79. Magic Clue
Ttogak. Again.
A blonde woman walking in a field reminiscent of ripe wheat. The sound of shoes echoes in the moonlit hallway.
After passing through the long hallway, a swinging door with a unique haze pattern appeared just from the outside.
Rat! The door split on both sides, and as I entered, an old man appeared in a dark room, looking at the full moon outside the window.
“How did this happen?”
“Kilkkilkil, what do you mean?”
“That woman is ridiculously successful!”
The blonde woman scolded the old man as he approached him.
“When you sent assassins before, didn’t you just send insignificant guys and decide to help me?!”
A blonde woman shouted loudly in a room where not even the sound of a bug crawling could be heard, and her voice carried into the hallway.
“Kill, kill, kill.” “Would you please lower your voice?”
“Ugh.”
The blonde woman bit her lower lip and spoke softly.
“Anyway. “How did things go?”
“There is nothing to worry about. “I’ll take care of it.”
Tap! The blonde woman put one foot down and frowned.
“Is this what it means to take care of something? “Let alone killing you, you didn’t even touch a hair on your nose!”
The old man smiled. The corners of her mouth rose to her cheekbones and her eyes glowed red. The smile made the blonde woman take a step back and cringe.
“I told you to wait for your right time.”
“… ….”
The displeased blonde woman frowned.
“… I can’t stand it any longer. “Even if you have to move it yourself, take care of it before the wedding.”
Boom! The blonde woman left, slamming the door behind her. It was so quiet that the sound of shoes in the hallway could be heard even in the room.
“Kill, kill, kill.”
The old man looked at the back of the woman and muttered.
“A cocky b*tch. “Why are you threatening me when you can’t do anything without me?”
Hold a pipe-shaped tobacco and light the fire coming from your finger. Afterwards, the cloudy smoke dissipated outside the window, giving off a delicious smell.
“This old lady is just in the process of fulfilling her contract. “Kill, kill, kill.”
The old man sneered as much as he thought of a blonde woman. She doesn’t know the truth and she is asking herself a favor. What a foolish woman she is.
“Just because she’s a saint doesn’t mean she’s smart.”
The old man, who had been laughing so hard, took a breath and stared at the full moon.
“But it’s time to give her a little ordeal. “I need to make sure Gene Barenberg is back.”
Sarak. The blue-green magical power that bloomed from the old man’s fingers scattered like stardust, and letters began to be engraved on the paper.
“With that guy’s power, pearl would be suitable.”

Rattle. France entered the duke’s office.
Crunchy. Only white noise echoes in the quiet office. It was so quiet that you could even hear your breathing.
“Duke.”
“Francegna.”
“Yes.”
France walked over to her feet and sat down on her sofa.
“I came to receive the grant for the project we talked about earlier.”
The crunching noise stopped. The Duke slowly looked up.
“Okay. We decided to provide full support. “How much do you need?”
France said with a smile.
“7 Billion from now on.”
“7 Billion?”
“Yes.”
“What kind of business does it cost 7 billion won?”
The duke’s eyebrows narrowed. 7 Billion is not a lot of money for a ducal family that controls a huge territory granted by the empire.
However, it is a bit more than the money usually spent when starting a business.
“I plan to purchase land from all over the empire and build more stores there. “For our clothing store to have a monopoly.”
A Duke raising its head and stroking its chin. After thinking for a moment, the duke nodded.
“Now that Frida’s monopoly has been blocked, are you saying you want to create a new monopoly? Yeah, not bad. “We will add 7 billion to the existing activity expenses.”
France smiled brightly.
“Thank you.”

