I Became the Younger Sister of a Regretful Obsessive Male Lead - Chapter 75

Chapter 75

“What?”

“There were rumors that you struggled to pay off your debt. It’s said that the reason why you were so close with the Lord of the Leon family was because you sold your body to pay off the debts. In addition…”

Elliot, who was talking while fiddling with his fingertips, suddenly raised his eyes. The bright purple eyes filled with murderous energy.

“I heard that you are also friendly with Lady Leon. I heard she was going to come to the funeral?”

Contrary to his bloody eyes, Elliot’s tone was infinitely light.

“I’ve seen a man who killed his parents to live, though I’ve never seen a man who took advantage of the funeral of his father who was still alive.”

Kylus felt that even if he had done something wrong, he had made a firm mistake. Perhaps, the Lady of the Leon family should not have been touched but kept away. Even if he regretted it now, it was already too late, so he wanted to get out of the current situation.

“I… I’m a pathological liar. There are times when I just want to make up a lie without realizing it. Sorry. it’s all lies.”

He was playing around with his opponent.

At a glance, Kylus knew that Elliot was not an ordinary man.

The intuition he had accumulated during his knighthood did not disappear just because he died. He carried a sword and picked out whom to avoid. Among them, the only person to avoid was the one with eyes like this.

Should he call it madness…?

But, whoever had those eyes was the Royal Family? Then, if he laid flat and apologized, would he survive?

As if he liked Kylus’s attitude, Elliot gave a hmm sound.

“I thought you were ignorant, but you were more conscious than expected… Perhaps, you’re smarter than I thought?”

Elliot recalled Noah’s figure that he had seen normally.

The Noah he saw just looked fragile. When he heard the comments of his followers who loved men as a hobby or vaguely beautiful things, he looked like a bunch of flowers. Although now that he saw it, it was not like that.

Maybe, he could be used as a hand?

In fact, it was a bit impulsive. He heard a strange rumor by accident.

There were rumors that the little girl was the fiancée of that weak-looking guy. Even at a time when the rumors had just circulated, he was quite angry. He was angry with the little girl for ignoring his own proposal, though he was most angry with the guy who looked at others’ things carelessly.

So, he was looking for this guy without thinking, and as soon as he found it, he came to him.

It had been a long time since he felt this impulsive. It felt similar to when he was clearing out the lowlife scums when he was a kid.

His mouth was dry at the urge to kill them all without hesitation. The spirit of darkness ate even the dark side of its contractor without hesitation.

Elliot licked his lips, feeling the rush of cheering at the negative emotions welling up within him.

“Do you want to live?”

“…Yes.”

“I like being honest. I like how you look today more than you usually do.”

“I’m grateful.”

Kylus trembled at the horrifying sensation. He didn’t know what was holding him down so much.

With an unknown force, he bowed his head even more in a cold sweat. When the host’s body died, he would wander again. Though he wandered aimlessly, he would always remain in the same place with the same appearance. Even if close to a thousand years pass.

“Hey. I just got something for you to do. Would you like to hear it?”

With a drowsy gesture, Elliot spoke out.

Kylus knew that whatever it was, he had to complete it in order to survive. Then, Elliot opened his mouth as he stared down at Noah, who was almost stuck to the floor, and nodded his head.

“We need to find Count Erland first. Can you do it?”

I was on my way out of the office and heading to my room. Since Lucian had to talk to his new assistant about work, so I had to walk alone after a long time.

No, maybe it was a bit too much?

After calling him by his nickname, Lucian stayed with me and did not leave. I knew he liked me and I liked him as well so I didn’t take it too seriously. But, maybe he was a little too dependent…?

Now that I was thinking of this, I certainly don’t seem to be normal.

“It’s nice to be with him.”

As I went down the stairs while muttering to myself, Oscar and Damian appeared.

“Master! Let’s go hunting after a long time!”

“Hunting”

“It’s not so much fun for the two of us to train. After all, the master’s was not there, so it was no fun at all.”

I burst into laughter as Oscar jumped up and whispered next to me.

