Chapter 202

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The man who had been running frantically suddenly clutched his abdomen and collapsed in the corridor.

 

Anyone could see it was Wolf Subordinate 1 who had taken a fatal blow to the stomach.

 

The likely suspect?

 

‘I didn’t see it with my own eyes though.’

 

Naturally, the only one who could throw a punch that fast was…

 

“You hit him, didn’t you?”

 

“No?”

 

‘He totally hit him…’

 

Was he embarrassed by what he said earlier?

 

“Gasp… Sob…”

 

Anyway, Subordinate 1, who had been ambushed, barely managed to get up from his position. Then he staggered like a zombie and walked toward Klaus.

 

Klaus hiding me behind him happened almost simultaneously.

 

“…?”

 

Klaus was at least a head taller than me, and his back was very broad. Thanks to that, all I could see in front of me was Klaus’s wide back.

 

“What. Why are you suddenly popping up? You said you’d come tomorrow.”

 

“The investigation finished, so I returned immediately.”

 

“I’ll hear it tomorrow, so get lost for now.”

 

“Then I’ll just give you a brief report.”

 

“No, I’m telling you to get lost right now!”

 

“I’ll really just say one thing and then leave! It’s too serious! Your Highness, the curse you mentioned that was attached to Lady Frazier was a curse from the Destroyed Continent!”

 

“…What?”

 

‘Huh?’

 

Me?

 

A curse attached to me?

 

Suddenly, I recalled what Klaus had said to me a few days ago, sticking close to me.

 

 

 

“Not a filthy smell, but an ominous smell.”

 

“How should I describe it exactly…”

 

“Right. It would be the smell of… a curse.”

 

 

 

‘He ordered an investigation into that?’

 

Before I knew it, Klaus’s hand holding mine tightened slightly.

 

The minor problem was that he was closer to a wolf than a human, so even a slight grip strength made me feel like my hand was being crushed.

 

“Guh…”

 

I tried my best to suppress the scream, but it only resulted in an even stranger moan escaping.

 

It was so embarrassing. Even a perverted bastard who committed barbaric acts and was sentenced to death would have made a more human-like scream than this.

 

“Gasp. Hey! Are you okay?”

 

Klaus immediately turned around and examined my hand. Seeing my reddened hand, he couldn’t even lift his head.

 

“Sorry. No, why is your body so weak… No. It’s my fault for using too much strength. I’m sorry. Does it hurt a lot? I should call a doctor. Jin…!”

 

“No. I’m fine. It’s not that bad.”

 

I lightly shook my hand, which was throbbing with a tingling pain. Then I lifted my head.

 

It was to make eye contact with that mysterious mage who had been sending piercing gazes since earlier.

 

‘Whoa.’

 

And I was secretly surprised inside.

 

The mage’s eyes were unusual.

 

Like someone with a crescent moon carved inside their eyes, a golden crescent moon pattern was clearly engraved within the night sky-like black pupils.

 

Moreover, various moon patterns were drawn on his face like tattoos, making it seem difficult for weak-hearted people to look at his face properly.

 

‘Indeed, Summer Continent mages look extraordinary from the start.’

 

Is this why they hold a position worlds apart from Spring Continent mages who are treated like skilled technicians?

 

However.

 

“Klaus. Is this mage also your subordinate?”

 

“…Yeah.”

 

Klaus introduced him with a reluctant voice.

 

“Kaitan. Say hello. This is Lady Tulia Frazier.”

 

“Greetings… Lady Tulia Frazier. I am Kaitan, the seventy-seventh mage of the great Lupinus Kingdom.”

 

Just as I was observing Kaitan, Kaitan was also observing me very thoroughly and meticulously.

 

We both felt it in that moment.

 

‘This guy… is not ordinary!’

 

‘This woman… is not to be underestimated!’

 

Of course, the latter was just my imagination. Though his gaze was clearly saying exactly that.

 

If it were an ordinary young lady, no, it wasn’t about being a young lady.

 

If it were an ordinary Spring Continent noble, they would have definitely been frightened by the opponent’s unusual appearance.

 

I was a little scared when I first encountered him too.

 

However.

 

I must not forget that the terrifying potential called Tulia always dwells within my body.

 

“You’re Klaus’s subordinate?”

 

The mage called Kaitan just nodded without much response.

 

Meanwhile, he was looking at me like ‘a Lock&Lock container that once contained a curse.’

 

In other words, he was being unlucky.

 

“I see. Then you’ll submit to me too.”

 

Immediately, veins popped on the mage Kaitan’s forehead.

 

“…What do you mean? Young Lady. I only submit and obey to royalty who carry Roshva’s bloodline.”

 

“I’m the one who saved the life of that great prince who carries Roshva’s bloodline. Klaus. Don’t tell me you hid that important fact?”

 

Klaus, who had been staring at me, chuckled.

 

“No. I told him.”

 

Klaus immediately gestured with his chin toward the mage.

 

“She’s not wrong, so treat her politely. Anyway, I’m alive because of her.”

 

“…Understood. Your Highness.”

 

‘Mother, Grandmother. Are you watching from heaven? I’m above a haughty Summer Continent mage.’

 

Perhaps my thought that I must crush this mage at least once was due to the bloodline of Mother and Grandmother flowing in my body?

 

Both of them held positions in the Summer Continent. They said they were something like royalty.

 

‘Right. So I can’t let a mere mage treat me lightly.’

 

That would be an insult to the royal bloodline flowing in my body!

 

Mage Kaitan seemed to have read the arrogance flowing in my eyes. His lips twitched.

 

“Your Highness!”

 

Kaitan immediately straightened his chin.

 

“Since it’s come to this, and the Young Lady is here anyway, I must tell you everything I’ve discovered! The Young Lady actually has a very ominous body!”

 

‘What did you say, you bastard?’

 

“What did you say, you bastard?”

 

Experiencing the words swirling in my head come out through someone else’s voice was quite refreshing.

 

Klaus had already grabbed Kaitan by the collar and lifted him up.

 

Even though Kaitan was tall and well-built as befitting someone from Lupinus Kingdom, he was still a bit smaller compared to Klaus. So his feet were dangling.

 

“No! Your Highness! Really! You said she smelled of curses! I think there’s still more curse left! I’ll remove it for you! I’ll remove it… Gack!”

 

“Klaus. Don’t you only have one mage?”

 

“Right.”

 

“Then you have to let him go… If he dies, we’ll have to bring him from that distant kingdom again.”

 

“Ha.”

 

Klaus abruptly set Kaitan down.

 

Kaitan gasped for breath desperately like someone who had just been rescued from water, then glanced at Klaus with frightened eyes.

 

Then.

 

“Thank you for sparing my life! Miss! I will serve you with my life on the line!”

 

He suddenly clung to my leg. Klaus’s voice became even more ominous.

 

“Ha. Stop being so embarrassing and get off…”

 

“Yes!”

 

Kaitan immediately detached from my leg and caught his breath several times.

 

“But since I do need to tell you right away, shall we go to a tea room for a moment?”

 

Klaus frowned and looked back at me.

 

“You said you were hungry.”

 

“With all this commotion, the food must have gotten cold… We can have some tea while they reheat it. We can listen then.”

 

Klaus glared at Kaitan with a displeased expression, then took my hand again and started walking.

 

After walking a few steps, I realized.

 

That Klaus was holding my hand and walking.

 

And very tightly, like a child who had lost his mother and was scared.
