Chapter 70

Chapter 70. Between Love and Acting (8)

This means my uncle could be in danger.

I spoke seriously, ignoring his dry cough.

You may be taking poison. Is there anywhere uncomfortable? Youd better call a doctor.

Theres no need to do that. Anyways, I carefully inspect all the ingredients that come into the Fortress.

If poisoning was difficult, it would be assasination Its a relief that I came early.

Hmm.

My uncle cleared his throat one more time and said with an embarrassed look.

Weve never met before, even if were blood related

Because of my unfortunate growth background, I have a side effect of cherishing my family.

I looked at him and smiled in relief.

Its a relief that everythings fine so far.

What?

My uncle blew his nose and grumbled and added.

But I dont trust you yet. Even if you smile like that and worry about my safety.

I didnt mean to tell you to believe me

Weve never met before, and Ive been living thinking that my niece was dead!

My uncle shouted exaggeratedly and suddenly turned to Ian.

But you! You!

Then, he opened his eyes wide and yelled at Ian.

Get away from the one who I think is my niece! You said you were a fake couple!

My uncle glared so much that I quickly let go of Ians hand.

I couldnt believe why the story suddenly popped up like this.

You, according to my amazing feeling, I think youre a nerd whos good with the sword, but dont take this opportunity to flirt.

I could see why my uncle had been deceived by Lanella for over 30 years.

It was surprisingly not good. None of what my uncle said about Ian was consistent with the facts.

It was then.

Suddenly, the door opened and someone rushed in.

Lord! I found Lina!

A middle-aged woman dragged a young woman whose eyes were out-of-focus.

Oh my god, they accidentally discovered her in Arillas. But my childs condition is

A young woman called Lina muttered.

I have to go home. My husband is waiting.

What kind of husband? When did you get married? Hes the gangster in the back alley that you dumped before! You said you didnt even want to look at him, but why are you suddenly

Im married, mother. I have to live with him.

It was a scene where my heart broke just by looking at it.

A mother who didnt understand this situation at all and a daughter who repeated I have to go even when suddenly being caught one day.

The timing is perfect.

I have now decided to implement a quickly done operation that I have consistently shouted for a long time.

If you continue to observe this girl, you can see whether the black magic is completely broken or not.

Considering the case of the general store black market, brainwashing was also released when the black magic was broken.

The slaves and managers died because they had no conscience at all, but in this case, the mother also recognized and saw what she was doing, so it didnt seem like they had no conscience at all.

But The dissolution of black magic would be the beginning of another tragedy.

Nevertheless, it was impossible to continue to live without their own will.

I looked at everyone in front of me and said.

Lets all go together.

I sharpened my sword yesterday too, and it was a perfect day.

Lets go to that damn little farm right now. Take the lead, Uncle.

~*~

(3rd person pov)

Rayburns farm was one of the smallest in Caronda.

Rayburn, a humble farmer, had only one worker, Lanella.

Even if everyone asked to grow a little bit more, Rayburn always laughed, saying he was not very greedy.

Lanella also shook her head, saying she enjoyed farm work, although others told her to go to a better place.

The farms property had a few animals and enough fields for a person to manage for about a day.

Of course, it was only a well-decorated external image.

Rayburn, who was never shabby, and Lanella, who never enjoyed farm work, were talking in the cabin.

A message came from the prince, theyre going to get rid of Annabelle Rainfield.

Rayburn said in a pleased tone and handed the note to Lanella.

Lanella welcomed and accepted the note.

I heard theyre going to bring someone thats much better than Annabel Rainfield.

She blinked as she read the note.

Ian Wade is still in the Empire. On that note, get rid of Aaron Rainfield too. Its bothersome that hes good at swords. Of course, leave Marilyn and Oscar alone, for it would be more hell to be alive.

What Rainfield, theyre just commoners, so you can do it anytime.

Rayburn said, biting the cigar.

Are you satisfied now?

No way.

Lanella got nervous as she put the note on the table.

Hiding here, Im sick and tired of it. I want to go around now.

She kept hiding on the farm just in case Nick and Oscar contacted her. She urged Rayburn as if she were whining.

Hurry up and get rid of Nick first.

Im looking for an opportunity. Ill disguise myself as an outsider and send someone into the castle and then assassinate him. But since there are few people who use swords better than Nick in this neighborhood, it wont take that long to sort out the list

Rayburn, who was continuing his speech, jumped up at a cold sensation and ran to the window.

Opening the window, Rayburn opened his mouth in amazement at the sight in front of him.

Small fields surrounding their huts were burning.

What? A fire?

Lanella screamed in surprise.

The animals raised on the farm came out of surprise and were running wild.

And if they didnt run wild, they were on the verge of being burned in the cabin.

No!

It was when Rayburn tried to open the door and go out.

Ah.

The tall blonde man who was waiting at the door of the hut said quietly.

You cannot die.

What!

Rayburn couldnt even resist and was struck by his vital point and passed out.

And Lanella, who saw the face of a man who suddenly appeared, trembled.

I-I-Ian Why is Wade here?

Of course, Lanella couldnt keep up with him any longer.

As her body collapsed under the blunt shock, Lanellas gaze turned to look out the window.

Ah No

Annabelle was running among the animals that had escaped the flames.

And her sword pierced the neck of a deer, who was running hard toward the flameless side.

(Annabelles pov)

So, the fairy tale that came to mind after hearing the strange thing that happened in Caronda was .

Since unmarried men and women suddenly disappeared and set up a house in another land, wasnt it the story of a fairy tale if you changed the perspective?

In , the fairy was deprived of her wing clothes and eventually sat down in the human world and lived with the woodcutter.

Honestly, wasnt it a bolt out of the blue from the perspective of a fairy?

Of course, the woodcutter was bad, but there was an object to pay attention to here.

It was a deer that encouraged the woodcutter to take away the fairys wing clothes.

He was a very wicked beast who sold the entire life of the fairy.

In the end, the fairy, who regained her wing clothes, flew into the sky, so it could not be seen as a happy ending even for the woodcutter.

However, the deer did not appear in the story after that.

It was a beast that perfectly met the conditions of the origin of black magic that God said.

It was not a human being, but it encouraged human evil instincts to create tragedy.

And even falling into the story.

In this case, the deer encouraged the woodcutters instinct of I want to get a spouse who doesnt want me in a normal situation.

Among the beasts that ran out, only one deer was seen.

As soon as I found a deer, I rushed in with a sword.

It wasnt too difficult.

I looked down at the deer that had fallen near my feet.

He was very plump and had a good color, so it must have been treated well.

Oh my God! I think Rayburns farm is on fire!

Seeing the flames, the people of the territory who ran to them began diligently to fetch and carry water.

In fact, in the first place, we did bring in enough people to put out the fire right away.

The people who received orders and those who ran with good intentions joined together and the fire was quickly extinguished.

So, as a result, a lot of people from the estate gathered around the farm.

Actually, this arson was my plan.

Although it was a bit extreme, it was an unavoidable choice.

I didnt know the exact structure of the farm, because I couldnt go looking for non-human animals.

And the best way to get the beast out was fire.

After I killed the deer, I went back to the group in a safe place outside the farm.

The butler, my uncle, and Lina, were brought in.

As if I had properly removed the origin of black magic, Linas eyes began to focus.

Wow, here Isnt this Rayburns farm?

Lina opened her eyes slowly and spoke in a clear voice different from before.
