I quietly stare at Frey, who has been lying in bed for several hours and hasn’t opened her eyes.
“Hey, how did this happen…”
When I questioned him about what happened yesterday, he suddenly vomited blood and collapsed. What the hell kind of harmony is this?
‘Fray didn’t have a chronic illness…’
Looking back on his memories, he had never been so sick in the previous episode. Then, why did he suddenly vomit blood and lose consciousness in this episode?
‘…Does it have anything to do with what you do to me every night?’
As a result of observing him with the black magic ‘hidden gaze’ for the past few days, he was concentrating with his eyes closed for a long time with his hands on my stomach every night.
And then, with a tired look on her face, she strokes my cat, sighs, and tumbles back to her bed.
Since I can stay with him all day, I have observed him closely, but I haven’t noticed anything suspicious other than that.
So the bloody handprints on the bedsheets in the dorm, the blood he spit on me the last time he hit me and this morning, and my current unconsciousness, probably have something to do with what he does to me every night.
If so, what does he do to me every night?
Until recently, I had thought of it as an unidentified magic trick.
It was because I thought that if Frey had already been the Demon King’s confidant from this point on, there was a possibility that he could use some kind of black magic in my body to do evil things or to dedicate it to the Demon Lord.
If so, the reason my physical condition deteriorated so much in the previous episode must have been because he had been secretly doing that for a long time.
Frey Raon Starlight didn’t have the ability to improve my physical condition, but it had the ability to destroy it.
In the end, as Frey said when he attacked me, he didn’t think of me as a butler, a servant, or even a human… he just thought of me as a tool.
‘I should have…’
This has been my guess so far. However, because of what happened yesterday, that speculation began to shake.
Yesterday he appeared in a black robe and mask and saved me from the devil.
Rather than just trying to protect the tools and storage to extract black magic from, he suffered fatal wounds that were pierced in the back with a knife.
If he had treated me as a tool rather than a person as usual, it would have been something he would never have done.
‘…Besides, what was that strength?’
Frey Laon Starlight is weak. In the previous episode, he was known as a shame of the Starlights by people without knowing it.
This is because the ‘Star Mana’ handed down from the Starlight family could not be used properly, his martial arts skills were poor, and his magic power was close to zero.
However, he overpowered Isolet, who is called the next swordsman.
I woke up from fainting, so I only saw Isolet collapsing, but it was clear that Frey was holding his sword with a reversed edge at the time.
In other words, he was actually capable of defeating the next swordsman with a reverse-edged sword.
“…………..”
Looking at Frey, who was still quietly closing her eyes, I asked a question quietly.
“You, why did you protect me?”
“Why did you hide your strength?”
“And, why the hell did you cry so sadly?”
Asking a question of no return, this time I recalled what happened this morning.
Yesterday, I don’t know for some reason, but I left the cat doll I was hugging and sleeping on the desk, wondering if he might be careless and leave a clue, who likes my dolls.
When he put his hand on my stomach and vomited blood again while doing something, doubts were growing again, thinking that it was a hoax… But he was regretting it internally because of the lack of conclusive evidence.
“…Goyang-ah, a lot happened today.”
‘…Okay, you started talking to yourself.’
However, Frey, who was wiping the blood from the vomit on the floor, picked up the doll I had been holding and began to lament. That’s exactly what my intentions were.
“I can’t tell you all because it’s going to be late if I tell you all about what happened… I think I’ve almost passed the point where I almost died at least three times.”
‘…Is that man really Frey?’
So, when the suspicion that he is a masked man at the auction house, who tells the story that is supposed to be yesterday, grows even more…
“And… I also read a letter from my father that was sincere. At that time, I almost cried… I held it in. Because I was a hero.”
‘…Warrior?’
He came up with the word “a hero” out of nowhere. As he tilted his head inwardly for a moment at his words that he couldn’t understand, he suddenly muttered in a trembling voice.
“…Honestly, it’s hard. I think I’m going to die because it’s hard. What should I do? I’m in Yongsan. I have no choice but to work hard.”
‘…….!’
Saying that, Frey was in tears.
I shuddered for a moment at the so sad appearance that I had never seen before, but he just grabbed me and cried bitterly.
