Tension mounted on the pallid face of Erich.
“Are you doing this because of the few words I just said?”
“No, it’s not that.”
“Then what is not?!”
Erich snapped. He seemed to realize something and hastily added a word.
“I think I spoke wrong. So please come down quickly.”
No matter how I look at it, the reaction was a bit strange. Was something happening outside?
‘Did he think I was in danger?’
But that was a bit odd.
This window wasn’t of the sort to fall out just by slipping a bit.
I looked down once again in case I misunderstood something about the window sill.
The moment I thought it looked a bit far down, Erich shouted ‘Now!’ again. Startled by his voice, I was about to fall even more.
‘But why is Erich worried about my safety?’
From Erich’s point of view, shouldn’t he be hoping that I fall and die here? He could easily take care of his enemy.
‘Does he want to kill me more painfully?’
That reason was definitely possible.
Given the situation, I asked him while finishing wiping away my tears.
“Why?”
“Why, what are you talking about?”
“Isn’t it what you wished for?”
Then, Erich’s bluegrey eyes became emptily quiet.
“Because… I can’t just let you die easily, even though that’s the case.”
I knew I was right!
Erich’s bluegrey eyes, staring at me still standing on the window sill, were shaking constantly. Looking closely, even his clenched fist was trembling.
Apparently, he was very angry to save a child like me.
“That’s why I told you not to try to escape like this.”
A final irritable word. There was no reason to stand by the window now that I confirmed his intention.
I slowly came down from the window. As I did, Erich, watching me descend, seemed to sit down as if his legs had lost strength.
‘Why on earth is he doing that?’
While Erich was distracted, I swiftly grabbed the magic book I had put aside and moved outside. Then Erich called me without even turning his head.
“You.”
Now he doesn’t even call me young lady. My body tensed in fear of having the magic book I held taken away.
“If I hadn’t stopped you, would you really have fallen?”
“No.”
“Do you expect me to believe that?”
Indeed, trust is so important among people. Even if I were to speak honestly, it seemed he wouldn’t believe me a bit.
“Then do you have a reason not to believe?”
As I was about to ignore him and walk away, I glimpsed Erich’s hand. It looked like he was clenching it so hard that blood might come out.
‘Sigh.’
Leaving a person shocked and frightened wasn’t a decent thing to do. I calmly said to Erich.
“What’s the point of thinking about what didn’t happen?”
“…”
“Reality is as it is.”
After telling him that I’m still alive contrary to his delusion, I hugged the book and scurried away.
Fortunately, Erich didn’t notice that I had snatched the magic book.
[Star Icon][Star Icon][Star Icon]Erich recognized her at first glance.
‘Estelle Libertan.’
It wasn’t just because of the sweet color like a newly bloomed flower bud.
Estelle exuded an elegant and lovable aura, like a lady who grew up in a rich family.
“Nice to meet you, Viscount of Blonu.”
The detestable Libertan.
Erich had wanted to avenge the Libertans, who had overthrown his loyal family, killed his parents, and left an indelible burn.
After all, the Viscount of Blonu had been a vassal taking care of the Libertan’s dirty work, so they had to pay for losing their vassal.
Erich felt that a suitable price was the death of his cherished adopted daughter.
“Oh, I came to find a book to spend some time.”
Erich, as an aide, had to perfectly carry out the orders of his master Johan. However, looking at Estelle’s plain face, he couldn’t control the anger welling up inside him.
‘Even if it’s for revenge.’
He didn’t like the fact that he had to leave her at ease.
“Yes. Everyone’s very kind and nice, even though I haven’t been here long.”
So he looked at the woman with eyes full of enmity and sneered.
“This isn’t Libertan. This is not a place where you can carelessly roam about while laughing, ma’am. I wish you would keep that in mind.”
The moment those words were heard, an already pale face turned even paler. A face that looked like it could collapse at any moment. It felt somewhat eerie.
“I understand.”
Estelle didn’t cry, even with a face about to collapse.
“I’m sorry for casually coming into the library. Maybe I forgot about my situation because I was too excited.”
No matter how much he insulted and belittled her, Estelle didn’t get angry at Erich. Rather, she seemed accustomed to such insults.
“I guess it’s my fault for not living up to the Baron’s expectations as a hostess.”
The more Erich conversed with the pitiful Estelle, the more he felt like the perpetrator.
Why was that?
The only vividly colored blue eyes harbored an odd sorrow and were shimmering.
“But there’s nothing I can do besides apologize.”
In the end, Erich couldn’t bear it and ran away. But even after he ran away, Erich couldn’t easily regain his composure.
It wasn’t about running away.
