Chapter 28: 28

Killian seemed to have come running. His hair was stuck to his forehead, and he looked a bit desperate. His eyes were bloodshot, contrasting with his golden pupils… Still. He looks good.

Looking closely at the diary in my hand, it was clear that it’s the one I had written. Weirdly enough, the spell on it was still preserved.

Most of all, I saw several patterns made of gold leaf on the black cover. This gold leaf pattern was a kind of magic. It was hung so that others could not see it. So it was where the magic came from.

First of all, it was amazing to restore it, but I thought it was also amazing that the magic was removed enough to see the contents inside. The magic in this diary. The lord of the magic tower gave it to me.

But why did he put it here? Come to think of it, when I came to see Duke Percival, the room I was in was empty. And maybe if it’s been empty for a very long time.

Did he hide it here because it would be an unexpected space to hide the diary? But if so, isn’t it normal that he should have cleaned it up before I woke up?

“I told you to put it down.”

 

“Why?”

I was going to put it down, but I didn’t want to put it down because Kylian spoke in an intimidating voice. More than anything, this is mine. I don’t have to listen to someone asking for my own diary. Even if he thinks of me as Lilith now, he doesn’t own this diary.

He needs a key to open the door. In order to prevent jailbreak, there will be a spell that will send the person away if they break the glass or break the door unless they open it with the right key.

There was something strangely satisfying about him staring impatiently through the glass wall. To be honest, I felt a bit unfair by what I had been through.

He stomped on Lilith’s necklace, smashed it, pushed me, drew his knife and tried to kill me, and threatened to excommunicate Phileal for me.

I was obviously willing to give in at first. I’ve already seen it anyway, so I wondered if it mattered whether I gave it to him or not. But, perhaps because of the many things that happened to me after coming here, a feeling of resentment came up in my throat and made me look childish.

Wanting to tease him, I placed the book on my finger and turned it round and round. It was one of my favorite tricks. It didn’t just spin around. I turned it to the right, turned it to the left, opened it, closed it, opened it, and retracted it.

“Hahaha. This, I can burn it right? Or I can tear it apart.”

“Are you crazy?”

“You always ask me if I’m crazy, so now I might actually go crazy.”

“…….”

I opened the book and moved it fluttering as if I was really about to tear it. Then, Kylian banged the glass wall until it made a noise, but I wasn’t afraid at all because I knew it wouldn’t break.

“Your Majesty, if you keep acting so terribly, I might accidentally tear this!”

“Put it down now!”

But why did he come alone? It may be that he came alone because he was in a hurry. Even so, he did like to go alone.

“This is Lady Anais’ diary. Why did you put this here?”

“…….”

“Are you not going to answer me?”

He stared at me, so I moved closer to the glass wall. Then I picked up the paper with my fingers to tear it up a little.

“I hid it here because it was precious. I didn’t intend to put anyone in this prison.”

I listened to him and looked around me. The tabletop, sofa, and bed were completely new, as if he was really planning to put no one in. I saw a wooden chair, which seemed to smell like fresh paint.

“Aren’t you too lax? And it took me quite a while to wake up, so shouldn’t you have taken it away before then.”

“It wasn’t there at the time. I put it somewhere else.”

“So, you move it every day, was it here on purpose today?”

“Not every day. It’s once a week.”

It felt like the tide of battle had turned. That’s why he should have bothered people moderately.

“Your Majesty.”

“…….”

“You don’t answer again. My hands are very slippery right now, will it be okay?”

“…Alright. I am listening.”

He glared at me with an angry look, but my stomach was rumbling and I felt like I was about to collapse at any moment. But there was still a wall of glass guarding this place, and as far as I know it took a wizard to force open the door without a key. It would probably take a few more minutes to get there.

“What do you think I will do with this diary?”

“…Don’t tear it.”

“Is that the attitude of asking for something?”

If you tell me not to do it, I want to do it even more. Besides, Kylian was an unscrupulous person who stole other people’s diaries. Isn’t it normal to not think about getting it again after getting this far?

Maybe if I go back to being the real Anais, he might be nice to me again. Looking at the attitude he showed to the fake now.