He held me and cried for a long time, and then he tumbled back to his bed, and thanks to that, I had no choice but to stay in the cat all night and think.
“…really, did everything have a reason?”
And after long nights of thinking, I came to a new hypothesis that there was a reason for every action he did.
The reason he cried bitterly, calling himself a hero, was because he looked so pitiful and lonely that it could not be explained except for that reason.
So, I tried to ask him the truth this morning.
Why do you do something to me every night, why you hide your strength, why you vomit blood on a fictitious day… And why do you have to do ugly things while being so lonely and sad.
However, when I asked about it, this happened.
‘…I don’t have time.’
From tomorrow onwards, I had decided to come up with a plan to bring down and kill Frey in earnest with the princess and the saint. So, we need to find out the truth about Frey Laon Starlight before it’s too late.
To decide whether to continue hating Frey and drive him to death, or to spare his life for his circumstances.
– Shoo…
With that thought in mind, I quietly reached out and summoned a large amount of black energy from subspace.
This black energy is black magic to use the ‘curse more terrible than death’, which he decided to give him on the first day of his return.

Ever since I assumed that Frey was stealing my black magic, I invested a significant portion of the black magic that had accumulated in my body every day and pushed it into the subspace.
If it’s true that he’s really stealing my black magic, it’s an act I thought that if I didn’t gather up my black magic and put it back in advance, even the black magic to use the curse would not be left in the future.
‘…If this is enough, it will be possible.’
From now on, I plan to use this black magic to infiltrate Frey’s unconscious and find out the truth.
Frey, who is a direct descendant of a star warrior, and has had absolute resistance to mind manipulation magic from the previous episode…
Since the space of the unconscious is literally an unknown space… If you resonate with black magic that has a similar energy to such a space and penetrate it, you can easily enter it.
Also, no matter how resistant to mental attacks, Frey would not even be aware of being penetrated, let alone react.
This is because this higher level of black magic is a magic that ‘visits’ the unconscious mind of the other person, different from a mental attack that ‘attacks’ the consciousness.
Of course, with such advantages, there are also disadvantages.
Unconsciously, I don’t know what will happen to me.
Since the medium that makes people visit the unconscious is the dark energy of ‘black magic’, the ugliness and dark things that a person has are materialized and pop out from all directions.
And the ‘manager’ I meet there will dazzle me and try to assimilate it into the unconscious forever.
Of course, since I’ve penetrated the human unconscious a few times, I know how to deal with or constrain the manager using magical powers…
– Shaah…
Recalling these precautions and pushing black magic into the unconscious Frey, I paused for a moment and started to ponder.
‘If you use this here, you will not be able to use a curse worse than death on him…’
This is my insurance that I have prepared for the eventuality. If I use all of this to infiltrate his unconscious… Even if I use all of my remaining life, I will not be able to cast that curse.
After thinking about it for a while, I finally pushed my energy back and muttered.
“…Even if it’s not the curse, there are many ways to get revenge.”
So, after I drained Frey with an amount of black magic that could be stable for the next few months, I quietly closed my eyes and began to resonate with his subconscious.
‘It’s a waste of black magic, but it doesn’t matter that I wrote mine anyway, well.’
So, feeling a little regret, I was sucked into his unconscious.
.
.
.
.
.
Something is wrong.
“…are the surroundings too bright?”
In the human subconscious, it is dark and all sorts of strange things must be floating around. However, this space has a bright and sacred atmosphere.
“Maybe, the magic failed… No, it can’t be.”
Crossing the threshold of death every day, he pushed in all the black magic he had accumulated. The technique was also perfect, and seeing that my black magic is resonating, this place is right in the subconscious mind.
If so, why is it so bright here?
“…that, over there.”
“……..!!!”
I looked around nervously with those thoughts in mind, but when I heard a human voice below me, I quickly backed away.
“…you?”
“Ah, hello sister…”
However, there was a little child in front of me.
I looked at the child suspiciously for a moment, then cautiously asked a question.
“…Are you the manager of the unconscious?”
“…yes!”
Then, the child answered with a bright smile.
“By the way, how did you get here…!”
“…Hold still.”
And in the next moment, I bound the little boy with magic chains.
