[Episode 108]
Hatar.
Calan Etham’s findings indicate that the liquid is of much poorer quality than previously thought.
When you drink it, it stimulates the nervous system slowly, reminds you of the liquid, eventually poisons you, and makes you demand more, so that withdrawal symptoms become severe and cause you to die.
In addition, it was said that it had a bad effect on the organs, causing a person to rot from the inside while alive.
“Anyway, I’m glad you figured it out in advance. What would have happened if this spread across the country?”
Saying that, Kalan shook her head.
Callan still had a childish side to her as she grinned and chewed on the cookie as I met her eyes.
‘Well, I’m still sixteen.’
When am I going to grow up
Thinking about it, I felt a bit far-fetched. But still much better than before.
‘Because I feel alive.’
I was just smirking in a good mood when Callan quietly placed a hand on my forehead.
“…What are you doing?”
“uh? No, because it hurts. Because I suddenly laughed strangely…”
He looked at me and sipped the thickly burnt hot chocolate as if his tongue was burning.
‘I don’t know how to eat something like that.’
It is said that eating sweets makes you feel better, but instead of making you feel better, it seemed that you would soar into the sky.
“I always wonder how you eat that weird thing.”
I tilted my head, biting into my mouth the spoon containing the pudding I had been eating.
“…Can’t you do something like that?”
“what?”
When I lowered my spoon at the sudden remark, Kalan Ettam, with a reddish face, pointed at me.
“That expression! those eyes! That slightly tilted, ambiguous head angle!”
“…uh?”
“I still wanted to break the sofa!”
“…”
There is no address like this.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from talking with many people recently… I’m
very embarrassed, very embarrassed, and frankly, I have a bit of a hard side to say it out loud… but
I was loved more than I thought. I thought I knew roughly where that clumsy and awkward remark of Callan Etham came from.
Because…
“Really, how did such a fluffy kid come out of my father?”
“It’s like fluffy…”
“You! Do you know how many of your dolls are in my room? How old am I!”
It’s because it’s the same as how I liked female leads in the past.
Callan Etam hugged the sofa cushion and grunted as if she felt sorry for herself for collecting dolls.
But the way he looked at me was clearly affectionate. Unlike those guys who weren’t even like siblings in their previous lives.
“But I was curious, Eirin, what do you plan to do if you catch the culprit who spread that hatar?”
I crossed my arms and tilted my head.
I have to tear everything apart from one to ten. I wouldn’t be the one to do that, though.
Catching this culprit did not start with any particular idea. I just want my daily life to be comfortable and I just want the people around me to be peaceful.
‘Then why the hell did you spread hatar? I don’t know why I can’t remember.’
It is not clear which country released this hatar.
‘There must be someone who benefits from releasing Hatar.’
It was while I was munching on my pudding and lost in thought. Callan Etam, who was sitting across from me, moved and sat down next to me.
“Is it delicious?”
“yes.”
“Give me a bite.”
Kalan Etam gaped. As I narrowed my eyes at his impudence, Kalan Ettam averted my gaze.
I scooped out a spoonful of pudding, and Kalan Etham popped it into her mouth and immediately crumpled her face.
“Ugh, the texture feels bad.”
I hate pudding, so I don’t know why they stole it. I glanced at him with a dissatisfied face before opening my mouth.
“Come to think of it, where is the person I thought was my biological father…?”
“Ah… is that a bitch?”
“huh.”
“why?”
“Coming to think of it, I think it smelled like something unique. I don’t remember well…”
It was an inexplicable smell that had a heavy woody scent mixed with a strangely sweet smell. It seems that the smell of grass was also mixed with it.
“Shall I bring the report?”
“there is?”
“Well, even though the bitch is a collateral, he’s from the Etam family anyway, so the report came up.”
“To my brother?”
“No, I saw it at my father’s desk.”
Callan Etam grinned like a mischievous rascal. As he muttered something softly, a piece of paper emerged from the air and landed lightly on my hand.
“Did you steal it?”
“I bet you copied it.”
Callan said confidently.
I wonder what the difference between stealing and copying is so big
…
The boy’s eyes twinkled and his upper body slightly bent. Seeing his drooping head, I reached out and ruffled his hair.
“Thank you, brother.”
“you’re welcome.”
Callan Etam smiled contentedly and withdrew.
I read the report slowly. There were several stories about stuttering gibberish and wanting to see me.
But to be honest, that wasn’t what I knew.
‘Who on earth gave me to this asshole?’
