It was a night with soft moonlight.

Camiel, who had finished his work, was already lying down on the bed and trying to sleep.

But, is it because I went to bed earlier than usual?

Even though it was still the middle of the night, Kamiel opened his eyes and started tossing and turning in a half-asleep state.

‘That… what? ‘What was there?’

It was already dark and my eyes were blurry, so I couldn’t see very well.

At first glance, it looked like clothes were hanging… What is it really? Kamiel had never left any clothes there.

‘Did someone else leave it behind while I was away?’

I don’t know what the reason was, but that was the only answer.

Thanks to this, Kamiel didn’t think much of it.

‘Let’s check tomorrow morning… .’

That’s when I made up my mind and lowered my eyelids to close them.

Suddenly, the hanging clothes moved.

Kamiel felt strange.

‘I closed all the windows… But why are my clothes flying?’

Kamiel narrowed his eyes and focused on the clothes.

“Isn’t it difficult to stare at him so intently?”

“… !”

Kamiel reacted a beat late to the unfamiliar female voice.

He got up in shock and unconsciously hid behind the bed.

Just then, the clouds in the sky began to clear, and dusky light came in through the window.

“Who are you?”

I asked with trembling eyes, staring at the place where I thought clothes were hanging.

Jeopuk, Jeopuk… .

The brilliance of the moonlight was brighter than I could have imagined.

The light coming through the window was no longer dusk.

At least it was bright enough to brightly illuminate her surroundings.

Jeopuk, Jeopuk… .

It was only when she took another step that the figure was revealed.

Her hair tied back neatly looked elegant.

The face was particularly white, perhaps due to the energy of the night, so much so that it looked pale.

Her relaxed yet confident eyes seemed to represent her personality.

What I had mistaken for clothes hanging a moment ago were her clothes.

The black dress that exposed her pure white collarbone and shoulders created a mesmerizing atmosphere.

She opened her mouth, licking her blood-red lips.

“Looking up close, it is as expected. I’m sure my mother will like it.”

“Yes? What is that… ”

“Shh. quiet. You don’t plan on waking everyone up in the mansion this night, do you?”

She got closer and closer.

Like a predator hunting its prey with a subtle smile on its face.

Is it radiating some kind of power?

Or was he overwhelmed by the girl in front of him?

Kamiel couldn’t even move due to the energy that seemed to be weighing down his whole body.

Of course, running away was also impossible.

The girl came right in front of him, frozen like an herbivore facing a wild beast.

She suddenly popped her head in.

“Hmm… .”

The breath on my neck felt a little strange.

Kamiel suddenly came to his senses with an inexplicable determination that he should not remain like this.

He gradually took a step back, but soon turned around and ran.

Hearing the alarm that it would be dangerous to be with her right away, I turned the doorknob to go outside.

Fortunately, Camiel was able to escape through the smoothly opened door.

“Ha… ha… .”

How long did it run?

He stopped, out of breath, and caught his breath on the spot.

Meanwhile, I continued to stare behind me, but there was no sign of the woman following me.

‘Why did I run away?’

It was a question that even Kamiel himself could not understand.

All that remains is the feeling that it felt like it had to be that way.

‘No, who was in that room in the first place?’

It was a person I had never seen before, wearing clothes I had never seen before.

‘if… Ghosts or something like that… ‘

Camiel felt a chill down his spine.

He regretted it.

I felt like I was thinking for nothing.

Even though there is already thick darkness everywhere, the hallway is so quiet as if something is going to jump out.

I came this far just by relying on a glimpse… Since I was running aimlessly, I had no idea where I was.

‘How does it work?’

No, I couldn’t go back.

There might still be a girl in the room who doesn’t know she’s the ghost.

‘But I can’t stay here forever… .’

It was a situation of complete dilemma, impossible to advance or retreat.

Kamiel took a step to move to a brighter place.

‘Just wait outside until the sun rises… ‘

Jeopuk, Jeopuk… .

“… … .”

Kamiel’s whole body became as stiff as a stone statue again.

He became thoughtful and stiffly turned his head.

Jeopuk, Jeopuk… .

The place where the sound was coming from was a hallway with no windows and no light coming in.

Jeopuk, Jeopuk… .

Did I follow you here before I knew it?

Kamiel should have run away right away, but he was so scared that he couldn’t do it, so he resented himself.

Jeopuk, Jeopuk… .

This time, the same luck as before did not work.

My stiff body and legs seemed like they would never relax.

