Chapter 65
Normally, this would just take a glance or two, but right now I was tremendously exhausted.
I was afraid I might completely lose consciousness if I made a wrong move, so I bit down hard and received the deposit coins.
Suddenly, my vision flashed brightly.
[System] Receiving deposit from ‘Lead Bank’!
[System] Receiving 10% interest rate!
[System] 100 coins given as interest!
[System] Current coins held: 1,102
My heart swelled with pride at the number 100.
Though as proud as my heart felt, my eyes gradually closed.
‘Raise luck stat. Just keep raising it.’
I frantically raised my luck stat.
Clink!
Clink!
Clink!
While I was unconscious, there was a high probability that Viscount Lilius would engage in public opinion warfare again and suggest shooting ‘just one more time.’
“There’s a problem with the magic tool! I didn’t mean to shoot that!”
Right now he was in a serious panic state, screaming at the top of his lungs.
[System] Luck penalty is removed.
Was it thanks to the speed close to rapid clicking?
A message appeared instantly saying the luck penalty had been removed.
How welcome that message was.
That magic bow was set to automatically shoot three arrows.
After hitting the target with the first shot, the remaining two were fired with intervals.
My time calculation was quite accurate.
Almost simultaneously with removing the penalty.
Thwack!
Thwack!
The two arrows that flew hit the apples precisely.
“….”
It became quiet.
Viscount Lilius fell silent like the shattered apple.
‘That shattered apple will be your future, won’t it?’
Tedrick was a bonus.
Aubrey was extra.
The winged star spinning around above my head looked like an angel’s trumpet.
In other words, it hurt like I was about to die.
I could laugh inside, but why were tears coming out on the outside?
It really hurt like hell.
“Miss!”
“There’s too much blood!”
“Tulia! Tulia!”
Lisian’s voice echoed in my ears, and without knowing if I had told him I was okay.
I lost consciousness just like that.
* * *
“An arrow?”
Tulia’s Assistant Butler – Grans nodded with an anxious expression.
“Yes, Young Master Leon.”
“And?”
“Miss Tulia was hit. Again.”
She was hit directly in the thigh!
Miss Tulia!
By that huge arrow!
A quiet voice containing all these shouts flowed out like a report.
“Miss is currently completely unconscious.”
“Is that so?”
“….”
“I see.”
A voice responding without sincerity.
Publicly, it was said he had collapsed and was bedridden, which was half true and half false.
It was true that Leon Frazier had actually collapsed and was bedridden.
But he also had a skilled personal physician, and the medicinal herbs that Tulia had forced him to buy were all top-grade medicinal materials that even nobles couldn’t afford.
Most importantly, Leon Frazier was a talent among talents who always took unrivaled first place in Academy swordsmanship exams.
Since his basic physical strength was originally tremendous, he quickly got up and recovered.
Even the personal physician was amazed by Leon’s monstrous recovery ability.
‘Sigh.’
Only Grans, Tulia’s Assistant Butler, was burning with anxiety inside.
This was his first time entering Leon Frazier’s bedroom.
Though the twins rarely came to the Grand Duchy, even Aubrey didn’t dare ignore them.
As evidence, even the carpet laid on Leon Frazier’s bedroom floor was an extremely expensive luxury item.
Made of pure wool, this soft and fluffy carpet was one of the luxury items most preferred by Imperial nobles.
Sitting casually on such an expensive carpet, what was Leon Frazier doing?
He was counting coins.
Cheap copper coins made of copper that only commoner children would like.
Though some silver coins were mixed in occasionally.
It was such an insignificant amount that even the servants of Grand Duke Frazier House wouldn’t bat an eye.
But why was Leon Frazier of all people suddenly concentrating as if that pathetic amount was all the wealth of his life?
Grans sighed inwardly.
‘Young Master is being too much.’
Of course he knew.
The fact that the relationship between Tulia and Leon Frazier was the worst.
Thanks to that, even when coming to report news about Tulia, he had expected Leon Frazier to show a passive reaction.
But wasn’t this too much?
Even when told that his sister had been hit by that huge arrow again, to listen so insincerely while crouching on the floor counting worthless coins.
Even he, a mere servant, was flabbergasted.
If Miss Tulia had come here directly and received such treatment from her own brother, how sad and disappointed would she have been?
‘She’s quite a sensitive person.’
Assistant Butler Grans, who had already grown fond of Tulia, glared at Leon Frazier with resentful eyes for no reason.
I thought being somewhat handsome and popular in high society was everything.
Acting so cold-bloodedly toward his own sister.
While I was internally gossiping about everything.
“But that’s not exactly a bow, is it.”
Leon Frazier suddenly spoke up.
The Assistant Butler hesitated and answered a beat late.
“Pardon? Ah, it is a magic tool… indeed.”
“Right?”
