“What nonsense is that? I’ll be with my sister forever.”
“Stop being delusional and face reality. Tia.”
“I’m not delusional!”
Lena sighed deeply and shook her head at Tia’s bull-like stubbornness.
“Do you think Miss Charlize really wants you? Please. Why don’t you directly ask Miss Charlize?”
Lena pushed Tia back with questions.
“I even made a promise with my sister. Sister said she would stay with me forever.”
“Okay, then ask Miss Charlize once.”
“I will. But if I’m right, you have to disappear from Sister Charlize’s side.”
“I can’t do that. Miss Charlize and I also made a promise.”
“……What kind of promise?”
“A promise to be a loyal servant to Miss Charlize.”
“There’s no reason for my sister to make such a promise with you. Don’t tell me, you are threatening my sister?”
“Threatening Miss Charlize? I admire Miss Charlize with my clean heart, Tia.”
“There is no way that my sister would like to have a servant like you. Isn’t it because you have the same face as me?”
“No way. After much discussion, Miss Charlize and I came to such a conclusion. Please don’t push me away from her. It breaks my heart.”
Lena squeezed out the tears that didn’t even want to come out and wiped them with her sleeves.
“Dark Sorcerers are a crafty race. How can I believe you? Let me tell you–”
“Tia. Are you done, too?”
At that moment, Charlize came back holding Lua’s hand and blocked Tia’s words.
“Sister, did you really accept that Dark Sorcerer as your servant? She was so fierce in the temple earlier. Her sister tried to kill you.”
“It was a misunderstanding. And Lena is different from Ellie.”
“What difference? She’s the same vile Dark Sorcerer.”
Tia continued to contradict everything that Charlize said.
It was because she didn’t trust Lena that much.
“Lena is different. Tia, you don’t believe me?”
“…That’s not true. I’m just suspicious. She’s suddenly being nice to Sister.”
“We’ve reached an agreement.”
“Agreement? What agreement?”
Tia showed curiosity about Charlize and Lena’s ‘agreement’.
Her eyes glistened as she waited for Charlize’s answer.
The answer she wanted.
“Why are you asking so many questions?”
“Of course because I’m curious! You’re my sister.”
“If anyone hears it, they’ll think as if you belong to me, Tia.”
Charlize spoke with a sigh. Tia made an affirmation at Charlize’s sighing.
“Because I belong to you.”
“You’ve never been mine, Tia.”
“Oh my, you got dumped by Miss Charlize, Tia. So sad.”
Lena teased Tia who had a tearful face. But Tia tried to deny Charlize’s words.
“No. Since I promised to be with you, I’m yours.”
“How can you come to that conclusion?”
“I don’t know.”
Tia turned her head with a stubborn attitude.
Charlize had no intention of comforting the upset Tia like a baby.
She just wanted to follow Grace’s path.
‘It may be more enjoyable for me to be a God and control the world and find freedom.’
Charlize’s golden eyes shone clearly. She felt like the dark clouds were disappearing from her dark future.
Yeah, there’s a lot of reasons for her to exist.
‘It might be quite amusing to break the plot Grace created and move the main characters at my will so they can’t find me.’
Charlize glanced at Lena and winked.
Since you’ve done this much, you have to make Tia acknowledge you by yourself.
Lena let out a short sigh after roughly understanding the meaning of Charlize’s wink.
“So, Tia, I became Miss Charlize’s servant. Please acknowledge me.”
Lena spoke to Tia pleadingly, but Tia ignored her pleading and replied.
“No. Even if my sister acknowledged you, I have no intention of acknowledging you. Because you’re the same kind as Ellie.”
“She’s a nice Dark Sorcerer, completely different from Ellie. Please don’t hate her too much.”
“Lua, please persuade Sister Charlize. Tell her how bad Dark Sorcerers are.
“I think you’d better just admit it, Tia.”
“…Why?”
“Because Charlize wants it. She acknowledged the Dark Sorcerer. Can’t you do that little favour to Charlize?”
“That’s not true, but…….”
“Then just admit it. I’m annoyed with that Dark Sorcerer, too. But I must comply to Charlize’s request.”
“Still-.”
