Chapter 203
* * *
“First, let me tell you that the curse His Highness mentioned was indeed a curse from the Destroyed Continent.”
At Kaitan’s words, my eyes widened. Klaus, who had been watching me, immediately asked.
“What’s wrong?”
“I heard those words from the Fanatics in the cave back then too. They called me a woman from the Destroyed Continent.”
“In the cave…”
“The cave in Belus Territory. On the day I saved you.”
“…”
Klaus cupped his chin, seemingly lost in thought.
Perhaps due to his bright hair, he shone particularly brilliantly under the evening light, as if he were a being bathed in a mixture of sunset and moonlight.
I had been staring intently at Klaus, but then I looked at Kaitan, who was now gazing at me with worshipful eyes unlike before, and asked.
“But where is the Destroyed Continent?”
Kaitan hesitated slightly.
“That… I’m sorry, but it’s classified. Miss. Not only by His Majesty the King of Rufinus, but also designated as classified according to the major laws of the Summer Continent…”
“Summer Continent.”
“Huh?”
“The Destroyed Continent is the Summer Continent.”
“Your Highness!”
Kaitan screamed with a horrified expression.
Klaus, regardless, remained lost in thought with one hand still cupping his chin.
“I’ll tell the Old Man myself, so keep it down.”
“How many times must I tell you not to call His Majesty the King ‘Old Man’!”
“I’m trying not to call him that in front of him.”
“Haah… And now you’re leaking classified information. If His Majesty finds out about this…”
“She’s my companion. Can’t I even tell her that much?”
“You said it was temporary!”
“A temporary guest is still a guest, and temporary snacks are still snacks.”
“What on earth are you saying!”
Kaitan clutched his head in agony. I shifted my gaze to Klaus and asked.
“Did your continent get destroyed?”
“No. If it were destroyed, would I be here? What actually got destroyed were the Autumn Continent and Winter Continent…”
Klaus continued with eyes deeper and more sunken than ever before.
“The Heretics who came from there call the Summer Continent that. The Destroyed Continent. Well, actually 30% of the Summer Continent has already rotted away.”
“Your Highness! Please! That’s classified among classified information!”
“I told you she’s my companion?”
“You said it was temporary!”
Kaitan was now in agony from being unable to faint. But I was more concerned with the opportunity to satisfy my curiosity.
“Why is the Summer Continent rotting? Is the land just getting contaminated for no reason?”
“I’m supposed to hear about that today too. Kaitan. Tell us.”
Kaitan was already shedding tears profusely.
“Yes. I don’t know either.”
A voice of despair flowed out.
“I’ll just tell you everything… This is also urgent news I barely heard, but the source that made the Summer Continent rot was precisely those Fanatics who came over from the Autumn and Winter Continents.”
Instantly, Klaus’s pupils contracted like a beast’s. A murderous intent powerfully emanated for a moment.
I, who had been habitually staring at him, felt my heart sink. I truly felt that Klaus was indeed a descendant who inherited the bloodline of the Wolf King.
“So these bastards wanted to destroy the Summer Continent all along. What’s the reason?”
“We couldn’t uncover the reason. However, once we found out it was the Fanatics’ doing, the Summer Continent Guardians became very busy.”
As I listened to their conversation and reached for my teacup, I suddenly looked down.
“What? Why are you doing this?”
It was because Kaitan, whose face had turned pale, was gripping my hand tightly.
“W-wait a moment! Miss?”
“Yeah?”
Instantly, several magic circles appeared in the air. They were magic circles about the size of teacups, and the color instantly drained from Klaus’s face.
“Who the hell is this crazy bastard casting magic on!”
Crack. Along with the sound of bones being crushed, Kaitan was kicked by Klaus and rolled across the floor.
“A-are you okay?”
“I’m fine, but he doesn’t look okay, does he?”
“This crazy bastard laying hands on someone’s companion…”
Klaus, who was growling, was different from usual. Even his fangs, sharper than those of ordinary humans, were menacingly bared.
