in the heroin's world there was an incredibly popular novel that many girls read and discussed with pleasure in this book the negative character was a beautiful girl with a bad character who nevertheless lived to the end this girl named Serena melfor had unusual red eyes that were very similar in color to Bright rubies one day opening her eyes in an unfamiliar bed the heroine could not believe that she had appeared in the body of this very girl in her heart she was 20 but in reality she was now an 8-year-old child who had a lot

to go through at first the lady thought that it was her blessing because to be born into such a rich family and to live without problems was a real Miracle the Miss needed absolutely nothing as everything in her family's estate sparkled due to the luxurious decoration of all the rooms but this did not change the fact that with each passing day the heroin became more and more restless and afraid of such a life the girl knew exactly how her story would end and she didn't want it to end the same way this time at that

time the main characters of the novel happily celebrated their wedding and did not think about anything because they were in love with each other and the siren herself in a high tower all alone pressed to herself the body of the dying Boy Who Loved Her that man's name was aiz akaria and siren couldn't save him at that moment no matter how hard she tried he was a cruel Duke who lived his entire life life in misery although he was even richer than melfor herself the akeria family was one of the greatest four families in the

Empire and everyone respected them for this power people said that the young Duke could succeed in absolutely any business since he was accompanied by luck and great experience and indeed while aja's grandfather was in office he only increased all the wealth and territories belonging to his family however the man's Reign did not last long because by coincidence he died at a young age and left everything to his son and from that moment on this family gradually began to lose its former power and Glory since the Duke's son was completely incapable of governing it so happened

that the new head of aeria was not suited to business but only drank and ate a lot finding satisfaction only in this due to all his failed Endeavors the family eventually fell into complete Decline and even began to barely make ends meet but this did not bother the Duke and Duchess at all as they continued to spend money on all their desires regardless of the price soon another blow befell the akeria family and their merchant ships sank completely during a storm at sea in that catastrophe absolutely all of the wealth of the famous first Duke

was lost which was written about in the newspapers sympathizing with this family then CEST melfor who had her own plans for this family extended a helping hand to the surviving relatives she agreed to invest in their business but made her own condition the Duke had to give her his heir to raise under normal circumstances the proud and famous akera family would not have made such a decision but now the situation was completely different so now the poor man in order to get his money back signed papers handing over his son to melfor Serena knew this

moment all too well as it was filled with a sadness that she couldn't forget no matter how hard she tried the lady understood that now aesu would not have a peaceful life since her mother's goal was to brainwash the boy one of the girl's Brothers suggested that the Countess Was preparing a Kia for marriage with Serena and he was right but in fact the cunning woman wanted to get a child from this marriage in which there would be magical blood the thing was that since childhood AES had an incredible talent for magic and this area

came easy to him in the novel it was written that the amount of magical power in the boy was so great that he no longer had equals it was this power that CEST melfor most desired to obtain for which she tried so hard to enslave the child the woman knew that even she would never be able to control the boy's magic so she decided to Cloud his mind in every way possible Madame made sure that AES obediently followed her daughter everywhere and loved Serena madly so that he never contradicted according to the plot of the

novel Juliana noticed aeria condition so she saved him with the help of her Divine abilities but one day AIS disappeared somewhere as he went alone into a dark and impassible Forest where many people got lost and he appeared after a long time in front of siren whom he blamed for his completely destroyed life the girl knew perfectly well that the guy had gotten rid of her mother's long-term influence so he was incredibly angry with her so she killed him mercilessly but in fact this is exactly what the young and tired Duke wanted in the first

place melfor was surprised when she heard this confession as she did not expect that aeria would decide to end her life so stupidly now the heroine did not know whether this story would repeat itself and she really hoped that she would be able to prevent such a sad ending she closed the book with her notes which she had written in case she forgot something from the plot of the story at this time the girl was still too young to take any decisive action AES who had just been taken in by the Countess was pleadingly clinging

to Serena's skirt in the hope of getting at least some help no one except the heroin herself noticed the pleading look of AES who did not want to be influenced any further but the lady's mother had no intention of giving the child freedom of choice and even for a little time to rest she only smiled slightly she demanded that her daughter bring this disobedient air of aeria to her as she wanted to teach him a lesson the woman's eyes remained empty and cruel even when they reflected her own beloved daughter m Dam possessed not only

enormous power but also Incredible strength so that few could resist her at all for this reason she was able to easily get rid of the other melfor heirs and quickly became the head of the family each time AES begged Serena not to give him to the Countess since communicating with her only caused him pain and fear but the girl couldn't help the boy no matter how much she wanted to do it because she had little strength the woman mockingly noted that her daughter had a kind heart so she delayed the moment of ais's Torment but

even this was useless which aeria understood perfectly well although he continued to resist the latter no one in this estate felt pity for the child since the Countess surrounded herself with people as cruel as she was the only person who tried to help the boy was siren who said that he was not feeling well today but in response her mother said that only AES would be more easily influenced since she constantly brainwashed him the woman gave the child two instructions according to one of which he had to obey her and according to the second he

was obliged to love sarin all of aeria torture took place in a cold and unpleasant room of Illusions access to which was heavily guarded in this place there were incense smelling which AES saw terrible hallucinations very similar to the truth each time the effect of the candles caused the boy great pain so that he resisted very much and did not want to go into the room there was still wild fear in the eyes of the heir of aeria because he knew that he would be locked in the room for a long time resisting the boy

waved his hand and accidentally hit very hard on the leg of a man standing right next to him that person turned out to be Serena who didn't expect that Aus would touch her so she involuntarily flinched in pain realizing what he had done the boy immediately froze in fear and looked at the girl's leg which had already turned red with Trembling Hands the child wanted to to touch the bruise but did not dare only becoming even more frightened the daughter of the melfor family decided to take advantage of this situation so that AIS would not

harm himself while trying to escape although it was very unpleasant for her to do this the girl understood that there was no other way out so she clenched her hands tightly she asked the boy not to struggle anymore knowing that now he would obediently freeze in place and allow himself to be taken to the room Serena was sad that AA had been under influence for 3 years but she was too young to help at some point aia's face began to turn red when he looked at the heroine which made her understand that he was starting

to fall in love but for some reason the child never began to obey the melfor family until the very end although he fell in love with Serena the girl did not know how to ease aes's suffering so she spent many nights lost in thought never falling asleep the lady even began to think that if the boy had finally succed come to the influence her mother would have stopped torturing him so much but part of her still didn't want AIS to be turned into an obedient and Silent doll so miss was mentally torn that night the

heroine noticed that she was tired even earlier than usual so she decided to try to sleep anyway as soon as she returned to her room Serena immediately fell onto the bed wanting to throw everything out of her head for at least a moment as strange as it may sound the only comfortable place in the house for a lady was her bed as a result the girl quickly fell asleep and woke up only when she felt some light touches realizing that she was not imagining it Miss jumped up in bed in fear to understand what was

happening it turned out that AZ had somehow made his way into her room and was now stroking her injured ankle with pitiful eyes the boy anxiously asked how Serena was feeling as he was worried about her condition after his blow but the heroine herself had long since forgotten about this moment because she had never paid attention to anything like this however akaria himself stroked Mel for's ankle with trembling hands from which she concluded that his brainwashing had been successful now it was as if aay had completely forgotten about his pride and respect and only wanted

everything to be good with Serena after being exposed to the incense the boy reacted too emotionally to the girl's injuries and asked for forgiveness the heroine felt awkward because tears were running down ais's face because he was the victim in this situation the lady understood perfectly well that all the feelings towards her were not real but were created only artificially however the Miss could not leave the child alone now so she gently stroked his head to comfort him the siren knew that once she freed aeria from the influence of the incense he would feel nothing

for her but now the boy really needed Mel for's support so the girl provided it as best she could when the boy heard that he could actually sit next to his beloved he couldn't believe his ears at first to prevent the countess's daughter from changing her mind the child quickly climbed onto her bed and asked permission to take her hand just one touch of Lady a jesu's gentle fingers made her feel much calmer and warmer so the boy gently kissed the girl's hand in gratitude for allowing him to be near her the heroine watched the

birds outside the window and thought that one day she would be able to free aeria from her mother's influence but miss didn't know what would happen to her in the end as she was afraid to imagine how strong ais's anger would be three years have passed since then and now the heroine was invited to the funeral of Duke akaria who sold his son AG's father lived a short life as a result of which he was never able to acquire the wealth he so desperately dreamed of the aristocrats around asked each other in Surprise how it

happened that the man died so young the Countess approached the Duke's wife because she wanted to express her condolence es to the Widow on the loss of her husband The Woman made a sad face and said a few supportive phrases that she herself did not really believe in their conversation was observed from the side by the melfor children who knew full well how hypocritical their mother was the younger brothers were sure that now according to the contract Aus would have to return to his home since his father was dead both of them were very worried

about this since aeria had not yet fully undergone the brainwashing so it was dangerous to let him go suddenly Karen and Maxin remembered that the son of the Dead Duke followed their sister everywhere like a faithful dog here the children of CEST melfor turned to look at their elder brother who was now pretending to be AI at that moment right before their eyes the guy's hair turned from black to white as the magic stopped working to make sure no one noticed anything one of the twins quickly ran up to his older brother and threw a

jacket over his head he told the aristocrats around him specifically that the boy should not be afraid to cry since it was absolutely normal to be sad people immediately started talking about how they didn't expect to see such a good relationship between the melfor family and aeria Son but in fact the twin was leading his older brother to his relatives because the disguise had almost completely fallen off him M explained that this was the very reason he didn't want to pretend to be ajs as his magic was too weak for that however he himself understood

that his sister definitely couldn't pretend to be a guy although she could easily pretend to be one at this point the Countess had finished all her pleasantries so she suggested that the children return back to the estate arriving home Serena first of all began to look for aeria as she heard that he had harmed himself again the previous night from one of the maids the girl heard that AIS was forcibly locked in the basement so that he would not harm himself anymore without a moment's hesitation Mel for's daughter immediately ran into the dark room to

see the guy as soon as possible her eyes were full of genuine excitement and concern as the lady understood how difficult it was to endure brainwashing quite quickly Miss found a Kia but stopped hesitantly at some distance from him not knowing what to do as soon as the guy noticed the girl he immediately reached out to her with his whole body and moaned since his mouth was covered with a gag moreover the Duke's son had strong magical handcuffs on his hands so he personally could not free himself in any way Sirena ran up to her

friend with excitement and at least helped him remove the gag since she would no longer be able to open the handcuffs AG said the girl's name sadly as he had missed her very much during the short time they had not seen each other the lady hugged the guy tenderly hoping to at least ease his suffering in this way since she couldn't do anything else Miss looked carefully at the guy's shackles again and was finally convinced that they were too well Enchanted for her and the key to these shackles was always with her mother and she

never trusted anyone with such an important magical thing suddenly the girl heard a cracking sound as if the shackles had broken which had previously seemed completely impossible to her in complete shock the heroine stared at the guy who was acting as if nothing unusual had just happened siren herself opened her eyes wide in Surprise because she knew that these shackles could not break so easily because they were reinforced and at that moment AES gently hugged the Miss which he had been waiting for for quite a long time so he could no longer keep his hands

behind his back aeria pressed his whole body against Mel for's daughter because he wanted her to never leave him again although that was impossible for a moment siren obediently froze in place and gave the guy the opportunity to enjoy the warmth of her body but soon enough the lady began to find it hard to breathe due to how tightly AIS was hugging her emotionally the girl told her friend several times that she felt uncomfortable but he did not react at all which left her perplexed the heroin remembered how in the past akeria could not come

to his senses for several days after another severe brainwashing every time Miss was next to the guy and consoled him saying that right now everything was fine and he could at least rest a little although no one asked her to do this the girl stubbornly remained near ais's bed and waited until he got enough sleep and opened his eyes so now the Mist decided to just wait until aeria collected her thoughts and came to her senses so for now she closed her eyes a few minutes later the guy let go of the lady himself as

he realized that he had squeezed her hands too hard for which he asked her forgiveness ages looked worried although the heroine herself was not at all offended by him for the accident due to which he squeezed her the guy blushed a little and admitted that he really wanted to see the girl so in the end he overestimated his strength when he asked where exactly Serena was Miss only pressed her lips in response as she was not ready to tell the truth now she understood that sooner or later her friend would find out that his father

was now dead but she didn't want it to be from her for this reason melfor looked away and said that she simply decided to take a walk because she wanted to rest the lady could only hope that AIS would not suspect anything when he saw her embarrassed and downcast gaze but aeria sighed barely noticeably as a result and said nothing to the countess's daughter even if he did understand something here The heroine noticed the bandages on aes's hand and immediately asked if it hurt since she heard that he had cut himself seriously in response the

guy pressed his hand to himself and said that everything was fine with him although it was noticeable that he was very nervous Sirena asked her friend to give her his hand so she could change the bandage and a although he didn't really want to still obeyed the lady didn't remember from what moment exactly but one day the guy began to address her politely and obeyed her in everything but miss was only frightened by this image of AIS who seemed to have completely lost his personality and become a spineless puppet Serena asked aeria not to harm

himself anymore but the guy responded that he could not promise her anything like that after which ages resentfully stated that recently the girl had been necting him quite often which made him feel bad the siren replied that there was no point in hurting herself over it but the young Duke believed that the lady had no right to say such a thing only after her words did Miss realized that she really couldn't judge her friend so she just gently stroked his hands and fell silent although akia's brainwashing was not yet complete he now obeyed only siren

although he no longer resisted the guy became Like a Man Without a purpose or meaning in life as he did nothing when the lady was not next to him siren saw with her own eyes how the young man was suffering from brainwashing so she ultimately decided to help him with all her might first Miss asked her friend to return home but he was not at all happy about being allowed to finally see his family again AG stated that the girl had no right to First lock him here and then send him back to her place

like useless trash quite rudely he suddenly asked if melfor knew why he had cut his wrist this time and almost died the her couldn't even imagine why this had happened so she looked questioningly at the Young Duke akeria sadly explained that in his last illusion the countess's daughter had cruy left him alone the boy's eyes dimmed with emotional pain because this was the end he feared most in his life the heroine noticed how much the Duke's hands were shaking which made her sad too but she could not console him in any way Serena was not

going to leave her friend but he still put his hand on her shoulder and asked her not to leave him so as Not to cause pain while AES for some reason slowly approached the lady she thought about what the end of their story in the novel was to break the silence Miss asked if aeria was really so afraid of being left alone and he immediately confirmed it the countess's daughter knew that the boy needed to gain power to get rid of influence so she asked him to prove his worth AIS latched onto his friend's words

and asked if she would be with him if he could achieve a high position in 3 years in aia's dreams the the girl was supposed to become his wife and stay by his side forever so he was ready to endure for some time Sirena without any doubt promised that she would do anything if the guy proved to her that he could do a lot immediately after talking with her friend the lady came to her mother who said that she had chosen the date for the Duke's departure to the estate the woman named the figure of

4 days which greatly surprised the girl because it seemed to her that the lady would not want to let AIS go Serena tried to pretend pretend that she expected something like this and covered herself with a cup of tea just so as not to accidentally reveal her emotions but the Countess narrowed her eyes as she guessed what her daughter was thinking about right now playing her own game with a confident look the woman asked her daughter to make akaria her lover as it would be very beneficial for both of them the heroin's eyes widened in

Surprise because she could not have expected such a turn of events the lady took some time to recover herself and and then asked her mother what exactly she meant by asking her to do this Miss remembered that in the novel she was in a completely different relationship with aeria although they loved each other due to circumstances but the girl could not even imagine that their status could ultimately rise to such an extent on the initiative of the Countess but at this moment siren was not the same as before so she clenched her fists in protest

because she did not want to do this the lady could barely hold back her lips which began to tremble slightly due to nervous tension and she did not want this and the Countess herself said that it would be great if the Duke became greater and at the same time continued to listen to the siren in everything the girl didn't know what to say in response so she looked at her reflection in the cup of tea to collect her thoughts and remain silent the akeria family suffered a great loss of reputation because of aes's Father which

was constantly discussed by the gossip hungry Aristocrats despite this the lady could not believe that her mother had suggested that she make the heir of the family just her lover the woman herself smiled innocently as if she had just said nothing out of the ordinary finally Sirena asked in confusion why AIS had to become the lover since the husband's position was also free to this the Countess explained that it would be much more difficult to remove a spouse and forget about him unlike other positions the heroine guessed that her mother once again wanted to use

A's so she reminded him that he listened to her Madame noted that aia's obedience was indeed a huge plus although that was all she could achieve then the lady said a little more confidently that she would try to make a choice regarding the young Duke herself Miss hoped that she could buy at least a little time to help the boy escape from his mother's influence as soon as the conversation with the Countess was finished the girl hurried to her friend's Chambers as she wanted to see him but for some reason a room was surprisingly quiet

as if no one was there at that moment which was impossible Miss came closer and discovered that AES was sleeping so quietly that it seemed from the outside that he had actually died somewhat hesitantly M touched the sleeping boy with her hand as she wanted to stroke him gently but not wake him up Suddenly AIS opened his eyes which surprised the lady as he was still tired so the Miss suggested that her friend sleep a little more but UR IA did not want to sleep so Serena sat down next to him and said that in

4 days the guy would be able to return home instead of being happy the young Duke became noticeably sadder because he absolutely did not want to return Mel for's daughter knew that there was not much time left so she had to tell the young man about his father's death suddenly a maid knocked on the door and said that the mistress was again calling her daughter and son aeria for some reason without thinking twice the guy stood up since in such situations he did not dare to contradict the lady so he quickly approached the door since

the heroin saw no point in remaining alone in the room she went to her mother with the young Duke with just a smile the woman showed them both the incense candle and the lady noticed that it was somehow different from the previous ones Miss narrowed her eyes in displeasure when she heard from the Countess that she had increased the dose of amalan which was poisonous to people's Consciousness after which the woman smiled contentedly although she knew that such an increase in the effect could well even lead to death she ordered her assistant to tie up

AG's and the maid immediately obediently took the chains that were intended for the boy into her hands akeria knew that he had not yet fully recovered so the mind washing would have a detrimental effect on him now therefore the heroine decided to protect her friend and stated that he did not need additional training the lady said that she would be able to control the Duke even if he was far away and the mother demanded to verify these words in response the woman asked the Miss to check how well the guy obeyed her and did everything

she said at this Madame smiled slightly but her eyes remained as lifeless and cruel as before only a few seconds later did the heroine realize that the Countess was thus teaching AES his last lesson for the day but Serena had no choice so she approached the young Duke and asked if he would resist in the process after which the girl slowly and carefully extended her hand to her friend although in fact she was not afraid of him at all but she had to play for her mother aeria took the lady's hand very calmly and very

obediently and brought it to his mouth as he decided to kiss it tenderly and lightly melfor glanced briefly at her mother after that but her face still had a distrustful and displeased expression this made the Miss smile bitterly although she tried not to show her emotions lest the Countess decide to control her the lady told the Bo that he had not done what she wanted and AIS tilted his head to the side thoughtfully trying to figure out what to do next finally the young Duke knelt before Serena continuing to express the utmost respect with his

whole appearance without a second's hesitation the young man kissed the girl's leg tenderly and lightly as he even liked this kind of game the younger melfor turned to look at her mother wanting to see if this was enough for her in response the Countess loudly clapped her hands and declared clared that the guy really did listen to her daughter well which was great imagine the heroine's surprise when The Madam nevertheless asked the maid to bring a new type of incense but then the elder brother came to his sister's Aid entered the room and said that

a carriage had already arrived for aeria the woman did not like the fact that one of her sons called a carriage to the estate earlier than she expected however she very cleverly hid her anger and only smiled hugging her son who had so interestingly outdone her at that moment Serena was incredibly happy that at least for a while ais's torment was over and he was going home that night the heroine had a dream about herself smiling cruy and coldly showing her fingers covered in blood all that interested the lady then was whether a really wanted

to be free of her so much that he decided to die Serena woke up Suddenly from Surprise and jumped up on her bed because she didn't want to end her life in exactly the same way although it was just a dream Miss still had the feeling that everything was real because she could still feel the blood on her hands this only made the girl feel worse although in the novel itself such a scene was absolutely normal and it was easier to read coming closer to the window to calm down a little Miss noticed that she

had never seen such a huge number of stars before they were reflected in the eyes of the heroine who at that moment was once again immersed in her heavy thoughts about what was happening right now the younger Melfort couldn't find an answer to the question of why she had even tried so hard even taking notes about the novel then someone knocked on the girl's door and Miss immediately thought of AES who refused to leave at nightfall and indeed aeria came to his beloved because he once again had an extremely unpleasant nightmare the heroine carefully examined

the guy's head and noticed that even his Mana at that moment was very unstable because of everything this made the lady a little nervous and she decided to try to at least slightly alleviate the condition of her friend who was already suffering greatly the siren pointed to her bed and asked the Duke to come to her so that the Miss could help him fall asleep by being constantly nearby but the heroine did not expect that AZ would suddenly push her onto the bed deliberately positioning himself on top so as Not to cause pain Miss immediately

asked aeria to move away but he responded by saying that he really wanted to sleep like that so he asked her to be quiet Serena didn't understand at all how it was possible to sleep in such an uncomfortable position so she once again suggested to her friend to Let Her Go only when he heard that he was starting to cause discomfort did the Young Duke pull away a little but he was still too close the heroine pressed herself against the Duke's warm body and unexpectedly realized that she was quite comfortable lying like this suddenly as

he had done many times before AIS whispered tenderly that he loved the girl very much and wanted to be with her for the rest of his life but the lady wanted to sleep so much that she fell asleep and saw beautiful roses as tender as Declarations of love but even in her sleep Miss was afraid that nothing might remain of these beautiful words if she freed the Duke from his influence the next morning when the heroine woke up akeria was no longer next to her so the girl stretched freely after sleep Miss knew that today

ages would finally leave for her estate after a long time so she would be safe for a moment then Maxin suddenly approached the girl and asked if she had seen Karen anywhere and the guy looked bad Miss worriedly asked her brother what had happened as she guessed that her relatives had fought for some reason then maxian said that this morning Karan had thrown a Gauntlet at aeria without asking as he was about to leave the twin thought that now was not the right time to start a fight so he stopped his brother but in the

end Karen hit maxian instead of AES which the boy complained about to his sister it has long been believed that if you throw down a gauntlet to someone you are challenging that person to a duel for various reasons and Karan periodically tried to defeat the young Duke who had no right to refuse such a fight however the twin never managed to win even once despite the fact that AES could not attack him due to influence so such fights always ended with Karen simply getting tired and stopping attacking his opponent maxion was very worried about his

brother but Serena calmed him down saying that the boy had always been so hot-tempered the twin understood that the younger brother of the family was angry for a reason because he had noticed how AIS was leaving the wrong room in the morning since even Serena didn't know where Karan was now maxian decided to continue searching for him on his own around the estate the heroin herself changed her clothes and went downstairs as she wanted to watch the long awaited departure of a IA the girl saw how focused and different the guy was and wondered how

he would behave without influence here AES asked the lady for her hand but did not explain why exactly he suddenly needed to touch the Miss Maxon who had come running to the gate at that moment shouted at his sister not to listen to this impudent young Duke the guy was so angry that even his assistant tried to calm him down although he understood that it would be useless Serena didn't even think of listening to her brother since she knew knew that he hated aeria for no reason so she gave her hand to her friend the

pleased Duke whispered that the girl should not try to take her hand back since he was not going to let it go yet unbeknownst to everyone else AES opened his mouth and bit the lady's finger as he had originally intended to do the heroine winced from The Unexpected pain but said nothing since aeria often behaved strangely and incomprehensibly getting closer to the Miss's face the guy whispered that he wouldn't want anyone to take her away while he was away so the Duke decided to leave a mark of teeth on Serena's finger instead of a ring

since he could not think of anything else akeria himself was terribly pleased that his plan had succeeded and now he smiled calmly at the lady as he began to worry less the heroine squeezed the guy's hand and said that there was no need for him to do such things because she wasn't looking at anyone after which Mel for's daughter reminded her friend that it was time for him to go since she knew that he self would not move from the spot in the end the guy obediently got into the carriage but until the very end

he looked out the window to see his beloved girl Serena knew that her friend was leaving for three whole years so she began to pray intensely for his well-being and wealth but in fact the girl was not praying for ages at all because she had a completely different goal immediately after the Duke's departure Miss began to attend church and went there throughout the 3 years of separation from a IA her goal was to gain the favor of St Juliana whom the heroine helped in every way to make the girl smile so soon the Miss was

confident that the fair-haired lady would stand by her side if such a need suddenly arose all because the saint never ceased to thank her assistant for such a good joint management of church Affairs Serena needed to befriend Juliana since in the novel it was she who freed AES from the influence of incense melfor planned to bring aeria to the Saint one day and ask for for help as she hoped that everything would work out the lady understood that the fair-haired girl would be horrified if she found out what exactly her family had been doing to

the Duke all this time so the only option for Miss was to say that she never approved of her mother's methods but could not object Serena knew that in such a case she could very well lose the trust of her brothers but she wanted to take the risk to save AIS the heroin was already preparing to lose everything she had even if she received nothing at all in return so the lady prayed hard and helped the church in every way pretending that it was from a pure heart and with all her soul and Juliana sincerely

believed that she had a real friend to whom she could trust almost everything in the world on this day the heroine had to return so she tenderly said goodbye to the fair-haired Saint in response the girl suggested that next time they discuss Innovations in the church to which melord had to agree Miss pretended until the very end that she was completely satisfied with everything that was happening because she did not want to lose trust as a result the saint soon began to consider siren a good person despite the fact that there were bad rumors about

her mother the heroine knew that Juliana spent her entire childhood in complete Solitude since she lived in the church from the very beginning when the girl showed her powers only Mel for's daughter was not afraid of her and did not ask for anything in exchange for communication deep inside the blonde lady envied her friend who could do whatever she wanted and not live only in the temple as soon as siren returned to the estate she was greeted politely by a maid but the girl wanted peace and privacy so she immediately went to her mother's Library

who had been collecting books for a very long time but in the end there were so many books that it was too difficult for the lady to find anything specific 3 years ago immediately after AIS left Miss began trying to find at least something about the imoan but so far she had only come across Darkness the girl was frightened by her mother's words that she had also increased the dose of this drug although she had not yet had time to use it in general ailon was considered a prohibited drug because it caused incredibly strong hallucinations

in people but the worst thing was that this product was also extremely addictive so it could not be used in suppositories the fact that aeria was able to maintain his sanity despite being subjected to amalon Miss could even call it a miracle however the heroine continued to be interested in the history of this drug so she continued to look at her mother's books siren understood that there was some person who first decided to brainwash people into obedience in this way and after several weeks of searching Miss found a book about amalan but she couldn't read

it right away because of the different language in it until now the countess's daughter had been stubbornly sitting over this book trying to at least understand something something normally for herself in order to help aeria later as a result the girl became so engrossed in reading that she didn't even notice how day turned into evening and someone cautiously came to her it turned out to be Mikael who leaned against the wall and asked if his sister was busy since he had something to talk about with her the lady had no desire to communicate with her

relative now so she said that she was indeed busy this rude and impolite refusal immediately angered the guy but he tried to control himself so as not to lose his temper with the younger one the brother quickly walked up to the table and slammed the book Serena was reading shut yelling at her to stop being so immersed in literature the heroine herself reacted sluggishly to such a stormy statement since she knew in advance that Mikael would not be able to stand it and would swear finally Miss asked what business her brother had that he reacted

so violently to her usual activity of reading imagine Mel for's surprise when the guy said that AIS had come to meet her although it was unplanned 3 years have passed since he left but for the heroine the time flew by absolutely unnoticed as if in one month on her mother's orders she lived periodically at the aceria estate so that the Duke would not become indignant because he did not see his beloved and for some reason in the company of the Duke and away from her mother the lady felt much calmer than in her own home

but all these trips lasted exactly a year until ages began to send long letters instead to which Miss answered briefly however the girl could not even imagine that her friend would suddenly show up at her house without even warning her she glanced again at her older brother who was still hovering over his disobedient sister with displeasure it was difficult for the heroine to understand why AES had come although in his last letters he wrote that he missed her the lady guessed that she was the only reason akeria wanted to return to the melfor estate at

all to prove his birth the young Duke began to rapidly increase his family's wealth and power as a result in just 3 years he returned his family name to its former glory once again elevating it to the ranks of great Aristocrats Sirena felt awkward because AA still assured her that he had done all this only for the sake of his one and only beloved so right now she repeated to Mikael once again that she would not go to the meeting with aaria so he could go back the brother explained that the boy had promised not

to move from his place until Serena finally came out to talk to him but this did not change the lady's decision at all which surprised Mikael who did not know that his sister was so cold-blooded a few hours later it was almost completely night outside and Miss wondered wearily if the Duke was still waiting for her the letters were already completely blurry before the girl's eyes so she decided to stop reading the lady Rose from her seat somewhat lazily as she only now realized how late it was but instead of going straight to her room

the girl headed towards the doors that led straight to the street Miss's eyes trembled nervously because she did not know what exactly she would see in front of her which is why she was very worried suddenly right in front of the heroin ages appeared with a gentle smile on his face who had finally waited for the lady after so much time Serena thought with displeasure about how stupid the guy could be who hadn't moved from his place all this time here akeria closed his eyes and said that it was quite cold outside while the girl

