Maximilian
2023.12.15.

However, contrary to everyone’s worries, a completely unexpected scene unfolded.

“What are you doing to be so late? The sun is setting.”

“That guy, Maximilian… isn’t he?”

“That’s right. He’s my cute little brother.”

Leonard giggled and stomped hard on Maximilian’s head. Baron put Belluce down against a tree and ran to Leonard.

“Are you okay? Diloana… ”

“Oh, that. I was going to clean it up anyway.”

[Take this off right now!]

Baron had clearly seen a small silver fox before leaving, but Diloana had turned into a wolf the size of a house and was running wild.

Unfortunately, she was trapped in a magical prison and couldn’t move. Diloana growled and hit herself here and there, but the bars didn’t budge.

“I was extracting Maximilian’s magic power when he sneaked up on me from behind. I tried to kill him but I didn’t have enough time, so I just held him back.” He

spoke so casually that he didn’t understand what had happened for a moment. Baron could only say, “I see.” With a blank expression.

It wasn’t a good time for Delona. She had been fighting and was losing strength when she attacked Leonard. But since she was absorbing Maximilian’s magic power, his strength had gotten stronger than before.

[Hahaha.]

Lottie, who was following her, saw Delona in the prison and laughed loudly.

[You look terrible, Delona.]

“Laustonio! How did you get here!”

[He stopped by on his way.]

“What are you talking about?”

Leonard said, pointing at Delona. Cordelia explained everything that had happened a moment ago.

“… … Delona showed up just then. Then he bit and killed all ten of them. That’s right, Lottie isn’t actually a low-level beast, but a very strong beast even in Glendeny.”

“Hmm. I thought he was a lowly dog, but he’s useful.”

At that, Lottie stretched his neck and introduced himself in a dignified voice.

[I am Laustonio, the fifth plague of Glendeny.]

“Yes. Disaster. From now on, you will protect my disciple well.”

[… … .]

Lottie, who had always been polite, was momentarily speechless at Leonard’s indifferent reaction. Regardless, Leonard took his gaze off Lottie and walked back to Maximilian, who was crawling on the floor.

Cordelia followed after him.

“How did you catch Maximilian? This man has been following me since Wilarth?”

“Well. Uh.”

He answered me consistently, even though he clearly showed that he was annoyed.

“Are you trying to kill me here?”

“No. I’m going to extract his magic and use it.”

“What about magic? Is it torture among wizards?”

“What about torture? Do you think I’m that free? It’s the process of making a medium for soul transfer magic.”

“… … Huh? What about me?”

“What are you talking about? Oh, don’t bother me and go away.”

Leonard waved his arm at Cordelia as if he was chasing a fly. Cordelia froze in place like a stone and just moved her lips. Baron intervened.

“You’re thinking of using Maximilian as a medium. What a clever master you are!”

“You weren’t thinking of using me as a medium?”

“What kind of medium would you use a weakling like you as?”

Leonard snorted and stabbed the dagger into the back of Maximilian’s right hand as he crawled like a bug.

“Ah!”

“You have to be at least as good as my brother to be a medium. Isn’t that right, Max?”

“J-J-kill me, Lee… … .”

Maximilian trembled like a test subject stuck on a pin. Maximilian was already suffering from the loss of a significant amount of magic power, so even speaking was painful for him.

“I, I, then black, continue, ugh, magic, ugh, can I learn?”

“What the hell has she been talking about?”

Leonard suddenly got annoyed when Cordelia, who had been sobbing, burst into tears. Baron smiled awkwardly and briefly explained what had happened.

After hearing the explanation, Leonard glared at the knight who was leaning against the wooden pillar and passed out.

“Veluce, that punk is talking nonsense… … .”

“Lady Cordelia has been going through a lot. You said you could give it all up for your teacher when you came here earlier. How touching that noble heart was.”

“Huh. So that’s why you’ve been like a duck and not doing your homework for the past few days. I thought you’d give me double the amount of homework for the time being.”

“Tell me in advance, uh, tell me. “I don’t even know that.”

“You should have just asked me in the first place. You were just groaning and imagining all sorts of things.”

Cordelia couldn’t find a word to refute him because his words were true from beginning to end. If she had asked him honestly, she wouldn’t have been suffering alone like this.

“Ugh. It hurts.”

As the tension eased, pain came all at once.

After facing the demons multiple times and rolling and jumping around, her whole body ached. Of all the pain, her back side hurt the most. She must have been scraped by a tree branch.

Leonard sighed as she stumbled, holding onto her side.

“What else? Did you trip on a rock and fall?”

“No, but I think my side got scratched a little.”

“Come here.”

He put his hand on Cordelia’s side. Since it was a small wound, he thought the pain would disappear with healing magic, but it didn’t. Leonard’s expression hardened.

“When did you get this wound?”

“I don’t know. “ I think I got scratched by a tree branch while running without thinking.”

“You idiot. This isn’t a scratch by a tree branch!”

“Why?”

He shouted. Cordelia blinked her big eyes and looked at Leonard.

“Haa. Doesn’t it hurt?”

“It really hurts.”

“If it’s this much of a wound, it’s not a tree branch, but a tear from a demon’s claw. Oh my, you didn’t say anything when the wound was this big.”

Baron, who came next to her, sighed upon seeing Cordelia’s wound.

“Hey, no way. It can’t be that bad. Then she should have passed out like Beluche.”

