No matter how I looked at it, it seemed that Dabin was falling into Iotias' trap.
Iotias took out a stack of papers and a pen from his space and held it out towards Dabin.
“You have the power too, miss. The Magic Tower is going through difficult times these days. Please take care of us.”
Dabin looked at the papers and at me alternately, then gritted her teeth and signed the papers.
After that, she looked at Iotias with a murderous look and said in a low voice:
“Get out of my face.”
There was no trace of love or admiration on Dabin's face as she looked at him.
It was the same with Iotias, who was smiling brightly as he watched her.
No, this is not what I was hoping for.
I wanted to see romantic moments between them...!
There were no feelings of any kind, there was only one person who had made a profitable deal, and another was forced to accept it bitterly.
Iotias folded the papers and put them in his robe, then he looked at me suddenly and smiled gently.
“I enjoyed seeing the meteor summon. It was a moving sight. Thanks to you, I made a good deal. Thank you.”
“Go away, we're busy.”
Dabin growled.
But Iotias ignored it briskly, approached me, and knelt down.
Suddenly, he took my hand and planted a kiss on it and said:
“Nice to meet you, lady. My name is Iotias.”
I felt a strange, sticky texture, so I quickly withdrew my hand.
“Ah, yes. I...”
"No, no! You don't have to tell this man your name. Go away at once, Iotias."
Oh my God, aren't there feelings of love between them?
Farewell to the duo (Dabin and Jotias). Goodbye to my expectations.
Iotias raised his shoulders at Dabin's words, and a purple magic circle began to appear under his feet.
“Then, I'll ask about the name next time, lady.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he winked at me and then disappeared completely.
“Kay, don't talk to that man. He's crazy and imbecile.”
Dabin snapped her fingers in anger.
“And also”
Her gaze was directed towards me.
When I saw her bright human eyes, I felt afraid.
"You! Don't ever become a witch. Just be a healer!"
“But...!”
“There is no ‘but’. Be a healer for world peace!”
I felt unfair.
Wasn't it Dabin who tempted me to leave my studies in medicine to teach me magic? Moreover, what I really want to learn is not the dangerous fireball, but…
“So, can you just teach me Space Magic?”
The magic of space was what I really needed! Such as the tools window in games.
“Do you want to get stuck between time and space and disappear? No! Be a healer!”
Dabin was firm.
Since I was guilty of summoning the meteorite, all I had to do was silence.
After returning to the library and hearing Dabin's scolding for an additional hour, I finally returned to my room to rest thanks to Roopa who was suffering from hunger.
I flopped on the couch wondering about that meteor I had summoned.
And at that moment.
“Finally, I will be able to ask you about your name.”
I heard a familiar voice in the room where there was only me and Roba.
I raised my head in panic and found Iotias standing in front of me.
“Oh…?”
He approached with long steps, then knelt down at my feet.
“To greet you again, lady.”
I don't know why, but I felt a strong desire in his eyes as he looked at me.
His light violet hair is waving as he looks at me.
“My name is Iotias, head of the Mage Tower. What is the lady’s name?”
He suddenly grabbed my hand.
I felt the coldness of his touch, so I unconsciously told him my name:
“Kai...”
“Kay…Kay, it’s a beautiful name.”
He smiled gently and then kissed my hand.
I felt his breath touching my skin.
As for Roba, he was trembling next to me and trying to hide behind the sofa cushions.
"Where do you come from? How old are you? And what is your relationship with Dabin?"
Did you come to investigate my family?
He started asking questions without stopping while looking into my eyes.
I felt a suspicious energy creeping from the hand holding mine.
I withdrew my hand with difficulty, then embraced Roba, who was trembling in the corner of the sofa, and said to Iotias:
“Excuse me. I don't know how you got in here, but please come out. You may not enter a lady's room without permission.”
Iotias had a look of astonishment on his face for a moment, and then he began to laugh loudly.
Iotias rose up, his violet hair flowing beautifully, and kept laughing hard.
My heart was supposed to skip a beat at the laughter of a handsome man, but that laugh was terrifying and strange and made my body shiver.
