Chapter 62

Kyle was waiting with impatience for Geppel to answer.

*** Erenthal ***

At the moment, priest Erenthal was very embarrassed.

Obviously, his choice was right. Sending Kyle and Sejan into the Second Library was the best of life choice. Or his life would have ended before he could have made another choice.

However, a problem occurred on the second floor.

As soon as he climbed the stairs on the second floor, Kyle literally disappeared like the wind. Correct. It was truer to say that he walked so fast that his eyes couldn’t keep up with him. To the extent that it didn’t seem like human speed.

‘Maybe it’s because he’s the Archduke.’

Erenthal for a moment considered the elegant figure.

While processing all the information, there was a huge blast. The Archduke had finally torn down the wall of the library.

‘…one man cut through the library wall with a dagger. The other guy’s breaking the walls… Oh, you crazy people.’

Erenthal felt it would not be too long before he wrote his resignation.

There was a name that was clearly rigging in Erenthal’s ears.

“… Geppel Luna. I asked what you two were doing now.”

What, Geppel Luna? The High Priest?

‘Where, where, where?’

Erenthal looked around and found an opponent in front of Kyle. It was weird. Kyle was looking at a little kid who looked about ten years old, not Geppel. Besides, that child was a distant relative of the High Priest but couldn’t remember the name of the child.

Anyway, Erenthal thought the archduke had made a mistake, or that, perhaps he had heard it wrong.

‘By the way, isn’t that a little dangerous?’

This was obviously a confrontation.

“What are you doing? Are you asking even after seeing it?”

Then, when a relative’s child spoke with his mouth open, Erenthal coughed up.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

‘That child is dying to die!’

From Erenthal’s side, he could only see the back of the archduke, but it was clear even without looking at it. The dark energy all over his body, the posture; the Archduke’s eyes were already red.

The red eyes of death that bring blood and slaughter.

He thought there were only two people who could stop this situation. One was the madman knight next to him, the other was the Miracle High Priest of the Arcane Temple.

First, Erenthal glanced at the madman knight and shook his head with a desperate look.

‘… no. This guy’s not good.’

This lunatic knight was watching the whole situation developing with a grin, as if this looked like a lot of fun.

But there was hope.

‘The priests will be here soon.’

If there was a loud noise like this, they would come in flock.

It was probably too much for Lantes, but there was the High Priest… As long as he didn’t decide to play hooky.

‘Please, please, I hope the High Priest didn’t play hooky.’

While Erenthal prayed eagerly without knowing whether the child in front of him was Geppel. The conversation between Kyle and Geppel continued.

Kyle burst in anger at Geppel’s reply.

“Are you trying to do what I think you are doing?”

“Well, that’s something I don’t know. How do I know what impure thoughts you have?”

“… You had an impure thought.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Kyle’s temperature dropped below zero at the vague answer.

‘I’m screwed!’

Erenthal ended up feeling in pure despair.

As Kyle’s right hand was gradually shining brighter, a white swirling light. It seemed he was trying to use magic that gathered the element of ice and wind.

If such a thing was true, the library would fly away.

‘Hey, you crazy dragon. Are you so angry that this little boy was with her Highness for a second?’

Someone would think they were having an affair.

‘Even if this is the scene of an affair, I wouldn’t do that!’

Shortly after marriage, the head of a family, priest Erenthal with two children and a foxy wife kept believing that it was important to stick together and survive as a family unit, but… If Erenthal turned a blind eye to such a dangerous situation.

‘As an Arcane priest, you will never be able to raise your head!’

Thus, he was about to rush with his eyes closed.

“No, Kyle.”

A firm voice was heard from the side of the child. It was the voice of her Highness.

“If you use that kind of magic, the library will be blown away. The debris could hurt an innocent person.”

That was right. Riddel’s words were absolutely right, but was it okay? What a reckless thing to say to that fierce beast.

‘You’re going to die, your Highness.’

Erenthal felt nervous but decided to hold his breath and watch the situation developing… Because Kyle stopped.

***

Suddenly, my heart was racing. As I looked at Kyle’s bloodless face. He just stood still, not moving a single step. Like a dead man.

‘I can’t do this. I don’t even know what to say.’

But why?

Kyle snorted faster than I could have said something.

“Riddel Spencer. You’re saying such a ridiculous thing. It would be you who broke the promise first. Where the hell are you talking about?”

That was right.

Kyle was so angry that he couldn’t control his emotions. He would have already destroyed the temple if it had been the case, but he had only one strand of reason left.

My head was full of thoughts, trying to find one that could silence Kyle’s anger. The thoughts were colliding around to the point of dizziness, I began to complain about the injustice of the situation.

“Of course, it’s true that we were together without telling you. As a result, it’s true that I didn’t keep my promise. I’m really sorry about that.”

“…”

“But this was unexpected, and I… This kid just found me a book with…”

“Are you worried about that and trying to hide his identity in this situation? What a tearful sight.”

It was clearly counterproductive.

Kyle was colder than ever before. Moreover, he was not even happy that I was conscious of Erenthal and trying to hide Geppel’s identity.

As a matter of fact, I was really upset.

I knew Kyle was right about what I said earlier, but it was all about lifting his curse. I’ve never done anything shameful in the first place.

Tock, tock.

Moments later, there was the sound of Kyle approaching. Only Kyle’s footsteps were clearly heard in the grotesque silence.

Geppel clearly wanted to stop Kyle at any moment. Keeping himself in check, he watched the situation a little more before stepping up when it became dangerous. There was something Geppel wanted to confirm about their relationship, and this was Riddel’s appreciation.

My eyes gradually wavered looking at Kyle’s, so cold eyes. It’s been a long time since I saw his eyes so cold.

Finally, Kyle approached me and opened his mouth.

“Riddel Spencer. What the hell do you want from me?”

“…”

“Do you really think I won’t do anything to you?”

“…”

“I could imprison you for the rest of your life, or your parents, or even destroy yourlove-struck love, Doman Woodhill, to shreds.”

“…”

“As long as I live, you are mine. So from now on, listen to me…”

“No.”

While I listened to Kyle silently, I abruptly cut him off. It was a tone lower than usual, something understated.

“Kyle, I’m not yours.”

Shortly thereafter, I opened my mouth while gently shaking my head. It was a sign that Kyle was wrong.

“I can’t be owned by anyone… I am not an item to be own.”

His eyes, which were out of focus, stared silently at me. I thought to myself.

‘There must be some reason left within him.’

It wasn't that Kyle loosened the magic orb that was hanging on my hand. Nevertheless, I could tell.

‘He didn’t cast magic.’

If it were him, he would have attacked without mercy several times before he was so angry.

‘Kyle’s reason still remains.’

Furthermore, it was also proof that Kyle could listen to me. I didn’t want to miss this opportunity.

“Does Kyle really want to hurt me? You want to lock me up and kill my parents? You don’t.”

“…”

“I like the people of the Great Duchy. I also like Kyle.”

“Good… Everything…?”

Kyle, who had been listening to me all along, responded for the first time. I stepped up his words on the strength of the act.

“Yes, I like Kyle. That’s why I don’t want to leave the Great Duchy. So collect your anger.”

Sadly, however, the dark energy surrounding Kyle and the form of the magic sphere he was unfolding remained unchanged and bloody brutal.

His expression also remained stiff.