“That’s it. It’s a strange wound that she didn’t pass out.”

Cordelia whined.

The wound was on her side, close to her back, so Cordelia couldn’t see her own wound directly, but she didn’t think it was serious enough for Baron to sigh.

Of course, the two had different opinions.

“What should we do, Lady Cordelia? I’d rather… give her medicine… .”

“Okay. Make her pass out and spread it out next to Beluche. “ I can’t stand the sutures

when I’m sober.” While thinking, “Why are you making a fuss about something that’s not that neat ?” Baron took a bottle out of his bosom and handed it to her.

“Drink it.” “What’s this?” “It’s a medicine that will help you sleep soundly. Both pain and thoughts will disappear.” Cordelia grabbed the bottle Baron handed her and swallowed it in one gulp. Fortunately, it didn’t hurt. And she didn’t feel sleepy either. “But this sleeping medicine… …” Leonard caught her as she fell sideways. He cast a healing spell on Cordelia’s wound. As the white light disappeared, her complexion became more relaxed. “Take her. I have to finish off Maximilian now.” “Yes, Master.” * * * She remembered it here and there. Baron’s worried face, someone’s back, or Lottie’s dull gray fur rose to the surface and disappeared repeatedly. It felt like she had woken up from a very long sleep. Cordelia realized that her body was shaking. That was her first sensation. She barely managed to lift her eyelids and light poured in. She frowned and closed her eyes again. Then someone made a shade with their hands. “Are you awake now?” It was the first time she had heard a voice. When she first heard Rosenbler’s voice, she thought it was as clear as a bell, but this one was low and sweet. It was hard to tell which one was better. Thanks to the shade with her hands blocking the sunlight, Cordelia was able to open her eyes completely. The jolting movement must have been because she was inside the carriage. She looked up and saw an angel with platinum hair and mysterious purple eyes. “… … Big. Who are you?” Cordelia was instantly captivated by the angel. She couldn’t take her eyes off the angel with her mouth slightly open. The angel snorted, resting his chin on his hand. “I can’t even recognize my master anymore.” “My master doesn’t look like this.” “I originally looked like this.” “No. Our Master. Master.” Slowly she came to her senses. The events that happened before she fell asleep flashed before her eyes. From going to Diloana’s estate with Leonard, to crossing the line between life and death with Beluche, to Lotti appearing and saving her, and finally resolving the misunderstanding she had with Leonard. “Huh? Huh?” “Shouldn’t you shut up? I’m going to go to the fly.” “Is this a person’s, no, Master’s original face?” “How many times do I have to tell you that?” Leonard got annoyed when she kept asking the same question. The personality was familiar, but the face was so unfamiliar.

I thought there was only one face like Rosenblu in the world, but there was another one similar to him.

“How’s your wound?”

“Wound? Oh. Side. Huh? It doesn’t hurt anymore, ugh.”

“It looks like it hasn’t completely healed yet.”

“Ouch, why are you poking me!”

“You’re starting special training today.”

Somehow, this sentence felt familiar. Cordelia instinctively shook her head quickly.

“I just woke up? I got seriously injured and haven’t fully recovered. My head suddenly started hurting.”

“No. You slept a lot for three days and recovered a lot, so don’t worry.”

“Three days? It’s been three days since I woke up?”

“Yes. Since you didn’t wake up, I thought Baron had given you poison instead of sleeping pills.”

Knock-knock—

At that moment, a knock was heard on the carriage outside. Cordelia quickly opened the carriage window to avoid the topic of special training.

Baron greeted her happily.

“Lady Cordelia! You’re finally awake.”

“Yes. Just now.”

“Thank goodness. For three days, I’ve been suspected of poisoning Lady Cordelia. How much my master has been pestering me… … .”

There was a reason why Baron was overly welcoming her. But sadly, he couldn’t finish his sentence.

Leonard got up and slammed the window shut so hard that it made a loud bang. Cordelia looked back, dumbfounded.

“No, a person is talking… … .”

“So?”

“… … It’s just that.”

What’s the point of having an angel in the shell? It’s a rotten fruit inside.

He crossed his legs arrogantly and leaned back. When he did that with Craig’s body, he had laughed inwardly, thinking it was a shame, but when he did the same thing with his original body, he couldn’t help but feel guilty

. His face was so holy that he had never even uttered a curse.

“What are you looking at?”

“Is Maximilian adopted? How can he not look alike at all?”

Of course, Maximilian was handsome, but he was different from Leonard’s beauty. This was the first time I had seen such clear and perfect platinum hair in my life. And his eyes were so mysterious that they didn’t seem human.

“If he was adopted, it would be better.”

“Oh, by the way, what happened to Maximilian?”

The last thing she remembered about Maximilian was his miserable appearance crawling on the floor like a bug.

Leonard pointed his finger at the top of the carriage. Cordelia nodded, thinking that he meant the sky.

“Oh, you killed him after all.”

“No. He didn’t kill him? He’s up there. With your husband.”

“Up? Where up?”

Cordelia raised her head and looked up. If up here wasn’t the sky, it was the roof of the carriage.

“You didn’t put him on the roof? Alive?”

“How could I kill my only brother? Of course I put him on there alive.”

“With my dead husband?”

“Yeah. “The space upstairs is more spacious than I thought.”

Now she understood why Maximilian was her blood brother. Cordelia shook her head.