came out in just a dress when the boy threw his cloak over mord's daughter she lowered her head in embarrassment since she herself had made him freeze the young Duke confessed that his desire to see his beloved was so strong that he was never able to go back the young man's eyes were full of love for Serena but she knew that all this was happening to the guy only because of influence touching her friend's cheek melfor discovered that it was was very cold as the Duke had already become very cold for this reason the girl

asked AIS to come back because now he finally saw her and could be calm but aeria himself was in no hurry to leave as he wanted to enjoy the warmth of his beloved a little longer even despite the cold that pierced his entire body the Duke looked at the girl with the same clear and strong gaze he gently touched his lips to the Miss's small and neat fingers after which he carefully kissed them recalling the past the guy said that he is trying his best to achieve greatness and Power in order to prove his worth

in response siren asked if the Duke had not already become the best among many Aristocrats since he had managed to achieve so much imagine the heroin's surprise when AA suddenly declared that he would not stop until he made her a real Empress at the same time akarah remained completely calm and serious as if he had not said anything dangerous or impossible melfor looked around in a panic wanting to make sure no one could accidentally overhear them at that moment after which the countess's daughter turned to her friend again and asked if he was really planning

a couat to this the Duke merely grinned and said that the most important thing for him was to make sure that his beloved was ultimately the happiest the girl looked at the guy in confusion and almost didn't recognize him since AIS had somehow managed to change very much on the day akeria left her estate the heroine was was unable to tell him about his father's death which could have influenced the young man so Serena asked just in case if her friend would really be okay if he destroyed this country to this the guy confidently stated

with a smile that such Trifles did not bother him at all since he had other priorities gently kissing a lock of the girl's hair AJ said that she was the only one important to him and that he was not interested in anything else once again hearing from the Duke that he loved her the lady only narrowed her eyes in response since she didn't really believe in such a thing since Miss was tired she said goodbye to acaria as quickly as possible and returned to her room wanting to rest the heroine didn't really understand what she

should do next with all the information that AIS had provided her not wanting to think about it for now Serena simply fell onto the bed realizing that she would hardly be able to fall asleep anytime soon melfor herself was sad that about 2 years ago she began to strenuously avoid any meetings with the Duke despite his constant requests for a meeting the lady remained in her estate as she did not want this communication this is because the time that aeria was under influence was very important to miss so she tried to give him Freedom At

the very beginning of her search the heroine knew nothing at all about amelon and could not even understand where to begin studying it after a long time the lady finally managed to find a herb that could counteract the effects of the drug for some time without thinking twice the girl found people who made a medicine from this herb intended only for the young Duke not knowing exactly what this action would lead to Serena still asked the guy to drink the contents of the bottle looking at the girl with loving eyes AIS asked what she had

brought him since she wouldn't even say the name no matter how much aeria looked at the small bottle he could not understand what was inside in the end the guy said that he would drink the contents even if there was poison in it because his beloved asked him to after which confirming his words AIS swallowed everything that was inside the specially prepared vessel at once immediately after this akeria could not stand it and accidentally dropped the bottle which smashed on the floor with a loud crash suddenly the guy's usually foggy eyes suddenly cleared and narrowed

as they filled with pain and hatred seeing such a look Serena even stepped back although she guessed that AIS would not feel love for her the girl's hands began to tremble nervously as she could not collect her thoughts and stop being afraid of her friend's state right now his eyes were not radiating love but a cold and incredibly strong cruelty that scared the heroine to the point of trembling the girl continued to back away not knowing exactly if the siren from the original story felt the same way with excitement the lady was still able to

squeeze out a question did the guy really hate her that much without saying a word the Duke suddenly pushed the girl hard since in such a state he was not ready to argue Miss didn't even have time to dodge before she fell onto the bed where aeria had just dropped her which she hadn't expected at all but what scared Serena most was that the guy was hovering over her clearly unable to control everything that was happening without thinking Twice The Duke stretched out his hands to the Miss neck since more than anything in the world

he now wanted to strangle her imagine the heroin surprise when several hot drops fell on her face which she recognized as tears melfor couldn't understand why AIS looked at her so sadly if he really didn't intend to let her live two years have passed since then but miss still has not been able to find answers to the questions that have tormented her ever since the heroine knew that since she had managed to change the original story she had clearly been able to influence her own destiny so now the girl could not even imagine how exactly

she would die since it was not written about in the novel but even if she was destined to die at the hands of aus Serena did not even think of regretting it because she believed that she did the right thing melfor still remembered that terrible situation in which she was suffocated by the strong and powerful hands of the maddened akaria although the lady did not want to die she was ready to pay such a fee if only as a result the guy would be free remembering the original story The heroine was somehow sure that their

ending could not be changed and only one would remain alive the only thing the lady didn't know was why AES from the story couldn't kill siren but right now he's successfully killing her that day Miss lost Consciousness and was very surprised when she finally opened her eyes and found herself alive Serena sat up in bed in confusion trying to figure out if everything that had happened was just another terrible dream but then the girl noticed her reflection in the mirror in which all the bruises and redness on her her neck were clearly visible it was

at that moment that the heroine fled from the aceria estate because she became insanely afraid of returning to it again for some reason the Duke did not remember anything at all about what had recently happened which the countess's daughter learned from his letters the girl felt sad that she had to hide something from her friend but her eyes were determined to remain silent Until the End while the guy was at a distance from her the heroin continued to look for ways to rid him of the influence of the amalon in other places at the same

time the lady continued to pray simply out of habit because it was very difficult to find anything useful she was determined and had no intention of backing down because that was exactly what AIS would have done for her if their places had been reversed although Serena still didn't know much about the amelon she was glad that she managed to find at least some information the main problem was that only elves could make the medicine and they currently had a bad relationship with humans there were just times when these races cooperated with each other as they

could help each other with their knowledge in many ways the elves were famous for neutralizing any poisons since they specialized in studying this information for a long time but 30 years ago something happened that destroyed the peace between people and elves and has not reconciled them to this day then the daughter of the Elven leader and the son of the ruler of the Empire began to meet with each other which was not at all forbidden but but for some reason the prince subsequently killed his beloved for which the human race was never forgiven no matter

how much the elves protested demanding retribution for such a terrible crime it was all absolutely useless the emperor only smiled in response to all complaints because the problems of other people did not bother him at all moreover he even mercilessly ordered the execution of those elves who most actively opposed the ruler this finally alienated all the inhabitants of the forest from people so they stopped cooperating and simply hid from everyone and siren needed to somehow find at least one adult elf so she thought hard the lady understood that only these creatures could create the necessary

medicine for ages because they knew everything about herbs Miss knew that she would be able to find the creature she needed only in places where various slaves were illegally caught and kept after all right now in one of these establishments there was a captured son of the chieftain about whom all the elves were very worried the guy was caught a few years ago when he decided to try to trust people and went beyond the magical protection according to the story a knight named hyperin AES saved an elf along with other slaves for which he received

respect from the entire race Serena could barely remember that the person in charge of this entire underground organization was vicount Kalin who was an important Aristocrat and in the original story for such impudent Behavior this man was then brutally killed by the young Duke of aceria the girl Rose to her feet as soon as she thought over her entire plan since she understood that she would not have another chance not wanting to waste any more time the lady confidently headed towards her first goal which she had set for herself in order to obtain an elf

the knights were greatly surprised to see the countess's daughter who unexpectedly appeared on their training ground for the first time and the heroine herself smiled as if nothing had happened since she was not going to leave until she achieved what she wanted Miss came to this place because she knew that only here she could find her older brother who always trained hard Serena asked if Mikel was busy and he with a satisfied grin stated that he could not talk as he was taking revenge for his sister's Behavior but the girl was not at all confused

and said that she would wait until the Elder was free to talk to her when Mikel asked what Serena wanted she smiled slightly and asked him to give her toip invitation it was an invitation to an illegal auction from VI count Kalin who used this pseudonym just in case Mikael for his merits entered into the circle of high society so he too was sent a letter inviting him to this event in the novel he remained the brother of Serena who was the main villain until the very end so they both had influence only right now

the guy said that he has no idea what exactly his sister is asking about since he is not connected with it the heroin did not respond to this objection as she was thinking about what to say next it was the first time in a long time that she had seen such a lifeless and merciless expression on The Smiling Elder's face suddenly the guy came closer and leaning towards the girl whispered that she shouldn't know about anything like that in response the lady smiled sweetly and said that it was her brother's own fault that she had

managed to find out about his involvement in the auction as soon as the Elder melfor heard such an accusation his eyes only became several times colder because of it Miss hastened to explain that she was not asking for such a difficult favor for no reason since she had something to offer in return the girl raised one hand up and promised her brother that she would give him her blood for further experiments with her each person's blood contained unique Magic and Sirens was especially rare and complex which intrigued many the heroine remembered all too well how

much her brother had previously been interested in her blood since he loved to study such things however this time the guy's eyes were not as friendly as usual as he only became more Angry only once in her life did the lady allow her elder brother to use her blood in some of his experiments but in the end she felt so strange that she decided not to give Mikael that opportunity anymore however now this invitation was so necessary for the girl that she even promised to give away part of her Minds these Minds were given to

her by AES not long ago AG go and the Elder melfor showed genuine interest in them because of the valuable minerals inside but for some reason these words only made the guy even more Angry as he had long since stopped wanting to listen to what his sister was telling him leaning over siren he whispered with pain in his voice that he didn't look like a man who could calmly sell out a loved one it was important for Mikel to prove that he was not as bad as the lady thought of him so the guy tried

to smile at this point the conversation was over the older brother so he turned around and walked quickly away from the girl however Miss was not at all confused and unexpectedly laughed loudly after Mikel as he left without a moment's hesitation siren deftly summoned a magical blade which she put to the guy's throat with Incredible speed after which the lady said that she could kill her brother right now if she really wanted to mik didn't say anything in response but just irritably began to lower the blade of the sword which slightly cut his throat at

the same same time the guy's eyes expressed such strong rage that the heroine even felt uneasy for a few moments however the girl couldn't afford to retreat so she only made the magic blade even stronger not wanting to let go of her brother siren ran straight at him seriously trying to attack him so he would listen to her but this time the Elder easily dodged his sister's attack since he was much better than her in fencing barely containing the rage in his voice Mikel warned that he would not stand by if his sister tried to

attack again the guy could not believe that the lady could really be as stubborn and disobedient as she was now the brother intuitively brushed off Miss's latest attack and asked her to finish everything before he got completely angry in response siren made a sad face and whispered that she really needed this invitation to the auction but as soon as the girl lost her vigilance for a moment her blade was mercilessly broken in that very second and now the lady froze in place feeling with horror her brother mother's sword literally a few millimeters from her thin

neck convinced of his superiority the Elder melfor once again asked if they really would continue the heroine didn't answer but simply concentrated on restoring her blade and coming up with another plan she smiled slightly trying to stall for time a little and give herself the opportunity to think better Mikel himself froze with his sword extended forward as if he couldn't control his emotions at all at that moment the heroine only now realized that for the first time in her life she saw her Elder so angry because usually he tried to remain calm the girl didn't

know why her request to give her the invitation letter excited the guy so much because he could just help her the only thing that came to the lady's mind was that Mikel still looked at her as if she were a gentle and fragile miss it is quite possible that the guy sees in his sister the same small and defenseless child who constantly needs help here the Elder melfor sword vibrated on a l note which brought the heroin to her senses and she remembered their fight therefore the lady used the magic sword which she had managed

to restore during this time and attacked her brother again but no matter how hard Mist tried she was once again simply thrown back with terrible Force since the guy was very strong siren looked mik over from head to toe but could not find a single weak spot in his posture or swordsmanship but no matter how tired the girl was she saw that her brother didn't really want to harm her so he was fighting weakly while the lady's hands were shaking from excessive physical strain for which she was not at all prepared M again easily pushed

Miss back to another wall and she could do nothing to resist him the heroin's breathing was completely lost but she had no intention of giving up as a cunning plan had matured in her head although it seemed from the outside that siren was cornered this was exactly what the lady wanted since she had no other way to win the melfor stopped at some distance from his sister and once again asked her to stop and end this stupid fight the guy's eyes expressed genuine concern about everything that was happening because he didn't want to harm the

Miss but the heroine herself continued to smile slightly despite the fact that she was really losing to her brother at that moment despite all her fatigue siren was saving her strength to use magic and win the girl knew that among all the countess's children she was the one with the best magical AB abilities but even a lady would need some time to create a spell but she didn't have any right now for this reason siren decided to take a risk and rushed into battle again hoping that she would have time to whisper the appropriate spell

the guy still calmly and easily repelled his sister's attack since he hadn't even gotten tired at all during all this time and the heroine herself even ended up breaking her magic sword due to overexertion although she had diligently strengthened it the girl did not expect the at all so she took a step back and ended up falling to the floor hitting herself painfully and Mikael still quickly attacked his sister when she got to her feet because he thought that Miss would defend herself the heroine's eyes blazed with seriousness as she understood how dangerous a game

she had started but she could not do otherwise siren exposed herself to the blow causing her brother's sword to cut her neck something the Elder melfor himself did not expect and did not plan at all mikel's eyes widened as he realized the terrible situation that had happened and he involuntarily took a few steps back the guy panicked and asked the girl why she didn't protect herself from his blow since she should have had enough strength in response Miss smiled slightly because this was exactly the moment they had been waiting for all this time and now

it had finally happened the brother realized too late that he had fallen into a real and serious trap from which he would now not be able to escape the lady finished Whispering the spell That was supposed to immobilize the Elder and immediately the entire field was illuminated by a bright flash mikale didn't know how to resist anything like that so he took a direct hit from the spell and began to slowly fall backwards the heroine approached her Fallen brother and said that although she handled a sword worse than him she was much better at Magic

Serena explained that she would never let anyone hurt her so the Elder didn't have to worry about her so much the boy didn't respond as he was too shocked that he ended up losing to his younger sister suddenly Mikel announced that he needed a third of the lady's Minds if she wanted to receive from him an invitation from toshido with entry to the market he explained this by saying that since he could not get all the mines he would at least now get part of them which would greatly help him in his research to this

the girl smiled sweetly and nodded in agreement since getting into the underground was more important to her than money with an the boy raised his finger up and pointed to the room in the estate where the books were and named the one in which he had hidden this invitation Miss immediately noted with a laugh that such hide-and seek was in the style of her brother who was good at keeping other people's Secrets Mel also smiled back although he admitted that his sister's Behavior frightened him a little since he didn't recognize her as a result that

same evening the heroine went to the right place with the sail of slaves which was indicated in the invitation the girl could not get to the event in her true form so she used magic to put on the image of her older brother as soon as she came closer one of the inspectors immediately demanded to see the invitation because without it they wouldn't let her in the lady was not at all confused and held out the very letter that she had so hard won from Mikael as soon as the guard saw him he was shocked

since the Elder Melfort had the highest level among the other guests while the Miss stood and did not move the assistants ran around looking for the manager so that he could communicate with this guest himself soon a masked Aristocrat came out to siren and politely introduced himself as kilan smiling affectionately the heroine did not expect that her brother's influence in the underground world would be so great that everyone around her would run around she understood that if Mikael had not won enormous trust the organizer of all the auctions would not have been called to him

although the lady didn't resemble the guy very much because of her height she decided to play her role to the end and asked about the captured elf kilan immediately reported that this creature was found very recently and is the main item of today's auction hearing that the elf would only be shown at the very end melfor became sad because she knew that by then it might be too late but in this case in addition to the main plan the lady had another one which she decided to use without hesitating for a second the heroin asked

the assistant where exactly the elf was being kept because she wanted to see him in advance but the guy knew that no one had been given permission to watch so he could only remain silent so as not to anger anyone suddenly kilan intervened in the conversation and explained to the stupid guard that there were no prohibitions for the man in front of him as a result Serena followed the manager towards the cells glad that Mikael occupied such a high place the dungeon was very noisy because some of the slaves were demanding to be released again

and not kept here but all that came in response to the cries for help were painful blows from a whip forcing them to remain silent in the end the girl didn't expect things to be that bad but she knew that according to the plot of the story The Knight hyron would soon save everyone soon the manager brought his important guest to the cage with the very elf who was highly valued siren looked at this creature with alarm because for a moment it seemed to her that he was actually dead but then the guy's piercing green

eyes suddenly opened wide showing the miss a huge amount of intelligence in them the girl was horrified by the number of bruises on the elf's body who was clearly being severely bullied in an attempt to find out where his village was here kilan again tried to talk to melfor to which she irritably asked him to go away and not disturb her the Aristocrat did not expect such a turn of events so he hesitantly froze in place hoping that the guest was joking but the lady even waved her hand driving away the manager who was no

longer needed by her now and who could no longer help in any way the man tried to figure out what exactly he had done wrong to make a highlevel client so angry with him but siren looked at the Aristocrat so coldly that he lost all desire to communicate and ask her questions only after this did the manager obediently run away since only now did he realize that he would not change anything the heroine immediately looked at the elf who even in Blood and dust seemed to be the same beautiful and graceful creature the only thing

that worried Miss was that the elf's eyes were clouded due to his unstable mental state the girl leaned her hands against the bars because she herself did not know whether she could save the chieftain's son from his terrible past unexpectedly the elf spoke first and asked if the guest still wanted to buy it despite its current state in response siren smiled sweetly and stated that this is exactly what she plans to do even if the elf is strongly against it melfor herself was not at all embarrassed by the fact that she was forced to participate

in the bidding to achieve her goal but for some reason the elf didn't want to make contact at all and instead continued to silently examine the client as a result the lady even began to worry about how indifferent the fate of the chieftain's son was to him now the elf's lips barely stretched into a smile when the heroine began to bombard him with various questions about his condition and well-being the only thing that made the creature look at the Miss was the mention of his possible return home but sighing heavily the elf suddenly blurted out

that he didn't quite understand what exactly was being discussed because he couldn't believe the guest's words the guy narrowed his eyes contemptuously and nervously asked what exactly the man who wanted to let him go wanted Serena did not hide the fact that she needed help so she admitted that she would free the elf in exchange for her request it was unclear from the face of the chieftain's son to what extent he believed in everything that was happening and wanted to continue talking with the lady but the Miss was not going to back down and asked

the elf about his unique abilities to cleanse the body of various poisons the elf became noticeably interested in this conversation since for the first time in a long time he moved and even Rose from his seat but the guy still couldn't believe that if he made an antidote the guest would definitely let him go home so the elf asked Direct L how he could even trust a person he was meeting for the first time in his life out of anger he even accidentally squeezed the bars of the great although he could not break them no

matter how hard he tried to do so but Serena unexpectedly calmly replied that the elf could not believe her if he did not want to since she was not going to persuade him the girl took off her mask and showed her Enchanted face to the elf saying that she would still try to carry out her plan such persistence visibly struck the guy whose green eyes widened in surprise at the words he heard according to the plot kiprun eight accidentally saved this elf along with the rest of the slaves because he wanted to shut down the

auction but the heroine was going to help the chieftain's son for her own personal reason because she needed this medicine for AIS eventually the elf realized he had no other choice so he extended his hand to the lady to secure their cooperation the guy confused asked the important guest to keep his promise since had no one else to rely on before letting the lady Go the elf suddenly asked her to introduce herself to him and called himself ecult to confirm the alliance but what confused the elf most about this situation was that for some reason

the girl did not let go of his hand although the handshake had already ended suddenly having asked for forgiveness for this in advance the heroine quickly took a bracelet out of her pocket and put it on U's hand the guy's face immediately distorted with anger and he pulled his hand away glaring at the girl who dared to do such a thing then siren hastened to explain that it was a bracelet only to cement their Union and she had the same one still angry the guy nevertheless tilted his head to the side with interest and asked

to show him the presence of the second decoration it wasn't hard for melfor to do this so she immediately showed her new ally another piece of jewelry the lady then put it on her hand causing the bracelets to Glow as they were magical in themselves since it was time for her to go the Miss quickly put her mask back on and reminded ult that she would soon buy him out the elf said nothing in response only smiled benevolently because he still did not know whether he could trust this man just before leaving the heroine remembered

the upcoming Riot and therefore asked her Ally not to run but to hide somewhere after this the manager LED Serena to the best place which she deserved because of her brother's status the heroin saw something like this for the first time so she carefully looked around trying not to meet anyone's gaze while waiting for the event to begin the lady nervously tapped her finger on the railing and didn't even notice it during the start of the auction Miss Even managed to get bored since it began with the sale of ordinary jewelry Aristocrats were happy to

buy these little things because they wanted to shine brighter than everyone else due to unique jewelry it was only after a few hours that the presenter announced that they were moving on to more important goods than anything that had come before Serena cringed inwardly and began to wait impatiently since during the whole time many people were buying goods and she was just sitting as a result at some point Miss even began to yawn from incredible boredom that struck her approximately halfway through the auction suddenly the presenter announced a slave which they had barely been able

to find and catch due to the Rarity and hiding ability of this creature to the thunderous Applause of the crowd an elf walked onto the stage maintaining a bored and expressionless face the entire time the guy raised his head in an attempt to find siren since only her actions interested him at the moment because he wanted Freedom EOL soon even began to worry about the fact that the girl for some reason continued to remain silent while people named the price suddenly still pretending to be Mikael the lady entered the bidding and named a sum too

high for everyone else the heroine was confident that she had named a price that no one could beat so she was already very happy inside even the host was embarrassed by what was happening although this was far from his first auction and he had seen a lot in his life melfor was incredibly pleased with everything that was happening because there were only a few seconds left before her purchase but EOL himself suddenly felt an anxiety that was incomprehensible to him although everything was going exactly as they had originally agreed imagine the heroin's surprise when some

guy to her right named a sum several times higher causing the count to start over again the aristocrats around immediately began to whisper in Surprise as this was the first time in their experience that they had ever seen such large sums even the auctioneer lost his composure and stared in surprise at the man who had named such a price the heroine looked at the guy whose face was hidden behind a bandage and was surprised at how rich his family was was but even so the lady could not Retreat because ransoming the elf was more important

to her than all other nuances that evening but as soon as the Miss raised her price The Stranger increased his again which left her greatly confused at the same time he remained standing casually in place with his arms crossed over his chest as if nothing unusual had happened while Serena understood that an even larger amount could cause too much damage to her property for the first time in her life melfor began to doubt whether she could even win this surprisingly difficult battle at this moment Mikel was lying on the bed with a bored look since

right now it was his time to rest the guy was so bored that he even began to fear going crazy due to the lack of anything to do the eldest son of the melfor family even began to find it funny that he used to dream of lying in bed all day but now he no longer does he replayed his last conversation with his sister over and over in his head when she tried to prove that she was better at Magic the guy still found it strange that the lady had managed to grow up at some

point and was no longer a little girl now Serena has proven that she can handle many things on her own if she wants to but Pride for the girl fought with sadness inside the older brother who could not help but worry about the younger one mikol still thought that Miss was still as tender and fragile as she had been in childhood during their games then the girl tried to spend almost every day with her older brother always tenderly calling him by name but what surprised the Elder melfor most was that the lady thought about him

a lot and tried not to leave him without gifts from that time on he remembered the girl's cute crafts made of snow which she always presented to him with a joyful smile so although the girl proved that she could stand up for herself perfectly well Mikel couldn't stop worrying about her for this reason before the auction began he wrote a letter to AIS asking him to go to the event and keep an eye on Serena at that moment akeria didn't know what to do with his evening so the letter from Mel's older brother was just

in time Mikel admitted that he could not attend the auction in person as the invitation was only for one person the guy was very angry that the girl decided to go to such a dangerous place alone so he squeezed the letter he did not understand the reasons why the lady needed to take such a risk and wanted to find out everything personally A's remembered that no matter what he gave Miss every time she had almost no reaction even to the most precious thing so he planned to take advantage of the opportunity and find out what

Serena actually wanted for the first time in her life when the young Duke came to the auction he immediately recognized his beloved even though she used good magic but Serena was never able to completely hide her bright red eyes that looked like rubies which ultimately gave her away AIA secretly watched the girl and thought that there was definitely no one in the world more beautiful than her the guy was very interested in what exactly the lady wanted to get since she even came to such a place as a slave auction for some reason she did

not react in any way to the numerous decorations that were quickly bought up by other Aristocrats so the Duke's anxiety grew more and more because soon the only Goods left were slaves ages didn't want to believe that the lady wanted to buy someone from people but because of excitement he nervously squeezed the railing with his hand and akeria was confused by the fact that time passed and Miss became only more and more boring despite the variety of goods suddenly an incredibly beautiful elf was brought onto the stage walking with his head held high despite the

fact that he was in captivity imagine the Duke's surprise when siren at that very moment spoke up and set a price for this slave hatred for the elf immediately flared brightly inside the guy and he wanted to destroy him if only the lady would not buy anything but AZ had no right to get rid of the goods so he decided to play by the rules of the auction and also named a price acaria was going to make sure that the elf couldn't stand next to his beautiful beloved for even a second but the girl did

not want to give up quickly so she also began to increase the amount raising it to incredible Heights this made the Duke's eyes light up with excitement and he decided to do anything to prevent Serena from buying this beautiful slave ult who heard everything that was happening perfectly well thought with anxiety about what his ally would do now but the heroine found herself in a dead end since everything had reached the point where she could not name a price even higher than she had already said the girl understood perfectly well that she needed to come

up with some other plan as soon as possible but for now she couldn't do anything suddenly from somewhere near the doors a crash was heard that should not have happened during the auction immediately after this a young man came came onto the stage barely able to walk forward due to injuries he had received from an unknown source the guy could barely squeeze out that everyone was in trouble because the building had just been stormed the host angrily asked who dared to attack this place since he did not immediately believe in such a thing but before

the assistant could answer his chest was pierced with a sword by a knight who had quietly run up behind him only one heroine was not surprised by what was happening since she knew about these events from the plot of the novel hyperon eight appeared in the auction Arena intending to free all the slaves from custody and destroy the place at the sight of the boy the aristocrats immediately perked up and ran away so that none of them would be caught for punishment but the Knight had no desire to let anyone go so he abruptly gave

the order to catch as many people as possible siren was very lucky at that moment because she was in a special Zone from which she could easily leave safe and sound moreover this place also had an excellent view of all of kyon's actions so the lady could well predict them for a moment Miss met A's gaze but immediately after that she turned to leave the dangerous place the girl had no desire to get into trouble so she decided to be more careful from now on as soon as siren went down she ran as quickly as

possible towards the exit in order to then take the elf with her suddenly her path was unexpectedly blocked by one of the Knights of cypron who was patrolling this area just in case the guy was completely confident of his victory so he demanded that the red-eyed guy surrender immediately Mel for's daughter knew something like this could happen so she wrote down formulas for herself to speed up her spells this helped the lady a lot because usually it took her many times longer to activate magic although Miss could have dealt with this night with swordsmanship she

reached for her blade to counter the girl planned to use magic a little later since it would still take some time to activate but the Knight didn't believe at all that such a fragile girl could cope with him so he laughed loudly without answering siren suddenly attacked the guy but he was able to easily Dodge her blade suddenly becoming serious the heroine guessed that cypron had recruited good nights for himself but she didn't think that it would be so difficult for her with them suddenly without expecting it the assistant fell sharply to the floor as

he had a huge number of cuts on him the whole point was that the lady Enchanted her blade so that in invisible threads were trailing behind it which hurt everyone therefore although the guy dodged the blade he will not be able to avoid the attack of the thread because he did not even notice any of them but miss had no time to stand still because other guards could come running after her at any moment right now eal obediently hid behind the arena as he had made a promise to siren not to run away during the

commotion however the guy was worried that the lady might end up simply running away as Aristocrats had done Mel for's words asking him to hide somewhere stuck in the Elf's head and he kept thinking about how she could have predicted something like this only the bracelet reminded EOL that he had indeed made an alliance with a human which surprised him but the elf still couldn't find an answer to the question of what made him obediently sit still and wait for the girl all his life his relatives kept telling him that he shouldn't trust people because

they are too selfish and can easily deceive but he kep decided to find the answer to the question of why people were so cruel on his own so he left the village at night almost immediately he was caught by slave Traders and from that moment on the young eyes burning with curiosity stopped shining and at that moment the elf shrinking his whole body thought that until now he could not understand people although he had spent many days in their company but what surprised the guy most was that he decided to believe a human girl when

he suddenly heard the sound of of curtains opening AEL turned around anxiously expecting siren to come to him but the steps were too heavy for her it turned out that the elf was accidentally found by some Aristocrat who decided that luck was on his side since he got the slave for free before the boy could come to his senses the man hid him painfully forcing him to silently and obediently follow him causing ecult to cry suddenly the Aristocrat burst into flames and caught fire in an instant after after which he screamed never shaking off the

fire dying from the Flames he fell right on the elf but for some reason did not cause him any harm at all at first the boy closed his eyes in fear as he did not have any magic and thought that the fire would consume him too imagine ecult surprise when he discovered that he was not receiving any damage from the Flames around him the chieftain's son looked at the bracelet in confusion and realized that it was this magical thing that had somehow saved him the elf couldn't believed that the girl had thought of such an

option so she was able to help her Ally however he didn't have time to stay in this place any longer so the boy rushed forward to look for siren the exit was almost right in front of the blonde's eyes and all he had to do was get to it to be safe but before ielt could do this he suddenly felt some invisible blow causing him to lose his balance and fall the chief's son tried to get up but even that was not possible since the magic was still affecting his body body lying on the floor

the elf could barely turn his head to the side and saw the legs of some guy clearly dressed like an aristocrat no matter how hard he tried EOL still couldn't force himself to move anymore so he could only lie there and the unfamiliar guy with a Sly smile leaned over the slave as he was surprised that he remained alive the closer The Stranger got to the elf the more he panicked as he felt that the blue-haired man was dangerous and the guy himself remained just as unperturbed despite the Raging dangerous Flames around him the chieftain's

