218─The Sheep Swallowing the Wolf
Raindrops fell down her chin, running down her red hair, which was caked with sweat, dust, and blood.
“…… “
That horse must have injured his right leg.
Why was the left leg also buried so badly shattered?
Feedback was possible even from the corpse of an animal, so Lizzie concluded that it was definitely broken after death since her memories of the left leg were not fed back.
Animals’ memories are much more intuitive than humans’, so the possibility of being wrong is infinitely low.
Of course, it could have been broken due to the pressure of the vomit from the ground pressing down on the corpse.
But if that had been the cause, the humerus or ribs would have broken first.
Because the next hardest part after the skull is the bone located in the leg skeleton.
It is funny that bones that are not even broken are broken when the body has not even started to decay in the first place.
Then the remaining guess is……
The only guess that remains is that Fersen, who buried that horse, broke his left front paw himself.
But when Lizzy reached that conclusion, she unconsciously asked, “Why?” I ended up asking a question.
That’s because there didn’t seem to be any reason to do that.
But soon Lizzie had her own life, and that was her whole life.
She felt herself answering the question posed.
She is herself.
Her own family name.
When a vassal’s family was trampled on by him, was there a valid reason?
“…… “
Yes, there was no reason there.
The man named Fersen von Schweig Brutein must have been that kind of person to begin with.
But now I feel uncomfortable with that fact.
He himself suffered a fractured left leg eight years ago.
He suffered burns on both of his fingers a month ago.
The body of a horse stuck in that pit, with both front feet broken and struggling only with its hind feet……
The three events in a row seemed to indicate that it was not a coincidence but an inevitability.
Therefore, Lizzy listed those events in her mind, eliminated unnecessary points, and then went on to summarize his clear commonalities.
Then, the only thing left at the end is one conclusion: left-right symmetry.
“Dae, Ching…… “
Pondering that conclusion endlessly in his head, Lizzie clutched the dirt floor with her delicate hands.
When he ministered to the body, it was none other than Fersen who taught him that he must acquire various knowledge to increase the rate of realization.
Even if they are enemies of Cheolcheonji.
Because his level and experience were not false, Lizzy did not neglect his teachings.
And thanks to that, she was able to come up with one correct answer based on the conclusions drawn based on the medical papers and knowledge she had read in her spare time.
A disease in which one forces oneself to perform certain actions or thoughts in order to relieve certain anxiety that arises unrelated to one’s cognitive state, even though one knows that it is irrational.
To be precise, it is classified as a type of neurosis and its scientific name is OCD.
The general name is……
“Obsessive-compulsive disorder…… “
It is called
.
* * * * *
It seemed like she didn’t notice that her magical power was continuously depleting due to the corpse of the horse she was handling.
Lizzie, who had been sitting in place for a long time like a pumice stone, grabbed her body next to Beatle Beatle and lifted her body up.
She believed that there was no justifiable reason for what Fersen had done to her, to her own family, to her own house.
If there was a clear reason, there would be no reason not to say it.

“Ha, ahahahaha…… “
But now it turns out that the cause of mental illness was his, and the answer that was derived was showing the hidden truth.
He possessed a talent worthy of being called a genius, but why did he not become the head of the Brutein family?
I finally understand.
However, even if the obsessive-compulsive disorder was the cause of this evil relationship, Lizzy thought that it had gone too far to be justified.
If you were going to justify your actions.
That day, at the point when he broke his leg, he should have confessed everything and apologized.
The reason I didn’t do that was obviously because I didn’t want to leave a stain on the Brutein family.
He probably didn’t want to expose the evil that could even affect his life.
Even after time passes and you become an adult from a child.
Probably for the same reason, he stuck to that mindset until the end.
“So…… “
Fersen von Schweig Brutein.
You could never be a victim.
I couldn’t be that kind of villain who had a sad story.
To hide one’s sins and one’s weaknesses from this world.
With a woman.
With one family.
Isn’t it a “Choice” To trample on a family and ignore them?
