95 – Crazy
I saved money. Not only that, but she was also able to pack things she thought she would not be able to buy.
She
She owes all this to a woman who is not cheap. She didn’t even have to suffer from guilt.
Because it was the woman who first brought her quarrel.
She felt a little bit sorry, but at times like this, she can substitute Shael and think about it.
What if a man attacked Shael?
It was a mortal sin that even her life was not enough. So it was no big deal that I ripped off things and money.
After I perfectly rationalized my actions, I released the camouflage magic tool. She even undid the magic that erased her presence so that Shael could find me.
Then I felt a wave of magical energy from somewhere. Magnificent and strong aura was felt along with the wave.
Familiar magic and energy. It belonged to the owner of the magic tower and the crown prince.
They were coming toward me, scattering their magical powers.
‘There’s no need to run away.’
I needed to meet them in order to carry out my plan anyway. Even if I had to fight them, I had the confidence to run away.
Boom!
The owner of the tower and the crown prince appeared in front of them roughly.
Perhaps Clie’s pain made it difficult for them, but they were looking at me with tired but annoyed eyes.
“What are you doing?”
“I heard you have a cure for blood clotting disease.”
It was clear what Clie said. But they didn’t bring up the story of ‘earrings’.
That’s right. It would be a big deal if I found out that earrings are the only cure.
If it were Clie, I wouldn’t have told the male protagonists about it either. They must have been unreliable because they were only obsessed with it.
The Master of the Mage Tower opened her mouth.
“You must have said at the Blessing Meeting that there is no cure for such ailments. Was that a lie?”
Don’t you think Clie’s words are lies?
I am full of energy. To them, Clie’s words were everything, and it was an essential order to follow.
I could feel their eyes filled with madness. However, there were many ways out of the situation.
Rather, it was a win-win situation for me. The perfect situation to throw them the first bait for a plan you’ve had in mind.
“There is a cure that I found out after listening to the Mage Tower Lord and reading the family book recently.”
“I see. Let’s go to the imperial palace first.”
The prince drew his sword. It’s not over yet More than that, ⋯ she pulled out a sword while saying let’s go to the imperial palace.
Anyway, there is no one else. Still, I had to admit that momentum.
The Crown Prince and the Magic Tower Master were achieving tremendous growth, befitting the male protagonists in the novel. If a long time passes, you will have the ability to look down on the world.
So it was necessary to make my plan a success and get them away from Clie.
“It takes quite a long time to produce a cure for blood clotting disease.”
“Stop the bullshit, right?”
“It’s not bullshit. In fact, I was preparing the ingredients for the cure.”
They glared at me in disbelief. But I had the advantage in this situation.
“If you don’t believe me, I can share a conversation with a woman named Clie. There won’t be enough time to make a cure.”
If it was now, Clie would probably be unconscious. It’s probably the worst time for blood clotting disease.
“How long does it take to make a cure?”
“Four days from preparing the ingredients. And manufacturing takes about four days.”
It was enough time for Clie to die. As the owner of the mage tower and the crown prince, it was a remark that had no choice but to be in a hurry.
“What? Once you pass the cure…”
“I hate passing on the secrets of my family even to death.”
“Ha!”
The prince grabbed the sword, but it was only for a moment. I was the first one now that Claire was taken hostage.
“Above all, my manufacturing will be the fastest. That’s what I guarantee.”
“Eight days is too long. Cut it down to five days.”
It is also easy to handle. Now that Clie is caught, it’s to the point of showing me a little courtesy.
“It is possible if you help me find the ingredients.”
“What is that material?”
“There are two most difficult ingredients. I need the juice of the royal cactus from the Alcala Desert and the blood of the Vanil Bear from the Puel area.”
All of these materials were extremely difficult to obtain. Because the place was either too hot or too cold.
But if it were them, they would go get the ingredients themselves. There was no way the male protagonists would yield their actions for Clie to others.
“I will try to get it within today.”
“No. You should bring the ingredients near the end of the Imperial Festival. They are ingredients that lose their magical power over time.”
In fact, they were materials that were not needed at all, but they were known in advance for reliability. In reality, they were materials that would lose their magic over time.
‘Ah, is it necessary?’
Because I was harassing them and eating them.
I thought of it while enduring the evil smile that was about to be made.
The conversation ended with a bloody threat to destroy the Baslet family and the Azbel family if the cure was not produced in time.
My plan to punish them has taken a step forward.
* * *
I met Duke Sael and Jespen again. Duke Jespen dropped out to give me and Shael time.
