‘who is this?’

As if it were a film screen that was so old that it had lost some of its clarity, it was difficult to make out the face of the person appearing before my eyes.

Meanwhile, the whole body trembled constantly as if it had been the first time he had checked the letter.

‘This is…’

Fear? Horror?

Similar but slightly different.

This quiet emotion, felt deep inside, was definitely anger.

I feel the same complex emotions that Adrian feels.

As if this were my memory.

“My poor Adrian. With a body like that, no one can satisfy you. Especially those who inherit the name Floyd.”

“……”

A gentle voice.

She was smiling.

The entire upper part of the mouth was covered in darkness and could not be seen, but the corners of the mouth were clearly visible.

As if he would remember those lips and that laughter forever.

And it is certain that the opponent is a woman.

The voice still sounds so immature that it makes you question whether it’s really an adult.

“But don’t worry, my puppy.”

‘It’s not some kind of child’s play…’

If it weren’t for the feelings Adrian had, I would have felt like he was just joking around.

‘But why aren’t you moving at all?’

Adrian remained motionless the whole time.

There was no change in the arms, hands, or posture.

Just blankly staring at the person in front of you.

‘no way…”

It didn’t take long for him to realize that he was currently tied up tight.

“Today, I’m going to make your left arm stronger. Now, would you like to drink this first? Okay! Ahh.”

A cloudy drink approaches your mouth, making you wonder if it is poison.

He tried to refuse by keeping his mouth shut and twisting his head, but the woman grabbed Adrian’s chin with her gloved hand and forced his mouth open by sticking her finger into it.

Gulp, gulp… Gulp, gulp.

It was just the beginning.

Next, I was stabbed all over my body with sharp objects, especially my left arm, which was not visible, but felt like a knife being cut repeatedly.

-Chiieek!

“Ughhh…”

“Oh my, sorry. I thought it was broken because there was no response for a long time.”

Once again we see the woman’s tearing smile.

“Don’t worry. I used the best potion, so your cracked skin will heal soon. I always give in to you like this.”

The woman bent her head right next to Adrian’s face and whispered in his ear.

“And… tomorrow is heart. Hehe. Ahahaha.”

* * *

“Ugh, ugh… ugh…”

“Adrian? Why are you suddenly like this!?”

I instinctively put my hand to my heart.

I clutched my heart that was beating madly and took a deep breath.

‘What the fuck just happened? Who the hell is that bitch?’

I quickly picked up the envelope that had fallen on the floor and checked where it had come from.

It said this:

– Favela Floyd. Your beloved rose –

‘Favela… Floyd.’

Is she from the same family?

Suddenly, I remembered the scars that remained all over Adrian’s body.

‘Could it be that it was all that woman’s doing?’

“Heh, heh heh… Keuhehheh…”

“Adrian… sir?”

“Khahahahahaha.”

It makes me laugh.

The memory from just now seems to have been his trauma.

The sound of his breathing was faint and the groans of pain were quite light, to the point where it was definitely his.

I’m not sure exactly, but it must have been a memory from his childhood.

I wondered where the courage to use a country’s princess as a test subject came from, but was it because he was taking out the trauma he suffered from his family as a child on others?

If you’re listening, answer me, Adrian.

“Delua.”

“Huh?”

“Now that you’ve finished packing, are you free?”

“I am Adrian’s escort, so I will be very busy until the moment you leave.”

“Don’t lie. What kind of escort is that guy who snores all night long?”

“That, that’s Adrian…”

“It’s noisy. Come and take it off for a moment.”

“Huh? Right now?”

Delua looks around in confusion.

“What are you doing? Hurry up! I have something I want to try right now.”

“Poem, an experiment? What kind of pose are you going to have me do this time…”

It’s not just the guy’s traumatic past that just came to mind.

‘This is certain…’

I can now see part of the circuitry of my left arm.

It’s a much more complex and precise circuit than the one Adrian carved into Princess Purua.

* * *

“You turned into a total bitch in one day.”

“Don’t say that… Hurry up and suck it. I’m telling you, the other escorts the captain sent might be here soon.”

“Wait a minute. Didn’t you say you had something to do?”

“Ugh… Is this even so?”

Delua spreads her big buttocks to reveal her juicy pussy and asshole.

It’s quite a sight.

It’s amazing how a person ends up like that when he crosses the line he’s always maintained.

But anyway, what do you think?

No matter what condition the guy is in, what’s important is this left hand.

With a trembling heart, I reached out my left hand toward Delua.

And the rendezvous.

“…!?”

“Ouch! Oh, Adrian? What just happened?”

Tingling.

