5.

But what do you know.

It seems like trouble comes when you least expect it.

The carriage that had been traveling smoothly got stuck in a puddle in the Strange Forest and couldn’t move forward.

The wheel was stuck so badly that nothing could be done, so the coachman had to go to the village to get a new carriage.

If I had known this would happen, I would have brought Beki despite the hassle.

Just like the original Elinea, I hadn’t developed the habit of bringing a servant along, so I didn’t bring Beki today.

“Coachman, you’ll have to go get a new carriage.”

The coachman nodded at my words and said.

“I’ll ride the horse and come back.”

Since there was no saddle on the horse anyway, he couldn’t take me to the Marquis’ Mansion on it, so he meant he would ride this horse to quickly bring back a new carriage.

I nodded and said I would wait.

After the coachman disappeared on horseback, I stared at the wheel stuck in the puddle.

“How could this be made so perfectly?”

It really looked like someone had deliberately dug a puddle after knowing exactly which path our carriage would take.

Of course, I thought it was a useless imagination.

The only person who hated me enough to kill me was Perioze’s Sister from the original story.

But the current Perioze’s Sister was friendly toward me.

If time continued like this, it would be quite natural for me to become her right hand.

So as long as I didn’t betray her in the future, there would be no reason for her to kill me.

While thinking such thoughts and kicking the uselessly expensive-looking wheel with my foot, suddenly an unpleasant rustling sound came from somewhere.

When I instinctively turned my head, a spider the size of the carriage I had been riding was glaring at me.

“What the hell is that…?”

One of my eyebrows twitched up in annoyance as I looked at the spider.

‘Ah, this is definitely a monster.’

I was certain.

This was a monster.

When I first saw the black flower, I was uncertain and added the premise of “maybe,” but the giant spider before my eyes was very similar to the monsters from the world I originally lived in.

In the world I originally lived in, monsters were more common than now.

Beings that hid in forests or ruins to take human lives.

As a black mage, I was very accustomed to dealing with them.

‘But this one looks more hideous and disgusting than the monsters from where I originally lived.’

I clicked my tongue and quickly drew up the dark magic power I had sunk deep within my body.

Instantly, the spider monster threw several webs at me.

“…!”

Without time to dodge, my entire body was wrapped up in the webs.

Even when I was a black mage, I had strong magic but weak stamina, so I heard my acquaintances tell me to train my physical strength until my ears were sore, and this body wasn’t much different.

If I had known this would happen, I would have made up my mind right after possessing this body to start with physical training.

Still, I was fortunate that I could bring my black magic intact into this possessed body.

I used the dark magic power I had drawn up in advance to cover the webs binding my body with black smoke.

The black smoke wrapped around the entire white web and burned down it, instantly turning the web into powder.

“Keeeeeeek!”

When the webs disappeared due to my black magic, the spider monster made a bizarre sound and spat webs at me again.

“Tch.”

I once again emitted black smoke from my body to burn the webs, then bit my thumb with my teeth to draw blood and drew a black magic formula in the air.

The formula drawn with blood instantly shone brightly and became the form of a black shadow that flew toward the spider monster.

The black shadow instantly wrapped around the spider monster, forming a round sphere.

I stretched my hand toward the spider and clenched my fist tightly.

The black shadow instantly compressed the spider monster, and the spider monster burst inside the black shadow with a pop sound.

“This technique is quite hideous so I don’t like using it. But the formula is the easiest, so it’s good for emergencies.”

I muttered to myself while looking at the spider corpse that had already burst and was scattered miserably on the ground.

But then.

“Keeeeek.”

“Keeeeeek.”

“Keeeeeeek.”

Chillingly bizarre noises began to be heard from multiple places.

When I turned my head, I could see roughly more than ten spider monsters moving their hideous front legs here and there as they approached me.

“Damn it.”

I unconsciously let out a sigh and quickly bit my thumb harder to produce more blood.

But were spiders insects that lived in groups by any chance?

Why on earth are so many crawling out?

Anyway, thinking that it could be dangerous if I responded carelessly like this, I drew blood to create a formula.

But then.

