Chapter 289 – Chapter 289 ― Is This a Possessed Object or a Return Object (2)
Episode 289 ― Is This a Possession or Return? (2)
Eleanor was alone in the empress’s room.
After biting all the servants, Erenia’s face turned white when she faced Roan.
“What’s the matter? Roan.”
Her fear grew stronger at the sight of all the emotion briefly passing across Roan’s face.
Contempt, sadness, anger, fear.
Clearly, nothing had happened until yesterday.
I didn’t know what had happened all night.
Faced with an absurd situation, Erenia’s handmaids found the attendants of Emperor Burinake.
They tried to figure out why the emperor suddenly stopped the wedding ceremony and called for her fiancée, but the attendants and knights only shook their heads.
The first thing Erenia came up with was last night, did she get caught entering the office? Was the idea she was doing.
But it’s her fiancée, and of course she went in alone in the middle of the night, but it’s not a place she can’t go.
Soon this will be her home.
Besides, she must have put all her efforts into magic and somehow tried to avoid being traced?
Erenia shivered even more because there was something she could figure out. But all her life she was used to faking her appearance to Roan.
The way Roan felt with her skill and the way she was looking at her were very different.
Seeing that, Roan felt both pity and hatred. It was literal love and hate.

[Message: If you do not complete the quest within the time limit, you will be penalized.]
In the description of the state of ‘Analysis’, Elenir’s confusion was revealed as it was.
A message from a seemingly heartless long-term quest.
If you solved that…
Would it have been different
With her mouth shut, Roan remained silent for a long time. The reason Roan woke up from her thoughts was because she realized with her skill that the silence could suffocate Erenia.
Roan closed his eyes for a moment before opening them.
Like erasing memories.
She hasn’t done anything yet.
The sins of the past and future are not yet hers.
“Eleanor.”
“Huh?”
“I have something important to say before the ceremony.”
Eleanor blinked a couple of times.
Unless it’s something tolerable, she doesn’t even come to the point of stopping the wedding.
Did you get caught?!
“I know you are possessed by demons.”
“Huh… ?”
It was a bit unexpected.
It was an unexpected statement, but first, Elenia tried to explain.
“I am a demon sorcerer. Through the war, I had the opportunity to study demonology more deeply…”
“I know you’re trying to monopolize me by receiving a demonic artifact.”
Erenia’s mouth snapped shut like her clam.
Hardened lips.
On the contrary, her wide eyes and raised eyebrows expressed her astonishment.
Roan tried to speak calmly. My throat choked trying to calm the tone forcibly, thinking that passion would mix without my knowledge.
“That’s why I made a deal with the Grand Duke.”
“How… , Crab…”
The airy sound barely escaped from Erenia’s mouth.
It didn’t turn out to be a very meaningful question.
“I was counting on you. She tried to Eleanor. I appreciate your devotion and affection, but that power is too dangerous to use as a means of fulfilling your wishes.”
Roan looked straight into Erenier’s confused eyes.
You should definitely cut it off.
I can’t even send Elenir far. It would be safest to keep it out of sight. If so, you need to make it believable.
“Destroy everything related to the devil that the Grand Duke told you about. And from now on, all relations with the Grand Duke and the Southern Dark Spirit will be cut off. That is what I expect from you.”
Erenia’s body was trembling like an aspen tree.
Why is that voice that usually babbles loudly in my ears is quiet today?
He wanted to rely on anything, but Elenir realized that this moment was the moment of independence he had longed for.
Alone, without anyone’s intervention or help.
The moment you have to decide for yourself.
He wanted to be his own.
Its heart was definitely enlarged with the help of powerful forces.
I wanted it to be my own.
As a result, even if he loses his position and power,
He is that
But it wasn’t until I heard what Roan was saying that I realized. That the order was wrong.
“If the… , But if I can’t do what Roan expects…”
“Does not matter. The wedding is fulfilled.”
Erenia read between the lines after that.
The expression is fulfilled. That’s all.
Roan will never give her her trust again.
At that moment, Ernear realized that, ironically, she didn’t really need all of Roan.
She has already said that she herself has an answer.
Neither position nor ability is required.
Even the limbs did not have to be intact.
His affection, his gaze, his heart warmed my heart.
I just wanted to see you a little more often, always.
However, a marriage without that heart and faith is meaningless.
In my head, I had already thought of killing the women twisted around Roan and locking him up hundreds of thousands of times.
For some reason, my mind is clearer than usual.
Erenia suddenly realized that such a thought was such a foolish idea.
“For a moment.”
Erenia jumped up from her chair where she was sitting.
The place she headed to was the dressing room. The long hem of her wedding dress hampered her stride, but she didn’t call her maid, but rather took something of hers out of the jewelry box in her dressing room.
