Chapter 278

TL: Zimmings

In an instant, the room was covered with hazy fog. Like a cemetery in the middle of the night.

Boom, boom, boom.

The sound of footsteps resonated from all sides.

“Wha, what!”

The scream of the butler was heard in the room. It was at that moment that the fog was lifted.

The ghost soldiers who filled the room were aiming their spears, swords, and bows at the monster and the butler, respectively.

A pillar of light appeared behind my back. I thought I could hear the sound of heels, but Boone, dressed in a black suit, walked out in front of me.

His appearance was different from usual and strange horns similar to ghost soldiers were raised in the center of the forehead.

What did he shout? It was an incomprehensible word, but I could vaguely know that it was an ancient word.

A few ghosts, who quickly lowered their bodies, nipped into the monster.

“Kiiik-!”

A tearing scream echoed.

The monster flapped its wings and the window began to break with a sharp rupture.

As soon as a large fragment flew toward me, a strange wind swirled in the room and flew toward the butler.

It was the power of Pur. It appeared in the shape of a deer, which was also unlike usual like Boone.

His fur was black, his eyes were bright red, his fangs protruded sharply like a tiger, and his huge antlers were rough as if they were thorns.

A strange vibration rang through my head.

My eyes are red and only anger is overflowing in me.

As if assimilating with my feelings, the images of the Boone, Pur, and ghost soldiers turned into more and more distorted.

When the iron masks that covered the faces of the ghost soldiers broke and fell under their feet, they disappeared in smoke.

Their face was exposed and their eyes became black tears, and in their place, creepy eyes like those of a beast were created.

Soon, the newly formed eyes glowed bright red, and something similar to a barrier came to mind.

The room became a mess. Every time the soldiers rushed to the monsters, they fired arrows and used their spear and sword, then soon after, a horrifying scream erupted.

They cut the monster’s flesh and drank the blood. It was a sight like hell.

The monster, which had been convulsing, became smaller and smaller, and some barriers emerged on the floor. The barrier was like swallowing a monster, that is Benedict.

“No, no…….”

No, I won’t let you go!

I rushed to Benedict, but even before my hand reached him, Benedict disappeared.

Sitting on the floor, I hit the spot where the barrier had come to mind.

Bang!

Boom!

While hitting it again and again, my hand was hurt and bloody, but I didn’t even notice it.

At that time, the butler collapsed. He desperately stepped back.

“Uh, uh… ahhhh!”

As he was about to run away screaming, I grabbed the sword that Lea had dropped.

‘I have to kill him.’

I can’t miss that man.

I rushed to the butler without hesitation.

“Oh, lady. Please save me. Please save me, lady.”

“…….”

“Th- threatened. So, ah, yes. My family is being held hostage, so……! Lady, what power does this old man have to deny their orders? Save me, save me.”

I couldn’t understand his words. The only thing that occupied my mind was death.

Die.

Die

You’re going to die!

As soon as I was about to put the sword into the butler’s chest, something caught my ankle. It was Lea’s hand.

“…….”

Lea’s hands grabbed my ankles.

It was only then that color began to return to my bright red vision.

I looked around the room blankly. The spirit of the ghost army, Boone, and Pur did not fade at all.

Their energy was really evil. Their form was truly terrifying like a monster.

‘Ah……’

It was then that I realized that they had assimilated my feelings. If I don’t stop now, I can’t stop again.

As the sword fell from my hand, Boone, Pur, and the ghost soldiers gradually faded.

It was at that moment that a loud noise was heard outside the room.

“Lady?”

They were the servants of the castle.

Those who escaped noticed something suspicious, and each ran with weapons such as bats, hoes, and kitchen knives.

“Oh my God, Dame Shavanol!”

“Hey, someone bring a doctor! Lady and Lea…!”

They ran to me, and only then did tears burst out.

“Lea, Lea… Someone got Lea…”

“…….”

“Ah, Lea…”

Crawling to Lea, I sobbed sadly.

***

The castle turned upside down.

The butler was caught, and Duke Dubblede, who heard the news, immediately issued what the butler said was a false order.

The people of Dubblede were only able to enter the castle after that.

The duke, Javelin, and the Dubblede brothers, who moved to the castle through long-distance teleportation, ran frantically.

When they opened the door, they saw Lea lying unconscious in bed, and Leblaine.

Leblaine seemed to be out of her mind.

Henry asked the servants in the room about Lea’s condition.

“With Dubblede’s technology and magic, it is not in a difficult condition to treat, but the problem is…”

He continued with a cloudy face.

“The monster’s toenail must have had poison, but it’s an unknown poison. It’s impossible to know.”

“What about a mage? Is there no antidote at all?”

“No, among the drugs that exist now.”

“You can’t make it”?

He shook his head.