Swoosh! Slash slash slash!

Suddenly, dozens of black, sharp boomerang-shaped objects flew from somewhere and instantly cut the necks and waists of the spider monsters.

More than ten spider monsters collapsed to the ground with thuds as soon as the black boomerangs passed by them.

I turned my head to find the caster of the black boomerangs.

A carriage positioned a little distance from me and a black-haired man with red eyes standing in front of that carriage.

The Empire’s only darkness attribute ability user.

It was Theor Eterzan.

The lover sub-male lead from the original 【Caroline’s Lover】 who gives everything generously to Caroline.

Why on earth is he here?

Since he had helped me out of trouble for now, I set aside my confused thoughts and quickly bowed my head in greeting.

“Thank you, Your Grace.”

“Why are you alone in this dangerous place without any escort?”

“Ah, the carriage wheel got stuck in a puddle, so the coachman went to get a new carriage.”

“You mean you waited alone at a spot where monsters appear?”

“Ah, I didn’t know.”

I really didn’t know.

The coachman didn’t know either, so he would have left me alone and gone.

“I was patrolling after receiving word that monsters had appeared in this area. Since I received a report that there were many of them, there should still be several more remaining.”

“Ah…”

“If you stay here, you’ll be helplessly attacked by monsters drawn by the smell of blood from these creatures, so let’s move.”

“Ah…”

“Where were you headed? I’ll escort you there.”

At Theor’s words, I opened my mouth to say I was on my way to Caroline’s house, but then stopped and closed my mouth tightly.

Somehow I didn’t want to arrange a meeting with Caroline that wasn’t even in the original story.

Anyway, Caroline would weigh her options between Lloyd, Theor, and the high priest Graeme, and eventually become Lloyd’s lover.

Even if I had possessed this place and slightly twisted the original story, the ending where people in love end up together wouldn’t change.

So go find another woman early on.

That beautiful face would be such a waste.

I stared intently at Theor’s appearance, which really seemed like God had deliberately crafted it, thinking to myself, then seeing him with a face that seemed to be waiting for an answer, I shook my head and said.

“No, the coachman will come soon.”

“As I mentioned earlier, there are monster appearances in the vicinity. Those monsters move in groups. So there’s a high possibility that the Forest Entrance area isn’t safe either.”

“Were spiders insects that hunt in groups?!”

“All monsters hunt in groups. Haven’t you learned monster studies… Ah.”

Theor stopped mid-sentence and closed his mouth with an “Ah.”

I knew what he was about to say.

Commoners don’t have attribute abilities, so unlike nobles, they don’t learn monster studies separately.

There was no need to learn it, because commoners don’t have attribute abilities, so when they encounter monsters, they die without being able to do anything.

Since I am currently a daughter of a Marquis Family but was originally a commoner, I don’t have the attribute abilities that nobles should naturally possess, and Theor, who realized this belatedly, closed his mouth about his careless remark.

Instead of telling him it was okay, I used my dark magic to heal my thumb.

It was something I did unconsciously out of competitiveness, thinking ‘I have power too, you know?’ but this made things much worse.

“This is…!”

Because Theor’s face turned deathly pale when he saw the black smoke caterpillars healing my hand.

In that instant, realizing I had messed up, I made the caterpillar healing power disappear immediately, but Theor had already seen my healing ability.

“Just now, that thing.”

Theor approached me with large strides as he asked.

I instinctively stepped backward and said to him.

“S-stop. Why are you acting like this? So scary?”

“That ability just now.”

“Ability? What ability?”

“The ability that just healed where the young lady was bleeding.”

“I was bleeding? Where?”

Having sensed that I was screwed, I decided to stick with playing dumb.

Since Theor was the only one in the Empire who could use dark attributes, anyone would be suspicious of my ability that clearly resembled dark attributes.

“Young lady.”

“Ah, my head!”

Since he didn’t seem like he would drop his suspicions about dark magic easily, I pretended to collapse, and Theor immediately rushed over to support me.

A handsome guy who’s even gentlemanly.

I briefly leaned my face against his chest, pretending to be dizzy while pondering how to get through this situation.
