{{Shard of Greed binds {{Imprint of Greed}} forcibly.}}

Her red-hot gaze was like a mirror looking at myself.

＂Finally.. I found it.＂

The condensation of deep emotions was clearly evident in his eerily low voice. And I could feel it.

The right eye that is connected to hers… doesn’t just mean that the field of vision is shared.

The persistent feelings of her longing were also felt very clearly.

＇Please, please…＇

just as expected. My face, which was clearly conveyed through the vision of my right eye, which was stained black, was distorted with fear and fear.

It felt unfamiliar to me, as if it was my first time making such an expression.

“I waited..”

Who is the red-eyed woman standing in front of me right now?

Why is he following me so persistently and staring at me as if he is happy?

Why am I so denying the existence of this woman I am seeing for the first time, and why am I so anxious to run away?

It’s just that all of this seemed confusing to me. I wanted to quickly get out of this ridiculous situation.

“me..”

“remember?”

Sigh!

As soon as the gentle humming stopped, she pulled out the black magic dagger that was stuck on her ankle as if nothing had happened, put it in her waist, and spoke softly to me.

Grumbling..

Why?

Even the dizzying sensation of the dagger slipping out of her ankle came clearly as if it was being transmitted through my ankle. It hurt so much… I was consumed by thoughts of wanting to run away from this situation.

As I stared at her with eyes full of fear without any response…

Suddenly, her pure white hand slowly approached my face, where I could not even resist.

Ssss..

It was just… disgusting.

It was true that the long flowing black hair and the red eyes that made you fall in love just by looking at them looked so beautiful, but I could never shake off this feeling of disgust that I kept feeling in real time.

And when the magical power slowly flowing from her hand touched my skin…

Kwasik!!!

It was that moment. The immense pain felt through my right eye began to resonate in all directions as if it were hitting my brain.

＂Aaaah!!＂

No matter how mentally or physically I developed a certain level of tolerance for pain, I could not bear the sensation of pain that was beyond the scope of human beings.

The moment her cold hands touched my cheek… I lost consciousness without being able to resist.

dump..

＂I was always waiting..＂

The red-eyed woman quickly grabbed Da-hein, who had fallen helplessly, and began to hold him in her arms. She looked at his face carefully, stroked him gently, and then began to hug him again.

Sigh.. Sigh..

Perhaps because she liked the warmth felt from Dahyun’s body, the red-eyed woman hugged her tightly and gently closed her eyes.

＂It’s warm..＂

Shumi, who had to just watch this unknown scene from the sidelines, could not understand what was going on. However, Dahyin’s actions, as if she was trying to avoid the woman with red eyes, showed the fear that made her want to run away immediately.

＇Dahuinnim..＇

Dahyun’s blue eyes and whole body trembling, as if she was paralyzed with extreme fear, proved this.

Otherwise…

Even at that moment when she fainted, Dahyun’s expression was distorted as if she had encountered something truly terrible, and she let out a harsh moan as if she was trying to reject it.

“Now let’s go..”

“I have prepared a lot of things for you..”

Shumi lightly picks up the fainted Da-hein and quickly blocks the way of the red-eyed woman who is taking her somewhere.

“Now, wait..!”

Judging by the way he was wearing a cloak, it was clear that he was from the “noble class,” but kidnapping someone like this was never forgiven.

Shumi, who knew the order and laws of {Ryu Nest} more thoroughly than anyone else, tried to avoid this situation by making a loud noise to attract the attention of people around him.

＂W-I don’t know who is wearing them..!＂

＂You do this here..＂

Shumi, whose face was covered by a cloak, could only be recognized as a woman with red eyes.

The moment I looked at her face, I couldn’t say anything.

No… I couldn’t do it.

Long black hair and red eyes peeking out through the cloak.

Above all, the golden rose brooch hanging on the chest of the cloak belongs to Duke {Sentry}, whom everyone who lives in {Ryu Nest} has heard of at least once.

In fact, this person was a member of {Ryu Nest}’s overall governing responsibility.

‘{Sentry} man. why..?’

Shumi didn’t understand why a noble with such a high status was here alone, but he instinctively lowered his head. That was the order and natural phenomenon of the world she lived in.

Again.. again.. again..

As the woman with red eyes tried to pass by without even looking at her…

＂Ugh, ugh..＂

Shumi, who could not ignore Dahuin’s painful moans coming from right next to him, showed a very frightened expression, and once again blocked the {Sentry} duke’s path and immediately raised both arms to indicate that he could not pass. I stopped.

＂Please let go!＂

I also didn’t understand why it was blocked.

“You’re suffering.”

