4 – Raeli Karis (3)

I was treated very well by Viscount Karis.

It’s time to return to my family soon, but I’m determined to do everything I can for that short time.

The luxury of lying on a soft bed was not very common.

Maybe it’s more because I live a life of madness rather than holding power and wealth even though I have strong power.

A life of killing, fighting, and risking infinite lives.

So I felt a little more.

Now that the curses that were so obvious are gone.

All the little things have been changed satisfactorily.

I look at my left hand, which is wrapped in a bandage.

Is this a coincidence?

Among the methods I used black magic, it was the method I used the most.

It was to stab my hand with a ceremonial dagger and use black magic.

so-called ‘self-sacrifice’.

And as an immortal, it was the method I used the most.

The more a normal black magician uses such self-sacrifice, the faster he approaches death.

It is a natural result of spending my life.

But I contained the boundless sea of immortality.

There was no end to scooping out the water with one basket.

The part to stab with a dagger like that is the left hand.

It is only natural to stab the hand that is not used well. Every time you stab it, it hurts and it doesn’t heal right away, so if you’re right-handed, stab the left hand, and if you’re left-handed, stab the other side.

“It’s fair.”

I was used to it.

The feeling of the left hand wrapped in a bandage.

A tingling sensation from the wound.

Coincidentally, the part stabbed by the goblin was also on his left hand.

– Knocked up.

While I was thinking about that, someone opened the door.

Raeli.

Decorated more beautifully, she entered with hesitating steps.

Unlike before, it was obvious that she was an aristocratic young lady.

Although the sword still worn around the waist did not suit him.

“Thank you for saving me. Prince Argal.”

Raeli gave me a small smile and expressed her gratitude to me.

I felt strange.

It wasn’t something I did for her, but it was the situation itself where I was thanked by everyone who stayed in this castle.

The maid who was washing the windows and the servants who were carrying heavy loads were saying something like ‘thank you for saving my lady’.

Have I ever been thanked in the past?

Only voices of hatred, resentment, and despair were heard.

Maybe it’s because I’m not used to this tickling feeling?

“As I said again, of course… .”

“How could that be normal?”

As always, when I was about to give the same answer, I cut off and came in.

The bizarre enthusiasm in Raeli’s eyes.

I feel the will of something.

It was her courage to truly receive forgiveness, not merely verbal forgiveness.

“I have something to tell you.”

Like a knight’s oath of allegiance, Raeli gets down on one knee and speaks.

“There is a great mistake I have committed against you.”

She confessed her sins.

“I deceived you and deliberately took you to the forest where the goblins appear.”

…to some extent expected.

I knew that she had taken me to the woods to test me.

That said, I didn’t know that she would really confess her sins in her mouth.

I’m in trouble.

There was no need to accept the apology.

Rather, if I reveal to others that there was such malice, Viscount Karis will pay more for me to cover it up.

…But suddenly, I remembered myself who had killed her in the past.

It’s gone, but maybe I’ve made a much bigger mistake.

After a short deliberation, the decision was made.

“So please forgive me… .”

“It is.”

“Is that true?”

“I will forgive you. And it is also an unavoidable misfortune that the demon dwells in the goblins.”

When I said I would forgive her, she was genuinely happy.

“I will never forget your forgiveness and grace. I promise to pay you back for all of this.”

A series of events seemed to completely change her mind.

something… . This means that a larger variable has emerged.

It was hard to see the tenacious gaze at me as simple gratitude or an attitude of looking at a benefactor.

I couldn’t understand the feeling, but I knew it was too late to overturn it.

“Then I’ll see you again when you leave.”

“…That’s right, Lady Raeli.”

“Just call me comfortably.”

It was a strange request, but it was only about omitting excessive etiquette.

We were the same age at first.

He did what he wanted.

“Yes, Raeli.”

“Yes.”

She lowered her head, then quickly turned around and hurriedly ran out.

Raeli’s face, which seemed to be frozen, was slightly red.

I decided not to do it because I couldn’t understand it.

I just feel like I want to go back soon.

**

In a short period of time, Raeli sorted out her feelings and properly objectified her current situation.

First, she tested her marriage partner.

Second, because of it, Argal was badly injured while trying to save her.

Thus, Argal proved to be the perfect groom without a single speck.

At the same time, the perfect tragedy happened that she became the main culprit of hurting Argal.

In the first place, Argal was a marriage partner who had nothing to bow to no matter who saw it.

He was handsome, had a good personality, and had no accident history.

The only regret was that the family was Korean and American, but it was 100 times better than meeting a badass from a good family.

Viscount Karis also knew that, so he pushed ahead with the marriage conversation without being overly ambitious.

Raeli was a unique young lady and full of chivalry, so she deducted a lot of points for being weak, but Argal was an opponent to be caught by any decent young lady.

In the meantime, when she found out that she had the courage to risk her life for others in her weakness, which she thought was a weakness, Raeli began to see everything about Argal differently.

Seeing Argal quietly reading a book in her bedroom, her heart beats by itself.

I know the heart, but I didn’t know how to do it.

Shouldn’t you ask him to forgive you first?

I said I was sorry, but I think it was just a formal acceptance.

There was no way he would be forgiven for doing such a thing.

So she visited the knight in the manor.

