Chapter 726 – #156_The Fugitive
#726
One.
The true duty of a wise mother and wife is to follow and help the husband’s will.
However, if the decision could put Nanggun in danger, he had to sacrifice himself to stop it.
Therefore, the reason Linne decided to go to the Rosie mansion is because his decision seemed reasonable to her.
Hexsenacht is no longer a city that guarantees safety.
Since adding even one person’s power is directly related to increasing the probability of escape, we are faced with a situation where we have to take some risk.
And even in Linnaeus’ eyes, his plan wasn’t far-fetched.
As a result of repeating hiding and moving, Lydia is not actively pursuing her right now.
However, as time passes and the Great Council is over, Lydia’s tracking network will have a tighter snare.
If you’re going to take on a risk, there’s no better moment than right now.
At this point, it is a reverse idea for the fugitive to go near the ‘moon’ and far away from Hyangwolru.
The lack of manpower is probably deployed mainly on the roads leading to lower towns.
Heading to Rosie’s mansion could rather result in a twist in the escape route and avoid an unfortunate confrontation.
“Why did you kill Rosie?”
As she couldn’t use the lift, Linnaeus decided to ask what she was questioning while she went around the other route.
“That….”
“It’s a situation where you are in the same boat. This time, speak frankly and without hesitation.”
I didn’t know if it was the right thing to tell the truth straight away.
But Rinne gave up a lot to save Siu.
She told the truth because it made her feel uncomfortable even as Siu to cheat on such a person again.
“… This is how it happened.”
“…….”
Lynne nodded her head.
At first, Rinne thought Shin Si-woo was her complete peer.
The owner of a truly public mindset who pushes himself to the limit for the sake of strength.
However, the gap between nature and mimicry is naturally revealed as time goes by.
She is Rinne, who has confirmed the identity of the part where she has felt a strange sense of incongruity in dealing with Nanggun.
It was her caring heart for others, just as Linne gave up putting her foot on her new stairway for her Siu.
It was a problem in an area that Linnaeus could not easily understand.
But for some reason, he looks good like that.
Considerate.
Be kind
Cool.
It is all the more so in that it is not her mere hypocrisy, but her sincerity in neglecting her own danger.
Rinne stared at his profile for no reason.
“Right.”
Siwoo was surprised at Rinne’s plain reaction.
Of course, I did not expect praise, and it is the truth that I revealed in mind that I would hear her bitter voice saying that she did something wrong.
To start with the cause, isn’t the reason why Rinne attacked Lydia’s workshop was because Siwoo ran amok without looking at the circumstances?
“Good job. But next time, consider the situation a little more.”
However, after receiving advice along with words of encouragement, once again I feel like, “Did I eat something wrong?”
Come to think of it, I heard from Lydia that Rinne described Siu as a ‘nanggun’, but did that have anything to do with it?
“Master. I heard a little strange story from the witch of gold coins.”
“What?”
“Please don’t be offended and listen. Lydia said that Master called me a lover….”
The moment Siwoo was about to speak, Rinne’s arm stretched out and blocked her chest.
She lets out a soft ‘hush’ sound from her pursed lips, announcing that she is about to kill her presence.
At the same time, he quietly takes out a small sword.
Has the chase finally caught up?
Siwoo clings to the wall with a sense of tension and is wary of his surroundings.
“…….”
“…….”
However, after a while, there is no sign of anything.
As long as there is no cover, no witch can hide in front of Siwoo.
“The conversation ends here. Move quietly.”
Despite Rinne’s dubious behavior, Siwoo didn’t have any big doubts.
I’m sure he’s been moving too loudly up until now, so I can only assume he’s trying to be careful from now on.
With enough care, the two entered Rosie’s mansion and secured Manja, Malisha, and Mama.
2.
Siu opened the collection room of the hidden workshop.
“Sah, lived….”
“That crazy bitch….”
Contrary to their worries, Mana and Malisha’s condition was relatively fine.
No matter how sadistic Rosie was, it seems that she couldn’t unleash her sadistic feelings toward the two of Rinne’s possessions.
“I will repay this favor unconditionally! Thank you for saving me!”
“Is your sister all right?”
Of course, she embraced Siwoo and shed tears of rescue.
However, the cheerful atmosphere did not last.
Mama, because there was a black witch.
She is an unlucky witch who has unwittingly lost her apprentice.
“Thank you.”
Putting on the cloak Shiu gave her, she quietly expressed her gratitude.
Then, she gently stroked the cheek of her apprentice witch who was lying on the sofa with the back of her hand.
The eyes, which had turned dark and no longer reflected hope, might have expected this ending.
Without shedding any tears.
Without showing any emotion.
Just hug Pina’s body tightly.
Even if the culprit of the evil deed is punished, the tragedy that has already occurred cannot be undone.