Leon Frazier spoke with his usual indifferent face that revealed nothing of his inner thoughts, seeming almost carefree.
“That magic tool is on the level of a small ballista. It has much more destructive power than something like a bow. Even though the ones sold at Magic Tower shops have greatly reduced lethality, it’s still a higher-grade weapon than a bow.”
His voice was indifferent, as if reciting memorized facts.
Even while speaking, Leon Frazier, unbecoming of a noble young master of a marquis house, finished carefully counting about fourteen or fifteen copper coins and stood up from his seat.
“That’s fortunate.”
Could he possibly mean it was fortunate that Miss was hit by an arrow?
If that was the case, it was truly too much.
No matter how bad their relationship was, they were still blood siblings!
Grans couldn’t bring himself to get angry, but he was losing all affection for this man called Leon Frazier who only had a nice exterior.
It would be wiser to return now and attend to Miss Tulia.
“You absolutely must bring Leon Frazier. Okay? You trust me? Okay? I’m trusting you. Okay?”
That semi-threat… No, having received Miss’s desperate request, he couldn’t fail to fulfill his duty as one of the three musketeers… No, as a servant.
“That should be worth a few days’ meals.”
“…?”
It happened in an instant.
Leon Frazier, who had been muttering incomprehensible words, rushed outside like the wind.
“Y-Young Master?!”
Panicked, Grans hurriedly followed after him.
Leon Frazier was already running to the far end of the corridor.
Even that figure disappeared from view in just a moment.
It was exactly in the direction leading to the forest where Miss Tulia, Young Master Lisian, and various nobles were causing a commotion.
Grans came to his senses a beat late.
As he hurriedly moved his steps, the gold pouch in Grans’s chest made jingling sounds.
It was what Tulia had entrusted to him.
“If Leon Frazier refuses to come and holds out, tell him I’ll return about 30% of the money from when I forced those medicinal materials on him last time. Got it?”
I was going to give him this…
‘It seems there’s no need to give it, Miss Tulia…’
Through the windows lining the corridor, Leon Frazier had already left the castle and was heading toward the forest on horseback.
Grans thought it was fortunate that siblings were siblings after all, but then flinched a beat late.
“Wait.”
Could it be.
Surely not.
‘He’s not trying to secretly take the money that was extorted while Miss Tulia is unconscious, is he?’
“No, surely not…”
Even while shaking his head slightly, he couldn’t help but feel suspicious.
There was that shabby sight of him gathering and counting copper coins one by one earlier.
And Tulia’s distrust toward Leon Frazier had been so strong originally.
Grans couldn’t help but have such disloyal suspicions.
He felt he needed to quickly show this gold pouch so that the young master would move according to Miss’s wishes.
“Hiya!”
Grans also quickly borrowed a horse and followed.
* * *
Darkness.
Everything had been darkness since I was hit by the arrow.
It must be because I fainted.
If I continue to stay unconscious like this, my faithful personal physician will do his best to treat me.
He’ll sprinkle in powder with anesthetic effects and use his miraculous skills with the expensive medicinal materials I received from Grandfather to make me hurt ‘less’ as much as possible.
Adel will also diligently help from the side.
She’ll worry if I wake up late, but she’ll have plenty of warm stew and porridge boiling in the kitchen.
However.
I needed to wake up now.
It wasn’t enough yet to deliver a big blow.
I had to get up.
I have to get up.
Even though I suffered tremendous injuries and went to the brink of death, I couldn’t be completely unconscious like this now.
I didn’t even know I would faint in the first place.
I didn’t know it would hurt that much!
Wake up quickly, Han Ina!
Wake up!
But no matter how much I shouted at myself, my body wouldn’t budge as if bound tightly with iron chains.
Was I hurt that badly?
No matter how greatly modified the magic tool was, it was still just getting hit by one arrow.
Tulia in was quite tough.
Tough enough to smile brightly like a ghost toward the blonde male lead while bleeding after drinking strong liquor with pearls in it.
Her lines back then were like that too.
-You didn’t kill me, I drank it myself.
-It’s your defeat.
-Now go to that Coriko you love so much and wag your tail. Like a dog in heat.
-My corpse? If you wrap it up prettily and take it to Coriko, she’d love it, wouldn’t she?
Tulia with no ordinary mental strength.
Tulia who has now become my body.
Ah, is that it?
Can’t I hear because this body isn’t Han Ina’s body?
I tried shouting forcefully in my mind again.
Tulia!
Wake up!
You haven’t finished your revenge yet!
Can you, with your nasty personality, be satisfied with just this much?!
You’re the biggest trash in this game!
Aren’t you angry about being deceived by those damn bastards since childhood?!
* * *
Flash.
“Oh my goodness!”
The personal physician, who had been hurriedly moving around with medicine in hand, was startled.
“Ah, Miss?”
