Chapter 119

Missing Mary (1)

“Is it you again? This time, it looks better than the first time.”

Carl’s eyes cooled coldly toward her. Facing Carl, she stepped back and stared at him. He still looked at Mary2, not her.

Nox hid his body. Carl knew little about his identity, so it was difficult for him to show up. Or is he even aware of his mistake?

“He’s not even good.”

He couldn’t know what was wrong or reflect on himself. Initially, it was wrong to ask the devil to repent of his actions.

“What’s the difference this time?”

She was really curious. What is the difference between then and now, and where is the part that is so similar that Carl cannot recognize?

Where do she (Mary2) and herself resemble so much that even Arthur was fooled? Her (Mary2) appearance did not differ from herself at first.

“Is that important? You still look fake to me.”

“Sigh… Really? Then this fake has to leave now. Otherwise, you don’t know what will happen.”

“You’d better disappear before the Grand Duke catches you. Otherwise, it’s not bad to die in his hands. I don’t think it’s a bad thing to die at my own hands.”

Carl’s sword was pointed at herself. It was her first time to feel this kind of life for him, and the sharp blade of the sword moved close to her neck at any moment.

Raising both hands, she forced the corners of her mouth to smile.

Her heart had been pounding. It wasn’t because of the blood from the slight cut by the blade of the sword pointed at her.

Well, maybe it’s easy. This is more comfortable.

She slipped from the sword with his hand and stepped back from Carl a couple of steps. She would look at Mary(2) and Carl, who would be tied here on behalf of herself.

“Then, the fake will leave now.”

She beckoned towards Nox. When he tilted his head to the side as if he was wondering, he made a sign of snapping her finger.

At that moment, she saw Carl’s expression was complicated and subtle. What can he do now? He was the one who didn’t recognize it, but she felt disgusted for no reason.

‘Take care of yourself.’

The time given to her would be 3 days at the very least. She had to take Arthur’s medicine, so she had to come back when the time came.

“So, I’ll have to finish it in a short time.”

She thought of something to do, so she decided to use this situation to her advantage.

While she was thinking about something else for a while, her body was already out of the castle.

“Now Nox, you know how I feel.”

“It’s an honor to know that.”

“I need a place to stay.”

“What are you going to do? Are you going to leave it like that?”

Moved elsewhere with Nox’s magic, she looked around. She will be quite busy since she has to move alone starting tomorrow.

“Isn’t it great? It was frustrating to be trapped in a castle, but let’s see how free we are.”

It’s only for 3 days.

“As expected, it’s fun.””

She didn’t know if it was a good thing to get his help, but it was the best option she could choose at that time. Or she had to kill Mary(2) pretending to be her or kick her (Mary2) out.

She hates it when she has a lot of work. It was Nox in front of her who kept making it happen.

“Nox, don’t get me wrong, because I’m not trying to entertain you.”

If he wasn’t the devil, he’d be the first to die. Seriously, this was sincere. Without him, things wouldn’t have been this twisted.

“Excuse me. It’s perfect.”

She pointed to the vacant lot as if to take responsibility. Nox giggled and laughed and quickly created a mansion.

She just pointed her finger, but he made her what she wanted at once. There seemed to be little that could not be made in his hands.

“Is this real?”

“Well, you can think of it as that.”

“Everyone else isn’t seeing me sleeping on the floor and seeing everything? It’s like saying that only my eyes see it as a mansion.”

“You can count on this. I’ll be with you, too.”

At Nox’s words, she looked up and down. Did he say he’d be with her now? That means he thought she’d be like that.

“Are you crazy? If I know what you’re going to do, do I stay with you?”

“That gaze. It looks like you’re looking at me like a beast.”

“That’s right. I saw it exactly.”

She didn’t deny it. Because there was nothing wrong with what he said. She still saw Nox with suspicious eyes.

He eventually swore at her with his hands raised in her unearned gaze.

“Don’t worry. I’ll never enter the room without your permission.”

“I can’t believe it anymore because I don’t have trust in you.”

“When did you ever trust me?”

“Well… … no. I don’t think so. Then we just hang out together.”

Nox’s eyes widened horizontally this time when she unexpectedly accepted it, which he thought she would continue to refuse.

He looked around at her, took out the paper, and wrote something. It’s not even a magical pocket, but seeing something keep coming out of the air made her laugh.

“Here you go. If I touch your body without your permission, I’ll do one thing you want then.”

“This contract is real, right?”

At his words, the letters on the contract fluttered with light. At the end of the paper, Nox’s signature was written. He approached her by showing her what was written on the paper.

“You can’t believe it, right? I can’t trust myself either.”

Nox leaned down and came close to her. His hand lifted one of her legs and pressed them to her. She looked at Nox’s behavior without avoiding his gaze.
