Don’t worry, your teacher will keep you safe.

But if you don’t follow what I say…I don’t know what will happen.

But if you keep quiet for a month, I’ll let you go free.

While walking towards her mansion, holding the hand of a woman named Athena.

I bit my lip as I recalled the things she had said to me.

‘…there’s no way he’s a good person.’

Athena threatened my master.

She could be in danger if she doesn’t follow her orders.

A person who says that can’t be a good person.

He’s probably a bad guy, a villain.

If she really was my marriage partner…

Maybe the reason I left with my memory lost was to escape from her.

“Hera. Don’t you like your expression?”

“I’m sorry..hehe..”

But I couldn’t show her any thorns.

Not only was her Master’s safety in her hands, but for some reason she couldn’t refuse what he said.

And above all.

– Disciple, you must never upset her. If you do, you will face an unbearable wrath!

The words the teacher spoke to me while worrying about me until the end.

For the time being, I had no choice but to follow the words of that evil woman named Athena.

While I was thinking like that, Athena and I arrived at the main gate of the mansion.

Then the knights in splendid golden armor bowed their heads to Athena.

“Welcome back, my lord.”

Two knights spoke in stern voices. One of them raised his head slightly and glanced at me, his eyes wide open in surprise.

“..Miss!”

One of them looked at me with great agitation, then took off his helmet and burst into laughter.

What catches my eye is a tall, handsome man.

“I’m Dylan. The knight who sparred with you! Do you remember?”

The article seemed to know me.

It seems that it really is as Athena said, I lived here before I lost my memories.

I bowed my head to him and apologized with a face full of regret.

“I’m sorry…I don’t remember.”

“Ah…”

The knight looked regretful for a moment, then smiled broadly and put his helmet back on his head.

“It’s okay. I’m just satisfied to know that you’re doing well.”

“Let’s go Hera.”

Athena watched the knight and my conversation for a moment, then grabbed me again and headed inside.

As she entered the mansion, this time a large number of maids came out to greet Athena.

“You’re here, master…and…young lady?!”

The maids showed a similar reaction to the article we saw just before.

They all started to surround me with astonished faces.

“Miss..! Are you okay..!”

“Welcome back….”

“I’ll really do it for you now… Welcome back, miss.”

They hold my sleeves and make sad expressions.

I just couldn’t get used to their dramatic reactions.

“Well…I don’t remember…so I don’t know everything..”

“””Yes..?””

They looked at me with blank expressions, as if they couldn’t believe their ears.

But Athena grabbed my hand and pulled me into her arms, so the maids naturally moved away from me.

“Do what you have to do. I’ll take care of Hera.”

“”Yes, sir.””

The maids immediately bow their heads at her stern voice.

Soon Athena pulled me into her arms and whispered in my ear.

“By the way… I have someone I want to introduce you to.”

The sound of her breath coming from right in front of me tickled my ears.

“Who is that..?”

“Follow me.”

As I asked curiously, Athena grabbed my hand again and started leading me somewhere.

Enter the mansion, climb the stairs, and pass through a long hallway to arrive at a door.

Athena released my tightly held hand and took a step back.

“This is my office. Remember this because I will be visiting here often.”

“Yes..but why here..”

“Go in. Maybe there’s someone there who can help you find your memories.”

She nodded her head as if telling me to open the door.

I took a short breath, opened the door to the office, and went in.

A large, ornately decorated sofa.

A fancy desk in the middle of the room.

Even the numerous books placed next to me.

It was a room with a familiar sight for some reason.

But what caught my eye more than the view of the room was.

It was a maid who was staring at me with her eyes wide open.

The face of a beautiful woman.

A brown medium length hair that goes perfectly with an elegant maid’s uniform.

Bright brown eyes reminiscent of Gaangji.

She was staring at me blankly, her eyes wide open.

“Ah.. Miss..?”

It felt familiar.

Perhaps it was one of the people I knew before I lost my memory.

