Seliya was speechless at his absurdity.
'What is this?'
It wasn't like there was a ghost, suddenly there was a knocking sound coming from all over the room and now the bathroom door was forcibly closed.
Seliya pulled the doorknob to get out of the bathroom.
However, no matter how hard she pulled on the doorknob, the bathroom door was shut tightly and there was no sign of it opening.
The bathroom and room were completely blocked by a tight door, so almost no light came in.
Seliya thought deeply in the dark.
'Why did this suddenly happen? And that too right after Dietrich left.'
At that time...
The lamp hanging on the bathroom wall kept turning on and off by itself.
Deciding that all of this could not be a coincidence, Seliya shouted, taking out her dagger from her arms.
“Stop being weird and come out. You sullen bastard.”
At Seliya's words, the continuously blinking light became silent as if it were a lie.
Seliya smiled as she looked at the calming light of the lamp.
"Alright...!”
At the same time, an excited voice came from right behind Seliya.
When Seliya turned her head, the man who had approached her without a sound was smiling brightly.
The man's platinum hair sparkled, reflecting the light from the lamp hanging on the wall.
He was a man with pale yellow-gold eyes like snakes and skin so pale that one could believe he was a corpse.
The man in black robes had a pitch-black pearl earring on one of his ears, and a golden bracelet on his left arm.
He extended one of her arms and tried to touch Seliya's cheek.
Seliya slammed her elbow down on the arm of the man who was trying to touch her, and in an instant, she aimed the dagger at his neck.
"Right... I should have come to see you a long time ago. I wish I had known you would be this beautiful.”
Even though there was a dagger in his throat, instead of being scared, the man opened his mouth and made an excited face
“...Ah, huh.”
When Seliya saw the man moaning with his pupils dilated, a curse flew out from his teeth.
“Are you crazy?”
Seliya had seen many men in her life, but this was the first time she had seen a man like this.
“Please, please! Curse me more! Make more of a mess! Insult me with that pretty face and that ecstatic voice!”
The man in front of her had a strikingly gorgeous appearance, but he looked so crazy that even his good looks could not cover it up.
'...Isn't this completely crazy?'
For some reason, she felt like if she stabbed him in the neck with a dagger, he would beg for more.
Seliya instinctively felt that way.
She aimed her dagger at her own throat, not the man's.
The man, who was so excited that even his pupils were relaxed, was startled and snatched Seliya's dagger in one go.
The man's movements were so fast that Seliya could not even see them.
The fact that he recklessly broke into Dietrich's mansion shows that the man is not ordinary.
However, she had no idea it would be this agile.
"No! Do not do that! Cherish the beautiful you.”
“...”
“So confiscate this bad item.”
The man arbitrarily placed his dagger inside his robe.
“Give it to me. It’s mine.”
Seliya tried to pull her dagger out of the man's arms.
Then, his snake-like, slimy hand grabbed Seliya's wrist.
The man holding Seliya's wrist suddenly let out an excited moan.
“Ugh... ha."
Seliya, displeased, immediately took her hand out of the man's grasp.
“It’s too irritating... It's white, soft, and clean...”
When she saw the man muttering with his cheeks stained red, her physiological disgust bloomed.
The person in front of her seemed more like an unknown entity than a man.
Seliya glared at him with a disgusted look.
At that look in her eyes, the man's body trembled and his body twisted.
Seliya took advantage of the opportunity and reached into the hem of the man's robe, searching for her dagger.
In her hasty search, Seliya cut her fingertip slightly with the sharp tip of her knife.
But she succeeded in pulling out the dagger.
Seliya pulled out her dagger and swung it at the man in front of her.
However, Seliya's dagger was unable to inflict even a scratch on him as it was blocked by a solid wall.
“What on earth are you?”
The man obediently answered Seliya’s question.
“I am, Arthur. A wizard who likes beautiful things the most in the world.”
“...No way, Arthur Cervantes?”
The man's golden eyes flipped upward at Seliya's words.
“Ugh. You know me, you know me... The most beautiful being in the world knows me. It's so irritating when you call my name like that...”
'How can there be all these crazy people?'
Seliya got goosebumps.
Her reaction was not one of horror and fear, but rather a deep disgust at facing an incomprehensible perversion.
'I can't believe this crazy person is not only the Three Dukes but also helped destroy my kingdom.'
Still, the pervert before her eyes might be easier to deal with than Illeon.
The bottom line is the bottom line. Seliya decided to give it a try.
“Arthur.”
When she called his name, Arthur's golden eyes shook as if there had been an earthquake.
"Right! Called my name! I love it! I, I, even if I die like this, it's okay..."
Arthur looked like a truly crazy person as he looked at Seliya with red eyes, mouth wide open as if drooling from excitement, and dilated pupils.