son had no idea what exactly this man could do to him so he tried not to provoke him the Aristocrat himself smiled even wider and with a slight movement of his hand adjusted the decoration on his neck showing his interest suddenly the elf felt that the bracelet on his hand had opened due to the stranger actions and he himself fell to the ground the guy stretched and admitted that he had expected to Simply deal with the man he hated but he had also met a slave ult felt disgust towards the magician from such confessions since

he did not understand how it was possible to harm someone of his own kind and the stranger himself laughed loudly and said that even the elf's gloomy face could be considered beautiful the chieftain's son only became even more angry because of such words although right now there was nothing he could do anyway for some reason everything around him was blurring before his eyes although the elf did not want to lose Consciousness at such a moment so he tried to move from the spot but received another Blow from which he flew several meters and hit himself

painfully but right now eal felt almost no physical pain since he was tormented by emotional pain several times more he couldn't get the siren's promise out of his head saying that she would save him but in the end it didn't happen as a result looking at the broken bracelet the elf concluded that he had once again tried in vain to trust person who was selfish by Nature here the magician with a sweet smile on his face said that he had thought for a long time about what to do with the elf and decided that he

would be good in the form of a stuffed animal eal had no strength left to react in any way to such terrible words addressed to him and the blue-haired stranger himself enjoyed his power and authority in front of the slave he unexpectedly found very slowly the boy touched the elf's hair evaluating its softness since he really was going to make a doll these touches sent shivers of horror through ult's entire body who was once again very frightened by what was happening the chieftain's son pressed his lips together until they hurt because he realized that he

had done a stupid thing when he decided to rely on Sirin who had run off somewhere in order to somehow try to win back his life the elf gathered his last strength into a fist and attacked the magician because he wanted to win the blue-haired boy's eyes narrowed in disdain as he realized that this slave dared to attack him with ease as if he hadn't noticed eols jerk at all the magician grabbed him by the head and hit him on the floor thereby stopping him the guy began to openly laugh at the elf's unsuccessful attempt

since he was several times stronger than him even physically at the same time although he continued to smile on his face in reality the magician became so angry that he wanted to kill the blonde at that moment there was great tension in the heroine's eyes because something happened that she could not even imagine the girl found herself trapped in a narrow space with a sharp sword held to her throat which she was unable to avoid the lady was very confused when hyperin attacked her because in the original story he was not supposed to leave the

arena Miss understood perfectly well that she could not under any circumstances be shown who exactly she really was she had already danced with this Knight at a ball once so there was a high probability that he would recognize her suddenly aat asked if they were by chance acquainted since the figure of the guest in The Mask reminded him of someone although siren was confident that she had changed her appearance and voice well with magic she was still scared she knew that hyon was a very strong Knight so she wouldn't be able to defeat him even

with her formulas at that moment the boy lowered his sword as he prepared to attack The Stranger in front of him and the lady took a step back but this didn't help her at all and the Knight easily closed the distance between them reaching for her mask the girl cowered in fear realizing that the moment when she would be exposed was about to come and it would be impossible to prevent suddenly a tall stranger jumped up from behind the Miss and pressed her mask back to her face saving her from IES literally the next second

the strong Knight was left near the wall completely alone since the girl and the boy had disappeared Kyon was very surprised that one of the auction guests was able to use tele a magic because it was rare the heroine herself only realized a few seconds later that she had somehow left that dangerous place she looked around and saw a trading house a few kilometers away the Flames of which were reflected in her eyes The Stranger who for some reason saved her still continued to carefully hold the lady's body in his arms Serena had no idea

who had helped her so unexpectedly and why so she decided to carefully try to find out but this man clearly had no desire to reveal his identity as he moved a few steps away from the Miss melfor immediately guessed that this was the same guy who competed with her for icult and was now hiding his face the heroine began to ask questions when she suddenly discovered that her voice modulation magic had failed during the teleport but for some reason the stranger was not surprised which surprised Serena even more who wanted to know the truth but

no matter how many questions the lady asked for some reason the guy continued to stubbornly remain silent and shake his head eventually the girl got tired and decided to change the subject by asking if the magician knew who exactly she was however this time too Mel for's daughter was faced with silence which made her less inclined to try to speak instead she tried to look around wanting to see how far she was from the auction house realizing Something siron Turned to the guy with a smile and asked if he could help her again knowing that

he would not refuse the heroine had initially come up with several plans to Ransom ecult and now she could begin the next one it was for this purpose that she gave her Ally a magic bracelet which she intended to use later the lady specially Enchanted the jewelry so that the magic in it would ultimately protect its wearer and at the same time this same bracelet was a means of transmitting energy with the help of which Miss could track the elf before the auction began siren drew a magic circle near the location so that could teleport

but melfor put in a little more effort to eventually succeed in moving desires into this circle so she could easily move herself using even a small amount of magic to save EOL but while the heroin was looking for a suitable place for this the Knight Kon just happened to find her in the end the lady was unable to put her first plan into action so she had to urgently change her actions since siren couldn't get to the circle near the auction right now she Drew another one as quickly as possible after which she turned to

the stranger and asked him to direct magical power into the circle she had drawn the guy didn't resist although he could have accidentally given himself away with his actions because melfor knew his Aura akaria immediately recognized the magic of movement in the circle as he was an expert in such matters that required skill but no matter how hard he tried he couldn't activate the magic so AIS sadly reported this at first the heroine did not believe what was said since this was only possible if the bracelet was removed she narrowed her eyes nervously knowing full

well that EOL would never be able to remove it on his own Miss guessed that the elf had met another magician so she asked the guy next to her to teleport them again in response the guy nodded silently since for him it really wasn't that difficult a matter in principle siren herself was surprised by such an answer since teleportation belonged to the highest kind of magic and required a lot of energy this ability was similar to her movement but she needed to use formulas to activate the power Miss realized that since this man could use

teleportation so easily he was a very talented magician but when melord asked him to return to the auction acara said that he didn't want it at all then the heroine made sad eyes and said that she had forgotten something important and would really like to get it back she hoped that the magician would take pity on her and help her but even despite all this he still refused again but Serena looked at the guy and realized that he was not at all exhausted but was simply being naughty for some reason so she decided to use

all her charm and gently took the masked man's hand to ask him again it worked because ais's heart couldn't take it anymore and he still obediently moved his beloved to the auction the heroine was even a little scared because she didn't feel sick at all during such a neat teleport however she thanked the guy for his help and was about to leave when suddenly he grabbed her hand the girl noticed that the magician was clearly upset that she was going to return but she could not retreat but the guy wasn't going to let the lady

go to such a dangerous place so he only squeezed her hand tighter Serena did not like such restrictions so she thanked for the care and help but asked not to interfere anymore this noticeably upset the magician who had managed to do so much for the girl completely free of charge that she drove him away imagine Mel for's surprise when this man suddenly declared that he would go with her towards the arena the Miss awkwardly hugged herself by the shoulders as she was embarrassed by this and asked if the guy would regret it in the end

in response akeria stated with complete confidence that he would be completely fine since he was familiar with the consequences the heroine warned that she would continue to use his magic to which the magician expressed his full consent hearing that he would definitely not regret anything the lady was even more horrified because she had never met anyone with such a reserve of energy the girl took her assistant by the hand and asked him to move them to the second floor since he was not against it and AIS still hiding behind the scarf calmly asked what place

exactly the young lady wanted to go to now Serena started to explain that she wanted to be where everyone was watching the auction when suddenly the chandelier collapsed near her only now did the heroin notice that black smoke filled almost the entire room so they needed to hurry but the lady had no idea where exactly in this place she should look for the elf since he no longer had the bracelet on suddenly a magician near her asked if she was really looking for ecult which the Miss immediately confirmed with a sweet smile because she did

not want to lie akeria stated quite calmly and ruthlessly that the guy should have died long ago so it was necessary to leave but siren continued her search anyway carefully making her way through the smoke and looking around she remind Ed the magician that he also wanted to buy the elf to which he stated that he no longer needed this slave Sirena didn't understand if this was the same person who had tried so hard to stop her from buying the elf suddenly the lady heard a living sound in this dying building and immediately ran in

that direction to try to find out everything imagine the heroine's surprise when she discovered EOL lying right next to some blue-haired guy the chieftain's son was clearly in great pain as he was beaten once again but he was still able to remain alive for now the girl couldn't even imagine that she would be so late so she almost immediately began to be tormented by pangs of conscience but the lady quickly switched from them because a blue-haired stranger began to approach her who harmed the elf the bright blue eyes of this guy glowed somehow unkindly which

made Miss immediately feel unwell because she was scared the magician abruptly extended his hand to the girl whom he also mistook for a guy and whispered that he would make make this man his own too the heroine didn't even have time to react to the fact that the magician in all seriousness stretched out his hands to her to take her for himself only when the lady felt the magic near her head she brushed it away as quickly as possible so as not to fall under its influence Sirena was surprised to see that the guy continued

to smile despite the fact that she pushed him away the blue-haired Mage seemed completely unconcerned by the fact that more enemies had appeared right in front of him before Mel could engage in battle with the stranger to save the elf her assistant suddenly stopped her akeria hugged the girl tightly and asked her not to interfere in what was happening and not to hurt herself but Serena didn't expect that a who was hiding under a mask would suddenly decide to reveal himself so clearly with his actions the Miss asked why the guy was helping her at

all if he still continued to hide his face for some reason to which he replied that the lady's hidden face was more important to him and this selflessness only angered the heroine even more so without thinking twice Miss bit her friend hard on the finger that he accident left right next to her mouth but the young Duke didn't even Flinch which made Serena even more Angry since she had put in the effort to fight here the blue-haired magician spoke again and said that he had the feeling that he had already seen people in front of

him somewhere akeria had no desire to interact with a stranger who had just wanted to take his lady so he became rude when the girl heard that AIS was going to give the elf away she immediately and abruptly broke away from his rot as she was against it she fell to her knees in front of ult and noticed that the boy was still alive although he was barely breathing melfor lifted the poor elf from the floor as carefully as possible realizing that he was unlikely to regain Consciousness anytime soon at that moment right above them

the ceiling which had been under the influence of the heat of the Flames all this time time cracked loudly the first to notice this was the blue-haired Mage who only wanted to have fun not suffer the guy carefully examined the building and concluded that it was indeed dangerous to stay in this place for any longer for this reason he smiled slightly and said that he would leave here first although he would gladly stay a little longer before his disappearance the magician addressed Sirin kindly and hoped that they would meet again someday the heroine understood that

it would be wrong to to let this dangerous man go so easily but she had no choice now since she shouldn't be staying here either the lady turned to the assistant and asked if he would teleport the three as much as aju didn't want to leave the elf in this place he understood that the Miss wouldn't allow it so the guy had to obey as soon as they were transported out of the destroyed auction building the girl discovered that they were back in the Hut since she was tired of this game siren asked how long

AIA would remain in hiding causing the Mage to frown deeply but in reality melfor could not help but recognize the Duke because only he was ready to help her so selflessly so although AIS himself was unhappy about being exposed the heroine couldn't stop grinning the girl admitted that because her friend changed his voice she did not recognize him right away but it still happened quickly in the end the lady only began to get angry at the fact that she had been trying to free eal all this time and aeria was somehow getting in her way

to find out the reasons for this Behavior Serena slowly but surely approached the young Duke the guy became noticeably embarrassed by her intense gaze but he did not Retreat since it was now useless in the end melfor removed the mask from her assistant without any problems finally convinced that she was right after which the heroine gently touched the Duke's face and asked what he was doing at a secret slave auction since the magician did not want to answer anything the girl decided to press even harder and assumed a majestic pose but AZ suddenly declared that

he was not the only one who hid his identity so everything was ultimately honest between them in response Serena laughed cheerfully and admitted that she had had a lot of fun pretending to be the older brother all this time suddenly aeria suddenly approached the lady and asked why she needed this elf since she had not needed him before Miss could see in her friend's eyes how much he didn't like this situation but out of spite she didn't want to explain anything while they were in this abandoned Hut siren felt completely in control of the entire

situation suddenly the guy grabbed the Miss's hand just as sharply and started asking questions about the magic bracelet that was incomprehensible to him before the heroine even had time to push AIS took all control of the situation from her which made her very nervous the girl tried to break free and reminded the magician that he was stronger than in her so he was now squeezing her hand painfully since aeria continued to ask about the elf the Miss warned that she would stop communicating with him if he did not let go only after this threat did

the Young Duke ease the pressure although he still held the young lady's hand in his own suddenly he admitted that he was simply jealous which is why he was asking so many questions about an unfamiliar but handsome guy in response Miss said that the Duke might be embarrassed to have such feelings towards her because of other people after which the girl added that she really needed this elf which upset the young gentleman even more she calmly explained that EOL had to help her with one extremely important matter which the Miss did not intend to abandon

in the end the heroine took pity and gently stroked ais's face deciding to confess everything to him without thinking Serena clearly and confidently stated that she wanted to free her friend from the influence of amelon and her mother but the guy suddenly became gloomy instead of being happy about what he had just heard the heroine could not understand why such a sad expression appeared on ais's face if she wanted to free him the lady suddenly realized that if a bird is kept in a cage all its life it will not want to fly out of

it as soon as the door is opened and right now aeria was absolutely no different from such a bird which made the girl even sadder she didn't know for sure whether she should have even used Force but still freed the stupid and weak-willed creature as if to confirm these thoughts the Duke pressed his cheek to the lady's hand and said that he did not want to be without her then the girl said that her friend was not afraid of being freed from her but of ultimately losing all his feelings and affections while saying all this

the heroine also felt sad but still wanted aeria to make decisions for himself clenching his hand into a fist in Anger AES asked why the young lady even thought that way since he didn't want to admit it and in Serena's head images were spinning of how her friend had almost killed her once after she gave him medicine akeria suddenly began to convince his beloved that he would definitely not change even if something suddenly changed the guy was absolutely sure that he loved Serena but she couldn't even answer the question of what love was for this

reason the Duke did not want to free his mind because he liked to experience false feelings for Miss melfor but a saw how important it was for his beloved to at least try so he gently squeezed her hand and agreed however he warned the girl kissing her fingers that he would be very sorry if he suddenly decided that he did not love her immediately after this conversation they teleported to the aceria state and the Miss was still very thoughtful the heroine didn't know how exactly she could handle all her Affairs without her mother finding out

about it so she was worried despite all his objections eyes provided first aid to EOL which the lady was soon informed about by the maid the girl knew that her mother had ordered all the servants to keep a close eye on aia's house so it was better for her to behave quietly so miss was not going to get close even to this quiet and pleasant assistant because she was afraid that she might be a spy as soon as the maid left the heroine immediately fell tiredly onto her bed as she did not have the strength

to even think about anything as a result the girl fell asleep completely unnoticed by herself and opened her eyes only when it got dark outside completely confused Serena sat up in bed because For the first time in her life she didn't even remember how she fell asleep Suddenly at that very moment someone knocked on the door and asked permission to enter which noticeably surprised Miss she carefully opened the door although in fact she had already recognized the night guest by his voice from the very beginning it turned out to be AI who for some reason

came to melfor with a bottle in his hand which had never happened before in his life without any embarrassment the guy offered them to have a drink together and the lady looking at his hand finally agreed having poured wine into glasses the Duke was the first to report that he had been too harsh during their last meeting for which he now felt ashamed after this they suddenly fell silent and drank a glass after which acaria filled it again so as not to sit idle the girl silently moved her glass towards herself since she herself did

not know how to start a conversation with her friend as a result Serena herself did not notice how she became completely distracted by alcohol which caused her to noticeably relax suddenly the young Duke suggested that they play some game together which noticeably surprised the lady smiling slightly AIS announced that the winner would be able to give orders to the loser for an hour in response the heroine also slightly stretched her lips into a smile and suggested playing chess since she was good at it the girl remembered very well that she had once taught her friend

this game and had never lost at it before these times were almost no different from the previous ones as they also ended in less than 10 minutes each but miss could not believe that for some reason she had managed to lose all three games to the young Duke aeria was smiling contentedly as he won absolutely fair and square without using any tricks during the rounds while the countess's daughter herself tried in every way to distract the guy unexpectedly informing him that some figure had fallen the heroine even once deliberately pushed the table claiming that she

had not noticed it causing the entire chessboard to fall but the Duke smiled sweetly at all the lady's tricks and offered to start the whole round over again since this had happened once again and even with the help of all these tricks Miss still essentially lost which surprised her greatly because this had never happened before looking at aeria smiling at her Serena couldn't understand when exactly he managed to improve his skills so much she was able to notice that the guy had thought through all the levels of combinations from the very beginning which is why

he was a head taller than her so no matter how much melfor struggled absolutely all her efforts led to nothing due to the difference in their skills so quickly coming to terms with her defeat the heroine smiled sweetly and asked what she should do for ages the young Duke had never done anything out of bounds before but the look on his face now made misy although they were sitting quite close to each other the guy suddenly asked the girl to come even closer to him she didn't argue and aia's eyes quickly filled with joy and

adoration that everything was happening according to his wishes Sirena was a little confused by her friend's request to kneel down on him but she complied because of her loss noticing the lady's condition the guy decided to press even harder and asked if she could really want anything melfor noticed the Duke's mood so she asked if he would stop if he suddenly asked asked her to do so but AIS really didn't want to pay attention to his beloved's wishes now since he was taking advantage of what he had won while the lady could not object to

him acaria enjoyed the aroma of her body to the fullest since he loved the smell of the M very much the siren flinched when she suddenly felt The Boy's teeth who couldn't resist and ended up gently biting her neck here the Duke paused and asked the countess's daughter what she would choose if she were to make a wish right now but the girl smiled slightly at this and said that the guy could only find out about this if she won when AIA suggested playing again the lady poked him in the head and said he was

going to lose on purpose akeria really had this very prank in mind so he couldn't say anything in response and just smiled but Serena didn't believe the Duke's words at all since she had long ago guessed about his Insidious plan that's why the heroine deliberately changed the subject and started talking to the guy about eagl knowing full well that he would start to get jealous the friend's reaction made the girl laugh as she didn't understand how anyone could be jealous of her towards someone else it was strange for the heroine to realize that right now

in the company of her friend she only wanted to get drunk from alcohol even more as a result the Miss got so drunk that she even wanted to take proper revenge on the young Duke for his bite before ages could understand anything siren threw herself on his neck just like the guy had done to her not long ago with a akeria concluded that the Miss was definitely drunk but the girl herself only denied such accusations unfortunately for the Duke even in this state he liked the countess's daughter very much so he could not resist her

at all here the heroin broke away from the guy and turned her attention to her watch noticing that his time to give orders had already passed the clock hand moved quite unnoticed so that the Duke did not even have time to properly enjoy his position and the lady clung to her friend and and said that she had long needed to go to bed so she did not feel the strength to walk on her own without saying a word AIS carefully picked up the already asleep Miss and very carefully carried her to the bed but no

matter how hard he tried Serena still managed to wake up and even asked the Duke to stay next to her today while they were falling asleep together AES again tenderly whispered that he loved the lady very much but she did not hear him the next morning still thinking about her relationship with the Duke the heroine sent an official letter to her estate she said that she would stay as a guest for some time and Mikel answered her almost immediately asking her to be careful but the lady without thinking at all almost immediately burned all the

warnings from her elder brother in the fireplace while waiting for EOL who was still unconscious to wake up the girl prepared all the ingredients for the medicine suddenly in the midst of her activities the Miss was interrupted by a maid who brought some important letter Serena was very surprised by this event since she did not expect any messages from anyone anytime soon but what amazed the girl most was that the letter had the official seal of the Imperial Palace something she had never seen before melfor her heart pounding with fear began to slowly open the

envelope having no idea what might be inside but it turned out that it was a completely ordinary mailing with a notification about another banquet in honor of the holiday but still couldn't stop worrying because it was from this event that the action in the novel began that same night something else terrible and bloody happened something that Serena couldn't even figure out on her own the fact is that vicount Kalin tried as fast as he could to escape from the man who was killing him but the man was unable to do so quite quickly the Aristocrat

was surrounded by other hired assistants who were ordered to get rid of him when the poor VI count began to ask who had sent them all ages appeared appeared before him and gave the order kin immediately began to beg his master to spare him since he absolutely did not want to die although he had no family but the young Duke's gaze remained just as indifferent and cruel no matter what his subordinate said to him the Aristocrat did not even suspect that he was initially needed only for the slave trade which was now exposed by Kyon

the whole point was that IES was not going to just let go of the fact that someone influential was behind the auction so so aeria despite all his influence could well have been exposed in the end but he didn't want to show his true colors at all so he decided that the easiest way would be to get rid of one of his followers so that no one would know that he was the leader but most of all the guy was angry because it was at the vi Count's auction that his beloved siren almost got hurt

so now aesu wanted to kill Kalin in the most brutal way despite all his past Good Deeds so with literally one swing of his sword the Duke solved this problem for himself and was now confident that no one would expose him the only thing the guy was worried about now was that siren would end up smelling the blood coming from his body the heroine herself at that very moment was thinking that she needed to once again remember the original plot of the novel as carefully as possible the girl remembered very well that on the day

of the next banquet there was to be an attempt on the life of her friend Juliana the culprit turned out to be one of the members of a relig religious group called fous who planned to harm the saint these people were confident that if they brought a good person to their God he would definitely reward them later however no one in secular society knew exactly who this entire group was worshiping which caused a lot of anxiety however what bothered people most was the fact that for some reason only Black magicians had gathered among the fouses

since they were the ones who started the last war the Empire began to pursue them vigorously in order to destroy them all children born with black magic were executed almost immediately and their entire family was persecuted for a long time in order to find more heires in the end the only option left was the existence of Faus who supported all his exiled people only many years later since the dark magicians did nothing wrong their group was finally officially recognized so all the children who were born under the banner of Faus were finally able to live

almost normal lives as Mages according to the plot at that moment during the banquet the plan to kill the saint failed because Juliana was saved by hyron it was after this situation that the girl and the boy fell in love with each other which is what the whole novel was mainly about but no one suspected that the fascist group was not going to stop at their first failures in advancing their plans it came as a surprise to everyone when the group suddenly stopped and only the heroine knew that she was the only one who was

going to suffer here interrupting the girl's train of thought the assistant knocked on the door and politely asked permission to enter the room Sirena just wanted to get distracted so she allowed the servant to interfere with her usual business by letting the maid inside hearing from her that eal had finally woken up the lady was delighted and immediately wished to visit him as soon as possible but the girl couldn't help but be nervous before this meeting which was immediately reflected on her confused face for some reason when she opened the doors the elf was sitting

hunched over on the bed as if he was suffering greatly from something incomprehensible to the others only when he heard barely audible female footsteps did he slowly turn around as he wanted to talk to his ally even though the guy didn't look very well he was at least able to come to his senses which meant that he would recover soon melfor looked at his Stern gaze and was glad that she was still using her Transformation Magic on more than just him since the silence between them dragged on Miss was the first to ask if the

elf was comfortable in this place to which he nodded but right after that he clenched his eyes in anger and reminded her that the girl had promised to save him but had almost destroyed him the heroine immediately felt shame and guilt after these words of her Ally since she herself understood that he was partly right the elf added that he believed the girl's words so he waited for her but she never came so he had to save himself clenching his his fist tightly the chieftain's son admitted that he regretted trusting the man again even if

everything was fine with him now because of everything he had experienced EOL was now in a state of very mixed feelings and had a hard time understanding what exactly was happening to him the heroine guessed about the torment that the guy was experiencing so she tried not to say anything to him now the elf suddenly whispered quietly that he really wanted to live although many times during his captivity he began to think about dying for the sake of Freedom unexpectedly smiling sweetly the chieftain's son sincerely thanked Serena for helping him although she was not obliged

to although it was unnoticeable to the lady eul's long extinguished eyes suddenly began to shine and Sparkle green again melfor couldn't even imagine that the elf would forgive her so quickly so she nodded at him in confusion without saying anything else however the chieftain's son did not end the conversation there since he still had a very worrying question for the girl upon Awakening the elf managed to see his current reflection in complete Solitude which caused him to become quietly Furious what angered the guy most at that moment was that for some reason he looked like

an ordinary person although he was another creature even after several hours had passed since this conversation Miss was still thoughtful and silent because of her experiences at the same time the assistant reported that the gentleman was late which which only made Serena even sadder however the lady calmly noted that AES must have a lot to do so she understood everything perfectly well the countess's daughter immediately saw the angry face of the elf with whom she had explained herself a few hours ago although melfor explained to EOL in detail and honestly why she changed her appearance

and his he clearly did not like it so now the Miss was sighing sadly which did not escape the eyes of the attentive maid although she did not understand the reason in order to somehow amuse the young lady the assistant began to talk to her when suddenly she noticed the return of the Duke and indeed from the balcony one could see the Scarlet Carriage of aeria who arrived at his estate quite late although Serena was extremely embarrassed she still allowed herself to behave like a Hostess and asked the servants to call AG's to her the

girl knew that every assistant in the estate respected her greatly and was ready to carry out absolutely any order of the miss this is all because aeria himself personally ordered the servants to obey siren in everything keeping her safe as a result the heroine now had almost nothing to do herself which is why she was often bored and constantly yawned then the girl remembered that tomorrow she needed to go shopping and pick out clothes for the upcoming banquet at the same time melfor also thought hard about what color suit would suit AI who rarely dressed

up imagine the lady's surprise when the guy unexpectedly came to her with a wet head as he was told about her words in the shower even aeria towel was slightly wet although he had not had time to dry himself completely as he was in a great hurry to get to the miss hearing that Serena wanted to help him dry off on her own the Duke became noticeably embarrassed and even blushed however he did not resist because he really wanted to receive such help from his beloved obediently sitting down on the chair so that the lady

could wipe his head the asked why she had called him at all rubbing her friend's hair with gentle movements the lady admitted that she would simply like to have dinner with him today after which she asked what the Duke had been doing today but he could not admit that he had just dealt with the vicount the heroine immediately realized that her friend was clearly hiding something from her but she didn't try to find out since he continued to remain silent instead siren focused on her task of helping the boy during which she completely dried out

his head suddenly the Miss looked at aia's clothes and noticed that they were also all wet which could even make the Duke sick without thinking twice the countess's daughter reached into her closet since she had clothes there that might suit her friend ages didn't think that his beloved would suddenly throw him some other clothes because he didn't expect such care from her however the guy did not argue with the girl and changed his clothes because he really was starting to feel a little cold in his wet shirt here Serena remembered that she hadn't even told

the Duke about ault's Awakening so she mentioned it the girl directly said that as soon as the elf's body was restored he would immediately begin preparing the medicine when the lady said that the guy would take the Elixir AIS suddenly became gloomy and fell silent the heroine even suggested that the Duke could have been shocked by her words just as he had been in her mother's hallucination room suddenly after a few minutes acaria finally began to move and still silently he rose to his feet while Serena stood there confused AIS walked up to her and

put his hands on her shoulders as he had something to say seeing the guy's clouded gaze the girl became scared because he had almost killed her with exactly the same expression however the lady tried to remain calm since she did not know exactly what the condition of the young Duke was while the young man gently touched her hair in face Serena held her breath and tried not to move at all but aeria slowly lowered his hand to the Miss's neck and embraced her although he did not make any effort at all this time the heroine

laughed at herself in her mind because she initially expected that nothing would change but she turned out to be wrong so before AIS could do any harm to her Miss gathered her strength and hit her friend hard on the head the siren blow was enough to make aeria fall asleep for a while and not think about anything for now the Miss herself thought hard about what had just happened because the medicine Taken 2 years ago could not have produced such an effect the only thing melfor was sure of was that when he woke up the

