6 – Scene 006# Wendy’s Passion
*
In the carriage back to the mansion.
Wendy couldn’t tell whether the trembling was the carriage or her own body.
‘I did… I did it!’
Wendy followed Tristan to visit the Duke of Isaac Hell.
Originally, that was an important job that an exclusive butler or exclusive maid should do.
But for some reason, Tristan asked Wendy, the youngest member of the mansion, to follow him.
no. no. The important thing now was not that, but the fact that I had made a mistake.
Wendy always makes mistakes, but today she made a big mistake.
I ended up spilling tea in front of the lady of Duke Isaac Hell.
Truly the mistake of a lifetime.
‘Ugh! This babu worm… ! What did you say!’
Wendy blamed herself.
Fortunately, the lady of the duke was a very kind person.
It wasn’t enough that he forgave me, because he said he would pay for the spilled tea.
The problem was Tristan.
Even if the princess forgives, Tristan will not forgive her.
I will definitely punish you.
Wendy had to make up her mind.
The hand resting on the knee was strong.
‘But… .’
While certain of such misfortune, Wendy somehow remembered what had happened during the day.
-Are you okay? Are you not hurt?
That kind word.
Words that the usual Tristan would never say.
‘Black… . If it was that ghost… .’
Wendy was more afraid of Tristan than ghosts.
A ghost that looked just like Tristan, but was kind.
I’d rather be punished when I’m a ghost.
No, if you’re really lucky, you might pass.
Wendy mustered up her courage and decided to put her hopes on the line.
“I-I… .”
“Wendy.”
“Sorry, sorry! Please punish me so and so!”
It couldn’t be either.
The moment Tristan called her name, Wendy realized.
A low voice with characteristic arrogance and anger.
It must be Count Tristan, the tyrant she serves.
The best Wendy could do was preemptively punishing her.
“… You mean bee?”
Muttering that, Tristan pulled something out of his bosom.
It was a short whip.
It was a tool he used to beat his servants.
Wendy made up her mind.
“… … ?”
But no matter how long I waited, the blow didn’t fly.
There was only Tristan’s murmur.
“I don’t like it.”
“?!”
In the next moment, Wendy doubted her own eyes.
Tristan threw the whip out of the carriage.
Then he looked down at the embarrassed Wendy and said.
“Looks like a beating will no longer be useful to you.”
“Yes… ?”
Wendy became anxious.
Looking up, Tristan’s eyes were coldly looking down at her.
A look in her eyes as if she knew exactly what she was thinking.
Ah, if that’s the case… .
Wendy lowered her head.
My forehead was rubbed against the carriage floor, but I didn’t care.
“Sometimes, you can hit me. It’s okay to curse at me and slap me on the cheek. But please… Please don’t kick me out. Please don’t send me back home… .”
Wendy begged.
After all, the owner knew in advance.
What is she most afraid of?
Tristan said in a terrifyingly cold voice.
“I don’t like you.”
Wendy’s shoulders twitched.
“Doesn’t he cry when he’s tired, he has a lot of minor illnesses, and he’s so skinny that he has no strength?”
Wendy couldn’t help but tremble on the spot.
I couldn’t move, overwhelmed by Tristan’s quiet fury.
“Tell me. What the hell am I supposed to use you for?”
It was all Wendy’s misunderstanding.
Tristan hasn’t changed.
Rather, he became more vicious.
Because now I was holding on to her heart.
Wendy said in a hoarse voice.
“I, for me… I have a family. please… Count… please keep working… .”
“That is none of my business.”
“Bae, whatever the Count says… . I’ll do anything… .”
“Are you willing to do anything?”
At that, Tristan sneered.
“Funny. What can you do? break the plate? Fall down right? Or spilling expensive tea like today?”
“… … .”
“Wendy. answer me.”
“Huh… . Well, if you can do anything… . I’ll do my best… .”
Wendy’s face was already covered with tears and mucus.
From the moment I lowered my head, 1 second felt like 1 minute.
Tristan’s mouth was tightly shut.
Even the moment the carriage arrived at its destination stopped.
Then he slowly got up.
“decided.”
“Heeep?!”
“I have determined the punishment for you.”
When Wendy looked up, Tristan was about to get out of the carriage.
As if to leave her behind.
‘Please don’t abandon me… .’
It was the moment Wendy was about to beg again.
“please….”
“You will be my exclusive maid from now on.”
“I-I can do anything… … yes?”
Exclusive? exclusive maid? who?
Wendy was not following the story.
Tristan sighed.
“Didn’t you say you would do anything? You will become my exclusive maid from now on.”
“Yes… . yes?! me? Ha, but!”
“If you can’t, I will kick you out.”
“Hee!? Ha, I will!”
Wendy quickly shook her head.
The youngest member of the mansion overnight became the owner’s exclusive possession.
