Chapter 264
Clack, creak-
At that moment, the side door on one side of the room opened. As if telling her to come in. As Roina looked at it questioningly, the pendant that had been hanging around her neck suddenly opened with a clack and emitted a bright light. The place where the light was pointing was clearly towards the open side door.
“Amor?”
Roina had no choice but to get up and walk a few steps towards the side door. The closer she got, the more strangeness she felt. First of all, the inside of that door was shrouded in darkness, making it impossible to see inside, and she felt an unpleasant stickiness.
“…It’s Ryuhyeon.”
According to Amor’s meaning, the fragment of primordial magic must be beyond there. Retrieving this fragment is ultimately the way to reclaim Castrello.
“But it’s dangerous to go alone.”
Having had an experience in the royal palace, Roina shook her head. There are limits to arrogance, and she ended up being caught by Ryuhyeon again because she acted alone. It was when she was thinking and worrying like that.
Bang- The opposite door opened.
“Roina-nim!!”
The protagonist of the door that opened with a bang was Ethan, panting for breath.
“Ethan! Where have you been!”
“Yo.”
And following him, a strong-looking, muscular Castrello female warrior appeared.
Roina was slightly flustered by the appearance of an unfamiliar person, but she didn’t show it and asked Ethan.
“Who is that person?”
“Um, first.”
Ethan reached out his large hand and embraced Roina. Only then did Roina realize that she had been constantly tense.
“Ah.”
The golden energy in Roina’s eyes finally died down.
“I’m glad you’re safe.”
At Ethan’s words, Roina felt a strange tingling in her nose.
“Oh my, she’s your sister-in-law? She’s quite lovely and pretty. Our kid is a bit immature, but he’s good at doing what he’s told. Please take good care of him.”
Um, uh, ‘sister-in-law’ isn’t a common title for a woman, though.
While barely suppressing the urge to interject with that, Roina looked at her, and Ethan sighed, rubbing his forehead.
“Um…”
After hearing the whole story from the two of them, Roina hummed and fell into thought. Even with the somewhat returned intact memories, she wasn’t certain.
She frowned and said, “So, Icardo keeps coming back to life no matter how many times you kill him, and you feel like you’re losing a part of yourself every time you kill him, is that right?”
“Yeah. Right?”
Camillo answered with an overly nonchalant face. Roina felt a slight sense of deja vu and shook her head. The style is a bit different, but still…
‘It reminds me of Maili.’
Come to think of it, how is Maili doing? The last news she had was from Yoseph, who asked her to stop Maili from rushing to the capital after hearing the news after the New Year’s party. That was because she didn’t have much mental energy left to spare on her due to all the things she had to worry about.
But this woman was like a wild horse compared to Maili. If Maili felt like a knight from a noble family, even with all her quirks, Camillo felt like someone who would never be tamed by human laws?
Once Lutan recovers, she should visit Maili at least once.
‘Lutan.’
At that thought, her heart ached again. She missed his golden eyes and warm touch. And now, she realized. It became clear after sleeping with Ryuhyeon. The reason she was drawn to Lutan wasn’t just to replenish her magic power.
It was because he cherished her. Because he saved her and sacrificed a lot for her. The fact that she liked the s*x with him was only a very small part of the reason.
Anyway, this wasn’t the right time to dwell on such thoughts for long.
Roina looked at Camillo again and opened her mouth.
“I’m not an expert in magical knowledge, so I’m not sure, but the reason Icardo doesn’t die is probably in there.”
And Roina glanced at the side door with her eyes. That space where darkness lurked, swallowing the light.
