Chapter 136
The sword that stopped in front of my eyes shone sharply. I swallowed my breath at the sharpness that if it came down even a little further, my bangs would have been cut off.
Not knowing why it stopped, I struggled to escape from under the sword.
“Ha…”
A deep sigh of relief flowed out when I was completely free as the man in front of me groaned. Like a broken machine, he moved his arms and legs in bizarre directions before collapsing. At the same time, the red eyes shining inside the helmet disappeared without a trace, and he collapsed.
“What a useless thing!”
Cassandra appeared from behind him. I stared at her casually, clutching what was in my hand.
“Why is the young kid arrogantly glaring at your ancestor?”
Cassandra stepped back and didn’t stop her words.
“Ha, the descendant of the Saint, is truly her descendant. How did you manage to knock it over?”
She brushed her hair that was roughly the same color as mine, as I glared at her, repeating what she had said to me.
…Descendant of the saint?
Was I a descendant of the saint?
“I really hate you. I just hate you, and I hate your whole body.”
Her words seemed to bounce in my ears. I was distracted by what she had just said. My brain started to spin tight when I heard that I was the descendant of the Saint and that I had defeated that huge man.
What did I do before he struck me down with his sword?
Was the thing I was holding in my hand something special?
While fiddling with the object in my hand, I continued to glare at Cassandra. I wanted to knock that woman down. I hated her, who had been bullying me for so long.
“I hate you, too. What the hell have I done to you for you to torture me like this?”
It was so cold that I wondered if it was truly my voice. I spoke in a voice I had never uttered before.
“It was not my intention that I took possession of this body. But you deliberately tried to have this body. For your benefit. And then mentioning the word ‘ancestor’? How can the ancestors block the future of their descendants? No matter how unfair it is, you have to pay for it.”
Hearing my words, Cassandra rushed in with her eyes overturned. Her grip on my shoulder was sharp.
The red eyes in front of my nose shone ferociously as if she had captured prey.
I tried to remember what I did to the big man as I struggled not to be pushed by her. Still, what I did was nothing special. The only thing there was that I was very shocked, and I stiffened. Then, as I watched the sword come down, I remembered that I had let go of my breath.
Did it make sense that I defeated a huge man with just that?
However, as I competed with Cassandra, who rushed at me like a crazy woman, I followed the situation from before. I held my breath and inhaled deeply. Then Cassandra’s expression in front of my nose was completely distorted.
At the same time, the power that weighed me down disappeared. Also, strange things popped into my mind.
Come to think of it, I wasn’t very strong. My strength was not good enough to overcome the force pressing down from above. Regardless, I easily defended against Cassandra, who was determined to strangle me while thinking of something else even.
It was easy to predict what would happen. I could tell by chasing the magic that looked like a thin thread.
I could confirm with my own eyes that Cassandra’s red magic was connected to me.
And in my mind, the illusion magic circle she spreads was automatically drawn. I slowly raised my body as I stared at her, who had eyes wide open as she stood still.
Besides, I made the same illusion.
Just like what I saw before, the crushed shape gradually changed into a figure that looked exactly like me.
I created the magic that Cassandra did for me.
A feeling of ecstasy burned from my fingertips. I was a person with no powers. If it wasn’t for Oscar, Damian, and Lucian, such a weak existence that would have no choice but to be chased like today. When I found out that I had no ability, even after possessing a fantasy webtoon, it was very sad.
I wanted to help Lucian even a little bit, but I could only take care of him. I had no ability, so it was as if my job was predetermined.
But, what if I have the ability?
And what if Cassandra, who always couldn’t get enough of me, was looking at me with that bewildered face?
It was a dream, but it looked like I’d be able to kill her.
No, not exactly…
“I think I can make you pass over.”
As she spoke in a heightened voice, her face hardened even more. Chasing the red magic that was still connected, I rode on top of her body.
