Episode 30
She looked at Matilda first.
A face that knows nothing.
Matilda did not know this man.
In this case, it was clear how to act in the future.
Anita slowly lifted her wedding dress, which had long lost its original elegance because it was stained black.
"...princess?"
As the white thighs were revealed, the faces of the servants and police turned into deep confusion.
Without wasting a moment, he quickly took out a revolver from the holster worn on his thigh.
Collide.
When pointing forward, the servant backed away, not knowing what to do.
"Anita Wöröny!
"What are you doing?"
Matilda's frightened voice came from beside me.
"Auntie, stay behind me."
"All Edenbahir employees are selected after strict verification!
Someone suspects the killer...
."
"I already met him outside once.
"If you want to die, you can just continue standing there."
Only then did Matilda's mouth close.
"Hey."
A magician in an amusement park.
It was definitely true.
Although it was slightly changed, it was clear.
This attendant's voice was the same as the magician with the jewel mask I met at the amusement park.
"Are you sure you didn't come to the wedding to ask my name?"
That moment.
"... under."
The eyes, pointed cautiously, slowly relaxed.
"I thought you were an immature young lady and a little sensitive."
Anita adjusted the revolver with a tease of admiration.
The man asked, looking down the barrel of the gun.
"Do you know how to use this item?"
"I said I wanted it and I will confirm it immediately."
"Only if you're ready to blow my mind."
Then, he casually puts both hands in his pants pockets.
His attitude was so relaxed that it was difficult to believe his life was in danger.
The police, sensing something was wrong, belatedly drew their weapons.
"princess.
"How did this happen?"
"This man is not Edenbahir's servant.
He is a stranger.
"They approached us intentionally."
And maybe, no, I'm pretty sure it's the grande dame's contact.
'This is probably the man who approached the doctor.'
Now I see that this man's features were all false.
I thought he was simply a man with a dark appearance, but his dark eyes, pointed nose, and deep nasolabial folds gave him the impression of wearing makeup.
As I searched every corner of his face to find his true face.
"Why are you looking so intently, shyly?
"Did you fall in love with me?"
The corner of the man's mouth curled deeply at the absurd reaction.
Quang!
The ground seemed to shake with a loud roar.
Everyone's shocked eyes turned to the window.
Heavy, gray smoke rose from a place near the duke's residence.
"what happened...
Pff!"
The gun fell from the officer's free hand.
A light, well-aimed blow hit the back of the head and the policeman collapsed, as defenseless as a doll whose strings had been cut.
"You bastard!"
The situation with the second police officer was no different.
He was hit in the face by a weapon thrown by a magician and hit in the solar plexus by a series of punches, causing him to collapse.
Then, the moment Anita calmed her heartbeat as if it was going to explode due to the sudden explosion.
They say that the magician's gun was already pointed at Matilda.
The man asked, looking at Anita.
"Ma'am.
The name?”
Despite the intense movement, breathing was calm.
I think I heard the same question when I met a man.
A killer wouldn't know her name.
Anita responded as she felt a ray of sweat running between her palms that held the gun.
"Matilda Edenbahir."
The wizard's eyes narrowed in interest.
"Still don't want to reveal your name? good.
Let's bet, ladies.
Which one will pull the trigger first?
If I win, I'll get your name, and if you win...
."
Breathe.
The real Matilda took a deep breath.
The barrel of the magician's gun touched his forehead.
"Taking my body?"
Anita responded calmly to the ridiculous laughter.
"I know you won't be able to kill your aunt."
“ME? why?
...
Iced coffee.
Why am I Veronica Edenbahir's dog?"
Anitta's eyes widened.
The great lady's name that came out of the wizard's mouth seemed so strange and distant.
"Dear Lady Matilda.
Do I also look like Veronica Edenbahir's dog to you?
As Matilda swallowed dry saliva with her eyes closed, the magician turned to look at her.
"Open your eyes.
Look closely at my face.
Hurry."
The fearful eyes were revealed beneath the eyelids.
Matilda took a deep breath and looked at the wizard's face.
