“Emergency treatment has been done, so you should go to a nearby village for a detailed treatment.”
“It’s, it’s fine. This much treatment is enough…….”
“I’m not okay.”
She really was fine….
Irene glanced at the wound that was thickly smeared with medicine.
Compared to what she had suffered from that man, this wound was nothing.
“You must be tired, get some sleep.”
Irene shook her head. Although she had previously fallen asleep unknowingly because she was too tired, this time was different.
She wasn’t that exhausted, and above all, she didn’t want to fall asleep defenselessly in front of the beast.
“Sleep.”
However, when Carlos insisted on his opinion this time, Irene had no choice but to lie down on the carriage seat.
As he covered her with his coat like a blanket, a distinct body odor wafted around. She couldn’t describe it, but somehow it opened up her stifling chest.
Carlos was afraid of it, but he liked his own smell. It was quite ironic.
……Well, it wasn’t as scary as when they first met.
When Irene stared wideeyed, Carlos furrowed his eyebrows.
“I told you to sleep, why aren’t you sleeping?”
At that, Irene quickly closed her eyes.
She thought she wouldn’t fall asleep, but drowsiness came to her so much that the thought seemed ridiculous. Her consciousness gradually drifted away.
“I’ll wake you when we arrive.”
A faint voice permeated her fading consciousness.
Halfasleep, Irene unintentionally blurted out the question she had been holding.
“Will you……kill me?”
There was no answer in return, but Irene didn’t care.
A more accurate expression would be that she couldn’t bother.
She had asked unconsciously.
So she wasn’t even aware that she had asked such a question and plunged into deep sleep.
“……Perhaps.”
So, unfortunately, or fortunately, she didn’t hear Carlos’s belated answer.
[Star Icon]Dewey, who had gone in a different direction from Carlos, returned about two hours later.
Carlos, sensing his arrival, looked at Irene’s face, who was fast asleep, and got off the carriage.
Dewey came up to him and bowed.
“I apologize.”
It was an apology with much meaning.
Carlos nodded as if he had already suspected.
“The nimble one might have already returned to the underworld after only releasing the minions.”
The world was divided into the celestial realm, human realm, and underworld, where the underworld was commonly feared by humans as a place teeming with monsters.
Carlos was the lord of the northern territory of the underworld, divided into four parts, and Dewey was his loyal servant and resident of the underworld.
“Shall we send a pursuit team?”
As he was about to nod, Carlos felt a murderous aura coming from the forest and looked that way. Deep darkness swirled in his purple eyes.
Dewey also felt the aura and looked in the same direction as Carlos.
“It seems that some remnants remain. I will go and deal with them.”
“No. I will go myself.”
“There’s no need for you to…….”
Swish [dash].
“……do that.”
Before Dewey’s words were even finished, Carlos disappeared into the forest.
“Good grief, he sure is impatient.”
Dewey scratched his head, looking at the shadow left behind by Carlos.
The masterless shadow extended its shape, and as if to protect the carriage that Irene was in, it enveloped it.
“I’m sorry, but I cannot open the door until the Duke returns.”
Dewey continued.
“Perhaps knowing that you are anxious, he will return shortly. As soon as he returns, I will open it right away, so please wait a little.”
“……Alright.”
Irene wanted to leave immediately, but she decided to wait, thinking that forcing him wouldn’t make him open the door.
“Is there any problem?”
Dewey asked worriedly when Irene answered in a dead voice.
“There’s no particular problem… It’s just a little dark.”
“I see there’s no light inside the carriage. I should have prepared it earlier, I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay. You said you would open the door if I wait a little.”
Irene sent a signal that she wanted to leave quickly.
Dewey seemed to catch on, smiling.
“Yes. I will open it immediately when the Duke returns.”
“Where did he… go?”
“He has left his seat to check something.”
Check something? Irene suddenly thought of the strange rabbit that had attacked her. Was that rabbit a monster? Since it was her first time encountering a monster, she wasn’t sure.
“If it’s scary to stay still in a dark place, I will be your conversation partner until the Duke returns.”
“Thank you.”
“Thank you? I’m just doing what I should do.”
Dewey’s voice sounded louder, whether he had come closer to the carriage, or he spoke louder.
“What should we talk about? Ah, should I tell you about the Esper estate where you will be living?”
At the word “living,” Irene’s heart throbbed, and she clasped her hands to her chest.
“Alright.”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
Short intro:

At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
