Chapter 189 – To the Place Where Precious People Are Waiting (3)
A week since the reunion with family members.
Since returning to the mansion, Theorard has had a busy day.
Although Harvey was managing the mansion for him, he couldn’t get involved in things that required the approval of the head of the household or in judging and resolving serious problems, so the work was increasing quite a bit.
Still, there was no time to rest. When I had free time after working in the office, I went outside and got some fresh air, and every time I knew how, the elf came and spent time with me.
It was a lot of work, but the peaceful life was quite pleasing to Theorard. It was an idyllic and rich daily life that made me think that everything had returned to normal.
The only problem was that the war between the Empire and the Demon Lord was imminent.
‘Can this peace really last after the war?’
The worry that fills up in my heart makes me sigh in succession.
However, it was not the head of a family to postpone work in the grip of anxiety.
Theo Rad, who was sitting in his office chair, came to his senses his and concentrated on his work.
The moonlight pouring in from the window illuminates the report in the workshop. In addition, the brightness of the candles was added subtly, creating a quiet atmosphere.
‘Hmm. As the humid weather continues, it is likely that diseases and pests will spread. It’s hard to get anthrax. Tell them to do the prevention work soon…….’
As I was reviewing the report while stroking his chin, a shadow slowly fell. I was started and looked back at her to see a certain witch floating beyond the window. She grinned and waved her hand as her eyes met Theo Rad’s her.
“Hi. Long time no see?”
It’s Dremes. Theorard, who wiped his shocked heart his, put the report down and stood up.
“I didn’t hear you had a knack for surprising people.”
“That’s stupid~ It’s been a while since I saw you, is it like this?”
“It’s not me who’s mean, it’s you. Leaving the door open and reflecting on the window is a courtesy I learned from somewhere…….”
“Oh, how cold! It’s so cold I’m going to freeze to death!”
Dremeth crosses his arms and gives his body an exaggerated flinch. Theorard was so dumbfounded that one eyebrow twitched, but he was a guest who came to visit him anyway, so he had no intention of slamming the door.
“Come in.”
Theorard opens the window and backs away, and Dremeth climbs over the window frame like a stray cat and leaps inside.
The floating broom came in late and clung to Dremeth’s hand.
After checking the condition of his broom and brushing off the dust from his clothes his, Dremeth sat lightly in the chair opposite his desk his.
No matter how much she is a witch, isn’t this enough for her to be ignorant? Theo Rad stuck out her tongue, closed the window again, and sat down in front of the desk.
“Therefore.”
Theorard said, taking care of the scattered papers on the desk.
“Why did you come to the mansion?”
“I have something to ask you. Since Bainen was injured, I came to visit him in the hospital. It’s a good thing.”
“Ah. If it were Baynon, she would be downstairs relaxing.”
“I’ve already been there. She was sleeping well, but when I saw her scolding her for waking her up, her health her seemed okay. She’s a real bitch. I don’t know how fast people are…….”
Her frown and muttering her seemed quite annoyed. I think Bainun played a prank on her because she was friendly, but she seemed to have been hurt by it.
“Anyway……. I have one question for you. May I ask?”
“That’s funny. Even if I told you not to ask, wouldn’t you ask?”
“It is, but…….”
Dremeth, who was embarrassed for a moment, let out a cough.
“Great. So, I’ll just ask you a few simple questions. First of all, you said you were on the side of Princess Benelia, is that true?”
“It happened. War is just around the corner, and I am attacked by the hostile forces of Her Highness Benelia. The only way to protect the family in this situation is to join hands with Her Highness Benelia.”
“That’s right. So next question! Are you sure you are a disciple of the Black Flame Witch?”
“…… What?”
All of a sudden, I couldn’t figure out what nonsense I was talking about. She had never been involved with the witch of black flames, but when she asked if she was her disciple of her, it felt like the thought circuit was stopped.
Dremes, on the other hand, interpreted Theorard’s bewilderment as a surprise.
As if he already knew everything, Dremeth congratulated himself.
“There must be no one in the witch society who doesn’t know that you are a disciple of the witch of black flames. That’s how famous it sounds. Rumors spread even in the dark. It’s to the point where there are rumors that three generations will perish if they touch you.”
“No. What are you talking about now……”
“There is no use in pretending. Because there are people who witnessed with their own eyes how you destroyed the base of a murder group single-handedly. I was curious too, so I went there, but there were gwangpung black spears stuck here and there. Isn’t it normal that the only person who can do this is the Black Flame Witch or her disciple?”
I am at a loss for words because I do not know where to begin to resolve the misunderstanding. If you recite achievements you don’t even know about and say you know you did it, what the hell should I reply?
However, for those who believe that what they believe is right, the person’s answer is not so important. Dre Meth leaned forward and narrowed his black pupils sharply.
“I know everything, so tell me clearly. Is it true that the Black Flame Witch supports Princess Benelia?”
“…….”
“Please answer me seriously. It’s a very important issue for me as well as for the solo union. If this is true, the poison moon union will also be on the side of Princess Benelia.”
