This water and bread look delicious.
Fyrel eats without suspicion, but after one bite, his power activates and tries to save him from death.
Hmm... is this food poisoned? Don't tell me... He looks at the maid, but her innocent face makes him doubt she would do such a thing.
It's not that hard to find the spy... right, maid?
The maid remains professional, unfazed by Fyrel's words.
Did you find it already, Your Honor?
Maybe... He stands from his seat and moves to the sofa where guests usually sit. In front of him is a wooden table.
Can you sit on this wooden table? Fyrel orders his maid.
The maid, without a word, simply obeyed. She sat politely on the table as instructed.
Hmm... Now, can you spread your legs on the table?
She nodded and immediately complied, spreading her legs, allowing Fyrel to see the gap between them, covered only by her underwear.
He watched her face, but there was no sign of embarrassment. Alright, that's enough. You may leave now.
The maid stood up, gave a slight bow, and headed toward the door.
Kill her, Ryn.
From behind, a dagger flew swiftly toward the maid—but she dodged it with surprising speed.
I didn't know our maid was this strong. Sorry, just joking. Should we talk about it ?
The maid calmly sat back down on the sofa.
How are you still alive after eating my poison, Your Honor?
I don't know why I didn't die… Maybe God still loves me? He chuckled lightly.
She nodded. How did you know it was me?
Fyrel took a sip of the water she had served earlier.
Instinct. A maid—or any woman—would never do something like that unless she truly loved someone… or was forced to. Even if I ordered you to sleep with me, you'd do it, wouldn't you? As long as it completes your mission.
"I thought you were a fool...Seems my mission has failed."I'll have to destroy this village, then. She spoke calmly, as if discussing the weather.
Well maybe your words is right, I am indeed stupid. Also, you should add that the real villain is me... I will make this world's humans feel the pain of loving... the pain of being cheated... the pain of being left behind. That is how the world I will make..
Where the love rises again... The world where humans will do anything for their love and betray each other...
She quickly pulled out a knife and stabbed toward Fyrel's throat.
And I am here to stop all your plans—in the name of Remiol.
Pap... pap... Fyrel grabbed her maid's breast, as if not taking her words seriously.
Don't you feel anything when I touch here?
She shook her head, but something in her heart was a feeling she had never experienced before. But she had already learned how to control her face.
You sure about that...? He's holding it really tight this time...
The maid quickly moved backward. The uneasy feeling in her heart made her restless...
He smiled. I'll let you go and tell Remiol—or whatever—that I'll take over their country and prepare for war. This war will be The Beginning of Love (I).
Oh, and also, I've already removed the curse on you. Have fun falling in love with yourself. Maybe you'll realize that you've just been... used. You can come back if you want to feel it again—maybe even more from me. He winked at her.
She leaped toward the window in the room and jumped down. He simply watched from above, smiling as he saw the maid running away.
Ryn, who had always been in the room, finally spoke.
Why did you let her go, Master...?
I won't kill a human, no matter what, right before my eyes... Even if it means I'll be the one to fall instead.
You're too kind, Master... I wasn't wrong to choose you. Ryn then vanished again.
Bullshit... It's because I can't kill them. This stupid power is really annoying. I don't know why the Goddess wants to take the hardest path...he grumbled inwardly.
This night, they sure wanna take that head... Another disaster will happen...
In a distant palace...
In a magnificent palace... in a grand hall, there was a throne occupied by a powerfully built man, and beside him stood an advisor—a bespectacled man holding a book.
The doors swung open as a man sprinted toward them and immediately dropped to his knees.
King... I bring terrible news... The village we've been protecting—something has happened there...
The King, upon hearing this, gestured for him to continue with a wave of his hand.
The man obeyed, his breath ragged. There's someone calling themselves a new prophet... and they've done something disgusting—they've hung heads on the flagpole.
The bespectacled man finally spoke.That's not even the worst news... Just let them do what they want.
But the man, still panting heavily, added—
It's an Angel... The Nocturne.
The King's grip on his throne tightened the moment he heard Angel.
Are you sure you didn't mistake what you saw?
Yes... I saw it with my own eyes. Our spies have confirmed it.
The bespectacled man smiled.
This new prophet... was interesting. You can go now..
That man left the hall, and two of them spoke to each other...
We will surely have a problem with Remiol, King. He will force us to take the head, and I don't think we can do that. This prophet—I don't know if he's stupid or a genius for making the angel angry...
The king remained silent, not a single word came out of his mouth... Then he rose from his throne.
We will wait and see what happens and follow the angel's instructions... But I'm 100% sure he will force us to take back the head. Prepare the team for tonight.
The bespectacled man just nodded, but he also couldn't hide his smile from earlier...
Meanwhile, in the village... Everyone was already preparing—locking their doors and stopping all nighttime activities. Only one light remained in the village, and it was...
In the area where the angel's head hung.