Even though not much time had passed since they had been separated from Sael, the corners of her mouth went up in delight as soon as she saw him.
Shael was the opposite of me. Rather, unlike me, Shael was building a cow.
“What happened?”
“There was. Something very big happened.”
It shouldn’t have been anything serious. Duke Jespen must have been by Shael’s side.
Bona mana, you must be mad at me for going somewhere alone.
“I’d better go soon. Is there a place you want to go?”
No answer came. When I checked Sael’s gaze, he was looking at the envelope I was holding.
They were items from the black market. Items I couldn’t put in because the magic bag was already full of desserts.
“What are those things?”
“I happened to buy it.”
“With your money?”
Her conscience was pricked, but she struggled to nod her head. He said he would give it to her if she got down on her knees, so it’s not like I stole something for no reason.
Actually, I felt sorry, but I couldn’t help it. I didn’t know what would happen if I couldn’t buy something and my plans went awry.
I just prayed for forgiveness in my heart.
“Eat….”
Did they think I spent too much? Seeing the heap of items piled up, Shael let out a sigh.
But that wasn’t the end. There were still things to buy. It was a protective magic tool that could be purchased in the imperial palace.
A whopping 5 million gold. I gave up at a price that took my breath away, but it wasn’t impossible now that I’ve saved so much money.
I wish I could save a little more money.
I looked at Shael with thoughts.
‘Do you want to lend me money?’
She sent her earnest eyes to Shael. Did you notice my gaze? Shael was pulling something out of her.
“Look at this.”
“Is this a photo?”
It was a picture of a woman.
“Ah, this person…”
“Looks like someone you know?”
There was no way I didn’t know. The photo Shael pulled out contained the woman she had seen at the gambling house a while ago.
He was the hogu of the hukou who gave me money and robbed me of my things.
“I know.”
“How was your relationship?”
Suddenly taking out a photo and asking about the relationship. It was necessary to find out what Shael meant by asking this question.
Sael has no friends and no social skills. So she couldn’t be friends with the woman in the picture.
‘Did they get into a fight while I wasn’t there?’
Anyway, it was obvious that Sael and the woman in the picture were on bad terms. It was a fact that could be known just by looking at Shael’s crumpled face.
“First of all, you should tell me what kind of woman this woman is rather than a relationship.”
A creepy voice. I realized that I must always answer well. At the same time, this was also an opportunity.
An opportunity to score points for Shael by slandering and slandering the woman in the picture.
In reality, she was a ruthless woman, so she had no reason to feel guilty.
After thinking and thinking for a while, Sael came up with an answer she would like the most.
“It was Hogu.”
“Ho, gu?”
“She was a woman with a bad personality and a bad way of speaking.”
“⋯.”
Shael built a cow. She must have bent the corners of her mouth trying to hide her improved mood.
She was convinced of this, and for Shael’s sake, she tore her woman to her heart’s content.
“What about the atmosphere?”
“Just being around made me feel bad. It was to the point of being considered fortunate that she hadn’t drawn her sword.”
Actually, it wasn’t that much. I could have said anything to make Sael feel better.
Shael’s face stiffened. She was the Shael when she was holding back her smile.
‘Is this enough?’
No. She still lacked I decided to curse her poor hukou more for her sake.
“Suddenly, he even looked at me with a shady gaze.”
“Shame…”
“It was very creepy. This is what social churches call gaze molestation. I suffered from that.”
“Gaze molestation⋯.”
“My heart still trembles⋯. I guess I’ll have to spend my money and make up my mind.”
Shael turned her head. It was to hide her expression.
Bona Mana, it was clear that she was smiling enough to tear the corners of her mouth.
In other words, Shael’s mood was at its peak because I had slandered the woman in the picture.
Even if that wasn’t the case, Shael felt her resentment towards her woman, and it was obvious that she had sympathy for me.
At this rate, wouldn’t she be able to borrow her money from Shael so she could buy that expensive protective horse tool?
No, I’m sure it’s possible.
Sael is the daughter of the wealthy Azbel family, and she has accumulated a lot of money since she hasn’t been out since she was young.
“By the way. I have something to write about, so could you lend me some money?”
Alas. It was a mistake. It would have been better to ask than to borrow.
If it were Sael anyway, she wouldn’t spend the money, and even if she did, it was obvious that she would spend it in strange places. The Baslett family was also very poor.
So it was when he made eye contact with Shael with pitiful eyes and tried to entice her to ask for pocket money.
“Shael?”
Contrary to my expectations, I felt Shael’s stare cold enough to freeze her heart.
In the end, all of her money she took from Hogu was confiscated by Shael.
