The ‘Velian Crystal’, which was no different from the sacred relic of the Atran people, was also an item with no way to recharge its power.

There was a time when the Atran people believed that they could restore the holy relics, whose power was gradually depleting, with their abilities.

However, no matter how hard I tried, there was no way to recharge the Belian Crystal… .

It didn’t take long for them to realize that their hopes were fleeting.

The Atran elders inherit the important task of protecting the village by ‘recovering’ the Velian Crystal from generation to generation.

This mission, which was handed down until recently, was also recognized by the elders of the present generation.

However, no matter how much I know and keep in mind, what can I do?

‘Recovering the Belian Crystal is as unrealistic as picking up stars in the sky.’

The elder in his youth complained like this.

He never thought that he could restore the Belian Crystal.

Thanks to his realistic personality, he never dreamed of impossible things in the first place.

“Huh? you… ”

“Oh, hello.”

The place where the Belian Crystal was located was a place that was quite exposed to the villagers.

Because of this, even a young child could come and go as long as he knew the location.

The son of Katan and Miris, who were treated as newlyweds in this village, was sitting in front of the Velian Crystal.

The cute boy with short silver hair seemed awkward at dealing with people.

The elder thought it was cute, patted its head a couple of times and asked.

“What are you doing here? And that too alone.”

“Oh, I was talking to this guy.”

“You mean ‘boy’… Are you talking about correction?”

Perhaps because he is a child, he talks to Sujeong, etc… It sounded quite interesting.

The elder also asked to join in the rhythm at least once.

“Yes. What did this guy say?”

“Before, I was full of energy… As time goes by, my strength decreases and I feel very tired.”

“… you. Where did you hear about that?”

This must have been something another adult told me.

That’s not what Sujeong was talking about.

Otherwise, could such fitting words come out of the child’s mouth?

however. The boy tilted his head as if it was the first time.

” Sujeong told me… . Oh, and he also said this. Can you share my life force?”

“… what? What else is that… … .”

As the child continued to speak, I felt that the content became increasingly strange.

Ignoring the elder’s question, the boy placed his hand on the Belian Crystal as if he wanted to show it for himself.

“Kamiel! I quickly took my hand away… ? her. Oh my… How could this happen!”

The elder opened his mouth wide as the emotion began with confusion, then changed to doubt and surprise.

“Ugh… I feel like I’m losing some strength.”

“… … .”

As Kamiel stayed still with his hand on it, the Belian crystal began to charge up little by little.

This was close to a ‘miracle’ that had never happened even in the past few hundred years.

“Ugh… .”

When Kamiel removed his hand, the charging of the Belian crystal stopped.

“Camiel. You must answer well from now on.”

“Yes? yes… .”

For a moment, Kamiel was puzzled by the elder’s sudden change in attitude and nodded, feeling a little despondent.

A realistic elder did not have false dreams.

However, if the possibility was clear, it could no longer be called an empty dream.

“Camiel. Do you have any desire to help the village people? This is something only you can do.”

“Help… ? I really… Can you help me?”

“Okay then! All you have to do is hold your hand on that crystal like before.”

The Belian Crystal was not a monster that sucked anyone’s life force.

It’s strange, but it only sucked the life force of a young boy named Camiel.

It wasn’t difficult for the elder to seduce Kamiel.

He disguised it as a secret good deed between the two of them and continued secretly charging the crystal.

Before the next year, Kamiel was diagnosed as a rotten tree.

“Camiel. How do babies come about?”

“Phew!”

Camiel, who was caught off guard, sprayed tea.

It was fortunate that I held the glass up and squirted, but the tea table would have been dirty.

“Kekkek,” Kamiel asked back with a visibly embarrassed expression.

“Lady. Why are you curious about that?”

“Wouldn’t I have a child someday? When you think about it that way, it’s natural to be curious.”

“That’s right, but… … .”

Kamiel wiped his mouth with a handkerchief.

It wasn’t wrong.

However, the limitation was that he could not answer this question.

“Me too… I don’t know because I’ve never tried it.”

“Ha… look? What are you trying to do?”

Leasian said calmly while tilting his head.

“If you sleep while holding hands, won’t the bird bring you something?”

“Lady. Seriously, who gave you that information?”

“Book.”

“… … .”

It looks like you picked up a children’s book somewhere and read it.

When did a bird come to fetch a child? .

Before Kamiel could explain this, he felt like his bones were hurting.

