“If it still hurts, I’ll go down to the village and get some medicine,” he continued, pointing down the mountain where we hid ourselves. “And I’ll be really careful next time.”
“Why is there another one?”
In the first place, he and I were different people. He escaped from slavery, so he had to leave in search of freedom, and I had to go to the temple instead to become a saint.
“Why is there no next time?”
His smiling face, who clung to every word I said, was completely gone. I licked my lips at his blank expression that felt cold.
“Why is there no next time, I ask, Master?”
With his hood removed, there was a long shadow over the scar on the bridge of his nose that was more visible now.
“Oh, no… Because you are free now,” I answered, pushing him away as he leaned toward me.
“The Master is my companion now, what do you mean freedom?”
He shrugged his shoulders sourly.
Opening my rabbit eyes, I asked back, “Companion?”
“Huh. You must’ve prepared that much while having sex with Tan last night.”
Just to be clear, I was the one who asked for it?
I scratched my trembling cheek at the man’s words. I can’t even remember how it started because I was drugged.
“Well, what happens when you have sex with Tan on that day…?”
“I explained it. Now the master is my companion.”
“So, what does that mean?”
At my words, the eyes of the tall man turned into a narrow line.
“Now, even if you want to hide from me, you can never hide.”
“Huh…?”
“Even if you cross the strait by boat to another continent, I’d be able to find you, Master.”
I glanced at his eyes, bending like a crescent moon, and opened my jaw.
“Uh…?”
The man who closed my mouth with his fingertips whispered softly, “And Tan, he would never let go of their companion in the first place.”
You have cleared the <SYSTEM> quest.
With the man’s words, a system window that I haven’t seen in a long time flashed in front of me. My eyes widened at the sudden quest completion message.
When I hurriedly pressed OK because I thought Adrian’s insinuation were released, a translucent system window displayed a message.
<QUEST> Find ‘Lucas’ (SUCCESS)
Congratulations! You didn’t find the target character ‘Lucas’, but you found your own ‘Lucas’.
Enter the Iron Wall Girl + Obsessed Man route.
Reward: ‘Lucas’ likability 20, charm 20, stamina 20
※CAUTION ※ Frequent sex with ‘Lucas’ can lead to your death. Protect your health, defend the iron wall.
I laughed dejectedly as I read the system message.
‘To protect myself from death, I have to protect my wall?’
Didn’t this mean I could really die from sex?
A copycat… No, the main culprit was right in front of my eyes. I stepped back, wary of the man in front of me.
“Rian, come to think of it, what happened to Rian?”
The man who tilted his head sharply to my question answered with a shrug, “As the Master said, he was in the closet of the inn.”
I narrowed my brows to the man’s sharp words.
“…So where is he now?”
“He’s still in the closet, isn’t he? Because I didn’t take him out.”
“Why didn’t you take him out?”
“He’s a dog that the Master loves. I wish I could search for him as soon as possible, but why should I take him out?”
He spoked proudly and caressed my cheek affectionately.
“I want my master to see only me.”
“…”
“Don’t be angry because I’m holding back from digging those pretty eyes out so you can’t see anything else unless it’s me. It’s hard to hold it in because you’re prettier when you’re angry.”
What…?
I gulped at the brutal choice of words that the man mumbled sweetly.
Hey, system, I think you set the keyword wrong…
I think the guy I knew was a bit different from this guy now?
“By the way, Master, since you’re up, do you want to do it again?”
As soon as the man spoke, a warning message flashed in frightening boldness blocked my view.
<WARNING> Danger approaches. Avoid it.
<WARNING> ‘Edith Abina’ chance of death goes up.