How long will this cute fox be cute? I was already in trouble because he looked cute even though he was an adult. Thinking that, I thought it would be very sad if he left after saying that he had found his mate.

“Is that so? I don’t think I can do it for long.”

“Tsk, aren’t you just hanging out with Master’s older brother these days? It’s not even the ones you’ve been mating with.”

“What?”

Why was mating suddenly appearing…?

“There is such a thing as being obsessed with the person you spend the night with.”

“…Why is there such a thing?”

“Because they sowed the seeds. Since they planted the seeds on the female, they instinctively want to keep her by their side—to protect.”

As I walked into my room, I was startled and stopped my steps. I was a little too hot.

After all, to say things like this in broad daylight…

Damian, seeing my bewildered appearance, quietly warned Oscar.

“Do not use explicit language. Because he is human, she won’t understand our ecological instincts.”

…You have some ecological instincts, too, Damian.

Ignoring the uninspiring conversations, I moved on again.

“Wait here for a second.”

“Yes, Master.”

“Okay, Master.”

When I entered the room, Amber was coming out of my dressing room.

“Oh my, Lady?”

“Amber, would you get me some comfortable clothes?”

“Yes. Wait a minute!”

Perhaps, she was organizing the dressing room. Amber hurriedly put down the dress she was holding and went back into the dressing room.

“Is that the dress I wore on the debut?”

Amber replied in the dressing room to my words.

“The Lord asked to take care of it separately.”

“Luci does?”

“Miss.”

Amber, who had just come with the clothes, called me, sharpening her eyes.

“…Why?”

It had been a while since I’d seen Amber like that, so I noticed it automatically.

“He will soon be crowned Duke, so what if you call him by that name?”

“Well… But, that’s what brother tells me to call him.”

“You still have to be careful.”

“I see.”

“Yes, well thought. Everyone has soft corners for you, so you’ll be fine. However, be especially careful with other nobles!”

“Ah, yes.”

“Come on, come this way.”

With Amber’s help, I changed from a dress to a riding suit.

“Then, I’ll be right what.”

I completely forgot why Lucian was looking for the dress and headed to the back mountain with Oscar and Demian. It had been a long time since I’d been hunting, so I called Cassandra after a very long time.

— Cassandra.

— ….

No, do ghosts get sulky…?

— Who says who is sulking?

— You’re not?

— Didn’t I tell you not to talk so casually!

— You said I am not your descendant. So, why do I have to be respectful?

— This… this…

Oh, I shouldn’t keep making fun of her? I have to ask her, anyway

— Don’t play like last time and show your skills properly.

— Hng.

— Sometimes, you say you want to show off your skills.

I couldn’t be the only one who suffered every day. There were days like this, weren’t there?

Although I didn’t know if the facts about the possessor were real or not, I thought I’d use this ghost to dig out the truth.

— To say that only a deer came out of my magic skills…

— I have a question, are you so good at magic?

I could feel my provocation working and Cassandra going wild. My head would hurt when she yelled usually, but now, I was strong enough to surpass that level.

Oscar and Damian grabbed me as I held my forehead.

— At that time, there was no magician better than me! Performing illusions is impossible without excellent control. Don’t you dare doubt my abilities if you don’t even know properly…!

— Isn’t it obvious that I don’t know? I’ve never seen an illusionist, except for you.

— Hng, then just be still.

— I’m just curious. How many illusionists were there at the time? You’re the best? Really? Is it true…? You’re not lying because I didn’t know that time?

— This, this…

— You just need to explain.

Coaxing while taunting, I was not sure if this woman would come over. Still, I waited for an answer.

— …At the time, it wasn’t just magic. It was a time when divine power existed, so there were various talents.

Somehow, Cassandra had a tone of nostalgia.

— What is your strength?

It was not that I, who had read various web novels and webtoons, didn’t know the word divine power, but it was unfamiliar to me in this world because there was no temple here.

Just as expected, Cassandra said the same thing.

— The power used by the priests belonging to the temple was called divine power. They were given the power directly by God.

— The temple…

— Yes. Among them, the person with the most outstanding divine power was not a high priest but a saint.

— A saint?

Isn’t this a bit surprising?
