âHigh Priest.â
Inner Seacomert called the old man in a bewildered voice. The old man shook his head as if it was okay.
âDonât worry. Sheâs going to lose it and become a living doll soon, isnât she?â
âIf itâs a living doll, itâs Ashâs specialityâ¦.â
âWhat?â
âNo, nothing.â
Itâs a familiar expression for Ash, so I donât even realize that I said it out loud. I coughed and went on naturally.
âIs that the proof? To be honest, I canât trust the marquisâs son just by hearing your testimony. Donât tell me you donât know that, do you?â
âOh, youâre treating me like Iâm lacking. Of course, I left everything in writing.â
âWhere?â
âItâs in a place you donât have to know.â
Inner Seacomert sighed at the old manâs answer. He seemed relieved.
He seems relieved but what to do, Iâve already heard everything. I put my arms in front of my chest and stood in a comfortable position.
The old man raised his eyebrows in my changed posture.
âI donât have to know, but you do know the place anyway, right? Oh, and you usually collect and store important stuff there. So if some people rob that place, theyâre going to have, not only the evidence but also a lot of wealth, right?â
There must be a lot of evidence there.
The old man laughed in vain at my words.
âYouâre talking nonsense. That way, you wonât be able to confirm it.â
âThatâs true. I wouldnât see it myself. I can show it to others instead.â
The old man seemed to feel something in my attitude for a moment. He looked beyond me and shouted.
âYou!â
âThere was no tailing. Reallyâ¦..â¦one carriage caught up, but there was only one girl inside, so I took care of it and came in.â
Inner Seacomert seemed embarrassed but spoke out quickly.
âAnd even if one of them escaped and went out to call for someone, wouldnât we get out of here before that? Iâve got a movement magic circle engraved on the floor, and activating it is all we need to do. So there would be no problem.â
Only then did I find the colourful patterns on the floor on his words.
Oh, thatâs it.
âFor reference, trying to erase it is useless. It wasnât drawn, it was literally engraved.â
I didnât mean to do that anyway. I shrugged my shoulders.
âHmm.â
The old man regained his composure and looked at me. However, suspicions still lingered in his eyes.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âDid you hear that? Itâs not a situation you can get away with. Additionally, there is only one entrance to the room. And Inner is blocking it.â
âYou donât have to tell me that, I can see that though.â
I grinned.
âI can see him standing there guarding the door like a dog.â
âYouâ¦â¦â¦!â
âCalm down, Inner.â
The old man kept his eyes on me.
He asked in a voice that he could not really understand.
âWhat the hell is this? What do you believe in that you have such a confident attitude? Was it desperate? But it feels different to be like that.â
âWell, I wonder what it is.â
âDid you hide a magic scroll in your body? But itâs no use. You canât use magic in this room. Except for the magic circle that is engraved on the floor with special materials.â
âReally? I see.â
I donât know what the principle is, but it would have cost a lot of money. Wasting the peopleâs donations for this. Ck ck these damn guys.
ââ¦â¦I really donât know. Or have you been so scared that youâve lost your reason? Soâ¦â¦.â
âIâll tell you something.â
Itâs a room where anyone canât use magic, but itâs an exception to divine power.
I can tell it just by looking at them trying to use the enchanted cloth on me. And even if thatâs not the case, does it make sense that the divine power is blocked in the temple?
I slowly opened my mouth.
âI had a good friend called Ari. She was a really good girl. I said good-bye a while ago, but when she left, what was the last thing she said?â
I remembered the last words Ari had left me.
I tried to remember every word she said.
âEonni, the remaining beads are in the bottom drawer of my desk on the left side of my room.â
ââ¦â¦.!â
âWell, thatâs!â
I took a bead out of my arms. The old man who recognized the bead shouted with a pale face.
âInner! Stop him!â
Inner Seacomert rushed at me on the old manâs orders. Of course, I was faster.
Thank you, Ari.
I smashed the marble that turned back the time.
><><><><><><><
I blinked my eyes. Where am I?
Oh, the jewellery store.
When I turned around, Inner Seacomertâs face, smiling, caught my eyes that I wanted to punch him and beat him.
Inner Seacomert opened his mouth in a meaningful voice.
âBut I think I saw the man in the Dukedom a while ago.â
Aha, Iâm back to this moment.
I smiled when I finished my judgment. Inner Seacomert, with a triumphant face, stopped.
ââ¦â¦..what is that smile?â
âSir Davery!â
I ignored and shouted. Immediately, the door of the VIP room opened like a broken door.
