Chapter 98

Fake and Truth (6)

To be honest, she was afraid that there would be an unacceptable situation. Nox took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. It was an effort to calm his trembling mind. The door opened with no sound. As if it knew Nox was the owner.

“Well, I’d love to be over there. It will be difficult if you run away by surprise.”

“You’re not telling me to go in here, are you?”

“That’s right.”

The place he pointed to was a closet with a door. She couldn’t see any clothes inside. Looking at the empty closet, she saw Nox with an incomprehensible look.

‘Why do I have to go in there?’

She didn’t want to, but she thought she had to do what he told her to do. The overall atmosphere of the room differed from the chilliness of the castle.

When she entered the closet, Nox personally closed the door. When the light slowly disappeared and only darkness remained, she heard someone entering the room.

Thud.

She crouched in surprise at the sound of something heavy falling on the floor. She couldn’t see anything because of the closed door, but she could tell.

That the sound is the sound of a person.

“… finish it quickly.”

It was Arthur’s voice that was full of signs of exhaustion. She didn’t want to believe it, but Arthur was really involved. Then, did he bring the person who is on the floor now?

“You don’t have to be in a hurry. Oh, I heard there’s a new person named Mary.”

“…She’s not Mary. There’s only one Mary.”

“Who? The girl next to you?”

Nox’s voice was playful. Arthur remained silent even at Nox’s strangely scratching words with a mocking tone.

“We don’t have time. Hurry up.”

Arthur’s brief sigh was heard. She held her breath and approached the door a little further. She vaguely saw the outside through the slightly open door.

Arthur’s face, standing face to face with Nox’s back, caught her eye. She covered her mouth with the appearance of the woman lying on the floor.

Nox seemed to reach out to Arthur’s heart and pulled out the bottle. It seemed that the blue energy was coming out of Arthur’s body, but it was soon absorbed along Nox’s hand.

“Ugh.”

“It’s something you do every time.”

“You didn’t meet Mary, did you?”

Arthur’s eyes glimmered. Nox shook his head, shrugging his shoulders skillfully.

“If you know, you can’t let it go.”

“Don’t touch Mary.”

“Ah, the more I’m interested in her. Isn’t this fun? What do you mean by a woman who reached out to you first?”

“Nox.”

As Arthur warned, he called his name. The cool air seemed to hover around him and soon dispersed quietly.

“It’s not fun. Are you going to stay? It doesn’t matter to me.”

“… Take care of yourself.”

Arthur left the room holding a glass bottle in his hand. Nox looked at her and smiled. The woman lying on the floor opened her eyes to Nox’s words and stretched.

The beautiful man was standing in front of her, and the woman put her hand around Nox’s neck as if possessed.

The lips of the two overlapped and began to shine and scatter on the woman’s body.

The more the lips of the two interlocked, the more the woman’s body disappeared. The woman’s face was so full of smiles that she didn’t even know her body was disappearing.

Until she looked at Nox’s two red eyes.

“Ahhh”

The scream of a woman soon creepily rang in her ears. Soon after, however, the woman disappeared.

Right in front of her eyes.

She covered her two mouths. Nox’s red eyes turned toward her and she unknowingly stepped back. His eyes in the dark were clearer.

‘I can’t believe it.’

It was something she didn’t dare to imagine. She heard the story, but the situation she actually faced was truly shocking. No, beyond that, she could not believe it to be reality.

She heard Nox’s footsteps. Her heart beat as if her heart was going to explode at the sound of him slowly approaching her.

Squeak!

When she opened the closet door and saw Nox with a smile, she lost consciousness.

“Didn’t you say you were guarding the front? But I think we need to explain why Mary was down in the hallway.”

“…… I’m sorry. When I opened my eyes, I was lying down.”

“You must know how irresponsible your words are now.”

She heard a familiar voice. Her head was blank and her body was heavy. When she tried to open her eyes and turn her head to the noisy side, there were Arthur and Carl.

Along with Carl, who bowed his head, Arthur looked as if he would cut Carl’s neck at any moment.

‘Why are you two doing this? What happened?’

As she tried to think, her head was pounding. She remembered being with Nox, but she couldn’t think of the situation before and after at all.

Nox’s actions that covered her eyes with two red eyes came to mind. She couldn’t remember what he said towards the end.

“What are you doing now?”

She told Arthur, who was talking at the door.

The two looked serious, so she tried not to intervene, but she couldn’t watch because she seemed to be at the center.

“Why did you leave the room again?”

“It’s up to me. I guess you have time to pay attention to me”.

“…Mary.”

“Where did you leave her (Mary2)?”

She caused a crack on Arthur’s face. The expression of concern for her quickly erased and filled with complexity.

“Let it go, come on. You know she’s fake, anyway.”

And she also knew that the woman was fake.

She remembered the story vividly when she talked with Nox in the room. It was a problem if it was not too clear but clear.

Fake created by Nox. A doll pretending to be Mary.

His bait to move Arthur.
