Chapter 112

Fake and Truth (20)

She tried to approach Arthur, but was stopped by Nox’s hand. She was tired of shaking her head slightly, so she closed her mouth while trying to call Arthur.

“This is a funny situation.”

“What do you think it’ll be like this time? You think he fell for it, right?”

“I don’t know.”

She just can’t figure out what Nox is thinking. But Arthur must have known she was in that space, so why was he possessed by fake Mary?

She stayed still and observed the other Mary. Again this time, she (Mary2), who has the same appearance as her, looked more sophisticated than last time.

So, when she (Mary2) made that expression or habitual behavior that she did to Arthur.

“You put a lot of effort into it.”

“Mary, what do you think?”

“It’s better than last time. I don’t think it’s something I should say.”

Arthur looked quite serious as if talking to Mary about something. She listened because she was curious about what he was talking about, but she couldn’t hear it at all because it was far away. She breathed in and called Arthur’s name loudly.

“Arthur Douglas!”

“It’s no use yelling. Only your throat will hurt.”

“Nox, are you listening to what they’re talking about?”

“Why are you curious?”

Nox asked her with a flash of eyes. It was a quick response as if he had been waiting for that word.

Honestly, she nodded because it was true that she was curious. That’s not what matters whether Arthur falls or not, but Mary’s words.

‘I was just wondering how the heck he could be so confident if he made her (Mary2) look like me.’

Nox grabbed her hand and tapped her ear with one hand. Then suddenly, the voices of Arthur and fake Mary, which were not heard, were heard.

– You mean you don’t have to look around the city?

– Yeah, I’m not really curious.

-……That’s weird. So how the hell did you get out?

-Proserpin helped me.

The fake Mary really spewed out a lie casually. In addition to the sour tone, the expression was so consistent that it was safe to say she (Mary2) seemed like herself.

Nox seemed to really care this time. What does he gain from doing that?

“Should he believe that?”

“It’s not like Arthur doesn’t have a possibility if he’s a progenitor.”

“……He seemed curious, but he didn’t seem interested enough to help others.”

“Well, don’t judge them too visibly.”

Nox laughed at his mouth. He also seemed to know Proserpine well. She was curious how Arthur would respond to the fake Mary’s words, so she waited for his mouth to open.

Just because she went close, she wouldn’t hear more, but her body moved forward a bit.

– By any chance, you gave her marbles….. no.

Marbles? Is she not supposed to touch them? A bead in a glass bottle came to mind. When Arthur wasn’t around, she thought about giving it to Proserpine and getting away from him.… she rolled her eyes alone, feeling guilty.

It wasn’t hers, but she thought for a while about whether it would be okay to give it to him because she saw what Arthur gave her.

-Why? Can’t I give it to her?

The fake Mary immediately asked Arthur what she was curious about, as if she (Mary2) were speaking for herself. Surprised, when she turned her head and saw Nox, she shrugged and avoided her gaze.

“Are you delivering it as it is?”

“It’s not necessarily like that.”

“Don’t lie.”

Nox gave strength to his hand, which held her hand.

Nox squeezed tightly not to let go, but the moment she lifted her foot and pounded Nox’s foot with a shoe heel, she was able to release his strength in her hand.

She shook off his hand and saw Nox with a cold look.

“Hey, it’s too much to use violence.”

“Is it okay to put up a fake and pretend to be me? She (Mary2) also conveys my thoughts.”

“It’s fun if you do it properly.”

Holding his feet, Nox made a tearful face. She turned her eyes on Nox and saw Arthur and the fake Mary.

It was very uncomfortable to look at a woman the same as herself. The strange thing is that she feels like she is looking in the mirror but also not.

“Until when are you going to play with dolls?”

“Well, at least until Arthur notices it?”

“The game will end when I go back to the castle.”

Nox touched his chin by erasing the amplification magic. Pretending to be worried, he came up with a very simple method and told her.

“Mary, I’m sorry, but I don’t intend to send you back to the castle.”

“What does that mean?”

Nox pulled her and locked her in his arms, kissed her lightly on the back of his hand, and pushed her away. Nox’s mouth was seen the moment she reached out without screaming.

“You can wait there.”

Upon understanding what he said, she swore to herself.

Making a fuss.

Falling loudly, she got up from her seat groaning in pain from hitting her butt.

Looking around, it was the space she was in earlier. So it was back again.

“Nox, you punk!”

She swallowed the boiling anger by spitting out the swear words that flowed out of her mouth.

She couldn’t even see what Arthur and the fake Mary were doing after that. Apparently, it would take quite a while, so she was even more heated up.

“Why is Arthur being fooled?”

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. It’s not once or twice, but isn’t it time to suspect each time he’s attacked? Isn’t it time to know just by looking at her eyes?