The problem was Kaitan. Even with his head split open and blood flowing freely, his eyes seemed to see only me.
Kaitan shouted while trembling.
“Your Highness! This young lady has the blood of a Summer Continent Guardian flowing through her! And very strongly at that!”
“Kaitan, if I had known you were such a bastard who only babbles nonsense, I would have gone to that Old Man Rasen and complained. I’d tell him not to send such a guy and to let him rot in the Summer Continent for life!”
“No, Your Highness! I’m really not talking nonsense…! And ‘that Old Man Rasen’! Please don’t casually call His Majesty the King’s noble name like that!”
Kaitan, who had been pleading his innocence with blood and tears, suddenly jumped up.
“Fine! If you absolutely can’t believe me, I’ll go investigate properly and come back!”
And then.
“Ah!”
In the blink of an eye, he cut my finger and dabbed the blood on his handkerchief. Klaus immediately punched Kaitan in the cheek.
“This insane bastard doesn’t seem to want to live anymore?”
“I’m sorry! Your Highness! Miss! I needed some blood for a perfect examination!”
Kaitan rushed out of the tea room like the wind. His speed was worthy of being called the god of lightning.
“I should bury him in a corner with the Old Man, that crazy bastard…”
Of all things, to suddenly have my blood stolen.
I put the bleeding finger in my mouth.
To detect the fact that I have Summer Continent Guardian bloodline so quickly.
‘The Mages of the Summer Continent are certainly impressive. Since he’s directly under the royal family, he must be one with superior skills, right?’
He was truly comparable to a drug detection dog.
“Hey.”
Then Klaus pulled my finger out of my mouth and examined it from various angles. His eyes were blazing.
“Are you okay? That bastard, I’m really going to… I’ll kill him right now and bring him to you as a gift.”
“Kill him as a gift? Are people taxidermy now?”
“Is that guy even human? He drew your blood? How dare he without any fear!”
“I’m the one who got my blood drawn, so why are you getting more heated about it?”
“Because you’re mine! Of course he should have asked my permission first!”
‘There he goes again. That’s severe enough to be called a disease.’
Klaus looked angrier than me, who had actually had blood drawn. I tried to calm him down, saying the bleeding had already stopped and it didn’t hurt.
“Aren’t Summer Continent Mages precious talents?”
“Precious or not, he’s still a Mage. Do you think he’s more precious than royalty?”
“Still, if you kill him, we’ll have to call another Mage from the Summer Continent, right? I’m fine, so just tell him to come apologize later.”
I had already heard roughly about it from Father, but I was also a bit curious about what results this would bring.
“Hah…”
Klaus repeatedly rubbed his face and then said.
“Let’s go eat. I’ll tie that bastard’s arms and legs crosswise and gift him to you later.”
* * *
‘Klaus really does eat a lot when he’s deep in thought.’
Does Klaus himself know that he almost devoured an entire deer by himself?
He was earnestly and silently eating the meat dish with hot juices dripping down, but anyone could see his mind was elsewhere.
Dinner ended quietly.
The fact that over twenty plates were completely emptied when just the two of us were eating was quite amusing, I briefly thought.
Just as we finished cleansing our palates with sherbet.
“Lady Tulia.”
A servant approached and quietly asked.
“Since you’ve finished your meal, would you like to return to the main building? Head Maid Adel has come personally to escort you.”
“I’ll stay a bit longer before going. Tell Adel to rest in the waiting room.”
“Understood, my lady.”
The reason I wasn’t immediately leaving Klaus to return was, of course, because of the Quest.
A Quest had appeared so urgently telling me to come see Klaus, and I didn’t believe there would be nothing after that.
Anyone would become this sensitive after being backstabbed about 3,000 times by Kim Ddongbyeol.
I planned to stay by Klaus’s side until at least the limits of etiquette allowed before returning. So, until midnight?
However, my plan was brutally shattered.
“Certain, I’m certain!”
Because Kaitan came running with bruises around his eyes.
“My lady! Your mother was the Sacred Tree Guardian!”