I couldn’t tell if it was a dream or real life.
‘But why?’
Wendy didn’t understand at all.
Tristan had already gotten off the carriage.
“What are you doing without getting off quickly?”
“Yes, yes!”
I hurriedly looked down and saw that the sun had already set.
Tristan’s thick shadow was cast over the dark Ruelberta mansion.
Wendy asked cautiously at the shadow.
“Bae, Count… . Why, why do you want to make me an exclusive? ?”
“Because it is easy.”
“Yes?”
“Because that side is easy to annoy you.”
Tristan turned his head and smiled.
Just like a boy discovering a fun toy.
“You will put it next to me and cook it yourself.”
It was the moment when Wendy’s ordeal began.
*
Ever since I was possessed by this game, I’ve been thinking about it all along.
How to survive here as Tristan, whom everyone hates and hates.
It’s a fantasy world, so why not use magic?
I want to too.
But what… .
Unfortunately, Tristan is unable to use magic due to a curse passed down from generation to generation.
A very long time ago, Ruelberta was a very poor aristocratic family.
The head of Ruelberta at the time, who hated the poverty, made a deal with the devil.
That is the content… .
To make the Ruelberta family the richest person in the country.
The devil granted Dangju’s wish, blinded by greed.
The territory of Ruelberta was revitalized day by day, and every business he started was victorious.
But the cost of the contract was high.
Those whose blood flows from Ruelberta were cursed to be born with no magical powers.
In the end, Ruelberta became rich enough to live on for generations, but the grandfather, father, and grandson all became magical eunuchs.
When I heard about this setting from my younger sister Sora, I thought I was dying of laughter.
Now I’m high on magic
Is it self-employed?
I am so grateful to my brother that I am on the verge of tears.
However, this body does not have outstanding physical abilities.
This indolent body has gained weight, to the point of sweating even at rest.
In fact, it is a character abandoned by the author.
No matter how they manage to survive, the invasion of the players remains.
I know how cruel and ruthless they were.
Surviving like this is almost impossible.
Unless you mess with the settings.
yes.
Again, there was only one way.
“Count. Im here.”
“Well.”
did it arrive
The first thing I felt when I got off the wagon was the strong smell of grass.
What appeared before my eyes was a huge forest.
‘It’s like a fortress.’
The endlessly stretched trees looked like giants holding spears.
“You are here. count.”
When I turned my eyes, Bella was there.
She was staring at me, retaining the beauty of the original.
“yes.”
“Yes Yes. By the way… Are you here alone?”
Bella glances at the wagon expectantly.
I know roughly who you’re looking for.
Because when she sees cute things, she can’t use her legs.
“The servant has been left behind. You still need an education.”
“Huh… . I wasn’t too curious. I was just trying to make sure you weren’t bullying the kid. anyway… . You said you were sick, but aren’t you faking it? You look very healthy.”
“Originally, the more severe the disease, the less obvious it is on the outside.”
“… hehehe. Do you?”
As if fed up, Bella shook her head and said.
“This is the same place as the heart of the Duke of Isaac Hell. It’s not a place anyone can come to. It is a sacred place where a wicked man like you should not even come near.”
Well, I guess.
As a magician, I can understand it even if I see it.
That this is an unusual place.
‘They’re wary of me.’
The wind blowing from deep in the forest is sharp.
As if warning me not to step in.
Bella seems to have felt that too.
“… count. It’s not too late now, so why don’t we go back? You may come to recuperate and stay in a nursing hospital for the rest of your life.”
She informs me on behalf of the master of paradise.
That this is a really dangerous place for ‘someone like me’.
I opened my mouth.
“Bella.”
“Yes?”
“Do you still hate me?”
“Yes. I hate you.”
It was an immediate answer.
Emotions straight like a spearhead.
I asked her back without avoiding it.
“Are you so hateful that you want to kill me?”
“… … .”
Bella hesitated.
Hatred and resentment toward me seemed to pass through her mind.
And then she shook her head.
“Nope. If you did, I would have thrown you into this forest. I am not like you.”
Her eyes, as she said that, were very clear and beautiful.
So I was sure
That the Bella of these days had no intention of killing me.
“I warned the Count. You are responsible for whatever happens here. But… . You will never die.”
she promised me
He hates me, but he won’t kill me.
“As Isaachel’s daughter, I guarantee it.”
Bella took a deep breath.
And with magic in his voice, he shouted.
“I, Bella Isaachel, will recognize you as a visitor to Eden.”
The forest trembled.
as if turning on a stretcher.
It is to prepare to welcome uninvited guests who have come in broad daylight.
“Welcome to paradise. count.”
Bella smiled at me.
“I’m welcome, but I don’t know if this place will welcome you.”
I feel like an uninvited guest in many ways.
