What was more surprising than the quarrel of the two brothers with different opinions was the reaction of the butler.
This is small, usually it is worse.
The coldness of the butler's nerves and his behavior as if the matter was normal was the most frightening.
How do the employees work here in a place like this?
It seems they have to work while risking their lives.
The butler opened his mouth and was watching me intently, as if surprised:
“Mr. Lloyd… he placed a ‘reverse protection’ charm on you, Ms. Kay.”
“Ah… yes. That’s why the two of them were fighting. Anyway, how did you know that the spell was placed on me?”
“Despite my modest skill, I learned magic in my youth. I am a wizard of the Fourth Circle.”
With such skill, you could have been a wizard in the royal court and live a comfortable life. You suffered a lot while taking care of these two brothers in the Hilderius family.
While I was marveling at the old butler's abilities, I was curious as to what kind of protection magic Lloyd had cast.
“Reverse protection magic is a magic that makes Mr. Lloyd take, in your place, all physical or magical damage that exceeds a certain limit. The greater the damage inflicted on you, the double the damage that Mr. Lloyd receives, and since the executor may die if things go wrong, it is a magic that is only used to protect someone you ransomed.” “With your life, from the Lorengel Ring to the Reverse Protection Charm...it seems that Mr. Lloyd truly cherishes you.”
The butler finished his speech while wiping away the tears that gathered in the corners of his eyes.
How crazy! This means that if someone hits me, all the pain will go to Lloyd.
I think I know now why Dabin attacked me earlier.
I did it because Lloyd was the one who would take the damage.
But why would Lloyd do all this?
Is he really afraid that Dabin will kill me?
A strange ring that shocks the heart if I move a certain distance away, and now it places this enormous magic on me.
I could not understand his interest in me, and I was the one who was classified as an evil woman.
“Mr. Lloyd has grown so old that this old man can now die without regret.”
I ignored the old butler's sudden drama, and turned my gaze to the two "super" brothers as they were destroying the house in front of me.
Now the room has become so worn out that iron structures appear.
“Lloyddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd.”
At that moment, a deep ringing sound was heard coming from the depths of the building inside my head.
“Oh… what is this?”
“It will be over soon.”
It seemed that the butler also heard the voice, so he took out a pocket watch and muttered:
“It seems like it will be over quickly today.”
Goo goo goo!
With a loud shaking sound, the building shook even more violently.
And again the quiet, resonant voice was heard inside my head:
“Are you fighting again?”
With the second sound, the brothers stopped fighting.
Due to the constant shaking, the door that was swinging turned into dust and smoke.
“I have often warned you that brothers should not quarrel…”
The duke's wife emerged from the thick smoke with anger on her face.
Suddenly, the faces of the two brothers who were fighting fiercely turned pale.
“Or...Mom...”
At that moment...
I saw that, I saw sparks of fire emanating from the hands of the duke's wife.
The Duke's wife disappeared in a flash and appeared next to the two brothers, then directed each of them with a strong punch precisely in the stomach area.
The two brothers flew into the air due to the blow and fell to the ground.
I never imagined that the duke's seemingly delicate wife would hide such extraordinary strength.
“Khhhhh!”
“Cough…!”
The two brothers stood coughing in pain, and in front of them stood the duke's wife with a frightening face.
"Wow, are you two adults fighting like this? Look around if you have a mind. What a sight! Dabin, Lloyd! They are banned from going out for a month. Stay in your rooms to review yourselves, except for official business."
Her appearance was exactly like a mother disciplining her children after resolving their dispute.
“Dabin was the one who started the attack.”
"Mom! Lloyd kicked me in the back!"
Even the sight of them exchanging accusations looked completely like children.
Is this the true face of siblings in reality?
"Shut up! Go to your rooms now!"
They left the shattered room under the pressure of the duke’s wife, exchanging sharp looks.
The Duke's wife shook her head at their behavior and then approached me.
“Kay, are you okay?”
Oh, my body is fine, but my psychology is definitely not fine.
“Because I gave birth to them after a difficult labor, I spoiled them a lot, so they are so impolite. But... thanks to Miss Kay’s presence, I feel that Lloyd has become more mature.”
“Yes… Did you say more mature? That look?”
I let out the astonishment that was in my heart, and the duke’s wife laughed brightly and replied:
“Before, an entire palace had almost disappeared. This development is considered a big leap. Thank you, Kay.”
They quarreled to the point where an entire palace disappeared? These brothers are monsters.
And this gentle, middle-aged woman who calmed them down with one fell swoop is also a monster in another sense.
An entire room was destroyed, yet you consider this a development and thank me!
The brothers' childhood was truly terrifying.