Duke would again remember absolutely nothing right now AIS looked like a pretty harmless guy but the lady knew how strong he was inside no matter how scared Miss was this time she was not going to run away because more than anything in the world she wanted to help aeria for this reason despite the late hour the girl went to ecult to talk once again about preparing the elixir the elf was noticeably surprised by such a night visit from his Ally and even noted that siren did not look very healthy suddenly the countess's daughter asked AEL

to start preparing the medicine right now as the situation had become much more complicated the girl herself understood that her request was too insistent and selfish so she was worried about being refused imagine the Miss surprise when the elf suddenly and completely calmly agreed to her request although he had not fully recovered the countess's daughter did not expect eal to help her so easily so she felt a sharp Pang of guilt because of her demandingness but the chieftain's son believed that the Miss shouldn't feel awkward at all and he immediately told her so the guy

explained that it was useless for the girl to pretend that her conscience had awakened since they had agreed on everything in advance looking away with concern the heroine wondered what she looked like in the eyes of the elf who was helping her and AEL himself seriously reminded the miss that they had made a deal and he would definitely fulfill all its conditions smiling sincerely the elf explained that he simply wanted to get home as soon as possible so he was ready to help then siren began to tell everything about the man who needed treatment and

who was the owner of this estate right now AIS was sleeping the most peaceful of all possible sleeps as he was skillfully knocked out by the heroin herself the girl even had to admit that akaria had been exposed to amalon for a long time due to her mother's influence hearing this the elf opened his eyes wide in complete shock because he knew how destructive this remedy was to people Sirena immediately noticed how scared the chieftain's son was and concluded that he definitely knew something about this drug Ault with noticeable excitement asked to tell a little

more about how exactly the guy had been influenced all this time the countess's daughter didn't know much but she was sure that her mother used candles containing aen imagine the elf surprise when he heard that the effect on AES lasted for approximately 6 years the guy asked the girl to think again because he was sure that no person could endure such a period of time but the heroine knew for sure that everything was exactly like this because she read the novel and personally observed this influence a kelt was reluctant to believe in anything like that

until the very end although he had no other choice due to the lack of information Miss noticed how confused the guy looked while she had not yet finished her story about aeria the elf only became more serious when Serena added that all this time her mother had been trying to brainwash aju with the help of amalan after everything the lady had told him the boy needed to think carefully about what medicine to prepare for the Duke what ult didn't understand most was why it was necessary to subject aeria to all these terrible means the countess's

daughter understood perfectly well that one day she would have to tell the truth but it turned out to be more difficult than she thought so having properly collected her thoughts the girl sat down next to her Ally and told him everything from the very beginning as a result Serena's difficult and scary story took up almost the entire night but neither of them could fall asleep because of what was happening no matter how much ecult was shocked he was still able to believe the words of the lady who had no reason to lie to him now

the heroine herself could not stop being nervous which is why she constantly squeezed her knees tightly with her hands in the end the girl couldn't stand it any longer and lowered her head since she couldn't add anything else no matter how much she wanted to no matter how much the lady searched for some reason all the methods she found did not help the young Duke at all so miss concluded that the amelon had been very tightly absorbed into ais's body and she did not understand what to do with it the chieftain's son sincerely felt sorry

for the girl who was essentially innocent of anything although she felt remorse he even dared to touch Serena's face just to console his ally a little who had found herself in such a difficult situation after which the elf confidently promised the girl that he would help her deal with any problems she had seeing eols calm and focused face the heroine suddenly remembered her older brother who also consoled her in the end siren couldn't hold back and even started giggling which greatly surprised the elf who was still worried about her quickly changing the subject the chieftain's

son asked the Miss to try to get the incense that was used on a Kia the Miss agreed to this and asked her friend about the medicinal herbs that she had given to the young Duke to drink 2 years ago the elf immediately recognized the name of the plant and reported that it was two week so its effect lasted only 10 minutes the heroine only now realized that AIS did not kill her that day only because the effect of the temporary medicine had worn off here ult added that in rare cases this plant could very

well cause side effects in a particular person he said that if the subject had an individual intolerance to the herb then his hallucinations only intensified melfor immediately asked with concern whether these side effects might only appear after some time and she breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that the herb was only able to act for the first few minutes after taking it having carefully examined the gloomy elf the girl guessed that even for him this matter was too complicated and confusing so she smiled kindly at her Ally and thanked him for not refusing

to listen to her and help on the way to her room the lady couldn't help but wonder why AES was acting so strangely if nothing had any effect on him unexpectedly for herself the Mist discovered that out of habit she had come straight to the Duke's room so she quickly turned back but the doors to aia's room suddenly began to open although the girl was not ready to talk to him now she clenched her fists tightly and ordered herself not to look back under any circumstances so as not to give away her own emotions but

the guy did not give the countess's daughter such an opportunity as he called out to her and asked where she was heading to prevent Serena from going anywhere the Duke deafly grabbed her hand and quickly stopped her as he wanted to talk although this scared the heroine she tried to return a soft smile to her face so that her friend would not suspect anything after which in a confident tone Miss asked AIS to let her go and warned that she would not repeat anything twice as the lady expected the guy immediately asked what he had

done wrong since he remembered absolutely nothing after the dream but Serena couldn't admit to aeria that he had once again almost killed her because his influence had weakened as sad as this made the lady feel she knew she shouldn't tell AIS the truth right now because he would get scared but understanding what was happening did not help at all to cope with the pain and fear which is why the heroine did not want to to be near the Duke so she slowly but surely began to take her hand away from his because she wanted to

get back to her room as quickly as possible to this AES said with sadness on his face and in his voice that the girl was too cruel to decide to leave him alone but the countess's daughter could not react normally to the guy's words since she was still too afraid of him so all the Duke could do was watch the front doors as they quietly closed behind the stubborn siren imagine the lady's surprise when as soon as she laid her head on the pillow the maid immediately began to wake her up it turned out that

Miss herself did not notice how she fell asleep and accidentally due to her excessive fatigue slept until lunchtime the assistant immediately noticed that the young lady was not in the best condition so she gently asked if she had been crying this greatly surprised melfor who although she had been very worried lately was not at all about crying so the girl reassured the maid that she was okay although she didn't really believe her words the assistant admitted with excitement that for some reason this morning both the lady and the gentleman looked somehow sad she said that

when AAS woke up he immediately headed to the training ground in a gloomy mood as a result the knights who were there could barely stand on their feet after a few hours due to the harsh training although this surprised the heroine she was not going to change her plans so she asked the maid Lita to prepare a cart for her the lady herself got got ready rather quickly and was on her way within a few dozen minutes although she still felt sad in fact Serena wanted to make this journey with AIS but circumstances turned out

somewhat differently therefore all that was left for the lady was to independently choose her outfits for the upcoming banquet in order to look good the first thing the girl did was go to blanche's clothing boutique since she only trusted its owners more or less the dark-haired lady who met the Aristocrat at the entrance immediately know noticed that she had not been here for quite some time the heroine knew this girl well and she had no desire to communicate with her although there were no other options Miss sbia smiled falsely for she really did not like

the daughter of the melfor family at all to end this unpleasant conversation as quickly as possible Serena turned to one of the assistants saying that she wanted a dress even though the lady had not booked her fitting she was confident that she would be accepted due to the high status of the family the hottie Madame blanch was popular among Aristocrats because her dresses were always wonderful so usually an appointment with her was booked up a month in advance which the maid was about to inform her about but Serena had a strong trump card for this

case so she handed the girl her special golden pass the assistant was clearly surprised when she saw an object of such status so she immediately promised to bring her mistress from the novel The heroine knew that only a few people were given a status higher than everyone else and she was its owner it was for this reason that Madame blanch herself who usually never met clients soon came out to see her barely containing her Joy Serena said goodbye to Sania as she had absolutely no desire to have any contact with her but as soon as

the lady found herself at a private reception she immediately became more serious because she did not know which dress to choose then the lady took over the entire conversation and offered the confused client a red dress that she had recently created melfor was once again surprised by how easily and simply the owner of the rich store understood her guests at that moment the woman was brought the very dress and she asked the Miss's opinion since she was showing it for the first time Serena genuinely liked the outfit that Madame offered her as it was the

first time she had seen such a beautiful dress smiling contentedly at the Miss's reaction the woman suggested that she also pay attention to other attractive images is she smiled slightly and said that the selection of dresses in her store was quite large so one could look for a long time however Madam insisted on the First dress offered to miss as she thought it was the best after listening carefully to blanch Serena noded briefly in response and said that she would take absolutely all the dresses shown to her having finished her fitting the girl asked to

send everything she had bought to her mother's estate since there was room there Madame said goodbye to melfor somewhat bewildered as she was greatly surprised by the amount of clothing her guest had purchased at this moment the heroine had already gone down and approached the maid who was waiting for her mistress with great patience the assistant happily said that she hadn't waited that long and started asking about dresses but this didn't make Serena happy then Lita suggested returning back to the estate so that the countess's daughter could rest after this long trip but the heroine

immediately remembered AJ's which made her afraid to go to his estate where she was currently temporarily living then the girl suddenly heard the ringing of a bell which surprised her and distracted her from her heavy thoughts forcing her to turn around she immediately felt with some sixth sense that this Tower was calling her although there was no noticeable reason for this for this reason the Miss sent the maid to return first saying that she needed to go somewhere personally moreover the girl even asked her own KN to accompany her assistant since she wanted to walk

alone but the guy had other orders so he started to resist but siren was adamant even Lita tried to explain to the lady that it was too dangerous for her to travel around the city alone but with a menacing glare melfor declared that she would not repeat it twice so they did not dare contradict her anymore the maid was so frightened that she shrank her entire body putting her hands to her chest in excitement but none of this bothered the heroine anymore more as she ran as fast as she could towards that very Tower with

the Bell the view from the window at this place showed almost nothing since apart from the roofs of the neighboring houses everything else was too difficult to see for this reason the girl herself did not understand why she came to this Tower at all although for some reason she really needed it at least for a while the lady wanted to hide from all the people around her and just listened to the loud beating of the Bell more than anything in the world Miss was would like to remain completely alone in this place forever but so

far there was no such opportunity she closed her eyes and decided to enjoy at least those moments of Silence that she now had at all quite by chance Serena herself did not notice how she fell asleep in this mysterious place for herself and opened her eyes only in the evening imagine the surprise of the miss when she saw the Duke next to her who asked what the lady was doing there in response melfor asked how her friend knew that she was heading to this place since she had not told anyone the guy explained with a

slight smile that he saw siren looking at this Tower so he immediately thought of her the heroine could not believe that the young Duke was so observant towards her and AES himself taking advantage of the situation lightly hugged his beloved since he was going to help her get up from the floor akeria then placed the girl on his lap explaining that he did not want her to freeze although siren didn't want to be cruel to her friend the fear inside her was still too strong so there were no good words the Duke noticed that the

lady was still somehow too cold towards him which only made him more upset the guy admitted that he wanted to give Miss time to rest but he quickly got bored without her presence nearby the fact that he was forced to sit and do nothing only made the Duke want to be near Serena even more and therefore he became gloomy the heroine was shocked by the fact that no matter how much she pushed AES away he still stubbornly return to her every time in response aoria said that when it came to siren he had neither Pride

nor principles noticing that the girl had once again turned away from him the Duke asked what he should do to make her believe his words with excitement in his voice AIS asked melfor to tell him what exactly he had done wrong since she was avoiding him in the end the lady could not stand it and gently touched her friend's sad face realizing that she could not help him in any way Serena explained that if she told her friend about her experiences the relationship between them would only get worse suddenly akeria declared that he would kill

the elf currently living in his estate as he saw no reason to keep him alive the Duke was greatly irritated by the fact that his beloved was much closer to that handsome blonde than to himself in response the Miss asked whether the guy really wanted to continue his life under control since only ult could make the medicine hugging the girl tightly ages declared that he was completely satisfied with everything because the lady would be next to him and he would love her feeling her throat tighten with excitement the Miss realized that she simply had to

tell the Duke about his memory lapses so the girl suddenly grabbed aeria by the shoulders so that he would listen carefully to everything that she was now going to tell him honestly having thrown the guy onto the cool floor the lady plaintively asked if he really did not remember anything at all about what happened in response the young man looked at his beloved with wide open eyes in alarm because he did not understand what was happening to her now seeing that the Duke did not understand anything Serena stood up and said that their relationship would

end when she freed her friend since it was extremely difficult for her to speak such a terrible truth the lady looked away from the guy and bowed her head down as soon as she confessed that AIS had tried to kill her twice the Duke recoiled in fear and whispered that he could not have done such a thing melfor guessed that akeria didn't believe it so she approached and informed him that she had no intention of convincing him of anything like that in the end the Duke could not stand such pressure and cried bitterly convincing the

girl that he really loved her very much the lady's throat was constricted by sobs that were also trying to break out because she was just as sad now as her friend it was only after a few seconds that AIS noticed this so he carefully and timidly began to reach his hand towards Miss face afraid that she would move away however Serena was so overwhelmed by her emotions that she needed comfort and clung to her friend's arm hugging the countess's crying daughter the guy seriously asked her to kill him if he did anything like that again

the heroine shuddered slightly at these words as she guessed that A's had finally believed her story but at that moment melfor was so tired that she simply pressed her whole body against the Duke and said that she had no strength no matter how sad a Kia was at that moment for the sake of his beloved he tried to pull himself together and be more courageous having closed her eyes Miss fell asleep quite quickly and saw a dream in which for some reason the long Corridor never seemed to end and it was in this endless and

cold space that the small siren confused by what was happening was located she didn't know exactly how she got to this place and it didn't really matter because everything that was happening was actually a dream Dre the girl was only worried that her new acquaintance whom her mother had brainwashed had left a nasty wound on her hand at that time the countess's daughter was very afraid of AZ since he had not yet been fully influenced and did not obey anyone however for some reason the boy constantly followed siren although he did not try to contact

her in any way and only accidentally harmed her the memory of such an acoria who did not love her made the heroine shudder but she could not yet wake up and open her eyes during all their first meetings the Duke's little son was incredibly angry with Serena although she was not to blame for anything at one of these moments akarah plucked up his courage and ran up to the lady painfully hitting her right in the solar plexus when the boy was captured he shouted that he wanted to choose for himself who he should love since

he didn't like the girl the maids quickly surrounded the heroine and asked if everything was okay with her as they were worried about the well-being of the young mistress but at that moment Miss had already gotten used to the fact that AIS often showed aggression towards her since he did not want to fall in love back then Serena often felt lonely despite having brothers so she did not resist aia's attacks but the lady could not even imagine that this Lively and nasty boy would one day begin to have feelings for her waking up the next

morning the countess's daughter almost burst into tears because of the memories of her difficult past that came flooding back to her even though Miss was currently feeling unwell due to what she had just experienced she still couldn't allow herself to relax so the heroine got ready pretty quickly and her eyes blazed with a bright fire of determination because there were important things to do the girl asked her older brother to find out their mother's schedule in advance as she wanted to get to the estate without her and today was the very day when the Countess

planned to leave for a long time which her daughter decided to take advant of eal guessed the lady's plan as soon as he looked at her serious face but he did not stop the Miss because he needed candles the heroin planned to get at least one candle containing aalon by any means possible so that the elf could make a medicine based on it although melfor pretended to her Ally that she was not worried at all her heart began to beat wildly in the carriage on the way home the lady could not calm down and convince

herself that she would succeed because Mikel himself was on her side Miss still had before her eyes the images from the Night's Dream in which she and AIS were complete strangers to each other at that time for the girl the heir of the aceria family was just a child who offended her but was nothing special himself that's why Serena was always scared at first when she heard ais's Voice who was looking for her again for some purpose however quickly instead of an evil Grimace the boy began to show the girl a sweet smile as the

influence worked on him but wasn't ready for such a quick change so she asked AES not to approach her what siren didn't like most was aia's eyes which had become empty and lifeless even though he was smiling however the boy began to declare that he had simply been very wrong before because he could not hate his mistress's daughter although AES himself believed in his words the heroine felt that they contained a pre-prepared text that the Countess had put into his head so until the very end the the girl did not want to communicate with her

friend who so diligently followed her everywhere wanting to make friends most of the time the lady still managed to remain alone which she was only glad about because it was easier that way suddenly during one of these walks Serena noticed a maid in front of her who was clearly heading specifically towards her the assistant bowed politely to the young lady as she did not want to accidentally anger her but she had a question upon hearing that she needed to find young akeria the heroine immediately guessed that her mother was looking for him for another brainwashing

but little Miss wasn't going to give the boy to his mother so easily so she said she had no idea she knew perfectly well that the child would be found without her help so she had no intention of becoming an accomplice to such horror a few hours later when the lady locked herself in her room someone unexpectedly knocked on the door despite the late hour opening the door slightly since she did not wait for an answer answer the girl saw the exhausted and empty eyes of the boy who wanted to come to her horrified Serena

immediately tried to close the door back but even tired akarah was stronger than her easily holding the door a jar ages with tears in his eyes asked the countess's daughter to let him in but the lady said that his presence there was wrong despite the fact that the boy spoke of his suffering realizing that Miss would not let him in on her own akeria could not stand it and abruptly open open the door after which he burst into the room before Serena could do anything the child hugged her tightly and whispered that he had missed

her very much all this time but the heroine herself still felt only fear towards him so she pushed the obsessive boy away from herself as quickly as possible seeing him obediently fall to the floor as if he had no personality at all the lady guessed that the brainwashing had been successful with the eyes of a limp doll AES suddenly smiled and said that he loved Arena so much that he would rather die than leave her now he managed to grab the lady by the hand and was not going to let go because at that moment

she was the whole world for him but the countess's daughter herself was unpleasantly affected by all these confessions and touches so she could not stand it and screamed loudly however no matter what the Miss said the incense clouded eia's head so much that he understood almost nothing this only made the heroine more afraid each time because she did not want such a terrible fate for the heir to the duche unable to Bear it any longer the girl rushed forward along the corridor but she got tired too quickly and therefore stopped in place at that very

moment the excited A's caught up with his beloved who only became more frightened by what was happening the boy himself pitifully extended his hand towards the countess's daughter and sadly asked why and for what purpose she had cruy avoided him not noticing anything around her the lady backed away in horror from these touches when suddenly she accidentally stepped onto the stairs and a fall from such a height would definitely not have passed Without a Trace for anyone as it would have caused internal bleeding the tragedy that no one expected ended up happening in an instant

just because of this small oversight just to avoid meeting the boy the lady instinctively pushed him down only later realizing what she had done when Miss ran down the steps after him she saw a pool of blood on the the floor and thought that acaria had been killed even now when she recalled that situation Miss would shudder internally every time because of the strong emotions from that moment the girl's eyes immediately filled with tears because although she was afraid of AIS then she did not at all wish him death to hide from outside questions because

she felt ashamed Serena began to spend all her days in her mother's Gallery Miss knew that no one would look for her in this place since she terribly disliked the paintings that the Countess collected if she studied them carefully and for a long time the girl's mood would start to deteriorate for a long time no matter what she did and then on one of those days the entrance door to the gallery creaked quietly as someone decided to open it without even turning around the lady immediately guessed who exactly had come to see her since she

remembered this manner of opening the door so AG's had come to her more than once and this time everything was EXA exactly the same except that there was a bandage on his head at the sight of him Serena immediately wanted to cry again out of regret but she was able to find the strength in herself to ask for forgiveness imagine the girl's surprise when aeria suddenly announced that he was even glad because he had suffered at the hands of his beloved a dark sticky and unpleasant feeling immediately enveloped her and the girl did not know

how to cope with these emotions after which he suddenly added that since he was experiencing pain the girl would no longer dare to cruy push him away as a result the heroine only felt more disgust mixed with guilt from which she could not Escape but soon after this incident everything returned to normal and the lady had to watch how AIS did not want to go to the Countess every time at such moments when he saw siren the boy would cry out pitifully for her to help him and take him with her but the countess's daughter

only turned away silently experiencing mental pain since she could not help this child in any way the girl understood that at the moment she could only take care of herself but she was saving up her strength for the future in advance noticing that the Miss was simply leaving akeria could not resist and extended his hand towards her which he had previously charged with magic the last thing the heroine heard was a request not to leave him when suddenly there was a huge flash behind her the assistants immediately shouted for the young lady to dodge as

shards of glass glass accidentally flew in her Direction the elder brother was the first to notice that his sister was in great danger but he was unable to do anything to help her but the lady herself did not have such a quick reaction so she slowly turned back in complete bewilderment imagine Miss surprise when she saw that AIS was surrounded by a huge amount of rebellious energy while Serena watched this with her mouth open her mother ran into the Hall just in time and said that there was no danger the woman confidently began to approach

the child explaining to everyone that the boy's strength was growing every day so everything was fine without wasting any time Madame with a light and quick movement created her favorite and best sword with the help of Magic the heroin watched her mother with horror at that moment since she had a hard time understanding what she was going to do and the woman herself without any doubt unexpectedly pierced TOA through and through with her sword as if it were not fatal after which smiling slightly the Countess called her daughter in a gentle voice although she saw

her condition at that time Miss did not yet dare to contradict her mother so she obediently came up and began to make a sword as she ordered although not the first time the girl still quickly managed to create a magic blade which she even liked but Serena didn't expect at all that the Madam would suddenly order her to pierce little ais's chest next she explained that at the moment when aeria was overwhelmed with power there was no other way to stop him but the girl immediately said that she couldn't do this to which the woman

had a completely different opinion she ordered her daughter to stop making excuses and focus her magic on the blade and the lady still obeyed seeing how much her friend was suffering now the heroine wondered if he would definitely not die in the end because of her actions but rather quickly the Miss realized that she had no other choice so she nevertheless raised the magic sword over her head then The Coachman informed Serena that she had arrived and the girl opened her eyes discovering that she had been sleeping all this time she arrived at her mother's

estate which she had long since ceased to consider her home although it was where she was born but the heroine remembered that it was at that very moment when she pierced AIS with a sword that she decided to do everything to free him and the dream she had in the carriage only increased the lady's determination to continue striving for victory over her mother already at the very entrance Mikel was impatiently waiting for his sister since he promised to help her in such a difficult matter but instead of being happy about Serena's arrival the guy was

incredibly angry at her for not keeping the agreement but miss herself did not feel any remorse at all for having so brazenly used her brother by not coming to her mother as a result the Elder melfor seeing his sister's indifference quickly began to shout because he wanted to to know the truth but right now miss couldn't tell him anything so she just asked her brother to stand guard while she went for a walk this request left Mikael even more perplexed as he realized that Serena had not come for no reason Miss could only say that

she was going to the hall of hallucinations which worried her older brother even more he tried to stop the lady to which she asked Mikael to cover her and gently placed her hand on her brother's hand the girl smiled and promised to write to the melfor even more often if he did help her to begin with Serena created the appearance that she had come home because of the dresses that were supposed to be sent here she planned to go down to dinner as if nothing had happened immediately after she could get hold of the amelan

candle and the lady was going to return to the aceria estate tomorrow morning so she had absolutely no time to rest Miss acted very cleverly for she called away all the servants asking them to take care of her new clothes from madame blanches shop only after all this terribly worried about her secret activities did the girl go down to her mother's basement down below she was immediately greeted by a bitter cold which was unpleasant but melfor was not going to retreat because of this she tried to calm down and began to carefully examine the entire

room in search of candles since they should be here but no matter how much the lady looked around her attention was ultimately drawn only to the strangely lying swords taking a closer look at one of them Serena was alarmed to discover blood on it which greatly surprised the girl the heroin remembered that only ages had entered this room but she was sure that he had not come to the estate for a long time eventually the lady realized that such thoughts would lead nowhere so she had better go back to looking for candles but even after

another couple of dozen minutes although the Mist searched through all the chests and shelves she found nothing this situation visibly upset Serena as she was worried that her time might be severely limited suddenly to her great horror the girl heard mikel's voice calling the Countess and her eyes widened the most unpleasant thing for the younger melfor was that her brother was gradually approaching this place together with his mother she knew she had to run or at least hide but she couldn't think of anything suitable because she was so panicked the lady looked at the door

with alarm for she knew that as soon as it opened her mother would certainly catch her so miss began to slowly back away panicking because she had no idea how to escape at this moment Mikel shouted loudly that he urgently needed to tell the Countess upstairs something shaking with fear the girl cowered in the farthest corner but continued to listen attentively to her relatives conversations it was only after a few minutes that the lady opened her eyes with excitement as she noticed that everything around had become very quiet she was so nervous that her whole

body became weak causing the girl to lean against the wall as she began to rise to her feet and at exactly that moment some secret mechanism in the wall started moving and revealed a hidden compartment in front of Miss the heroine froze in complete amazement when she suddenly saw the candles with a meleon that she needed the girl realized that she had no time to think at all so she quickly took one of the candles and hid it in her place to prevent her mother from noticing anything missing Serena prepared a fake candle so now

all she had to do was get out imagine the lady's surprise when the countess's extremely displeased Voice Was Heard right behind her the younger melfor realized that she was caught red-handed and fear gripped her body from head to toe at that moment the heroine did not have the strength to think about absolutely anything because horror had consumed all her thoughts the woman slowly approached her daughter from behind and whispered that it was too dark in this room for conversation after which she smiled slightly and lit one of the candles saying that it would become much

brighter and more comfortable for them when her eyes got used to The Brighter light the girl cautiously looked around in search of her brother and almost immediately Miss found him lying near the door since the Countess had cruy and indifferently knocked out her own son only now did Serena realize that her mother had begun to understand something so she only pretended to leave the estate and at that moment Madame herself pounced on her daughter with questions and admitted that she had accidentally read her letter to Mikael the heroine nervously clenched her fists because she immediately

realized that the Countess had clearly been watching her for quite a long time with one finger lifting the face of her disobedient daughter The Madam said with displeasure that she did not like her behavior siren immediately fell to her knees and began to ask for forgiveness because this was the only way to get out of here since the mother had lit the candle with amalan the lady's Consciousness gradually became darker and darker and she could not think clenching her fists on her knees the girl realized that if her excuse for stealing was unconvincing her mother

would punish her so with tears in her eyes Miss said that she was blinded by greed and wanted to influence one person the Countess narrowed her eyes suspiciously and reminded him that Serena already had ajs so there was no need to look for anyone else then in order to arouse as little suspicion as possible the girl stated that she wanted to influence Kyon eight as soon as this name escaped the Miss's lips she immediately closed her eyes in fear since she herself did not expect such a confession but it was too late to retreat so

the lady clenching her teeth said that she had done her act impulsively the girl was so uncomfortable with the scent of candles in the air that she could barely utter even something like that although she knew how to lie hearing this the mother knelt down next to her daughter and concluded that she had been overprotective of her all this time she stroked her daughter daughter's hair tenderly but there was nothing kind or good in these movements rising to her feet Madame said that she would only let the lady out of the room when she proved

that she had repented but the heroine didn't believe it at all and was afraid that the Countess would never let her leave here again with each passing second it became more and more difficult for the girl to breathe and she could not fix this situation before she finally lost Consciousness Serena managed to notice that a maid approached the Countess and said something immediately after this the doors to the basement room closed but the lady caught the phrase about aceria who had arrived at this estate the younger melfor could not believe that AIS had come to

this place which he hated most for some purpose but the lady could not think further as the influence of the candle interfered with her so she fell exhausted onto the cold floor at that moment the Miss experienced severe pain as if her entire body was being pierced by huge needles which only accelerated the loss of consciousness only after some time the girl opened her eyes and was surprised to discover that she was covered and that someone was sitting next to her the siren realized with horror that the young Duke was now in the room with

her and he was also feeling ill nevertheless he carefully held his beloved in his arms who began to look around anxiously the heroin had no idea why they were both in the dungeon or why aeria had come to her here at all the influence of the candles was still acting on the lady's mind so she understood too little what was happening around her agis hugged Miss titer and asked her to move less as she must be in a lot of pain now after which the guy excitedly asked the girl to try to sleep a little

more even though his breathing was very difficult the siren saw that aeria himself was also feeling bad because sweat was constantly pouring from his face and his heart was beating so hard that she could hear it to her surprise the heroin closed her eyes because the sound of the heartbeat calmed her and her soul became much lighter when the Miss woke up the next time for some reason the young Duke was nowhere to be seen although before that he had remained nearby the countess's daughter began to look around anxiously in search of her friend since

she did not know what she should expect at all suddenly the girl saw the guy outside the bars which shocked her even more because they couldn't get out on their own with empty eyes akeria whispered that he loved Serena incredibly although his face did not change at all in his hands he held a sword that was charged with magic which made it only stronger and sharper and this frightened the heroine then the Duke swung his sword hitting someone behind the wall and someone's blood began to spread in front of the stunned siren looking forward Miss

again saw in front of her a little boy with a wounded head who was asking why she didn't love him all this had such a strong impact on the girl that she involuntarily began to choke due to the horror she had experienced waking up from this realistic nightmare the lady's eyes opened so wide that they almost dried out looking around Serena discovered that she was still in the arms of the young Duke who was looking at her with excitement in a panic the lady pushed away her friend who was trying to help because the memories

from the dream were too fresh and Vivid the guy asked her anxiously if she had seen a hallucination but the heroine was sure that everything that had happened was true Aus explained that the lady had simply imagined it all and that she had felt the pain due to the influence of the candle with amalan completely confused Serena asked whether the young Duke she had seen had also been a hallucination to this the guy calmly said that he was the real deal as he had come to the melfor estate to pick up his beloved looking at

the candle Miss guessed that this was an excellent place to destroy the personality of someone even AIS who had succumbed to the influence of the amelon many times felt himself getting worse with each passing moment for this reason the girl was worried about how long her friend would be able to control himself just for her the heroine was very scared so she did not want to fall asleep but her body did not obey her at all at that moment when the countess's daughter next opened her eyes she found that she was already riding to the

aceria estate with the Duke after everything she had experienced Miss felt a little seasick but it was better than being locked up with her mother any longer but the M did didn't last long after which she became very ill which AES noticed and demanded that the carriage be stopped it was only when Serena's breathing had returned to normal and she had stopped feeling nauseous that she was able to breathe a sigh of real relief after making sure that the Miss was okay akeria crossed his arms over his chest and began to interrogate her with displeasure

about such an act but the heroin first wanted to know why the guy followed her and how he ended up in the countess's dungeon however the Duke was not going to give in to the girl this time since he was going to first deal with her behavior as a result Serena got a little offended and said that her friend was a real rude guy but it didn't bother him then the countess's daughter gave in and carefully took out the candle hidden in a secret pocket of her dress for which she had made such a difficult

