Chapter 13: 13

1. I Will Refrain From the Death Penalty

Episode 13

“It’s a temporary closure until we finish packing up, so go and sleep.”

Leniel pushed me back into the room and shut the door before I even knew where this place was and the internal structure of the store. I was trapped in a bedroom, and I stood in front of the door, then gave up.

‘What kind of power does an apprentice worker have? If your boss is resting, you should rest.’

The room was just the right size for a single person. On the contrary, it seemed to be much better than the room I had been in before. I wanted to take a closer look at the room I moved into, but when I sat on the bed, all those desires disappeared. Limbs naturally spread out on the bed.

Only then did I admit it.

‘I must have been really tired.’

The real tension was finally released, and the tiredness that had been neglected engulfed my whole body. I was in a rush to follow the events that swirled so quickly, and it was only when I was left alone in a safe place that I realized my condition, which I was unaware of.

I was probably pretty scared.

I clenched my fists as I looked at my trembling fingertips. I’ve almost died so many times, but it’s the first time I’ve felt it being so realistic like this. Because of the fact that it is in a novel or the fact that even if I eat poison, I will not die.  the surrounding environment that I was comfortable with suddenly felt unfamiliar.

“Fool.”

It’s okay, because I survived. It’s enough to forget my situation and not be vigilant once, so don’t act so defenseless in the future.

I made a firm resolve and buried my face in the blanket. I have to wash and change clothes, but I don’t have the motivation to do anything right now. My head became hazy and sleep quickly pressed me down.

The last thought I had at the end of the fading consciousness was not to get away from Leniel.

It would be the best way to save my life by just thinking of it as a lifelong job.

“What’s going on? I can’t believe he suddenly appeared there.”

“Did you find out?”

“Yes, he’s not dead.”

Leniel, who nervously swept his bangs, glanced at the sweat drops on his palm. The red eyes shone coolly.

“He’s a tough guy, so it’s natural that he’s not dead.”

Leniel, who sat as if throwing himself on the sofa, tilted his head back.

Vadro, an assistant to Leniel, who was standing across from him, carefully examined his condition. Glittering silver was seen from the roots of the disorganized black hair. Vadro asked with a dark face.

“Are you okay?”

He couldn’t believe his hair color changed. Of course, it means that the sudden large-scale warp was a big burden for Leniel as well. Usually, he would use aids to replenish mana or call other wizards.

Vadro looked back on what he had recognized.

Originally, according to Dylan’s schedule, he should have returned to the territory. But somehow he remained in the city, and even found out the location of Leniel’s general store.

From Vadro’s point of view, of course, he had no choice but to doubt a spy. While he was trying to gauge where the information might have leaked in his head, Leniel ordered in an annoying voice.

“Get everyone out of town today. Say that if even one person is caught, they will be killed immediately.”

“Yes.”

Vadro immediately bowed down. Leniel, who had opened his eyes tightly, lifted his head and turned to look back at the person standing. It was a silver-haired man with a cape with colorful embroidery.

“Wayne, go to Barryfin. If you hold a few meetings right now, even that bastard will be able to come. I need to turn his attention.”

“Yes.”

After answering in a thick, harsh voice, he immediately turned around. Vadro also retreated once.

First of all, he needed to find the spy quickly.

“By the way, Leniel.”

Vadro, who wanted to go out with Wayne, suddenly stopped and looked at him hesitantly. Then he cautiously raised the question.

“Isn’t that the woman you brought, Giselle Roycevin? Why did you bring her?”

Wasn’t Leniel the one who went to see Giselle Roycevin while she was in prison with his own poison? She is a woman who is so cunning that she sacrificed a warlock, so Vadro didn’t know what kind of whim Leniel had to bring her alive when he said that he had to deal with her himself.

‘Was Giselle Roycevin’s magic really successful? So, to use her as a test subject…?’

If that magic was really successful, it would be enough to understand Leniel’s judgment. The Fall of the Stars is a ritual with such a slim chance of success that even warlocks are ridiculed for being absurd.

If that successful work of magic exists, then all the wizards in the world will turn on their eyes and rush to study.

Vadro was thinking deeply, and Leniel suddenly answered.

“She’s an employee.”

“What?”

“She was hired.”

“Hired…”

Vadro’s face as he pondered the word “hired” was still full of confusion. Leniel knew the question he was thinking, but had no intention of answering it. He used his magic to the extent that his hair color changed slightly, so everything was cumbersome and exhausting.

