No. Staying in a hot spring for a few days to relieve the fatigue of my body wouldn’t be bad either.
“Hmm”
A song naturally flowed out as I imagined a happy future.
That’s how I took a dreamlike rest in the mansion for several days.
I ate all kinds of delicacies at every meal and slept until the sun was high in the sky.
There was nothing as happy as doing nothing.
‘This is great. This is truly a paradise on earth.’
A deep satisfaction welled up inside me.
Yes, upon reflection, there was nothing wrong with the start.
That was until today.
The problem surfaced not long after.
“Has Miss Tanashia become a bit strange?”
“Indeed, she seemed out of her mind when she asked to steal Miss Noxia’s dress, and she’s become stranger since she woke up from the horse riding accident.”
“Oh, did you hear about it? There are ominous rumors that human weapons are being developed in the Kalrua Empire…”
I noticed the maids talking through the movement of their lips, but I didn’t care much. They would have to get used to this new me.
However, there was something that caught my attention in the idle chatter of the maids passing by.
‘Kalrua Empire?’
I felt like I had forgotten something important.
I couldn’t let it go as the feeling of almost remembering continued.
I approached the maids. They flinched as if pricked, perhaps because they had seen me upset a moment ago.
“Repeat what you said earlier.”
“The, the thing we were talking about just now…”
“The rumor about the Kalrua Empire.”
Only then did the maids’ complexions brighten up a little. They seemed to have noticed that I was not trying to scold them.
“Recently, there have been rumors that the Kalrua Empire is developing human weapons. Apparently, there have been more disappearances this year than last, and they say all of them have been taken by the Kalrua Empire.”
The maid standing next to her quickly picked up the story.
“Miss, don’t pay attention to such nonsense. Our Arwen Empire and the Kalrua Empire have been longstanding allies. Why would they do such a thing? This is just a false rumor someone spread.”
“Indeed, it’s a very unbelievable story.”
I had to hold my breath.
Unfortunately, I knew this rumor to be true.
Oh my God!
Only then did I remember the plot I had forgotten.
In the progression of the novel ‘Beloved Saint’, there was a fact that a war would break out with the Kalrua Empire.
The problem was…
That Tanashia dies after losing the war.
“No!”
It felt like my happy everyday life was disappearing like a mirage.
It was only natural that the Brelof family fell into ruin since the country was destroyed.
Tanashia, who had been wreaking havoc in the novel, met an unexpected end. She was beheaded by the enemy general who led the Kalrua Empire to victory in the war.
Even though she committed many misdeeds, she was a member of the Brelof family, so she could avoid severe punishment. But after the country and the family fell, she could not receive any protection.
“Oh, Miss, what’s the matter?”
My sudden outcry startled the maids, and they stared at me with wide eyes.
‘…I’m in trouble.’
The fact that a war will happen in the future not only meant that I was moving away from the life I wanted, but also…
This signified my impending death.
The Emperor of Kahlua had long held the ambition to expand his territory, and for this purpose, he secretly developed forbidden human weaponry.
In fact, a few years from now, these human weapons would appear and ruthlessly trample the Arwen Empire.
I couldn’t stand idly by.
It was too unfair to die at an early age in this life as in the last.
I had to figure out a way to avoid the death route.
‘Let’s calm down. I still have time.’
I wracked my brain, thinking hard about the character who killed Tanashia.
The culprit was none other than Askan, the final villain in the novel .
Initially, he was simply a sacrifice for the development of human weapons, but having survived all sorts of experiments, he became a monster, the strongest in the world who could wield both sword and magic.
With a brilliant mind, the abilities to back it up, and ruthlessness, Askan was an immense villain in the novel .
Did my desperation get through?
I could recall a part briefly describing Askan’s past in the novel.
“Askan had escaped the human weapon laboratory of the Kahlua Empire at the age of 15. Because of his shabby appearance, he was mistaken for a slave and sold to a noble family of the Arwen Empire…”
Yes, Askan had indeed escaped the lab and made his way to the Arwen Empire.
There was a line about how his unpleasant memories from that time made him even more relentless when invading the Arwen Empire.
My mind spun quickly.
Tanashia and Askan were the same age, so if he was 15, it must be this year.
“Where is the slave market in the capital?”
“Eh? The slave market?”
“Yes. I need to go there right away.”
“Oh, if that’s the case…”
The maid hadn’t finished speaking.
Screech─
A boy appeared as the bathroom door, which I thought was empty, opened.
From his ragged clothes alone, I could guess he was a slave working for the Brelopf family.
The boy bowed to me and spoke in an emotionless voice.
“I’ve prepared your bath as you wished.”
He too had black hair like me. But it felt darker and deeper.
His expressionless face was directed towards the floor, but from his highbridged nose and straight forehead alone, I could tell his appearance was quite superior.
Moreover, the boy had a striking resemblance to someone I had seen in .
I noticed ancient letters tattooed on the boy’s neck, hidden by his shirt collar. Those were forcibly marked on test subjects in the Kahlua Empire.
“No, could it be…”
I hurriedly covered my trembling lips with my hand.
I might have screamed in surprise if I had been a little late.
As I stared at the boy with disbelief, he looked at me with deep golden eyes that seemed confused.
I felt a chill thinking about the future when his eyes would be filled with hatred.
I stifled my surprise and opened my mouth as casually as possible.
“I don’t remember seeing you before. When did you come to our house?”
“Do you not recognize my face?”
There was definitely no change in the boy’s expression. But strangely, it felt colder than a moment ago, as if it was stifled.
‘What’s going on? Do we already know each other?’
I swallowed dryly. I didn’t know what was happening, but I decided to skip the introduction and ask what I was most curious about.
“…What’s your name?”
The boy stared at me silently for a moment. Then, he whispered his answer.
“Askan. I’m Askan.”
The moment I heard the answer, I felt a heavy blow, as if I had been hit on the head with a hammer.
It seems…
The final villain of the novel, Askan, was mistaken for a slave and sold right here in our house.
‘Wait, wait!’
What on earth is happening?
There was no such thing in the original work!
