6.

“Are you alright, my lady?”

Theor asked with a worried expression.

I answered while pretending to be as dizzy as possible.

“Everything is spinning before my eyes.”

“Let’s go to my carriage for now.”

“Eek?!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Theor lifted me up in a princess carry, causing me to unconsciously let out a bizarre scream.

“Ah, I’m dizzy…”

When Theor apologized, I was about to say it was fine, but this atmosphere was too embarrassing, so I just leaned my face against his chest and pretended to be dizzy.

But still, I used dark magic similar to his abilities right in front of a darkness attribute user, so how am I going to explain this…

Moreover, since I used healing power, he would definitely try to investigate the power I used in some way.

Since it’s come to this, should I tell him honestly?

After all, I was planning to showcase the darkness attribute I bought with money at the upcoming debut tent.

Originally, for that plan, I needed to decide who, when, and how to steal Theor’s darkness attribute, which was the biggest obstacle, and put it into an object that could contain attributes.

Of course, since all these plans were lies, that non-existent object would be prohibited from being made after the debut tent, going through a destruction process due to anxiety that it could be used for dangerous purposes.

In the end, what’s important is just that my debut tent doesn’t become a laughingstock like in the original story.

Therefore, this opportunity could be considered quite a good one.

Anyway, I plan to use this power to pave a flowery path for Perioze’s Sister in the future, so I don’t intend to keep hiding it forever.

So if I first explain the situation to Theor and get him slightly involved in my scam, then tell him my secret in return…

Having thought that far, I opened my eyes wide, then got startled by the black hair filling my vision and screamed “Hueok!”

“Ah. Are you alright, my lady?”

Wh-what a surprise…!

I don’t know when Theor brought me into the carriage and leaned me against the soft cushions, but I didn’t know he was looking at some part of me this closely, so my heart dropped to the floor.

But what was he looking at?

Seemingly flustered by my suspicious gaze, Theor said to me.

“I was looking at your hand.”

“My hand?”

“Yes, the hand that healed with darkness attribute.”

“Ah…”

Theor seemed very curious about the part where I treated the wound I made with dark magic.

Curious enough to approach a person pretending to sleep and examine their fingers closely.

I swallowed a curse inwardly.

Damn, did I get caught?

“That… um, this is…”

Not knowing how to explain, I floundered around, then quickly looked at him and spoke based on an idea that flashed through my mind.

“It’s an experimental device!”

At my exclamation, one of Theor’s eyebrows twitched up.

“It’s an artifact currently being developed by the, uh, academy. Made to implement something that looks like darkness attribute… Ah, anyway, it’s classified but my dad has a lot of money so… I mean, this is classified information that can’t be spread around, but anyway, it’s not illegal, you know?”

I ended up saying something completely incoherent while floundering.

As soon as I finished speaking, Theor’s expression changed from bewildered to utterly incredulous, making me think I was doomed.

‘Ah, please just let this slide…’

While internally stomping my feet, I outwardly forced the biggest smile possible and said to Theor.

“It’s classified, classified.”

“Classified.”

Nod nod.

At Theor’s muttering-like words, I nodded my head vigorously to mean it was true.

Watching me like that, Theor stretched his lips into a long smile and narrowed his eyes.

“Interesting.”

“Ah… ahaha. Right? It’s interesting, interesting. Ah, anyway, since strange rumors can’t spread, please keep it secret as much as possible.”

When I spoke as pleadingly as possible, Theor’s red eyes began to glisten like a snake’s.

“Intriguing.”

It wasn’t an answer saying he understood, but a mysteriously chilling, incomprehensible response, making me think I was indeed doomed.

I screamed inwardly.

‘Intriguing my ass. Please drop that interest and say you’ll keep the secret!’

“Ah, anyway, so when this is implemented more properly, I’ll use it at the debut tent.”

At my words, Theor made a puzzled expression.

“Is there really a need to go that far?”

“Of course there is! I have a lot of money but no attribute abilities, right?”

At those words, Theor looked at me silently.

“Anyway, if I don’t use something like this, I’ll become a laughingstock at the debut tent. Since I’m a commoner who can’t use attribute abilities…”

“So you want to show that you can use them in that way.”

“Exactly. So from this body’s position, that’s the only way to absolutely not become a laughingstock at the debut tent.”

See this? I even buy attribute abilities with money?

When I said it with that feeling, Theor let out a small hollow laugh.

It was really a laugh of disbelief, which made me feel a bit offended, but I didn’t show it particularly.

