KFBRV - Chapter 135



“You said that three years of contempt ended easily. So wouldn’t that level of affection end more easily?”

“Albrecht, rather than insulting someone’s sincerity, tell me you don’t like it. Then I won’t be this angry.”

“There is no need to erase an oath made in the name of God because of fleeting feelings-”

“Odette.”

He interrupted Odette with a sweet voice. Before she had time to realize what was happening, his purple eyes suddenly turned a deep gold.

[The mind of the 'owner of the necklace' has been 'brainwashed' by Sion.]

Without even a moment to resist, her brain was torn apart in an instant.

'This crazy kid. Doing something again...'

His lips moved to say something, but no sound was heard.

A sense of emptiness, like floating in a space without gravity.

When she came to, she was sitting on the floor in a hazy state.

[Sion’s ‘brainwashing’ has been lifted.]

Odette looked at the status window in front of her and became filled with anger.

'This fucking kid.'

Sion was still sitting on one knee opposite her, his hand still holding her shoulder as if binding her.

However, Odette could only glare at him because she still had a hazy feeling in her body. Sion gave her a twisted smile.

“Phew. Why do you make something this tiring, Albrecht?”

Judging by the relief in his purple eyes, it seemed that he had successfully removed the Purifier's Oath while Odette's memories were cut off.

Hot air rushed from him, he was drenched in cold sweat. It was as if he was trying hard not to break her spirit.

[ Caution! As a side effect of 'brainwashing', you may temporarily confuse memories with reality. ]

'And it leaves behind side effects? This son of a bitch.'

“Don’t ever say you’re leaving so easily again. It’s a goal that won’t be achieved, and it’ll only hurt my feelings. You know what kind of being the Transcendent One is, don’t you?”

“..."

“You’re so fragile, there’s no guarantee that the brainwashing will end without a single mistake. So let’s not fight, Albrecht.”

Sion's eyes, which had now turned purple, were filled with mad obsession. He seemed to be very satisfied with this situation.

“I will do well so that I won’t be hated.”

Sion released the hand that was holding Odette tightly and gently stroked her hair.

A light smile and a gentle voice.

It was disgusting how he acted as if he was courting her while threatening her

It was at this moment that Odette tried to twist her feeble body to get away from him.

She heard a crash-shattering sound from the window.

Odette, who barely managed to turn her head, opened her eyes wide. The sword was flying at an incredible speed, aimed precisely at Sion's neck.

“You son of a bitch. Will you keep your hands out of our own hair?”

With the voice of Victor possessed by evil.

***

Wheeze-. 

The moon-blade flew in like it could pierce through anything. Sion caught the flying blade with his bare hands.

“Who are you to make such a ruckus in front of? That’s why you’re from the streets.”

Even though blood was flowing out of the wound that exposed the bone, Sion only lightly tsk tsk and clicked his tongue.

While the wound was healing, a red-haired man entered the room through the window through which the moon had just flown in.

'Why is that human here?'

Victor's appearance alone was enough to be disconcerting, but then his low, serious voice was added to the mix.

“Odette, are you okay? Weren’t you surprised?”

With the appearance of the two people, Odette could easily guess.

'Not only Sion but those two humans too... They have attached people to me.'

A hollow laugh almost burst from her mouth in frustration.

'So what on earth is different from my last life?'

Their hate level has only dropped to 0, but they still follow her wherever she goes, disrupting every plan Odette has made.

Isn't it just like the chase in my past life, except they're not trying to kill me?

'If things don't go as planned, they use their powers on me, send people to investigate me, and barge into my space without permission.'

Why doesn't anyone ask her permission? Why do they naturally interrupt her?

In this life, what Odette wanted was not love, but the bare minimum of respect. Was it too much for her to even wish for that?

Look what Sion just did. He just messed with her mind, saying he liked her.

'What's the point of struggling so much to avoid becoming Ferdinand's doll? In the end, I'm going to turn you into a doll for these monsters!'

It was at that moment. Outside the window, the sound of raindrops falling could be heard. Soon, that sound changed into the sound of heavy rain.

At the same time, another vague afterimage appeared before her eyes. The afterimages of the three men she had encountered in her past life.

[ Caution! As a side effect of 'brainwashing', you may temporarily confuse memories with reality. ]

Only then did she realize the exact meaning of the warning: confusion meant that 'events in memory and reality appear to be entangled.'

'Damn. The Count of all people decorated this place to resemble the interior of a townhouse-'

Pouring rain, a villa that resembles a Count's mansion, three transcendent beings, Odette on her knees.

It was too similar to the moment in her past life when she was hiding in the secret passage of the Count's residence and almost got caught by these three.

Because of that, memories of her past life and this moment seemed mixed up in Odette's eyes.

Victor approached her, who still had no strength left in her body.

“Honey, I was worried.”

Victor's face was a mixture of relief and concern, but Odette saw a face filled with hatred, disillusionment, and laughter.

“...Are you worried?”

Odette, still slightly dazed, chuckled at the word.

“Oh, I see. Of course, you would, Colonel. I left with a high fever, didn’t I? I must have been a great spectacle, groaning like a corpse. How worried were you that you would miss the fun?”

At that cynical remark, Victor's brisk walking steps stopped.

“You said that it was a famous scene where you could only see myself dying once.”

“Honey, that’s-”

“Don’t call me that!”

“No, honey.”

“Because it makes me sick and my teeth chatter every time I hear it.”

Since the last word she heard before she died was 'honey', Odette was always terrified by that word.

No, were those words the only terrible things? Their very existence was always terrible to Odette.

“Odette.”

John, who had been watching the situation from a step back, called out to her in a cautious voice.

“We came because we were really worried about you. You looked really sick when you left. You still look like you have a fever.”

Another John's voice overlapped his calm voice.

“Yeah. You’ve always been that kind of person.”

“Why? You used to hate and despise me so much. Why are you worrying about me now?”

At those words, John shut his mouth tightly with guilt. Victor was fidgeting uncharacteristically at the sight of Odette, who he had never seen before.

Sion just looked down at Odette with sunken eyes.

As they closed their mouths as if at a loss for words, the only sound in the room was the sound of rain.

It was at that moment. With a ringing sound, a status window appeared before Odette's eyes.

[ Charlotte soon appears in front of the male leads. ]

[ 10 minutes later, the male protagonists' disgust level increases by 61 times. ]

'What?'

Odette's face turned pale at the sudden notification.

[With Charlotte’s appearance, the special reward settlement payment period will be brought forward!]

[ Result of special reward settlement for the last quest: Reputation exceeded 500 / 2 days remaining ]

[ Special Reward: 'Shackles of Time' (4) ]

[ Time Shackles: You can stop the actions of a designated opponent for 1000 hours. (Based on an adult male / Applies to changes depending on the opponent's physical strength and mental power) ]

'Why, all of a sudden? This is ridiculous. I already checked the remaining time with my dagger. It was clearly three days left just a moment ago.'

Odette hurriedly opened her inventory window.

[ The scheduled use date of Invisible Truth (Dagger) has been changed. ]

[ Invisible Truth (Dagger) ]

[ 10 minutes later, a dagger cut the invisible thing 'under the cliff of Meursault'. ]

But as if it were a lie, the status window had the words 10 minutes instead of three days.

But that wasn't the end of it. Tiring, another status window notification sounded.