“…Please.”

At that, I dropped the book without realizing it.

“HEY!”

“Ah, that, I’m, I’m, I’m sorry, sorry… I’m sorry.”

Startled, I picked up the book and turned around. Oddly enough, my heart was pounding and it was difficult to breathe.

Why was I like this? Is it an arrhythmia again? At that moment, several footsteps were heard outside.

“Your Majesty!”

“Open it up quickly.”

I watched blankly as the knights unlocked the door with the key and rushed in.

“Are you going to give it when I’m still nice or should I use force?”

“I’m a good listener.”

He tried to open the door on the glass wall, so I pushed the diary into the space that was made for food distribution. Then he quickly backed away.

“Excuse me, Your Majesty.”

“…What?”

I thought I wouldn’t look back, but unexpectedly, I looked back and the words came out.

“Get me out of here.”

“… Are you crazy? Didn’t you just try to tear up my wife’s diary?”

 

Still, the conversation wasn’t hopeless. More than anything else, if Kylian is the one I know, he will remain the same no matter how bad he turns.

“Shall we compete?”

“…….”

“If I win in the spar, take me out.”

“It’s been less than 30 minutes since you got in, you want to come out already?”

The eyes were clearly loosened for a moment again, but when I retrieved the diary, it turned blue again. It was clear that he had already seen all of my diaries. That’s why he wants to depend on me.

“Oh, I see. Is Your Majesty afraid that you will lose in a fight with me who can’t even wield a sword properly?”

“…….”

“I don’t know why Lady Anais married Your Majesty. Maybe she will regret it?”

“What did you say?”

“You heard it. Why are you pretending not to hear it?”

I laughed provocatively, and I saw him coolly sinking. That’s what happens when Kylian gets really angry. When he’s annoyed, the anger is quickly released. He was really angry when his voice went down like that without a word or expression.

“Let’s spar. Us.”

“Leave out the word ‘us’. I don’t want to get involved with you.”

“Your Majesty and I.”

“Are you saying you can’t stand being in there for one week?”

“No. Coming out is normal, I want to bet on something else.”

“…….”

Kylian is a sword master. But I’ve never lost to him in sparring. Because he looked after me. But that didn’t make me weak either. Of course, it was in my original body. Even if I fought with my current body, it was clear that I would not be able to last even a minute.

One minute is a long time. If I’m unlucky, it could be over in 10 seconds.

“Are you crazy about wanting to die?”

“I don’t want to die. Let’s make a bet.”

“…Do you think I will accept it?”

Even though he said he didn’t want to, his body was already twisted this way. Suddenly, I met Duke Percival’s eyes, who was looking at me with interest. If he was my father, he might recognize me. The original Lilith had a timid yet caring personality.

She was the complete opposite of me.

“If I win, please give me all three diaries.”

“…….”

“Instead, if Your Majesty wins, you can treat me as a reservoir of divine power.”

“…….”

I was already being treated as a divine power battery, but it didn’t matter.

“With just that…”

“If you don’t like it, I won’t see you again, Your Majesty.”

“…….”

“Forever.”

He looked at me with eyes that seemed to be testing me.

“Can you swear by the name of the goddess?”

I wasn’t a proper believer, so I didn’t get punished for selling out the goddess. So I answered without hesitation.

“Yes.”

When I said that, he smiled with his lips twisting as if he was having fun.

“Great.”

He gave a chin gesture to the captain of the guard who was right behind him, and he looked at me and opened the door on the glass wall.

I went in and left in less than an hour.

“Change the conditions.”

“Why all of a sudden?”

As I walked out the door, my heart skipped a beat when I saw him staring at me with his arms crossed. It still seemed to be because of his beautiful appearance.

“If I win, you will forever have to dedicate your divine power to my wife’s health.”

“Yes, I will.”

He chuckled and took off his glove and threw it at me. Accepting it, I said.

“Let’s do it now.”

“Good.”

The meaning of throwing a glove is to challenge a duel. It was clear that he really thought I was crazy.

But what can I do? I was confident that I would never lose.

 

As Kylian strode toward the training ground, I was making a plan in my head.