“Collock! Colloc! Sue, I’m suffocating…!”
“………”
The kid… No, the young Frey looks quite pitiful and gasps, but he must never be vigilant in front of the unconscious manager.
If you are vigilant, you may get caught by the manager and be trapped in the unconscious of the other person forever. That’s because nine out of ten managers I’ve met so far have tried to do that.
“…don’t harm me. Don’t lie to me. Be sure to follow my orders.”
“Yes, yes…”
Therefore, in order to deal with the unconscious manager, the basic rule is to put a restriction on me from attacking me, a restriction on telling only the truth to prevent deception, and a restriction on obeying a command so that I can be suppressed with a single word in case of emergency. to be.
“…Hey!”
As I unleashed the chains, a young Frey, who had his butt wheel stomped on the floor, looked at me with fear and began to sneak back.
But, not pitiful at all.
He persecuted and abused me in that form when I first entered the duke’s residence. So, from my point of view, it just looks abominable.
“Answer my questions from now on.”
“…Yes, four!”
“…why did Frey protect me yesterday?”
When I asked a question, the young man rolled his eyes and then opened his mouth.
“…because I wanted to save you.”
“why?”
“Because you, dearly, are in danger of dying, Frey has tried to save you.”
“……?”
I don’t understand. Why the hell is he?
“…I don’t quite understand.”
“…yes?”
“Frey used me as a tool… and tried to use it. There’s no way he’d value me like that.”
“…isn’t it?”
Hearing my words, he tilted his head and answered.
“…Fray doesn’t think of you as a tool, nor does he use you.”
“………”
“…I rather loved it.”
“……..!”
Hearing that, I bit my lip.
“…where the hell do you think that’s love?”
“Uh, that’s…”
“If there’s anything he did because he loved me, tell me. Something I could understand.”
As I spoke in anger, the young man began to hesitate.
I gave him a cold smile and started sarcastic, but…
“Look at that, don’t you? He’s never treated me well, you hateful pretending to be nice kid. So, now, stop acting and do your own thing…”
“For example… in the previous episode and in this episode too, in order to save you, I shared my life force…”
“…what?”
When the little boy answered with a timid expression, I stopped what I was saying and asked again with a bewildered expression.
“…I have more than this, shall we continue?”
“…!”
And as I listened to his next words, I could feel it intuitively.
What was wrong was that it was actually me.
.
.
.
.
.
“…………..”
“I, over there… are you okay?”
mind is blank
I can’t believe the stories I heard from the young Frey, the manager of the unconscious.
The shocking reason why Frey loves me.
His destiny as a warrior.
A warrior’s armor that can only be awakened by committing evil deeds.
A world that will be destroyed by the Demon King if Frey destroys the world once and does not return.
Frey’s false evil character system.
and…
“So, in the end, Frey, who awakens the warrior’s armor, will clash with the Demon King.”
“………”
“In that battle, Frey defeats the Demon King using the warrior’s armor that has become fully empowered, but due to the side effects of the warrior’s armor that has been perfected, it’s not long before…”
“………stop.”
“…You will run out of all vitality. According to the words of the former warrior left in the Prophecy… After that, Frey, who was lying on the floor helplessly, was caught by the main heroines who only noticed everything and started crying… “
“…..stop it.”
“…Frey looked at them with a smile brighter than ever before, and then Tae…”
“……Stop it!!!!!”
“Ha, but…”
“I’m sorry… Please stop talking about that part… Please…”
“……..”
When I begged for it, young Frey was forced to shut his mouth by a pre-set magical constraint.
Of course, that child was only guilty of telling the truth… but I had no choice but to hear it anymore because it seemed like my mind would collapse and assimilate into the unconscious.
“…I have a question for you.”
“………yes.”
“When I killed myself in front of him in the previous episode… What was his reaction…?”
“…the fifth time in my life I cried.”
“…fifth?”
After crying for the fifth time, when I asked about other situations, young Frey slowly began to talk.
“The first was when Isolet was found chilled dead at the academy.”
“…I see.”
“Fray-sama, who lost his acquaintance for the first time, almost gave up on his plan of committing an evil deed in Hamata.”
“…second is?”