Journey she showed the guy the very same candle with a meleon that her mother had once created for brainwashing sighing with displeasure AIS guessed that his beloved had simply been caught stealing which was why she had ended up being locked up for a while after which a little angry AIA asked if the girl really believed that she could make the medicine but Serena said that she would deal with her problems on her own if she could free her friend from the influence suddenly the guy leaned forward and asked with excitement in his voice if the

lady had somehow finally managed to love him hearing this the heroine sincerely thought for a while since she had never considered such an OP option before in the end the lady smiled somewhat sadly since she believed that she was simply incapable of emotions towards the young Duke no matter how handsome smart and strong the guy was the girl knew that all his emotions and feelings for her were fake so shaking her head negatively Miss confidently declared that she could never fall in love with AES no matter how much he wanted to aeria immediately looked away

with sadness but still asked sadly why the Miss was then behaving so recklessly ly Serena was a little surprised by the guy's precise questions so she looked at him more closely since he was partly right more than anything in the world the countess's daughter wanted to free her friend from influence so that he could independently choose whom he loved but the girl was afraid that AES could eventually become a real Beast who would become Meed in hatred for the melfor family Serena guessed that the Countess also understood this perfectly well so she would try to

kill aeria if he did not obey but if he is freed the Duke will no longer tolerate anything and will begin to actively defend himself from attacks not wanting to think about this topic any longer the girl suggested that her friend talk about something more pleasant she was sure that for now the guy belonged to her which she told him quite calmly and even a little brazenly after which Serena asked why he had come to her and AES immediately remembered his State when he heard about the lady's departure what worried the Duke most at that

moment was that the Miss had not even warned him about her trip to her mother the words of the countess's daughter that he tried to kill her did not leave aia's head so the boy tried to remember it however AES had no memories of that terrible moment which is why he mercilessly punched the walls wanting to keep the girl at all costs the Duke also came to the estate and soon met the Countess she gave him a cold look and told him that siren was in the hallucination room right now akeria knew better than anyone

in the world how difficult it was for a person to be in this terrible place especially for the first time so he turned around abruptly and demanded that the woman stopped torturing her daughter and let her out of that room he understood perfectly well how painful the girl felt now whose body seemed to be completely Bound in Chains in response the lady smiled slightly and said that if the guy also entered the room she would shorten the time of their punishment as a result AES was able to withstand the influence of the amelon and after

a few hours he carried his beloved away to his Carriage he carefully lowered the girl who was unconscious and thought about what had pushed her to such Reckless actions but the heroine herself could not answer the question of whether acaria loved so she simply fell asleep due to incredible fatigue only the next morning very lazily and slowly did Miss begin to open her eyes since she still wanted to sleep imagine the heroine's surprise when she saw EOL who usually didn't leave the the room right next to her bed the elf asked how the girl was

feeling since she had slept for two whole days which made her immediately jump up in shock but before siren could make even a couple of movements her entire body was gripped by a sharp pain which was a residual phenomenon the chieftain's son explained that such reactions were completely normal since the countess's daughter had been subjected to aelon he admitted that he did not want this story to end this way but the girl reassured her friend saying that she herself wanted to do this then ult returned to the good news and said that thanks to that

candle he would soon make a cure these words made the heroine feel such great happiness that she even froze in place as she was unable to say anything as a result only after a few seconds the girl smiled happily and thanked her Ally for the work done here the Miss noticed that the elf himself for some reason was not happy so she asked him what the matter was somewhat confed confused eal admitted that it was the first time in his life that he had seen Serena smile so happily about something at this moment the Countess

remembered her daughter's actions so she again went down to the hallucination room the woman carefully counted the candles but at first glance they were all in place and everything was in perfect order with him here the assistant brought Madame an important letter which left her extremely dissatisfied because she was being rushed she angrily crumpled the paper and threw it as far away as possible realizing that now she would have to speed up her actions the Countess rushed to her son's room for now they were the closest victims available to her here she heard the boys

Whispering downstairs about where exactly they should run away from the estate maxian had serious doubts about Karen's plan but both understood that it was impossible to remain in the melfor estate any longer hearing all this their mother smiled wickedly since her sons had arranged their escape just at the right time for her initially women gave birth to Children only in order to use them later and for the twins the hour of Reckoning has come so without thinking twice the Countess grabbed her own children and wrote a letter to the man she was collaborating with in

it she said that she was sending the twins to confirm the seriousness of her intentions since she did not want to terminate the contract peen who was a member of the organization with which Madame was communicating got hold of this information quite quickly the guy was very surprised by The Madness of the woman who sent her own children as victims but before he could reach the twins with whom he wanted to talk one of the dark magicians of their Guild called out to him the guy hugged his friend and whispered that he wanted to give

him a chance to Excel and show his skills for some reason the guy in the cloak was sure that everyone around him was a coward which made the appearance of their organization disappear but pen didn't want to listen to one of The Magicians who was irritating him so so much with his reasoning so he left almost immediately he found the room of the kidnapped Aristocrats which interested the guy much more right now since it was only possible to enter inside with the help of Magic the blue-haired man easily read the necessary spell as soon as

he entered he saw Karen and maxan who were sitting on the floor and were tied together with one strong chain the darkhaired twin immediately began to Grumble angrily upon seeing the stranger demanding that he introduce him self after which Karen even shouted for the unknown guy to let them go right now because they were stolen illegally but in response pien laughed merrily and said that he would not be able to fulfill the request of CEST mord's children this made one of the twins even more angry and he began to furiously demand that the stranger leave

them Mackin listening to all his brother's screams only sighed since he had long since gotten used to how noisy he was when the first twin fell silent the second calmly asked pien why they were tied up in this place at all the blue-haired Mage replied that nothing would change for them anyway even if they did find out the real reason to which Maxin replied that he would prefer the truth to any lie and after these words pan suddenly became more serious approaching him as a result the magician sat down next to the Twins and with

a Sly grin said that he had not come here at all to tell them anything pen was clearly mocking the tiedup guys when suddenly they seemed vaguely familiar to him he grabbed maxion and immediately remembered the girl from the auction who for some unknown purpose dressed up as a guy the twin guessed that the magician had come to them for a reason so he made another attempt to at least get him to talk a little here pen stated that he had heard that there was special blood in their family to which no one from melfor

reacted at first suddenly Max's eyes widened in betrayal with realization as he remembered his older sister siren the twin knew that for some reason Mikel had been interested in her blood from the very beginning and now the blue-haired magician was talking about it even Karen guessed that they were talking about their sister although his mental abilities usually failed him maxion was horrified that his twin had just told the enemy everything about their beloved relative but it was too late because pen had heard everything he needed to hear and was now smiling slightly and the younger

brother himself had no idea what to do now because they had just accidentally set up their sister at that moment a slight chill ran through the body of the unsuspecting heroine but she did not attach any importance to it instead the girl continued searching throughout ais's estate because she wanted to talk to him about something although the lady was ashamed of her feelings she still admitted to herself that she was noticeably bored she came to the Duke's room and noticed that he was in the bathroom when suddenly the girl was attracted by something lying on

the floor for some reason there were bandages with blood thrown there which in theory shouldn't have been in the estate here AES finally came out of the shower and was surprised to see Serena who for the first time in her life came to visit him since Miss did not notice any injuries on her friend she anxiously asked where the bandages in his room were from to this akeria calmly said that he had injured himself during training a few days ago and so had left them but the heroine did not believe that in this world there

was even one person capable of injuring the young Duke the only one that came to the countess's daughter's mind was Capron but she was absolutely sure that the guys had not yet had any conflicts with each other so the only option left was her mother whom AIS could not harm due to the influence acting on him suddenly the guy leaned towards the girl and asked if she was really worried about him at that moment at the same time part of his body accidentally opened up and the M noticed exactly where her friend's wound was located

she immediately moved closer instinctively wanting to help the Duke but he quickly said that everything was perfectly fine now suddenly Serena realized that she was genuinely worried about AES which caused her to instantly blush and become embarrassed pretending to give aeria the opportunity to change clothes the girl ran away from him as quickly as possible only when she found herself outside her friend's room was the heroine able to breathe a sigh of relief as she had not expected such a emotions from herself even now the lady was still tormented by the question of what those

bloody bandages were because the guy hadn't said anything about them the girl had only one hypothesis which arose from the memories of the blood on the sword in the hallucination room now Serena was worried that it might have been ais's blood which is why he wore bandages on the wound for some time but right now the countess's daughter lacked Clues to fully understand everything that was happening the girl understood that guessing and assuming would be a bad idea so she decided not to think about this incident for now after some time the day of the

banquet arrived so Serena dressed up for it in a beautiful dress she had recently bought all the servants were delighted with the image of the young mistress and only ult stubbornly pretended that he did not like this outfit but the assistants asked the lady not to listen to the grumpy elf and said that it was time for her to go to the event the Persistence of the maids somewhat confused the heroine so it took her a little time to come to her senses before leaving the Miss out of politeness said goodbye to the elf who

was still grumbling but asked her to be more careful as soon as Serena stepped outside she noticed how much colder it had become due to the fact that the banquet was held in the evening only a few seconds later miss saw the dressed up ages who was humbly waiting for her near the carriage unexpectedly the Duke came closer and admitted that he did not want to let the girl go to this ban which greatly surprised the heroine blushing to his ears the guy said that Serena was incredibly beautiful and he didn't want to show it

to anyone the countess's daughter did not expect to hear something like this from the guy so she froze in place in great surprise but after a few seconds she came to her senses and laughed loudly asking aeria if he was really jealous with a sigh ages admitted that he had indeed felt similar emotions and could not help himself smiling the nevertheless climbed into the carriage first since they could not miss the event because of such Trifles but having settled comfortably in place the girl noticed that for some reason the guy was in no hurry to

sit down next to her so the heroine herself hurried her friend because she did not want to be late for such an important holiday when the countess's daughter arrived at the event everyone around the Aristocrat stared at her outfit Serena smiled sweetly at each of the girls who complimented her as she did not want to quarrel with anyone suddenly right in front of Miss there appeared that very sbia with whom the heroine absolutely did not want to maintain communication according to the original story AA was Juliana's friend but did too many nasty things to the

cis's daughter melfor remembered that this girl's hatred for her was fueled by her feelings for the young Duke and even now the Aristocrat could not help but mention AES who did not leave her thoughts and heart everyone was discussing the lady's outfit which Madame blanch had created although the Miss herself had nothing to do with it for this reason the girl felt awkward that the woman had created her outfit so similar to a Kia hearing that Madame blanch was entirely responsible for their outfits aa's face darkened with anger over this circumstance at this point all

the guests were told that Mikael melfor had arrived and the Miss immediately turned around to speak to her elder brother she was very worried about letting him down at their last meeting so she wrote letters of regret so now Serena ran towards Mikel as fast as she could because she wanted to apologize to him personally the guy picked out a suit for the banquet that suited him incredibly well and emphasized his slender but strong body the first thing Miss said was that she missed him but the Elder melfor did not believe her words at all

however the heroine did not pay attention to her brother's suspicions and again asked about his health but he was fine Mikel immediately began to laugh loudly and talk a lot as if confirming the fact that nothing terrible had happened to him imagine Serena's surprise when her brother suddenly admitted in his dialogues that the twins had run away somewhere the girl could not believe that the family of Karen and maxion for some reason dared to leave their home this information made the lady want to scream right now and her eyes darted senselessly around the room in

panic but Mikel said he hadn't even made made any progress in his search so he couldn't say where exactly the two had gone the guy added that he was diligently continuing to collect rumors so he asked the Miss not to worry too much about this situation suddenly the relatives had to interrupt their conversation because Kyon eight himself finally arrived at the banquet it was unclear who exactly the Knight began to look for so carefully almost immediately after his appearance but he looked around at some point Serena accidentally crossed eyes with this warlike man although she

did not believe that it was possible however looking at the girl the guy suddenly whispered with his lips that he had found her after a long time these words greatly frightened the heroine since she could not imagine that Kyon would remember her image from the auction Miss turned away in panic as quickly as possible not knowing exactly what to do in such a difficult situation for her since Serena did not want to continue to casually communicate with aites she quickly said goodbye even to her brother she went out onto the balcony hoping that in this

place no one would pay attention to such a lonely and tired person imagine the surprise of the countess's daughter when she suddenly saw St Juliana in exactly the same Solitude the girl doubted whether it was worth it she knew that at the next banquet the blonde would be with Kon as he would show a sincere and caring interest in her however for some unknown reason the guy didn't even look at Juliana but came closer and invited Serena to dance the aristocrats around immediately began to whisper that apart from the countess's daughter the Knight clearly could

not invite anyone else to dance but the lady herself was not at all happy with this opportunity so she clasped her hands in excitement not knowing what to do next no matter how excited the girl was she decided not to attract unnecessary attention and agreed to dance with Kyon but before the M could offer him her hand it was brazenly intercepted by AES who was unhappy with what was happening and interfered the heroine stared at the Young Duke in Surprise as she had not expected him to intervene so obviously here AES politely explained to AES

that Serena had promised him her first dance so he was taking the girl with him the Miss herself knew for sure that this did not happen but the guy lied very skillfully so she did not say that it was not so although the countess's daughter herself had already morally agreed to dance with Kyon she was therefore not very pleased with aia's behavior but the lady quickly found a way out of the situation and said that she would definitely give ites her second dance since she was busy now the young Duke who did not want to

give his beloved to anyone was perplexed by this information but before the guy could object to the girl she reminded him that the dance had already begun and they couldn't stand still only after a few seconds did AIS collect his thoughts and ask Serena why she agreed to such a stupid adventure to which the heroine responded with a Sly smile that she could dance with anyone she wanted since she had not yet officially dated anyone to prevent her friend from wanting to kill Kyon the lady nevertheless reassured him that she would soon return after which

Miss went to eights since he had already managed to wait for a long time and the second song had almost begun during their dance the guy spoke first and admitted that he had recently seen someone who looked like a girl Ina guessed that he was hesitant to say everything directly so she decided to continue to play the role of not understanding anything Kyon added that the lady had the same eyes which could not be imitated by any strong magic melfor realized that she needed to try to confuse the night so that he would not be

ass sure that she was that person Miss began to laugh slightly smiling at every word of eight as if nothing he said concerned her when he admitted that the man was a guy the heroine was quite genuinely surp surprised and lied that she had misunderstood everything but the Miss was glad that in the end the guy couldn't recognize the girl behind her entire outfit but was looking for someone of the male gender but all this did not explain to the lady why the Knight had no doubt that it was she who he needed now the

whole time of the dance Capron incinerated the girl with an attentive gaze as he increasingly came to the thought that he had already seen her when the music ended the heroin moved away from the guy with relief when suddenly she saw something suspicious nearby some Aristocrat unnoticed by everyone else poured a liquid of Unknown Origin into a glass of drink right before Serena's eyes the man offered a glass with something mixed into it to Juliana who didn't suspect anything but the countess's daughter arrived in time and intercepted the glass from the aristocrat's hands just so

the saint wouldn't drink anything after which melfor confidently stated that she had simply noticed something interesting and would give the drink back immediately after checking uliana was no less amazed than her friend by the actions of the girl whom she had always considered a role model at this point the Aristocrat began to shout loudly that no one had the right to take the drink away from the saint herself regardless of his status the heroine narrowed her eyes suspiciously as she realized that the man was too calm for a person who had come up with something

and he said that the girl wouldn't find anything in the glass anyway so she could keep it for herself and drink it all after carefully examining the liquid inside Miss remembered hearing about a drug that only affected people with Godly Powers so Serena handed Juliana a glass and asked her to check its contents for exactly this unusual thing the blonde girl didn't believe that something like this could happen to her but she still obediently began to check the drink imagine the Saint's surprise when inside the glass she discovered the very drug that would work against

her the heroine thought with fear that the events now Were Somehow different from what happened in the original novel in the novel it was cypron who should have noticed something like this and thus saved Juliana after which they would have continued to communicate but now siren herself had to save the saint which made her tense because she didn't think that everything would change so much here the Aristocrat could not bear the shame of being exposed so he took out a knife and shouted that he would kill the fair-haired lady anyway without thinking at all about

what she was doing melfor jumped in front of Juliana and the knife strike landed on her the saint was not prepared for such a turn of events so she went into shock at the sight of her friend whom she adored being wounded but the lady herself understood perfectly well that nothing was finished yet although she felt bad at the sight of her blood on the blade however the girls were quickly surrounded by almost all the members of the fascist group who had managed to sneak into the banquet Miss squeezed her hand tightly because even with

the number of opponents she was not going to give up easily but before siren could do anything the dark magicians one after another began to fall to the floor right in front of her a man slowly approached the heads of the aristocrats barely restraining himself from the desire to trample these villains it turned out to be Duke aeria who was Furious that someone dared to hurt his beloved the heroine had no words of comfort for the guy at that moment since even she was frightened at the sight of his anger and AES himself suddenly realized

that it was useless for him to try to scold Serena for not returning to him immediately after the dance so he took off the beautiful scarf from his neck and sat down next to the countess's daughter to carefully and gently place the bandage on her arm it was painful for aeria to watch what happened to the lady because he would have preferred to be in her place and suffer himself meanwhile the guards finally reacted and began to catch the remaining accomplices of the dark organization watching what was happening Miss hoped that now the story would

follow the original plot when suddenly she winced in pain it turned out that aeria had tightened the bandage on the girl's hand too tightly at the very last moment to stop the blood from flowing in the end Serena did not remain silent and they even argued a little with a friend which Juliana watched with concern in the end the guy couldn't stand at first and with a menacing glare asked the countess's daughter to stop swearing but melfor herself couldn't stop being angry about the way the guy had somehow allowed himself to communicate with her the

girl acted so boldly because she knew that acara's powers would not work on her due to her good pedigree although a was an exception to the rule since there were no Mages in his family he too could not harm melfor in any way here uliana intervened in the dialogue asking for forgiveness for her tears because it was not she who should be crying now in response siren smiled graciously and said that at such moments the saint could simply Express her gratitude the heroine took advantage of the situation and strengthened her relationship with the blonde so

that she was now always ready to help but Juliana had no idea that repaying the debt could cost her too much so melfor remained silent for now here the countess's daughter was approached by an assistant who conveyed a message from the Emperor who wished to provide first aid to the lady AES was the first to react and picked up the Miss in his arms which confused her since the girl did not consider her wound serious finally siren turned to the Saint and said with a smile that she was looking forward to their next meeting suddenly

Juliana felt a wave of sadness and shame so when the priests ran up to her she asked them to leave but they refused to Leave the Girl Alone explaining that it could still be too dangerous after what had happened however the fair-haired lady was not at all in the mood for peaceful conversation so she demanded that everyone leave her alone going out into the yard the girl sat down near the fountain and began to think about how easily she had once again ruined everything around her in the end she couldn't take it anymore and burst

into tears because she didn't know how to finally stop creating problems for others suddenly a stranger approached the lady and noticing her tears politely handed the blonde his handkerchief Juliana saw this handsome guy for the first time in her life and he immediately asked with a smile if she really was a saint it was pen who was actually looking for Serena and decided to find out from her friend where exactly the countess's daughter was suddenly the guy saw that melfor was sitting in the carriage all alone for some reason although she was supposed to leave

with aeria he understood that he could not miss such a chance so he said goodbye to Juliana saying that she could keep the scarf the saint did not expect that her new acquaintance would leave her alone so quickly although they had just started their conversation having carefully examined the gifted scarf the lady concluded that the guy was quite harmless although they would not meet again and at that moment the heroine was really riding in the carriage all alone since A's eventually told her not to wait for him the siren knew that the boy really wanted

to go with her but just before leaving the emperor intercepted him so they had to separate closing her eyes as she slowly drifted off to sleep melr felt a Pang of guilt over her argument with her friend their angry conversations did not end even after the saint left as both were too irritated to stop at that moment the lady got very angry and said too many unnecessary things to her friend which she actually did not think about at all in the end akeria was the first to shut up and said that he hoped the lady

would simply not put herself in danger anymore and only in the carriage did Sir feel sincerely sorry that they couldn't immediately make peace with each other because because of such a trifle now all she wanted was to hold the poor guy who was already suffering from brainwashing as close to her as possible with such heavy thoughts the girl herself did not notice how she eventually fell asleep and woke up only late at night imagine the heroine's surprise when looking out the window she did not recognize the surrounding landscape at all Serena jumped in fear as

she almost immediately realized that for some reason she was not going to the aeria estate at all the Miss tried to open the carriage door but it was tightly locked which only frightened the girl even more the countess's daughter guessed that someone had deliberately put her to sleep and locked her in this place just so that she could not Escape but the girl had practiced magic for a long time so it was not difficult for her to create a powerful enough spell and get out so literally a few seconds later siren knocked down the door

in one Fell Swoop and jumped out of the carriage at full speed when she fell even though she had wrapped her entire body in Magic the lady still accidentally injured her ankle as soon as melfor got out the carriage stopped almost immediately since the Miss's Escape did not go unnoticed but the heroine could not recognize in the figure the kind Coachman who was supposed to sit in this place and take her to the estate siren peered carefully into the night Darkness trying to understand who exactly was in front of her and trying to steal her

when the guy finally came closer Miss's entire body was was pierced by Goosebumps caused by tension and fear the thing is that she recognized her kidnapper as the same guy from the auction who had already tried to take her for himself at this moment completely unaware of what was happening acaria was still gloomier than a cloud due to his disrupted plans the boy was unhappy that the emperor had called him so unexpectedly but he still did not resist and followed the guards the fact is that the ruler was able to get the captured members of

the fous group to make all the other members of The Guild begin to act akeria immediately realized that they were talking about Fanatics who were descendants of dark magicians and asked what had become known but the emperor could only tell that these people planned to kidnap the saint having first given her poison to drink after thinking it over for a while the Duke came to the conclusion that such a venture was the idea of some low-ranking magician but what amused the boy most was that the ruler consulted with him and not with Capron which made

unable to hold back a grin he guessed that the emperor began to dislike the guy because his reputation was growing too quickly overtaking even his majesty so now it was AES who could boldly propose his ideas to the ruler knowing that he would definitely listen to them and approve them the man was still unsure about what methods to use so aeria offered to take responsibility he said that it would be a good idea to use the saint as bait since for some reason Fus was hunting for her right now the Duke suggested following Juliana who

would be dragged Away by The Magicians to their Lair and that would finally be how to find them and expose them he was absolutely sure that Fus would not have taken the saint anywhere except this place so the plan could work the Duke hoped that with Juliana's help they would be able to find more than one base of the group and then easily destroy each one after which the guy turned his gaze to The Magicians and said that it was unlikely that further conversations with them would yield anything else he asked to leave one alive

and then see where this man would run rejoicing in his freedom at the very end AIS asked the ruler for permission to ask him a question as he wanted to maintain a polite attitude the emperor immediately smiled and nodded in response since he was not at all against discussing something further with the Duke but his majesty never admitted that he was actually friends with CEST melfor and often helped her so all aeria could do was turn over the coals in the dungeon to put out the fire and go to the carriage and at that moment

the heroine was finally convinced that it was this blue-haired guy she had seen at the auction he laughed merrily and admitted that it was the first time in his life that he was driving a carriage himself so he was very nervous during the process but siren did not share his Joy so she restrainedly asked the magician to tell her what he wanted from her that he even stole it in response pien honestly said that he was interested in the the girl's unusual magical blood for which he had taken her away but the lady had no

desire to share something like that with this man so she frowned while trying to distract the enemy with conversations Miss quickly created a strong blade behind her back when the girl was completely ready she was the first to attack the guy because she knew that he would not let her go anyway suddenly siren began to find it unusually difficult to breathe although nothing like this had ever happened to her before because of this melfor fell to her knees and lowered her sword as she was now unable to control her own body she guessed that it

was higher magic that interfered with her breathing and movement so much because it exceeded her powers pean at this point said that he did not want to harm his future doll so he asked the lady not to resist him but siren wasn't going to sit still obediently so she concentrated and was soon able to dispel the magic after which she immediately jumped on the enemy taking advantage of the fact that he did not expect such a quick release of the girl the lady protected her leg with magic so when she hit the guy in the

chest it didn't hurt her at all after which melfor ran as fast as she could because she knew that the same opportunity might not come at the same time the heroine did not forget to defend herself so she turned back sharply as soon as she had the opportunity Miss created a powerful explosive spell that was especially dangerous in confined spaces due to its destructiveness every everything around was immediately filled with smoke left behind by such a huge and bright flash of the spell the lady could barely breathe again but now her heart was about to

explode from absorbing so much magic looking around the heroine did not believe that the guy had somehow miraculously managed to avoid her attack suddenly huge and thick tree branches quickly approached siren from all sides which greatly frightened her the girl had no time to react to such an unusual attack so she found self tied hand and foot Miss barely tried to contain her panic because she had never heard anything about such a strange and dangerous type of magic before but what bothered the countess's daughter most was that the wound on her hand had opened up

again and was hurting badly and this distracted her then from somewhere below the voice of the blue-haired magician Was Heard and Miss immediately realized with Chagrin that he had survived after all the guy chuckled and said that he was too bad at pretending to be dead so he didn't even try he admitted that no one was ever allowed to use Magic on living beings but he was a dark mat hearing the lady compare him to a fanatic pien immediately became upset and began shouting loudly denying such characteristics siren took advantage of this and immediately attacked

the tree as she was tired of all this fighting and wanted to get out as soon as possible as a result the girl found herself in the air for a moment after which she fell to the ground and hid herself painfully having barely risen with the help of her strong arms Miss reminded herself that she urgently needed to get out of this terrible place the heroine was very lucky and the horses had not yet had time to leave the carriages so she just jumped onto one of them Serena had been training and learning to ride

horses fast for a long time so it was not difficult for her Miss was only worried about her wounds opening up but she couldn't help but enjoy the unexpected beauty of the forest the next morning when she felt much better the first thing the girl did was to study the newspapers in search of information but all she could find was about a national festival that was about to happen soon however Serena did not Despair and continued to study everything that was written in just a few morning newspapers eventually she was able to find information that

yesterday's attack on the Saint had been blown out of proportion for some reason all the facts pointed directly to the faist group but few among the aristocrats cared about the details yesterday when the lady was returning to the estate and saw the lanterns in the sky she remembered one of her walks with the young Duke last year they borrowed a boat and escaped from a banquet together deciding to have a blast riding on the river the girl was able to find and take with her beautiful and delicate lanterns one of which she was the first

to launch into the air AAS almost immediately followed her example because he noticed how pleased the lady's face was and wanted to please her further her but after some time the countess's daughter could not remember what wish she had made at that moment Serena didn't know for sure if she would ever be able to ride a boat again like she did on that wonderful day the lady understood that her current communication with AES was not conducive to anything like that due to their busy schedules squeezing her hand from tension the heroine remembered that she had

almost died several times already and eal had helped her recover yesterday when the lady managed to reach the EST she fell down without strength and it seemed to her that aeria was begging her to open her eyes he gently stroked her injured hands and asked her to wait a little until help arrived here in the form of an elf in the end melfor was unable to ask the Duke about yesterday since he had run off early that morning to do his own business so miss decided to postpone this conversation until the evening because it did

not seem so important and necessary to her the girl like her older brother was much more worried about where exactly Kon and maxion had disappeared to so suddenly Mikael even came to the conclusion that something really serious had happened to the twins since there had been no news until now as a result all these chaotic and disturbing thoughts even began to gradually Drive the guy crazy due to hopelessness suddenly one of the Elder Brothers subordinate Ravens flew to him with Max's handkerchief which for some reason had blood on it but Mikel was so deep in

his thoughts that at first he didn't even notice the important piece of evidence that had been brought to him then the bird once again Drew attention to itself reminding its owner that it was not just exploring the territory for no reason at the sight of the handkerchief the Elder melfor cried out in shock as he knew how important this thing was to his brother he carefully examined the embroidery and concluded that it was the same scarf that Serena had made with her own hands as a gift Mikael immediately guessed that something had happened to the

twins otherwise they would not have parted with such an important thing so easily at that moment the black raven shook his head in confusion although he was usually quite smart the bird followed its owner who could barely contain his own emotions due to strong experiences for a moment the entire room was reflected in his eyes as the Raven carefully studied everything in order to later pass it on to the owner several hours later the heroine was finally able to touch the water something she had sincerely and long desired the Duke whom she had barely persuaded

to go on this Voyage was very worried about the girl but she replied that she was fine then akeria changed the subject and tried to find out why his beloved suddenly wanted to go on a boat ride but Serena couldn't admit that she was afraid that this would be the last time they saw each other so she again said nothing only now did the Miss suddenly realize that for some reason she was enjoying spending time with the young Duke more and more then the lady asked the guy if he knew who exactly attacked her and

he immediately denied that he had even tried to do this but the heroin smiled and admitted that she had heard aeria conversations who was very angry at that unknown man in the end AES admitted that he was so angry at the people who dared to touch his beloved that he was ready to kill them he clenched his fist tightly because he was afraid that after this confession the girl would definitely hate him but Serena with a sweet smile on her face told her friend that he was still the same sweet and cool person to her

after which she abruptly changed the subject and suggested that the Duke finally launched the lanterns they had taken with them into the sky she fiddled around in the boat for a bit looking for a lantern specifically for eia and then handed him a beautiful already lit candle the boy obediently released the lantern into the sky since he himself liked this colorful spectacle of candles against the sky Serena tried not to put too much hope in the wish she made but couldn't resist asking for a jesu's freedom even aeria raised his head up and thoughtfully closed

his eyes because he was diligently thinking up and making a wish the siren was surprised when she heard that the Duke had wished for her to marry him in a few years completely confused and embarrassed Miss turned away from her friend and began to look at the coastal areas of the city when they returned from their walk the heroine discovered that Mikael had sent a letter with information about the twins suddenly an elf ran into the girl room in a hurry and even forgot to observe the proprieties and knock as he was in such a

hurry the lady asked in confusion what had happened to her Ally since he was running towards her so quickly not paying attention to his fatigue imagine the amazement of the countess's daughter when eagl announced that he had just finished designing a medicine although the lady should have been happy since ais's release was near she could barely thank the elf for his work Miss herself did not understand what exactly was happening to her because she had been striving for this result for so long but could not accept it the heroine remembered All Too Well akia's various