âGet him knocked out!â
âWhatâ¦â¦.!â
Sir Davery didnât ask me why. Inner Seacomert, who was struck at his jaw, drooped on the sofa where he was sitting.
Sir Davery knocked Inner Seacomert out and saw me.
âWhatâs going on?â
âConfucius!â
Late in the day, escorts of Inner Seacomert rushed into the VIP room. They faltered when they saw the fainted Inner Seacomert.
How many are there? Thatâs a lot of numbers for escorts. Sadly, they donât seem very loyal.
I said it firmly.
âLetâs go to the palace!â
***
After three days and nights of torture, the High Priest of the Temple of Destruction blew up the place where the evidence was.
It was no use to exclude a second version of the enchanted cloth because it was already found in the old temple where I was taken.
âThe whole time he was tortured, he cried out, Who betrayed him and who told them about the plans.â
Well, itâs himself, of course.
Although he wonât know until he dies, just be curious and leave. Goodbye.
I heard Inner Seacomert was caught while trying to escape.
And the news that the series of processes was so disastrous that it was embarrassing to speak of.
After allâ¦â¦
The tea tastes sweet.
I stared out the window with a relaxed look.
I was going to open the window a little bit to create a mood and let the curtains fly, but I stopped the idea because it was cold.
Iâll be in trouble if I catch a cold. Being healthy is the best.
By the way, who took this tea? The taste was delicious and the scent was very good today.
Bessie looks busy. Is it the butler? Maybe Alex, unexpectedly. Maybe he has been taught a lot of skills by Bessie recently.
I laughed while thinking of that.
I remembered Ari. She helped me even after she went back home. Iâm really grateful for that. By now, she must have finished the tearful reunion with her family and friends, right?
âI gave Sir Muscle Keith a paid vacationâ¦â¦â¦â
Although I broke the bead of time and so the accident eventually didnât happen, he had to be beaten with poison daggers because of me, so it was right to compensate him.
Sir Muscle Keith seemed to be ignorant about the reason, but he seemed happy anyway.
âI have to send something to her, too.â
Thank you to Irene, too. Considering that she stood up in front of the damn Inner Seacomert for me.
It was quite touching and impressive.
âWhat should I give to herâ¦â¦.. Oh, let me send her an invitation first.â
Irene has invited me, but I didnât do the opposite. Thatâs a good idea. First, Iâll ask her what she likes in the letter. Whether itâs sweets or tea.
It was a time when I was immersed in such a peaceful plan.
There was a commotion downstairs. Whoâs here? â¦â¦ Donât tell me?
In a moment, the existence of a Lime Extract brushed against my mind. Later on, it seemed like Lime Extract and Inner Seacomert were probably in the same team.
Did he come here to get revenge?
I put down the teacup and jumped up. Whereâs the iron candlestick?
All right, this will do. Thatâs better. This time, Iâll make sure to shake off his corn.
I was determined to leave the room in a hurry, but the door I didnât touch opened on its own.
The next moment, a welcome voice popped out of my mouth.
âAsh!â
âLidia.â
Without further consideration, I threw the blunt instrument in my hand and ran straight to Ash to hug him. Ash hugged me with his natural movements. There was a pleasant air.
âHow have you been?â
Ash asked, with my face buried in his chest and holding me tightly, not wanting to fall.
I answered in a mumbling voice because of my posture.
âYes.â
âDid nothing happen?â
âThere was.â
Ash paused. The arms that held me relaxed. As I lifted my head feeling the stiffening body, I could see his sunken yellow eyes.
âWhat happened?â
I smiled mischievously at his eyes.
âI was in pain every day because I was holding back what I wanted to see. Such a thing.â
ââ¦â¦.â
The stiff eyes were softened gradually. Ash kissed me on my eyelid by surprise.
I flinched and burst into a faint smile.
âIt tickles.â
âWith such pain, I would have been much worse.â
âReally?â
âI canât even imagine it.â
âAh-ha. Wait, it really ticklesâ¦.â
Ash kissed me as if tormenting all over my face, and the next moment he found my lips.
As soon as the heat penetrated, it naturally tangled with each other. As I hurriedly shared my breath, my body pushed back little by little. I was walking backwards and fell over something at some point.
There was a soft touch to the hips. Oh, bed.
Ash didnât stop kissing me. Of course, I didnât want to stop either. The dizzying sense and warmth that I felt after a long time was so good that I thought it would be okay for the world to stop like this.