Seliya had many things she wanted to ask, but she was so uncomfortable with him that she told him to get out of the way.
“Would you mind leaving for today?”
“...Yes!"
At Seliya's words, Arthur turned into a liquid, melted, and disappeared without a trace.
After confirming that he was gone, Seliya looked at her hands.
Red blood had formed on his right index finger as she was trying to retrieve her dagger.
As if to prove that what just happened was the truth and not a lie.
Seliya frowned and tried to open the bathroom door, which had been locked just a moment ago.
“...It was opened.”
***
After feeding the horses in the stable, Dietrich returned straight to his mansion without straying from his path.
“Were there any intruders while I was away?”
“There was no one.”
Dietrich nodded his head at the knight's report and entered the mansion.
He passed through the corridors and up the marble stairs to the third floor.
“...?”
Although the knight said there was no intruder, Dietrich felt a sense of discomfort as he entered the third floor.
It was an animal intuition.
At first glance, it seemed like it was no different from usual, but something was getting on his nerves.
'If I felt something on the 3rd floor that I couldn't feel on the 1st or 2nd floor, did someone secretly break in through the window?'
Dietrich looked out the window. Before he knew it, the sunset was painting the imperial palace in red.
'It's not even late at night, but you came to the third floor of the mansion without anyone noticing?'
Anxiety overtook him.
Dietrich burst open Seliya's door.
His eyes fell on Seliya sitting on the sofa.
“Uh, are you here now?”
Fortunately, Seliya was fine.
Dietrich, seeing that she was there, let out a sigh of relief.
“By any chance, did someone come and go while I was away?”
Seliya's face darkened noticeably.
“My guess was right. Who?"
“Arthur Cervantes.”
Dietrich's eyebrows furrowed at Seliya's answer.
"What? Say it again."
“Arthur Cervantes came and went.”
“...”
“He was the most perverted person I’ve ever seen.”
Seliya shook her head as if she was trembling just thinking about it.
“That human came? Where are you injured?”
"No."
Dietrich lowered his head in relief and saw drops of blood on Seliya's right index finger.
“You’re injured, but why do you say you’re not hurt?”
“Oh, this isn’t an injury, it’s just a slight scratch.”
Seliya answered casually.
“If you leave this alone for a few days, it will be better...”
Before Seliya could finish speaking, Dietrich leaned down and filled his mouth with Seliya's bruised fingers.
Something soft and smooth licked the injured area, and he caressed it.
Seliya felt the wound from the knife heal.
Dietrich, who was carefully licking her wounds, rolled her hands in his mouth and licked them as if they were candy.
It was clearly meant to heal wounds, but it felt like it was caressing.
Seliya was startled by what she had just thought.
'Does meeting a pervert make me a pervert too?'
No. Let's not think strange things.
Dietrich just treated her because he was bothered by her wounds.
The cut from the tip of the knife disappeared as if it had been washed away.
Dietrich separated his lips from her finger only when he saw that the wounds on her hands had disappeared.
In contrast to his stoic eyes, Dietrich's lips were moist.
Seliya looked at his shiny lips for a while and then looked away.
“Shelly.”
When Dietrich called her, Seliya, who was looking elsewhere, looked at him awkwardly.
It was supposed to get better after just a few days, but he went ahead and gave her treatment, which created a strange atmosphere, didn't it?
“I’m sorry for leaving you alone.”
Seliya looked dumbfounded at Dietrich's unexpected words.
He had no reason to apologize.
If we were to judge between right and wrong, it was the pervert who came in out of nowhere that was at fault, and Dietrich did nothing wrong.
“Why are you apologizing? There is nothing wrong with you.”
"No. I also have responsibility. Because it’s true that I left you alone.”
“Dietrich. You shouldn't apologize too often. If you apologize for something you didn’t do wrong, the other person may mistakenly think, ‘Oh, this person is an easy person.’”
At Seliya's words, Dietrich gazed at her with his serene eyes.
“Shelly, I'm not that kind of person.”
“...”
“The kind of person who takes the other person lightly just because they apologized. Nope."
Seliya faced Dietrich, who was staring at her with his unwavering eyes.
He always looked at her with straight eyes like this.
Seliya didn't know what to do when she saw him like this.
He wanted to joke as usual, but perhaps because her body was relaxed, Seliya could only stare at Dietrich quietly.
“Shelly.”
"Why?"
“Watch out Arthur. Because he’s more dangerous than Ileon.”
Seliya could not understand Dietrich's words until the next day.
Immediately after Arthur came to the imperial palace, Jeremy, who was imprisoned in the tower, and Erphia, who was imprisoned in the Empress' palace, were killed at the same time.
All of this was too strange to be a coincidence.
No. Let's not think strange things.