“Alfred, please organize the room. Kay, I will go in now. I have a lot to organize.”
As I watched the duke's wife walk carefully to avoid the wreckage, I thought:
My life among these monsters will definitely be full of thorns.
The next morning.
After eating breakfast, which the maid brought, I went out for a walk because of feeling upset.
While I was walking around the beautifully landscaped garden, large cracks in the palace caught my eye.
“Ha…hahaha.”
They smashed it wonderfully.
After a short while, carts loaded with bags appeared one after the other, and the workers began unloading the bags.
“They did it again today.”
“But the size is small this time, isn’t it?”
“Are they sick?”
I returned to my room listening to the workers talk.
These people, what kind of monsters are they?
I knew from the story that they smash rocks and trees, but I did not expect it to reach this extent.
I should never be rude to them.
I promised myself over and over again and headed towards the room.
When I climbed the stairs and reached the front of the room, I saw Lloyd.
It seemed that he was waiting for me, and as soon as he saw me, he approached with long steps.
“I've waited for you for a long time.”
Lloyd, walking towards me with his hair blowing in the wind, looked like a model on a runway.
A model with a perfect body and amazing handsomeness.
Mmm, his face suits my taste perfectly.
Since morning, my eyes have been enjoying his elegant appearance in his uniform.
Despite the disaster he caused yesterday with Dabin, there was not a single scratch on his face.
While I was looking at his face in amazement, his face turned red when my eyes met his.
Oh, what's there?
Lloyd approached me and surprisingly presented me with an elegantly wrapped gift box.
“This is a gift.”
Is today a special occasion?
Since I don't refuse gifts, I took the box from him without hesitation.
“You can open it.”
When I opened the box, there was a necklace studded with a beautifully carved red stone.
At first glance, he tells you: “I am nothing ordinary.”
“It's 'Terena's Tears'.”
I froze when I heard his words.
“This…isn’t it a temple treasure?”
Terina's tears.
I will summarize the stories regarding its origins and what I read in the ancient books in the temple. The only reason this thing is important is its price.
A price that could buy an entire kingdom.
This stone was located in the crypt of Asinta, which was destroyed by Hilderius’ brothers a while ago.
He lifted the necklace and put it around my neck while saying:
“Once upon a time, when Rua fell, the earth god Terena, who loved her so much, cried. Those tears are this stone and it is called the ‘Tears of the God’.”
The stone around my neck shone dazzlingly.
The price of an entire kingdom...
For the first time in my life, I feel the prestige of something at this price, to the point that my neck feels humble.
“I will be busy with work for a while and we will not see each other much. Remember me whenever you see this necklace.”
I blushed at Lloyd's romantic words.
At that moment, I felt a nice, warm heat on my forehead.
A kiss.
“Oh...what?”
When I regained consciousness from the feel of warm lips, Lloyd had already disappeared.
All that was left were “Terena’s tears” shining on my neck.
Unbelievable... Did you fall in love with me?
I should have known since he kidnapped me and said he would take responsibility, asking me to take responsibility for his first night and talking about marriage.
The power of the Evil Woman's skill: Temptation was astonishing.
Even Lloyd fell into the trap.
Although I am a reincarnation from another world, my body is already the body of an evil woman.
For the hero who represents justice to fall in love with an evil woman with whom he spent only one night!
It's a skill that shatters logic.
I shouted internally to the author:
Hey, distribute the programming points correctly!
Shortly after Lloyd left, Dabin came.
She was wearing glasses and shaking her short, messy black hair, as if she was playing the role of a teacher.
Her long legs fit elegantly into the pants she was wearing.
When I read the novel, I imagined Dabin, the heroine of the story, as a delicate miss with long hair, a soft face, and wearing dresses.
Even the cover of the novel was like that.
But the Dabin I met in reality was quite the opposite.
Her charming and beautiful face was as I imagined, but her tall stature and muscular body exuded a prestige that made you feel that one hit from her would quickly send you to the afterlife.
Well, it doesn't make sense for the “Sword Lady” who destroys palaces to have a weak body.
This is very logical.
I shook my head as I looked at the book she was holding in her hand.
Dabin's hands were holding a stack of books that seemed very heavy, but her steps were light, as if she were carrying feathers.
Dabin placed the books on the table at the side of the room forcefully.
Bam.
I felt the vibration of the heavy weight even here.
If it carries this weight as if it were cotton... how strong is it?
Dabin turned her gaze to me.
After looking at my face with a frightening expression, her gaze suddenly turned downward.
Her facial expression gradually hardened, and she seemed to see the “Terena Tears” that Lloyd hung around my neck.
A treasure that has an imaginary price.
