The man burst into tears, and his face was whiter than snow. Tears streamed down his cheeks and trickled down to his chin. But he didn’t seem to realize he was crying. He wasn’t embarrassed and didn’t wipe away his tears.
Yurina, embarrassed by the stranger’s sudden tears, stared at him. The man approached her. Yurina backed away, but soon the man caught her by the wrist.
His purple eyes filled with tears now turned to Yurina. Yurina looked into strangely familiar purple eyes and yanked her hand away.
“Sir Aaron!”
Turning to the knight, she couldn’t find other words.
Obviously, the scenery in the forest was still the same, but moments before, the knights and maids accompanying her had disappeared from view.
Yurina had experienced this before.
‘The Magic of dividing space.’
However, it was a little strange that she couldn’t feel the flow of mana. Even in the Crohn Realm, after experiencing space division magic, she clearly felt the flow of mana. Given that she had delved deeper into magic than then, she must have sensed something.
‘Is it possible that he’s a more talented mage than then?’
As soon as she thought about it, Yurina rushed back from the person and fumbled around. She had already done it once, and thought she would succeed now.
Shortly after, she groped for the wall, gathered her mana in her hand, and tried to force a breach, but the man who approached quickly grabbed her arm. Even though he didn’t call back his Space Dividing Spell, the prepared mana in his hand suddenly crumbled. Obviously, it was his will.
“Take it easy. I didn’t mean to harm you.”
“You’re using space division magic without my consent, and I have to trust you?”
“Really, I want to speak to the young lady, but I don’t think I can do it with an escort.”
Yurina roughly pushed his hand away.
However, his words that he didn’t intend to harm her turned out to be true, and the man retreated.
“It is only natural for an escort to protect me from strangers. If you want to talk, you have to ask the family to have a formal meeting, not like this.”
“Sorry. I’m unfamiliar with the manners of aristocrats.”
“If so, cancel this magic immediately. Or should I break the barrier myself?”
“I’ll cancel it in a second. But I want to ask you one thing.”
There was no talk of any kind.
Yurina once again gathered her mana into her hand and walked along the barrier.
The man insistently exclaimed:
“Is it true that we’ve never met?”
Yurina laughed.
“Right. But even if we met, such rudeness is unacceptable.”
Yurina dispelled her mana and looked at the man again.
“But what family did you come from?”
While there was a conflict with Sir Aaron, she didn’t bother to ask for his name. At that moment, she felt that Sir Aaron’s behavior of being overly vigilant was wrong. Now everything was different. Such behavior has crossed the border of banal rudeness.
Besides, it was magic. It’s terrible to imagine how this could end. Yurina wasn’t going to be nice to him any further.
The man kept his mouth shut. Then Yurina decided to push.
“I’m from the Marquis Carthia house. Insulting me is like insulting the Carthia family. This will not end with my displeasure. We will protest at the family level.”
The very name of the Carthia family put pressure on people. As soon as he heard that name, the man’s purple eyes trembled.
“Carthia…”
Before Yurina even asked his name one more time, he asked the question:
“Are you Yurina Carthia?”
Yurina wasn’t surprised that he knew her name. In the secular circles of the capital, there were quite a few people who didn’t know the name of the daughter of the Carthia family.
When Yurina nodded slightly, he curled his lips slightly. Perhaps he regretted his actions?
And again, when she tried to open her mouth to ask his name, the man bowed politely to her and said:
“I apologize.”
At the same time, Yurina felt the mana scattered around her. The figure of a man instantly disappeared, and then a roar was heard.
“Milady!”
Betsy rushed over to Yurina, who had disappeared moments before.
“Something happened again!”
She grumbled with a tear-stained face. Yurina called out to Sir Aaron, who was still holding his sword at the ready.
“Sir Aaron, do you remember the face of this man?”
“Yes.”
“Please find out who this man is and quickly. From what family? Right now.”
It was no longer a desire to protest his rudeness. Rather, her instincts were screaming at her, she had to find him.
