#.115

“Rebecca?”

All I remember is just a short period that I thought was behind-the-scenes content from the original story.

Even that is hazy like something seen in a dream, yet the moment I saw Rebecca Marchione, the address “Rebecca” came out naturally, which was really strange.

As if habits from my past life still remained in this life.

“Do, do you know me?”

“Huh?”

Does she not remember like Leopold? As I stared intently at Rebecca, the head maid stepped forward.

“Lady Lilliana. Rebecca doesn’t remember anything except her own name. Please understand even if she seems a bit strange.”

“She has no memory? Why?”

“Lord Edgar. I don’t know the details either. I just gave her work because Her Majesty the Empress told me to use Rebecca as a cleaning maid. Oh, Lady Lilliana. Do you know her?”

“Oh, no. I just…”

I thought Rebecca Marchione was dead, so how is she here?

Should I tell Liliana that Rebecca is alive?

‘Nothing would change even if I told her.’

Liliana doesn’t fully understand the anger I hold.

The only people with memories of the previous life are me, Marius, and Francois.

‘Just because you remember nothing doesn’t mean I forgive you.’

Seeing Rebecca brought a surge of resentment.

It seems like in my previous life, I relied on Rebecca like an older sister.

In the dream—no, what I only thought was a dream—when I recalled her from the past, I felt extreme betrayal.

Rebecca Marchione’s father killed my parents, and she harmed my country and sister. And she made me work as a maid.

Whether she felt sorry for me or guilty, I don’t want to know such inner feelings.

What I want is revenge.

I want to pay back Rebecca, who started a war using Marius, Leopold, and Francois, if not equally then at least as much as I suffered.

“I want to use this person as my maid.”

“What? But that requires Her Majesty the Empress’s permission.”

“I’ll talk to Edith myself. Give me Rebecca.”

Since my sisters aren’t honest with me, I won’t be honest with them either.

Edgar told me to eat first and stabbed smoked salmon with a fork, bringing it to my mouth.

While obediently eating the food, I confirmed Rebecca’s bewildered state.

Somehow I felt like I was becoming corrupted.

* * *

“Ugh.”

When I opened my eyes, my head felt like it would split from the hangover.

Edith regretted drinking so much the night before and curled up her body.

Her throat was parched, but she wanted to lie down just a little longer.

“Edith. Drink some water first.”

Marius, noticing she was awake, held out a glass of water.

Then the events of the previous night flashed through her mind like lightning.

When they returned to the room, Marius was also drunk, and she had rushed at him in some fit of madness. And then.

“Sigh.”

Edith forced herself to sit up and gulped down the water Marius handed her.

Edith seriously contemplated between the urge to lie down and the feeling that she needed to vomit immediately.

Marius was getting dressed at a slight distance.

“How do you feel?”

“I don’t know. I feel nauseous.”

“You should go throw up too. It helps.”

“What happened?”

She wasn’t someone who enjoyed drinking, yet she had drunk herself senseless on an empty stomach.

Moreover, the expression with which he was looking at her now was strange.

How should I put it. Like he was forcibly pulling up a sunken mood.

No. It seemed like he was paralyzed with fear.

“You’ll find out soon enough.”

“What do you… ugh!”

After vomiting up everything that came up and coming out, Marius had already left for a meeting.

Edith picked up the clothes scattered on the floor and just collapsed onto the bed.

Something had definitely happened to Marius, but she didn’t have the energy to worry about it separately.

Even while feeling like she might die from the hangover, all sorts of problems were floating around in her head.

‘I should have paid more attention to my brother.’

What about Lilliana now?

While feeling upset and wanting to cry, there was an interrogation of the black mages scheduled in an hour.

Edith squeezed her eyes shut and took a deep breath.

‘I need to pull myself together especially at times like this.’

Razas is targeting Lilliana. Eliminating the sect is important, but protecting Lilliana is more important.

Edith went to the bathroom and vomited up everything inside to calm her stomach.

“Alright. Let’s hear the whole story from Emilia after the interrogation.”

Then I need to explain the entire situation to Lilliana and comfort her.

It seems like keeping her away from problematic situations just because she’s young ends here.

Having organized her thoughts, Edith quickly finished preparing and headed to the interrogation room.