Feelings of doubt, confusion and confusion bloomed one after another in Matilda's delicate eyes.
"ah. you're...
."
Meanwhile, Anita reflects on Lancelot's advice.
[You deserve praise for what you brought.
But what's the point if you can't shoot?]
I pulled the trigger.
Taang!
Blood sprayed and the wizard's upper body fell backwards.
'...I shot.
People.
I gripped the gun tighter to control the shaking in my hands.
Then he forced Matilda, who had fallen to the ground, to get up.
"Auntie!
Let's go!"
"Legs, strength in my legs..." ."
At that moment, a strong force grabbed Anita by the back of the head and took away the revolver.
"Ew."
His strong shoulders were dotted with red marks.
The magician laughed like a madman, his left ear tattered.
A frightening voice whispered as if going crazy with joy.
"You're the first lady to hit me."
The moment I met gray eyes.
A cold feeling running through my bones touched my forehead.
It was Anita's revolver.
“I wish I could offer myself to you.
"You're the first person I regret letting go, Anita."
If a man pulls the trigger like that, I will die.
"Know the name of the man who is going to kill you.
My name is...
."
Sigmundo.
A moment when extreme tension threatened to explode his heart.
Suddenly my breath rose to the tip of my chin and my vision went completely white.
chest...
No, it's hard to breathe in moments like this...
.
'Ah.'
Although it was only for a moment, the mage's eyes seemed to contain a strange emotion.
Taang!
Immediately after the second shot, Anita lost consciousness.
***
There was a smell of old books somewhere.
I know the origin of that smell.
This is the smell coming from Lancelot's room.
Lancelot was sick from a very young age, so he always had a book by his side.
Because of this, his room often felt like a small office, full of books from different areas and the smell of old paper that they gave off.
Anita looked at her dear friend sitting next to her, his nose buried in a book, concentrating.
Claunia, who was particularly distant from books, was strangely absorbed in reading.
Anita was vaguely convinced when she saw Claunia, who had not yet taken off her girlish form.
This is not reality.
It was a memory from a long time ago.
"Twins are original sin."
Claunia spoke as if she was declaring.
As I looked at her with a perplexed face, Claunia's eyes rolled back and forth.
— I'm not saying that's what I think.
Look, it's written here.
She held out the book she was reading with a confident expression on her face.
It was the founding myth of the Atlantean Empire, a now-vanished nation.
The founding myth of Atlantis was also the root of the northeastern people, the ruling class of the Kingdom of Montebbio.
I remembered it exactly because it was a story I learned in history class.
Cláunia said.
'The nanny said that.
They say that the Kingdom of Hespain, where I was born, and the Kingdom of Montebbio, where you were born, are extremely distant descendants of Nuaja.
This is why both countries should look down on the twins.
It was the first time I heard this story and, at the same time, it was a difficult statement to understand.
Since Nuaja killed her twin brothers out of contempt, doesn't that mean her descendants should do the same?
'Despise...
'What exactly is this?'
'They say they kill or abandon one of the second and firstborn.
Before denial asks.
If there is corruption, the family will fall apart and a plague will spread throughout the region.'
'Well, does that make sense?
It's all a lie.
There is no denial.
'But my nanny said that.
The twins cause extinction and plague...
.'
widely.
At that moment, Lancelot abruptly closed the cover of the book and got up from the bed.
Claunia looked cautious as the boy approached her with long strides.
'What, what?
Ew...
.'
Lancelot stuffed something into Claunia's small, open mouth.
'Swallow it while you're talking nonsense.'
Claunia, who was looking dazed, shook her shoulders and shouted immediately.
'evil!
How does this taste, use it!
'Et tut tut!'
'It's okay, Cláunia. are you well?'
'Hey, Lancelot!
What if I give you some medicine to take?
Hey! there!'
She snorted and let out her anger and ran after Lancelot who had disappeared.
Anita looked at the two of them like that and ended up running after them.
A young day in Edenbahir.
My happiest moment.
But why did the memory of that day come back to life like a dream?
