Chapter 56
* * *
Dalia took Adrisha to the largest bakery in Vesta’s festival grounds. And the sweet desserts made her stomach burst. (Actually, Dalia ate a little more than Adrisha.)
Adrisha was still gloomy. Still, thanks to the power of the festival, she seed to be feeling much better in the evening.
Dalia pressed the back of her fork toward the tip of Adrisha’s nose.
“Are you feeling better now?”
“……Yes.”
“You fool.”
Dalia smiled faintly. Adrisha smiled as well.
In fact, although she pretended to be okay, this incident bothered Dalia, though not as much as Adrisha.
ldon is fine for now, but it was only a matter of ti before he went crazy the mont he entered the full-fledged love and hate route.
Moreover, as ldon was soone who worked in the underworld, he often solved the problem by using his own mana.
‘The more you use mana, the more your soul degrades.’
In other words, even before eting Adrisha, the corruption of his soul has already taken place. He’s such a sly person that it’s hard to tell.
Dalia let out a sigh.
In the original route, ldon never harassed Adrisha alone.
It was also very common to touch the people around her to inflict pain on her.
Dalia was perfect to be the victim because Adrisha is her maid and she also had a bad relationship with ldon.
Of course, Hikan won’t stay still if she gets involved.
Then this will beco a battle between the transcendents.
Even by just imagining it, it seed that Dalia would likely die from stress.
‘Is this the only way?’
Dalia looked down at her hand.
‘Hu……I tried not to use this power until just before the end of the world……’
Dalia quickly changed her thoughts because she thought her hands and feet would beco squid while trying to set the mood for no reason. (t/n: probably a slang but I can’t find the exact aning for that..maybe ans weak or cold or sothing..)
Naturally, she didn’t plan to be caught by ldon like a fool.
If Dalia is really going to purify ldon’s soul, she should do it secretly so that she doesn’t get caught.
‘Let’s wait for a chance.’
“The festival will start soon, right?”
Adrisha nodded and took Dalia’s handbag then pulled out her rabbit mask.
“Please wear this. Let’s go to the festival together.”
“Would you be able to go?”
“Of course. Because I promised Dalia.”
Dalia thought for a while then nodded her head.
Looking at Adrisha’s condition, she thought it would be better to just go ho, but when you’re depressed, it’s better to go out and play.
Besides, it was her most anticipated festival, so she wanted to be a little greedy.
She wanted to try dancing with strangers wearing a mask, and she wanted to watch the amazing parade.
“Oh, but I must have lost that mask.”
Adrisha said in a hurry while looking through her bag again after leaving the store.
“Since it’s a festival, I think they’ll sell it everywhere..….”
“Yes. I’ll be right back. Do you want to co with ?”
“No, go ahead.”
Adrisha nodded, but she looked a little anxious.
“That, just in case, make sure to bring what the Second Prince gave you.”
Dalia tilted her head and realized a mont later.
Ah, that quartz piece with the stun magic for self-defense. She brought it with her but forgot about it.
‘I should have knocked ldon out earlier……’
Regret belatedly poured in, but it was already too late.
While Adrisha rushed to another store, Dalia was standing alone fiddling with the quartz piece given by Cedric.
It was a transparent color. There was nothing special on the surface, but it was fascinating.
‘I am very grateful to Sir Cedric for many things.’
And then.
“Now you’re finally alone.”
A very villain-like line was heard from behind her.
“Wh, wh, what!”
Dalia looked back in surprise.
Standing there…… was ldon.
‘Why are you here again?’
Dalia couldn’t figure out why he ca to et her instead of leaving.
But even before Dalia could raise a legitimate question, the quartz piece broke in her surprised hand.
It felt like cold sweat was running down her back.
‘I’m, I’m dood.’
Is this the right way to use it?
Only then did she have an ominous feeling. If Dalia is the one who faints instead of ldon, there is nothing as foolish as this.
However she couldn’t reverse what she had already done, so she held out her hand containing the broken quartz pieces in front of ldon.
He stared at the pieces of quartz with a puzzled expression, and then leaned back against the wall with a resigned expression as if he had identified the identity of the pieces.
“Why on earth……?”
She didn’t do that on purpose either…….
However, ldon couldn’t utter the rest of the words, slipped on his back, and fell asleep with his head down as if he were sitting in an alley.
……He looked like a fighter who died from a fight.
Dalia looked at him with a sense of guilt.
‘So what were you trying to say?’
But there was no ti to wake him up and listen to the story.
This was the roadside. The people passing by were looking this way in surprise. Besides, Adrisha will be back soon.
‘Adrisha will be distraught again when she sees him.’
Based on the extrely reasonable reasoning, Dalia dragged ldon’s collar and pulled him into the nearby alley, and she hid in the alley for a while. It was less than 10 ters away, but she almost died of exhaustion. He was really damn heavy.
‘Why are you here?’
Fortunately, even 20 minutes of mories will be gone, so he won’t even rember the fact that he t Dalia.
‘Should I purify him now?’
After thinking about it carefully, it seed like a good idea.
The fact that the ldon route was hard was also due to the fact that his soul was corrupted by magic from the beginning of the route.
Hikan was worried about Dalia, but ldon won’t even rember eting her anyway. Cedric’s quartz piece would definitely wipe away his mories about her.
Dalia looked down at ldon with a completely different feeling than before.
‘This is quite good?’
Isn’t this a great opportunity to never get caught and even crush ldon’s route flag?
‘If I’m going to do it, let’s do it before Adrisha cos.’
Dalia hurriedly took off the ring the Emperor gave her from her hand. She was a little nervous, but she lowered her head and quickly placed her hands on ldon’s exposed neck.
Seeing him sleeping helplessly, she felt a little revengeful.
Why does she have to worry about this because of him?
She pressed hard on ldon’s neck and contributed to his neck disc 10 years later.
After a while, Dalia hurriedly removed her hand and straightened her back.
Since the level of purification was not clearly visible, she had no idea how long it would take to remove it.
But Adrisha will soon find Dalia.
‘I’m sure it’s purified enough by now, right?’
His mory is gone, so he doesn’t know who did it.
Dalia put on her ring again. And she looked down at ldon. Sohow, his sleeping face looked more peaceful and gentle than before.
‘With this, I hope you reconciled quickly.’
Or you can forget about Adrisha and leave Vesta. That would be the best.
Dalia put her hands together and prayed earnestly for ldon. For about 10 seconds.
‘First, I should run away before he wakes up.’
Dalia hurriedly left the place.
* * *
After a while, ldon wakes up.
‘Why am I lying down in this dirty alley?’
He couldn’t rember a thing.
Obviously, he…… what did he co to do again?
He shook his head and as he stood up, he noticed sothing strange.
His body feels unusually light and refreshing. His head is not heavy, his fatigue is gone, and above all.
The dirty and stinky feelings that always annoyed him, the indescribable betrayal and anger he felt when he t Adrisha before, didn’t make his heart beat as intensely as before.
For so reason, he felt strange as if one of the main parts of the cogwheel was missing.
At that mont, a boy as translucent as a hologram appeared in front of his eyes. He said with a smile.
-Did you do everything as ordered?