If even the Dokwol Guild sided with Princess Benelia, it would be like virtually all witches supporting Benelia.
It would definitely be a great power, but Theorard couldn’t bear to lie. How can you show off your friendship when you’ve never met before?
“I don’t know what you want, but I really don’t know. I have never met the witch of black flame, and I am not her disciple her.”
“Yes? What are you talking about? Obviously you……”
“I have never destroyed the stronghold of a killer group. Did you say there were eyewitnesses? That person is just spreading nonsense. Did you get an answer?”
Dre Meth, who leaned back against her, blinked at her with a rather dazed expression. This is because the answer of Theorard, the person involved, did not match any of the rumors that were actively spreading.
Theorard, well aware of the suspicion in Dremeth’s eyes, let out a low sigh.
“It’s not about telling lies. I would have proudly said that I would have done it. If the Dokwol Guild is on Her Highness Benelia’s side, I won’t be bad. But I’m just saying no because it’s something I haven’t done.”
“Uh……Really?”
“Okay. If you have nothing more to say, just leave. There are many things to deal with.”
Dremeth, nodding his head at Theorard’s decree to celebrate, rose from his seat.
Holding a broom, Dremes tilted his head as if something was strange, then opened the door and went outside.
At the same time, I was started. It was because he saw an elf standing by the door of the office. It is impressive to see Sosogot putting his hands together while wearing a maid uniform.
In addition, the silver hair that shone softly even in the dim hallway and the red eyes resembling corundum made it an unforgettable look.
‘I saw you in the hallway before…….’
I didn’t see her for long, as she quickly disappeared, but she was definitely a maid I’d encountered. Her half-closed eyes and nodded look strangely resembled the witch of black flames.
She had thought the same thing before, but when she looked closer, she somehow seemed more like her. Of course, since they are of different races, they cannot be the same…… ?
‘Wait a moment.’
If Theo Rad hadn’t destroyed the watering group, it would be more correct to say that the Witch of Black Flames personally visited her.
‘No way…….’
After she disguised herself as Theorad using Plymorph magic, she must have destroyed the killer group’s stronghold. It belonged to a fairly difficult task, but it was a skill that the witch of black flames could do well enough.
She said, ‘She also said that 18 years ago she disappeared from Deharm Manor……..’
All circumstances make her suspect that the elf in front of her is the witch of black flames. That’s why you can’t blindly ask if she’s a witch of black flames.
As she ponders what to talk to her about her, her elf turns her head away in annoyance. There was a strange wariness in his red eyes.
“Aren’t you going?”
“Ah. Uh, that’s what…….”
Dremeth, scratching the back of her neck and laughing awkwardly, quickly changed the subject.
“But what are you doing here? Theorad is inside…….”
“The master is at work. So I, the maid, cannot interfere.”
“Aha. So are you waiting outside?”
“Yes. When I finish my work, I will go to your room to talk to you.”
“Okay? So you must have just arrived?”
“No. I was here three hours ago.”
A question mark rises above Dremeth’s head. She said the distance from her office to her in Theo Rad’s room would be about 3 minutes, but she’s been waiting for over 3 hours for those 3 minutes?
It didn’t make sense, but it didn’t matter now. Hmmm. Dre Meth, who had cleared her voice of her, looked at the elf subtly.
“But you mean. Do you know that she is the Black Flame Witch?”
“I don’t know. It hasn’t been long since I came to the human world.”
The answer is immediate. For some reason, he felt like he was being pushed back, but Dremes didn’t give up.
“I see. Then can you give me a name for the magic?”
“A magic name?”
“Well, there is a magic that the Black Flame Witch usually uses, right? It’s called Gwangpung Black Slash…… I recently heard from Paras that the Black Flame Witch doesn’t like this name. Do you even think this magic name is strange?”
The elf nodded her head without hesitation.
“Yes. It’s good. It’s not just disgusting, it’s disgusting.”
“Ahaha……. Even elves don’t like it, right? Okay. If that’s the case, it would be better to give it a new magic name instead of Gwangpung Black Lance. I’m sorry to the witch of the black flame, but since it’s a magic that will remain in the history of the witch society, I thought it should have a name.”
In compiling textbooks, it was the fate of those who passed on knowledge to junior riders to choose magic names that students could easily understand.
In the meantime, I’ve been using it as a black wind spear, but if the person in question doesn’t like it, I have no choice but to change it. Dremeth, who had been pondering for a long time with a serious face, looked back at the elf with a big smile.
“How about this? The raging javelin of the dark giant with the firmament on his back! It’s nice to be reminded of an image when you hear it…….”
Dre Meth stopped talking and shut his mouth. It was because the elf, who had been responding calmly until now, opened her eyes fiercely and looked at her.
“You.”
Life radiates from the elf’s body. As her blood red eyes narrowed to four hundred eyes, everything around her began to freeze. As Dremeth flinched at the sudden sense of intimidation, cold words flowed from the elf’s mouth her.
“Do you want to die?”
