However, it is not yet certain whether this rapid growth will actually be beneficial to the warlocks themselves.
'It would be impossible to take away the fate of Venus easily.'
Moreover, this time, Venus is threatening enough to make them feel threatened. So...
The warlock glanced at Rachel.
The beautiful beauty lowered the corners of her lips, raised her chin, and raised her gaze.
As if she were proclaiming herself to be someone noble.
***
Back to the Katzen mansion...
"Darling, I was worried it would take this long."
Marieu took Samon's clothes when they arrived at the mansion at dusk.
"It took some time to convince him."
"Were you rejected?"
Marieu knew that the port and shipping cost reimbursement date was approaching.
For several days, his mood was at rock bottom because he couldn't solve it with his own strength.
"Yeah, but that's okay. I have another way to fill it."
"This will put out the urgent fire, right? There's not much left to do. If I come this far and still fail to handle a single minor matter and ruin the work, I won't be able to stop you even if God takes away your remaining leg."
In other words, it was also a threat that he would not forgive anyone who messed up Medea's work.
The golden pouch that the Saintess had given him felt heavy on Samon's chest
It is not a small amount of money for the savior of a clean country to offer.
'Even though she's called a Saintess, she still takes care of her own stomach.'
Samon suppressed his inner sneer at the sight of the coveted lump of gold that did not match her beautiful face.
Perhaps because Rachel's appearance sometimes reflected someone hateful, Samon felt resentment instead of gratitude for Rachel's help...
Her lovely and beautiful appearance was not to Samon's taste either.
What makes him tick is...
"Darling?"
Samon grabbed Marieu's chin harshly.
'She's such a docile and weak woman. She's the kind of woman I can bend and sway in any way I want.'
"Marieu. You said you would do anything for me, right?"
What Samon feels is desire.
Even if he lost his leg and his family was embroiled in scandal, Marieu stayed by his side until the end.
Even though she was betrayed by him, lost her child, and had everything taken away from her, she was a foolish woman who would come back to him because she loved him in the end...
"Tell me. Was it a lie? Was it a lie you told to fool me?"
"That, that can't be true."
When Marieu, who was caught in a vicious grip, looked up at Samon with fearful eyes, his mood Improved even more.
"I can do anything for you... When will you trust me..."
Samon felt delighted at the tears welling up in her large eyes.
Yes. Even though that girl Medea took away his power, his wealth, his strength, everything...
There was still this one woman left who held him up like the sky, and whom he could control perfectly.
"Marieu, I have something for you to do."
Look, Marieu will stab that bitch in the heart with this worthless woman who will laugh at her.
Just like a young Princess who had nothing struck the back of the head of the Regent's family.
The history of counterattacks repeats itself
***
Even at the late dinner table, Samon's mood remained elated.
Even though he expected to rain down lightning when a new servant spilled water, Samon did not try to cut his wrist or slap his face.
Even when returning to the bedroom after dinner, Samon refused to be helped by Marieu and picked up the crutches himself.
"Darling. I'm glad to see you're feeling better."
Marieu, who was staring blankly at Samon who was changing his clothes, said.
"How can I feel bad about walking past that woman?"
Samon kept secret the fact that Rachel had promised him new legs.
In fact, it was because he didn't have the confidence to explain to Marieu the strange miracle that he had experienced himself and found hard to believe.
"Yes. I'll take care of it."
Samon shook off Marieu's hand, which was trying to change his clothes as usual, and went behind the translucent curtain.
"..."
Marieu sat on the bed and watched silently as Samon's shadow was cast on the wall through the candle-lit curtain.
'When my leg gets better, no, when It grows back, then I'll have another chance.'
Samon let out a chuckle without realizing it.
The miraculous hope shown by the Saintess instantly pulled up Samon, who was wallowing in the mud.
He wasn't afraid anymore.
'Never give up on Valdina.'
If he has a hard time, his son will aim for Valdina, and if he has a hard time, his grandson will aim for Valdina.
Having lost a limb once, no setback or hardship can ever overcome Samon.
Samon, whose imagination had been spreading out brilliantly, suddenly felt overwhelmed and stopped changing his clothes, hugged Marieu tightly.
"If the Princess falls, we can get out of this damn place."
But he didn't forget to grab Marieu again.
The first child is expected to be born to her as a reward, so Marieu must also pay the price.
"All you have to do is do as you're told and report that girl Medea for deliberately aborting the Fourth Princess's child."
Samon felt no guilt at all about harming the innocent Medea by using a child who never existed in the first place.
Just as he had destroyed the child that Marieu had conceived with his own hands...
"..."
The corners of Samon's mouth lowered as the silence grew longer.
The voice became shrill.
"Why, are you thinking differently now? Are you afraid of Medea?"
Marieu bit her lips for a moment.
"... I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared, but I could do it for you."
Her words seemed even more sincere with her clenched fists.
"... But even if I make such accusations, who will believe me? The person I'm talking to is now the Princess of this country."
"Don't worry about that. A very great person has decided to help us. All you have to do is testify as you are told."
Rachel said she would bring Medea to justice.
"But I also need a justification. The Princess's evil deeds are so hideous that the world is surprised and doubts her actions up to now."
Samon held Marieu in his arms, who
nodded with all her might.
"I know how difficult it is to ask you to do this. But things are different now, Marieu. I will never abandon you again."
His heart was already swell.
Hope sometimes leads people to make foolish choices.
Despite having been defeated by Medea countless times, Simon still held out hope that this time he would succeed.
After experiencing black magic, the hope of regaining his lost leg overshadowed his reason.
He was too busy dreaming about a future where he had already achieved success.
"Because I have no one else but you. Really."
Of course, for Samon, who has one leg missing, there is only Marieu.
It may not be the case for him, who has both legs intact.
"Oh... Darling."
Marieuu buried her face in Samon's shoulder and cried.
The moment she smelled the faint scent of lilies coming from his clothes, Marieu's eyes changed.
Traces of a strange woman found in Samon.
In his eyes, I still look like a brainless idiot?
Like that time when she found the 4th Princess's hairpin on his clothes and was fooled?
"Darling, you are truly the same."
"Yeah? Of course."
Marieu let out a faint sigh and hugged Samon's shoulder tightly.
So he couldn't see Marieu's expression at all.
"That's right. My love too."
In contrast to her sweet voice, her eyes also have an eerie glow.
