“Who are you?”
When someone asked, the man slightly lifted the black umbrella.
Bright red eyes were located beneath black hair lightly stained with rainwater.
Smooth, flawless skin, sharp nose bridge, and tightly pressed lips.
He was a handsome man who made you forget the cold at once and sent goosebumps down your spine.
People who met the man's gaze felt his hair stand on end.
“Your Excellency Duke Calypso!”
“Your Excellency Duke Calypso?”
“Are you not in prison?”
Dietrich, who should have been in prison, was standing neatly dressed in black armor.
People seemed to have forgotten that Dietrich had been deprived of the dukedom, and people still called him Duke.
“You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”
Dietrich's gaze fell on Gabriel and Hariel, whose complexions were pale.
“Did you call my lover a witch?”
Slap, slap.
As Dietrich took a step forward, people made way for him.
Dietrich looked at Gabriel and Hariel alternately, as if he were looking at a wriggling insect.
“Your Excellency, you are also being deceived, that child is a wicked witch. My daughter and I were also deceived for several years.”
Dietrich slowly closed his eyes and opened them once at Hariel's words, which he spoke without even understanding the atmosphere.
“Aren’t you the real witches?”
Dietrich's voice as he said that felt several times colder than the pouring rain.
“You filled your pockets by selling my lover to dirty men like at an auction, and now you are on a witch hunt.”
Dietrich smoothed the sword at his waist with his hand.
People didn't even dare to swallow their saliva as the hand gesture as if the sword would be pulled out at any moment.
At that time, Gabriel intervened.
“Your Excellency Duke Calypso, you may not believe it, but my mother is right. And, the reason we opened the courtship in public was because Seliya wanted it, not because we did it on our own.”
Gabriel bit his lower lip and gave a pitiful look.
However, when Dietrich looked at Gabriel like that, not a trace of sympathy appeared in his eyes.
“Your Excellency Duke Calypso, don’t be fooled by that child. If you don’t want to feel betrayed like me... It’s not too late.”
Gabriel looked up at Dietrich with an earnest face.
Just looking at him made her heart pound.
A solid and thick body, shoulders falling at right angles, and a wide and flat back.
And those indifferent red eyes.
Those eyes had a friendly light for Seliya.
Gabriel's judgment was distorted.
Gabriel was much more hurt by the way Dietrich looked at Seliya than by the fact that she had been kicked out of the imperial palace.
'You can't have what I can't have.'
Gabriel thought so and continued speaking in a quiet voice.
“...In fact, before she was admitted into our family, Seliya survived her life by rummaging through the trash cans in the alley.”
Gabriel lowered his eyelids as if she had difficulty speaking, and when she received no answer from Dietrich, she continued speaking.
“If she hadn’t been lucky enough to be enrolled into our family, she might still have lived that kind of life. Out of pity, my father took her, but in fact... We never thought she was a wicked witch who bewitched and ate men...”
Gabriel sobbed, her shoulders shaking slightly.
“You talk too much.”
“... Yes?"
“I guess you forgot that anyone who spreads false rumors and causes chaos in the country will be imprisoned without exception.”
Dietrich glanced at the knights running from afar.
The knights who came running bowed their heads deeply to Dietrich.
Dietrich gave orders to his knights.
“Interrogate everyone here, and put those guilty in prison.”
While Seliya was sleeping in the bed, something seeped through the crack in the door.
Ssasasa-.
A grain of sand pushed in through a small crack in the door that an ant could pass through.
Ssasasa-.
The identity of the grain of sand was Arthur.
Arthur used transformation magic to temporarily turn into sand.
People change like grains of sand. It was a bizarre thing that only Arthur could do. Who would have imagined?
Someone is coming through the gap in the door as sand. It was probably something no one expected.
“...”
At that moment, Seliya was falling into a deep sleep. He could hear the breathing of Seliya, who was sleeping oblivious to the world.
After a while. A black shadow flickered next to Seliya, who was sleeping with her long eyelashes curled.
Arthur grinned, baring his teeth as the shadow completely covered her.
Arthur sat down on the bed and looked down at Seliya as if he were looking at a godly jewel.
“Yes... You look so beautiful when you sleep.”
“?”