“…… “
When he said that he felt a little guilty, it seemed like he wasn’t entirely wrong.
At least I found out that I am not a person who naturally enjoys such things.
And looking back on it, it means that it was not the wrong way to show him his miserable words instead of ending his life.
So Lizzy slowly returned to the camp with the body in her arms.
Ignore the sins he committed and bury them so they cannot be revealed.
If you want to live as a nobleman who is a pillar supporting the imperial family, a bloodline of the crown prince, and an object of envy.
He made it face to face, dug it out again, and imprinted it on him.
It will ruin a woman’s life, destroy a family, and make her live to the end as a criminal who killed a family.
Fersen.
Fersen von Schweig Brutein.
Just like himself, who is living such a miserable life while passing it on to his brothers, thinking that they might be able to solve the problem.
No matter how much this world favors you.
‘There is no paradise where you run away…… ‘
* * * * *
Finch!
The troops under Fersen, who were eating their rationed meals, were startled and trembled when they saw Lizzie coming in, soaking wet from the pouring rain.
My hair, which had become scattered because I couldn’t wash it properly, was drenched in rainwater, dripping with clotted dirt and blood.
The unique purple eyes revealed through them seemed to be imbued with madness, and even those who had spent the most time with the corpse could feel an eerie chill.
“Is the Count inside?”
Suddenly, Lizzy, looking around, asks in a quiet voice that does not match her appearance from now on.
“Yeah, right…” … “
Those who were uncomfortable with her response quietly swallowed her saliva and gave her answer.
“I’m glad.”
A short answer.
After that, Lizzy, walking forward while holding the ministering body in her arms, closes Fersen’s tent set up inside the hut and enters.
And the members of the unit who were eating had no choice but to watch quietly from beginning to end.
It’s hard to stop by talking to him for a moment or grabbing his wrist……
It was like a knife without a handle, with edges on all sides, and I couldn’t figure out where to hold on.
* * * * *
“…… “
“…… “
She walks in without warning, and Fersen, who was eating her meal, puts down her cutlery and looks at her.
Is it because I am convinced that he is an obsessive-compulsive person?
I began to notice that the arrangement of surrounding objects also had a clear symmetry.
“What brought you here? And leaving without saying anything…… “
Tuk.
“…… “
Cutting her off, Lizzie dropped the pile of dirt she was holding in her delicate hands on the floor.
Of course, Fersen could not understand what Lizzy’s actions meant.
Is he simply here to vent his anger on himself? If not……
“If you want to have beautiful eyes, look at the good in other people.”
“…… “
“If you want beautiful lips, say kind words to others.”
“Are you here to have a philosophical debate?”
“For what you want to get, you must pay a reasonable price for it…… “You didn’t.”
A pillar supporting the imperial family, a bloodline of the crown prince, and an aristocrat who is the envy of everyone.
And a loving wife and a loving husband.
“For that…… What did you pay for?”
24 Years.
During that time, all you did was bury your sins and run away.
The unreasonable world gave you paradise.
“So…… “It’s time to come back.”
Lizzy raises her right hand and grabs the middle finger of her left hand.
Suddenly.
Dduduk!
“No! Ugh…… Ugh…… !”
Then, very slowly, he began to bend back.
The pain was so great that no matter how hard I bit my lip, a scream escaped through the gap.
Her bloodshot purple eyes also shed tears non-stop.
Snap──!
Eventually, with a noise that completely distorted the skeleton of her fingers, her middle finger was completely broken.
Fersen’s red eyes remained motionless for a while, clearly capturing the scene.
“Hmm…… “
And Lizzy, who had naturally thrown her head back and moaned in indescribable pain, slowly straightened her head……
“Ah…… Under…… Ah…… !”
She held out her forcibly trembling left hand to him, a clear sneer drawn across her miserable face, stained with tears and snot.
“…… “
At the same time, Fersen thought.
A man named Fersen von Schweig Brutein made up his mind.
The woman in front of me, Lizzy Paul Liana Claudia.
I must kill him.
