Inside the mansion of Duke Levadein.

Agnes got down from Kaltara’s arms and stood up straight.

“Thank you for having me.”

“Nothing to say.”

Kaltara smiled brightly.

Agnes smiled at that and pointed inside the mansion.

“Would you like to go have some tea?”

There was a reception room in the direction she pointed.

Kaltara blinked, then nodded with the brightest smile she had seen today.

“Well, this is what I’ve been waiting for.”

It was accompanied by words that I did not understand.

*

The reception room at Duke Levadein’s residence was spacious.

Not only was it spacious, but each and every decoration placed within it showed the status of this family.

However, precious wealth that can only be obtained through power, not wealth, is placed like a light behind the back of the person sitting at the head of the table.

Kaltara smiled deeply at that malicious arrangement.

“The princess is really fun.”

“How long are you going to pretend to be a fool?”

Agnes stopped sipping her tea and asked.

She was smiling, but she wasn’t laughing.

To put it a little bit differently, even though he was smiling, he didn’t look happy at all.

“It seems like Delta people are ok with it, but I’m so narrow-minded that I can’t see that.”

It meant revealing your true colors.

Agnes was confident.

I am confident that Masochist Kaltara is a very smart woman.

“It’s definitely different. With other girls.”

Kaltara let out a whimper.

“This is especially true when it comes to having an idea.”

Kaltara’s complexion changed.

She flashed a very sharp smile instead of the cheerful smile she had had until the day before.

Kaltara’s muscles trembled as she picked up the teacup.

Although she had a ferocious body, the formality she displayed was so perfect that it was admirable.

“Ana? I have seen so many people like princesses.”

“There are other people like me? Are you a bluff?”

“I’m saying I’ve seen a lot of girls who don’t know the topic.”

Kaltara’s smile was cold.

The temperature was similar to Agnes’ smile.

“Well-bred girls are usually dull. They always live under protection and don’t know their subjects. That doesn’t mean they don’t know that they are the same creatures that die when their heads break.”

“Is there any fool who doesn’t even know that much?”

“Princess girl, I am talking about you.”

Agnes’ eyebrows rose.

“I know. People die quite easily.”

“It’s true that you don’t know. If you know, you won’t be able to hold your head up high in front of me.”

“You can’t kill me.”

“I can kill you. Just spitting out mana without even stretching out your hand.”

Kaltara smiled happily.

“Do you know why I’m telling you this?”

“Away from the Deltans, is that what you want to say?”

“It’s good that I don’t have to talk at length.”

Kaltara sipped a cup of tea.

It was a quite luxurious scent, even for her.

“I’m talking about it. Hate the weak. I hate it so much that it makes me vomit. That’s why I liked my hometown in the West. The weak ones are eliminated and returned to nature.”

“Barbaric.”

“Following the laws of nature.”

“If I liked it that much, I should have kept living there.”

“Isn’t there a reason to be here?”

“Deltain is the reason? Do you like Delta Inn?”

“It doesn’t have a sexual meaning. I like the power of the boss.”

Kaltara’s smile deepened.

“An opponent that cannot be killed no matter what happens is something that arouses a warrior’s desire to win.”

“Masochist is the right word.”

“Anyway, back to what we were talking about.”

Kaltara gazed intently at Agnes.

“I can’t see a weak woman like a princess running around without even knowing the topic. It turns my stomach when I see him arrogantly sticking his tongue out when bowing his head like a weakling isn’t enough. But… If a princess is by the boss’s side, shouldn’t I have to keep seeing her like that?”

“Is that the reason?”

“Very important.”

Kaltara said and set down the teacup.

The sofa creaked and screamed as it struggled to bear her weight, but Kaltara leaned back on the sofa without paying any attention.

“Princess girl, I hope you don’t mess around with your boss.”

“What if you don’t like it?”

“I’ll have to cut my throat.”

“The Deltans will hate it?”

“The princess seems to be mistaken. The boss always hated me. I’m just keeping you by my side because you need my strength. That would be the same even if I broke your neck. Boss can’t abandon me.”

“Pity me. Even if you obey like a dog, you still don’t get love?”

“Don’t obscure the point. Because I could rip my head off right here. I’m not very patient.”

Kaltara’s expression became quite grim.

Agnes was still smiling brightly.

“You are also mistaken.”

“What is it?”

“Why do you think I am weak?”

“With such a frail body, he is a weak person.”

“Wrong. This body is a handicap.”

Agnes’ smile deepened.

“If your body is healthy, it’s so perfect. It’s too easy. So, it is a handicap that exists.”

Agnes put down her teacup and crossed her legs.

Interest appeared in Kaltar’s eyes.

“Ho, I’ve also met someone like this. A woman who is intoxicated with authority that she does not have in her hands, and a woman with a beauty that will fade as she gets older. And the woman who is trying to suppress me with those things. Now, which one are you going to show me?”

“It’s all wrong. And I have no interest in you.”

“Isn’t the boss the reason you called me here? It must have been unpleasant to see me being friendly with my boss.”

“No way, they would consider a muscle pig like you as competition.”

Agnes giggled as if she heard something funny.