In a vague memory, I saw a person who handed me over as a newborn baby to a dog.
However, I couldn’t remember clearly what the situation was like at that time or what kind of conversation was going on.
As I slowly read through the report, there were a few lines that suddenly caught my eye.
[Belongings: Knife, gold coin… (omitted) 1 cigar]
[Special note: Seizures appear to be side effects of certain drugs or poisoning symptoms.] It
was about belongings and specifics. My eyes got thinner.
‘Cigar… and symptoms of poisoning?’
It’s a strangely reluctant connection. If you look at it separately, it’s actually a very suitable story for the character of Gaemangnani.
Unfortunately, however, I knew of an incident in which these two things were vaguely intertwined.
[I don’t know the details except for the information about the appearance of a man who looks young and has a scar above his left eye. He says he likes unusual cigars, but he made them himself, and they weren’t sold on the market.]
I slowly put the paper down on the desk at Hill Rosemont’s words that suddenly came to my mind.
“Brother.”
“huh?”
“Can you find out if this person is poisoned or not Hatar?”
“of course.”
Callan Etham grinned, drank the hot chocolate in one gulp, and stood up.
“If you ask for help, I will help you. So don’t hold back, don’t think about it, and tell me anytime.”
At the kind words, the strength of the mouth was relieved. Unknowingly, I curled my eyebrows.
I always think about it, but these people are too kind. So I wanted to protect it more and I didn’t want to lose it more.
“Yeah, brother, don’t even buy and hit me. If anything happens, tell me.”
“I will.”
Callan Etam waved her hand and quickly left the drawing room. I moved my sulky body around and jumped up from my seat.
I finished all the things I was going to do…
“I’m going out today!”
I ran and ran back to my room. Laurent was waiting for me in the room as always.
“Welcome, lady!”
“Laurent! I am going out now.”
“Did you have a good conversation with Confucius?”
“Yeah, I asked for help, and they said they helped.”
I was a little happy about that fact, so when I said God, Laurent smiled and nodded.
“Don’t forget that this Laurent is there too! Then I will do my best to help you prepare!”
“Yes please!”
“You said you were going to the shopping district of the capital market, right?”
“huh.”
When I answered, shaking my dangling leg from the chair, Laurent opened his mouth while carefully touching my head.
“But why do you want to go to the shopping mall?”
“To buy a present!”
At my words, she widened her eyes.
“A gift?”
“huh.”
When I smiled, Laurent, who had finished tidying my hair, lightly brushed my cheek and smiled at me.
Laurent worked hard on my clothes and jumped up from his seat with a lively face.
“Then I’ll get ready quickly. I’ll also bring an escort driver. Could it be Sir Iona and Sir Adam?”
“huh.”
Iona and Adam were in charge of my exclusive escort.
The mansion is safe, so I don’t escort you, but from the moment I left the mansion, the two knights followed me, even if it was within the estate of the Etam family.
“I also took the money.”
I looked down at my thick wallet and nodded happily.
It was a black tiger-shaped coin pouch given to me by my father. Filled with gold coins, the tiger’s face was bulging.
When I turned my head, I saw a tiger doll sitting well on the bed. I’m just sorry that I haven’t been paying much attention to you lately.
“hmm. Do you want to go too?”
approached and asked. Of course, since it was a question I asked the doll, I didn’t get an answer.
“Hmmmm.”
Feeling a bit embarrassed, she cleared her throat a few times before sneaking into her arms.
“I know that? You are my first toy.”
A precious doll that I received as a gift for the first time.
Of course, the first thing I really received was lost while running away, so this was a new one.
“But I won’t lose it anymore.”
Laurent arrived as soon as I was sitting on the bed, stomping my feet, hugging her tightly.
As I went down the stairs with her, Adam and a knight I hadn’t seen before bowed to me.
“I heard that you are going out.”
“huh.”
“Sir Iona, who was with me the other day, was away for other things today, so I brought another knight.”
I nodded at Adam’s explanation and turned around to see a handsome man with a scar on his cheek and a sullen expression standing there.
This guy also looks pretty blunt.
‘Are all the knights blunt?’
It was just when I was thinking about it.
“Wow nice to meet you! miss. It’s called Easter. I will see you today.”
The knight opened his mouth with a wide smile.
And at the same time, the image I had in mind was shattered.
The yellow-haired knight, Easter, lowered his waist to kiss the back of my hand and smiled.
“Oh, the beautiful lady-in-waiting is also with you. I will protect you from any danger, lady.”
Then she got up and flirted with Laurent very casually.
