CH 107

Episode 107

After a very peaceful breakfast, I went to the library to find the material and met Cassius on my way out.

Cassius naturally came next to me and started walking, and we walked together in the hallway in front of the library.

“Yerine, by what time is the meeting?”

“Well, at nine o’clock.”

It was a little late because this meeting was not a regular meeting.

When I went to the ceremony of appointment of the Housekeepers, it was the earliest at seven o’clock, and the meeting continued from eight o’clock.

“Oh, then you can come with me.”

“What time does Cassius have to be there?”

“I just have to go before the afternoon, but I personally have a personal business first, so I have to arrive a little earlier than the appointment time.”

“I see.”

Walking down the hall with two books in my arms, I gave a calm answer.

“By the way, were you really going with me?”

“Don’t you think that’s a good idea? I get so bored when I go alone.”

“Oh……..”

To be honest, I had nothing to say because I was asleep in the carriage every time I went to Noble State Field.

“Well, that’s true.”

I couldn’t bring myself to say that I was sleeping every time I went.

“But isn’t there some distance between the Noble State Field and the Imperial Palace?”

“Well, we can break up at the midway point. There are many carriages on the palace site, so it doesn’t matter.”

“Really?”

Seeing how active he answered, it was clear that he really wanted to go with me.

Sure enough, Cassius began to appeal to me with pathetic eyes like a dog in the rain.

“Yerine, can’t we?”

“……….”

“If Yerine doesn’t like it, I can’t help it, but….”

Where on earth did you learn to look like that?

‘If you look at me like that, I can’t help but do you a favour.’

Although it was blurry because I only see her with just one eye.

“Stop it.”

The Duke stopped again at the voice he heard again.

The white woman sitting on a branch jumped gently off the branch when the Duke found her.

Landing lightly in front of the Duke, she had snow-white hair and skin.

“What do you want?”

The Duke held me tighter in his arms and was on alert.

The woman who stared at him shook her head.

“I don’t want anything. I have already received something.”

“What?”

As if he didn’t understand the woman’s words, the Duke didn’t care about questioning the woman.

The woman spoke in a determined voice.

“This forest is dangerous. You can’t go in. No matter how skilful a wizard you are, it’s hard to get through while you’re holding your daughter.”

I felt a strange atmosphere from the woman who said so.

It felt like something else, not a person.

“Getaway. My daughter is in danger now. I have to go even if my arms and legs get ripped off by the beast.”

“Honey!”

At that time, I heard the voice of the Duchess who followed the duke.

The woman who asked me to call her if I had any trouble.

[Sorry, this is the only way I can do it]]

I could hear the woman’s voice in my head.

In the dream, the woman who had always covered one of her eyes with her hair was completely revealing her eyes.

Her eyes glowed red with blood.

“Huh.”

I was so surprised that I got up from the bed as soon as I opened my eyes.

My eyes, reflected in the mirror across the room, had a red glow as usual.
