Chapter 150

Where the hell did it go wrong?

WW-What are you talking about?

Nancy asked back nervously, eyes fixed on the gun thats pointed at her forehead.

Ah, sorry. I mixed it up.

Carynne recalled that she was already done talking with this iterations Nancy so she retracted the gun. Since the duration before her deaths had decreased, her memories were all the more jumbled up. Carynne coaxed Nancy, caressing the womans trembling shoulders.

Dont be so nervous. Its just that Dullan crossed my mind, thats why I got a bit irked.

Y-Yes

In any case, Carynne didnt like Nancy very much. Its because of Nancy and Dullan that her memories were so muddled like this.

Even so, apart from Nancy, she had no other people to share this with. Carynne shook her head and said,

Ive been killed by Borwen three times now.

Ah Yes

The answer was rather suspicious.

Didnt you say you believe me?

I believe you. I solemnly, solemnly swear in the name of God.

Youre good at saying just anything, arent you.

Carynne slammed Nancy down on the bed and threw a silver coin at her. Nancy quivered terribly, but quickly snatched the coin nonetheless.

I want to kill Dullan.

Is it because Lord Dullan knows the truth?

Yeah. I finally went as far as cutting off Dullans fingers last time, but he still refused to say anything.

I must have truly miseducated you. I didnt raise you like this, Milady.

My dear Nancy.

When Carynne called her, Nancy let out a silent Ack! but soon schooled her features once more.

Yes, you tried to kill Lord Dullan but failed. Then?

Carynne held back her sigh. She could feel that Nancy was inwardly looking down on her.

Listen properly.

Yes.

Considering that she was the same person who had the ability to dull Carynnes wits, perhaps it was only natural for Nancy to think she was on higher ground. Thats why she was being casual about all this.

However, Carynne didnt have enough patience to watch Nancy just behave in that way.

If it sounds like a joke to you, very well. I can just go ahead and cut off one of your fingers. Do you think my father will punish me for that? Or do you think hell cover for me instead?

Do it right.

Yes, Milady.

Correcting her subordinates attitude was something that a master should naturally do, but she was sick and tired of having to do it each and every time like this.

Its become routine at this point. Shed threaten Nancy with a gun, wait a few days until Dullan would arrive, trap him in her room, try to kill him, but would eventually get murdered by Borwen in the middle of it.

Oh, maybe itd be easier if I kill Borwen first before Dullan?

How are you going to kill him, Milady?

Ill think about that from now on.

Nancy shook her head at what Carynne said.

Please dont do that.

Go ahead and tell me that murder is bad, I dare you.

No, its not that.

Nancy spoke more realistically.

Mister Borwen has a really nasty personality. And hes gotten his hands dirty before.

You did say that he was a butcher before.

Yes, but rumor has it that he didnt just kill animals, but also dealt with humans. You know that the attendants and the maids dont get along very well, yes?

Uh-huh.

Youre the one who followed me here though?

Carynne had been thrilled to watch how Dullan followed her after just a word.

T-T-The victim of temptation is different from the woman who started it

Come now, this is the fifth time.

Carynnes patience was completely gone. Borwen truly wasnt the problem. The man who was both the cause and the effect was the problemDullan himself. Regardless of whether she tortured him, slept with him or killed him, he really wouldnt fess up.

Would things go differently if she were to cut off this thing here thats dangling from his lower body?

Carynne glared at the spot where Dullans member was. And, with a knife, she slowly tore through his religious robes. It was exceedingly unpleasant to look at. With a body like his, its better to look at him when hes wearing clothes.

Let me just cut this off and put it in your own mouth, hm? Really, its not fun for me to do this either.

I-Ive told you nothing but the truth, so

This time again.

Still, she might be able to take her anger out on Dullans corpse after killing him this time.

Carynne raised the knife over her head.

Creeeak

Carynne! What are you doing right now!

As the door was opened, Carynne made eye contact with the man who entered.

The man who she never would have expected to see here.

Father.

Its the first time in a long while that Carynne saw Lord Hare. A strange feeling swept within her as she saw his face.

When was the last time she looked at his face properly? No, when was the last time she saw his face, period?

She recalled his face as his corpse was dangling on a noose.

Please leave, Carynne said.

What are you going to do if I leave now?

I will kill Dullan, of course.

However, Carynne knew that she shouldnt say that. The words were stuck in her throat.

Carynne agonized. In a situation like this, what should she say? Should she say something embarrassing in front of her father? But that wouldnt be a good enough excuse either way.

We were Well, weve been playing with swords since we were young, so

A pathetic excuse spilled through her lips. Carynne knew it herself that she sounded stupid. Nevertheless, with how strange it was that she had died many times, the reality that should have grounded her instead escaped her.

Carynne decided.

Once the fief lord would leave, shed just go ahead and put the gun to her head and kill herself.

Thud.

However, the gun slipped from Carynnes pocket and dropped to the floor.

I mean, um, we played with guns as well

This couldnt go on. Rolling the knife in her hand, Carynne wracked her head. What should she say?

M-M-Milord, please please save me.

At once, Dullan uttered just one line to convey the entire situation. And, watching as he did this, Carynne was so baffled that she tightened her hands over the knife. Just die, will you?

Taak.

Stop it.

Yeess.

As the fief lord firmly gripped her wrist, Carynne answered him with a sigh.

Failure, once again.

* * *

Success.

Dullan laughed.
