The Lunatic Is Obsessed With Me(R-15) - Chapter 36
Louis answered all her questions as promised.
He answered them calmly, as if he was telling the truth, and Juliana blankly listened to him.
She was only speculating that he might have visited the Magic Arena before.
She thought it was a coincidence when she dreamed of that day when she had sprayed water on an audience member.
‘But is it really true…’
Juliana’s expression darkened.
“…..”
Her magic skills were so good that she graduated second in her academy.
But she only did it once.
She made a mistake that not even a beginner wizard would make.
That was when the magic competition was held.
‘I had a lot of worries.’
At the time, Juliana was in a constant state of tension. She needed to do well in her final duel to advance to the upper class.
But what could she do to end the tension?
3 years ago.
As Juliana rushed to the spectator whom she had sprayed… The man had already disappeared from his seat. He had already left.
Juliana felt sorry for not being able to apologize.
Now, it turned out that Louis was that person from that time.
Seeing how her relationship with him had been connected like this, perhaps life wasn’t really what it seemed. What kind of crazy wizard did he think she was?
Juliana’s thoughts led her to the masquerade ball when she first stopped him.
Louis.
Did he recognize her back then and accepted the one-night offer? If yes, why?
“……”
Juliana struggled to push her thoughts away, and tried to focus on Louis as he continued.
“I have no magic in my body.”
Her face hardened in shock at the words she had heard from him.
Louis said that he could not use magic.
He was immune to any magic and no treatment worked.
“But I can feel Julie’s magic.”
“No, that’s absurd…”
Juliana’s jaw was left hanging. All citizens of the Emmivelden Empire had innate magical powers.
But Louis didn’t have magic? Juliana had a bewildered expression .
“Juliana is my magic.”
“……!”
“Because Julie’s existence is magical.”
Louis smiled while Juliana glared at him because of his incomprehensible statement. He said that her magic was the only thing he could feel.
***
If you looked at the history of the Emmivelden Empire, it was founded 970 years ago, which was relatively long compared to other countries.
All the people who were born here had their own magical powers, and the only difference was whether it was a very small amount or not. Still, everyone was born with magical powers.
‘I can’t believe it.’
Juliana burst into laughter at what she had heard from Louis.
Magical power is inherent in the body of every person in the Emmivelden Empire.
If someone had above-average magical powers like Juliana, they could even choose to work as a wizard. Anyway, she couldn’t believe that Louis didn’t have any kind of magic.
“…I feel even more confused.”
He said that he was born without magical powers.
“…but you can feel my magic?”
Until now, because of the anti-magic, she had not been able to escape from the Grand Duke’s residence. Of course, when she later found out his identity, she had already been caught in Louis’ tricks and remained.
‘Because he said that once I remembered our meeting, he would answer my questions.’
Those words were so tempting, tch.
‘But my magic works on Louis?’
Juliana felt like she was falling into chaos.
“Then what about Al’s magic… the mansion’s anti-magic? How would you explain the collapse of the Grand Duke’s mansion?”
Juliana clearly saw it. The sight of the Grand Duke’s mansion as it burnt down and collapsed. Louis’ expression was still, despite Juliana’s quick-witted question.
“Julie. I’ve never felt magic all my life.”
“…!”
“I don’t have magic that other people feel in their bodies.” Louis looked at her softly and said.
He paused for a moment, then opened his lips to continue his explanation.
“However. Something has changed recently.”
“…What kind of change?”
“I can feel magic when I’m with Julie.”
Louis had a strange expression on his face. When he was next to the woman, he could smell a refreshing scent.
He thought it was simply her scent, but at some point Louis discovered that it was her magic. The scent of her magical powers, which he smelled for the first time, was appealing.
“…Only my magic works?”
Juliana’s pupils instantly widened at his confession. Louis was telling her that only her magic worked on him.
‘Why?’
She was a wizard herself and Louis did not possess magical powers.
What was the connection between the two?
Juliana tried to think calmly, working her already messy head.
“…No matter how much you think about it, there was no reason for that. So why?”
“It’s strange, isn’t it? I… It’s fascinating.”
Louis raised one corner of his lips and smiled an impeccably clear smile.
He had a happy expression on his face. There was genuine joy in the smile on his lips.
“Julie’s magic is so cold and cool.”
It was probably because she was an ice wizard herself.
“So I like it.”
Excited, Louis slowly narrowed his eyes to a half moon and brought his face closer. Juliana involuntarily swallowed her saliva at the sight of his beautiful looks from different angles.