But still, I couldn’t quite remember who she was.

“Ah..Miss..What are you doing here..”

Her voice sounded very flustered.

But I couldn’t easily give an answer because I couldn’t think of her.

“Alina.”

It was Athena who gave me the answer instead.

She looked at the maid in her maid outfit and spoke to her in a suggestive tone.

“Please wash Hera. She must be a little dirty since she’s been in the cave all the time.”

“….yes.”

A brown-haired maid who returns the answer to Athena.

But her eyes just kept looking at me.

“Follow me, miss. I’ll wash you.”

“Huh? Okay..I can wash up on my own for a bit..!”

“No, that’s the maid’s job.”

“Huh? Oh.. Wait?!”

This time, I started getting dragged around by a girl named Alina,

By the time I came to, I was surrounded by numerous maids, naked.

“Huh…Huh?”

*

The place where Hera left.

Athena sat down at her desk and sighed deeply.

“I got it back..”

I slowly looked down at my hands.

My hands were still shaking with unbelievable emotion.

I finally held Hera in my arms, whom I thought was dead.

I was able to see her face again, which I thought I would never see again in my life.

That alone made me feel like tears were welling up in my eyes.

But he himself did not cry.

He swept his face with his hand and made up his mind with a fierce look in his eyes.

I can’t forgive you.

He still held a deep grudge against Hera.

Resentment for being left behind.

Furthermore, he felt resentment towards himself for being left like this even though he was still alive.

Although he wanted to run to her right away and release all the anger he had pent up inside, he promised himself that he would endure it.

The reason was nothing special.

Because there was no point in showing Hera his anger now.

Hera lost her memory.

That means he has no reason to abandon himself, nor does he feel any guilt about it.

What would be the point of venting one’s anger on Hera in that state?

From her perspective right now, it must have felt like a bolt from the blue.

That shouldn’t be the case.

Hera must reflect.

You must pay a clear price for abandoning yourself and living a carefree life on your own.

You have to appease your anger by apologizing and pouring water up and down endlessly.

To do that, finding Hera’s memories would be the top priority.

Only then will the guilt return with it.

“There’s one thing I have to do before that though…”

Rattling-

While I was thinking alone with my eyes closed, the door to my office opened wide.

The one who came in through the door was the head maid who managed her mansion.

“Alina.”

“Master… You… No way…”

She looked at herself with a fierce expression on her face, as if her fever had reached its peak.

“You…did you erase the young lady’s memories?”

“…What?”

“I heard. You lost all your memories without even knowing why. Did you do it all yourself?”

I couldn’t understand what she was saying.

Why did you erase Hera’s memories?

I’m desperate to help her find her memories now.

“Why do you think so?”

“Write. Aren’t you trying to make Hera an idiot and manipulate her as you please?”

Alina’s words made my body tremble.

That… doesn’t seem like a bad idea, does it?

Just as I was about to fall for Alina’s alluring words, I shook my head and shook off my thoughts.

It was such a brilliant idea that he could have put it into practice right away before meeting Hera.

Now he loves Hera.

A beautiful love that is different from the first one, not just an obsession filled with desire.

There was no way that such a person could harm Hera.

‘…I plan to get revenge for what I was abandoned for.’

It didn’t matter because it was Hera’s fault after all.

“You’re right, since you didn’t answer. I thought you had improved a lot, but you’re still the same!”

“No.”

“…Huh?”

“I’m not the one who erased your memories. I brought you here to help you regain Hera’s memories.”

“Then who the hell is it..”

“Does it matter?”

Alina’s eyes widened at my calm voice.

Yeah, I should tell her that too.

There’s something you have to do first before you can find Hera’s memories.

“What’s important now is that the opportunity to wash away our sins has come.”

“…?”

Alina tilted her head as if she had no idea what he was talking about.

Looking at her like that, Athena smiled somewhere between lust and happiness.

‘Maybe… this could be a god-given opportunity.’