States in some of which he was very worried about her in other situations the guy was very embarrassed which made his cheeks blush cutely although the Duke himself tried to remain cool and more than anything in the world Serena wished that AES would finally be able to smile his joyful and sincere smile at her however when the girl heard that the medicine was ready she felt only an incomprehensible emptiness and despair inside herself even icult asked with surprise why Serena had such a heavy and sad expression on her face because he saw no reason the

guy said he thought he would see a happy smile on the lady's face and she immediately stated that she was indeed happy although eagl did not believe such an excuse he still did not ask anything more but only sadly turned away when the elf left the countess's daughter began to justify herself by by saying that she was not happy only because she was very surprised but no matter what she felt the girl was still serious and planned to start freeing her friend tomorrow that night the elf could not sleep peacefully as memories of the past

when he was still little crept into his head he tried his best to persuade his sister to stay with him but she only smiled back and said that she would be fine the girl really wanted to see her beloved and it was no secret to ecult that he was the prince of the human Empire although such a relationship was discussed from the outside the chieftain's eldest daughter could do nothing about her loving heart her little brother was more horrified than anyone else that the lady was seeing a man and begged her not to go to

him he insisted that the prince did not love his sister at all but only used her but she did not want to hear anything about it suddenly the boy saw something that immediately made him forget all his previous arguments against the beautiful older one she carefully hid the Forbidden book of their Clan behind her back but the child still noticed this rare item the princess immediately began to deny the fact that the prince asked her to bring this book because she believed in their love then EOL extended his small hand and asked the girl to

give him the book so that he could quickly return it to its place when the sister said that she could not do this the elf became Furious because he saw how the Elder one was blinded but the girl herself said that she simply took the book for a while to read and would soon return it to its place but the brother did not believe these words and tried to take the book away which caused the older sister to hit him and the little elf fell painfully to the floor this was the last time EOL saw

his sister as she never returned from that meeting and right now the guy jumped up on the bed again because this nightmare had been happening to him more and more often lately only after some time did the elf calm down and absent-mindedly noticed that his hair had grown too long again at this point Maxin was trying to calm Karen who was trying again and again to escape from the enchanted chains however the twin did not even intend to stop for a moment although all his attempts to get out had so far led to nothing all

this made Maxin more and more angry with each passing second but so far he hadn't figured out what to do the fair-haired brothers Only Hope lay in Mikael to whom he tried to pass on his bloody handkerchief the Elder melfor was smart and observant enough to suspect expect something and begin searching for the missing twins here Karen interrupted his brother's thoughts as he again screamed loudly and began to try hard to break the chains once again and then suddenly although none of the guys really expected it the enchanted strong links actually broke the dark-haired twin

immediately laughed happily as he was very pleased that they had managed to get out maxian muttered in confusion that it was impossible to escape from such chains using physical methods alone he then turned to his brother and excitedly asked how he had managed to do it to which he pointed out his Incredible strength here Karen asked in Surprise why his twin was sweating so much because he saw no reason for it maxian said he was just feeling hot but then he looked around and realized the room was freezing cold to his surprise the guy could

not explain to himself why exactly he felt hot despite the piercing cold around him Karen asked anxiously if his brother was okay because he wanted to help in any way he could but the twin did not pay attention to his condition and instead cautiously looked out into the empty Corridor but although there was no one around the guy had no idea which direction they should go now suddenly Karen himself grabbed Max's hand and confidently pulled him straight after him as he was ready to be the leader however literally a few seconds into their Journey the

fair-haired twin couldn't take it anymore and fell to the ground exhausted no matter how much much his brother supported him the boy clenched his fists in sadness as he realized that he would not be able to go anywhere further but Karan didn't even consider the option of leaving without his brother so the twin ran up to his relative then maxion calmly explained to his stronger brother that they had no right to miss such an opportunity so he had better leave the fair-haired guy explained that he would be completely fine because if he was caught they

would simply increase security but not touch him maxian had long since decided that it would be better to be kidnapped than to be a burden to his Brave and determined brother he said that he would catch up with his twin but Karan immediately recognized the LIE which made him very angry because of such a lie Frozen in place with a proud and straight back the guy declared that he refused to go anywhere without his relative under such pressure Maxin gave in and only asked why his brother had decided to run away with him but he

had no answer suddenly the the dark-haired guy sat down next to the fair-haired guy and asked him why he needed to leave home at all and Maxin admitted somewhat hesitantly that he simply did not want to be caught because he knew something important but before the twin could explain everything to his brother they both heard the screams of The Magicians who noticed The Disappearance of the captives imagine the surprise of the smart guy when his strong relative suddenly easily threw him onto his back maxian anxiously demanded that his brother let him go and not suffer

because it was much more difficult to move like that the guy still shouted resolutely that he would not abandon his relative alone even if he asked him very hard maxian realized with sadness that it was only a matter of time before they were caught because even Karan would eventually Tire suddenly the dark-haired twin noticing that they were almost caught up climbed onto the railing of the high staircase until they were approached the blond-haired man looked down in horror as he knew their chance of survival were too slim due to the height but Karen declared that

he would never let them catch him and pushing off with his feet from the railing he and his brother fell down the next morning while the heroine and eilt walked to ais's office her heart was beating wildly with excitement previously the girl had imagined many times how happy this day would be for her but now she felt empty akeria did not expect that his beloved in the company of an elf would unexpect L appear in the work quarters so early so he jumped up from his seat ult was the first to break the silence and

reported that the medicine for the young Duke was completely ready Serena noticed ais's confused face and asked if he wasn't happy that he would finally be free very soon in response the guy asked the lady what she felt and the Miss confidently lied that she was very happy about what was happening even more saddened by this answer akeria nodded and said that in that case he would also try to be happy here ult intervened in the conversation because he wanted to tell what he had noticed last time about the instability in the Duke's Health Serena

was warned that her friend might experience side effects so she prepared a sleeping pill for him aes's was noticeably surprised by this because he did not expect that the treatment would require such precautions and the heroine explained that the removal of aelon was very problematic and could greatly affect the human psyche ailt nodded reservedly and said that the worst of such phenomena would be hallucinations that were difficult to distinguish from the truth ages calmly endured the information that he could very well go crazy if he took the treatment incorrectly after which after thinking silently for

a while the guy agreed to all this with a sad voice because that's what siren wanted pleased with his patient consent the elf immediately laid out all the necessary means in front of him explaining what and how to take melfor watched aeria closely and until the very end his cold gazee piercing her like the Thorns of beautiful flowers that same evening the girl came to the Duke's room to see for herself how he would take the medicine when he had drunk everything he needed Miss carefully pushed a sleeping pill towards AIS at the same time

Serena anxiously asked a kelt if everything would be okay with aeria and the elf almost immediately confirmed this melfor only calmed down when she heard that the side effect would last for 4 hours during which the boy would sleep in response akaria smiled sweetly and thanked his beloved for worrying about him so much now after which in order not to cause anyone any further anxiety he popped a sleeping pill into his mouth and washed it down with water after which the Duke joyfully wished Serena and ecult good night waiting until they both left him alone

immediately after that he quickly spat out the pill since he had only pretended all this time that he had obediently taken it he did so because he already had plans outside the estate for that night and had no intention of changing them for ease and speed of movement the guy used a magic portal so that no one could follow him already at this moment CEST melfor was impatiently awaiting him having demanded in advance that the Duke come to her akeria did not feel the same Joy at the sight of the woman since until now he

still considered her a real Enemy Inside himself in response to this question the lady smiled even more slightly since she knew in advance that the guy would be interested in this question although a left the estate 3 years ago Serena's mother continued to secretly call him to her checking on his current condition at such moments the CEST would also deliberately provoke the guy and this time she said that Serena was receiving marriage proposals the Duke's face actually became even more serious when he heard that the woman had unexpectedly planed to marry off her daughter she

moved even closer to aeria and specifically named another candidate to irritate him as much as possible as the lady expected the guy barely holding back his anger immediately declared that he was not going to watch something like this from the sidelines the CEST grabbed the Duke by the chin and reminded him that he still couldn't do anything without her permission the woman once again reminded that Serena was her daughter and Aus was trapped while he loved this girl the lady smiled maliciously and asked if the guy really wanted to see his beloved's head roll off

her shoulders the Duke himself understood perfectly well that the only reason for his powerlessness was precisely his love for the countess's daughter the Countess had brainwashed AZ so well that he really couldn't escape from what had been instilled in him the woman deliberately tried to brainwash aeria so that he would become a hostage because of his emotions and feelings when he first arrived at melfor Manor as a little boy he had no one to treasure and the Countess knew this very well which she ultimately decided to take advant AG of in order to bind the

child to her family the woman began to methodically convince the future Duke that her daughter was the most important person in his life and even now after so much time akaria could not contradict Madame because more than anything in the world he was afraid of losing Serena the guy could only beg the Countess not to give his beloved to a completely different person which he constantly threatened to do noticing that the Duke had become sufficiently despondent madame handed him a bottle and demanded that he drink it if he wanted to see her daughter a asked

suspiciously what it was as his first thought was some kind of dangerous poison but in reality the guy would have drunk this liquid no matter what was in it which the lady knew perfectly well so literally a few seconds later akaria without thinking at all swallowed the unknown drink from the ctis immediately after this the guy's entire body was pierced by terrible pain which caused him to even start coughing up blood on the floor the Duke dropped the empty and no longer needed bottle onto the carpet since he was most concerned with physical Sensations at

the moment and the Countess mercilessly walked past the guy saying that this time she hadn't succeeded either but there was still enough time only after some time did AIS gradually begin to open his eyes feeling that everything still looked blurry looking at his hands the Duke discovered that for some reason they were covered in blood although he remembered nothing about it since aeria was already in his estate he could not resist and went over to see how peacefully Serena was sleeping he reached out his hand to the girl's face but noticed in time that he

could accidentally stain her beautiful face so he stopped not wanting to expose himself to such Temptation any longer the guy quickly left the lady's room and walked away as quickly as possible the cancellation of the possible engagement of the countess's daughter did not pass Without a Trace for the wall of the young Duke no matter how rich he was the whole point is that AES promised to transfer to melfor the largest mind that his family had but what acaria suffered most now was that the drink from the Countess was still affecting his Consciousness and causing

harm imagine the Duke's surprise when right behind him he heard the gentle voice of siren who should now be sleeping the guy immediately remembered that he had taken the medicine from the elf which had its own side effects if you didn't fall asleep and it was at this very moment that the time came for hallucinations which is why the beautiful miss appeared before ais's eyes she gently pressed herself against the boy's body and asked why he had not listened to her and taken the necessary sleeping pills in the end akeria knew it was just an

illusion so he just wanted to ignore it until the girl reached for his lips at that moment the guy couldn't stand it and leaned forward even glad that the hallucinations were so realistic suddenly the picture changed dramatically and AIS was horrified by how terrible and disgusting everything around him had become for some reason a sword appeared in his hand which the guy definitely did not take with him so that no one would suspect anything then siren abruptly took that same sort way and asked if her friend really hated her that much the girl looked at

aeria with such a sad look that he immediately began to calm her down and convince her of his strong love although the Duke understood perfectly well that all this was just his imagination he could not allow himself to leave the illusion of his beloved aside so with his bloody hands agies continued to tenderly embrace the girl whom only he could see the next morning the heroin woke up well rested so she was ready to do her work but the first thing the lady did was look with interest at the new object in her room which

the maid had brought in a few minutes ago this item turned out to be a letter although the Miss had not written to anyone so she did not expect expect any responses from the aristocrats anytime soon Serena was so busy with the medicine problems that she could have ignored the letter any longer so she opened it now it turned out that Mikel had sent it but the writing style was not at all like his brothers which immediately alerted the girl Miss stood Frozen in place completely indecisive not knowing whether she had taken everything that was

happening to seriously then someone knocked on the countess's daughter's room which distracted Serena so she invited the guest to come into her the lady was surprised to see ielt who for the first time during his stay at the estate for some reason came to her room so early the guy was clearly a little embarrassed although he was seriously prepared before finally voicing his request to his ally imagine the heroin's surprise when the elf suddenly asked her to cut his hair since he himself would not have been able to do it Serena stood there in silence

for a moment taken a back although she hadn't really planned to refuse her friend here after blinking his eyelashes several times in confusion eal looked at the object that was in the girl's hands Miss calmly explained that it was just another letter from her older brother so there was nothing to worry about after which the countess's daughter laughed in confusion and admitted that the smell of this object really was specific for some reason unknown to her the letter smelled of lemon and other incomprehensible admixtures of sweet smells suddenly the guy asked if the M had

tried to bring this paper to the candle and the girl immediately thought hard about it the heroine's eyes instantly widened from the guest that pierced her because her brother really could have tried to encrypt the letter the lady thought with regret that she herself could not have guessed such a thing and carefully brought the paper to the candle as soon as she did this other words that had been hidden really began to gradually appear between the lines not understanding what was happening Miss began to carefully read this new message from her brother who had encrypted

it he explained that he was very afraid of being discovered by his mother and so he took such measures in the hope of his sister's understanding the guy wrote that their brothers had disappeared for a reason and if Serena wanted to help with the search they should meet secretly tomorrow Mikael immediately warned that he would disguise himself although he would come every Thursday to the place they had agreed upon in advance upon seeing the secret letter ielt immediately asked what had happened since it was usually not sent to anyone just like that the elf did

not believe the lady's words that everything was fine because she had too serious an expression on her face but Serena had nothing to say in her defense so she admitted that she had a Soo relationship with her brother hearing this the chieftain's son asked for forgiveness since he did not expect that he would accidentally touch a sore spot of his ally here she abruptly changed the subject as she remembered the elf's request and nevertheless offered to quickly cut his hair as he wanted only in the chair itself did EOL suddenly remember that he had not

even asked the lady about her skills which is why he began to worry but Serena calmed her friend with a smile saying that she knew how to cut hair after which she concentrated on this task literally a few dozen minutes later the elf appeared before the Miss in his new appearance which suited him very well looking at himself in the mirror EOL was genuinely surprised because he highly appreciated appi the work of the countess's daughter although he had not expected anything but out of his pride the guy was able to whisper a quiet thank you

only just before leaving when he had almost closed the door here the heroine remembered that she had completely forgotten to keep track of the time and meanwhile it was time for her to have breakfast with the young Duke she cleaned up as quickly as possible and ran to the dining room but for some reason ais's place was empty since he didn't even come completely confused the girl froze in place and asked the maid where exactly the young Master had gone in response the assistant reported that aeria did not go downstairs because he locked himself in

his room and did not even come out the lady was completely shocked by what she heard since AIS always got up before her and never missed their meetings the Miss asked in complete bewilderment whether the servants had not yet thought to wake up the master which was their job hearing that the Duke had forbidden anyone to enter under pain of death the girl immediately ran to his room to sort everything out although even siren doubted whether it was worth doing something like this at all she squeezed the door handle and decided that she still had

to as soon as the heroin entered the room the guy without even turning around shouted that he asked no one to enter his room but when he looked at his guest he immediately froze in place because he was very surprised at the sight of the countess's daughter the guy's face darkened greatly as for the first time in his life he was not happy to see siren at such a difficult moment for him at that moment the heroin had no idea what to say so she continued to stand in one place confused the lady's voice began

to tremble violently as she tried to speak and the Duke ran up to her abruptly being just as gentle melfor found herself thinking that she was glad for the boy's tenderness something she had never expected from herself in her life but aeria did not give Miss the opportunity to be sad any longer as he hugged her and began to ask what was the matter imagine the heroin's surprise when the Duke suddenly asked why the girl did not call him as tenderly as she had that night only now did Miss realize that somehow AES had not

fallen asleep and so he was experiencing hallucinations sirena's good mood immediately evaporated because it was replaced by worries about her friend's well-being meanwhile the guy began to move down to the lady's neck and suddenly concluded that she was real since she didn't answer him immediately after these words the Duke declared that he was very tired so he left melfor in complete shock all alone she looked closely at the young man's body and discovered that he was covered in sweat although he continued to try to smile kindly at her for the first time in her life

the heroine realized that the Duke had suddenly drawn a line between them asking her to leave him for a while this was the last straw for Serena and she ran out of ais's room doubled over an emotional pain in the hallway that same night the maid came to Mrs melfor and the Countess even took a break from her work to listen to her the assistant was ordered to monitor Serena and all her actions which the servant was actively doing all this time swallowing nervously the girl admitted that she had nothing at all to report to

her mistress since she had not noticed anything then the Madame asked if her maid had found out what Serena had been doing at the acaria estate all the time after her departure from the family hearing that the assistant had not noticed anything suspicious the woman only frowned more she immediately decided that her daughter was doing something stupid again without her knowledge so as a parent she decided to teach the lady a lesson despite all the Madam's words the assistant noticed that the Countess was not so strict with her daughter and made allowances for her the

maid herself had to continue to watch Serena and really hoped that as a result she would not be able to find anything the girl was most afraid that the bloody story that happened when the Countess took her title would be repeated the next morning the heroine lay aimlessly in her bed not really knowing what she could do at all she tried to visit ais's room but the doors were closed and the guy didn't answer her as if he wasn't there then miss returned to her room for a while and read to while away the time

that was passing so slowly suddenly the girl learned from the maid that the Duke had left early in the morning and would not return soon so she began to wait for him impatiently the heroine had so many questions to ask AES but he disappeared at the most inopportune moment for her which upset her suddenly siren heard voices that indicated the arrival of the master and her eyes widened in Joy because of this melfor quickly ran down the steps wanting to see her friend as soon as possible who had left without saying anything to her imagine

the lady's surprise when she discovered that the guy's cheeks and eyes were a little red from drinking AES staggering a little approached the lady although it was a great deal of difficulty for him as he could fall at any moment here a Kia fell upon the girl who did not expect this at all and almost fell to the floor along with her friend the servants quickly took the master away so that he would not cause trouble for the Miss and she sighed deciding not to ask anything today so the next day from early morning the

heroine waited for the Duke in the dining room but for some reason he was in no hurry hurry to come in utter despair Sirena made several more attempts to see aeria but all of them ended in complete failure every day the Duke Rose too early and returned very late so that the countess's daughter was constantly left alone the lady still passed the medicine to her friend through the servants so at least there were no problems with that but the Miss was still worried melfor couldn't find a reason why the guy was constantly avoiding her which

only made her worry even more only once did the girl manage to meet AIS and she grabbed his hand begging him to talk to her and explain everything but the Duke immediately pushed the lady's hands away saying that he had an important meeting with the emperor so he was in a great hurry to get to the Palace this made Serena even more worried about whether aeria was still taking her medicine and what was going on when the maid dressed the M the next morning she asked if she didn't like the outfit which surprised the heroine

Serena herself didn't even notice how gloomy her face was which was noted with alarm by her assistants who wanted the best that day Miss had an appointment on the boulevard with her brother and the girl hoped that everything would go well between them Mikael arrived at the square and stopped near the fountain much earlier than his sister did so he waited for her calmly and soon the girl slowly and carefully approached the Elder briefly greeting him so that they would not be heard she noticed that the guy was clutching a newspaper in his hands which

told and bright colors about the antics of Fus sitting down next to Mikel Serena immediately got down to business and asked him to tell her everything that was known about their brothers the Elder melfor repeated in all seriousness that he was sure that The Disappearance of the twins was connected with their mother's Affairs he looked around and only then reached into his pocket to take out an important and for now the only piece of evidence after which looking around again just in case the guy handed the a handkerchief stained with blood the lady immediately recognized

the gift that she had made for maxion with her own hands but she did not understand why it was covered in blood because that should not be the case the girl's stomach churned at the thought that their mother could actually harm her own children in some way which was Unthinkable mik noticed his sister's condition and gently stroked her head asking her not to think up anything unnecessary since they would sort everything out he pointed up at the Flying Ravens and explained that with the help of this scarf they would definitely find the twins the guy

admitted that he had been using these birds as experimental subjects for a long time so they obeyed him perfectly he said that crows were the best at smelling blood so they could easily pick up the necessary scent at some point after hearing all this Sirena asked in bewilderment why her such a skilled and intelligent Elder needed her suddenly the crows themselves answered this question because they suddenly lost their temper and began to call loudly as if in a fit of rage immediately after this the birds completely disobeying began to attack the people around them and

Mikael could hardly stop them so the guy admitted that he needed his sister's blood in order to improve control over these creatures without any doubts about her decision Miss immediately agreed because she really wanted to help she clenched her fists and whispered that if this was how they found the brothers she was ready to sacrifice as much blood as needed Mikel smiled kindly at his sister in response and said that he knew he could always count on her help the heroine nodded reservedly and said that she herself was glad to take part in such a

matter which was not indifferent to her suddenly Miss's eyes widened in incredible surprise as right in front of her she saw something she did not expect the heroine was ready to swear that AES who should not have been here now had just flashed through the crowd of people Mikel leaned towards his sister and whispered that this world was big so it was quite possible for similar guys to live in it this brought Serena to her senses and she irritably stepped on her brother's foot asking him not to talk nonsense and not to tease her but

the Elder suddenly became angry and began to scold his sister but at that moment the lady no longer listened to him as she was thinking about the Duke and the heroine herself clenched her fists tightly in Rage because only now could she understand why AIS had been a avoiding her all this time so the lady was no longer going to stand at the closed door but decided to ask all the questions to the guy directly every time aeria said that he was tired and his eyes were completely expressionless which was not like a young man

the Duke himself felt as if his Consciousness was absurdly immersed in water and he could not get out the guy began to communicate with a red-haired girl who served the Countess and received an order from her to help the Duke but aeria quickly guessed that The Madam had simply decided to keep an eye on him through this assistant although he did not know the reasons but what worried AIS most was that before he was happy just being with siren and now he just wanted to die the guy blamed everything on the medicine which was so

destabilizing to his psyche which is why he was having such a hard time only the countess's daughter asked to drink it so aeria could not refuse but he constantly saw hallucinations because of this the fake siren began to haunt The Duke almost constantly mocking him in every possible way with her Insidious smile this girl even forbade aeria to drink sleeping pills as if she wanted to continue to torture his mind every night quite quickly the guy realized that he was going crazy since the side effects were stronger than what the elf had originally described now

the Duke saw his beloved's double even when he was not taking his medicine which only made it harder for him to communicate with everyone it was only for this reason that he continued to avoid void talking to Serena in every possible way just so as not to go completely crazy at some point things even got to the point where the countess's daughter's double began to beat the Duke for any Disobedience the girl claimed that she was madly in love with AES and did not understand why he was trying to stop paying attention to her she

leaned Incredibly Close to the guy who was completely losing his head from such actions of his fake beloved and this siren ordered the Duke to remember how he tried to kill her once otherwise she would leave him all alone unable to carry out the order akeria fell at the lady's feet in despair just to reduced the amount of her rage and the hallucination of the countess's daughter only became more angry because AES could not fulfill her cruel demands the heroine herself did not even suspect all the horrors that the Duke was experiencing right now in

order to free himself that night the lady woke up very thirsty but found no one in the kitchen so she began to look for water herself the lady only knew approximately how and what was arranged in this place since she usually did not have to go down to the kitchen itself suddenly siren heard some suspicious sound that could not have been produced by any inanimate thing imagine the girl surprise when she saw eagl in front of her who had also come down for some reason Miss calmly explained to her Ally that she simply wanted a

drink after which she asked what he was doing in this place the elf admitted that he was a little hungry so he came to the kitchen in search of some small food here the chieftain's son suddenly remembered that he had a request for siren but all this time he had forgotten to talk to her since melfor felt grateful to her friend for everything she immediately prepared to listen to him with sincere interest the lady did not expect that the elf would suddenly ask her to collect for him as many newspapers as possible about the Imperial

family over the past years but miss immediately guessed that icult intended to find at least some information about the undeserved death of his sister the girl agreed to this and immediately left her friend as she hurried back to her room along the empty Corridor before she was seen imagine Serena's surprise when she suddenly saw aeria on the first floor who should have been asleep a long time ago suddenly without saying a word since he didn't notice her the guy created a magic portal and quickly and quietly disappeared into it the countess's daughter had no doubt

that she had just seen the Duke although though she was very surprised about it only now did Serena realize that the guy had not taken the sleeping pills and could well have refused them in the past days the heroine knew that the brainwashing problem would not be easy to solve but she did not think that everything would become so complicated but at least it became clear to miss why the Duke's Behavior had changed so much because he had not taken sleeping pills which he carefully concealed narrowing her eyes in suspicion the girl thought about how

many times she had already dreamed dreamed of aesu since he behaved so strangely suddenly the lady was brought out of her thoughts by her brother whom she had come to meet and she herself continued to think only about the young Duke Mikel noticed his sister's distracted State and became angry as he tried to solve the problem with their lost Brothers siren finally came to her senses and obediently began to prepare to spill her blood for this experiment with birds although Miss was prepared for the pain she still couldn't help but wince as she carefully cut

her hands with the dagger drops of such valuable and necessary blood immediately began to fall on the floor near the Ravens who absorbed it thanks to ml's spell the guy felt bad watching his sister hurt herself but he understood that they had no other choice now in the end he could not stand it any longer and asked the lady to be more careful with her wounds as he was very worried about her but the heroine knew that her elder brother was no better when it came to medicine so he could hardly help her suddenly the

crows became saturated with the blood of the countess's daughter and began to scream loudly although this time they completely obeyed their Master suddenly because the energy that was contained in them was too much the birds fell to the floor and began to recover Serena herself calmly waited for her brother to finish with the experiment as she was impatient to begin searching for her brothers but as soon as the lady opened her mouth to ask a question the guy immediately angrily asked asked her not to distract him from such an important process the heroine immediately realized

that she had only one way out of this situation so she made the cutest face possible Mikel was unable to ignore his sister's Behavior no matter how hard he tried to restrain himself eventually the guy stopped being angry and nodded giving the girl permission to ask him anything she wanted when he heard that the lady needed a device that monitored teleports he immediately refused because he did not want to lose it Miss guessed that the guy would resist fiercely so she showed him her sweet face again so that he would not be so angry no

matter how much the Elder one didn't want to he couldn't resist his sister's charm so he gradually began to give in then siren said that she could very well increase the guy share in her Minds since she knew that he was still interested in them as a result Mikel agreed and that same night the heroine went to follow the Duke who had gone somewhere again the countess's daughter could not even imagine what ages was doing at such a late hour so she tried not to lose him suddenly the lady noticed that the guy seemed to

be talking to someone although there was absolutely no one around him here he concentrated and easily teleported to some place which was only to Miss's Advantage this time because she took the device the girl took out the device with excitement because she understood that she only had one try so there was no room for error siren concentrated and commanded the orb to follow a Kia so that they could easily find him despite the distance immediately after this the lady was transported to a place previously unknown to her upon stepping onto the territory of which her

boots clanked pitifully Miss knew from rumors that this place was nothing but chaos and lawlessness since good people did not go in this direction Sirena looked around and realized that she had ended up in an alley with various kinds of entertainment establishments all she knew was that this place was a Gathering Place for terrible people and she couldn't understand what aeria could have forgotten in such establishments since the device worked without interruption and showed the guy's path the girl decided to find him and find out everything soon Serena had to go into one of the

bars the owner of which lazily informed her that they were already closed but the trail that marked aeria LED upward so melfor couldn't just turn around and go back she approached the man who was clearly unhappy that The Unwanted client had not yet left his establishment taking advantage of the fact that the owner did not expect anything bad from her the heroine hit him on the back of the head with all her might knocking him out after which the girl ran as quickly as possible to the second floor and almost immediately saw AIS who was

sitting in the center of the hall next to him was again that red-haired girl whom Serena had seen in the Duke's company the last time but what frightened the countess's daughter most of all was that she did not recognize any of the men around her her but she saw that they were Bandits just as Miss was about to leave aah suddenly asked if the man who was hiding from them really hoped to remain unnoticed the heroine shuddered in surprise since she was sure that she had hidden all traces of her presence well but then something

hit the door behind which the lady was hiding with a dull thud and turning around she saw with horror someone's hand in blood the same red-haired girl laughed and hit the guy who was trying to escape then turned to everyone else before siren could even comprehend what was happening a series of brutal and endless murders of people began before her eyes the countess's daughter understood that she urgently needed to run but her legs refused to obey the Miss and she froze in place Serena could never have imagined that the young Duke would participate in something

like this so she bent over in horror suddenly the guy saw the girl which surprised him incredibly because he didn't know that she would suddenly decide to follow him melfor realized that it was too late to run away so she attacked her friend first and asked what he was doing in such a scary place the Duke was clearly at a loss when asked such direct questions as he was not at all prepared to talk about what was happening aeria red-haired partner looked curiously at the door after her friends not even wiping the blood from her

face here she could not resist and ran up to siren because she recognized her as her mistress's daughter which immediately made her delighted the heroin shuddered internally when she discovered that the girl had grabbed her hands with her bloody fingers but the assistant was not at all upset but only moved away a little and said that her name was Zelda the heroine immediately guessed that this was her mother's maid a sign to AIS for some reason although there was no need for this the lady wanted to know what was going on even more so she

asked the red-haired girl to leave her and the Duke alone as soon as she left Miss immediately became much more serious and and asked acaria to explain to her what was going on around her the guy was sad to admit that he couldn't tell the girl anything because he wasn't ready for it Serena did not lose her head and came closer to her friend asking him to repeat this phrase again just as confidently realizing that her words were not working the Miss abruptly changed tactics and pretended to be furious at the Duke's refusals the girl

