‘……Isn’t it a person with the power of the stars? Duke Serdiya could have come too.’
[What do you think of me? Can’t I tell that? It’s not some residue of power in the blood of the ability users. One of them came directly to the human world. Damn, which one of the four?]Pythons wrung its head.
He could feel the energy of the stars, but he couldn’t tell whose energy it was.
With Lertium moving like this, that fool would still be asleep.
[If it’s really one of those guys, you need to find out how they woke up.]‘Why?’
[Because it means they figured out how to awaken the star’s slumber.]‘Awaken the stars?’
[No.]
Pythons shook his head.
[They must not wake up.]With an angry tone, the conversation was cut short as a new fork appeared.
The wide street that had been running along so far, and a small alley next to it.
‘Which way?’
Riche, who had stopped to catch his breath, asked Pythons.
But Pythons couldn’t pinpoint the direction.
[The energy suddenly cut off.]Did you notice? That shouldn’t be the case.
Detecting other stars was his unique authority among the tomb administrators.
Pythons looked alternately at the fork and Riche and then spoke.
[Hey. Contractor. It seems like I can’t use my abilities properly in the human world. So, lend me your strength and you try.]‘Me?’
Riche looked at Pythons on his shoulder in surprise.
[There’s nothing to be afraid of. I’ll send the type and strength of the ability you’ll use. You just have to be willing.]‘Willing?’
[Yes. Look around, thinking you’ll find the star. You’ll feel something.]At Pythons’ words, Riche looked around.
Then suddenly, he darted into the alley.
‘It’s there!’
[What?! You found it already?! You, you, ……you’re a genius! Contractor!]Pythons cheered.
The squirrel’s black eyes sparkled, and its fur puffed up.
Then the moment he turned a new corner in the alley.
Pythons, who had been rubbing its cheek against Riche’s cheek, lost its enthusiasm.
[……It’s not a star?]“I found Trapet. I heard a wolf’s howl.”
Riche whispered, hidden on the other side of the corner.
Well, yeah. He found it well.
With a suddenly deflated eye, Pythons peeped over the corner with Riche.
Two large wolves and three people.
Trapet, who was unconscious, was carried on the back of the largest wolf.
[Looks like they plan to move by carriage?]Pythons spoke, looking at the carriage parked in front of them.
Just then, the coachman got down and began talking to one of the men.
Riche’s eyes confirmed the empty carriage.
‘Shouldn’t we stop them from taking her?’
[How will you go out? How are you planning to do it? You’re just a 7yearold child.]
At Pythons’ words, Liche flinched. It was true.
‘But still…….’
Should I just watch Trapat being kidnapped like this?
Trapat was Ludwick’s person. I couldn’t ignore her, who had gleamed her eyes, saying she would live for Blake.
‘…So what should I do?’
[Why are you worrying so much?]‘Uh?’
Pythons’ voice that flowed into my head was very mischievous.
As if to say that what he said earlier was just to tease Liche.
[Have you already forgotten? I told you. There’s nothing my contractor can’t do.]‘Can you save Trapat?’
[Of course.]
Pythons confidently pointed to the carriage.
[The sensation you had when finding the star, remember? I’ll lend you my power this time too.]‘What are you going to do?’
It wouldn’t be to find the star by looking at the carriage.
Pythons answered Liche’s question.
[First, let’s blow up the carriage wheel. When chaos ensues, seize the opportunity to rescue that woman.]Whether to rescue Trapat or not. Pythons thought the rest inwardly.
It didn’t matter whether he saved her or not, but the fact that his contractor was incompetent would hurt his pride.
Pythons tried to send just enough energy to Liche to blow up the wheel.
[Do it now.]
Liche looked at the wheel, imagining it blowing up.
[Contractor, wait a moment!]Suddenly, Pythons’ urgent shout resonated in Liche’s mind.
Kwaang!
With a loud noise, grey smoke burst forth.
After the smoke somewhat subsided, what was visible was the carriage disappeared by the explosion and the ground left scorched.
Hiing[Dash]!
The two horses, disconnected from the carriage, started tearing the streets, lifting their front hooves in shock at the explosion.
“…….”
Liche and Pythons’ eyes widened at the scene they had caused.
“That fool…….”
The power he intended to give to Liche was a weak force, just enough to blow up the carriage wheel.
But Liche used more power than he had intended.
The being who had control over the power of the stars.
‘What exactly did you revert to the past?’
Pythons mumbled, unable to close his gaping mouth like a squirrel with a dislocated jaw.
“What have I made a contract with……?”
(This is a time divider.)
Meanwhile, Liche and Pythons weren’t the only ones surprised by the carriage explosion.
The Ludwick family’s escort, hiding behind nearby structures, quietly watching the situation.
Unlike ordinary Ludwick family knights, they were specially trained forces.
Their role was mainly to follow the master like shadows, guarding as if they were not there.
Today, they were ordered by Blake to guard Liche[Dash].
‘A bomb?’
‘An enemy of Serdiya?’
Liche, who had been running down the street alone after leaving the dressing room, had arrived where the kidnapped Trapat was. And then the exploded carriage.
The escorts exchanged glances at the sudden situation.
Should they reveal themselves and protect the master, Liche, in this emergency situation?
‘Shall we go out?’
‘Not yet.’
The problem was that this emergency was tailored to Ludwick’s level.
The captain, Shoga, shook his head briefly in response to his subordinate’s glance.
It’s not a lifethreatening situation, so it’s not an emergency.
Moreover, you’re well hidden around the corner. Serdiya hasn’t discovered Miss, either.
If they came out now, they would have to hear a piece of Blake’s or Deon’s mind about not making a fuss.
“What’s going on!”
“A raid? Are these Trapat’s minions!”
In the sudden situation, the coachman fled, and the three Serdiya men drew their swords, looking around and yelling.
The two large wolves also growled, baring their teeth.
The keensmelling wolves sniffed Liche’s scent hidden around the corner.
“Kru[Dash].”
At that moment, the front paw that was about to step in that direction stopped in midair.
A cold wind blew. Everything that had been on the street froze stiff.
The two galloping horses, the fleeing coachman, the three men of Serdiya, and the two large wolves.
A boy walked over the frozen road.
Skyblue hair with blue eyes, a boy resembling a refreshing lake in midsummer.
“…….”
It was when Robenhalf’s hand was reaching towards the wolf on the still unfrozen trapet.
“St, stop it!”
A girl’s voice heard from some distance away.
Robenhalf stopped his hand.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