It was a scene in stark contrast to the situation just before. The magical energy was connected to my lips, exactly my breath. My breath kept her motionless like an animal caught in a trap. And as I brought my face close to her lips and took a deep breath…
“Hiiickk!”
Cassandra let out a strange scream. Seeing her so frightened, it seemed as if the congestion I had been feeling for so long had gone.
“Stop it now and go back. If you’re dead… Let go of the living.”
I wanted her to release not only her body but also her memories…
The family who held my memory and brain came to mind. So, when I stopped breathing for the slightest moment, Cassandra screamed in a fit.
“The, the breath of God!”
Thanks to that, I came back to my senses, and I planned to suck all her breath as she said.
As I was about to take a deep breath, a very familiar hand caressed me. Even with that tender stimulation, I was dragged straight from my dream. As if I had been diving very deeply without even realizing it, the feeling of being pulled came for a very long time.
I drew in a quick breath as if struggling out of the water.
“Hu-uhp…”
Without opening my eyes properly, I intertwined my fingers in the hand that was sweeping my face and hair.
“Ha… Luci.”
“…You slept soundly as if you were dead.”
In the end, it must have been in my mind that I couldn’t handle Cassandra, and I called out to her in a reproachful voice. I slowly opened my eyes, holding his hand as I sputtered out words like excuses in an urgent voice.
Brilliant light was falling brightly, and my eyes were dazzled as if I was seeing magical powers.
After blinking a few times, my eyes focused. I reached out my other hand toward him, who was looking down at me with a concerned face.
I gently hugged his cheek and smiled softly.
No, it was a rather satisfying smile. It was unbearably pleasing to think that I would be able to help him and not just be protected by him incompetently. As I lifted my upper body and clung to his neck, something fell from my chest.
Tuk.
I picked up an object that had fallen between us and looked at it. The gemstone-like object looked like a pool of blue paint inside a transparent gem. Since I have a certain level of knowledge when it comes to jewelry, I slightly tilted my head at a gemstone I had never seen before.
Then, he asked with a puzzled face.
“Why do you have a magic stone?”
His words reminded me of the cave I had seen in my dream. It stung when I hit the wall, and then I grabbed something that had fallen in my hand.
It was definitely a dream…
…So why was this falling out of my arms?
I also gazed up at him, unable to hide my doubts, as the golden eyes shone darkly.
Before waking Rachel, Lucian went through the list of suspects his father had given him and noticed something suspicious. He put down the documents he was looking at, opened the drawer, and took out the list of traitors he had been keeping before checking it against the list of suspects.
“Hmm…”
As expected, many of the people seen on the list of suspects were also on the list of traitors.
“How should I interpret this…”
He put the two lists on his desk and thought about it.
Tap-tap, a knocking sound filled the space where only the sound of knocking on the desk echoed. Then, the aide who was with him in the office got up and opened the door.
“Greetings, previous Duke.”
Hearing his aide’s polite greeting, Lucian raised his eyes and looked at the person entering the room confidently.
“How about taking a short break?”
At Pedro’s low words, the aides looked at Lucian in unison. It was because, even if it was the previous Duke, the person they should follow was the current Duke, Lucian.
“You may.”
With his permission, the aides left the office in perfect order. From the low sigh of relief to the slightly agitated voice, it seemed that they were quite hungry for a break.
Pedro laughed as he watched them leave while Lucian got up from his seat and asked.
“What brings you to the office?”
“I stopped by for a while before going to the Imperial Palace.”
Pedro, who answered indifferently, sat down on the sofa, and Lucian sat across from him, holding the two lists. He asked while watching from afar as his son laid down the list one by one on the table.
“What is this?”
“Let me ask you first. Why are you going to the Imperial Palace?”
If the Emperor took issue with having a person from the Erland family as the duchy, it was right for Lucian to go.
Still, Pedro was going first?
It was a strange feeling, so Lucian couldn’t help but ask.
For the first time, Pedro, who had been silent and alone when something happened, expressed his opinion to his son.
