Chapter 122.2

“Don’t let him go!”

The boy’s dark eyes now turned to Yurina’s urgent voice.

“You better come soon. If it’s late, we can’t guarantee the maid’s life.”

Suddenly, his lower body was gone and only his upper body remained. At that moment, Raynard lifted the corner of his mouth and smiled.

“Why don’t you worry about yourself before that?”

“What?”

Raynard waved the hand around the boy’s neck, and the boy rolled to the floor. At the same time, the boy’s legs, which had disappeared just a moment ago, was now back in place. A cloth that came out of nowhere wrapped itself around the puzzled boy’s body.

“Hey, what is this…!”

This time, the boy’s mouth itself was covered with a white cloth. Raynard walked towards him slowly, step by step, and stopped in front of the boy. He gripped and twisted the boy’s wrist tightly with both hands. Just like the boy did to Yurina not long ago.

Reynard’s cold gaze fell upon the boy’s face, which was contorted in pain.

“It’s embarrassing to think that nothing was done on this side while you guys were making plans. How long did you think you could hide the traces of black magic?”

The force that squeezed the boy’s wrist grew stronger. The boy’s moans of pain leaked through the cracks in the cloth covering his mouth.

“You will have to be prepared to pay the price for targeting Yurina.”

The door burst open and knights including Sir Aaron rushed in. While Reynard was teleporting to Yurina’s room, Dave, who teleported to the knights building and reported the situation, walked helplessly from the back of the knights.

Yurina stood up and gave instructions to the knights.

“Keep a close eye on the estate, don’t do anything stupid. Don’t let him kill commit suicide. And…”

She clenched her fists and barely spoke.

“Some people follow me.”

“Betsy? My sister left this morning, along with your knights…”

When Reynard asked if Betsy was at home, her sister looked puzzled. Her eyes, similar to Betsy but slightly sharper, frowned slightly as she glanced at Yurina and Reynard as if trying to understand the situation.

Tony, who was in her arms, looked at Yurina and tried to get attention.

“Uh? Mom! It’s an angel!”

Tony looked much healthier than the last time.

‘I’m glad you got better.’

Even saying that, Yurina couldn’t be happy fearing for Betsy. When Yurina’s eyes watered at the thought of Betsy, Tony himself sobbed as if he was about to cry.

“Angel, don’t cry.”

He stretched out his arms toward Yurina. Unexpectedly, she stretched out her hand, and Tony grabbed Yurina by the neck and held her in her arms before her mother could stop her.

“If you cry, Tony will too.”

The child’s body, although the fever subsided, was hotter than Yurina’s or Reynard’s. Yurina smiled at Betsy’s sister, who was flustered and didn’t know what to do, and she buried her face in Tony’s neck. Just like Betsy did to Tony a few days ago.

The child smelled of cocoa. He must have spilled it on his clothes.

When her breath touched his neck, Tony twisted his body and burst into laughter.

“Angel, but where is Aunt Betsy?”

“…”

“Did you come with my aunt like last time?”

Yurina’s throat choked at the innocent question.

“Aunt Betsy will come later.”

“How many nights have I been sleeping?”

“How many nights?”

Tony wiggled his fingers in Yurina’s arms. He looked straight into Yurina’s eyes as he raised his head with questionable face and spread his ten fingers.

“My aunt said she would come after ten nights. Tony can count to ten.”

“Really? Can you count ten? You are smart.”

“My aunt said I am smart too!”

The triumphant look on his face was like Reynard’s as a child. Yurina looked at his short fingers and nodded her head.

“Your aunt will return to you in ten nights.”

“Would you like to come after ten nights too?”

“Huh.”

“Really?”

“Yes. I’ll come after ten nights with aunt Betsy.”

“Cool!”

Yurina handed Tony, who was swinging his legs excitedly back and forth, into the arms of Betsy’s sister.

Betsy’s sister looked at Reynard and Yurina with an uneasy face, not even trying to appease Tony, who was happy saying that he was excited to see an angel.
