94. Jealousy
After three days, Kazar recovered his tangled magic power and at the same time, the paralysis of his entire body was relieved and he gained strength.
“Thank you for taking care of me, princess.”
“No, because it was something I had to do.”
Kazar and France were smiling happily and exchanging well-wishes with each other. I spoke to sisters Lathea and Laia.
“Listen to that person carefully and don’t cause trouble.”
“… “What do you think of us?”
“That’s right. “I will soon be a full-fledged adult.”
I guess it was a useless worry. Well, even in such a barren Barony of Roarke, I lived well while catching demonic beasts, so I guess I’ll take care of it.
“Yes, I was worried for no reason.”
I smiled and patted Radea and Laia’s heads. Laia accepted it cheerfully, but… ….
“You keep patting my head since last time?”
Radea’s response was harsh, as if she had raised thorns.
“… Sorry.”
“But it wasn’t bad, so it’s okay. “It’s nice because I feel like I have a brother.”
What kind of reaction is this? He also seems to go back and forth a bit.
“Okay, anyway. “Something will come up soon and I’ll call her, so I’m waiting.”
Radea nodded her head, “Yes.” Then, just as he was about to enter Laia and her house.
“Wait, did you say Lathea?”
France stopped La Dea.
“Yes, princess.”
“You follow me.”
“… Yes?”
“Didn’t you hear? “Follow me to the duke’s residence.”
Ladea looked at me with shaking eyes. France’s unexpected behavior. Honestly, I’m a bit embarrassed too.
“Come first.”
La Dea was the first to board her carriage.
“Then I’ll just go. “Take care of your body.”
“Yes, princess. See you next time.”
“See you later, sister!”
With these greetings, France and Helena also got into the carriage.
The four of us met like that…….
“… ….”
“… ….”
“… ….”
“… ….”
An awkward air current flows. Why does France look so negatively at Lathea?
Unable to bear this atmosphere, she opened her mouth first.
“To reiterate, this is Radea, who will be closely guarding the princess from now on. Lathea?”
“Ah, yes. Please take care of me, princess. His specialty is swordsmanship. “She hunted demonic beasts in the far reaches of the North.”
“… ….”
France stares at us with her legs crossed and her arms crossed, expressionless.
“Why are you two sitting together?”
“… Yes?”
“Helena, you go that way, and Lathea come this way.”
“Oh, yes…” ….”
Radea carefully got up, switched her place with Helena, and moved to the seat next to France.
“Okay, let’s talk now.”
What is it? What was so uncomfortable…….
“You said you were good at using a sword, right? “Can you use Aurors?”
“Ah, yes. “It’s weak, but it can be used.”
“Hmm… ….”
Currently, Radea is still in an immature state. You can use auras, but they cannot be activated for a long time.
Still, the swordsmanship itself is excellent, so this is a problem that will be resolved with time.
“Jin. “How does radea compare to kale?”
How does it compare to kale?
“Kale is one of the top three strong men in the empire. “Of course we don’t have enough Radea.”
France said, “Hmm.” He lowered his head as he said so.
“But it is rude to compare with knights. “He has a lot of practical experience and his swordsmanship is excellent.”
No matter how old it is, it is a world where you can be called a sword master just by activating an aura. Of course, ordinary knights are no match for him.
“Why did you choose Radea as my guard?”
“It’s because it has great potential.”
“Isn’t it because you look great?”
“… Yes?”
This princess sometimes spouts nonsense.
“It’s nothing.”
“Yes… ….”
France nodded his head and continued.
“When you arrive at the Duke’s residence, Lathea, please come to my room by yourself.”
Ladea tilts her head.
“Alone?”
“Okay. “I have something to talk about.”
“Yes, I understand.”
What is it? I feel left out.
“You can’t talk here?”
“Okay. “Because it’s a secret between the two of us.”
“Is that so…? ?”
What are you trying to say?
“Anyway. “You know that.”
After saying that, France rested her chin and looked out the window. Lathea was stiff as if she was very nervous.
