Episode 10

Raspen spoke with a bewildered expression.

“To be precise, it wasn’t a fist but a foot. They say she threw a kick.”

Declan rose to his feet.

“Find out who dared to hit my daughter’s foot and punish them severely.”

“Yes, understood.”

“…And, the child’s body.”

“Pardon?”

He really doesn’t understand.

Declan’s brow twitched. He muttered as if chewing and spitting out words he shouldn’t say.

“I’m asking if the child’s body wasn’t hurt.”

“Well, there wasn’t any mention of that…”

Having said that much, Raspen carefully examined Declan’s expression.

Then he casually said.

“Still, she might have been injured, so wouldn’t it be better for you to see for yourself?”

Raspen, who had checked the note from the communication orb, chattered like a sparrow.

“This is such a serious matter that the head butler said it’s an issue that absolutely requires meeting with Lord Ortejo.”

“…”

“The head butler said, ‘If Lord Ortejo doesn’t come, I will return to being a commoner.’ I’ve never seen such a firm request for return before.”

“…”

“What kind of accident could it be?”

“…”

“Ah, anyway. Are you really not going? This might be the last meeting of your life. We’ve caught all the demons now, after all.”

Declan rubbed his dry face and muttered.

“A child who grew up receiving only love from warm people in the Southern Region.”

“…”

“If she sees me, she’ll probably get hurt because of the demonic energy. Even if she doesn’t get hurt, there’s no point in seeing each other’s faces…”

“Pardon?”

He rubbed his dry face.

“…Never mind, we’re not supposed to get attached.”

“So, you’re not going?”

After a long silence, Declan mounted his horse and whispered.

“I lost.”

“Pardon?”

“…I’ll return to the castle, so tell them to wrap the child’s body well with magical tools.”

Raspen, who was slow to grasp the situation and rolling his eyes, quickly said.

“Yes. I’ll tell them to completely shield Lady Airi’s body with magical tools!”

“Can she…endure the demonic energy for about 10 minutes?”

“Of course, probably so.”

The words he should say were already decided.

Don’t get hurt staying in the Northern Region, and be happy in the peaceful Southern Region.

Mounted on his horse, he gripped the reins and glanced at Raspen.

“Look at my face. Sufficiently menacing, right?”

Raspen, who had quickly mounted his horse, rolled his eyes and muttered.

“Well… If I answer honestly, won’t my lifeline be cut?”

“Then get lost.”

Declan roughly spurred his horse toward the waterside. It was to check his own face. His face reflected on the water surface was…

Hair black as if contaminated.

Eyes red like blood. In the Southern Region, they called this eye color a symbol of curse.

He hoped his daughter had heard the deadly rumors about him.

Declan pulled the horse’s reins.

His fine horse, as if reading its master’s heart, galloped at a faster speed than usual.

Feeling the wind hitting his cheeks, Declan thought.

He would die soon.

If he shared his heart before dying, it would be a great wound to the child.

So, no matter how adorable the child might be, it didn’t matter.

He would absolutely never give his affection.
