Dulan looked down at Isella. That gaze was extremely cold to assume he was a saint or a man in love.

Nevertheless, Dulan answered that he was keeping her asleep to protect Isella from Karen. Even if he himself might face the danger of being killed by Verdick. Karen felt disgusted by that strange act of virtue. Dulan, who noticed Karen’s gaze, opened his mouth.

“Yes, it’s a story you don’t need to know.”

“….”

“You, you’ll start over anyway. I, I’ll just… watch it from behind like this.”

Dulan answered Karen. His words were contradictory. He was performing good deeds and evil acts simultaneously. Under the pretext of protecting Isella from Karen, he was turning her into a vegetative state.

But he had no doubts about it. It was just an ambiguous attitude of ‘if you want to do it, go ahead, I’ll clean up but I won’t actively participate.’ Like an audience below the stage. Unable to do this or that, but that won’t do, but that won’t do either. That’s going too far. An interfering attitude.

Was that his duty as a priest? But if he truly believed, shouldn’t he refrain from even that? Karen spoke to Dulan while looking at Isella. While taking out scissors hidden under the pillow. Karen pressed the scissor blade against Isella’s white neck and glared at Dulan.

“Then don’t stop me from killing Miss Isella either. If you believe, if you believe in my life of living again, then my sins would also be meaningless. You mustn’t stop me.”

One who steals offers one lamb.

One who commits adultery offers three young heifers.

One who assaults offers one young mare.

One who murders pays for the sin with their life.

Murder cannot be repaid with anything other than death.

But what if that murder is meaningless? Karen was curious about that. She cannot commit sins. All of this is nothing but entertainment. So she acted and feels no guilt. No regret. So Karen asked Dulan.

“Do I have sins?”

Dulan shook his head.

“Then don’t stop me.”

But Dulan grabbed Karen’s arm. It was an act of stopping Karen. Dulan looked confused. But the strength in his hand was strong.

“If you believe, you have no reason to stop me, right?”

“You, you don’t need to kill either.”

“The reason is simple. I’m just bored. Then you die.”

“…How?”

It was an answer without a moment’s hesitation.

So Karen gained certainty from him.

Got him.

Dulan truly believes.

“What, what method do you want?”

Dulan seemed not to have noticed yet what meaning his answer held. Dulan was not afraid of dying for Isella, whom he didn’t even love, let alone consider worthless.

Even if Karen was reluctant to commit murder, that was certain. Dulan believes. So very certainly. It’s not because Dulan is a saint. It’s not because he’s overflowing with love. That act is something only a person with conviction can do.

“You, what do you know?”

Karen grabbed Dulan’s arm. Dulan tried to shake off his arm, but Karen held onto Dulan firmly. Think I’ll let you go?

“What do you know?”

“…I, I don’t know.”

Dulan lowered his head. He looked like a child who had done wrong. Karen grabbed Dulan, who was avoiding her gaze, and pressed him.

“Don’t be ridiculous. There’s no way you don’t know. You wouldn’t just sacrifice without any compensation. You wouldn’t just believe! What do you believe in? What are you certain of?”

“I, I, I know nothing!”

“Dulan!”

Karen stood up. She put the scissors down on the floor. She knows this poses no threat to Dulan. She rushed to Dulan and clung to him. He had the face of someone who wanted to run away from Karen. But she couldn’t let him go.

“What do you want? Do you want to sleep with me? Do you want to release your lust on my body? You can do it as much as you want. You want to, don’t you. No, if you don’t like that, do you want money? I’ll get you as much as you want. Hm? Please tell me what you know. Anything is fine. Even just speculation is okay, so please tell me at least one thing. If you want, I’ll marry you this time.”

Karen’s face twisted into a bizarre smile.

“Ah, is the situation too much right now? Then I’ll kill Isella. And take me to the temple. No one can arrest anyone in the sanctuary. You can play with me however you want there. Or you can play with my corpse. Just anything….”

“Come, come to your senses.”

“Do I look sane right now?”

Just when I thought I might finally find a clue!

“Don’t, don’t act like a whore. You, you don’t even love me…”

Karen’s mouth fell open at Dulan’s answer. She was dumbfounded. Flabbergasted. What is Dulan saying right now? While saying he believes, what on earth is he talking about? At this point?