“It’s hard to investigate such poison. Doctors say she won’t last long. When the lungs are completely destroyed…”

Isaac closed his eyes. The others were also unable to open their mouths anymore. They knew well what Lea meant to Leblaine.

Her best friend, the person she trusts the most in the world, her mother…….

When everyone was unable to even talk to Leblaine, who seemed to be out of her mind, she muttered.

“…I should have died. I… what to say, Lea…….”

“Leblaine Dubblede!”

A thunderous scream erupted.

It was Johann.

Johann hasn’t yelled at Leblaine a single time since the incident where he first hid his wounds.

Isaac and Henry looked back at him with surprise, and Johann walked in front of Leblaine.

She murmured with her head down.

“It’s because of me. To protect myself, she went to the castle like an idiot, because I didn’t dress properly……”

“The day you were born? When you came to Dubblede? Why don’t you call it a sin?”

Isaac shouted, “Brother!” but Johann only looked at Leblaine with a firm face.

“You know it’s not your fault.”

Leblaine slowly raised her head.

Tears welled up in her bloodshot eyes. Johann bent his knees and opened his mouth again, looking at his younger sister.

“Why were you able to reach this place after wandering endlessly through misfortune?”

Tears that had been gathering fell down. Leblaine said, her face distorting like a child.

“B, because I didn’t give up.”

“Yes, you know how not to give up.”

Johann hugged her. With one hand supporting his thin sister’s head, he spoke affectionately.

“Get revenge double the amount and the meanest way like Dubbledes do.”

The light returned to Leblaine’s eyes, who was holding her brother’s collar tightly.

She will never give up. For Lea and herself.

***

The next day, Lea was moved to the mansion.

This is because the mansion with Taylor, mages and Trigon is more suitable for treatment than the castle.

Aunt and Viscount Dubos decided to manage the castle and interrogate the butler. Even before we left, the scream of the butler was heard from the underground prison.

Dad, my brothers, and I came back to the mansion. It was the emperor who met us.

“Leblaine Lisette Dubblede. We are pursuing her as a suspect in the meteor case.”

I laughed out loud.

‘The temple manipulated the shopping district incident.’

Since Benedict returned with serious injuries, the temple must have known that things had gone awry.

‘Are they going to solve the shopping district meteor case by blaming me?’

In the mock battle of the families, I instructed the mages to use meteor, which was an ultra-high-light magic that only imperial mages could use.

But in my first life, I made a formula to use meteor easier, and through it, I tried meteor in the mock battle.

‘I wondered why it was a meteor, not any other magic.’

They must have intended to blame me even if something went wrong, aiming at the fact that the formula “Leblaine = Meteor” has not been forgotten in people’s heads.

“Why would I do it at a shopping district?”

“We confirmed that there was a second child of fate in the store. Store owners also testified that the meteorite fell, and that there was someone who saw you and that you were not in the Dubblede territory.”

‘It’s perfectly rigged.’

“That alone doesn’t mean I’m the culprit. Mina might have tried to use meteor on me.”

“The second child of fate is also subject to investigation. Both of you have been ordered to be investigated, so it would be beneficial for you to follow it.”

Isaac groaned and tried to step forward.

I stopped him.

‘If I don’t get investigated, they’ll think it’s suspicious.’

“Okay. Let’s go.”

“Kid!”

“Leblaine.”

Isaac and Henry looked at me with stiff faces, but I shrugged.

“I’ll go. Oh, before that…”

I whispered something to Johann, and his eyes widened.

“Little sister.”

“Please.”

“……okay.”

After talking, I followed him out of the mansion. There was a commotion behind my back.

Upon arriving at the imperial palace, Mina was seen walking with Cardinal Reginald from the opposite side of the hallway.

She looked very anxious.

When our eyes met, I clasped my hand.

“Child.”

Reginald called me with a benevolent look.

“I was worried about what I would do if you didn’t come to the imperial palace. If you don’t get investigated, we’ll have doubts.”

As my expression got cold, Reginald laughed. I moved away from him.

Just as I was passing by Mina, I stopped walking and said,

“Mina.”

“…….”

“In this world, There are a lot of bad people. For example, a person who tries to sacrifice an innocent person to keep their beliefs…… A person who destroys the most precious thing of the other person to vent their anger.”

“What?”

I said with a smile.

“Duke Amity, how is he?”

Mina’s expression hardened.

“You, what did you…”

“How do you see me? Do I look like a bad person?”

Reginald looked at us with a puzzled expression as we talked.

“Mina?”

At that moment, Mina began to rush to the other side of the investigation room.

“Mina!”

Reginald was very surprised and looked at Mina. I clapped my hands and shouted.

“Oh my. If you don’t get investigated, you’ll be suspicious.”

Reginald’s expression hardened.