“Same as you, I just don’t like you. Especially when all I have is my power and I touch my things carelessly.”

“With what confidence do you say that?”

“A lot. There are many reasons for confidence, but if I had to pick one, it would be this. Because I am a meaningful person to Delta people just by my presence.”

“You said there was a magic flower stuck in your heart. That’s why the boss is looking for you.”

“That’s a part of me too. But it doesn’t matter if that’s not the case. I am precious to Deltans even if I don’t have to prove it like you.”

Agnes knew too.

How does it appear in the eyes of a third party that you are provoking the Deltans?

How cheeky it will look.

One, is it really that important?

To her, other people’s opinions were not as important as their eyes.

There was one thing she hoped for and was obsessed with.

To forever engrave the existence of Agnes Levadeine in the hearts of Deltans.

“When you are done with your usefulness, you are thrown away. But I will miss Deltan forever.”

“I’ll have to kill you before that happens.”

“Try it. Well, it might already be too late.”

Hebron, the Delta, will love herself.

No, you probably already have that feeling to some extent.

So I was confident that I could do it.

The moment this insignificant life passes away, he will forever be immersed in a swamp from which he cannot escape.

Agnes was a person who was more than capable of making it happen.

“There is one reason why I brought you to this place. I wanted to tell you not to be arrogant and interfere with my work.”

Agnes’ smile was as cold as frost.

Kaltara burst out laughing.

“Well, are you planning on sleeping with your boss? Are you planning on trapping the boss like that?”

“Yes, I’m going to sleep with Deltan. But I don’t have children.”

Kaltara’s laughter stopped.

However, he didn’t act like that because of one thing she said.

This is because the moment Agnes uttered those words, her eyes changed and took on a truly strange light.

Kaltara thought.

The eyes I’m facing right now are just like the dolls that are somewhere in that shopping district.

“I’m going to sleep with Deltan. a lot. In all kinds of ways. Regardless of day or night. And I’ll tell Deltans every time. You can’t sleep with someone other than me. Even if you fall asleep, you will think of me at that moment.”

No, it would be unfair to call it a doll.

At least the doll that Kaltara knew did not have heat in its eyes.

Even if it is cold hard heat.

“It’s not just about sleeping. Delta Inn will make you miss me from the moment you open your eyes, the moment you eat, every moment you walk and stop on the street throughout the day, and even the moment you fall asleep at the end of the day. To do that, I will build memories of all those moments with Delta People.”

It was strange and bizarre.

I swear, Kaltara has never seen such strange eyes in her life.

This made Kaltara curious.

She wanted to figure out what was the source of those eyes and heat.

“For that reason, I will always joke around. Is that what you’re saying?”

“Yes, I will harass the Deltans. The more I do this, the more Delta people will feel my presence.”

The conversation stopped.

The two women looked directly into each other’s eyes.

Agnes’s eyes were looking down at something more insignificant than herself, and Kaltara’s eyes were looking at something unknown.

The silence continued like that for a long time.

“… Huh.”

Kaltara let out a laugh.

Only then did she realize.

“Princess, you have no desire to live?”

Kaltara no longer calls her a bitch.

It wasn’t respect.

Kaltara did not even see Agnes as a human being.

After all, something without the will to live cannot be considered a living thing.

“Yes, you are thinking of dying. The problem is not about magic or a sloppy body. Even if all that was resolved, you wouldn’t want to live.”

Kaltara burst out laughing.

This was a reaction that came to mind from the unfamiliarity she felt when meeting a type of person she had never seen before in her life.

Looking back, it was like that.

All of the creatures that Kaltara encountered during her lifetime were the kind that struggled to survive.

From insignificant idiots to the emperor of that empire.

Beyond that, all the demons of this dimension and those Deltans.

To Kaltara, Agnes, who is obsessed with memories of someone other than her own, is a truly unique creature.

“Big, big!”

Kaltara burst out laughing.

Agnes was still smiling the day before yesterday.

“What are you laughing at? I feel bad.”

“Ah, sigh… ! Wow… !”

Kaltara slapped her knee and laughed.

“It’s broken. It’s completely broken!”

It was pleasant.

Kaltara finally understood everything.

“Yes, I admit it. I cannot give the princess the slightest fear. The power I have can break the will, but it cannot straighten the broken will.”

“Do you understand now? That you are nothing special.”

“Arm! I admit it!”

Kaltara smiled brightly.

Agnes just kept smiling.

“I cannot harm the princess. No, I have no intention of harming you anymore. Because there’s something I want to see!”

“What, do you want to see Deltan miss me and make a fuss? congratulations. You will definitely see it.”

“No!”

Kaltara opened her eyes wide.

There was a mysterious light in her gray eyes.

“I want to see the princess crying because she wants to live.”

“I don’t think that will happen.”

“Well, I think the princess will hang miserably.”

Agnes’s brow narrowed slightly.

It was the first discomfort she had shown today.

Kaltara admired the expression in silence, then stood up with a happy face.

“The boss is persistent. And with that persistence, you always win.”

After saying that, he left the reception room.

After the door closed with a ‘thud’, Agnes stared at the door for a long time with an expression of indecipherable emotion.
