While Dabin was thinking of a good way, she heard from one of the knights about “hypnosis.”
It was a story about the knight's sister who was constantly crying after her lover left her, but she improved after her memories were arranged through hypnosis.
Normally, Dabin would have ordered the knight to run a hundred laps around the field instead of saying such nonsense, but that day was different.
After knowing the location of the hypnotist, she almost kidnapped him and brought him in front of Kai, despite his claim that he was busy.
When Lloyd heard the news, he stormed into Kay's room, denouncing the idea of hypnosis.
Because of Lloyd's terrifying aura, the hypnotist trembled and couldn't utter a single word, but ran away before he started.
Dabin quarreled with Lloyd because of this, which led to the palace being damaged and in need of restoration.
As for Lloyd, he went to Geronia County and made a secret deal to buy a noble title for Kai.
His assistant advised him that money and prestige are the ultimate goal of human beings, and her mood will certainly improve.
Thus, Kai became a family name, “Geronia.”
But when Lloyd joyfully brought the nobility papers along with foods from her hometown, Kai burst into tears as soon as she heard the word Geronia.
You didn't even look at the content of the papers.
Dabin laughed at her brother's insensitivity, while Lloyd returned and dumped stacks of papers and overtime on the "bachelor" assistant who had given him such unsuccessful advice.
When the butler saw these actions, he advised the twins to leave her alone for a few days.
The twins responded to the old man's advice and things calmed down for a while.
On the second day of Kay's stay alone, when Dabin heard from the maid that she had not eaten anything yet, she opened the door forcefully.
“Kai, wake up... oh?”
The dark room was filled with sunlight now.
Kay was standing in front of the open window, receiving the light.
“Dabin, good morning.”
Her hair was blowing in the breeze and shining under the sun.
Kai smiled brightly and greeted Dabin.
“Are you okay?”
Although her body and thinness indicated that she was not well, Kay smiled and said that she had overcome the matter.
“Thank you for letting me stay here, Dabin.”
“Oh, no need to thank you.”
Dabin scratched her head in confusion.
Kay looked at her and said:
“I'm planning to work at the Imperial Healers Center in the capital. I'm completely broke, so I should work, right? Hee hee. As soon as I find a job.” .”
Dabin stopped when she heard that.
Dabin thought: I don't know if Lloyd will let you go. .
Dabin remembered the wedding magazines spread out on Lloyd's desk.
“Oh, and also, there's a place I want to visit. Can we go?”
A little while later, a carriage stopped in front of Hilderius Palace.
Dabin, Lloyd, and Kay, who were wearing black mourning clothes, got into the carriage.
Dabin was upset by Lloyd's presence.
It was her chance to be alone with Kai, but this insensitive brother followed them around, claiming to be free.
But Lloyd brought with him a stack of papers and began working inside the cart.
“You said you were free! So what are these papers?”
Dabin said complainingly.
“This is a free time for me. I will finish shortly.”
“Yes, yes, as you say.”
There was silence for a while.
Lloyd looked out of the corner of his eye at Kay, who was watching the road absently.
She looked pale and very thin in her black clothes.
He felt pain in his heart.
He wanted to tell her that she was not alone, and that he would be by her side, and would even be her new family.
So, Lloyd brought all this work just to wait for the right moment to confess.
Lloyd thought: If it weren't for this annoying sister, I would have said that a long time ago.
Lloyd looked angrily at Dabin, and she looked back defiantly.
While the twins were engaged in a battle of glances, the carriage stopped at the public cemetery of the Temple of Tirena.
When they got off, a terrified priest ran towards them after seeing the crest of the Hilderius family.
They followed the priest, who was constantly bowing, until they came in front of a grave with a white headstone.
“I will leave now.”
The priest bowed and then left.
Kay looked at the grave absently and placed chrysanthemums in front of it.
Tears fell from her eyes again, even though she cried a lot at home.
The last conversation with the Messenger never left her mind.
Those reprimands she hated are a thing of the past.
That handsome man with flowers is no longer there.
“O Messenger, this… this…”
Kay knelt on the ground and covered her face with her hands as she cried.
Lloyd patted her trembling shoulder.
On the way back, Kay remained silent.
Dabin could not bear this gloomy atmosphere, so she said:
“I have something I want to show you at home!”
Kay raised her face, red from crying.
“Wait and you will see.”
Dabin smiled, and Lloyd felt suddenly worried.
When they arrived, Dabin took Kai and Lloyd to the Knights Building.
She called one of the knights and whispered in his ear. The knight’s face turned pale, he saluted, and then left.
After a short while, the knight returned with a terrifying face, carrying a small cardboard box, as if there was something frightening inside it.
“I'll...I'll go now! I have work.”
He put the box down with trembling fingers and quickly ran away as soon as Dabin allowed him.
Kay thought with fear: What is inside this box?
“I've heard that pets are best for psychological stability.”
Dabin was smiling happily, but Kay felt worried.
Dabin opened the box.
There was…
“King, king.”
“Oh my God!”
“Nice, isn't it?”
Inside the box, there was a small puppy with thick black fur looking at Kai.
Dabin picked up the trembling puppy.
Kay thought: How cute!
Two drooping black ears, wide eyes, and a small tail!
“His mother left him. I was afraid he would die, so I brought him. Do you want to carry him?”
Kay felt sad for the abandoned puppy.
When she took him from Dabin, the puppy threw himself in her arms, trembling.
“King! King!”
The trembling puppy coughed, but with each cough, a small flame came out of his mouth.
"Oh...did I imagine that? He's breathing fire now."
A light smell of sulfur arose from the puppy.
“Does that make sense?”
Lloyd quickly pulled the puppy from Kai's lap and examined it, then shouted at Dabin:
“Dabin! Have you lost your mind? Why did you bring the Hellhound!”
The dog of hell? That monster with fire coming out of its eyes and mouth?
Kai knows that it is a high-ranking monster that exists in the demon world, and that many fear it.
“Oh, shut up! Why are you screaming like that and hurting my little puppy’s ears?”
Dabin simply took the monster from Lloyd and held him to her chest.
“This little one’s magic energy is weak, so his mother left him. Other monsters would have eaten him, but I felt that Kay would love him. His name is ‘Rouba’,” “Ha ha ha ha.”
Dabin stroked Rupa’s head as she laughed.
The veins on Lloyd's forehead bulged out of anger.
“Dabin, this is not a puppy, it is a beast! Bring him back immediately.”
“Ah, but he looks like a puppy. What's the problem?”
The twins started exchanging deadly glances.
At that moment, Roba's eyes met Kai's.
The puppy shivered more every time Dabin touched him or Lloyd screamed.
Kay realized why: he was shivering from fear of Dabin and Lloyd, not from the cold!
It's a situation of a first-level monster facing off against higher-level monsters.
Kay sighed and took the puppy from their hands.
“So, let's go in? It looks like there's going to be a fight here soon.”
Kay left the twins fighting and went to her room with Rupa.
Shortly after, sounds of explosions and the destruction of buildings rang out.
It seems that the conflict was violent this time, because the Knights Building remained under restoration for a long period.