Is he crazy to laugh like that after I asked him out?
I...I'm afraid!
“If you don’t come out, I will scream, ‘Please leave.’”
I tried to calm my trembling voice and said firmly, and Iotias' laughter suddenly stopped.
Then he brushed his hair back and looked at me with a strange smile.
He looked as beautiful as a model, but he had an uncomfortable feeling emanating from him.
“The Hilderius Palace was hiding a treasure. It is an honor to meet someone who is unaffected by my magic, just like the twins.”
What? Did he try to control me using the magic of seduction?
He's crazy.
Greatness and madness were evident on his smiling face.
“You are not registered in the Magic Tower, and yet you have a huge amount of mana. This is impressive. What do you think about joining the Magic Tower?” “Magic with me? You can live so richly, and attain a higher status than Dabin, even higher than the Emperor.”
Iotias' eyes sparkled with greed.
A higher status than the emperor? Is he planning a rebellion? Of course, I completely refuse.
My goal is to live a long time in good health and peace.
“I refuse. Leave immediately.”
As soon as I answered, Iotias smiled maliciously.
“There are not many people in the empire who rejected my offer and survived, so how will Lady Kay fare?”
At that moment, I saw a deadly look in his eyes.
When my eyes met his cold blue eyes, I remembered a truth I had forgotten.
In the novel, Jotias was a madman who was only kind to his wife, Dabin.
Iotias had no mercy on anyone but her.
He was mentally ill, no less dangerous than Eveliana.
Anyone who became an enemy of the Tower Master would live a miserable life or die a painful death.
When I thought about that, my body started trembling.
Iotias looked at me and smiled, saying:
“Kai, you are more innocent than I thought. Don’t look at me with those eyes, I don’t know what to do.”
What? What will he do? Will he kill me?
My heart began to beat rapidly because of the return of the specter of death.
At that moment, he suddenly disappeared.
“You smell good.”
I heard Iotias's voice close to my ears.
It seemed that he used the teleportation to stand behind the sofa and sniff my neck.
“Your mana, your energy, I like everything.”
A shiver ran through my body from his close breathing.
“I am the type of person who never lets go of something he wants.”
What? What does this mean?
At the moment I was shocked by his words.
I felt something wet touching my neck.
Wet? This man is crazy and a pervert too.
Dabin, it seems that the hero of this novel has gone crazy.
Your ex-fiancé is a complete pervert! He has lost his mind.
“Ahhh!”
I got up madly and screamed.
I saw in front of me on the table a book on teaching healing magic of the highest rank, fifty centimeters thick.
Beating is the only cure for this deviant.
“Take this!”
I shouted, grabbed the book, and swung it violently toward Iotias.
And at that moment.
"Kay! Are you okay?"
I heard Dabin's worried voice.
Suddenly, my vision blurred and everything went dark.
There was someone shaking my body violently.
“Wake up, Kai!”
I opened my eyes and found Dabin and Lloyd looking at me with concern.
“Here...oh?”
Just a moment ago I was preparing to hit that pervert in the face with the book, but now I am lying on the couch.
I sat down quickly.
“Dream...?”
Was it all a dream?
“Are you okay?”
Lloyd held my hand.
My hands were shaking violently.
“I came to bring food, but you didn't wake up no matter how hard I tried, and you seemed to be in pain, so I brought Mrs. and Mr. Are you okay?”
The maid asked anxiously.
I nodded stupidly and looked around.
There were only the maid, Dabin, Lloyd, and Roopa in the room.
Jotias had no effect.
“I'm fine. It was just a weird nightmare.”
I dare not say that I dreamed of Bootias
The dream was very strange.
I had a severe headache.
“I will rest a little and I will be fine.”
After the twins and the maid left, I lay on the bed and ignored the book of healing magic lying on the floor.
The corner of the book was completely broken.
I did not sleep well for fear that Iotias would return in my dream, but fortunately, I did not dream of him again that night.
I thought it was just a dream as a result of the shock from summoning the meteorite.
But it wasn't long until I realized that this was not a dream.