said that she was giving aeria one last chance to stay with her and this greatly surprised the young gentleman the heroine understood that it was cruel to manipulate AG's like this but she had no other choice since she wanted to know the truth with tears in his eyes the guy began to plaintively beg the girl not to leave him since he still had feelings for her then the siren screamed again that if the Duke did not want to be left alone he would have to tell her the whole truth realizing that he could really lose

his beloved the young man almost cried and said that he had been wrong all this time unable to contain himself the guy burst into tears and hugged Serena tightly asking her to never speak like that again in her life the heroin thought sadly that she had caused moral harm to her friend but she did not know how to convince such stubborn people in any other way so in the end kneeling down in front of the lady AIS began to tell the miss about everything he had been doing lately he admitted that count as melfor belonged

to a secret Guild but always kept the Duke close by just in case for some unknown reason The Guild suddenly began stealing goods from The Madam and she decided to deal with it after hearing all this Serena asked menacingly since when akaria had stopped taking the sleeping pills that had been prescribed to him and the Duke sighing heavily admitted that he had not taken the sleeping pills from the very beginning since the Countess had called him that same night the lady saw how much remorse the guy felt and therefore asked what exactly they were talking

about then as she began to worry the heroin didn't even suspect that her mother had come up with some kind of Engagement which she didn't even think to tell her own daughter about only now did Miss realize that the reason why AIS had once tried to kill her was precisely because the Countess had angered him for the first time the girl thought about what she knew about aeria because it turned out that she had missed too much about him Serena experienced emotional pain when she realized that she had been foolishly ignorant for a long time

but the Duke tried to console his friend hugging her tenderly and telling her that he alone was to blame for everything that happened however the lady shook her head as she believed that her mother alone was responsible for everything upon hearing this ajs again refused to give any additional comments as he did not want to go against the Countess Miss looked closely at her friend's face and realized that he was already feeling bad so it was worth stopping the interrogation for now she gently stroked the boy's cheek and asked him to stop crying saying that

now everything would definitely be better than before as they passed by the red head she noticed with a smile that AIS had a face as if he had been crying siren informed Zelda that they were leaving at this point so she wouldn't be able to talk to akerna now and would have to accept it after which the heroine tried to take the Duke away as quickly as possible so that no one else would notice his condition suddenly the guy slowed down after a few minutes which surprised the girl since outwardly he was completely fine he

explained that he had experienced side effects from the medication so miss began looking for a place to rest suddenly Serena felt that AIS was again pulling her somewhere to the side instead of following her she found that the boy had become much worse as he began to beg to be killed rather than continue to be tortured only now did the heroine realize that aeria had seen the hallucinations that iel had once mentioned no matter what the lady said the guy didn't feel any better although he was still a able to concentrate his Gaze on her

suddenly the guy again took a few steps away from the Miss declaring that everything she told him was indeed true the girl was very frightened when she saw that the Duke had gone completely mad and had pointed a blade at himself deciding to die in this way in horror siren rushed to her friend and grabbed the tip of the knife just to save him from such a huge mistake she begged him to believe that she was real but AES only continued to cry and beg him to let him go akeria opened his eyes wide and

told him that his beloved was dying right in front of him over and over again and he could do nothing all that was left for the countess's daughter to do was to continue to grip the blade tightly just so the boy wouldn't use it after a few minutes the Duke finally came to his senses and immediately began to ask the lady for forgiveness for his terrible act that same evening one wounded guy was being bandaged carelessly by his friend which is why he constantly complained of pain as a result the second magician was very angry

about this and he tightened the bandages even more although this was undesirable for the patient pen turned sharply to his Ally and explained that he was not pretending but actually felt pain in response the dark-haired man stated that no one asked his friend to seek out any Adventures on his own and try to complete missions here the blue-haired magician switched and remembered the thing he brought so he asked Raquel about it the guy immediately remembered what had caught his attention so much since he had seen something like this for the first time the thing is

he was badly hurt when he was hit by the explosion created by siren in a desperate attempt to escape imagine the boy's surprise when he suddenly found a piece of paper with drops of blood of the girl he had heard a lot about pean couldn't pass by such a wonderful find so he immediately carefully picked up the leaf to keep the blood on it although the magician had to be content with only this he was still incredibly glad that he managed to find at least something but he had so little strength left that the guy

didn't immediately remember that he needed to do a blood test Raquel did this work himself at the request of a friend as he himself was interested in everything that was happening and the results surprised him so much that he excitedly asked whose blood was on the sheet but pienne was in no hurry to reveal all his knowledge to his ally since such information was too valuable to them that Rael admitted that it was the first time in his life that he had seen such blood since it was oversaturated with magical energy the guy said that

a person with such blood could well become the one that peen had been looking for for so many years for his experiments as soon as the blue-haired man jumped up joyfully his friend again demanded answers that the magician did not want to give suddenly from behind a half openen door in the corridor assistants began shouting that they had huge problems so Rael had to postpone interrogating peen for a while because CEST Mel for's Sons had somehow escaped the guy was terribly unhappy that the servants themselves couldn't deal with just two guys when he was suddenly

told that the twins had entered the forbidden zone The Magician's eyes widened in Surprise and horror Raquel was very scared because he knew very well how much trouble the long stay of the hostages in this area could bring him so he shouted for pien not to go anywhere and he himself ran as quickly as possible to the territory where few people walked although he initially had an agreement with the Countess According to which the twins could not be injured the magician did not think about it now at this point Karen was dragging maxion on his

back with great difficulty and had no idea where exactly they had ended up no matter how much the guy looked around he only became more confused because everything around him looked the same and scary in an attempt to escape the twin used Magic and was greatly surpris surprised when he realized that he had accidentally teleported along with his brother only now Karen's strength was running out because he had been wandering through the dark labyrinths for quite some time suddenly the boy heard the screams of people trying to catch them and he gritted his teeth at

how quickly they succeeded but when the Twin looked forward he saw only one person but a huge amount of energy emanated from him meanwhile maxian still hadn't come to his senses and couldn't help his brother in this difficult battle battle with the stranger however Karen was not going to give up so easily so he prepared for battle wanting to do everything to avoid losing the next morning when Serena woke up she felt that for some reason it was very uncomfortable for her to lie down although the bed was soft imagine the girl's surprise when turning

her head to the side she discovered the young Duke right next to her at the same time the guy looked at her with an incredibly innocent look although for some reason their hands were tightly tied with scarves Serena did not tolerate such impudence so she immediately asked aeria why they were lying together in such a position at the same time the lady waved her hand expressively immediately showing what exactly she didn't like about what was happening then the guy said that the Miss herself asked for it and she began to try to remember what exactly

happened yesterday the heroine managed to realized that she was so exhausted that aesu had to carry her home in his arms himself and it was in state of half sleep that Miss asked her friend not to leave her so that they would wake up together acaria promised that he would definitely stay close but the lady did not believe a single word of the Duke then almost asleep Serena quietly whispered that the guy would somehow prove to her the sincerity of his promises and so ages came up with this solution to the problem because it was

proof that he had never gone anywhere the heroine was completely shocked by what exactly the guy came up with since she clearly had something else in mind and the Duke himself was extremely pleased with his invention so he smiled sweetly and innocently at his beloved next to whom he was able to sleep but the countess's daughter was so embarrassed that she did not appreciate this gesture at all and asked to be untied in response the guy gently hugged the girl and asked if they could stay next to each other in this position for a little

while longer at the same time the Duke deliberately fell onto the bed pulling the lady down with him with which only made her even more embarrassed but Serena suddenly noticed that AIS was smiling sincerely for the first time in a long time so she immediately forgave him for almost everything the girl accidentally whispered that she was always ready to communicate with a Kera like this and he asked if this was a proposal this way of putting the question surprised the heroine greatly since she had not thought about anything like that at all when she expressed

her thoughts as a result the lady became even more angry and demanded that AIS finally untie her and end this whole circus somewhat upset akaria explained that he was simply fulfilling the Miss's request but she asked him to stop making excuses after which siren asked how her friend was feeling and he immediately smiled as he liked to see her concern for him the girl sadly guessed that aesu liked this kind of attention because he hadn't received any at all as a child at that moment the Duke accidentally remembered what kind of images he sometimes had

which made him instantly embarrassed and blush Serena was very surprised when her friend suddenly jumped up from his seat saying that he had important business a Kia himself could barely come to his senses despite the fact that he had run a lot and was quite physically exhausted in the end the guy reminded himself that it would be a good idea to wash up so he undressed right in front of the mirror and examined himself a stain was gradually spreading on his chest which was a consequence of poisoning from the poison that the CEST had recently

given him however AES did not regret at all that he drank it then because by doing so he delayed the wedding of his beloved with another the guy was much more tired of the fact that every time he drank the medicine the magic seemed to turn him inside out but he wasn't going to give up because he was ready to endure a lot for Serena's sake just so long as no one would touch her so right now the Duke was worried that yesterday the girl accidentally saw Zelda who would definitely tell the Countess everything acaria

knew full well that the lady could be in danger if she found out about the deal he had made with her mother and the heroine herself at that moment was carefully thinking about how she should act so as not to arouse her mother's suspicions the Miss had had a letter lying on her desk for some time but she did not know exactly how to continue it Serena was worried that Zelda would definitely tell the Countess about their meeting which could interfere with her so melfor decided to write to her mother first and tell her everything

just to maintain the illusion of loyalty she said that she noticed how AES disappeared every night so she decided to follow him and find out everything after which the heroine pretended to be very surprised that her own Mother's maid was with the Duke the girl remembered that her mother had sent her to the aceria estate only to watch The Duke so she played such a role having finished the letter the lady frowned again because AZ had once again disappeared somewhere and had not even told her anything suddenly a maid entered the young lady's room and

asked if she needed anything which greatly distracted her from her thoughts this turned out to be very timely since Serena had prepared something for the Duke so she asked her assistant to pass it on the heroine was sure that after this message aeria would simply not dare not come to her so she smiled mysteriously here the maid reported that she had prepared everything that the mistress had asked her for earlier which only made the Miss even happier passing by the library the heroine suddenly discovered eul sleeping in it so she could not help but approach

him in order not to wake the guy up too abruptly the lady carefully touched his head and gently stroked his hair after which the Miss asked what the elf was doing so hard that he ended up falling asleep right at the library table in fact Miss was looking for a friend in order to give him the newspapers that he had recently asked her to collect in order to read about his sister this pleased EOL most of all and he immediately began to study the information since he was very interested in it Serena said that it

was easy for her to do such little things for her friend so he could continue to turn to her the elf thanked the girl when suddenly he noticed that her hand was even more bandaged so he asked what happened but the heroin wasn't ready to talk about what happened so she turned away and lied that she had just Fallen recently hiding her hands behind her back the girl tried to distract ult so she asked him to answer one question better the elf asked if the matter concern that guy and the lady immediately confirmed it because

it was indeed about Duke aeria she reported that he began to see hallucinations and the Ally immediately guessed that a had not even started taking sleeping pills the heroine nodded briefly and added that the guy sees hallucinations on a regular basis and not only after taking the medicine hearing this EOL muttered Darkly that everything was much worse than he could have originally imagined the lady asked with concern what this could mean and what op there were to correct this difficult problem the elf seriously said that either he had not chosen the right medicine or the

young Duke had already gone mad these words hit Serena hard because she was afraid of something like this more than anything in the world although she could not fix it and a kelt added that his medicine only helped in cases of simple brainwashing but could not cure Madness the cis's daughter froze in complete shock as she did not know what to do if AIS had really lost his mind the elf reported that since aeria had remained Under the Influence until now he had quite a bit of willpower melfor herself suspected something similar but this did

not console her in any way in this situation so the Miss barely answered anything but the blonde was not so frightened since the first thing he wanted to do was to rid the young Duke of the influence of amalan if successful akeria had a chance to throw off the chains that held him back and make his own decisions about his life although siren was very very sad she was able to find the strength to thank her friend because he had done a lot for her realizing that the girl was very upset EOL remembered that there

was one herb that could help the heroine immediately latched onto these words because she was ready to do anything just to help the young Duke but the lady didn't expect that the elf would suddenly depict that very grass on a piece of paper in such a terrible way so although the elf himself was pleased with the work done the Mist did not know how exactly she could look for the necessary ingredient without a name melfor knew perfectly well that with such drawings no salesman would be able to distinguish a weed from a medicinal plant then

the countess's daughter went to Extreme Measures and suggested that eal go with her in search of this herb the chieftain's son was visibly surprised since he had always believed that he should never have left the akeria state the lady knew that problems could only arise if her mother found out about her Ally but they could walk around carefully so siren smiled wickedly and informed her assistant that they would carefully disguise him before going out having asked her assistance to dress the guy up the girl began to prepare for the walk on her own and was

satisfied suddenly when she was about to return to eal AIS burst into her room loudly throwing open the door imagine the heroine's surprise when the Duke declared that the lady could not go for a walk on the orders of her terrible mother only a few seconds later Serena remembered with horror that she herself had written a fake letter to aeria about some meeting with her fiance but the countess's daughter could not miss such a wonderful opportunity to make fun of the guy who left her alone Ages was now extremely serious but even this expression on

his face did not stop the lady from her jokes so melfor without explaining anything to the Duke said that she simply had to go although she had no fiance to this the girl declared that she must marry someday with shocked the poor young Duke even more realizing that the jokes had gone too far since the guy had even blocked the exit siren still took pity on him but when Miss tried to explain everything to akeria he was so excited that he constantly interrupted her and did not let her tell everything only a few minutes later

the heroine was able to admit with a sigh that she had simply lied to her friend about her meeting with her fiance but for some reason AES didn't believe the lady's words as he continued to forbid her from going for a walk the countess's daughter did not expect that everything would reach such a difficult situation that she would not be able to easily resolve the girl shuddered when she realized that the guy's trust in her was actually so low and insignificant the guy himself didn't believe until the very end that the Miss was really just

going to buy some medicinal herbs with EOL with the same serious face he declared that the girl was beautiful in any outfit and therefore he could not think about anything else clutching her hands to her chest the lady with tears in her voice apologized for her joke admitting that she was simply bored only after this did the Duke melt a little although he still asked again whether Serena had really lied to him about the groom approaching his beloved the guy hugged her tightly and said that he would never want to lose her for anything in

the world which is why he behaved like that although the heroine understood that she had gone too far with her inventions she told the guy with a grin that he was also to blame for what happened in response AIS asked Miss never to joke like that again as he was even ready to take more serious measures the lady wanted to ask her friend more details but noticed that she was already late so she hurried to meet icult however before she could leave the Duke grabbed his beloved's hand again trying not to hurt her he asked

again if the girl was really going shopping and Serena offered to go with him to the heroin surprise akaria smiled happily and immediately agreed to this idea which she said frivolously not wanting to upset the guy now the Miss only squeezed his hand tighter allowing the Duke to walk with her to get the medicine however Serena could not even imagine that this innocent idea of hers could result in such a difficult situation for some reason AIS not only sat next to her but also kept his eyes on the Miss with a joyful smile but what

melfor was most worried about now was ecult who had been silently looking out the window the entire way and not paying attention to anyone Serena had no idea what to do with the fact that both guys were completely ignoring each other even though she tried to reconcile them however until they arrived in the city until AIA helped her out of the carriage the lady could only sigh sadly the elf still saying almost nothing went straight to the herbal store to find the one he needed the guy only had a drawing on paper which he himself

had done rather imprecisely but he still wanted to use it but when the elf showed the sketches to the Sellar he almost immediately understood what exactly this strange client needed but the merchant did not want to help so he pointed to the side and suggested that the guests take everything they needed themselves looking at the herbs eal clicked his tongue in displeasure because they were mercilessly rotting on the floor and were also of poor quality so the chieftain's son took siren by the hand and led her away from this place which he did not trust

at all the elf stated with certainty that this store would not last long and would soon go bankrupt so he did not want to be here but the heroine hardly listened to her Ally since she was much more concerned about the fact that his behavior had greatly angered aeria Miss slowed down and took her hand back as she decided to think of something to prevent AES from beating the elf out of jealousy she looked around and quickly came up with an excuse that would make the young Duke disappear for a while the girl turned to

her friend and seriously asked him to buy her some tasty and interesting dessert it worked and aeria immediately switched from anger to caring for his beloved who wanted something sweet Serena smiled kindly and lied that she wanted to try the desserts of a popular store but they were too far away then AJ's immediately jumped up because he really wanted to please the lady who rarely asked him for anything having gotten rid of the duuk for a while the countess's daughter turned to ecult and said that they could go on suddenly the heroine heard a voice

behind her that she would prefer never to notice again in her life it turned out that the princess had met her by chance and recognized her so she decided to come up and talk to her friend ult's eyes clouded over with Incredible anger when he saw a man from the Imperial family right in front of him and the emperor's daughter herself began a sweet and polite conversation with the important Aristocrat since she was Curious by Nature Serena quickly noticed how pale the elf had become so she began trying to end the conversation as quickly as

possible suddenly the princess folded her fan as she became very interested in the handsome servant who was following the countess's daughter melfor immediately realized that the girl had taken ult for a servant since he was dressed in appropriate clothes so she didn't deny it because it was much easier to say goodbye to the curious person faster mean the princess noticed that the guy was poorly trained since he didn't even greet her during all this time the emperor's daughter became very interested in the assistant who was so ill-mannered that he did not even ask her for

forgiveness the heroine thought with alarm about what she should do in such a situation since it was precisely such things that she always tried to avoid suddenly the fair-haired lady asked if Serena could give her this servant as she could easily teach him the necessary manners but melfor would never be able to do such a thing so she refused which obviously greatly surprised the proud princess narrowing her eyes in Anger she declared that no one had ever dared to insult the Imperial family so brazenly before siren declared that she would teach the assistant a lesson

herself since she was his owner once again clicking her fan in displeasure the emperor's daughter asked if she could buy this handsome servant this attitude immediately angered the elf even more who already hated these people to the depths of his soul the heroine remembered that the princess had always been famous for being partial to everything beautiful and trying to collect such things but miss couldn't allow this to happen so she stood in front of her friend and confidently said that he belonged only to her family although Serena did not like her last name it was

very significant in the circles and gave her more opportunities just in case the girl added that there had been a mistake and that the guy was not a slave so he could not be sold in response the princess immediately asked for forgiveness but melfor saw in her eyes that she still wanted to get the elf for herself the heroine carefully watched the emperor's daughter as she walked away as she wanted to make sure that she was gone and right behind the lady ult angrily whispered that he sincerely hated the entire Imperial family so much so

that he could barely contain his anger imagine the surprise of the chieftain's son when he suddenly heard from Serena that she completely shared all his emotions and the countess's daughter herself smiled happily because she felt much better when she admitted something like that the girl then looked around and showed her Ally another store they could visit in search of medicine when they managed to buy everything Serena saw AIS running towards her and realized with horror that she had completely forgotten about him since she herself sent the guy to buy Suites for her the lady had

to continue playing the role of the person who wanted all this aeria was was extremely pleased with himself as he was able to buy the most delicious desserts that were available in that popular shop imagine the heroin surprise when the Duke announced that he had completely bought the store so that she could eat sweets at any time returning to the estate the lady thought about this situation with great difficulty as she understood that after his release the guy would not try so hard in the meantime he even made sure that Serena didn't accidentally catch a

cold due to a very slight drop temperature then the lady remembered that she had written a letter for her mother so she decided to show it to ECA just in case she explained that she wanted their versions of what happened to be completely consistent and for the CEST not to suspect anything but as soon as the guy took the letter in his hands the girl noticed with surprise that for some reason his face darkened the whole point was that the guy felt guilty for not being himself that day which is why they had so many

problems hearing this ser asked if the Duke regretted that she had followed him and found him that night AIS nodded sadly and the lady gently stroked his head asking him not to hide anything so that she would not hate him after which the Miss asked if she could send the letter and aerne agreed that the girl had come up with a good version in response the countess's daughter smiled and asked her friend to tell her why he had been going to her mother all this time the Duke was silent for a while as it was

difficult for him to remember everything that had happened happened and talk about it again eventually the guy slowly began to tell that he was involved in slave trade matters that urgently needed to be resolved and at the same time he partially took out his anger on all the guilty ones which is why his clothes quickly became saturated with the smell of blood the guy understood perfectly well that siren would hardly like the smell of blood on him so he decided to try to get rid of it but before he could return to the estate the

Countess unexpectedly called him conveying a message through one of her assistants AIS guessed that he would have to go down to the hallucination room but now he was much calmer about it it was in this place that the Countess was waiting for him who noticed that the Duke began to look better when Serena began to live on his estate Madam said that aeria should be grateful for the fact that she did not try to take his daughter away from him the guy understood perfectly well that a woman could do this because once a girl had

already been hidden from him and then he thought that he might well go crazy so he fell at the feet of the Countess just so that they would return his beloved to him so from then on the Duke tried to listen to the woman in everything and she suddenly said that there was a new task for him Aus didn't object to this at all so he immediately asked what exactly he would need to do for Madame and she said with a smile that she would give the guy medicine every few days which he would have

to drink immediately showing a small bottle the contents of which raised many questions and doubts Madame asked asked whether he would take it akeria had no other choice so he meekly agreed to obey the Countess no matter what happened to him to prove the sincerity of his words the Duke immediately opened the bottle in front of his beloved mother intending to drink it but as soon as the guy did this his whole body was pierced by a sharp and unbearable pain that could not be compared to anything AES didn't even hold the bottle in his

hands and it fell to the floor with a loud clang and broke into small pieces but now the didn't care at all because almost the entire space before his eyes was swimming when he more or less came to his senses he discovered with horror that the CEST was standing right in front of him with a bloody sword almost immediately after this akeria felt pain in his left side realizing that it was he who had been injured for some reason Madame was clearly very exhausted but did not explain anything to the Duke only sent him back

to the estate arriving at his home the Duke met Serena who seemed unusually sweet to him this time the heroine was greatly confused when she heard from her friend that this was his last memory of that day the girl had no idea what kind of experiments her evil and cruel mother was conducting on him she was able to understand that every time AIS tried to kill her he was actually just completely out of his mind but the lady did not find out any more information which worried her greatly because she wanted to find answers there

was no point in asking a anything else because he remembered nothing at all about what had happened as a result Serena only became more confused by the new information although she only wanted to find answers and satisfy her curiosity the next morning Miss sat down to study the newspapers about the Imperial family as she decided to help eal at least a little since they were all in the distant past and not very well preserved Miss had noticeable problems with reading Serena wished the elf hadn't read all of this since he had bad memories but she

knew her friend wouldn't listen to her anyway to take a little rest from the information about the Imperial family the lady began to read new newspapers and discovered that there was something about fascist there imagine Serena's surprise when she discovered that some of the charges against this group had somehow been dropped but now miss was more worried about the fact that the main holiday in the entire Empire was about to arrive soon suddenly the countess's daughter remembered that a was about to wake up so she got ready to go to him and at that moment

EOL had a very heavy and gloomy Dream from which he could not wake up no matter how hard he tried he continued to have a constant nightmare in which he cried loudly even as a small child because no one listened to him EOL begged with all his might not to erase his memory because the adults were simply hiding behind their stupid and unnecessary rules but the elves around confidently answered that the boy had abs absolutely nothing to fear because they would consult him on everything the chieftain's little son asked to spare him because he was

afraid to go through all the trials that were intended for him but the old man lit a fire and said that partial memory eraser was not as terrible a procedure as the child imagined so literally in a few seconds ult's entire body was enveloped in fire which was very frightening although it did not burn the guy himself sincerely did not understand why he still had this dream which constantly made him feel so bad that day a heavy rain suddenly began to fall which almost immediately extinguished all the fire on the body of the chieftain's little

son even the Elder was very surprised by what happened because usually he never had any problems with the ritual and a kelt himself seemed to be slowly going mad from seeing this terrible picture over and over again which prevented him from sleeping normally the elf himself had no idea since when he had been having this nightmare but the dreams had started to haunt him quite recently the guy didn't want to be doomed to such dreams any longer because it was too hard for the psyche of any creature suddenly EOL heard someone's voice calling him impatiently

so he opened his eyes in complete horror right in front of him siren sat worriedly and asked if everything was okay with her friend as he looked too bad in his sleep the elf was surprised to notice that the lady had once again come to him on time but asked her not to pay attention to his condition but the countess's daughter still tried to get her friend to talk since she clearly saw that he had a real nightmare but ielt immediately skillfully changed the subject since he was not yet ready to talk to the girl

about his small problems then miss had to admit that she had brought the rest of the newspapers that the chieftain's son had once asked her about having read the information already brought the elf found out that the prince had mercilessly killed his sister and many other relatives so at that moment the guy couldn't smile and his face remained incredibly upset about everything that happened siren guessed that her Ally would not tell her anything about his emotions so she simply asked him to rest properly realizing that he would now be alone the elf wanted to ask

melfor not to leave but his throat suddenly tightened so in the end he found himself again completely alone in the room although he needed support and human warmth ult considered himself pathetic because of his suffering which tore him apart from within with Incredible and unpleasant Force he remembered the past again and realized that the current Emperor killed his sister in order to obtain the Forbidden book meanwhile the elf sincerely loved this man at whose hands she died which only made her brother even sadder however eel with tears in his eyes wondered if his sister still

loved that man since he wanted to take revenge on him unable to Bear it the boy tore the piece of paper with the ruler's face in half although even this didn't make him feel much better that same morning akeria was also in a gloomy mood since something important had disrupted all his other plans for some reason the emperor summoned the Duke to him as early as possible since he had a topic for conversation from the way the man tapped his finger on the armrest of his chair it was clear that he was Furious about something

that had happened the emperor explained that one of the prisoners of the fascist group simply disappeared after which he loudly punched his fist in anger but AES continued to insist that the guy was bad at teleportation and had almost no Mana left at that point his majesty could not bear it and shouted loudly demanding at least some kind of understandable explanation from his skilled subordinate but aeria paid no attention to the ruler's speech and only said that it was all very strange this infuriated the man so much that without thinking about the consequences he grabbed

a huge bouquet of flowers near him after which the emperor threw the vas of flowers right into the young Duke's face forgetting that he had served him Faithfully all these years whenever AES came to him the ruler became very cruel and sometimes it ended in Bloodshed and now the bloody vase fell on the floor at the GU feet and broke and drops of blood slowly began to drip after it but the Duke could do nothing about it despite his constant wounds since the emperor helped him a lot for some reason only one ruler tried his

best to support the young man while no one took him seriously in fact what his majesty needed at that moment was a strong man whom he hoped to learn to control later but the man did not even suspect that AIS had his own motives to appear obedient which is why he behaved so calmly in front of his master here the emperor calmed down a little and said that the Duke would be able to help him since there was a bell tower near his estate the guy immediately remembered the tower that siren had come to and

the ruler added that it was there that the captive magician had disappeared akeria decided to pretend that he would thoroughly look into this issue although in reality he didn't care at all he asked the ruler to prepare a highquality decoration which he intended to use later as the man began to doubt his actions the Duke with a grin promised to explore that Bell Tower in the near future only after this did his majesty release his assistant since he was at least a little convinced of his loyalty however the man looked at aeria with an extremely

suspicious and unpleasant gaze as he was afraid of him AIS felt this look and froze in place with his hand outstretched not having time to open the door to the corridor because he got angry the boy's lips twisted into a Sly grin and he explained that the ruler had nothing to worry about because everything would be under control acaria said that he would capture one of the fous members and brainwash him to find out all the valuable information about the group The Duke knew that this this method of suggestion could be used in various ways

and even without the countess's candles the guy remembered very well that there was another person from the group who was Left Alive because he was too weak and even now the magician looked at his future Tormentor with horror which meant that it would be easy to subdue him the poor guy's brain was almost giving into the torture as his eyes were dilated and tears were constantly flowing from them AES was going to use this Mage for as long as possible so that he himself would not suspect that he was so suggestable remembering all this now

the Duke suddenly froze in the middle of the corridor and whispered that he missed his beloved very much meanwhile the guy that aeria had worked so well on returned to his comrades who were surprised it was easy to tell from his eyes that something was clearly wrong but few people paid any attention to this magician the Allies only began to once again scold their friend whom they treated with extreme disdain because of his weakness they ordered the guy to do something useful without even asking if he was okay after his escape from prison and the

magician shouted that he had come across the trail of the girl they needed so he could try to quickly lead everyone else to her he clasped his hands with excitement and whispered that he was to blame for everything that was happening to him but he could try to atone for his guilt this statement greatly surprised the members of the group who had never expected anything from their weakest and most stupid comrade and the magician himself under the influence of aeria brought his hands together in front of him showing that he would definitely get to that

valuable girl in his head she was already like a real puppet who would obediently follow him wherever he went the guy was gasping for breath from the thoughts that were quickly spinning in his head as his Consciousness was clouded he only remembered that if he disappointed his master he would be left without teeth which he was very afraid of because of the pain at that moment the Countess received a report that the magic circle was almost broken and she had been so diligently building it for several years the woman chuckled angrily as she refused to

believe that her children who had accidentally escaped from the group were to blame for everything she asked Raquel if he wasn't responsible for the twins escaping and the boy couldn't say anything in his defense before he could say a few words Madam struck him furiously on the shoulder as she could hardly contain her anger looking angrily straight into the eyes of her assistant the CEST demanded that he not make any more mistakes only after this did The Madam slowly remove her hand from The Magician's shoulder as she was convinced that he was already sufficiently frightened

suddenly there was another loud knock on the door of the countess's room and she turned around with displeasure asking what was going on the assistant explained to the lady in an excited voice that for some reason the emperor had arrived unexpectedly which surprised even her the girl admitted that she took the man into the living room because she did not know what to talk to him about the Countess smiled because in her eyes their relationship with the ruler was no longer the same but he didn't think so so having ordered her assistant to take Raquel

