Chapter.12 Hidden Face and Dessert

“I don’t know much about the stories of humans.”

After returning to the restaurant, Lulin opened her mouth with a complicated face. Unlike me and the Gray boy, his expression showed no empathy at all.

“Is that why you’re angry? All you have to do is kill Count Deadran. “It’s a simple thing.”

“Okay, if you say it that way, it’s simple, but if you just kill it, it would be too bland. Let everyone in the world know what he did. and... .”

I laid Lulin, who was tilting her head, on the bed, sat down next to her, and opened her mouth. Her eyes were filled with sleep, perhaps because she had been forced to wake up in the morning when she had never woken up before, but she seemed to be holding it in forcibly. And yet, I am still holding on to the hem of my clothes.

Are you anxious that you might suddenly disappear like before?

I don’t know anything else, but that won’t happen. That won’t happen.

“And you don’t know much about Verna’s story?”

“Yes.”

“Imagine that the woman from earlier was you.”

“Why do I have to be such a worthless person? hate.”

“It’s just an assumption. home. And the Earl of Gray is me. But the dragons used poison on me and turned me into a being who couldn’t do anything. I don’t recognize you. Just blankly. You can’t feed them, you can’t coddle them, and you can’t punish them if they don’t obey you. And I can’t even talk like this.”

“... ... .”

Lulin’s expression distorted. She may have thought that Verna’s story was just a story about an insignificant bug crawling around, but when she thought about it for herself, she seemed to think a little differently.

“It’s you, but isn’t it you?”

“of course. I was poisoned and became unable to do anything... .”

“You can’t do that! I don’t like that. This is ridiculous. “Because you are strong, that won’t happen!”

“So, just in case. The woman from earlier is in that exact situation. So how sad would it be?”

“Is that so? “I think I know a little bit.”

“yes? So don’t disturb me and just stay still. “Because I will get revenge.”

“If it were me... . It doesn’t sit still like that! Everything will be overturned. I will destroy this world! “A world without you!”

“That’s stupid. There’s no way I’ll be like that. You empathized too much this time, right? “Go to sleep.”

I covered myself with the blanket and was about to come out, but Rurin still wouldn’t let go of my arm.

“Your eyes are full of sleep, why are you holding me? Come on, man, you have to move early tomorrow too. Or were you alone?”

“I’m going too. “For some reason, I want to see the end of that woman.”

Lurin expressed interest in someone other than me for the first time. It seems that assigning her work to us was quite effective.

“So, please sleep. “Dragon.”

The dragon raised its upper body and looked up at me.

“however... Can’t you stay with me? I became strange because of you. today... . I’m so strange. I can’t sleep alone. you... .”

***

Count Gray’s plan for revenge.

The first begins with the boy Gray suffering from the same disease as his father and collapsing.

Thorough acting is needed here. The story progresses only when the Gray boy, who has always seen his father’s condition, replicates it.

It’s not like I’m really taking the medicine, but it’s like I really took it.

You have to show acting that is worthy of winning the lead actor award in a drama. Because this is a drama script.

As soon as Count Dedran arrived, he went out to visit the Great Boy.

Anyone can expect that people will come forward to see it with their own eyes. The more people think of others as tools, the less likely they are to accept the situation as truth without seeing it with their own eyes.

“Baron Dierran, what on earth happened to this?”

Count Dedran pretended to be innocent and approached Count Gray’s side. And then I looked at it carefully. Saliva flows from the Gray boy’s mouth.

The condition was definitely similar to the symptoms of poison. In the room, his daughter and himself. And only the Great Boy.

If so, I need to check more clearly.

Count Dedran took out a dagger from his chest. A sure way to check whether you have been poisoned is to stab yourself with a knife.

Since our eyes are open, it is natural for humans to show that reflex when stabbed. Because I can’t let go without my expression becoming distorted.

“father... ? Didn’t you say you wouldn’t kill him? why... .”

Verna approached me with a very frightened expression. But Count Dedran only smiled faintly.

“It’s not killing. “It’s just confirmation.”

Then he thrust the dagger into the boy’s thigh.

Phew!

Verna was truly surprised. This wasn’t acting. Count Dedran burst into laughter as he looked at that scene.

“Ha ha ha ha ha!”

It was a laugh that came from satisfaction. When I pulled out the knife, blood came out. But there was no pain on the boy’s face.

Such are the characteristics of this poison. It paralyzes the brain’s nervous system, making it impossible to feel any pain.

If so, you have definitely taken the medicine. The fact that he didn’t even twitch his eyebrows after being stabbed by a knife could be explained by nothing other than the efficacy of the poison. At least as far as Count Dedran knows.

However, if you look closely, you will see that even though he was stabbed, there was no blood flowing from the boy’s thigh. That’s a simple reason. Because Time Stop, a class 10 spell, has been applied to the Gray boy.

The flow of blood has stopped in the thighs of the Gray boy, where time has stopped.

However, because of the sense of being clearly stabbed with a knife and the blood on the knife, Count Dedran withdrew his suspicions and withdrew his gaze from the Gray boy.

And I tried to leave the room.

Verna felt like she wasn’t sure what was going on, but she thought she had to do what had to be done right now.

My whole body is still shaking.

He decided to die and hung himself. So, she had told Elle that there was no fear greater than that, but she felt so funny at herself as she thought that the fear imprinted on her body for the rest of her life could possibly be greater than death.

But nothing is solved like this.

Since this is the seed you planted, you must step forward. Verna called out to her father in a voice that she had shouted at herself countless times.

“Is it okay to do this, father? If this happens... Now I... .”

“What happens? The work starts now. “How much do you think you got back by doing something useless that would have been so easy if you had seen an heir?”

Count Dedran, who was about to leave the room when he heard his daughter’s call, walked up to Verna and pulled her by the hair, his eyes flashing.

“Don’t be mistaken in thinking that just because you took medicine means you are free. In any case, all the evidence of Gray City’s tax evasion points to you. So, if you want to live, just quietly live in this permanent castle. Do you understand?”

“But father... . “Can I ask you just one thing?”

“How dare you ask me a question?”

Verna still couldn’t look the count straight in the face. And as usual, Count Dedran threw Verna’s hair to the ground.

Verna collapsed on the floor and began to cry.

“I want to know. father... Please let me know. My husband also... Father... “Did you give him medicine?”

Count Dedran was about to leave again when he grabbed his daughter by the hair. She lowered her head, shaking all over.

The count grinned and grabbed his daughter’s chin with his other hand.
