Arsien couldn’t believe his eyes. No matter how I looked at it, Sarah’s handwriting was correct. There was no way I was mistaken.

For some reason, after Sera became unable to speak, they started talking by writing, and what he saw every day was Sera’s handwriting.

But that familiar handwriting. Sarah’s handwriting. Why is it written there? why? It also has malicious content written like that, right?

“What the hell… … . Why on earth… … !! Sera!! Say something!! It’s a lie, right? Tell me it’s a lie!!”

I couldn’t understand. Sarah. I couldn’t believe he said something like that.

He couldn’t believe it even more because it was Sarah who had smiled at him until yesterday, or even just now.

Arsien looked at Sera and clung to her. Like a person hanging from a cliff, he clung desperately.

“Sera, I believe not. excuse me. Are those guys lying? yes? Three, three. You smiled when I asked you to live with me and help me. You nodded your head! Well, was that all a lie? No, right?”

“… … .”

Despite Arsien’s heartbreaking pleas, Sarah did not say anything. No, exactly, I couldn’t speak even if I wanted to.

Her vocal cords were completely destroyed by tearing them out with her own hands that night when her mind was already broken.

Therefore, Sera could not say anything to Arsien’s plea, but instead responded by smiling.

“Sera… … ?”

Of course, that smile was not a friendly smile like usual. Arcien, who was suddenly hanging on, smiled as if he was having trouble.

When Arcien saw that smile, his head stood up at the thought that Sera might abandon him.

I thought I had finally gotten it out of Charlotte’s grasp. Wasn’t it? No, but the smile I saw back then… … .

Arsien was increasingly losing his senses in this embarrassing situation.

“No… … . That’s not possible!! Do not be ridiculous! What did you guys do to Sarah!! You guys too!! You guys are going to make Sarah like this!? Otherwise, there’s no way Sarah would suddenly change like this!!”

Therefore, he denied this entire situation. I started to write off everything as a lie and blame it on others.

Earningstern, who was watching this, felt that the time was right and gave a signal to his junior, who nodded and approached Sarah.

Arsien gritted his teeth as he glared at the junior who ignored him and headed towards Sera, but the junior ignored him and approached Sera.

“Sera Petra.”

“… … ?”

Sarah blinked as she saw her junior suddenly approaching her.

And the junior who came in front of Sarah looked straight into Sarah’s eyes.

“You are arrested as an accomplice of Arcienne La Rochelle and prime suspect in the poisoning of Derquel La Rochelle.”

“――!!!”

Another bomb exploded.

At this moment, those in the restaurant could not say anything.

Because so many things happened at once, there was a delay in recognizing and accepting them all.

“!!”

“We will discuss the details before going to the court. Since all the evidence has already been found in your room, anything you say from now on may be detrimental to the trial.”

Sarah glared at her junior with wide eyes, and when the junior tried to grab Sarah’s wrist, she shook off her hand and stepped back.

“You don’t seem to understand, so I’ll show you the evidence I found in your room.”

The junior said so and took out a piece of paper from his pocket and showed it to me.

[Now there is no need to make drugs anymore. Because the matriarch will die this time. And please keep this matter quiet no matter what.]

It was clearly Arsien’s handwriting, and several people who recognized the owner of the handwriting sighed and looked at Arsien.

Of course, it was crazy for Arsien, who had never written a letter, let alone sent a letter to anyone, because he was so focused on research.

And the moment Sarah saw that letter, her body trembled.

‘The lady sent–the order… … !?’

Sarah recalled something she received in a letter not long ago.

From that day on, this was the first and last letter sent by Charlotte, who had told me to write a letter every day.

[Sera. From now on, I will move to eliminate Arsien who threatens me. So I really need your help.]

[From now on, all letters to you will be sent in Arsien’s handwriting. So keep all those letters in your room.]

[Later, it will be a stepping stone for dealing with Arcien.]

Sarah, who came to her senses after feeling as if she had been hit hard with a hammer, chewed her lips and pulled out her hair.

‘Come to your senses, Sarah Petra. Why, why did I become like this? I just wanted to take care of the lady. Why was it abandoned? ‘What did I do wrong?’

Sarah, who was rolling her eyes back and forth and continuing her thoughts, remembered the words written at the end of the letter.

[Oh, and burn this letter as soon as you open it. Also, you must not tell anyone about the contents of this letter. got it?]

Charlotte’s measures to not leave any information about herself.

[I believe in you, Sarah.]

A vicious move to use Sarah as an outcast.

Sarah, who remembered all of that, did not feel angry or embarrassed. I felt goosebumps all over my body when I remembered that this was all Charlotte’s plan.

‘Could it be that you made me like this for this purpose? From the beginning, you thought you would abandon me… … ?’

Sarah, whose thoughts reached that point, shuddered at the endless malice and grabbed her junior by the collar.

“Ah… … !! eww–!! Ugh, uhhh――!!”

