Chapter 83 – The Young Lady I Want to Love (6)
Eshili involuntarily inhaled a breath.
The garden of the castle is large. The end to end of the garden was so far away that even a person’s face could not be discerned.
So she got caught off guard. They made a mistake by not putting the remarkable eyesight of the elf race into the standard of judgment.
A thin trembling breath blurs Essilly’s eyes. She tried to maintain her aloof complexion her somehow, but it was n’t easy for her.
The elf did not miss that subtle atmosphere. The elf who had been staring at her Esily smiled as relaxedly as her her predator her at her prey her.
“Well, it was strange from the beginning. The young lady who said she hated the master was more irritable than expected in the drawing room of the mansion the other day. If you truly hated Master, there was no way you would fall for my provocation, right?”
“…….”
“I am curious. Since when have you been deceiving me……. It’s funny. Did you think the young lady would be able to play with me over and over again with that little hair?”
A cool glare flickered in the elf’s red eyes.
I’m afraid of the eyes that seem to let go of the tyranny that they can kill you right now. The air around her freezes, and a feeling of intimidation overwhelms her body, making it difficult to breathe.
The temperature in the hallway changed drastically, and the exhaled breath of her was tinged with chill.
‘Cold…….’
Essilly was not familiar with her magic, but she felt that the strange phenomenon caused by the elves was a miracle far beyond her ordinary knowledge of her.
Because this was not the elf’s intention to her. The magic that controlled the temperature in her hallway her contained neither incantation nor will.
Just because she was in a bad mood, the mana leaking out of the elf’s body took over her everywhere.
In short, it was said that the elf’s unconscious was manifested by magic and was intimidating Essilly.
As far as Esily knows, even superhumans called archmages cannot replace unconsciousness with magic. This is because magic is basically the expression of will through the medium of higher knowledge.
Even so, the elf in front of me was easily controlling the climate as if it were a god.
Esily was afraid of it, but she also found it funny.
“Also……. You were no ordinary elf.”
His voice her was shaking, but his pronunciation her was clear. I don’t know if it’s more than enough fear that paralyzed reason, or if hatred for the opponent overcame fear.
One thing was certain, essentially had no intention of losing to the elf.
“Tell me. Being caught by a slave hunter is actually a lie, right? You wanted to be Theorad’s slave from the start……. When you think about it, it didn’t make sense.”
Breathing begins to calm down. It’s tough at this level, but bearable. After holding his trembling hand her and calming him down, Esily continued.
“Theorard went that day to buy a slave to use as a laborer in the workshop, not a sex slave. The Theo Rad I know is the kind of person who, once he has a plan, he doesn’t spend money. He is always a straight and upright man.”
But strangely. Esily muttered lowly and looked straight into her elf eyes.
“Theorard bought you like someone possessed and returned to the mansion. Aren’t you curious? You who have ridiculously strong power, when Theo Rad went to the slave market, he was sold as a wrath like fate? The same goes for Theo Rad, who was not interested in women’s sex, and bought you out of his original plan of his.”
“…… What do you want to say?”
“For some reason, you were deliberately sold for Theorard. And now, Theorard is unilaterally harassing her by forcing her to do something she doesn’t like.”
Esily frowned at her.
“Disgusting, you.”
Her shoulders her twitch at Esily’s accusation of her. The elf opened her mouth to answer her question, then closed it again.
Do not be swayed by the words of the other person.
Because what mattered now was that Esily had been playing her part to fool herself.
Letting her do sophistry is only wasting time. Her elf her, who had made up her mind her, narrowed her eyes.
“Don’t turn around. I’m sorry about the lady cheating on me-“
“The Black Flame Witch.”
Her elf her froze with her mouth open. Why did those words come out of Ashley’s mouth her? How much does that woman know? An unknown fear crept into the elf’s heart.
“I have been questioning about your identity. After the ball, I bribed some of the servants of Deharm Mansion to keep an eye on you. But it was in vain. In the mansion, you were thoroughly playing a slave, and no matter where you looked, there was no information about the red-eyed elf.”
Then one day. Information sources spread across the empire told Esily that the ‘Witch of the Black Flame’ had returned.
It was a rather sudden appearance, but because it was so out of the blue, suspicion arose.
She immediately contacted Deharm Mansion and asked if the Elf Slave had been away from the mansion for some time, bribing the turbulent side of her weaving her and ordered her to gather information about the Witch of the Black Flames. Got off
Thanks to the informants faithfully fulfilling the order, today, Essili was able to find out when Paras, a student at the academy, and the Witch of Black Flames met.