Siu averted his eyes from the sight that felt stuffy.
I hope in vain that Rosie’s death has brought her some comfort.
The codes for Mana and Malisha were already in possession of Linne, so they were released through formal procedures, and Mama’s leash was removed with the help of Mystic Eye, just like Siu.
“…….”
“Master?”
However, the situation changed rapidly, leaving no room for grief.
Rinne’s physical condition was unusual.
Lips are blue
Cold sweat, which had begun to form on his forehead, soon formed on the tip of his chin and dripped down.
The small spasm that began at her fingertips did not subside.
This was a variable that even Rinnae had not anticipated.
It was because he was in a state where he was not properly aware of the kind of magic that Lydia called the ‘reaper’.
However, the effect was obvious at a glance, and during the four hours of stealth from Almak Town to Rosie’s mansion, Rinne’s condition worsened.
She was just exposed enough to hide it no longer.
“Are you okay?”
At this point, when the two of them have to move as one body and head to the medicine shop, the worst thing to do is to bluff and catch their ankles.
Therefore, Linnaeus spoke frankly.
“Not okay.”
“Have you been hurt before?”
“…….”
Lynne nodded her head.
And she stumbles as if her light movements are too much for her.
Siwoo knows what kind of person Rinne is.
Even if a raw bone is broken during sparring, instead of complaining of pain, he smiles and is more engrossed in sparring.
Moreover, if Rinne, who has almost no emotional expression, is having a hard time visibly like that, this is not normal.
“I’ll look at the wounds.”
“Okay. Go back first.”
It’s not something I can do right now, but I wanted to see how much of an injury it was.
Siu grabbed Rinne’s wrist as she tried to turn away.
“No. I will see your wounds.”
Due to the nature of her haze dress, which she likes to wear, her top and bottom are one, so she inevitably had to unhook her hem.
Rinne resists, as if trying to get rid of her body.
As she grabs her belt to keep her from turning around, she speaks as soon as Linne, who is still, whispers her whispers.
“… There are many eyes to see. Be a little restrained.”
“Yes?”
“Anyway, to another room….”
“… Ugh.”
It sure looks like it hurts a lot.
Seeing that Rinne even talk nonsense like this.
Looking closely, she sees that her eyes are half-closed, just like when she had been drinking before.
“It’s not like that, I’ll just check the wounds.”
Siu carefully loosened the belt of his uniform.
I just put my face close to her skin and I feel the boiling heat.
Because arrhythmia constantly occurs on the wrist she is holding, it is doubtful whether this is a human pulse.
He didn’t even look at her breasts and lifted the fabric from her side.
A long scar is visible above the narrow waist.
“…….”
It looks more like a scar than a wound.
Around the affected area, blood vessels that turned purple were bulging, and goose bumps appeared on the skin, perhaps because of the pain.
Unbeknownst to Rinne and Siu, it is the death god that Lydia summons in return for her gold coins.
If you compare it to a game, it is an ‘instant kill’ that leads the opponent to death as soon as the conditions are met by offering a certain value.
Although her spells were not perfect, and even if Rinne had missed some of her spells, a slow death was coming as her gigantic scythe clawed her side.
Therefore, even at this moment when Shiu was examining his condition, Rinne’s injuries were slowly expanding.
For now, I have no choice but to show the wound to Yebin as soon as possible.
If she had known things were this bad, she wouldn’t have been stubborn….
Judging from the speed at which the wound grew, it must have been quite severe from the halfway point towards the mansion.
What did Siwoo ask you to do and come all this way together?
The feeling of debt that is accumulating for no reason and Linne’s devoted attitude that can’t be guessed at all.
I really don’t understand now.
“Master, if the situation is this bad, you should have told me.”
“…….”
As he adjusted the hem of her clothes and tied her belt again, Rinne leaned into Siwoo’s arms.
In fact, rather than hugged, it seems to have collapsed.
Her panting breath warmed her chest with body heat like a ball of fire.
“A wise wife…. It is a law to devote yourself to Giabi.”
At first glance, you might think that Rinne, suffering from high fever and pain, is talking nonsense.
However, Siu felt as if he had been beaten in the head.
Because I just discovered that her remarks ran through a series of actions that I didn’t understand.
She entered the confirmation process with a hopeless feeling.
“Master.”
“…….”
“By any chance, am I Giabi?”
“…….”
Light enters Rinne’s eyes, which have become blurry, and shines on Siwoo.
And then, perhaps because of the heat, her cheeks flushed red.
The fine hair that was starting to get wet with sweat.
Rinne lowered her gaze silently and licked her lips.
“Yes. I will serve you as my consort.”
“…….”
“So, please be my companion.”
Seeing Rinne’s proposal that popped out at an unexpected timing, Siu opened her mouth in dismay.
