2. Rachel Cardia – (9)
***
“Do you trust people?”
Ed, who was about to open her mouth at the same time as Rachel’s timbre echoed, paused and looked at Rachel.
And the contrast between her grinning face caught Ed’s eye. Somehow, naturally, my gaze went to Rachel’s beautiful face and the scar on one of her cheeks.
How could such a scar sit on her beautiful face?
Considering her skills, I couldn’t understand that she had such scars.
And only then did Ed try to read the emotion in Rachel’s expression when she asked if she believed in people.
Is it anger, or resentment?
It contained all sorts of negative emotions.
She was clearly smiling, but she seemed to be restrained even from the emotions she read—-.
The thoughts that had continued were interrupted by the infinitely cold voice of Rachel.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t answer anything.”
Rachel spat out her words as if it didn’t matter, and abruptly took off her hood.
Then, the red hair that was suppressed under her hood showed its presence as if it were scattering vivid red color in the space.
“Ed Glead, you don’t know anything about the world yet.”
Rachel spat out the words in a ferocious voice and instantly closed the distance between her and Ed.
Took.
Her new body Ed seemed to be approaching at the same time that she fell as if pushed by something, and Rachel settled down on top of Ed’s body as if gently pressing her with her delicate body.
It was just a moment.
Before she knew it, she herself lay down on the bed.
She was unable to move at the sight of Rachel perched above her.
In her senses as if time had stopped, Rachel was slowly approaching her. Her lustrous red hair, long and disheveled, tickled her own face. Her face was visible from a close distance, almost out of breath.
Looking at a beautiful flower, she immediately wants to smell its scent.
She was Ed, who always thought twice and was alert whenever she faced a woman. She was not alert at the sight of Rachel approaching in a moment she didn’t expect.
The bright red eyes revealed under the red hair seemed almost to be sucked in, and the scar on the cheek of the white skin was rather natural in itself, in line with her sharp impression.
From noble mtl dot com.
A face that is hard to find even a speck of stain anywhere.
What man could ever complain about seeing her face.
Even Ed, who was subconsciously wary, at that moment just stared blankly at Rachel’s beautiful face, as if bewitched.
Unlike Ed, who just looked at her as if she was possessed, without thinking about what Rachel’s intentions were, her fire and her smile until just now seemed to be a lie. Rachel was looking at Ed with her infinitely cold eyes.
She is pushed against herself and despite being laid down, she blankly looks at herself.
She knows what she’ll do herself.
As if not thinking about what would happen….
A look that is so innocent that it even looks stupid.
Rachel, who had come close enough to touch Ed’s face, suddenly lifted her head and opened the distance between her, then raised her hand and lightly squeezed her around Ed’s neck.
“… ….”
Rachel’s red hair, which had been tickling her face, moved away, and Ed grabbed her by the neck and only then came to her senses.
When he became aware of Rachel sitting above him, he couldn’t understand how the situation was going.
However, when she saw Rachel’s face looking at her, she remembered the moment she and Rachel first met.
Even if you kill someone, the bright red eyes that shine as if nothing happened, a nonchalant expression that doesn’t seem to blink even if you kill yourself right now. The moment he met Rachel’s bright red eyes, he was speechless.
Rachel smiled at Ed who looked at her with a nervous look and coldly spit out her words.
“You can kill whenever you want to kill.”
Rachel, who had lightly stroked Ed’s neck as if caressing her captivated Ed, gave strength to her hand for a moment.
“ㅡㅡ!!”
Ed struggles to remove Rachel’s hands from her neck as if in pain.
It seems that she is not inspired at all by her desperate appearance. She looked up at Ed with a cold expression.
And suddenly, Rachel took power from her hands.
“The mandible… mandible….”
Ed kept trying to draw in shortness of breath, hastily letting her breath out into her red-hot face. And she hastily tried to get away from her Rachel.
Ed’s expression stained with pain changes to urgency.
I wasn’t even excited.
There was no slight movement.
She struggled, but there was no change in Rachel’s new type, which existed as if she were just putting her body on top of it.
Just alone.
Ed was struggling all alone.
