had disappeared in the shadows.

They prayed in their hearts.

May Charlize find themselves trapped in the dark.

Funny, they hoped it would be Charlize, their enemy, who would help them, not Tia, their angel.

Like fools.

Ellie went down to the cellar of the house where she had been staying with Tia and whispered to the girl who looked exactly like Tia in the coffin.

“Lena, there’s not much time left. I can save you now. Finally, I got two more ‘catch’ today. You have to live long if you survive this time, okay?”

Ellie had a look of madness in her eyes.

The madness to save her sister who had died.

“If it hadn’t been for that damn Lady Charlize, I could have saved Lena right now.”

Ellie was furious at the mere thought of Charlize.

She was annoyed when her plan suddenly went wrong.

Still, when she saw her sister Lena, all the irritation went away.

“Ah, my lovely sister. Please live long time this time.”

Ellie laughed and shed tears at the same time like a madwoman.

Tears for her sister.

“If you survive this time, let’s go to a macaron restaurant that we couldn’t go to last time. Lena.”

Ellie placed her hand on Lena’s pale cheek, who was lying in the coffin.

And gently caressed it.

Like touching something very precious.

Ellie had approached Tia for Lena, pretending to have done her a favour.

Although Tia ran away with her without knowing the reason because of her unusual crush on Charlize, Ellie brought Tia here to perform black magic on her (Tia) so that she could save her sister Lena.

And she took the bait.

‘Oh, talking about bait.’

There were two more fish that she had just caught.

Two noble men were bound by darkness she made.

Ellie started laughing like a madwoman again.

“Everything is working out really well.”

No matter how much she hates them, Lady Charlize will surely go looking for the two when she realises that they have been kidnapped somewhere.

Ellie glanced at Lena, then left the cellar and started looking for Tia and Charlize.

She only needed to act a little for tears to pour out.

Ellie briefly recalled the sadness of losing Lena and began her act.

Then she began to cry and look through the island.

Charlize entered the house of the lame man, who asked them to save his wife’s life with Tia on tail.

The dense terrible smell stimulated Charlize’s sense of smell, but she maintained her lofty manner as if she could smell nothing.

Tia seemed used to the stench, too.

She stepped into the man’s house without frowning once.

The man begged Tia, showing his wife lying on a cheap bed.

“Lady, please save my wife….”

Tia actually wondered along the way if she could save the wife of the man who was about to die.

Then Tia glanced at Charlize.

What was she thinking for doing this?

Is there a countermeasure?

It won’t be a lie to say that Tia is almost out of divine power now.

It was because she healed more people today than usual.

Tia already knew that she could not save anyone who would die soon with her lack of divine power, but she fell for Charlize’s temptation and came to the patient’s house again.

‘So, what are you going to do now?’

Tia looked at Charlize with a slightly uneasy look.

Charlize, who received Tia’s anxious gaze, took out the will given by Eugene.

It was a will full of the divine power of the late Duchess of Rebecca, or the Saintess of the Evansky Empire.

Tia, who had no idea of the existence of the will, only felt strange seeing Charlize pulling out a bunch of paper.

‘What is Sister going to do with the paper?’

Tia thought, rolling the question in her blue orbs.

Charlize kindly explained the importance of the papers briefly in a low voice that only Tia could hear.

“Listen carefully, Tia. This paper is Mother’s will. This will is full of Mother’s divine power. To the point where I can save myself even if I die several times.”

“…wait, how many times have you died?”

“That’s not what’s important now. Tia. It’s more important to save the man’s wife.”

“But.”

“Tia. Make a wish to save my life.”

“…wi, wish? To save Sister? What are you talking about, Sister?”

“This will seems to grant the wishes of any member of my family, except me. Of course, it seems to consist of only things that can be done with divine power. You are of the same blood as the Duke of Rebecca, so this will work on you. Come on, make a wish. Tia.”

“Cough!”

“Miss!”

The woman on the bed threw up blood as Charlize handed Tia the will, staring at the man’s dying wife.

“I’ll die with the patient in front of you while doing that. Don’t lose your mind and make a wish to save me when that happens. Come on.”

Tia thought that she should listen to Charlize, so she took away the will from Charlize and hugged it to her bosom.

‘I’m not sure if my wish will really come true, but my sister is not a person who doesn’t lies.’

The fact that Charlize was too honest didn’t sit well with Tia.

As soon as Tia held the will, Charlize lifted her dagger high in a familiar manner and stabbed herself in the heart without hesitation.

Cough.

Charlize also spewed blood from her mouth like that sick woman.

Tia’s face turned white when she saw Charlize’s dying face.

Charlize shouted softly at Tia, who was standing like a fool.

“Come on, make a wish!”

“Please save my sister.”

Hwaaak!

Charlize’s body, which shone in the will and fell on the woman, was surrounded by white light.

As a bonus, the woman below her seemed to come alive as well.

Charlize finally understood the meaning and characteristics of this will.

The deceased mother, or the deceased previous Duchess, wanted Charlize to live in the Duke’s residence for the rest of her life as a doll.

The feeling was similar to a strange obsession, not true love.

Charlize gave a disheartened laugh and thought for a moment, ‘Should I tear this damn will apart?’

‘If I have that will, I will not go back to reality but live in this impoverished role of harem game for the rest of my life.’

‘Damn it.’

Charlize rose from top of the woman and casually wiped the blood around her mouth with the back of her hand.

“Thank you, Tia, the woman lived.”

Tia opened her eyes wide, wondering what the hell she was talking about, and alternately looked between Charlize and the will.

“Sister… There’s a lot of blood on your dress.”

“It’s all right. I’m fine as long as I’m alive.”

Tia couldn’t let go of her hands holding the will.

Her beloved sister almost died because of her stupid behavior.

The fact alone shocked Tia quite a bit.

What the hell is this will?

Why did she try to kill herself?

Nothing made sense in Tia’s head.

Tia felt a strange feeling of alienation from Charlize.

Meanwhile, the man fell flat on his stomach and thanked Tia.

“……thank you.”

The man breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his wife breathing evenly.

Then Charlize said, staring at the man.

“Now I should heal you.”

“…Wh, what are you talking about? Well, I’m all right.”

“Your leg looks uncomfortable.”

“Oh, no. I’m fine. I don’t care if my legs are crippled as long as my wife is alive.”

Charlize looked at the man pitifully and tried to convince him.

“Really? This is a rare opportunity to repair your leg. Don’t you want to go on a picnic with your wife? With two fine legs?”

The man was encouraged by Charlize’s sharp tone.

For some reason, when Charlize put herself in the man’s shoes, only harsh words came out.

Trying to carry everything on your own, he looks so much like herself.

Charlize gave orders indifferently to Tia.

“Tia. Heal this man, too. This is an order, not my request. I’m used to death, so it’s okay. So keep wishing for me to be alive. At least that damn will in your arms will be a little useful.”

“Are you going to die again?”

“Tia, don’t worry. With that will, I’ll never die.”

“I can’t see you bleeding and falling down twice.”

“As you can see, I am alive and breathing.”

When Charlize looked at those two frustrating humans, she felt sick.

Quickly, she grabbed the dagger with both hands and thrust it into her heart once more.

Eueuk.

The pain had been felt not once but many times before, but Charlize familiarly swallowed it.

She fell down with a dagger stuck in her heart, and held the man’s lame leg.

Tia was also forced to make a wish with the will of Charlize, who was about to die.

“Save, Charlize…….”

At that moment, once again, the light appeared on the will, and at the same time, Charlize’s body shone.

The man’s leg that Charlize had been holding on to.

“huh!”
