The shrunken arms felt as if touching a corpse. The trembling eyes visibly indicated a poor state of health.
Sure enough, she, wearing a muffler, soon lost consciousness and collapsed.
“Hey! Are you okay?”
At that moment, the muffler covering her face slipped off.
“!”
Artia’s eyes widened. It was because the face was somewhat familiar.
‘No…’
As her face was completely revealed, Artia recognized who she was.
‘Countess Harald?’
It was unavoidable not to be surprised.
Unlike when seen at the banquet, she had a somewhat dusky complexion.
At a glance, she seemed unwell.
‘Why is this person here…?’
Kasus approached to help the fallen person and bent down.
“A person has fainted.”
However, Kasus also recognized her face and showed a surprised expression.
“Who is this woman…?”
“Countess Harald.”
“Why did this woman come here?”
“I don’t know.”
Artia and Kasus looked at Countess Harald’s bracelet.
If she wore a gym bracelet, it meant she was a member.
“It’s strange. She wasn’t on the membership list.”
“Maybe she stole it.”
“…Ah.”
If it was Countess Harald, there was a good chance.
“Anyway, what’s wrong with her?”
Kasus asked, looking at Countess Harald’s pale face.
“I don’t know.”
Artia looked around the gym. The attention of the people who were exercising was focused on them.
Although an unwelcome guest, since someone had collapsed right in front of her, she had to do something.
Artia decided to call a doctor to examine Countess Harald’s condition.
“We should call a doctor.”
“How was her condition just before collapsing?”
The doctor asked Artia, looking down at Countess Harald lying on the bed in a small room inside the gym.
“I touched her briefly, and her skin felt like ice. Her eye area trembled, and she had a convulsion before losing consciousness.”
“….”
Examining Countess Harald’s pale and withered body with a lack of vitality, the doctor frowned.
Having realized that her condition was not good, the doctor told Artia about Countess Harald, who had lost consciousness.
“Excuse me, but I’ll take off her clothes.”
To make an accurate diagnosis, the doctor gently lowered the clothes Countess Harald was wearing, and Artia noticed a black snake pattern near her heart.
“Hmm…? What’s this?”
The doctor raised an eyebrow and examined the picture more closely.
“A black snake? Did you get a tattoo or something…?”
Drawing on the body of a noblewoman was uncommon. The doctor made an expression of uncertainty, but Artia was different.
‘No, that’s…’
The black snake pattern was a mark often seen on those who used dark magic.
According to information Kasus obtained through various inquiries about dark magic, the location of manifestation varied for each user, but it rarely appeared in cases where dark magic was used.
In such cases, the picture was relatively faint.
However, the unfolded scene before their eyes was too vivid.
Artia, momentarily surprised, reached out to touch the drawing engraved on Countess Harald’s body.
At that moment, Countess Harald’s skin swelled up reddishly, as if it were responding vigorously.
“Siiik!”
“!”
The doctor, too, was astonished, his mouth agape.
“What on earth is this…”
Whether it was because Artia touched her or not, a moan escaped from the unconscious Countess Harald’s mouth.
“Uh, ah…!”
The countess still had her eyes closed but twisted her body as if experiencing a dreadful nightmare, contorting her face and shouting.
“Everyone must die! Anyone who covets my husband must die by my hands!”
The doctor and Kasus grabbed Countess Harald’s thrashing limbs.
If the two hadn’t restrained her, she might have fallen under the bed.
‘Husband…? Is she talking about Count Harald Sphen?’
“Everyone must die!!”
When Artia was startled and let go of her hand from the drawing, Countess Harald, who had been gnashing her teeth just a moment ago, suddenly shed tears and appealed emotionally.
“Huk… I was wrong. I didn’t use dark magic… I didn’t know my body would end up like this.”
The doctor, Kasus, and Artia couldn’t help but be astonished.
“Is she claiming to have used dark magic now?”
The doctor, still holding her limbs, asked.
To him, Countess Harald seemed to be dominated by something powerful.
“I don’t know. We’ll have to talk to her in detail once she wakes up.”
Artia murmured, biting her lips while trying to calm her mind.
This was truly irrefutable evidence.
‘Finally found it. Indeed, this person was the culprit…’
Although there had been suspicions that she belonged to the Count Harald family, with evidence emerging like this, Artia couldn’t help but laugh bitterly.
“I’ll kill her. This woman is indeed the culprit.”
Kasus, holding onto Countess’s limbs, glared sharply, putting strength into his eyes.
“No. Stop it.”
Artia grabbed Kasus’s arm, who had lost his composure.
“We need to be more careful. There may be many hidden actions. It’s not too late to do something after she wakes up.”
Only then did Kasus regain his composure and loosened his grip.