Seliya suddenly woke up to an unpleasant voice and opened her eyes wide.
“!”
Before her eyes, she saw something she did not want to see.
White blonde hair and golden eyes. Arthur, wearing an emerald necklace, touched his lips.
His lips were shiny as if they were oiled.
“Sparkling like a jewel! How can people be like this?”
“!”
Arthur smiled sinisterly, squeezing both of Seliya's wrists tightly.
“Ha, I love it...”
Seliya avoided her gaze and screamed as she watched his eyes flutter like crazy.
“Let go! You crazy guy! Let go of this right now!”
“Why are you even struggling? The Art itself.”
The tendons on Arthur's forearms sprouted. With one hand he lifted Seliya's two thin wrists above her head and crushed them.
And he covered Seliya's mouth with his other hand.
“Ugh!”
When Arthur covered Seliya's mouth with his hand, she could no longer make a sound.
Seliya's mouth was blocked, desperately contemplating whether or not to use her supernatural ability.
If the Arthur in front of her is his alter ego like last time, she realizes that she has special abilities.
Seliya was currently not holding the dagger that Dietrich had given her, so it was difficult to tell whether the Arthur in front of her was his alter ego or not.
When Seliya's gaze met Arthur's shoulders trembled at her.
“Huh... I, I... Do you know how much I want to have you?”
Arthur looked down at Seliya, his eyes filled with possessiveness.
“Even if you become disheveled and a mess in my arms, you will still be beautiful...”
Quack!
“?”
Seliya bit Arthur's hand.
"Oh oh. Oh, my. You provoke me.”
Red blood flowed from Arthur's hand. Seliya bit so hard that the area she was bitten quickly swelled.
But Arthur just looked at Seliya with a lazy expression without even blinking.
“What are you going to do after that?”
Arthur twitched the corners of his mouth and squinted at one corner of his eye.
“I can afford it. Can you do it...?”
Arthur climbed on top of Seliya. He lowered his position and placed his lips close to Seliya's lips.
Seliya bit him so hard that Arthur's blood ran down her face. Arthur licked his dripping blood with his tongue.
"Ah-. It’s delicious... Maybe it’s because you bit me, but my blood, which should be tasteless, is so sweet.”
Arthur, with a face that seemed to contain sweet red wine, made her body tremble.
The unpleasant touch of Arthur's body irritated Seliya's skin.
Arthur said, quickly rolling his eyes at her even more excited face.
“Okay, let’s see... What will I make of you? What would it look like? Are you sleeping? The way you open your eyes and look at me normally? Or, I like the way you attack like a vicious animal...Otherwise, I could make you my woman right here and now.”
Bright red eyes were located beneath black hair lightly stained with rainwater.
Smooth, flawless skin, sharp nose bridge, and tightly pressed lips.
He was a handsome man who made you forget the cold at once and sent goosebumps down your spine.
People who met the man's gaze felt his hair stand on end.

Seliya glared at Arthur with her eyes wide open.
Arthur observed Seliya's eyelashes, and each eyebrow, and licked her lips with his tongue.
“I love seeing you rebelling, but I also want to see you drinking this.”
Arthur grabbed Seliya's hand and began to rummage through the hem of his dress with his free hand.
Soon, he took a vial out of his hand.
“Do you know what this is?”
Red liquid flowed in Arthur's hand.
Seliya knew very well what the potion was in Arthur's hand.
The potion was the same color as the one Illeon tried to give her earlier.
“I originally meant to write this to myself, not to you...”
Arthur, who was looking at Seliya with dilated eyes, took off the cap of the potion.
“You did everything wrong. Because you left me and hung out with someone else... You really know how much I protected you...You can't even imagine. Ha... Reina, I stop getting so excited when I throw that damn thing into monster food! Haha!"
Arthur let out a series of moans as he watched her blush.
Seliya looked up at Arthur, who was acting like he was crazy, with her cold gaze.
“I feel good... I'll make it for you. I have to see with my own eyes the heat in your eyes...”
Arthur bit his lower lip and removed his hand from Seliya's mouth.
"Most... For your beauty, I will stuff you alive in my cage. With your parrot.”
Arthur let out a feverish voice and brought the elixir to Seliya's mouth.
Clap-.
There was the sound of the door opening.