‘Beauty is dangerous…’
“Do you know when all these changes happened?”
Juliana couldn’t guess and stayed silent. A few seconds passed like minutes. Louis smiled prettily and opened his lips.
“After spending the night with Julie.”
And when she finally got the answer, Juliana stiffened.
Oh my god.
Everything he was saying was shocking. It felt like a whirlwind had thrown her into an unfamiliar world.
‘It’s absurd…. Louis is not a wizard and I’m a wizard…Could it be that there was an unspoken adverse reaction because we’re the opposite of each other?”
Juliana’s mind was busy with so many thoughts. Her curiosity in search for answers soared regardless of the time and place. Louis slowly grabbed the back of Juliana’s hand.
“!!!”
“For me, it’s only through Julie’s magic.”
“Well, then, what about the anti-magic in the Grand Duke’s mansion? The Grand Duke burnt down, so why is it back to normal?”
“I don’t know that either.”
Louise whispered softly.
“By the way… did you just watch me fall out of the window?”
No way.
Was she truly nothing to Louis?
What happened to the times he pretended to be her friend and cherished her? Juliana paused her speech to catch her breath. Louise stared at her silently.
“That’s not true, Julie.”
“Then why…”
‘-did you just watch?’ She fell from the mansion. Didn’t she lose consciousness for three days because of it? Juliana’s belated rage broke out.
“Julie. Look at my face.”
“No, I don’t want to!”
Juliana turned her head to the side.
‘If I look at that face, I’m sure my heart will weaken again. Did you really think I would look!’
“Julie……”
Louis made a puzzled expression.
‘You’re very angry.’
His expression softened. She seemed so betrayed that the woman did not want to see his face.
Louis blamed himself and clenched his fists. But he could just tell her about it.
“Juliana. If I had known you were going to get hurt, I would have caught you.”
“……”
“I can’t use magic. Other people’s magic can’t affect me in any way.”
Louise didn’t have magic. No, to be precise, all types of magic was negated if it involved him. The same was true when the Grand Duke’s mansion collapsed.
That must have had something to do with it, because he was at the Grand Duke’s residence, when Louis opened his eyes, he was in an intact mansion. To a state prior to the explosion.
“…..”
Louis did not delve deeply into whether this was an ability or a curse. He just went with the flow.
So he didn’t mind the explosion, but he didn’t know that the woman would get hurt.
‘This is driving me crazy.’
Juliana wrapped her arms around her head. In the Emmivelden Empire, where everyone was born with magical powers, it was a great shock that Louis lacked magical powers.
‘Could it be acquired later?’ Juliana pondered.
“Really, you mean nothing but my magic works?”
“Yes, Julie.”
Louis spoke firmly without a single hesitation. Julie closed her eyes tightly at his answer that felt true.
‘I can’t believe it.’
This was an unexpected fact.
“Then, when the Grand Duke’s mansion collapsed… you didn’t know I was going to get hurt, did you?”
“……Yes.”
Louis gently lowered his eyebrows like it was telling her to trust him.
“Haha.”
She couldn’t even get angry about it. Juliana stifled a disappointed laugh.
The Grand Duke Louis’ soaking wet body. Perhaps not having magic had an effect on those around him.
‘Wait!’
She was stunned for a while.
Juliana calmly cleared her head and realized something.
Louis said he couldn’t use any magic, but maybe it was doing the opposite.
Except for his own magic.
‘… No other magic works.’
It was like a double-edged sword.
Just because one had magical powers didn’t mean that they could use magic. Those who only had a very small amount of magic couldn’t wield it.
If they were to put it that way, the Grand Duke would have an enormous amount of power and status.
There seemed to be no one who could be compared to Louis, who also had an overwhelming appearance.
As far as she knew, the Empire’s Lunatic, that is, Louis, had already surpassed the level of a swordmaster.
‘Then Louis, isn’t he the strongest in this world?’
As she thought about it, another thought immediately popped into her mind one after another.
‘…and am I higher than Louis?’
Louis could disarm all magic. And she was the only one whose magic worked on him.
This is really…
……driving me crazy.
“Did it really change after that day?”
“Yes, Julie.”
There are times when a person loses their cool, and Juliana, who looked at Louis who was speaking casually with a bored attitude, had the urge to hit him.
‘I can’t spend the night with him again, what should I do…….’
She really didn’t know why, but because of what happened that night, Louis was affected by her magic.
Juliana frowned and sighed.
