Chapter 79

“What? Me and His Grace the Duke?”

As I blinked in confusion, the Count brought up the banquet story.

“At the banquet hall, Duke Wischurs certainly called you his lover, didn’t he?”

Right. That did happen, indeed.

“Dating, the Duke?”

Then, Kaisis muttered as if talking to himself with a hardened expression.

No, it’s a misunderstanding.

I hurriedly shook my head, but Kaisis’s expression didn’t improve.

I quickly finished my conversation with the Count and brought Kaisis up to my room.

Kaisis still had a sullen expression. He seemed displeased with the rumors between me and the Duke.

He seemed to be jealous, which was cute, but I needed to clear up the misunderstanding first.

“Kaisis, that’s…”

“Did you become involved with the Duke while I was away in the North?”

“No!”

“Right, come to think of it, the Duke’s expression when looking at Master was quite unusual. He even confessed at the ship party.”

“Kaisis, that’s not it…”

I hurriedly made excuses.

That we only pretended to date briefly to shake off the Crown Prince.

But Kaisis’s expression showed no signs of softening.

“Then bring me proof.”

“Proof?”

I pondered what could serve as evidence, then immediately sent a letter to the Duke.

Saying it would be better to stop the fake lover act now.

The next day, the Duke sent a letter saying he would stop the lover act but to ask him anytime if I ever needed him.

I took that letter and hurried to Kaisis’s room.

Then I confidently showed him the Duke’s letter.

“Look, I said I was a ‘fake’ lover and the Duke didn’t deny it. If we were really dating, he wouldn’t have ignored the word ‘fake,’ would he?”

Kaisis stared at the letter for a long time, then finally his hardened mouth corners relaxed as his anger seemed to fade.

“Is the misunderstanding cleared up?”

“Yes.”

“Then will you hug me now? You don’t know how hurt I was when you were sulking.”

At my words, Kaisis hesitated for a long time.

It seemed like his mind was conflicted between thinking we shouldn’t do this since we weren’t lovers yet and still wanting to hug me.

After pondering, Kaisis finally carefully embraced me.

Kaisis’s embrace was warm.

I thought I needed to defeat the Black Mage as soon as possible to date this Kaisis.

That afternoon, I invited Louis Sauver to my house.

It was to seriously find a way to defeat the Black Mage with Louis Sauver and Kaisis.

Louis Sauver came carrying a bunch of cookies I liked again.

Before Kaisis entered the room, I caught Louis Sauver first.

“Louis Sauver.”

“Yeah?”

I hesitated for a moment, then carefully opened my mouth.

“Today… I’m going to tell Kaisis about your identity.”

“What? You’re going to tell him that?”

“Yes.”

Louis Sauver’s eyes widened. I nodded and spoke.

“Kaisis said he could sense black magic energy from you. A black magic circle appeared in your room too. If I don’t tell Kaisis about your identity, he’ll continue to suspect you.”

“…That’s true.”

“Then it’ll be difficult for us to join forces to eliminate the Black Mage.”

A moment of silence passed.

Louis Sauver scratched his head and fell into thought, then sighed and said.

“Well, I was worried about how long I could hide it anyway. But will it be okay? What if that dragon tells someone else…”

“I want to trust him. The Kaisis I know isn’t that kind of person.”

“Alright. If that’s your judgment, then so be it. But what about that world destruction gauge thing? What if that goes up?”

“I can’t tell if it will go up or not. Whether the gauge will stay the same since Kaisis finding out doesn’t affect the romance storyline between you and Shamal, or whether just revealing your identity will influence the original story and raise the gauge. Honestly, I don’t know either.”

“Hmm.”

“But if human Masu Transformation spreads, it will influence the original story and raise the gauge anyway. So finding and eliminating the Black Mage seems important too.”

“That’s true. Alright, let’s try telling him. It would be good to have the dragon on our side in finding the Black Mage.”

So Louis Sauver, me, and Kaisis sat around in my room.