“Yes. Get used to it. She’s weak and scared.”

Giselle Roycevin? Weak and scared? That girl?

Vadro showed it on his face as if he had no intention of hiding his thoughts.

It wasn’t that he didn’t understand why he was so surprised. Giselle Roycevin was a villain who was blinded by a man and persecuted and killed people by drawing on the power of her family.

A woman who tried to gain strength by sacrificing the life of a black wizard due to the lack of innocent victims killed by her. She was a rare villain known to have escaped prison by surviving like a cockroach even after everything failed.

If he took her to the street right away, there would be dozens of men who would run with a sword and say that they would kill her.

“Giselle Roycevin has already been wanted across the country. It would be more troublesome to have her with you.”

If it weren’t for the success, would there be no purpose in keeping her?

At Vadro’s words, Leniel smiled unexpectedly.

“She’s going to protect my life, so I’m going to cherish her too.

“That girl?”

Leniel gave him answers, but Vadro raised his voice without realizing it. However, immediately after seeing Leniel’s brow furrowed, he quickly added more words.

“Alright.”

Leniel waved his hand as if to get out. In the end, the question was not resolved at all, and he turned around. Just as he was about to leave, Leniel, who was lying on the sofa with his eyes closed, exclaimed in a light tone.

“Ah, the probationary period is one month. She’s nicknamed Mad Giselle, so call her that. She will love it.”

Vadro felt like he didn’t understand the language.

***

He knew what Vadro was thinking without even asking.

Leniel himself was surprised by his whims, so others will be shocked too.

He had been lying on the sofa for a while even after Vadro had left, and he slowly got up. This was his mansion, and it was a safe place where he could rest right now if he wanted to.

But instead of going to the bedroom, he stepped outside. The place where his steps were headed was the wine cellar.

Of course, he didn’t go out for a leisurely drink of wine. A butterfly flapping its wings in the deepest part of the wine cellar found Leniel and flew.

“Is the kid sleeping?”

[Yes, it fell asleep!]

“So there’s no tension.”

Leniel, whipped his fingertips, completely forgetting the words that told him to rest. The hidden warp gate was revealed. It was a temporary gate that was hastily connected by two working monsters.

Normally, he would have done the warp without any of these things, but he had no choice but to fine-tune his magic power.

As he strode past the gate, the scenery around him quickly changed. Leniel soon entered the store, a mess of things.

He made a way by shoving the box to the side with his toe, and he reached a room inside the store.

The door was not locked separately. The front door and windows of the store were locked well, but she should be more careful. Leniel, who frowned at the easily opened door, looked inside the room.

Giselle collapsed on the bed, sleeping as if dead. He told the butterflies that if he hadn’t heard of her condition, he would have suspected that she had been raided.

“Giselle.”

Naturally, she didn’t hear Leniel’s low call. With a hand in his pocket, he stood by the doorway.

“Giselle Roycevin has already been wanted across the country. It would be more troublesome to have her with you.”

Without the worrisome Vadro’s remarks, he would well have foreseen the nuisances she would go through.

Giselle is nationally famous for being wanted. Even if it wasn’t Dylan, there were so many people that hated her, and she was so weak that he immediately wondered if she could survive for three days if she went out on her own.

[Lord, shall we stay here and protect it?]

Butterflies flew around Leniel. After thinking for a moment, he nodded his head.

Maintaining the monsters means that the mana is continuously consumed. It was not a good choice in the current situation. However, she is in an unstable state right now because she is directly at the store, so he had no choice.

“Until she wakes up.”

For now, he’ll just have to continue using his mana for the butterflies.

[Is it okay if I don’t let her die as you ordered before?]

“Yes.”

Even as he gave his orders, Leniel himself still didn’t understand. Why doesn’t he want to let this woman die?

So far, he’s been avoiding collisions with Dylan as much as possible. This time, Giselle was caught by Dylan. Is her life worth that much?

It was a question that could not be answered no matter how much he thought about it. He eventually pushed back his troubling thoughts and made his way to bed.

He laid Giselle upright and covered her with a duvet, and looked at her sleeping face.

“I’ll find out if I leave it alone.”

There’s nothing he can do. Since he still doesn’t know yet, he had no choice but to keep watching her by his side.