Actually, I don’t know that much, and trying to explain it with my limited knowledge was at a loss.

“That… miss. What about the baby… … ”

I explained it using a mix of technical terms to avoid being obscene as much as possible.

Rheasian nodded as if he understood, as if the effort had been for nothing.

“So, here’s something like this… ”

“Lady?”

Kamiel quickly asked with a straight face.

“I’ve never even taught you that?”

The hand gesture she was about to make was a bit vulgar.

However, Kamiel had never taught anything like that.

That means… .

“You fooled me?”

When he narrowed his eyes, Leasian looked away and avoided his gaze.

“Ha… Why lie like that… .”

“… It’s fun, right?”

“… I hope you don’t have such childish thoughts of revenge just because I did something before, right?”

Silence is positivity and the smile that accompanied it gave confidence.

“Oh, by the way, if you have a child, will it be a son or a daughter?”

“Was that something I decided on my own? And now to change the conversation… ”

“Just! Let’s get over this in moderation. That’s why you hear that you’re not popular with women.”

“The only person who says that to me is the young lady… .”

“Anyway, if you get your way. Which one do you want?”

Leasian, who asked that question, had a rather serious attitude.

Even though he wondered what the point of such a question and answer was, Kamiel answered sincerely.

“Um… I don’t think it would matter whether it’s a son or a daughter.”

“… okay? That’s right… .”

Leasian let out a strange snort.

“But you know what?”

“What is it?”

“The Larun people can give birth to children of any gender they want.”

“Yes? Is it true?”

Kamiel’s eyes widened as he heard this story for the first time.

After all, where can one hear such secrets of the Larun people?

Leasian nodded and added.

“Regardless of the gender of the parents, they say that the child will be the child desired by the Larun parents.”

“Wow… Then. What happens if both parents are Larun people but have different wants?”

“In that case… Actually it’s random. So in most cases, opinions are agreed in advance.”

“Ah… .”

Kamiel nodded and then spoke as a memory suddenly came to mind.

“By the way, lady. Who helped you when you first washed up?”

“Yes. But why are you suddenly asking that?

Oh, was the question strange?

but… Even so, it felt a little hurt to look at him like he was looking at a pervert.

“When I first came here, other people helped me wash. It didn’t really mean anything.”

“… Hey.”

“Yes?”

“Is that bitch or bastard who helped her? Anyway, do you remember who it is?”

“No? I was so embarrassed back then that I was out of my mind, so I can’t remember. But why is that?”

“No… … .”

Somehow the air in the room seemed to have become colder.

Is the window even open?

Camiel got up from his seat and checked the windows one by one, just in case.

“What are you doing?”

“No. It seemed like a cold wind was blowing, so I was just wondering. But everything is closed?”

It’s strange… . what?

“Ah. Time has already passed… .”

While checking to see if the window was open, I looked outside and saw that the sunset was setting.

After finishing his treatment, Kamiel said goodbye to the young lady.

“Yes. Goodbye.”

‘What’s going on? Usually, he still hesitates.’

It seemed like today was spent without any regrets.

Whatever it was, it wasn’t a bad thing for him.

I was worried because I always felt like I was leaving my child alone, but I was able to ease the burden on my heart by giving it to him like that.

Squeak, click-

“… … .”

After he left.

Leasian’s smiling expression disappeared like a ghost.

Her expressionless mood, as if she was wearing a mask, was unusual.

‘Who washed Camiel? which… ‘

All kinds of vulgar swear words were flowing inside.

If Kamiel had known this, he would have been very surprised.

It wasn’t like she always cursed in her head.

But there was always a time when I couldn’t hold back the swearing, and now was that time.

‘It must have been Ilho who assigned the maid or someone else. ‘How do we catch and kill him?’

I wanted to capture Ilho and kill him, but there was no way that was allowed.

Ilho is his father’s possession and a trusted subordinate.

“If you can’t do that, at least the rest… ”

Wouldn’t it be okay to kill people who may have been bitches or bastards for killing Camiel?

It seemed like forgiveness would be possible if only the two eyes were plucked out with as much pain as possible as a lenient treatment.

‘is not it? ‘Is this too bad?’

She seriously considered how to make life feel the greatest pain.

The books I read just in case were quite helpful.

smart.

“Lady. It’s me.”

‘Ilho?’

Leasian responded that everything went well.

“Come in.”

“Baby… Seed. I’m telling you this, but it’s dangerous to throw something like this.”

Even if I couldn’t kill him, I wanted to hit him, so I threw the teacup just as he came in.

