Chapter 447 – Chapter 447 Magic School Shutra (3-58)
As soon as Duke Brandrup and Louis arrived in Atler, the story they heard from the Viscount shocked them.
“Is that true?”
“That’s right.”
“I often heard bad rumors about him, but I never thought he would do something like that….”
The viscount told the duke and Louise everything about Anna’s near death and Jeff’s crime.
Kai Brandtrup couldn’t help but collapse, and Louis, who was listening with him next to him, couldn’t easily escape from the shock.
‘Jeff, is this lunatic out of his mind?’
Louis had heard rumors about Jeff’s tendencies and knew something about them.
Addiction to alcohol, addiction to women, even the propensity to reach out to commoners when in a bad mood….
There were rumors about how he behaved on a daily basis, so many people doubted it, but Lewis already knew that the rumors were true.
Still, Louis kept his friendship with Jeff because he welcomed his low reputation.
It was because of the expectation that the more he behaved like that, the more despair Karin would feel when they got married.
However, if the madness was directed at his mother, the story would have been different.
“How is Anna now? When I went to visit him, he refused to meet me.”
“I was told that at dawn that day she was in great shock, and that she still lies down sick, having completely stopped eating and drinking.”
“Her….”
“Dare… Her mother….”
The more Louis listened to the Viscount about his mother, the more the heat welling up in his forehead began to cook his brain.
“Jeff… That bird… That… I want to meet him once.”
“Louis. Calm down.”
The duke did not rebuke Louise for his excitement.
He felt that it was a shame as a man to endure and bear with his mother’s near-rape.
“Sir Lewis, calm down. Anyway, Jeff hasn’t regained consciousness yet.”
“Come to think of it, he said there was a big deal, but I haven’t heard anything about it after that.”
“I tried to explain that part now. Mr. Seong Su-ho saved the Duchess from being in trouble.”
“Seongsuho?”
The viscount was involuntarily excited and began to explain as if he had seen it himself.
The viscount went beyond having a favorable mind for Seong Su-ho and considered him a benefactor.
As a result, he felt joy in praising him even though it had nothing to do with his own achievements.
Seong Soo-ho, who was in charge of Jeff, went around the castle looking for him when he was nowhere to be seen.
And Seong Soo-ho, who was looking for Jeff based on where he was headed….
“At a really dangerous moment, you heard the sound and saved the Duchess.”
“You’ve been really lucky.”
“That’s right. Come to think of it, I heard that it was Sir Lewis who invited Seong Su-ho.”
“Yes, yes.”
Lewis couldn’t hide his embarrassment when the name of a completely unexpected person came out.
In contrast, the Duke’s expression as he looked at him erased the solemn expression he usually showed him and began to look at him with a pleased expression.
“You invited a distinguished guest to our family. She did well.”
“Go, thank you.”
Lewis was praised, but he couldn’t be happier.
His father, who was always strict with himself, was smiling happily as he mentioned the name of Seongsuho.
When Louise saw the Duke laughing, he began to feel more guilty than jealous.
‘Her mother is woven with that baby again… What will my father think if he finds out about the banquet?’
Lewis recalled a scene while watching The Duke.
He saw the scene where the man he invited hugged and danced with his mother….
The Duke, unaware of Louis’s intentions, nodded and stood up to open his mouth.
“This is not the case. Let’s go Louis.”
“Where are you talking?”
At Lewis’ question, the duke nodded and said,
“Shouldn’t we go say hello to our family’s benefactor?”
“….”
Louis started to follow the duke with a puzzled look on his face.
The place Duke Brandrup headed was the guest room of the Holy Guardian.
There was also an unexpected person in the room that I came to without difficulty after being guided by the attendant.
“Karin?”
“Father, welcome.”
Karin, who was sitting at the same table as Seong Su-ho, got up and greeted them.
The duke and Louis were taken aback by Karin’s appearance, and Seong Su-ho, who saw her bewildered, said to the two of them.
“If I had known you were here, I should have visited you earlier, but I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay. We have just arrived. And wouldn’t it be rude to come here so suddenly?”
“Come, please sit down.”
The duke and Louis headed to the table with Sung Soo-ho’s consideration.
Luis took Sung Soo-ho and Karin at a glance and began to look at them as if he couldn’t understand them.
‘What? Why are you with me?’
It didn’t feel particularly bad.
If Luna were here, her irritation would have exploded, but she was in this place because she hated Karin so much.
Upon arriving at the table, the duke began to thank Seong Su-ho before sitting down.
“I heard the whole story from Viscount Robero. From rescuing the Viscount to rescuing the insider of our family… Thank you so much.”
Just saying thank you wasn’t that much of a problem.
The problem was his behavior.
The duke bowed down and thanked me.
“Oh, father!?”
Louis tried to stop the duke with a surprised expression, but Seong Su-ho began to show a burdensome notice.
“Duke, I’m rather glad I was helpful.”
“Thank you too.”
Following the duke’s greeting, Karin also bowed to Seongsuho.
Even though Karin was already in the middle of a conversation with Seong Su-ho, when the duke bent her back, Karin herself bowed her back in accordance with her position and thanked Seong Su-ho.
“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be here smiling with you. Thank you very much.”
Haha….”
The situation where the Duke of Brandrup and the eldest daughter of the family bowed.
Only one person had his back stiffened.
The man’s voice next to Louis, who stood upright, made him flinch.
“Louis.”
“Ah yes!”
Louis hurriedly bowed to his father’s quiet rebuke and began to thank him.
“Go… Thank you.”
“Thank you, friends….”
Clearly, there was no problem with Sung Soo-ho’s lines.
