09. Erable made direct eye contact with Dezeb. ‘...Huh.’ She fumbled a little in her thoughts. ‘Why is he... uh, why is he here?’ It seemed like he had returned from his trip. It had only been a few days..., well, she hadn’t forgotten about it at all. Exactly nine days had passed. Nine days since he had left, and now... Why was he here? His residence wasn’t even in this direction. As her mind scrambled with confusion, she heard him call her…-

Episode 20 Thwack— Unable to contain his emotions, Aydin grabbed Russelin’s delicate wrist roughly. “Let go of me!” “If you were so displeased, you should have said so.” “…You…” “Come with me. I’ll make sure you never speak that man’s name again.” Spouting incomprehensible words, Aydin began to drag Russelin somewhere. As he pulled her along with his rough grip, Russelin noticed a figure in the distance. “Oh my, you’re both here together? I was…-

Episode 19 ‘…This is a problem.’ The resolve not to get swept up in Leonard’s pace had long since crumbled. Russelin subtly clutched the hem of her dress with trembling hands. Leonard noticed and lightly tapped her tightly clenched hand. The unexpected touch made Russelin flinch involuntarily. “While I admire the courage it took to call me here, I find it rather displeasing.” “What… do you mean?” As a shadow crossed Russelin’s face, Leonard stepped closer and handed…

Episode 18 Before Russelin could finish her provoking words, Aydin seized her wrist roughly. "Ugh! A-Aydin!" "Stay still." Despite Russelin's short gasp of pain, Aydin pushed her against the wall. Holding her down physically was no easier to endure than the emotional shackles he’d placed on her. Trapping Russelin under his shadow, Aydin growled. “I waited quietly, and now you say things you never dared before.” “…You.” “The priestess belongs to the protector.…

Episode 17 “...Are you wary of me, Celia?” “What did you say?” At Russelin’s unexpected question, Celia frowned, displeased. In that moment, Russelin felt her heart sink reflexively. ‘...That expression is exactly the same.’ It was the same look she had when she plunged the blade into me. That indifferent face that only twisted with displeasure when irritated. Russelin felt a dull ache in her chest, making her momentary resolve to confront Celia feel…

Episode 16 Since that day, Russelin had been plagued by an inexplicable sense of pressure for days. Aydin's sudden obsession with keeping her bound to the Bert family, and even Celia, who subtly warned her without Aydin's knowledge. Here, everyone seemed eager to devour her for their own reasons, a realization that struck her as odd for only now noticing. ‘I have to escape. If I delay any longer, it’ll be dangerous.’ Sitting at a small table in her bedroom, Russelin wore a hardened…

Episode 15 "…I can see a faint blue aura around you, my lady." "Around me?" It wasn’t until Russelin heard Lily’s words that her expression mirrored her maid's surprise. When it came to a blue aura, only one possibility came to mind. After receiving Aydin's magic, her body had felt strangely light, as if unburdened. "…Is it still visible?" "Yes. But it’s so faint, I feel it could disappear at any moment…" Russelin looked down at her hand slowly. As Lily had said, a faint…

Episode 14 "…Chocolate?" Russelin's face went blank, as though in disbelief, at the unexpected item that Leonard had offered her. Leonard tilted his head in mild confusion. "Do you dislike sweets?" "No, it’s not that…." Russelin couldn’t bring herself to tell him he had missed the mark. The important thing right now wasn’t something sweet like chocolate. "Why are you giving this to me?" "You said you had a headache." "And that’s why you’re giving it to me?" "Sweets…

Episode 13 "Stop." In the midst of the tense standoff, a low voice intervened. With it, a powerful presence settled over them, pressing down on both of them. The energy was dark, intense, as if to announce its formidable and dangerous nature. The thick, clashing magic from both men was gradually swallowed up by the sudden presence, fading away as if devoured. In an instant, the volatile tension was dispelled. A familiar figure stepped between them. "As I thought, bringing the two of…

Episode 12 '…Since when has Aydin looked at me like that?' What she had once thought were indifferent eyes hiding affection now held a faint hint of anger. Though it wasn’t directed at her directly, it always seemed connected to her in some way. For the first time, Russelin took a step toward Aydin. "Aydin, to you… what am I…?" What kind of existence was I to you? The words lingered in her mouth, unable to leave. Was she afraid of hearing his answer? Or maybe… 'Perhaps…
