Chapter 90

Suddenly embarrassed, I hurriedly escaped from Kaisis’s embrace.

“Yes, it’s finished.”

“Then let’s head back now.”

And so we were about to return.

If only it weren’t for the powerful dark magic energy I suddenly felt.

I turned around in shock.

Then I saw a suspicious figure wearing a black robe.

A powerful dark magic energy was flowing from him.

It was more sinister and powerful than any dark magic energy I had ever felt before.

Such powerful energy was….

A Black Mage!

I hurriedly tried to draw up my magic power.

But it wasn’t easy since I had almost exhausted my magic power just moments before.

That’s when it happened.

The Black Mage extended his hand and sent something flying toward me.

Black-colored magic power.

I instinctively realized that this was something that could threaten my life.

With my magic power completely depleted, I was no different from an ordinary person.

If I got hit by that….

As I tried to dodge somehow, suddenly warm arms embraced me.

“Kaisis!”

Kaisis embraced me protectively.

The black magic power struck Kaisis and me, and at the same time, a bright blue light burst from Kaisis’s pocket.

At that moment, I saw it.

The strange pattern drawn on the Black Mage’s robe.

That pattern was….

[Warning! You have been attacked by a Black Mage! Dark magic damage reduction skill is activated! Reducing damage!]

A system window appeared with a beeping sound.

[Reduced dark magic damage by 80%. Entering hallucination state with remaining 20% damage.]

Before entering the hallucination state, I drew up all my remaining magic power and attacked the Black Mage.

In an instant, I saw the Black Mage scatter into black particles of light.

He was escaping.

“Where are you going!”

I wanted to catch the Black Mage immediately, but contrary to my will, my vision became blurry.

I slowly collapsed while watching the Black Mage scatter into black particles of light.

* * *

Haneul Soo-young in South Korea was a child who wasn’t loved by anyone.

Since my parents abandoned me early on, I was raised by my grandmother’s hand, but grandmother didn’t like me either since I was abandoned by my parents.

“Useless child.”

Those were the words I heard every day.

Abandoned by my parents, I was completely useless.

So naturally, I couldn’t be loved by anyone.

Grandmother said that a person’s value is determined by their usefulness.

So I tried to become a useful person.

But….

No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t find a way to become useful.

So I gave up early.

I cut ties with my family and lived comforting myself by thinking I didn’t need to be loved.

But the hole in one corner of my heart only grew larger with each passing day.

I also wanted to be loved by someone, but I lived pretending I didn’t need love.

Nothing made a person more miserable than wanting something they couldn’t have.

That’s what the terrible deprivation I experienced from childhood had taught me.

So I was enduring by not even hoping for love, saying I could live well alone.

But did I actually want to receive love too?

“…ber, hey! So…r Young…!”

Then, I faintly heard what sounded like someone calling me.

“Lady Sauver!”

Finally awakening from the hallucination, I looked around in shock.

“Why am I here….”

“Don’t you remember?”

The Duke looked at me and asked with a worried expression.

Why was I here again?

I definitely received a letter asking for help, so I treated the husband of a woman undergoing Masu Transformation, and then….

“Kaisis!”

Remembering up to being attacked by the Black Mage, I urgently looked for Kaisis.

Kaisis was lying not far from me.

“Kaisis! Wake up, Kaisis!”

As I approached him and shook him awake, cold sweat trickled down Kaisis’s neat forehead.

Judging by his frowning expression, Kaisis was definitely seeing bad hallucinations too.

“Kaisis! Snap out of it!”

It was when I was earnestly shaking Kaisis awake.

Kaisis’s eyelids slowly lifted and soon met my eyes.

“Rene….”

“That’s right, it’s me, Rene. Are you okay, Kaisis?”

As I was checking on Kaisis’s condition, he suddenly bolted upright and embraced me.

“Kaisis?”

“Rene…. Rene….”

Kaisis repeated my name like a child placed in an extremely anxious environment and hugged me tightly with force.

I held such Kaisis tightly and stroked his back.

“I don’t know what hallucination you saw, but it’s okay now. Don’t worry.”

“I thought I was losing you again….”

“I won’t disappear, absolutely not.”

When I spoke with emphasis, Kaisis lifted his reddened eyes to look at me.

“Really?”

Kaisis looked extremely anxious.

I didn’t know what hallucination he saw, but it was probably related to me.

“Yes, really.”

When I nodded, Kaisis finally seemed to calm down and hugged me tightly again.

I comforted such Kaisis for quite a while.

“By the way, who was that person just now?”

It was then that the Duke, who had been watching us two, asked about the Black Mage.

Only then did I look back at where the Black Mage had been standing.

But the Black Mage had already escaped, as there was nothing there.

“It was a Black Mage…. He must have escaped.”

I gritted my teeth in frustration.

At the mention of a Black Mage, the Duke also became serious and looked back at where the Black Mage had been standing just moments before.

“Are you saying that person was a Black Mage?”

“Yes.”

I nodded while still comforting Kaisis, who still wouldn’t leave my side.

The Duke looked at Kaisis and me with a strange expression and muttered.

“I did send something black flying toward Lady Sauver. I suppose that was black magic.”

I helped calm Kaisis and got him to his feet, then came out of the temple with the Duke.

The forest was bright and peaceful, as if it had been perfectly purified. The Pimpis flowers were no longer visible either.

We walked down through the purified Kyton Forest.

Since we had come here by teleportation, I was wondering how we should return now that we had no mana left.

“Lady Sauver, did you happen to bring a carriage?”

“No, I didn’t bring a carriage.”

When I shook my head, the Duke asked if we would like to go to his manor first.

“To the Duke’s mansion?”

“Yes, your clothes are a mess, and more importantly, you’ll need a carriage.”

Indeed, my current attire was a complete mess.

I had fought demon beasts and collapsed after losing consciousness.

And it was true that we needed a carriage.

“Then I’ll trouble you for a moment.”

When I nodded, Kaisis looked at me with a displeased expression.

He probably didn’t like the idea of me going to the Duke’s mansion.

Indeed, if we were spotted going in and out of each other’s homes when we were rumored to have been lovers, who knows what the nobles would say.

But right now, we needed the Duke’s help.

I soothed Kaisis and headed to the Duke’s mansion with the Duke.

Fortunately, it wasn’t too far from Kyton Forest to the Duke’s mansion. It was about a 10-minute walk.

That’s probably why the Duke didn’t bring a carriage either.

When the Duke returned home, the knights who had been anxiously waiting for him came running out.

“Your Highness, are you safe?”

“As you can see.”

The knights let out sighs of relief.

“Um, Your Highness.”

I carefully called out to the Duke who was smiling at the knights.

“What is it, Lady Sauver?”

The Duke immediately turned to look at me.

I glanced worriedly at Kaisis’s hand and said.

“Could you please call a doctor?”

My mana was completely depleted right now. Therefore, I couldn’t heal Kaisis’s hand.

“Where are you injured?”

“Not me, but Kai.”

When I gestured toward Kaisis’s hand, the Duke made an “ah” sound.

“I’ll order them to prepare that along with a change of clothes.”

“Thank you.”

“Let’s go to the guest room on the second floor first.”

The Duke guided us to the second floor.

“I’ll have a change of clothes brought to you right away.”

With those words, the Duke left the room, leaving Kaisis and me alone.

“Kaisis.”

When I called Kaisis, he turned to look at me, having worn a sullen expression the whole time.

“What kind of hallucination did you see earlier? You looked like you were in so much pain.”
