Chapter 27

“No. It’s nothing.”

“Then stop staring. You’re going to bore a hole through my face.”

Feeling somewhat embarrassed, I turned my head away, insisting it was nothing.

An awkward silence settled over us.

“I told you to go inside.”

Louis Sauver appeared, now changed into a neat dress.

I had never been so happy to see him.

Louis Sauver opened the door for me to enter first, and I tried to go into his room.

Kaisis seemed to be waiting in front of the room like a proper escort knight.

It looked like he had received his escort knight training well.

Just as I was about to take a step forward.

“Wait.”

Suddenly Kaisis blocked my path.

“What’s wrong, Kaisis?”

“I sense a strange energy from in there.”

“What?”

A strange energy from Louis Sauver’s room?

When I looked back, Louis Sauver was also shaking his head with a puzzled expression.

It didn’t seem like Louis Sauver was hiding anything.

“I need to check it out.”

When Kaisis looked at Louis Sauver as if asking for permission, Louis Sauver nodded with a bewildered expression.

It meant we could go in.

Following Kaisis inside, Louis Sauver and I stood side by side, tensely watching what Kaisis was doing.

Kaisis seriously searched various parts of the room.

Then, Louis Sauver tapped me and spoke in a small voice that only I could hear.

“But why does he keep speaking informally to you and me? He’s supposed to be an escort knight.”

The day had come when Louis Sauver, who ignored romance novel etiquette more than anyone, would say this to me.

I looked at Louis Sauver with deep emotion.

“Kai comes from a very distant northern country. So he doesn’t know etiquette well.”

Louis Sauver nodded as if he understood my words.

It was then that Kaisis, who had been looking around the room, suddenly approached the bed.

Louis Sauver and I also followed Kaisis toward the bed.

Kaisis examined the bed carefully, then lifted it up with one hand.

Wow, is it because he’s a dragon?

His strength was no joke.

While I was looking at Kaisis in surprise, he checked the bottom of the bed and frowned slightly.

“So this was the cause.”

Looking down at the bottom of the bed as well, I couldn’t help but be shocked.

“What is that?”

What was drawn under Louis Sauver’s bed was none other than…

“A magic circle.”

Kaisis muttered in a serious voice.

The black magic circle looked ominous at first glance.

“Huh? What is that? Why is something like that in my room?”

Why on earth, and since when had it been there?

While I was puzzled, Kaisis turned to look at me.

“Check it.”

“Check what?”

“That magic circle.”

I just have some magical power, but I’m not a mage.

However, among us, I was the only one who could handle magic to some extent, so I hesitantly reached my hand toward the magic circle.

I didn’t know what or how I was supposed to check…

I reached my hand toward the magic circle without thinking, and the moment my hand touched it.

Crackle, black flames shot up.

As I tried to pull my hand away in panic, suddenly tremendous pain surged from my heart.

As if someone had grabbed it with tremendous force.

It was hard to breathe.

“Ugh…!”

As I clutched my chest and gasped for breath, the startled Louis Sauver rushed over.

“What’s wrong! Are you okay?!”

“Get your hand off the magic circle right now.”

Kaisis, who had thrown down the bed, quickly approached and grabbed my wrist.

But my hand wouldn’t budge, as if it was stuck to the magic circle.

Unable to even open my mouth due to the pain that consumed my entire body, I watched the magic circle burn black.

That’s when it happened.

I felt something warm flowing inside my body, and then it was expelled outside.

A bright golden light appeared at my fingertips.

That light swelled as if confronting the black magic circle, then filled the entire room.

It was when I squeezed my eyes shut from the brightness and opened them again.

Whoosh—.

The magic circle that had been under Louis Sauver’s bed began to crumble into powder.

I watched that scene in a daze, then staggered and collapsed.

Kaisis, who was sitting nearby, quickly caught me.

“Hey, are you okay?”

Louis Sauver also grabbed my shoulder in surprise.

“What on earth was this…”

What exactly was that magic circle, and the light that came from my hand…

My mind was in chaos.

“What on earth was that?”

“Seeing how it reacted to your power, it seems to have been dark magic.”

Dark magic?

But in the original story, there was no mention of Beatrice being connected to dark magic.

“So I’ve been living with some dark magic circle or whatever?”

Louis Sauver, who was holding my shoulder beside me, spoke in a panicked voice.

“Beatrice, has anything happened at the marquis’ mansion recently?”

“Recently?”

“Yes, suspicious things or strange incidents.”

“Come to think of it, I did hear that a necklace received as a gift had disappeared… But there was nothing else besides that.”

I nodded after hearing Louis Sauver’s words.

But since a dark magic circle had been discovered in Louis Sauver’s room, I couldn’t just sit back and rely only on his words.

“Still, let’s search the room more. Something else might turn up.”

I carefully got up.

Seeing that I could move well on my own, Kaisis began searching Louis Sauver’s room again.

Louis Sauver and I also followed Kaisis and looked around, when suddenly I felt pain in my palm.

“Ugh…”

“What’s wrong! Are you hurt? Let me see.”

Louis Sauver, who had rushed over, tried to remove my gloves.

If he saw the mark I had made with Kaisis…!

Of course, Louis Sauver wouldn’t know what the mark was, but it was safest not to be discovered by anyone.

I quickly pulled my hand away as if shaking it off.

“I’m fine, so don’t touch it.”

I flinched, wondering if I had spoken too harshly, but Louis looked at me with narrowed eyes.

“Are you really okay?”

I quickly hid my hand behind my back and nodded.

However, Louis still didn’t withdraw his suspicious gaze.

Then he whispered in a small voice.

“Hey, is this world really safe?”

Now even I couldn’t guarantee it.

Black magic was an unexpected development.

* * *

Having returned to the Count’s mansion without any particular gains, I threw myself onto the bed. My head hurt.

Perhaps from thinking too much, my head was throbbing and a headache was coming on.

I called for a maid and asked her to get painkillers from the family doctor, then lay on the bed and quietly looked up at the ceiling.

I opened the system window, but the world destruction gauge remained the same.

That meant black magic existed in the original world setting too, it just wasn’t described.

And the fact that the black magic circle was in Beatrice’s room.

That raised questions.

Who exactly is the black mage, and what are they trying to do?

The fact that there was a black magic circle in Beatrice’s room—does that mean the ‘real’ Beatrice before Louis possessed her was also connected to black magic?

While I was holding my head and groaning, someone knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

Thinking the maid had already brought the medicine, I told them to enter, but an unexpected person came in.

“Where does it hurt, human.”

It was Kaisis.

“How did you know?”

“You seem to have forgotten, but we’re connected. I can feel everything you feel.”

Having said that, Kaisis strode into the room and plopped down beside my pillow.

Then he placed his hand on my head.

As soon as Kaisis’s warm hand touched me, the headache miraculously subsided.

“What are you thinking so hard about with this little head of yours.”

Kaisis looked down at me intently.

Kaisis was particularly handsome among humans—though he was an evil dragon.

Every time his long black eyelashes fell, Kaisis’s blood-red eyes would disappear and reappear repeatedly.

I stared up at Kaisis in a daze.

He really was damn handsome.

It would have been so nice if only he wasn’t an evil dragon trying to kill me.

Then, Kaisis, who had been looking at me silently for a while, opened his mouth.

“No matter how I look at you, you resemble her.”

“Me? Who do I resemble?”

“There is someone. Someone I can’t forget.”