Tia felt depressed. Because now she has one more person interrupting in her plan gaining Charlize’s affection.
Glancing at Charlize who still maintained a calm face, Tia sighed a little.
“You’ve always been so stubborn.”
Against her choice, Tia decided to accept Lena for Charlize.
Her trust for Lena was low, but it couldn’t be helped because Charlize wanted it.
“Okay. I’ll acknowledge that Dark Sorcerer, as Sister Charlize wants as your servant.”
“It’s better if you just accept it.”
Lua advised Tia as if he had already given up everything.
Tia nodded, taking Lua’s advice on her behalf.
Lena, caught in the middle of the conversation, tilted her head in bewilderment.
“Oh, you’re finally accepting me as Charlize’s servant? Wow, I’m glad.”
Lena smiled brightly and applauded.
Charlize gazed at Lena and moved the tip of her chin slightly.
She meant to end this situation now.
Lena tried to act natural and keep the current atmosphere at Charlize’s command.
“Let me introduce myself again. My name is Lena. I’m sorry that I was rude to Miss Charlize last time. I’ll apologize for that.”
At the end of Lena’s introduction, the atmosphere seemed to be taking a turn for the good.
But there was a character no one noticed.
It was Ian hiding behind a large tree, who overheard the late conversation between Lena and Charlize.
Thud, thud.
Ian walked slowly from behind the large tree and threw a sad look at Charlize.
“Charlize, are you really Grace’s reincarnation?”
The surprise appearance of Ian made Charlize open her eyes wide.
When was he hiding there?
Charlize turned and looked at Ian.
Light gray eyes resembling Lua were seen blazing with unknown fire looking at her.
Charlize tilted her head slightly to express her doubt. She could not understand how could Grace and Ian have anything to do with each other.
“How does Ian know Grace?”
“Just answer my question, Charlize. Are you really Grace’s reincarnation?”
“…Well, it’ll all be revealed one day anyway, so I’ll answer it. Yes, I’m Grace’s reincarnation. You must have heard the conversation between Lena and me.”
“I overheard it. I tried not to listen, but as soon as Grace’s name came out, I lost my mind.”
“Ian, can we talk about that separately when we get home?”
Ian gave a positive answer to Charlize’s request.
“Okay. Let’s talk about it separately when we get home.”
Tia, who suddenly again became curious about the conversation between Charlize and Ian as well as the conversation between Charlize and Lena, rolled her blue eyes.
She was thinking of a trick about how she could get into the conversation.
Tia was obsessed with the fact that there should be nothing she didn’t know about Charlize, so she wanted to hear what conversation she had with Lena and who this ‘Grace.’ Ian was talking about.
‘How can I make Sister to tell me the story of Grace and the conversation she had with Lena?’
Tia intended to play tricks on Charlize so that she could get more information about her sister.
However, she couldn’t think of any countermeasures.
So when Charlize was looking at Ian, Tia sent a rescue signal to her partner, Lua.
“Lua.”
Tia tapped Lua’s back with her index finger in a very small voice.
Lua slipped his head down at Tia’s call.
I want to hear what my sister talked about with them. Please help me.
Tia said so in the shape of her mouth to Lua. Lua nodded without saying anything, as he perfectly understood the shape of Tia’s mouth.
And immediately, Lua sandwiched himself between Charlize and Ian.
“If it’s Grace, isn’t she your first love?”
When Lua asked Ian deftly, Ian replied truthfully.
“The reincarnation of Grace is Charlize. That’s an interesting story. Can I listen to it with you?”
“Father knows my story, so it doesn’t matter if you listen.”
Tia felt relieved for Lua’s help.
If Tia had whined to let Charlize tell her everything, she would have been hated by Charlize. Now her partner Lua looked pleasant today.
‘What a reliable partner.’
However, she couldn’t help but wonder if Lua and her partnership should be continued in the long run.
The partnership between a Saintess who protects the world and saves people, and the Great Devil who takes away the evil energy of people and kills them.
It was a combination that doesn’t mix perfectly, but Tia was just amazed at how their ideals mixes perfectly now.
Tia’s hard face soon turned into a smile at Lua’s performance.
Tia has never been able to properly hid her feelings since she was young.
It was the same now too.
