Chapter 90

Nina now grabbed the cup with her hands, drank all the sugar water, and said, “Whew-.” After exhaling, she leaned into Adrian’s arms.

“I can walk with my legs now, but can I still rely on you, young master?”

“Anytime.”

Adrian glanced at the butler and turned his step. The butler urged the kitchen maids to keep their mouths shut and cook.

I waited at the restaurant and the food came out quickly. It was a quick egg dish and toast.

The waiter went back and forth several times to carry food. The cook, who quickly turned on the fire in the crater, was embarrassed.

“Still?”

“She’s eating alone, right?”

“Continue?”

After being repeated several times, he rolled up his sleeves and began cooking in earnest.

When the waiter finally said, “It’s all right now,” the cook put up the dessert.

Nina happily ate half a plate of apple pie for dessert. Randell’s eyes were round.

He couldn’t believe where that food was going in her body. Adrian waited silently while Nina was eating. She opened her mouth when she sighed with satisfaction after eating dessert.

“So what the hell happened.”

“That’s–.”

Nina told him about the explosion in Randell’s room, the fact that she touched the bead, and that it suddenly began to shine.

“Why would you pick it up?”

“I thought that would be fine. I didn’t know it would react with my spirit sentence. By the way, it’s gone, right?”

“That’s right.”

I can’t feel the unpleasant energy anywhere. Most of all, in the end, the terminal sound must have been clearly heard by anyone.

“The Spirit moved even though you didn’t chant?”

“Yes. It uses other people’s energy as it pleases.”

Nina looked at her arm. The shining spirit sentence became as calm as if it had never been shining like crazy.

‘And······.’

And I heard a strange sound. I heard a voice I heard in my dreams.

I couldn’t say such a thing. I can’t figure out what the hell it is, so it’s hard to organize it into words.

“Has that ever happened?”

Randell asked with a serious face, and Nina shook her head.

“No, you know the spirits lend power only when we want to. They’ve never done this before.”

“Because they’re opposites to each other, they may have been forced to express themselves upon contact.”

Randell mumbled, looking at the sentence on her wrist.

“Is this what happens all the time when you use the spirit?”

“Basically, it’s exhausting, but it’s rare to use a lot like this so suddenly. Even I know my limits.”

So normally it’s okay, Nina reassured him. But Randell turned to Adrian.

“Then isn’t this forced expression more dangerous?”

“That’s what I think.”

At Adrian’s words, Randell nodded deeply.

“According to Abesa’s research, the energy used by the Spirit, the Taruca we use, and the life force we use, are of the same source.”

Randell turned to Nina.

“Then, if you use up your energy too much, wouldn’t you use your life force?”

“But I was hungry today. I recovered a bit after eating, and that energy is also consumed but······.”

I think it was a bit different.

Nina said that and was lost in thought. Adrian scrolled the table with his fingertips at Nina’s words. Randell saw a strange sight of a cloudy shadow moving along his hand gesture.

Adrian said.

“Using spirits doesn’t make you hungry.”

“Yes, right.”

Nina nodded her head. In fact, being hungry is one thing and losing energy is another. It was the first time that this happened at the same time.

“Even when I was growing a plant. It wasn’t like this.”

I took Kirill’s medicine but didn’t complain of hunger.

Nina and Adrian’s eyes met each other. Randell tilted his head.

“So this is a special case?”

“Yes. Probably, Avesa’s research is usually right. If you use all your energy, won’t you draw out your life force? But, this time, life force was not used.” (Randell)

“Instead, I’m making up for that with what I eat? How is that possible?” (Nina)

I think it’s possible because my body is a special body created by the Spirits······.

Nina thought for a moment, thinking of the lengthy explanation, “Um-.”

“I didn’t use it, I was forced to use it. The spirit must have its own ideas.”

Nina held her chin up.

It’s not that I’m full now, but I feel that I’m just moderately full, even though, at a rough estimate, I felt like I ate 10 servings alone.

‘Really, I understand how Kirill said she wanted to dissect me.’

Randell’s expression became serious, and he got up from his seat.

“I’d better go clean up and finish my research quickly.”

“I hope you can make the box as soon as possible.”

“I think so too, Your Grace. I will do my best.”

He replied to Adrian like that and went away. Nina asked in embarrassment.

“You don’t need a box anymore, do you?”

“No, it’s really necessary.”

“Why?”

“So far, no one has been able to destroy the pieces. You know, right?

“Of course. Though I encountered a wall while thinking about that problem······. Oh.”

Nina shut her mouth.

She sighed.

“Am I going to be targeted again?”

“Yes, so we need proof that we’re just good at sealing it, not destroying the piece.”

Adrian said and warned Nina, narrowing his eyes sharply.

“Don’t say you’re going to test that power again.”

“I won’t. I don’t want to die or get sick either.”

Besides, if I wait a little longer, the saint Fiona will appear, so why would I waste myself up?

“Why do your words sound so unreliable?”

Nina replied with a grin at Adrian’s words.

“Well, perhaps because I’m always willing to go through fire and water just for you, young master.”

“Nina, don’t do it, please.”

Adrian said so and looked at Nina.

“I don’t think I can stand it twice.”

You disappearing.

Gone.

The end of this world.

Nina looked at Adrian.

She remembered Charlotte’s words.

“So I was angry.”

If Adrian did it recklessly, Nina would be very angry and heartbroken. Even if it’s for Nina’s sake.

Nina gently put both of her hands on her chest and said.

“As much as you cherish me, I will value myself.”

“Then that’s fine.”

Adrian nodded.

If she does, she will never get hurt, sick, or neglect even the tip of her hair.

Nina made a new decision and looked around the restaurant. When she made eye contact with the waiter standing behind her, he approached politely.

“Have you called?”

‘No, I was just looking around to see if there were servants waiting on us······. Now there’s always people around. We’ve brought quite a lot from Chara County. Hmm.’

If you fire so many people, won’t the mansion be doomed?

Nina thought as she asked the waiter to clean up the dishes, and the waiter stepped back. There must be another servant to clean up the dishes.

Nina whispered.

“How many people did you bring from Count Chara?”

“Nearly most.”

Adrian answered in a low voice, too. Nina opened her eyes wide in surprise.

“Most of them? How?”

Adrian replied with a wry look.

“Annual salary.”

Nina nodded deeply.

“I see. Money is the best.”

Adrian smiled quietly.

“That would be a big factor, but there must have been a great sense of betrayal.”