Shumi couldn’t figure out where this courage came from.

“He did nothing wrong.”

Anyone could see that there was a significant difference in weight between the Sentry woman and Shumi, but even so, anyone could tell from the trembling voice how courageous Shumi had shown in repeatedly blocking with her small body.

“Is this painful?”

The red-eyed woman, who was looking down at Da-hein, who had been holding her for a while, gazes at Shumi again.

＂This means I love you..＂

“me..”

!!!..??

thud!!

But of course…

Contrary to Shumi’s wishes, something quickly bound Shumi’s ankles, lifted them into the air, and threw them down in one go. It literally happened in an instant.

Kwasik!!!

It felt like a very meaningless existence, like throwing trash into a trash can.

＂Gagging!!＂

After crashing into the building and the floor several times and being thrown around, I was barely able to stop.

“No… aren’t you crazy?”

＂Look, {Sentry} is the duke’s person..＂

＂Leave it alone, let it be.. Do you want me to die with you if you stop me from wanting to die?

＂Let’s just keep doing what we were doing..＂

Of course, the people on the streets around them immediately recognized that {Sentry} was a member of the duke and went their separate ways.

It was none of their business if a child died suddenly or if a person was kidnapped.

It was a fact that everyone knew because they also faced the harsh reality of social class differences and took it for granted. Even though Shumi knew that, he blocked it with his whole body.

Ssss..

“Please, please… release me.”

No matter how skilled a woman was with magical powers, the shock was so severe that a child’s body could not withstand it.

Shumi, who was coughing up blood and unable to come to his senses due to the shock of almost instant death, slowly opens his eyes and notices that his ankle is numb like crazy.

‘chains..?’

just as expected. Shumi’s ankles were strongly bound with cold chains made of opaque black magic.

I was certain that my whole body had been lifted and thrown and that I had been attacked.

The dizzying sensation of a fracture and the sting of a bruise, which he has not felt in a long time, awaken Shumi.

Ssss.. trudge.

Nevertheless, it was Shumi who once again blocked the path ahead of the red-eyed woman, perhaps trying to stand up.

＇What are you thinking about standing up..?

Even though he was broken and hurt like this, he was trying to protect Dahyun, and without even understanding himself, he just stood firm and stood there.

＇It’s scary.. it hurts.＇

‘You want to run away..’

Shumi’s entire body was in terrible pain, as if her internal organs and blood vessels were being torn apart, but she did not move out of the way until the end.

‘Run away like you always do..’

‘You’ve done well so far. Surviving alone…’

The instinctive voice of fear coming from inside his head made Shumi’s will shrink moment by moment.

Excited.. Excited..

Red blood was flowing everywhere and the muscles were torn, making it difficult to even stand.

The reason she did not avoid this place in the picture was probably simple.

Memories of that day when I had to run away alone, leaving my loved one behind.

The past memory of losing her mother, who had made her run away, abandoning everything that made her happy, made Shumi wake up.

Shumi, who recalled the short but enjoyable moments he had with Dahyin, immediately glared at the red-eyed woman with intense eyes, as if he had made up his mind to do something.

“no..”

“I don’t want to run away anymore…”

Perhaps even now, at this very moment, he doubted himself as to whether he was someone precious enough to protect Dahyun’s existence by pledging to sacrifice his own life, but those thoughts were no longer important to Shumi.

In the past… a time when one’s own people were subjugated and murdered without any understanding.

The one who survived was Shumi, who had to watch with her own eyes as Chacham was taken away and sold into slavery.

Shumi’s mother met a tragic end while trying to help her escape.

Shumi, who was powerless and unable to do anything even in that situation, lost everything from that day on.

In order to survive, he had to run away, lying about everything about himself, and for the past 16 years, he lived stubbornly, being ignored by people and treated like garbage, thinking that he was useless because he couldn’t use magical power.

Shumi, who as always faced her reality with a smile as if nothing had happened, decided to stand up again because she could not live in this terrible reality if she did not deceive herself like this.

But I couldn’t run away from those hellish moments… it was only for a moment, but Da-heein treated me with sincerity and approached me kindly like an ordinary person.

no..

Like when I lost the mother I couldn’t protect, I thought that maybe if I run away from here again… I won’t be able to live by lying to myself anymore.

＂Release Dahein!＂

I stood up several times to block the red-eyed girl again, but here was the cold reality…

All of that was the content of Shumi’s dream, a small fantasy, as she fainted.

The red-eyed woman, who had already thrown away Shumi, who had already lost consciousness after one attack, was heading somewhere while holding the unconscious Dahyin in her arms.

“From now on, we’ll be together forever..”