“Anyway, the ability I can use coincidentally resembles the Empire’s only darkness attribute, right? Think about it, if a nobody commoner like me suddenly used such an ability, wouldn’t the Empire be turned upside down?”

“They would say the oracle was wrong.”

“Exactly!”

When I clapped my hands, Theor’s eyes widened slightly in surprise.

“So I can’t reveal this power to the world right away, that’s what I’m saying.”

Originally, I planned to use this power later when our Perioze’s Sister was in danger, then pass it off as a divine revelation by saying it must be God’s revelation.

“But as you said, my lady, that ‘classified experimental device’ is dangerous, whether fake or real.”

Theor said.

From ‘whether fake or real,’ I realized he didn’t believe my words, but anyway, there was nothing else I could do right now, so I pretended not to know.

“Even if it’s dangerous, it’s classified so no one knows about it, right?”

“That’s exactly the problem. If you spread around that you made an experimental device that was never made, how do you plan to handle the aftermath?”

Now he’s speaking as if he openly knows about my lie.

So I also proposed a solution based on the premise that it was a lie.

“Couldn’t we just finish by immediately discarding it as dangerous?”

“Easier said than done. If you claim to have created such an object, people will try anything to get their hands on it.”

At Theor’s words, I shrugged my shoulders once.

“But it’s an object that doesn’t exist in the world anyway, right?”

“That’s not what’s important. Once such an object is input into people’s minds, there will be those who try to find it somehow. Of course, there might be humans who actually create it.”

“Whoa.”

“Anyway, think of another way.”

“Hmm…”

At Theor’s suggestion, my brow furrowed slightly, wondering if I could really think of another method.

He thought about something for a moment, then shook his head once and said.

“If you use that ability at the debut tent, the Imperial Shrine will definitely be stirred up.”

“So I should say it’s not my real power but power received from the Grand Duke.”

I asked him to think together about how I could somehow briefly borrow Theor’s darkness attribute and make it seem like I could use it.

But his reaction was that he didn’t understand why I needed to go that far.

This won’t work. Let me tell him the original story content directly.

About how pathetic and infuriating Elinea’s debut tent was in the original story.

Of course, by mentioning prophetic dreams I’ve never had even once.

“Actually, I also have prophetic dreams.”

“Prophetic dreams…?”

“Yes, they come true so well that it’s creepy, really amazing prophetic dreams. Anyway, the events that happened at my debut tent appeared in the prophetic dream, so no matter what, I refuse to have a debut tent where I become a laughingstock like in the prophetic dream. So…”

“The lie about putting attributes in a necklace won’t work. Just the fact that such an object exists would make the Empire chaotic due to those trying to obtain it.”

However, Theor shook his head firmly.

Don’t tell me even prophetic dreams won’t work?

“Why? Commoners might be one thing, but all nobles have attribute abilities.”

“An attribute ability they don’t possess. It’s because nobles are the ones who desire what they lack.”

“…Ah!”

I hadn’t thought that far.

Each person has their own attribute ability, and they’re divided into offense and defense based on those abilities.

Defense ability users who want to focus on offense would obviously want attack abilities, and attack ability users who prefer defensive combat would want defense abilities.

And there would be even more people who want both abilities simultaneously.

“It would certainly be chaotic….”

My brow furrowed automatically at this point I hadn’t considered at all.

“Anyway, let’s think of another approach.”

“Hmm….”

Even if he tells me to think of another approach, what other methods could there possibly be?

No matter how much I think about it, no particularly good ideas come to mind.

Then, after a moment of silence, Theor slowly shook his head and spoke.

“As expected, if you use that ability at the Debut Tent, the Empire will be in an uproar.”

“So I could say it’s not my power but an experimental device infused with dark attributes.”

At that, Theor looked at me with a pathetic expression.

His emotions were clearly revealed through his expression.

He was definitely wondering whether this woman was stupid or bold.

That thought was accurate.

Theor had precisely read Elinea’s emotions as she tried to hide her confusion and put on a bold expression like she was bluffing.

He quickly noticed the mixture of anxiety and audacity in her eyes.

That unstable balance somehow grated on Theor’s nerves.

He wondered if it was just irritating enough that he couldn’t look away.

“Anyway, even thinking about it again, that method won’t work.”

Theor continued without showing his feelings.

“So just come with me instead.”

“Yes.”

I reflexively blurted out an answer, then my eyes widened belatedly at his suggestion to go together.

“What?”