A sensation as if electricity had run through it.

I knew instinctively what it was.

‘Did the mana collide?’

A magic circle is seen spinning like a clockwork in the left hand.

‘Is it a device that draws mana from the body and transforms it? And does that change it for each attribute?’

“Delua. What is your specialty?”

“Me? Can’t you tell when you see it?”

“Say it. Don’t make me say it twice.”

“Of course it’s fire. Look at my hair.”

Oh, was that how it was?

Are innate mana characteristics reflected in the body?

So this guy has red hair because he has the elemental nature of fire, and Purua’s hair is white?

‘But if it’s water, isn’t blue hair normal? Why does that guy have silver hair?’

Anyway, that’s not important right now.

What’s important now is that I can finally use my magical powers.

and.

“Don’t move for a moment. Even if it hurts, bear it.”

“Huh? What on earth are you trying to do…”

“You’ll know if you wait.”

Don’t take any risky measures that will touch your heart from the start.

I put my left hand on the guy’s right hand.

‘Somehow I feel like it might be possible now.’

Let’s try modifying the guy’s right arm circuit.

* * *

“Angelica. Are you really planning to go all the way? It seems like you’ll end up with a bad reputation and be demoted to the province anyway, so why bother…”

“Of course. He’s the kind of person I can never forgive. You guys are the same, right?”

“That’s true, but… wouldn’t it be too dangerous to attack a convoy of central government officials?”

danger?

Whatever it is, I can take it.

If only I could get revenge on that bastard.

“It’s not like it’s a grand escort vehicle. Since it’s being demoted, there won’t be any escort.”

“But last time, there was someone right next to him. If he was able to block all the arrows and daggers we shot, he must be a very skilled person. If he was a royal knight, the three of us wouldn’t be able to fight him even if we woke up dead, right?”

“There’s no need to fight him. We have the upper hand in numbers. If we lure him properly, we’ll definitely have a chance to attack him. Just like we did the day before yesterday.”

“So why did you fail? It was just you and that guy before that redhead got in.”

“…You know that guy. He’s a Floyd. He’s covered in defensive gear all over his body. ”

Even now, when I think about that time…

‘I knew it was me right away…’

Now that he knows what I’m after, I need to get my revenge as soon as possible.

“You’re wearing enchanted gear, aren’t you? Then, wouldn’t it be difficult for Angelica to attack you?”

“……”

“I’m not ignoring you, but it’s hard to break through the shield of the reinforced equipment while your magic power is under control.”

Why can’t I use my magic properly?

It’s all because of that guy.

I don’t know exactly what he did to my body, but it was definitely there.

The only person who would do something like that, the only person who could do something like that, is Adrian Floyd.

‘I’ve had to endure some humiliation within my family because of that damn Floyd…’

“Don’t worry about that. I felt it this time too. That’s why I brought this.”

“What’s that? Is that your family’s relic sword?”

“That’s right. I borrowed it from my brother. With this sword, no matter how much enhanced equipment he’s wearing…”

“It’s certainly possible if you have that sword. If you add your swordsmanship skills to that sword, you should be able to deal with one of them without much magic power.”

“So, everyone agrees?”

“Okay. Let’s give it a try.”

“So where should we raid?”

“Of course it’s the Proinen Forest. If you’re going to target it, there’s no other place to go. Since there’s nothing around, it’ll be hard to get support, and the chances of witnesses being found are slim.”

Wait a minute, Floyd.

This time, you won’t be able to escape.

“If anyone sees us, they’ll understand. Rather, we’ll be heroes who punish the shameless man who assaulted the princess?”

“That guy is clearly crazy. He would never have thought to touch a princess.”

“But why are you keeping it alive?”

“Why? Of course it’s because of the backer named Floyd.”

“Well…”

“Enough. Let’s stop talking about that family. Our target is Adrian Floyd.”

* * *

“Ah, Adrian… What the heck is this…”

“How are you feeling now?”

“It’s like… my left hand is on fire. But, what the heck is this?”

It makes me laugh.

‘Was it that simple?’

It’s not like I put a complex magic circle into Delua’s body.

All I did was expand his mana circuits a bit to make it easier to circulate.

Although it took quite a while, the method itself was very simple.

“Use your power. Magic or whatever.”

Delua drew her sword, wearing only leather boots and a naked body.

“Was the sword… this light?”

“Try using magic power too.”

“Ah… Yes!”

In an instant, an aura rises from the sword.

and.

-Whoooosh!

“This, this is…”

Suddenly the blade began to burn.

“What the hell is this…”

She says today is the first time she’s ever set fire to her sword.