If there is a problem….
Shit….
It was the fact that he was smiling at himself.
‘Annoying bastard….’
The gratitude he felt for saving his mother evaporated in Lewis’ heart the moment he saw his expression and disappeared without a trace.
“Then… Let’s talk about our visit like this.”
After the duke’s greeting was over, they sat down at the table together and started talking about what had happened.
The duke and Louis were able to hear the details of what they had already heard from the viscount.
But the two of them, who had just arrived, had many problems to solve, so they had to get up soon after.
“Thank you very much. As I’ve already said, if you need anything while living in our family, feel free to tell me.”
“Even now, I feel like I’ve received a big enough welcome, so I’m just grateful.”
“Thank you for thinking so. Watch the time and have dinner together later. Enough….”
The duke moved his steps and signaled to Karin and Louis with his eyes.
But there was one that responded differently to that signal.
“Father, I was having a conversation with this man. Can we finish our conversation and go?”
“… Do it.”
The duke was startled for a moment when he saw Karin’s smile, but immediately loosened her expression and started to leave the room while giving Louise a notice.
And Louis….
‘That bitch treats people with a smile like that?’
Karin used to bewitch her opponent with a smile on public occasions.
However, Louise, who had been watching her all her life, could feel the unusual difference in her expression.
It was because her expression, which looked like a mask, was especially alive today.
And her lively look resembled the sincere look she had shown to Louis all her life.
However, it was different if she was a ferocious villainess to Louis, and the smile of a benevolent mother to Seong Su-ho.
Louis hadn’t cared at all whether Karin was nice to anyone.
It was because she knew that she was using the ironclad of pretense anyway.
But now, the feeling of deprivation that had been clogged in his heart began to rise.
‘나한테 그 지랄을 하던 년이 왜 저 새끼한테는….’
The sight of a woman who had always looked down on her with contempt, sending a sincere smile to a being she despised was more than disgusting and disillusioning.
If Luna had done that, it would have been just irritation with jealousy, but Karin’s behavior caused severe deprivation in Louise, who had been treated as an insignificant human being.
As he was building up his resentment inside, a deep voice came from behind him.
“Louis, why is that?”
“Sorry, sorry. Calm down for a moment….”
“Let’s go to your mother. Maybe we can meet this time.”
“Yes.”
Louis gradually moved his steps, but his eyes did not easily separate from Seongsuho and Karin.
And when he finally closed the door and came out, it was a fleeting moment, but he couldn’t erase the feeling that he had seen a strange scene.
‘Car… I must be mistaken?’
Louis thought he was mistaken because what he saw was so grotesque that he began to follow the Duke slowly.
***
There was only silence in the room.
“….”
“….”
And in that desolate silence, a picture-like scene unfolded where Karin and I crossed our lips.
I felt as if I was sucked into the work of painting and all my senses disappeared, leaving only me and Karin’s colors.
The moment Louise left her room, Karin suddenly kissed her and I wanted something, but I didn’t show any reaction, I just felt the warmth of her lips and was silent.
Karin said as she calmly removed her lips from mine.
“Thanks to you, I feel relieved.”
“Mood? Did something make you uncomfortable?”
Karin held my bodily fluid-stained lips in her mouth for a moment, tasted it, and she smiled.
“I was annoyed that Louis was staring at me earlier.”
“Her….”
Looking at the expression of annoyance coming out of Karin’s mouth, she must have really hated it.
At this point, I wanted to know the truth.
Karin hates Louis to the point of loathing, but she admits that she herself once said it with her own mouth.
She wanted to know her real thoughts.
“Why did she hate Louise?”
“There is nothing wrong.”
Karin wiped her finger on my lips, which were stained with her own bodily fluids, and she looked at her finger that wiped my lips, she said.
“I hated her because she was weak.”
“Weakness?”
It was unexpected.
Does it feel quite different from the Louis I know now?
Or maybe she just looked different on Karin’s part.
It’s just that Karin didn’t have any talent for her magic, because she was a prodigy among prodigies.
“Do you know why Lewis puts on a nice face to the people around him? She is because she was weak.”
Before she awakened her talents to her magic, her Louis figure was insignificant, she said.
“I didn’t want to see him being so dependent.”
“….”
Come to think of it, Louis still had a tendency to whine at Luna.
“Even when I was little, I would cling to her mother and cry whenever something happened. She hated it because it was so pitiful.”
Jealous?
No such thing ever existed, she says.
I was just irritated and angry at the unmanly behavior.
If Louise had been strong enough to stab Karin in her hand, she would have been rated much better than she is now.
“The way she whines every time and gets scolded by her mother… Thinking about that scene makes me annoyed. I’m glad I can see you now.”
At least, he was saying that the reason why his evaluation was better now was because of his confidence rather than his ability.
“Childhood… I got a rough feeling from the time I showed my weak side.”
“… ?”
“Lewis showed the personality of trying to take advantage of the weaker than himself and prey on him like a snake.”
Haha….”
“I wonder if I could have easily revealed my true nature… Even hiding it was annoying.”
He was saying that it would be much better to raise the drug while provoking like now.
Karin… She could not have been a truly bizarre woman.
But Karin’s annoyance started to infuse reactions into my objects.
As I slowly approached Karin, Karin narrowed her eyes and shook her head from side to side.
“Not today. My father also came to visit, and if he gets caught..Hehe….”
I interrupted Karin, and wrapped my arms around her as she sat and held her breasts.
And whispered in her ear.
“Where is it not? Spread your legs quickly.”
“Really… I am not happy.”
Karin smiled sharply and began to lift the skirt of her dress.