‘The atmosphere is strange.’
Did I do something that offended France? If it involves Lathea, that’s the attitude.
‘Even though I know France’s feelings, I don’t know.’

Arriving at the duke’s residence, everyone got off the carriage.
“Helena and Radea, follow me, and Jin, go to the dorm and rest.”
Jin nodded her head, “Yes, I understand,” And then moved to the dormitory first.
“Let’s go now.”
Ladea walked behind France in a very nervous state. She looked pitifully at Helena next to her.
‘What is it?’
Is something waiting ahead? This employee has been giving me a sympathetic look since a while ago.
As soon as they entered the mansion, the employees all bowed and greeted France. A middle-aged man who appeared to be the head butler approached.
“Are you here, princess?”
“Yes.”
“What would you like to eat?”
“It’s okay since I ate.”
The head deacon bows and walks away. Radea felt some kind of fear at France’s ice-cold voice.
‘The princess’s mood is unusual…….’
Gulp. She swallowed her saliva heavily without realizing it.
I followed France into the room, and suddenly. The door was closed.
“Helena? Please prepare tea for her.”
“Yes, yes!”
Helena runs away in a hurry. Radea began to become more and more afraid in this sharp atmosphere.
“What are you doing? “Please sit down.”
“Yes? Yes.”
Ladea sits facing France at the table in the center. Her eyes were lost, not knowing where to place her gaze.
“Ladea.”
“Yes?”
“There is only one thing I will say from now on.”
France hung his arms on the table with cold eyes. Shadowy gaze. A chill ran down Radea’s spine.
“Don’t have unnecessary feelings for Jin.”
“… Yes?”
“Don’t talk to Jin too much.”
“Yes… ?”
“Even if you work together, keep your distance.”
What is this princess saying all of a sudden? Radea’s pupils began to shake as if there had been an earthquake.

“Hey, you’re the one who brought me here. Shouldn’t I receive training myself…?” ?”
France glared at La Dea with her eyes wide open.
“Ladea.”
“Yes… ?”
“Was what I said difficult?”
“… ….”
Rather than saying it was difficult, I didn’t understand why they said that and the situation itself.
“Hey, I don’t really know what you’re talking about. Sorry… ….”
Phew, France sighed and shook his head.
“I’m saying don’t view Jin as a man.”
“Don’t see me as a man?”
“Okay. “We will maintain public relations at all costs.”
“Of course it has to be that way…” ?”
What did she say earlier? Was she telling her not to have a personal relationship with Jin? Wherefore? Lathea became increasingly unaware of this princess.
“Yes, I understand. “Keep that mindset.”
Radea nodded her head.
“Yes… ….”
“Oh, and you have to refuse even if Jin approaches you.”
“I don’t think he will approach… ?”
“You never know.”
France suddenly had shadows around his eyes. From earlier, the shadows around me seemed to be moving and the air around me was cool. Is it because of my mood? ?
Ladea is a sword master. Among them, she is the type with enhanced intuition. How to notice even minor changes.
‘Something is strange…’ ….’
I feel strangely alive. Radea continued to feel chills.
“Anyway. Please keep in mind what I said. Do you understand?”
“Yes. I’ll keep that in mind… ….”
“Okay. Today, I sleep in the duke’s guest room. “Go back tomorrow.”
“Yes… ….”
Radea left France’s room with a dazed expression on her face.
“… ….”
From the moment France saw La Dea, she felt uncomfortable.
A new woman by Jin’s side. She even says she’s incredibly pretty.
Short, shiny black hair. Her bright red eyes that seem to have been studded with rubies. A nose that is small but maintains a pretty shape. Seductive pink lips.
Wiggle. The shadow flickered.
“From Helena to Lathea… ….”
Helena was startled when she heard France muttering. Rattling! The teaware in her hands shook and made noise.
“Ah, Helena. “When did you come in?”
“Just now…” ….”
“Have you prepared the tea?”
“Yes, yes!”
“Okay. “It’s been a while since I had tea.”