“I have something important to tell you.”

As I set the mood, Louis Sauver also listened with a serious expression.

“I don’t know how to bring this up, but… I think you need to know this fact for the three of us to join forces.”

When Kaisis looked at me, I became nervous and swallowed dryly.

“As you already know, Kaisis is a dragon.”

Then Louis Sauver nodded.

Kaisis seemed surprised that I had revealed the fact that he was a dragon, but seeing Louis Sauver’s calm reaction, he seemed relieved and looked away.

“And the important story I’m telling today is about Beatrice, no, Louis Sauver.”

“Louis Sauver?”

When Kaisis raised an eyebrow, I took a breath and continued the story.

“What’s in Beatrice’s body… isn’t the real Beatrice.”

Kaisis’s red eyes narrowed.

“Louis Sauver has possessed her.”

I carefully explained that Louis Sauver had possessed her and what had happened so far.

“And Louis Sauver needs to be paired with one of the male leads. What I mean by male lead is…”

I earnestly explained about the male protagonists.

Kaisis didn’t interrupt me and listened to the end.

When I finished speaking, there was a moment of silence.

Then Kaisis quietly spoke.

“But how did Master know that fact?”

“Uh…”

I was momentarily speechless.

Should I reveal that I’m also a possessor?

That thought crossed my mind briefly, but I soon shook my head.

Louis Sauver’s possession was information we absolutely needed to know to move together.

An explanation was necessary to prevent Kaisis from mistaking Louis Sauver for a Black Mage.

But my case was different.

The fact that I’m a possessor doesn’t help the current situation at all.

I couldn’t be sure how Kaisis would react if he heard that I wasn’t from this world.

What we needed now was trust to become allies, not more reasons for suspicion.

So I quickly thought of an excuse.

“After becoming a holy mage, I received a revelation. A revelation that Gye Deok-ho had possessed Beatrice and needed to be paired with the male leads. I still receive revelations occasionally. Haha.”

Kaisis looked at me for a moment, then nodded without saying much.

But now that I said it, something seemed strange.

Both Louis Sauver and I are possessors, so why can only Louis Sauver’s black magic energy be sensed?

Could there be hidden facts about the route through which we possessed these bodies?

I carefully checked the world destruction gauge with these questions in mind.

But then.

[85% until world destruction]

The gauge didn’t rise.

Was what I told Kaisis okay because it didn’t affect the original story?

Come to think of it, even when Kaisis broke his seal, when he came to the Count’s mansion saying he’d monitor me, and when he became my escort knight – despite all these actions being different from the original story, the world destruction gauge hadn’t risen.

Could it be that the world destruction gauge doesn’t apply to Kaisis?

While I was puzzled, Kaisis quietly parted his lips.

“Now it all makes sense.”

I raised my head.

“If that’s the case, it also explains why I sense dark magic energy from that woman. Dark magic must be involved in that woman’s possession.”

After hearing my words, Kaisis nodded thoughtfully, then reached inside his coat and pulled something out.

Looking closely, it was a necklace.

What necklace?

While I was tilting my head in confusion, Louis looked surprised.

“Isn’t that my necklace? The one that was stolen at the Spring Welcoming Party?”

Then, that suspicious necklace?

I turned to look at Kaisis in surprise as he handed the necklace to Louis.

“How did you find that?”

“On my way back to the north, I sensed a strange energy. When I investigated, I found a merchant group dealing in suspicious items and obtained it from there.”

To think he got hold of such an important item!

I looked at Louis holding the necklace with sparkling eyes.

“Louis, try putting it on.”

Louis put on the necklace without complaint, then suddenly started screaming ‘Ahhhhh!’

I looked at Louis in shock as Kaisis stretched out his arm protectively in front of me.

Had the dark magic activated?

I urgently began drawing up my mana…

“Wearing it again is damn heavy. I’m going to get a herniated disc in my neck.”

Kaisis and I stared at Louis with dumbfounded expressions.