“The second time was when the Demon King’s army occupied the Imperial Castle, and Frey’s fiancée was killed by the Demon King in a battle to make time for the Princess to escape. All I had to do was bury her body in the ground.”
“The third… the third…?”
“The third time was when Irina Filiard left a mortal wound to the Demon King and was torn in all directions. At that time, not even a corpse was left… I just sat down in a place covered in blood and cried for a long time.”
“…and tell me the rest.”
“The fourth was when Perloche put the people on a ship and he died while staying on land to block the Demon King’s army. The fifth was when he sacrificed you and the princess himself with his own hands.”
“…under.”
I can’t even imagine how much mental pain he must have suffered. Did I dare call him disgusting in front of such a person and commit suicide?
“The seventh time… It was at the last supper I had with my father before I went to commemorate with the Demon King.”
“……..”
“At that time, Frey put the least painful poison into his father’s meal, and he ate quietly, when he suddenly looked at him and closed his eyes with a soft smile… he fell on the table and cried for a while.”
“…and, after having a friendship with the Demon King… and returning?”
“…Yes. And have you seen the eighth cry already?”
After Frey’s words were finished, a long silence passed.
“…Then, did you give me so much vitality that Frey is now unconscious?”
“……..”
“I thought it belonged to me, with the vitality that he gave to me until I lost consciousness, so I replaced it with black magic and just used it?”
“Uh, that’s…”
“Then you knew you were taking my life, and you hated him and planned to kill him… Really…”
“…that’s a system penalty.”
While I was laughing coldly and helping myself, a young Frey suddenly interrupted my self-talk.
“If a false evil character is found, lifespan and vitality will be greatly reduced. If that happens… the clear rate will also be greatly reduced…”
“Wow…!”
“…sister?”
Hearing that, I began to vomit.
disgusting
In the subject of an evil warlock with cursed magical powers, I fully used the life force he gave up while cutting his own life to save me.
I, who hated him so much and was desperate to kill him,
And, by activating the system penalty, which greatly reduced his lifespan and vitality, and even lowered the possibility of saving the world…
“Wow Whew… Whew Whew…”
With that thought, I fell on the floor and began to vomit over and over again.
“…don’t do that.”
However, Frey, a young boy, comes up to me, caresses my back, and says with a serious expression.
“Don’t hate yourself.”
“…What?”
“Because I’m the only one that’s hated.”
“……!”
As he said that, his brightly smiling appearance blended with the bright and sacred atmosphere around him, shining like a star.
After staring blankly at him for a moment, I intuitively realized that if I talked with the manager any longer, I would lose my mind and become assimilated into the unconscious world, and I raised my trembling hand and snapped my fingers.
“…In the end, there must be hope.”
So I went back to the dormitory room again, listening to his dreamy sound that could only be heard in a dream.
Frey still had her eyes closed.
.
.
.
.
.
“…Ugh.”
When I open my eyes, I see the dormitory ceiling.
Why is the dorm ceiling visible? Why is my mind so hazy again?
“…Young Master.”
“Kanya? Why are you… Ah.”
After flirting for a while, I found Kania standing in front of me with an expressionless expression and immediately froze.
‘…It’s ruined, this.’
I found out about my good deeds to Kania.
And the cost, it seems, was greater than expected.
“How long have I been like this?”
“…you’ve been like this all day.”
Hearing those words, I looked out the window and saw the birds chirping in the morning sunlight.
I tried to get my body up, but my body couldn’t.
“……………”
And, Kania is staring at me like that.
I tried to explain to her how this all happened… but soon changed her mind.
If she finds out all the truth, she will probably suffer from great guilt. Although it wasn’t intentional, it periodically used up my life and puts me in danger by triggering a system penalty.
Of course, from the beginning I was determined to carry everything by myself, so I’m not going to make her suffer by telling her that.
From now on, I will tell you a scenario where Kania will not feel guilty as much as possible in case the main heroines find out about her good deeds.
Suffering is enough for me alone.
“You must be wondering how this happened.”
“………”
“…Then tell me the truth.”
Having made up my mind like that, I looked at Kania coldly and said.
“…I used you.”
Then, a crack appeared in her expression.
Seeing how familiar it feels for some reason, I think it suits me to be hated.