“First of all, from this.”
It was the necklace she always wore.
Ernear held out her necklace to Roan.
It wasn’t as much as the relic, but a thick yogi flowed out. It was a faint trace of ‘greed’.
“This is something my father gave me a few years ago. I don’t know where this stuff came from. He said to wear it.”
She hesitated, examining Roan’s expression.
Roan quietly listened to her words while holding the necklace Erenia gave her in her hand.
I checked to see if the buff was applied, but there was no sign of it.
‘Isn’t it an artifact?’
Roan concentrated the rapidly recovering holy power into his hand.
Erenia slightly frowned at her unfamiliar power, but she had already experienced Roan’s blessing several times already.
A dazzling light leaked from Roan’s clenched fist and then disappeared.
Roan opened his hand.
There was no longer any evil aura in his necklace.
Returning it, Roan looked at Eleanor’s actions.
Roan knows what’s hidden in her room. I don’t like her behavior as if she’s testing people, but it’s necessary to block the future from going wrong.
Erenia took her necklace from Roan and looked around for a while.
To her feelings, she hadn’t changed at all except that the strange aura she had previously felt in her necklace had disappeared.
Returning it to the jewelry box, Erenir hesitated. She had more to say.
“… I am Roan.”
“Hmm.”
And as if she knew what to say, Roan seemed to be waiting for her to act.
The altar she hid in this room had something to do with her own magical powers as well.
And her ability is also the reason why she is needed as empress in this country. As Roan said, if she severed her relationship with her male dark spirit, the grounds for her to become empress would be even slimmer.
Eleanor was scared.
But she has already made up her mind.
Not to deceive him.
She was about to swear that in a moment she would devote her heart to him and spend the rest of her life.
‘It’s just that I made a decision a bit early.’
In a way, he was also glad that Roan had found out this much about himself.
Certainly, until last year, he hadn’t paid the slightest attention to her. No, on the contrary, he seemed to hate himself.
Erenia took a deep breath and opened her mouth.
“There is an altar I set up to draw out mana. She’s been carrying something she’s had since she was learning demon arts from Swin Lake. And separately, there is something my father brought me shortly after the war started. “
Perhaps it is the story of a relic. Roan was focused.
“The demonic power that Roan talks about comes from there. My father said it was one of the items with dragon power.”
Sure If it’s the dragon’s power.
“Bring that thing. I will break it.”
It was a fairly radical statement, but Elenia meekly agreed.
“Okay. If… Should I destroy the altar too?”
Right before her wedding, she ended up doing a major construction job. You broke the altar.
“Didn’t I say that the altar had been there since ancient times? Does it have anything to do with the item the grand duke gave you?”
Erenia seemed to look back at her for a moment as she put her finger on her lips.
“No… At about fifteen… It’s been made in the castle since I learned demon and curse magic.”
“Then let’s leave it alone. Do you need time to deal with it today?”
Erenia nodded her head a few times and disappeared into her bedroom.
After a while, there was a gurgling sound.
It is the sound of opening the hidden space behind the bed.
If you think about it, an altar is, after all, a place where offerings are made and magic is used, and since she had something like that in her bedroom, it makes sense when she said she had trouble sleeping properly.
The dream must have been wild.
The moment she left her room with the artifact, her stench filled her drawing room.
Roan managed not to frown on his face.
It seems that Erennier really doesn’t mind this power.
“Could it be Elenier… Are you okay?”
“Huh? What?”
Even with ‘detection’, I didn’t feel that she was reluctant or forced to put up with her discomfort.
Certainly, the reaction is different from other women.
What the hell was the difference
The head maid, the count, and the women close to me felt the relic’s stench, but only Elenir didn’t feel the strangeness of it.
“Don’t you feel a special power in this object?”
“Ah…”
Erenia seemed to have noticed something, but it wasn’t what Roan was thinking.
“The mana is incredibly condensed. From our point of view, it is almost limitless, a power that cannot be compared with existing magic stones. If there was a dragon’s magic stone, wouldn’t it be this much? She said it had something to do with dragons, so I thought it was natural.”
“Didn’t you tell me how the Grand Duke came to have the dragon’s things?”
Then Ernear smiled lightly and shook her head.
“My father only tells me what I need.”
Perhaps, if the interests of the two did not coincide, the Grand Duke might not have brought Elenia here.
Roan thought about that and handed over his cell phone. It was the touch of cold, flat, heavy metal that I hadn’t felt in a long time.
She felt longing for a moment, but as if she was suppressed by something, that thought passed through her mind and disappeared.
Without hesitation, Roan gathered his holy power.