Rachel, who was coldly watching her desperately trying to get out of her way with her radiant blonde hair disheveled, picked up her momentum at the moment and tied her Ed.
As if she wouldn’t even allow me to struggle. Something like a red haze rose from Rachel’s body and at the same time began to bind Ed.
Soon, Rachel slowly removed her hand from Ed’s neck, though she didn’t move.
Ed’s struggling movements suddenly stopped.
As if a number of people had grabbed his entire body. There was Ed, who stiffened in an unnatural posture.
Ed was terrified that she had been subdued by something she could not understand, and Rachel just calmly looked down at Ed.
“In that state, even lifting one finger would be difficult with your will. No matter what you say, your mouth won’t even listen to you.”
Rachel’s reddish eyes were shining so vividly that it seemed odd to anyone looking at them.
“I said I saved you, but even after that, I honestly don’t understand why you still believe in me.”
She slowly raised her hand and put it on Ed’s face. Looking appreciatively into her terrified eyes, Rachel just slowly caressed Ed’s face.
“I was the one who made you that way in the first place.”
The red eyes that faced the fear-stricken eyes had a strangely vivid red light in themselves.
“And sometimes things are more dangerous than dying.”
Unlike the hand that was caressing her face, the other hand moved it slowly to Ed’s chest as if caressing it.
Ed, who was terrified, gradually became contemplative at the sight of Rachel caressing his body.
A feeling of goosebumps all over the body.
“That… ….”
Ed’s mouth trembled, and he seemed to be trying to say something, but he couldn’t even pronounce it properly.
It was as if my tongue was frozen.
No, not just the tongue, but the whole body seemed to have hardened itself.
The feeling of countless hands holding onto you and not letting go. She obviously couldn’t do anything herself, even though her hands weren’t exerting much force.
It doesn’t make sense to think that it was simply pressed with momentum.
It was as if he had been enchanted. My whole body felt stiff.
“If you trust people so easily, you will end up feeling empty like you are now.”
***
A fine appearance, a body that does not even feel the strength it possesses even after receiving treatment.
The body, which had just emerged from death, felt no strength whatsoever.
Even the struggle made him feel weak.
“If you trust people so easily, you will end up feeling empty like you now.”
After saying that, he very slowly put his hand on Ed’s clothes.
And the clothes he bought just a few hours ago.
When he realized the current situation of trying to peel it off with his own hands, he felt like he had become some sort of trash. At least this guy needed to realize.
Even though he was put on the verge of death by himself, no one else, he did not show any resentment or hatred toward himself afterwards.
At that moment when he was about to die, he showed resignation as if he would accept it.
When I looked at the countless scars all over my body, it was clear that they were traces of being abused. Even that, Ed blamed his own skills.
And I don’t doubt how I treat anyone.
That’s why every time I looked into those eyes, I got annoyed for no reason.
It was that pure. And it was definitely lacking.
What is the true meaning of fear?
What it means to kill others.
What does it mean to have mercy in dealing with others?
In the end, let’s make the current situation different from death.
The look of trying desperately to escape somehow.
A trembling figure in fear.
He came out with what he expected.
I had to realize deep down in my bones how dangerous it is to think that someone is that way with only one’s own thoughts.
“Think about what will happen to you right now.”
The mana that wrapped around his body was thicker than ever, and he didn’t even have the heart to release him yet.
If you think about how you came to this situation, it was simply your own act of killing the priest.
A simple quarrel that ensued.
Ed Gleaard.
Is it because it was a knight? Or is it just the nature of it?
It got on his nerves that he looked at him with such an intrusive eye at the death of someone he had nothing to do with.
And I didn’t like the way he talked about killing people as if he was admonishing himself.
‘I don’t know anything… ….’
The very thought of discussing human life about him made him angry.
Perhaps what he is doing to Ed is just a way to vent his anger.
That might be it.
“That….”
Ed’s voice, let alone a meaningful one, echoed weakly in the quiet space.
Even when she heard Ed’s voice, Rachel’s hand was infinitely slow as she removed Ed’s clothes.
As if trying to imprint the fear of this moment.
