[Episode 38]
“Master.”
“Lucilion…?”
When I turned my head, I saw Lucillion with a pale face. I let out a short breath.
“You look urgent…”
“Ah.”
“I delivered a letter to the red dragon and told the white fox that everything was fine.”
“Yeah thanks. But you have to leave immediately.”
“Yes, I will.”
Lucillion carried Enosh on his back.
Due to being ill for a long time, Enosh, despite being 12 years old, was one head smaller than Lucillion, who was 12 years old, and sat helplessly on Lucillion’s back.
“Haha, to be carried on the back of an insignificant squire that stinks of sweat… There is no shame like this.”
Even in this situation, he still says this…
“Where can I go?”
“Imperial castle… Guard Asron…”
Enosh, who was answering Lucillion’s question without changing his complexion, dropped his head without being able to finish his words.
“hey! Enoshi!”
Man, don’t die here!
I waved at him and called out, but there was no response.
Lucillion emitted that mysterious white light again, but unlike before, it had no great effect.
“…I need to go a little faster, Master.”
There are too many people around.
If you take me with you, your speed will be slower and the chances of being caught will increase.
“Go first.”
“master.”
“I will wait for you here. Is it the earth if you use a bale like before?”
“…Yes, it’s not magical power that surrounds this curtain, and even wizards don’t know. It’s invisible to anyone, so if you don’t make a sound, you probably won’t find out.”
He looked back and forth between me and Enosh on his back for a moment, then let out a short sigh.
“Originally, I want to be by Master’s side, but…”
He slowly lowered his eyes.
“Master, I will go. I will be back soon.”
“huh.”
Lucillion’s blue eyes seemed to become more saturated, but he disappeared in an instant.
The bush swayed slightly. It was clear that he had probably used some invisible method, similar to a shield.
I let out a deep sigh, sat down on a tree as my back, and hugged my knees.
‘If I received it safely and read it, I’ll develop it right away.’
I wrote down all the ingredients, so I just need to find a combination, but I wondered if Callan Etam would do it right away.
Is it like that in the capital anyway? It seems like you keep getting caught up in strange things.
‘I don’t think it would be good for my mental health to just go back to the orphanage…’
It’s a problem that I have to take Richard away… but
…
It’s because you’re not interested in me.
‘By the way, today’s heroine really didn’t seem to have been kidnapped…’
Anyway, when Richard and Lucillion meet the heroine, they will fall in love with it.
Because that’s the fate
Originally, it was supposed to be the heroine, not me, who was kidnapped here, and it was supposed to be the heroine who cut her face with Enosh here.
Afterwards, the two become friends until Enosh dies.
Enosh… didn’t like the female lead as a member of the opposite sex. I loved you as a friend, though.
‘I’m tired.’
It was just when I buried my face between my knees.
Basrak-
My ears pricked up at the sound of brushing the bushes. I slowly raised my head, holding my breath as much as possible.
As soon as I saw the person who turned the corner and appeared from a little distance away, my breath stopped.
It was a man wearing a red dragon mask.
In one hand, I was holding tightly the envelope and letter paper that I clearly wrote, but the crumpled things looked like my future.
He strode closer to me.
It was difficult to guess what he was thinking because he was wearing a mask and his expression was completely invisible.
‘You didn’t come looking for me…?’
Ay no way
Erno Etam isn’t that passionate, is he?
Did I say something too presumptuous?
It wasn’t, but there didn’t seem to be anything like that in the letter.
Was the writing too crooked?
I still have small hands and I don’t know the stroke order, so I wrote it clumsily like writing English. Still… the writing was big and crooked.
It felt like a combination of Thai and Latin, so I couldn’t follow it.
How can I watch and read…
‘Or is it because I wrote that I don’t know the source of the information?’
Obviously, you can’t trust information you don’t know the source of, so you must have checked it out.
In this case, there was a high probability that he had come to find Lucillion.
‘…Or do you think I stole the fragment?’
But I just gave it back…
It’s not the earring, but even if it wasn’t the same thing, the effect would be the same…
‘Why the hell…?’
Are you also looking for something disgusting?
The man in the red dragon mask got closer and closer. Just in case, I raised my hand and covered my nose and mouth.
‘I can’t even breathe.’
Erno Etam’s sensitivity has been written about several times in novels, so if he does something wrong, he will definitely be found out.
“The traces lead this way…”
I closed my eyes tightly at the sound of his cool voice.
It’s not the low, soft voice I’ve always heard. It is a voice with frosty feet, like walking barefoot on ice after sinking coldly.
I had my mouth closed so much that I was suffocating.
My face flushed red and I wanted to twist my whole body, but I couldn’t breathe because he didn’t leave the area.
‘No way. If I do this, I will choke and die first.’
He closed his eyes and bit his tongue. It was to wake up as much as possible.
‘Please…’
Erno Etam turned slowly. He went back the way he came.
By the time he turned the corner, I removed my hand from covering my mouth and took a deep breath.
“Heo-eok…”
It was a breath I barely let out, holding my voice down as much as I could in case he heard it.
He and I were several hundred meters apart, so he probably couldn’t hear it.
But at that moment, Erno Etam’s steps stopped.
he turned around
Then he started walking toward me again.
I hurriedly raised my hand again and covered my nose and mouth.
The trampled grass seemed to be watching me somehow. Goosebumps ran down my spine from fear.
This time it was completely right in front of me.
“Why…”
He opened his mouth slowly.
“Why are you hiding?”
The voices scattered in the air contained information that I did not know who it was reaching.
Her voice had been cool until just now, but now it has softened a lot, and it is as soft as a carpet.
I rolled my eyes.
‘Looking for Lucillion?’
It was clear that he had noticed that someone was here.
However, Erno Etam, as written in the novel, would have made a mess around here to find Lucillion.
However, he hadn’t drawn his sword or spilled his mana.
“Didn’t you want to meet me?”
“…”
“Did I be afraid of you?”
“…”
I don’t think this is something I’m saying to Lucillion.
“…Eirin.”
“Sigh…”
Oh, without realizing it, I let go of my hand and took a deep breath.
He must have known where I was. If not, you must have noticed that someone was here.
‘How did you know it was me?’
It was only a single inhalation from a distance of only a few hundred meters.
‘Will it bounce?’
If I turn around and run away like this… I’m sure I’ll be caught. That didn’t sound like a good way.
It would be nice if Lucillion showed up and pretended to be the one who was actually hiding quickly
.
‘Erno Etam isn’t stupid and can’t be fooled.’
So, how can I get over this difficulty?
After all, do we have no choice but to face each other? If it’s something like that, I want to do it at least when Lucillion is around…
“Did you hate me now…?”
The low voice sank heavily.
“Please answer Eirin.”
“…”
When I slowly raised my head to face the voice I was ignoring, he was looking straight at me.
‘When did the shield disappear…?’
My brief thoughts vanished the moment Erno Etham got down on one knee in front of me.
I shook my head slowly with a blank face.
“…you called me daddy.”
“…”
“You decided to do my daughter.”
“…”
“I decided to make you my daughter. Did you not like that?”
At the question that met our eyes, I shook my head.
“No… I don’t hate it…”
But I’m nothing.
Etam’s blood wasn’t even half blood, and he didn’t have great power, and he was an insignificant lizard beast.
“Then stay with me.”
He said.
“Anytime until I tell you to leave…”
Erno Etham reached out to me slowly, just like then.
“Stay by my side.”
Just like the time you reached out to me who had become a lizard.
‘…Ah, so this person reached out his hand at that time.’
The belated realization hit me in the back of the head.
