131 – Their War 5
When people reach a certain level, they want to live the life they want to live.
However.. among those who reached that level, the number of those who lived the life they wanted to live was not so many.
And the reason…
Ironically, it was because of the things that person had accumulated so far.
Those who seek wealth because of the wealth they have accumulated,
Those who sought power because of the power in their hands.
And… the one who sought power…
Because of the power that is wrapped around one’s own body.
They end up not being able to live the life they really wanted.
From that point of view, she could be said to be a lucky case in many ways.
Even if it doesn’t perfectly match what you want.
Even if it’s wrapped in wrapping paper called a secret…
This is because she has always been able to shape the life she wanted in her own way.
Of course, nonetheless, this artificially designed life was not without problems,
Because of this, she often had to step in and fix it herself.
For example.. now, like this moment..

Polena walks slowly down the hallway.
With an air quite different from her usual lighthearted appearance, she was waiting to see a group of people approaching her.
and after a while,
People who began to appear before her eyes.
At the end of the corridor stood a group of armed soldiers,
At the forefront, as expected, that person…
Her master’s sister was looking at Dust Andreas this way with a cold smile.
“Good night, Lady Dust, where are you going at this time?”
Polena smiled brightly, clearing the chill from her lips.
Looking at her, Dust spoke in a cold tone with a cold smile.
“I am not going anywhere. Just to catch one of the pesky rats in the castle.”
“Hmm… that means that there was even a thief in the castle… Can I take it as something like that?”
Polena smiled at Dust’s words and spoke.
Looking at her attitude, as if it were something interesting to see, Durst laughed lightly at the foolish woman and said,
“Whoops, that’s right. There was a thief in the castle. Not someone else, but a very cunning thief trying to steal my brother.”
-Just right!-
With those words, Dust lightly snapped his fingers.
Right after that, the soldiers surrounded Polena in front of them and pointed their spears at her.
“This… Do you think it’s a little too much for a joke, Lady Dust?”
Polena still speaks with a smile even in a very tense situation that occurred in an instant.
However, apart from her attitude, Dust said in a cold voice while looking at the situation where there seemed to be no corner to run away from.
“Don’t complain, I’ll just quietly follow you for now. If you act nonsense, you won’t be able to see the sun rise tomorrow.”
“Yes, yes, it can’t be helped if the lady says so. As a servant, I have no choice but to follow.”
Despite Dust’s words, Polena answered with an attitude overflowing with composure.
Seeing her like this, Dust automatically began to frown, but nevertheless, instead of expressing her emotions, she decided to focus on doing what she was asked to do.
“Take it.”
“Your lady.”
So, following Dust’s command, the soldiers dragged Polena to the place they had talked about, and Dust also started to move together at the head of them.
“By the way, are you really going to be okay? No matter how much it’s called a tryst in the middle of the night, if you catch me like this, it might be troublesome in many ways.”
“Be quiet, that’s none of your business.”
“I’m sorry if you say that, but I’m just advising you as a servant. What would happen if Santana-sama knew about this?”
-visor!
The next moment, Dust aimed the sword he was wearing around his waist at Polena’s neck.
Despite her behavior, Polena’s lips still had a smile on her face, but it seemed to have succeeded in getting her to shut up.
“Tell me one more word… Unlike my older brother, I don’t have much patience. Depending on the situation, I could blow your neck off without giving you a second thought.”
“… hehehe.. Yes, then I will do that. Lady Dust.”
Even with a knife pointed at her throat, Polena answered without losing her composure.
Seeing her like this, Dust began to feel as though his stomach, which had been bubbling over with this vulgar b*tch, was turned upside down even more.
‘This bastard.. believes in his older brother’s belly and is very arrogant. Let’s see how long this attitude goes… I’ll make sure to make your voice begging for your life to flow out of your mouth.’
Polena, who is Santana’s closest aide and who is almost certain to be the same as his hidden lover.
As such, it was true that no matter how dusty it was, it was impossible to kill this woman carelessly, and from the circumstances, Polena seemed to be very aware of this fact.
But… in this regard, Dust had someone who could do the job he couldn’t do.
A person waiting for Polena at the place where she is taken.
I don’t know if it’s someone else, but if it’s that person…
Estelle, Santana’s fiancée and the person who asked him to do this, would be able to legally deal with Polena, who is favored by Santana.
From Estelle’s point of view, it was because she could establish a justification enough in that she took care of the lowly things that seduced her fiancé.
Anticipating the appearance of Polena, who would squeeze out tears as she screamed for help after a while, Dust began to hurry even more.
however..
“..this should be enough..”
“?”
The next moment, a cold voice suddenly licks my ear and passes by
At the same time, Dust suddenly stopped walking without realizing it because of the chill.
“what… what?..”
A chilly sensation that came over me momentarily.
Dust’s face hardened as it felt as if the back of his head had been split with an ice axe.
‘What the heck… what? What’s happening all of a sudden?’
It was clear that something incomprehensible to her head had happened.
But… nevertheless, at this moment, she couldn’t even dare to turn her head and check it out.
As a wizard… no, as a human being before that, her survival instincts were warning her.
If…if she could look back at this moment.
Then she knew that something more terrible would happen than she could have imagined.
“you… you… who… Whoops!”
At the same time as he barely tried to slap his mouth, Dust hardened his body from the screams his instincts shouted.
Right after that… someone’s cold breath started to touch her ears.
“Shhh… ”
The sound of breathing that is so cool that it doesn’t even contain a single point of warmth.
It started in her ears and began to crawl into her head, giving her a terrible feeling like a snake.
“Be quiet… I won’t hurt you.”
“Geuheop!…”
The voice of ‘it’ that disguises softness, but gives the feeling of a knife with a sharp edge…
At that sound, Durst began to feel a sense of suffocation as he felt the pressure of being strangled.
“hehehe… you don’t have to be so nervous. Can’t you… do I really have to kill you? You just need to answer my questions honestly from now on.”
“G.. Jill… door… ?”
“okay. question. first… I want you to start by telling me why you did such an outrageous thing against me.”
“!..”
A question from the mouth of ‘it’.
Through this, Dust was able to recognize who caused this situation a step later in the confusion.
‘Po..Paul..Lena?.. How this… this woman…