The escort knights closest to her were all severely punished for the previous incident, so they couldn’t visit them.

At least I found a familiar face.

“Hans, what do you do when you have to wish someone you like something wrong?”

“Yes?”

Hans, who had been hit by a bomb out of nowhere, put on a bewildered expression, but in an instant he came to his senses and pondered over the true intention of the young lady’s question.

Of course, Hans knew something about the current chaotic situation.

The fact that Confucius, who had come for a wedding talk, was injured spread throughout the castle.

Hans pondered for advice and came up with an answer.

Of course, if there was one problem, it was that Hans had been living with men all his life and did not even know what a woman was.

I’m talking to the young lady well for that, but that’s why Raeli gets along very comfortably with the knights, which is strange.

Even if it’s only an uncomfortable opponent, if you roll on the dirt floor together, you’ll become friends.

So Hans gave an example of what he would do.

It was because the young lady had absolutely no idea what to do.

“If it were me, I would swear that I would fully reveal my faults and pay back as much as I did.”

“Is that good?”

“Yes, but the young lady is in a different position, so the method is different… . miss?”

Hans scratched his head as he looked at the young lady who quickly disappeared and ran away, leaving only a trail behind.

Although she was an eccentric girl, she did what she had to do, assuming that nothing would happen as she had always done.

Raeli took a deep breath in front of Argal’s bedroom.

She didn’t want to act like the other young girls.

It was right to confidently reveal one’s inner feelings and be forgiven.

However, if he apologized in the same way, he might get an apology from Argal that is only words.

Since he’s kind, he’ll let it go without incident, but I’m afraid that the marriage conversation won’t end well in the end.

So I confidently put on my brazen skin and go out.

Reveal your mistakes and set out to pay for them.

Raeli got down on one knee and took the knight’s oath.

A girl dressed up as a young lady wearing a knight’s sword and taking a knight’s oath might seem ridiculous at first glance, but Raeli was the absolute truth.

like you risked your life

To give that one life to you.

no matter when

So he made an unshakable oath.

Argal was bewildered and forgave her, and she was satisfied.

When he came out with all his heart, he also spoke the truth.

And along with joy, embarrassment was a bonus.

Raeli couldn’t keep her head up for the rest of the day.

It was because his fingers shook so much.

As the knights whispered while looking at the red-blushed young lady, she wanted to get into a mouse hole somewhere.

“Your lady can’t lift her head.”

“I heard from Hans, it looks like he confessed to Confucius today… .”

In addition to the oath she had just made to Argal, Raeli made another oath.

“Hans, you are behind.”

The two knights, hearing such a bloody murmur, decided to pray for Hans’ rest in peace.

It seemed that there would be an article that would give sick leave today.

**

The day has come to return.

Viscount Karis paid for the treatment very generously.

The proof is the enormous wealth accumulated in the wagon.

There was a mountain of riches that were sure to help the estate’s finances.

It was also a personal asset that I didn’t have to add to the estate’s finances, and it didn’t matter if I took care of it.

When it comes to money, the more you have, the better.

Feeling more than satisfied, I said goodbye one last time.

“I’ve had a good time so far. Thank you for your consideration, Viscount.”

“What, what you did is bigger. I’m just worried about your relationship with your daughter.”

The viscount took my hand and gave me something to notice.

Do you need an affirmation about marriage talks?

If this level of sincerity had been put in, I could have done it at least.

I had no intention of marrying anyone, but I could have been engaged, and I could always postpone the time to get married.

Anyway, everything will be over before then.

“Fine. After talking yesterday, we decided to be comfortable with each other.”

“I can let go of the hour, then… .”

Raeli follows.

He was only half as tall as the viscount and had pink hair, but his red eyes were very similar.

She stood quietly in front of me and said.

“Let’s meet at the academy.”

Academy.

It was a bit bizarre.

Bondi Academy is a place where all nobles and children go.

If you weren’t a fallen aristocrat without even the minimum amount of money, or an idiot with no answers, the academy was the half-essential place to go.

Also, the academy is where the hero and her companions must enter.

Before the regression, neither she nor I went to the academy.

I was kidnapped and made into an immortal, and she lost an eye and never left the castle.

Go where neither of you went.

“If so.”

I left a short word.

I was still not sure.

You will be kidnapped by them on your way back.

I will deal with it differently than in the past, but I don’t know how things will turn out.

The goodbyes were over and we boarded the wagon.

Caron followed him into the carriage, and soon after the driver struck the line and set off.

As the wagon rocked, one hand felt numb.

Of course, my hand was still injured and not fully healed.

Being undead doesn’t mean they have transcendent regenerative powers, they just don’t die.

Instead, it was quick to return to the point where I could move around in a near-death state.

Caron asked as she looked at her bandaged hand.

“Shall I change the bandage?”

“No, it’s just numb.”

“Shouldn’t you check it out?”

“it’s okay.”

It was nothing.

It wasn’t a wound that would heal in a day or two, and I received enough treatment that I could.

It is excessive to do more than this.

to sit like that for a while

I thought something was strange.

Originally, did Caron ride inside the wagon? Were they originally awkward?

Memories of the past were crushed by madness and nothing was clear.

Her attitude is a bit odd.

In the rocking carriage, I closed my eyes.

Caron’s condition was of no importance.

They were the problem on the way back to the territory.