After completing his purpose, France hurriedly got up from his seat. He hated being in the same space as the Duke. But the moment he was about to leave.
“France.”
The duke called. France turned around and looked at the duke with an expressionless expression.
“What is the reason you called me?”
“… No.”
France, his face filled with question marks. He tilted his head for a moment and left the office.
‘Why is it like that?’
Every time I go to the office, my reaction is strange. I have no idea what he is thinking.
‘Are you going to come here now and make a difference?’
Pisik. France’s face darkened as he sneered.
‘You must have a conscience.’
Huh, France sighed heavily and shook his head. Things are going well lately, everything is going well, I can’t ruin the mood.
At that time, I was about to go to my room.
“France.”
This time we encountered Eden. He couldn’t understand why the men of this family kept a straight face after calling him.
‘I thought I couldn’t see you recently.’
I tried to control my eyebrows that were about to frown and smiled.
“Duke So, what’s going on?”
“… ….”
There is no answer. I can’t know this person’s true intentions. Like Jin, are there a lot of men like this?
“I think something happened with Line.”
“… Young master Rhine?”
Line was mentioned. Could it be that the curse didn’t work well? France held her breath.
“When I brought up your story, my body became so rigid that I couldn’t say anything. “What happened?”
France almost burst out laughing at Eden’s words. Although the curse worked perfectly, he was happy that he had given that line a good blow.
France smiled and tilted his head.
“Um… no? Nothing special happened. “Isn’t it because Prince Rhein hates me so much that he doesn’t even want to hear my name?”
France’s words mixed with a bit of sarcasm. Eden’s eyebrows twitched, but she didn’t find any particular fault.
“But why did you bring up my story?”
France caught this. Two people who hate themselves so much are talking about themselves? I had doubts, but I felt dirty.
“You’ve been successful in business recently. So I put some pressure on the line. “Shouldn’t you do something too?”
Eden held her head upright and continued her words.
“I didn’t say anything other than this.”
“… Is that so?”
“Okay. “I don’t say things behind people’s backs that I wouldn’t say in front of them.”
You say such good things. I wanted to click my tongue, but France tried to smile.
“… Okay.”
“The business is over. “Go now.”
“… ….”
France bowed his head and returned to the room. The Duke is like that, Rhine is like that, and Eden is like that too. The servants and the knights of the training hall.
I absolutely hate the people who exist in this house.
The only thing I like is Helena, who listens well.
‘I trust no one but Jin.’
France entered the room, his eyes sharply open. Helena was preparing her tea.
“Ah. “Princess, are you here?”
“Yes.”
“I’ll prepare the tea right away!”
“What car are you driving today?”
“It’s black tea!”
Black tea is France’s favorite tea. Helena immediately poured black tea into a teacup.
Clatter. France sipping black tea with a magic book on her lap.
“Helena.”
“Yes, four?”
“Have you talked to Jin recently?”
“Oh, none!”
“Really?”
France opened her eyes shallowly and stared at Helena with her fierceness.
“I never did it…” ….”
“I think I did it last time.”
“Well, that wasn’t a conversation!”
“Hmm.”
Franche finally comes to terms with her life. Helena shivered and avoided her gaze.
“Don’t be so scared. “Because you are my favorite servant.”
Clatter. France stopped her as she put down her teacup.
“As long as you don’t mess with Jin, I will always be kind to you.”
Helena lowered her head in a tense state.
“Yes, yes!”
“Just go.”
“Yes!”
Helena leaves in a huff, fearing to be caught. Her door closed and France stared at her door for a while.
“… ….”
There is one reason why France keeps Helena in check like this. She says Jean sees Helena as her woman.
The conversation we had before at the door was unusual. Should I say that the atmosphere between the two was red?
“We must prevent something like that from happening in the future.”
Helena is attractive with her sapphire blue eyes and silky black hair.
With a neat atmosphere and perfect facial features, you can’t believe he’s a commoner.
‘If you’re not careful, something will happen between you two.’
France knew. She tells Jin that she does not see herself as a woman.
But Helena was different. She can’t forget Jin’s voice and the atmosphere that created between them.
Suddenly. Without realizing it, she held onto her spellbook tightly.
“Ah.”
Am I too excited? France, who felt feverish for a moment, shook her head and calmed herself down by drinking black tea.

“Khazar. “Was there no magic that could be salvaged from that ancient magic book?”
Ka-Zar, who had been looking intently at the ancient magic book, took off his glasses and shook his head.
“There is none. “A few special magics that didn’t exist before?”
Is there still no solution? Almost all of that ancient magic book has been deciphered. Seeing as it hasn’t come out yet, there’s no hope.
“It’s a shame.”
“I don’t know yet. “Because I haven’t deciphered everything.”
Kazar put on his glasses again and began deciphering the runes.
“But what about some special magic?”
“It is a magic that must never be discovered by the princess.”
For a moment, my eyes sparkled.
“Could it be magic that controls the soul?”
“That’s right. The magic the princess was looking for is also here.”
Did I bring it for no reason…….
But I had no choice but to bring that ancient magic book. There was a way to control France’s emotions that might explode later and a possibility of resolving my symptoms.
“… “What else was there?”
“It’s magic that involves time and space.”
Kazar compared the pages of the ancient magic book and compared the drawn magic circles.
“I’m continuing to look, and this time and space magic is quite similar to the magic circle engraved on you.”
Then he motioned to me and said, “Come this way.”
“Now, look. “This is a magic circle related to time.”
Palak. A few pages were skipped.
“This is a magic circle related to space.”
I tilted my head.
“The two look completely different?”
The time magic circle has 16 strokes twisted like an earthworm, making its shape unclear.
The space magic circle is made with 20 angled strokes that maintain certain rules.
The difference between the two is clear.
“Now, don’t just look at this. “I will draw the magic circle that I found on Jin’s body.”
Kazar placed his hand on my back and let magic flow through him, then drew a magic circle on a piece of paper with his other hand. He also has an amazing talent.
“Look at what I drew, and combine the magic circle I showed you earlier.”
I rolled my eyes and compared the three magic circles.
“Hmm?”
The magic circle drawn by Kazar seemed to have been created by mixing the important characteristics of the magic circle of time and space.
“It’s similar, right?”
“That’s right.”
“Especially this part.”
The part she pointed to with her finger especially resembled the magic circle engraved on my body.
It looks like a flaccid earthworm is crawling through the triangular angled part.
“It’s not clear yet, but just looking at this, the magic circle engraved on Mr. Jin is a magic circle of return and movement. “It is a magic that turns back time and moves between dimensions.”
In an instant, my spine felt stiff as if thunder had struck.
“It’s a magic circle of regression and dimensional movement… ?”