France closed her eyes, savoring the black tea Helena poured her. The more times she gets like this, the more she needs to regain her stability.
‘You can’t be impatient.’
Didn’t Helena listen to her warning and not even talk to Jean at all? And Radea had a sharp look. She won’t cross the line.
“Whoa…” ….”
France, who only regained her composure after savoring the scent of black tea, exhaled deeply. Due to her excitement, her heart, which had been pounding ceaselessly, also slowed down.
“Helena.”
“Yes, four?”
“How do you see it?”
“What are you talking about…?” ?”
France turned his head and made eye contact with Helena, who was standing next to him.
“I mean Radea. Jin seemed to be selfish?”
Helena tilted her head and quickly opened her mouth.
“Uh… “It doesn’t seem that way to me, does it?”
“So?”
“Yes. Completely uninterested eyes…….”
Helena’s eyes widened for a moment. France asked as she sensed something was unusual.
“What is it? Was there something there?”
“Yes, yes! Come to think of it… ….”
“So what?”
“Jin smiled as he stroked Lethea’s head in a friendly way.”
Tall. France stiffened like a stone.
“You said that?”
“Yes… ….”
France, who was about to crumple at any moment, tried to maintain a smile and nodded.
“Yes, I saw it well. “It’s okay to go back now.”
“Yes, yes!”
After reading her mood, Helena quickly left France’s room.
“… ….”
France gazed out his window with shadowy eyes.
Jin is also definitely a man. He cannot help but feel moved when he is around pretty women like Helena and La Dea.
No matter how much France has the slave imprint that can control Jin, she cannot win people’s hearts. Can the mind forcefully created through imprinting be called the original mind?
‘No.’
France looked at the ancient magic book placed on the table.
“As expected, the only way is soul bonding.”
The magic of soul binding that was spoken about at Kazar’s house. Jin and Kazar were shocked.
France did not miss that reaction. I’m sure you knew there was a soul bond here.
‘It’s hard to decipher, though.’
I have no choice but to do it now. I also received detoxifying glasses from Kazar. We need to bind the souls before it is too late.
If only the souls are united, all worries disappear. Because just the two of us can be together forever without anyone interfering.
‘Jin is my beginning and my end, everything. ‘No one can touch it.’
France went straight to deciphering the rune words.

Mook’s home base located in Skoll, the capital of the Sahara.
The tension here is so intense that it’s suffocating right now.
“Not only did you fail the request given by that damn wizard, six of the Seven Stars died and you even lost your arm?”
Kaarak scratched the back of his head with his only remaining arm.
“You knew this would result, right? “The opponent is Jean Barenberg.”
“Still, I didn’t expect that all of Chilseong would die and you would lose your arm.”
Malek, the Master of Orc, tapped his fingers on the armrests of his throne and looked down at Kaarak.
“How much damage was done?”
“No one died.”
“… What? “Are you saying that?”
“No, listen to what I have to say.”
Kaarak explained to Malek what happened there. It was information that Exceed’s Master and the Empire’s White Ghost had interfered.
“… “The White Demon of the Empire and the Master of Exceed are protecting Princess Descartes?”
“Yes, that’s right! “If Gene Barenberg had been alone, he could have already finished it!”
Malek frowns and presses his temples.
‘Things turned out to be more serious than I thought.’
Not only did he mess with Jin Barenberg, but he also messed with Exceed’s master and that white spirit, Cale.
‘This won’t be easy to overcome.’
Malek asked.
“How was Baekgui’s skills?”
“Estufina and Azrael were attacked by him.”
Kaarak snorted, “But it didn’t work for me.”
“Hmm… ….”
Kale faces off against Jin Barenberg and Chil-seong’s might, even though he and Chil-seong, both transcendents, can’t guarantee victory.
And even Exceed’s Assassins.
“Heh heh.”
Malek let out a helpless laugh and stood up. Even if that damn transcendent wizard hadn’t threatened me, I wouldn’t have accepted a request like this.
“I guess it can’t be helped. “Either we die, or the other person dies.”
