The Predator’s Contract Partner 179

Episode 180

– look at this. Everyone. My holy power is real. No other archmage in the world could show his memories in this way. The other saints before me must have been the same…….

And Undine's face disappeared. And beyond the silk cloth, the faces of strangers shimmered.

People opened their eyes wide. There were so many people filling the hall, but none of them said anything.

From those of the world's noblest bloodlines to street vendors who were lucky enough to be here. Everyone was listening to the story of the dead saintess. Even the householder stared at the silk cloth with his eyes wide open.

That malicious, grand, and tense silence left a deep impression on Elisha as well. I even thought that she might be a saint because she could cause such a miracle.

Before long, what caught people's eyes was a handsome and handsome man.

She had cool features. But his face was full of subtle gloom. That is why he was a man with a strange sense of decadence. He was a very distinct figure. It wasn't hard for Elisha to recognize that her man was Stevan.

Behind the man was a woman who was smaller in sight. She was a brown-haired woman who looked arrogant.

This was Undine's vision. She is spying on the two somewhere.

The man said Elisha already knew the name Rojihin. He is said to have died giving birth to Jacob. She was Jacob's mother.

Rosie Heen said it so nonchalantly that some people may have wondered if this was a script for a skit.

Is Undine's memory distorted, or is it as clear as that? Rosie Heen had been very haughty in her life, and she didn't seem to resent Stevan in the slightest.

Rozhin looked up at Stevan as if thinking about something.

The arrogance disappeared from Stevan's face. His eyes twitched.

Rosie Heen nodded.

Said Stevan.

Rosie Heen said nonchalantly and looked in the mirror and straightened her hair.

Muttered Stevan. He felt Undine turn his head. Her vision moved away very cautiously. The feeling that she was running away with the sound of her footsteps came to me vividly.

Rosie Heen said nonchalantly. Effie was the name of the snub nose.

Stevan replied calmly.

He was a humorous line that was not lacking to put a comma in the play.

*​ *​ *​

Then Undine's face appeared again.

-But, unfortunately, Rojihin died giving birth to a child. She even named the child 'Jacob'. Besides, the baby was stillborn. But Stevan had the next move. Almost a day apart, his prized toy, Snub Nose, gave birth to a child.

Even if the child is stillborn, or even if it becomes a corpse while giving birth. The body of a woman who gave birth to a child in the Cartier family is left with a pattern as evidence.

The background switched again, and Undine's face shimmered. Soon, her face disappeared. The next memory started.

*​ *​ *​

The next thing that appeared on the cloth was the face of the family head, who looked much younger than now. He was walking around his room with his hands behind his back. His face was full of sorrow and depression. Said Stevan.

Stevan didn't look very sad. Like a person with no emotions in the first place, the expression in Undine's memory was always the same. He looked gloomy, but on the other hand, he seemed relaxed.

The family head called Undine.

Undine seemed to answer something, but I didn't hear it. It seemed that Undine deliberately did not include my actions or voice in order to objectively show people this scene.

I could feel the housekeeper muttering.

Stevan flinched for a moment, but then he grinned. And he seems to resemble Rosie Heen's father, he said nonchalantly. It was an attitude that did not reveal that it was a lie in the slightest.

His newborn child, Jacob, was lying in the cradle. And the tip of the child's nose was lifted for anyone to see. I'm sure that kid will grow up to be a snub-nose. It was a face anyone could have guessed.

*​ *​ *​

“I-that…….”

The housekeeper's whole body trembled. He couldn't stand it and sat down in his chair. The householder's family members looked after him.

“Me……. Let it be……. I will watch.”

Even the head of the family couldn't stop anymore.

*​ *​ *​

Jacob is the son of the lowly. People slowly realized the truth revealed by the sight beyond the thousand.

“Jacob, the eldest son of the Cartier family?”

An uproar began to spread.

“So who is the son of the poor after all?”

“Be quiet! Doesn't the saintess keep talking!”

People's voices were even going mad.

'Jacob always has a knack for falling into important positions.'

Elisha thought indifferently.

Elisha saw Lucerne. His face grew colder and colder. Soon, he didn't even flinch.

That's right, if it's you, this hint is enough to notice. Elisha decided not to interrupt him at this moment when he was learning the whole truth.

*​ *​ *​

-You must have been very surprised.

Undine's pink lips like summer roses moved.

– Exactly. I manifested as a saint at the age of 12. Is it too late for a saint? I was the daughter of a nanny who worked at the Cartier family's villa at the time. My mother was a fallen aristocrat, and in exchange for her husband's debt to the Cartiers, she worked as a governess and nanny there.

I've heard that it's the best case for a debtor to the Cartier family. Because my mother was a knowledgeable woman, she could make a good tutor.

From then on, I and Michelan, the youngest son of the head of household, had a close relationship. Yes. That person is the most important, my precious person…….

A giggly smile began to blend into Undine's voice as she spoke. It was close to a mad laugh.

-Michelan, do you know the unfortunate son of the patriarch?

Undine whispered.

-People believe that he ran away with an idiot, an ugly woman. But no.

Undine raised his hand and pointed in front of him. Coincidentally, that was over the head of the family head.

-I was the one who ran away with Michelan. We loved each other, and even though it was informal, we had our own wedding ceremony. In the meantime, the people of the temple invaded, and at the end of the fight, my loved one died.

Undine said quietly.

-You might be wondering why I went through that and returned to the temple and quietly acted as a saint? There are two reasons for that. First of all, I was mainly addicted to drugs. Until a few years before I died, Merha used drugs to manage me because I didn't listen well. But the second reason is bigger, and the second is…….

Undine stopped her. She smiled brightly again.

– Because of the hostages.

*​ *​ *​

-I don't know which story will be the taste of precious people. Perhaps my corpse will be auctioned off, so only the very best will come to the coffin opening ceremony. Yes, let's talk about the poor woman. She's that naughty, idiot, Stevan's doll.

Saying so, Undine gestured.

*​ *​ *​

The two men looked nervous. Eye level was high. Elisha thought Undine was sitting there. The silk was wet as if it were raining. My eyesight continued to falter. Undine was weeping.

Stevan said as if he had realized.

Merha said. He also looked younger than now.

Said Stevan.

Said Stevan.

Merha clicked her tongue.

Said Stevan.

*​ *​ *​

The lord's face went white.

“This person. Stevan!”

The housekeeper shouted. Now the noise of the people was so loud that the shouts of the head of the house were quickly swallowed up. The murmur that followed the silence was like a wave of chaos.