“Dulan, Dulan, honey. Don’t tell me… are you serious? Do you really think that you or Raymond or whatever matters to me right now? Do you really think something like which man I end up with is truly important right now? Are you really that much of an idiot?”

Karen put strength into the hand that grabbed Dulan’s collar.

“Tell me whatever you want. No, tell me, I’ll do whatever you want. I’ll get you whatever you want.”

Please let me die.

Dulan’s face was bizarre. He looked as if he had seen something terrible. But Karen nevertheless noticed evidence of excitement in his lower body that was touching her.

See that. You’re different from your words after all. Even in this situation, you’re like this. She laughed while bringing her hand to his lower body. A body is cheap. But Dulan pushed Karen away.

“Don’t, don’t, don’t act like this.”

“Why?”

“This, this, this is…. This is.”

“You want to do it with me.”

Your words always contradict your body. Even when you spit out words of contempt, you feel lust. It was like that before and it will be like that now. Karen knew Dulan. The best means for him is the body.

“No, no, no!”

Dulan roughly pushed Karen away. Like the face of a violated virgin, Karen was dumbfounded. Dulan moved away from Karen and straightened his clothes. He calmed his ragged breathing. There seemed to be almost tears forming in his eyes.

“….”

“….”

How annoying.

Karen suppressed the urge to grab and tear at Dulan’s hair. She should have tortured Dulan to death from the beginning. In the next life, she should ambush him when Dulan is sleeping. Patience, patience.

“You, you don’t love anyone… do you?”

It wasn’t a question that demanded an answer. Dulan covered his face with his hands.

“Until, until now, it must have been… like that.”

“Let’s stop the boring talk. Take off your clothes. Or do you want to do it with them on?”

Dulan grabbed his own arms, his whole body trembling as if convulsing. Dulan spoke while trembling and stammering.

“I, I, I still don’t know anything… But if you repent and… love someone….”

“What?”

“If you truly fall in, in love.”

Dulan answered while still covering his face and stammering.

“I’ll give you all the information I know now… It looks difficult though.”

Karen had to suppress a snort at his words. Is Dulan still playing romance novel games like Catherine, like her father? Karen approached Dulan while speaking.

“Hey, cut out the silly games.”

“….”

“Just sleep with me and give me the information. Even better if it’s free.”

But Dulan was still covering his face in the corner. He looked almost like he was crying. His body was trembling. The feeling of becoming a low-quality person bullying an idiot was disgusting. Who’s blaming whom?

“It’s, it’s, it’s not me.”

“Ha.”

“I’m… not.”

Dulan lowered his hands. Contrary to expectation, Dulan wasn’t crying. Rather, he had hardened his face like a corpse.

“Don’t, don’t forget. You have to love enough for me to acknowledge it.”

* * *

Raymond put down his gun.

Karen didn’t kill Dulan. She didn’t kill Isella either. That was enough. There was no reason to kill Karen immediately. Raymond recalled his conversation with Dulan.

“She, she has no sins.”

What action should he take?

Raymond disliked this confusing situation. He wished it were clearer. Tomorrow he would need to have more conversation. Even trying to interrogate her a little, Karen was too precarious. It seemed he needed to place her somewhere safer and watch over her.

But his manor was too far away. He pondered a suitable place. Which family should he ask for help?

“….”

There was no need to kill her. At least not now. Raymond removed the bullets from his gun.

* * *

“I dislike complicated things.”

“That’s fortunate. So do I.”

Karen said while rubbing her sleepy eyes and greeting Raymond, who had knocked on her window since dawn. It was because her head became complicated after receiving the command that wasn’t a command from Dulan to love. Karen met Raymond with a dazed face.

“How rude of me to visit a lady’s room from dawn.”

“You did that before too.”

“That’s true.”

Karen rubbed her eyes and closed the window.

“How is your back?”

“Not great. But it’s better than yesterday. After taking all those medicines.”

“That’s a relief.”

“Yes. I heard that Lord Raymond brought Dulan from Mr. Verdick. Thank you.”

Karen remembered what Donna had said with an excited face and bowed her head.

“Fall in love.”

And that’s what Dulan had said. But would that be possible? Just as Raymond had told Karen this time that his meeting with her might become revenge against Verdick, she could guess that Raymond had approached Karen with a plan in the past as well.