Ilho put down the teacup he was holding in his hand and said.

“Do you like your therapist?”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

Do you like that guy? joy!

As Leasian snorted, Ilho nodded and muttered.

“Then it would be better to just leave it at that… .”

“What does that mean? Ilho.”

The air in the room became suffocating, as if it were suffocating.

It was because she was emitting energy indiscriminately.

Despite this, Ilho answered patiently.

“The reason I left him alone was because I thought it would be more beneficial to the young lady. However, since you hate it so stubbornly, there is no reason to keep it alive.”

“Didn’t you bring me here to treat me? If you kill that guy, you’ll end up having to bring in other guys. Troublesomely.”

“No. I can’t go into detail, but there is a way to treat her without going through all that trouble. but… To fulfill it, he must die.”

“Ilho… ”

She said softly.

“Do you think I can’t kill you?”

“So you’re stretching it out like this? Huh?”

“No matter what my father’s intentions are, I can kill you. So, let’s choose what to say and what not to say?”

“… … .”

Although the light has faded a lot due to weakness.

She was also a member of the Larun tribe.

And these days, Kamiel’s treatment is already improving his condition… .

Thanks to this, the energy that Rheasian was currently emitting was strong enough to crush the opponent without even touching him.

“… sorry. I didn’t know that the young lady would value him so much.”

“I don’t like the answer, but… Well, it’s okay.”

When she relaxed her momentum, it felt like air circulation became easier.

“I know so, so I’ll just go.”

“Ah, that’s right. From what I heard, it seems like you helped Kamiel bathe when he first came here. Is that correct?”

“Yes.”

“Are you a man? Is it a girl?”

“She was a maid.”

“Can I kill you?”

“… Please be considerate. He wouldn’t want that either.”

“Who? father? Ha, why do I have to please my father?”

Leasian snorted and responded, as if he had no intention of stopping.

Ilho shook his head.

“No. The person I am talking about is the person you warned me about a little while ago.”

“No way… Kamiel?”

“Yes. Considering his disposition, he might be hated… ”

“That’s it. Until there. after… Go out. My excitement has died down.”

“Thank you for your generous treatment. Then.”

Squeak, click-

“… Why me.”

Leasian, who was left alone, muttered.

It wasn’t a lie to say that my excitement had waned.

I was shocked when I imagined being hated by Camiel at Ilho’s words.

Being hated by him… Because it was something I hated so much that I wanted to avoid it at all costs.

‘I can only be hated for killing a few bitches like that…’ Just treat it as if you stepped on shit.’

Rheasian shook his head along with his idle thoughts and stared at the cleanly emptied tea table.

On one side was placed the teacup that Camiel had been holding to his mouth just a moment ago.

Rattling-

I scanned the scent in the teacup as if savoring the scent.

A sweet scent tickles the tip of my nose.

“Ah.”

Just smelling the scent ended up in my mouth by mistake.

‘Now that I think about it, I hold it like this with my right hand… I guess you drank it like this?’

I tried to recall his seemingly incomprehensible memories and reproduced his movements.

She thought as she pretended to drink tea and put her mouth on the cup.

I guess this is where Kamiel burned his mouth.

A light blush appeared on my cheeks and soon spread shyly.

“What am I doing… … .”

Even though I was speaking in despair, my mouth went to the teacup again.

It was like a drug I couldn’t get away from.

smart.

“Come in.”

“Master.”

The person Ilho visited was Lepurn, the owner of the mansion and Leasian’s father.

Lepuren was reading through what appeared to be more than ten books piled up all over the place.

“How was it?”

“It seemed like you cared a lot. I looked up to see if he could, and he seemed ready to kill me.”

Although he really almost died, his expression was extremely calm.

“Really? Then I guess I’ll have to put the plan on hold for now.”

” That’s my opinion too. The best thing for now is for him to survive and heal the young lady.”

“If you want to achieve a complete cure right away, you will have to kill him. If that happens, Leasian will also have a strong backlash. It’s something that can’t be helped.”

“Yes.”

Lepuren took off the glasses he was wearing, put them down, and leaned back against the back of his chair.

“This wasn’t the real purpose of me bringing him here… I was surprised because the results were good.”

“Then I guess I’ll just wait and see.”

“So be it.”

Lepuren closed his eyes and tried to recall the face of his daughter he had seen a long time ago.

A blurry image was built and then broken dozens of times.

In the end, he couldn’t remember.