Kamiel, whose eyes were filled with tears, stared into the darkness with great fear.

I couldn’t take my eyes off it.

Because I was more scared of the invisible fear.

Jeopuk, Jeopuk… .

The faint shape became increasingly clear as the footsteps grew louder.

‘also… Is it him from earlier?’

When I see a dress with a flowing hem, fear comes over me.

Kamiel closed his eyes tightly, unable to watch any longer.

My heart was pounding as if it would explode at any moment.

Jerk, jerk.

The footsteps stopped.

Kamiel was afraid that there would be a ghost in front of him when he opened his eyes, but he narrowed his eyes out of instinctive curiosity.

And then he made a curious sound.

“Huh?”

The intangible energy that had been constricting my entire body seemed to recede.

Because before my eyes was something so familiar that I was extremely glad to see it.

“Lady?”

“You… What are you doing here?”

Her frizzy hair took on a soft glow in the moonlight.

The skin was equally pale, but since it was a different person, it didn’t feel creepy at all.

She looked dazed as if she had just woken up and rubbed her eyes.

“… what. Why are you crying?”

“Lady… … .”

Kamiel trudged forward as if collapsing and suddenly hugged her.

“Woah, what’s going on? No, I said try talking?”

“Well, there’s a ghost in my room.”

“What, what? Ghost?”

The panicked voice was evident.

Kamiel even felt the same way, wondering if she too was scared of ghosts.

Even though we are both cowards, we are no longer alone. There was a lot less fear.

“Yes. It’s true.”

“… you. Is that really why you’re here like this?”

“… … .”

What answer do you need?

He had been crying since he was found.

Kamiel also felt ashamed.

“Well, I’m a bit of a ghost too… ”

“Really? Miss too?”

“Uh, uh… . What should I do with this?”

Is it because Rheasian also woke up from his sleep?

Kamiel felt that she was somehow kind now.

‘Your voice is soft… .’

“… It can’t continue like this. First of all, I have to stay up all night covering myself with something.”

“But… .”

Kamiel came out with nothing.

Because I ran away without even having the time to pack a blanket or something.

“Well, then… Do you want to go to my room first?”

“Yes? No, anyway, that’s… .”

“What is it? I don’t even want to go into my room, is this it?”

When the young lady looked slightly angry, Camiel quickly shook his head.

“That’s not it… Anyway, going to the room where the young lady sleeps is inconvenient in many ways… .”

“It’s okay because it’s not me. Follow me.”

“Yes? Now, sleep… ”

She led him by her wrist, as fierce as always.

Camiel was almost taken away.

His expression was slightly distorted, and after much deliberation, he had no choice but to speak.

“Lady. that… If you hold me that hard, my wrist hurts so much.”

“Oh, sorry… .”

It seems he didn’t know his power was that much.

Rheasian was startled and loosened his grip a little.

Thanks to this, the pain in my wrist completely disappeared.

‘The throbbing pain remains… .’

I didn’t want to say anything, but I had no choice but to say something about my wrist.

If I continued like this, I felt like my wrist would be ruined in the near future.

‘It hurt even more because the bruises on my wrist hadn’t completely subsided yet… ‘I’m glad I said it now.’

This wasn’t a matter of going against the young lady’s wishes.

Leasian was able to find the room without difficulty, as if he remembered the way he came.

Kamiel carefully entered her room.

When she saw that, she said in an astonished tone.

“It’s not your first time here, why are you reacting like that?”

“Coming at night feels quite different… .”

Meanwhile, Leasian, who was sitting on the bed, tapped the spot next to him.

Camiel seemed reluctant at first, but

Immediately, I saw her bewildered eyes and obediently complied.

“But. miss… .”

“Huh?”

“Are you able to leave the room without any worries now?”

“What? Oh, no. That’s not it… … .”

It seemed like he was hiding something.

Kamiel seemed to understand her confusion and spoke softly.

“Why are you trying to hide it? It’s something worth celebrating. If you’re doing it because you’re embarrassed, there’s no need to hide it from me.”

“That’s not it… ah. Actually, it’s only at night when people aren’t walking around so you can go out… . I couldn’t possibly go out.”

“Ah… It was something like that.”

Kamiel completely believed her words.

There seemed to be no suspicion at all.

Leasian sighed in relief.

This guy’s pretense… … .

An auditory hallucination that he could not hear muttered softly.

Rheasian continued to ignore it, and as before,

So, I remembered what happened before I went to Camiel.