* * *

“Your Majesty the Empress. These bastards are really stubborn. They won’t open their mouths easily, so it seems we need to employ more logical methods!”

Derek, who had been steeped in the inspectors’ methods in just a few days, gave his report before even greeting.

“Derek. What about the support team situation?”

“We found and collected all the black holy water materials that had been placed in advance at the locations scheduled for terrorism. And through information that some of them spilled, we rescued the kidnapped children and handed them over to the temple.”

“Good. That’s reassuring.”

Derek’s mustache twitched at Edith’s praise.

Edith scanned the reports that had come in overnight with indifferent eyes.

“Dalia. According to what Razas said, the black mages with terrorism experience seem to have already had their minds invaded. What do you think?”

“Well. I didn’t notice anything particularly strange.”

“I’ll take a look myself.”

She kicked back her chair and stood up, going alone to the detention cell where the black mages with many terrorism charges were gathered.

They were tied tightly to chairs while wearing restraints.

Edith picked one and removed the gag from his mouth.

“With 6 terrorism incidents, you must have killed quite a few people. How much control do you have over your body?”

“If you’re trying to win me over, it’s useless. I’m already a body dedicated to Lord Razas.”

“I’m not interested in your vermin-like body. Oh, don’t you know yet? You’re a body abandoned by Razas.”

“Nonsense.”

“You became a black mage through ritual sacrifice, but there are limits to using power. When you use power to kill people, your body and soul are supposed to fall to Razas. But I know a mage who uses unlimited power without ritual sacrifice.”

“Don’t lie! I won’t fall for your wicked schemes!”

Edith snorted.

Francois, who had earned the wrath of all family members when the marriage contract was exposed, had separately called her and Regina to reveal all secrets.

That he wasn’t using black magic but was invaded by Razas.

“That guy only loses his body but doesn’t lose his soul. When Razas is resurrected, life and death will be reversed and the dead will come back to life? Do you think you, who fell into Razas’s grasp, will be in that future? Don’t you understand that he gave you unequal power because you’re a disposable piece?”

The black mage’s eyes wavered at the quiet whisper.

He opened and closed his mouth, then gritted his teeth to keep from exploding in rage.

The other black mages in nearby chairs screamed loudly with gags stuffed in their mouths.

Alicia realized the advantage had tilted in her favor. However.

“Alicia Berchio. You’re provoking my stupid yet loyal followers.”

At that moment, Razas took control of the black mage’s body.

“Since they were captured anyway, weren’t they disposable cards?”

“That’s true, but there’s fun in watching unwavering faith.”

“Go eat shit.”

“You’ve become much more prickly compared to last time. I can’t miss this opportunity when your heart has grown weak.”

Alicia drew her sword to deal with the flesh that Razas had possessed.

Then Razas giggled and said.

“Do you know this? Before your brother turned back time, you went to war and died. Your precious youngest sibling was taken hostage and suffered all kinds of hardships.”

“Yes. How unfortunate.”

“You don’t believe me. I swear on my authority that it’s all true. Your twin siblings risked their lives to smuggle out Lilliana Berchio. But in the end, they turned to ash and died.”

Oaths made by non-human beings like the demon Razas have binding power.

So everything he says is true.

“And there’s someone else besides Andrea who remembers all this tragedy.”

“I’m not curious about that crap, so shut up.”

“You’re lying. Go ask your husband. Since he’s the one who started the war, he’ll properly answer your curiosity.”

Alicia’s complexion turned pale. As Razas cackled, she swung her sword and killed the shell.

But Razas appeared in the bodies of other bound black mages and continued laughing.

Unable to bear the endless mockery, Alicia slammed the door shut and rushed out of the interrogation room.

“Ah. Senior. You came to work early today— where are you going?”

“I’m going to see my sibling for a moment, so keep working.”

Please no. Please let it not be true.

Alicia spurred her horse, praying that Emilia would deny her suspicions.

But her hopes were shattered to pieces.

After hearing the truth from Emilia, Alicia’s jaw trembled.

She was so furious her mind went blank and no thoughts came to her.

Feeling emotions with nowhere to go exploding forth, at some point she rode her horse toward the Imperial Palace like a madwoman.