“The time the Black Flame Witch appeared in Baron Brenu’s territory and the time you left the mansion perfectly matched. Going to catch the Minotaur to get milk and bringing pudding to the mansion add evidence to my conviction.”
I wondered if it was an illusion, so I collected information separately to see if elves were active in the county at that time, but none of the vendors at the stalls or the regular patrolling soldiers had ever seen elves.
She testified that no one in her time had seen an elf with pointy ears, brilliant silver hair, red eyes, and an unforgettable appearance.
That’s in line with the fact that the elves left the county of Pelgarin and spent time elsewhere. No matter how you look at it, it was Baron Brenou’s territory.
“So I have no choice but to see you as a witch of black flames. What if everyone knew this?”
“…… From the perspective of someone other than Lady, I’m just a slave. No one will believe it anyway.”
“Yes. If someone other than me said that.”
“Young lady.”
“Do you think that the words of the daughter of Count Pelgarin will be powerless? The Witches’ Association will call in a skilful astrologer to verify the truth through a psychiatric appraisal, even if it means not to fall for Chuck with the Pelgaroin family. Then it’s only a matter of time before your true identity is revealed.”
The brain gets complicated. How the hell did you find out?
I thought she was a cunning woman, but I didn’t know that she was digging so persistently. She was in trouble, but she didn’t care much.
The elf nodded her head lightly.
“It is not wrong. However, revealing the hand of her would not be a good choice. Don’t you think that I will erase the lady’s memories of her?”
It was a sincere threat, but Eshili didn’t blink an eye.
“I told other informants. If I lose my memory and behave like a different person, or if I disappear or die, take out the personal letter that I have hidden and deliver it to the Witch Association and the system.”
Here, the ‘hidden personal letter’ refers to a letter in a place whose location is only known to the head maid and a few reliable informants. Since the seal of the Pelgarin family is stamped on it, those who receive the letter cannot ignore the contents of the letter.
This was Esily’s strategy his to fight against the elves. Unless the elf finds the location or identifies and kills all of Essilly’s informants, the elf cannot harm Essily.
“I’m not sure what you want from Sir Theorard, but you’re afraid of breaking the current game. The moment your identity is revealed, the daily life you’ve built up so far will be shattered.”
So you can’t kill me It cannot erase memories, nor can it cause harm.
“Of course, I won’t tell anyone else, let alone Theorad, that you are the Witch of the Dark Flame. You never know what you’re going to do if your plans go wrong.”
Likewise, Esily also had no idea what to do with the elves.
If you spread information at your own will at a point where you don’t even know how strong the other person is, both sides will be on the verge of deterioration.
[The identity of the elf slave in the house of Viscount Deharm is the witch of black flame]
Propositions that can be expressed in one sentence became an unbreakable chain, tying each other’s feet together.
Esily and the elves. The moment anyone breaks the chain first, they cannot achieve what they want. The elf knew that too, so he clenched his fists in silence.
‘On the subject of the cheeky short-lived species…….’
If she put her mind to it, she could make Essilie die right now. It could have erased all memories and made me live like an idiot for the rest of my life.
But I haven’t been able to do that yet. It was necessary to be a docile sheep in order to ascertain whether what Theorard said eighteen years ago was sincere.
The elf, who struggled to suppress his anger his, accepted Esily’s negotiations.
“Right now, I’ll follow the young lady’s words her. But don’t think that arrogant ways will work forever.”
The elf sighed and walked past Esily. The sound of her shoes kicking off the pavement echoes hollowly in the wide hallway.
“I…!”
At that time, Esily’s cry made her stop the elf.
In the space where they stood still with their backs to each other, Essilie cried out with her tears in her eyes.
“I love Theorard!”
I’ve lived a much longer time than you, looking only at Theorad.
As for Theorard, I knew better than you.
Essilie could never forgive the elf who tried to steal Theorad.
“So someday, even if I become the family head of Pelgarin…… !”
Ever since I was born, I had never once thought of wanting to become the family head of Pelgarin.
However, after the first brother fell victim to the war and the second brother joined the rebels, his thoughts changed.
I don’t want to lose someone I love anymore. Even though I knew the situation, I hated the frustration of being lethargic.
That’s why I will covet power.
Power is needed to overcome irrationality moderately. The only way for Esily, who was only a daughter, to have enormous power, was to become the head of the Pelgaroin family.
Esily, who lit a fire in her heart her, clenched her teeth tightly.
“I will definitely rescue Theorad from you!”
A watery voice echoes in the hallway.
But there was no answer coming back.
The elf, who had been quiet for a while, left the hallway with a complicated feeling.