‘I’m not. It’s not me!! please. Please listen to me please!!!’

I screamed so loudly that my throat was torn and the foul smell of blood rose from my throat.

With his already damaged vocal cords, he could only make animal-like cries.

“Please understand that actions that pose a threat to investigators do not benefit you. Oh, oops. Hmm. Please know.”

‘That’s not it. That’s not it. please. It’s okay just this once, so please!!! Please let me speak properly just once, just once!!’

“Ah, ah… … !! Hmm… … . Aaaaa!!”

Seeing Sera struggling to the point where it was close to a seizure, Arsien remembered the image of Sera from the past howling like an animal and covered her ears.

Earningstern looked at Sarah’s pleading face and frowned.

“Sinaera, calm down and take a look at that necklace that maid is wearing.”

“Yes? Ah, yep! I understand!”

“Aaaah――!! Gaaa――!!!”

The junior tried to suppress Sarah’s rampage and looked at the necklace she was wearing around her neck.

However, no matter where you looked, the necklace looked like an ordinary necklace and there was nothing unusual about it.

“Open, it’s an ordinary necklace!!”

“Huh――Hhh!!!”

“Damn… … ! There must be a reason why he suddenly has a seizure like that… … . Just hold on to it for now. I’ll take a look.”

The junior quickly subdued Sarah, and Earningstern removed the necklace from Sarah’s neck to examine the struggling necklace.

“… … !!!”

However, what Earningstone overlooked was that the necklace Sarah was wearing was a necklace with a curse of belonging attached to it.

Why is a curse called a curse?

” Stick… … !!”

“What… … !!”

“Aaaa!!”

Sarah, whose necklace fell off her neck, was trembling from the intense pain that raced through her entire body, and her mouth was foaming with blood.

Earnings Stone and his junior saw this and looked at Sarah’s body in astonishment.

“Damn it! Why are you doing this all of a sudden!? no way… … . Because of this necklace… … !?”

After thinking quickly, Earningstern quickly put the necklace back on, but the curse, which had already been activated, had no intention of stopping and ate away at Sarah’s body. At a very fast pace.

“Gaaa!! Haha… … .”

‘Arsien… … . Arcienne La Rochelle… … ! Just you… … . If only you weren’t there… … !!’

Sera felt her mind being torn apart by the terrible pain, and she gritted her teeth and glared at Arsien with bloodshot eyes.

However, it wasn’t because he thought Arsien was the real culprit, but because he couldn’t find someone to vent his anger on, he ended up pointing at the person closest to him.

“Grrr… … . Crumbling… … .”

‘Lady Charlotte, there is no reason for you to abandon me… … . There wouldn’t have been… … !!’

Arsien, who covered her ears but did not close her eyes, took a step back as she saw Sarah glaring at her while twisting her body.

I was afraid. I was scared, but I couldn’t take my eyes off. I couldn’t turn my head or roll my eyes, as if something was holding me down.

“Why, why are you looking at me like that… … . You’re looking at me… … . not me. I didn’t do anything wrong… … .”

Arsien, who was trying to deny it and was retreating, caught the eye of Serah’s lips moving for the last time.

[I will curse you]

“Why… … ?”

In a situation that was far beyond his understanding, Arsien let out a laugh without even realizing it.

And Earningstern and his junior, who were so close to Sarah that they could not see her lips properly, read something completely different from those lips.

[curse]

“Curse… … ? no way… … .”

Earningstern turned his head and looked at Arcien.

And at the same time that he saw Arsien smiling at Sarah, Earnest looked at his junior and shouted.

“Sinaera! Catch it!”

“Yep!!”

“Ha… … . haha… … . Ahaha… … .”

In this way, the real culprit of the Rochelle family poisoning case was caught, and the case was put to rest.

It left a strange feeling of uneasiness.

* * *

“In the previous episode, the two people who were unable to live with each other died, but in this episode, they completely separated and ended with one hating the other… … .”

After breaking the link with the shapeless familiar for the last time, watching Arsien being arrested by a junior investigator, I slowly opened my eyes.

A black room without a single light, a loud scream coming from below, and the smell of medicine that stings your nose.

“Really, it’s the best morning.”

I laughed sarcastically at the situation below, then slowly got up from my seat and stretched my neck.

Is it because I’ve been in the same position for a long time with my eyes closed? My eyes were sore and my body was quite stiff.

“It’s a B-grade movie with a running time of 40 hours… … . Ha, I don’t know who planned it, but it’s really the worst.”

Oh, is that me? I laughed at myself and walked over to the window and pulled back the curtains.

I was greeted by a dark sky that did not even let in the moonlight due to thick clouds.

“Have you cleared all the obstacles now? … .”

No. There was just one remaining obstacle.

I slowly blinked and closed my eyes, remembering the person who was smiling a twisted smile as he watched Sera cough up blood and Arcienne being destroyed.

“Priscilla de Arbel… … .”

You’re next.
