After agreeing to receive monthly reports on Koo Kyungmans physical condition for a year, Seo Dawon took me to escape Koo Hui-seos room.

In addition, Seo Dawon said he would need to personally confirm that Kyungmans arm was being cut off this evening, so we did not return to our home but settled, instead, in the guest room upstairs. A servant User guided us there.

As soon as the door closed, Seo Dawon said to Jung Garam, Check it out.

What did he mean by that?

Unlike me, who was utterly puzzled, Jung Garam immediately closed his eyes at those words and recited his skill, [Investigation].

As soon as the [Investigation] skill activated, I heard a small pop, like something burst within my ear canals. Jung Garam opened his eyes, I caught one. A wire-tap.

Good.

Wire-tap? I looked around, belatedly wary.

Seo Dawon gently grabbed at my shoulder as if to calm me down. Well, its normal to have a few around.

Jung Garam also calmly sat on the sofa; his reaction confirming the Mages statement.

What do you mean normal! Normal people dont wire-tap their rooms!

About to protest, I anxiously thought, Dont tell me, is Koo Hui-seo going to change his mind? He showed an extraordinary amount of madness, enough to hatch a scheme to get his half-brother pregnant. What if he has other self-interests?

Why do you look so agitated? Jung Garam asked curtly, looking at my face.

I hesitated to speak, seeing how easy-going he lookedbut I eventually opened my mouth. If hes bugging the roomsIs Koo Hui-seo possibly up to something else?

If its wire-taps youre worried about, those are probably installed in every room. Seo Dawon answered. Hes a bit crazybut I dont think hed be so crazy as to be unable to firmly grasp the situation hes in. Seo Dawon smiled softly, as if he read my anxious mind.

I bet Koo Hui-seo is more interested in his new toy than us? Jung Garam calmly added, glancing at me sideways from his seat on the sofa.

I was worried that they werent vigilant enough, but I thought it would be meaningless for me to further air my concerns when they spoke in unison.

Eventually I walked over to the bed and flopped down. My body suddenly lost its strength, and I was overwhelmed with fatigue. By any chance, the revenge that you guys wantYoure not going to impregnate Bae Jaemin, right?

.

.

While thinking of all that had happened today (Revenge, Koo Hui-seo, Koo Kyungman), my unfiltered thoughts suddenly popped out of my mouth.

They said nothing for quite some time. When I raised my head to look at them, their expressions were really unusual. W-Why are you looking at me like that?

Because of you, I imagined something nauseating.

If Lee-kyung-ie absolutely insists, I could help him, but

I quickly bowed my head and apologized to the twothey both seemed like they detested the idea. Nevertheless, their reactions were reassuring; it would have been difficult to be in the same team as those that thought the same way as Koo Hui-seo.

Yeah. No one would say anything weird about simple murder or some light torture

Knock Knock

It was then.

Suddenly, we heard a knock on the door. At first, I thought I was hearing things, but, seeing as how Seo Dawon and Jung Garam both also looked towards the door, it seems my ears heard properly.

Seo Dawon had preemptively terminated the summoning to leave himself some time for a face-to-face meeting with Koo Kyungman later in the evening, so I was the only one who could answer the door.

Theres no way its Koo Hui-seo, right? I thought, as I opened the door.

The madam has returned to the mansion. She has invited you to dinner; please come down to the first floor by 6:30.

Fortunately, it wasnt Koo Hui-seo, but a servant who knocked on the door. He turned around and disappeared after that short remark.

An invite to dinner out of nowhere? And if its the madamHe must be talking about Koo Hui-seos mother.

What should we do? I asked.

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the . website.

We have to go. Seo Dawon calmly replied, as if he had expected this.

No one came to the room until 6 p.m., but I could not relax and soothe my mind. Time flew fast, and it was soon time for dinner.

* * *

This way.

When we descended to the first floor, the servant, waiting for us, guided us to our destination.

The door to the living room, where Koo Kyungman battled earlier (and had consequently been destroyed) was firmly closed and the inside could not be seen. We passed that door and went a little further inside; entering the heart of the mansion, we came upon a space like a glass greenhouse. There was a small garden within the house.

The gardens terrace was equipped with an outdoor table, with plates and knives set upon it. Perhaps thats tonights dinner location. Fortunately, or unfortunately, no one was sitting at the table; I moved to the center of this space under the guidance of the servant.

The servant, after showing me to the table, took out the chair. As I took a seat, the chairs next to me were also moved out as well.

Did someone else arrive? Or at least, thats what I thought, until Istill frightenedsaw Seo Dawon and Jung Garam sitting on the chairs with stiff expressions on their faces.

Currently, Seo Dawon and Jung Garam werent summoned so they could not be seen by others. But for these two to take these seats

Meow.

But, before I could do anything, a white cat had appeared, without me noticing, on my plate. The cat appeared to be observing meand my subsequent shock. It was the cat I saw with Koo Hui-seo, just a few days ago, as he was leaving the annex.

This must be the witchs familiar

When I saw the cat, I was convinced that all that had happened was conducted under Koo Hui-seos mothers directions. Maybe she knew we were the ones that rescued her sonIf so, what could she be thinking?

I wanted to ask Seo Dawon for his opinion on this strange situation, but I heard an unfamiliar voice first.

Long time no see.

Koo Hui-seos mother, who I had seen when leaving the hospital, had appeared with a servant. She looked straight at Seo Dawon.

Yes. It has been a while. Seo Dawon lowered his eyes and greeted politely. He looked as if he was swallowing a wry smile.

After staring openly at Seo Dawon, Koo Hui-seos mother turned her gaze towards me. It was impossible to guess her age from her knowing gaze; it felt like it pierced through me, tingling past my spine.

Didnt I tell you that day that youd be snapped in two? 1

You didnt listenIn the end, this is how we face each other again.

I dont understand why shes saying the things she wants to say to Seo Dawon while looking at meBut, in any case, I understood from her words that Seo Dawon and she had known each other.

As a witch, she seems to have access to a rare ability, [Prophecy]. The two of them seem to have known each other in the past, and she seemed to have given Seo Dawon a warningwhether in the form of a prophecy or a curse.

Isnt that a pretty deep connection?

And the Mage didnt say a word about this when we went to meet Koo Hui-seo

Seo Dawon really doesnt reveal his innermost thoughts but feels at ease to ask and uncover all that hes curious about with me.

I kept paying attention to Seo Dawons uncanny calm expression even though my heart felt stuffy from the secretiveness of the man I thought I knew. Even though I knew that he wasnt the type of man to feel discouraged by those words.

After hearing a prophecy that he would suffer a huge defeat, dying, and signing a contract, Seo Dawon was now here with me. I dont know how he reacted when he first heard her predictions

The way she sat in her seat with a sneer clearly belied her intent to mock. Her malice could be felt by all those seated here.

I looked at Seo Dawon, who was silent, and eventually replied to her, If you listen to the prophecy, can the future catastrophes be prevented?

Fate is merciful to the humble.

In short, shes saying that Seo Dawon died because he was a rude little bastard.

I placed one tightly clenched fist on my thigh and eventually retorted with something quite unlike me. I guess youre speaking from experience.

.

When she stared at me again, I smiled and said, Ill listen carefully.