Madame went to an unexpected meeting with his majesty she remembered her past when she had striven hard to reach out to the emperor in order to gain power and status for herself so although the Countess hated the ruler she still had to smile kindly at him to create the illusion of good relations the man brazenly replied that their friendship was so strong that he had no need to notify of his arrival Madame tried to be careful with his majesty because she knew that he was not an idiot despite his behavior therefore the woman was always

reserved around him because she did not know what the man had come to discuss with her this time the emperor with a joyful smile announced that he had come to tell his faithful friend the good news that he himself had recently learned the Countess allowed herself to smile slightly since she did not believe that the ruler could really please her here the man said that the members of Faus would soon be found and this terribly angered The Madame because she was part of them and at that moment Serena read a letter from mik which was

not like all the others he usually sent in it the guy wrote sadly that karon and maxion had still not been found although he had been diligently searching for them the girl guessed that she would have to find out all the details from her brother personally since he carefully handed her the letters having hidden the letter so that no one could find it the lady decided to now go to ult's room to talk to him the last time the elf seemed too pale to her but then the Mist did not dare to ask him questions

about his condition however the countess's daughter was not at peace with her concern for her friend so she knocked and hearing no answer entered the room imagine the heroin's surprise when she discovered that the guy was not sleeping sleeping but was hiding in the blanket and quietly muttering something inside E's condition at this moment clearly left much to be desired although the elf would not admit that he was really feeling bad the girl hesitantly approached her Ally trying to attract his attention but she did not dare to touch him yet however the chieftain's son abruptly

moved away from the lady and asked her to leave him alone as he would like to be alone for a while longer but Serena couldn't allow eel to continue to suffer for some unknown reason so she silently remained with him in the room but the countess's daughter had no idea what to say in such a situation so she chose to continue standing quietly finally the lady sat down near the guy's bed and clasped her hands together in excitement as she waited for him to say something first suddenly the chieftain's son asked the lady if she

was ready for aie to stop loving her if she was cured and she smiled calmly melfor knew full well that this would happen someday so she prepared herself for such a situation in advance the lady admitted that if she had not been satisfied with this ending she would not have even tried to help the young Duke get rid of his influence but the thought that aeria would continue to live like a bird in a cage made Miss feel unbearably painful then the elf asked how the girl planned to resist her mother who would definitely be

furious the heroine once again remembered the empty eyes of AG's who suffered greatly from being held captive by this strict woman from Serena's side silence EOL guessed that she didn't have a clear plan of action which only upset him more the lady clutched the sheet tightly in excitement and admitted that she had simply Gone With the Flow and had not tried to change anything the countess's daughter didn't care what happened to her after the Duke's release even if her mother tried to kill her these words greatly angered the chieftain's son so that in indignation he

suddenly threw off the blanket and grabbed the Miss by the shoulders melfor didn't expect to see that the elf was actually crying as he felt sorry for both her and himself because of this whole story the girl gently stroked the guy and asked him to tell her what exactly had been bothering him so much all this time in response the elf sadly reported that this was not the first time he had had the same terrible nightmare that left him no strength for Joy the guy felt awkward talking about this but the lady asked him to

tell everything since it was very important to her the elf asked siren in surprise to explain why she was so concerned about his problems since they were someone else's however in the end he couldn't hold back and began to tell that he constantly sees a dream about how they are trying to burn all his Memories the elf complained that the more he dreamed about all this the more it resembled reality and not just nightmares the heroine didn't expect that her Ally could have such serious problems so she stared at him with excitement but now ecult

needed understanding and not ordinary pity which was much more difficult to provide so the lady smiled slightly and suggested that the elf take a walk together but in such a way that the young Duke would not accidentally find out about it in the world of the novel there was one beautiful and sad song about how three small children were killed for a certain reason and one such child according to the song was mercilessly drowned and the second one was immediately burned on a huge fire the third one was trapped in a cave by rocks due

to an accident and no one wanted to help him get out the song also sang about other children but the most famous was the first part about the three little relatives maxian sat in the dungeon with his brother and sang this song while Karen covered his ears just so as not to hear anything else the blonde boy's eyes were empty and lifeless as he was not himself and sang the same thing over and over again but the countess's son himself did not notice what was happening now since his thoughts were completely withdrawn into himself due

to emotional stress finally Karen couldn't take it anymore and asked his brother what was wrong with him since singing was becoming impossible but at the moment maxian didn't even hear it because he was too sick to return to reality so all that was left for the dark-haired twin was to cover his ears and pray that his brother would finally come to his senses the boy remembered that his brother had started to go crazy during the Escape but at that moment he didn't have time to deal with it the young men did not managed to run

far so they were caught by some powerful magician and again imprisoned which upset Karen and this time they were locked in shackles which no matter how much the guy pulled did not loosen even a little because of their strength even the determined and self-confident Karen began to gradually give in because he had no idea what to do now he understood that he and his brother would only have any chance of escaping if Maxin somehow came to his senses besides the condition of his twins Karan was also worried about Serena since he had accidentally told their

kidnappers about her the guy could only hope that the Duke would not leave the girl and that everything would be okay with her in the end although the young man did not like AES Karen was sure that he could be relied on because he was strong but the twin could not find the same determination in himself to be able to get out together with his brother suddenly the darkhaired son of the Countess got tired of just sitting in one place so he jumped up and screamed loudly in frustration at that moment a small knife which

in fact did not belong to him at all accidentally fell out of the guy's pocket for a moment the twin looked at this thing in confusion as he had completely forgotten that he still had it memories of how he had gotten this blade without even asking for such a favor surfaced in his brother's mind after escaping the blue-haired Mage gave this blade to Karen and told him to think for himself how to use it the guy couldn't immediately understand why the enemy even decided to help him but he didn't dare resist only now did the

twin remember that P had said that it was a key so the young man picked up the blade with interest but its blade couldn't even cut the chain so Karen didn't see much point in this item suddenly it dawned on the guy that the magician had offered him to die since that was the only option that could be achieved with the blade while Maxin continued to sing a terrible song about dead children his twin carefully examined the gifted weapon at that moment the heroine together with eel was sitting in the theater and listening to the

same song since the production was about this story everyone in the Empire knew this story about children who from childhood possessed real black magic and for a long time the ruler was afraid of all such magicians so in all the cities they tried to destroy such children the first child in the family was drowned in water because this was one of the ways to kill such a strong person the second one was burned alive which was a horrible death but the baby resisted very much so he was punished the third child was accidentally buried under

rocks and the residents simply left him there to die deciding not to help and few people spoke about the last fourth baby but according to rumors of History he was eventually taken by the Devil Himself the girl listened to this song with sadness because every time it brought her genuine horror and fear for some reason it was at this moment that the lady remembered her escaped brothers and hoped that everything would be okay with them deciding to take a little break the M turned to the chieftain's son and asked if he liked the play they

had come to see the guy nodded and siren agreed that this setup was better than just sitting in the room all day suddenly the elf whispered uncertainly that the play was a little depressing because of its sad and dark theme eal had the impression that all Mages with forbidden magic were terrible people but he still sympathized with them the countess's daughter did not expect that this production would cause such mixed emotions in the elf who did not like people and the guy suddenly said that it was impossible to hate someone just because he was different

from others by Nature only now did the girl herself notice that from the outside everything that was happening looked like a cruel Witch Hunt if any of the dark magicians refused to follow the emperor's orders he was immediately condemned to death however after just a few minutes the lady just wanted to sleep so she asked her friend to wake her up at the end EOL asked if Serena hadn't been interested and she admitted that she had expected a more fun show so finally closing her eyes the girl whispered that next time they would visit something

else these words made the elf smile warmly so he just nodded because he himself wanted to walk with his friend at least once more during her sleep the countess's daughter suddenly saw the Duke who was clearly very angry with her for something finally the guy suddenly moved closer and grabbed the lady by the throat but instead of pain she felt only a burning heat suddenly Miss really felt as if she was about to burn alive which made her very scared and she woke up abruptly imagine the heroine surprise when opening her eyes she saw that

everything around her was gradually burning brighter and brighter looking down siren discovered that while she was sleeping a real fire had somehow started downstairs looking back back melfor realized that the elf was frozen in shock so he did nothing all this time the countess's daughter ran up to her friend and began trying to bring him to his senses as they urgently needed to leave but EOL didn't move from his place no matter what the lady tried to tell him because he was completely lost in his thoughts the girl even raised her voice in panic because

she understood that she did not have enough strength to get her friend out of the theater on her own suddenly the elf pushed siren away shouting that she should never try to come near him again after which the guy ran in an unknown direction as fast as he could and the lady would not be able to catch up with him but miss couldn't allow herself to lose her friend so she immediately chased after him trying to catch him carefully and gently however as a result they both fell to the floor and hit each other which

at least brought the elf back to his senses a little Serena's hand was shaking with worry and this did not escape the notice of EOL who had accident L caused this stress looking straight at his girlfriend the chieftain's son suddenly admitted that he remembered how to get rid of the brainwashing the heroine froze in shock when she heard about this because initially the elf said that he didn't remember much about the treatment but before explaining anything to the girl ult suggested that they still get out of this dangerous and hot place already on the way

the guy began his story by saying that once upon a time a very rare and Powerful book was stolen from his village it was difficult for the chieftain's son to accept the fact that the thief was his own sister who had already died at the hands of the emperor the lady already knew part of this story but she could not calmly see how much eagl was suffering because of it what frightened the countess's daughter most was that this story was recognized as the bloodiest Massacre of all time it was after this terrible incident that the

bonds between humans and elves were finally broken due to Injustice it still hurt the elf to think about how his sister had fought for her life in the very last moments after which he explained that he had also seen that same book but his memories had been forcibly erased as a child this nightmare still tormented the guy which is why even now he could not stand it and tightly clenched his fists because of the painful Memories the heroine only now realized that it was this traumatic situation that was now so much interfering with the leader's

son's life almost reaching the end of the long Corridor in the the the elf said that only now for some reason he remembered the contents of that book he took a deep breath to gather his strength and told the lady that it was written there precisely about brainwashing this information surprised the girl to the depths of her soul since she had not heard about it in the original novel and a kelt was now absolutely sure that this was how the girl's mother had Brainwashed the young Duke but it remained a mystery to him how this

woman was able to obtain the knowledge of the Elven race at all however absolutely everything indicated that the Countess was a close friend of the emperor which is why she was able to obtain this book Serena even started to sweat from the realization of how much everything was twisted and she didn't even suspect it that night a gentleman who was good at dark Deeds unexpectedly received a letter from CEST melfor the man immediately recognized the envelope and realized that it was urgent only because of the neat black packaging and red seal he couldn't wait for

the moment when Madame would start to release her claws and spikes again of which she had many and at that moment the Countess herself could not get her last conversation with the ruler who considered her a friend out of her head the woman could barely contain her Sly Smile as she wanted to destroy all of his Majesty's dreams associated with her as soon as possible she specifically wrote to her secret assistant about the emperor's plans so that he could interfere with it a little the cice remembered that the rule was quite strong so it would

be much easier to deal with him if he weakened meanwhile Madame continued to carefully monitor the actions of the young Duke in order to be prepared she suddenly learned that Mikel was plotting something with Serena so she gave the order for her daughter to return immediately at this moment the heroine was trying to come to her senses after getting out of the fire and learning new information from ecult the girl clenched her hands tightly barely noticing it because she was too worried about what what else her mother might be up to one of the servants

approached the lady to bandage the wounds and she bore it stoically which made him respect the girl more but Serena didn't have time for such adoration now so she tried to send him in the other direction meanwhile people around were desperately trying to put out the fire which was only growing stronger with each passing minute while the servants were putting out the fire the aristocrats began to gossip about who exactly was to blame melfor hated this talk but she knew there was nothing she could do to stop something like this from spreading so the lady

was distracted by EOL and asked him to tell her more about the method of cleansing from brainwashing the elf immediately reported that it was a mixture of black magic and medicine so it was a really complicated matter the Forbidden book that the chieftain's son's sister stole even described methods of using influence with candles the book warned that trying to control someone else's Soul was bad and could greatly affect the subject of the influence the whole situation had to be kept under control at all times otherwise the person being brainwashed could break the shackles listening attentively

to the elf the lady unconsciously pressed her hands to her chest which immediately revealed her excitement about this situation and the guy explained that they should have hurry and saved AI before it was too late for him to do anything in response the girl anxiously asked what they should have done to help the Duke and not harm him with their desires here thinking about who exactly could save a from brainwashing the lady suddenly remembered Juliana siren understood that she could very well use that girl but she didn't know whether she should even kill her later

here suddenly EOL confidently placed his hand on the shoulder of the countess's daughter having something to say about this situation the guy said that he knew where the magic formula was thanks to which it would be possible to somehow try to save aeria the heroin realized that out of of Despair she had just allowed herself to have terrible thoughts but she shouldn't have done that the elf meanwhile explained that this thing was extremely important for the Black magicians so it was probably in their Lair the lady realized that the more she learned about brainwashing medicine

and her mother the more confused she became about what was happening Miss could no longer even remember exactly what was written in the original regarding influencing the young Duke since Juliana took up little space in the original every she said was considered true even if it was not misunderstood that she would not be able to penetrate the enemy's Lair alone so she still needed a saint for this imagine the girl's surprise when EOL suddenly said with regret that Juliana would not be able to rid AIS of influence the heroine froze in place for a moment

because in the original everything was exactly the opposite and the saint helped but no matter how hard siren looked into the elf's eyes she could not find even one hint of a lie in them so in the end the countess's daughter was completely confused and asked what she should do in this difficult situation the guy silently hugged the lady and she only now realized that she had relied too heavily on the original story all this time when suddenly Miss heard the suppressed and angry voice of AES who should not have been here the guy somehow

ended up a few meters away and angrily asked what they were doing together Serena visibly shuddered afraid to turn to face aeria although in fact she had not done anything bad just now then the Duke repeated his question and also asked why the boy and girl were hugging each other since friends rarely do that but melfor didn't have the strength to resolve this misunderstanding now so she walked past A's and told him that he was mistaken the lady managed to glance at aeria out of the corner of her eye and for some reason she almost

immediately felt much better than before as soon as the girl returned to the mansion she immediately had to urgently resolve work matters and write letters meanwhile the heroine was worried that everything around her was beginning to differ more and more from the original story these thoughts did not give the lady any peace as she really wanted to find answers and solutions to her questions Miss suggested that the magic circle formula might have already been destroyed at the time Juliana helped AIS but still the Saints influence on the plot was too mysterious for the heroine since

something was clearly missing so the girl had to strain her memory well to rummage through the plot of the novel In Search of new Clues but then akaria sat down next to her with displeasure and demanded an explanation as to why his beloved was hugging someone else in response the countess's daughter asked if the boy himself was tired of worrying about such stupid things every time he saw them AES suddenly approached the girl and stood behind her after which he whispered that he really did feel tired after which he gently pressed himself against the lady's

back and asked her to take more care and think about him so that he would be pleased the heroine did not expect that the guy would suddenly ask her for attention once again since she herself was worried about something else meanwhile as soon as she turned to the Duke their lips began to come dangerously closer to each other with every second suddenly the maid at the door announced that the mistress had received a letter and this made Serena jump up sharply and head towards her however the heroine did not suspect that aeria would come after

her to find out who was sending letters at such a time but what scared miss most was that it was a message from her mother who ordered her to return back to her native estate at exactly this moment somewhere in the lair of the dark magicians maxian gradually began to come to his senses after a long state of Madness the guy himself now felt that the song about dead children was not funny but for some reason the smile did not leave his face the young man noticed with his eyes some figure in front of him

who asked him to be quiet but at that moment he didn't care at all suddenly the twin suddenly smelled a strange metallic smell that shouldn't have been there imagine Max's surprise when having finally regained Consciousness he saw a huge pool of blood not far from him lay a bloody blade which had clearly not been used as peacefully as the guy would have liked the young man stared at his brother in complete shock not understanding how something like this could have happened without him even noticing noticing meanwhile Karen was sitting on the bed and around him

were huge pools of blood which could not lead to anything good in complete panic and despair Maxin began to cry sadly and began to call his brother to come to his senses and even stand up on his feet doubled over from unbearable emotional pain the guy concluded that everything that happened was his fault he only now realized that he shouldn't have dragged his brother along with him when he decided to leave home and then everything would have been fine with him but the saddest thing for the guy was that he had again lost control of

his mind which is why he unconsciously clutched the blanket imagine Max's surprise when he suddenly heard the displeased voice of his brother who was still alive he took another good look at his dark-haired twin and realized that his leg was in the worst condition Karen admitted that he wanted to make a small Gap with a knife but it didn't work and here was the result barely holding back tears maxan asked asked if his relative had decided to die instead of getting out of here the fair-haired young man had already come up with a plan According

to which the Black magicians would help his brother and he would stay alive during their escape the people around them acted as if they weren't supposed to get hurt so they'll save the guy now too all that was left for maxion was to quickly signal to the Mages that his brother needed immediate help but before he could reach the door so that he could be heard Karan suddenly called out to his relative in a languid voice the twin was haunted by the fact that his brother had once said that he did not want to die

at the hands of others so he asked to tell him the whole point was that Maxin knew the truth which he had never told anyone before because he was very afraid unlike their mother their father was a kind and loving man who once accidentally died in a fire according to the Countess but little Maxin followed his father everywhere like a little tale so he accidentally saw how his death happened it was then that the little boy was able to observe for the first time how other people's hands ended up covered in blood because someone was

being killed but the most terrible thing for the boy was that his father's killer was their mother who had previously shown no hatred towards him imagine Max's surprise when he heard the CEST whisper that she simply needed children as sacrifices the realization that he was born as nothing more than a victim scared the boy beyond belief and from then on he did not want to be caught it was after these words that Madame Set Fire to the estate destroying all evidence of her crime so that everything would look like an ordinary fire maxian trembled all

over and admitted that he was a coward so he couldn't tell anyone anything because they would hardly believe him after hearing all this Karen suddenly stood up although it would have been better for him not to move in such a terrible State the guy was only able to take a few steps before before he fell to the floor again his strength finally leaving him nevertheless he reached out and touched the chains on his brother's leg beginning to cast a magic spell to remove them noticing this Maxin was horrified and immediately left his brother since in

his condition it was fatal to cast spells but despite the fact that he was getting worse and worse with each passing moment Karen did not stop for a second at this moment the twin wanted to achieve the goal and break the chains which he soon finally succeeded in doing and Karan himself barely smiled and whispered that his brother was much smarter so he had many times more chances to get out maxian still couldn't stop the tears that were streaming down his face from worrying about his brother who had hurt himself so much imagine the boy's

surprise when Karen asked him not to let himself be killed even by his mother and then fell to the floor losing Consciousness the darkhaired twin believed that he had done everything he could to sure that his brother escaped captivity peacefully so he allowed himself to rest but Maxin looked down at the young man and said that he would never leave him here for anything in the world but would come up with a plan for the two of them and at that moment the lady remembered the novel and could not understand why Serena was bothering Juliana

if she was only interested in AIS only now was the girl able to understand that the saint in the original story had done something that destroyed the magic circle the lady was then very angry with the blonde because the formula almost cracked which meant a weakening of the influence on the Duke and then the heroin was worried that siren knew about the circle from the very beginning and she herself only now found information about it suddenly AES asked who the lady was thinking about so carefully while she was sitting next to him and had to

pay attention to him the lady had to lie that she simply remembered an interesting book that she had read a long time ago but never found out its title but miss remembered well that this story was about a girl who committed terrible crimes and did not sympathize at all but before Serena could say anything else she suddenly discovered that they had already arrived so it was time to leave akeria was unhappy that Miss was so eager to leave him although he understood that he could not change anything anyway tears welled up in the guy's eyes

at the thought that he would not be able to see his beautiful beloved for a long time in response the count 's daughter promised to send the Duke letters so that he would at least feel a little less lonely without her on the estate but this promise ended up making the guy very angry because the lady promised to write every time and never did therefore hugging Serena tightly AES imploringly asked her not to leave him but rather to stay in the aceria estate the heroine had no idea that the Duke was so reluctant to part

with her because before that he had hidden his feelings but melfor had only one option that would allow her to stay with the guy forever so getting close to her friend's ear the lady whispered that he needed to kill her mother if he wanted them to be together the Duke suddenly became serious when he heard exactly this demand from his beloved because it was very difficult to fulfill even the heroine herself understood that while the brainwashing was in effect the guy would hardly dare to resist the Countess therefore the lady prepared in advance for life

with this difficult woman to whom she even found the strength to smile at the sight of her daughter Madame smiled Softly As she was truly glad that another toy had returned to her not wanting to immediately frighten her daughter with her plans Madame began to ask from afar how everything went this time then the count has said with a smile that she had noticed how her daughter's faithful dog had gradually begun to lose obedience the woman warned that the animal which no longer respected anyone could very well hurt its own owner the heroin Sil ly

listened to her mother's statements thinking about what she could have said in this situation at this point the lady realized that this was all a test so she asked if it was necessary to keep the old dog with her in response Madame explained that this dog was very special and the chains could not be removed so easily and simply then the girl suggested punishing the animal even more realizing that they were both talking about ais's strange Behavior noticing that her mother was not satisfied with her answer Miss grinned widely and even offered to kill the

disobedient creature suddenly the Countess asked her daughter how much longer the Duke's brainwashing would last in her opinion the heroine only felt worse after this question since she did not know which side to choose on the scale Serena closed her eyes in the hope that Madame would not be able to understand what exactly she was really thinking at that moment the woman waited impatiently for what her daughter would say since much depended on this answer for her attit ude then the lady said that she could very well kill AES herself since she knew that this

was exactly what her mother wanted to hear in response the Countess smiled happily as it seemed to her that she still had complete control over the girl and the heroine herself at that moment was afraid that if the Madam found out about aia's treatment then death would immediately await him the last thing Serena wanted was to be guilty of killing someone she had truly cared about all this time in order to have less contact with her mother from the moment of her return the lady spent all her days working in her office and this continued

until one day Mikel came to her pretending that he wanted to read in this place the Miss immediately expressed doubt about what her brother was reading which eventually visibly angered the older boy as a result instead of continuing to argue with his sister the guy simply became offended and suddenly fell Silent not wanting to sort things out after which he nevertheless admitted that he would like to give Miss one letter which could not be discussed in the presence of his mother these were messages from AES who was able to write on such a large amount

of paper in such a short period of time the girl read every line carefully because she valued the Duke and realized that he really missed her very much however right now the lady could not give in to romance so she clenched her fists tightly and asked what had been heard about the twins Mikael had nothing to tell his sister yet but he promised that he would definitely do everything to find their brothers the heroine immediately guessed that the Elder was simply trying to calm her down but in the end she didn't say anything to him

the girl realized that she couldn't bear to sit still so she jumped up and ran away somewhere which surprised her brother the girl explained that she went to her brother's room to find at least some kind of clue and suddenly discovered someone's diary there although Karen had made no notes at all the lady was confident that maxion could well have written something worthwhile but what Miss found inside the blonde twins diary just couldn't fit into her head the guy wrote almost constantly that it was unbearable for him to keep everything to himself but miss could

not understand what truth he was talking about she turned page after page of the Diary hoping to find an explanation but there was nothing else written there the only thing Maxin wrote about was the constant desire to run away from his damned home as far as possible Serena sincerely could not not understand what her brother was so afraid of that he even wanted to run away leaving his family she ran back to Mikael in a panic wanting to tell him about her unusual Discovery in the twins room but when she saw the face of her

elder brother the lady only became more frightened since he clearly found out something bad Miss had never seen the guy so confused before so she immediately had a bad feeling but when the girl asked the question Mikel turned away and lied that absolutely nothing had just happened the heroine tried to insist on her own but the guy abruptly changed the subject and asked what she had just wanted to tell him Serena did not resist and handed her brother the book explaining that she had found Max's diary which was full of horror after carefully studying the

records Mikel clenched his fists indignantly because it became absolutely clear that someone had kidnapped the twins in response the lady suggested that the kidnapping could have happened right after the boys escaped which is why no one started looking for them having made such conclusions the girl suddenly noticed a raven who was bringing reports to the Elder and asked what he said but Mikel continued to lie to his sister convincing her that she simply imagined that he was not in a very good condition although her brother's answer seemed quite convincing the heroine was still sure that

he was hiding something from her suddenly not wanting to talk about anything more with his sister the Elder one walked past her saying that he still had things to do he really did hide something important but he couldn't explain anything to Serena now because he was very worried himself as soon as her brother left the countess's daughter dropped her head onto the table in Devastation as she had again come to nothing during this time suddenly the assistant knocked on the lady's room and announced that the mares of grantis had arrived and this greatly surprised the

lady she had never interacted with this Aristocrat before so she had no idea what to expect from his unexpected visit imagine the girl's surprise when the guy said that he had come to finally confirm her consent to what he had written in the letter but Serena didn't receive anything but the mares didn't lose his head and extended his hand to her inviting her to be his partner at the banquet a sweet smile blossomed on granty face and he explained that their families had already agreed on everything in advance a long time ago the girl was

shocked that such agreements had been made behind her back despite the lack of consent from both parties the guy said that his name was yusan and he thought that Serena was aware of everything that was happening because her mother knew about everything the marqueis smiled kindly and explained that the Miss would continue to accompany aeria but it would be better for her to get used to him as well the heroine immediately understood that the guy would not Court her for the sake of Engagement because they were too different in status for that but something was

bothering the lady so she narrowed her eyes suspicious i l and looked closely at her interlocutor gratus continued to maintain the same sweet expression but the Miss was sure that he was planning something bad for her Serena remembered that her mother's collaboration with this family did not begin immediately but they were able to build a working relationship their common business was the mining business through which both families successfully continued to gain power and strength the countess's daughter guessed that her mother wanted to use her to further unite their families but she only smiled not showing

her emotions the Marquee was immediately delighted with the lady's response not even suspecting that she was not at all sincere with him in reality the boy and the girl shook hands although each was pursuing only their own goals and did not think at all about the well-being of the other because of this situation Serena had a hard time falling asleep that night as sad thoughts kept running through her head she took a short walk around her mother's estate and when she returned to her room she discovered that she had forgotten to close the window imagine

the girl's surprise when A's who was not supposed to be here suddenly appeared right in front of her at the sight of the guy the lady even froze in complete shock for a while and then asked what he was doing there anyway but akeria had no intention of leaving even though his appearance did not make his beloved very happy however the Duke could not resist asking why the Mist was so cold to him since they had not seen each other for several days in the in the end he could not stand it any longer and

approached the countess's daughter who had nowhere to retreat as she was pressed against the wall siren had no idea what to expect from her friend when he suddenly leaned down and bit her hard much to her surprise the girl's hands trembled but eventually she lowered them deciding that the guy deserved to be allowed to behave like that suddenly agis admitted with tears in his voice that he had hallucinated again which made him scared so he hugged Miss with hands trembling with excitement Serena hesitantly placed her hands on the Duke's back as he himself begged her

to do so suddenly acaria pulled away and asked the lady to fulfill just one request which was for her to confess her love to him he clenched his hands which he had placed on the wall so that the countess's daughter would not run away and asked her to lie even if it was not so although the heroine herself did not expect this from herself but then these very words flew from her lips and she confessed her love to the guy in response even knowing full well that it was not true the Duke laughed sincerely and

cheerfully smiling more joyfully than ever before after waiting for the guy to calm down a bit siren asked him to tell her about the hallucinations he had recently seen and the Duke honestly began to describe the horrors in which his beloved mocked him in various ways demanding love as a result akeria became completely confused as he even stopped on understanding what was reality and what was just another Mirage but the lady gently took her friend by the hand and said that he could not remember these Horrors near her if he did not want to at

this point Miss realized that she could not put pressure on the Duke so she tried to speak gently and chose her words carefully suddenly ais's eyes widened and he began to whisper that he had better go back to his place right now the girl tried to stop the Duke but it was all useless since aeria was much stronger and faster as a result the heroine missed and was unable to stop her friend who fell into some incredible and incomprehensible Madness before Serena could do anything else AIS created a portal right before her eyes and teleported

to his room Miss clenched her fists in displeasure as the guy disappeared as suddenly as he had appeared in front of her for some reason and at that moment in his estate akeria scolded himself because he should never have visited his beloved in the middle of the night the Duke himself did not understand what exactly was happening to him but he became increasingly convinced that he was gradually going crazy as a result the guy out of frustration hit his fist hard against the wall but even this did not help him calm down and come to

his senses AES asked himself questions over and over about what he was feeling and he couldn't find answers to them which didn't usually happen there was such Madness in his eyes that anyone who looked into them at that moment moment would be incredibly scared the Duke himself constantly saw pictures of himself strangling his beloved and unable to stop even though it caused him pain even in these hallucinations AIS had tears flowing but even despite this he could not change anything about what was happening unable to Bear such a flow of information which the guy did

not want to perceive akaria fell to his knees and cried the next morning Mikel studied the missing brother's diary again as he was deeply moved by the contents the boy felt guilty for not even noticing how scared Maxin had been all this time the thing was also that the Raven at the moment when the lady was looking for the diary still brought her brother a lot of information the bird said that the twins were kidnapped by dark magicians for some as yet unclear purpose and were being held captive Mikael expected to hear anything but such

details since he did not know how to react to them it was at that moment that siren ran up to the Elder and he didn't have time to collect himself so he accidentally showed his emotions the guy didn't want to drag his sister into The Showdown with the dark magicians so he hid such important information he sent the Raven ahead as he decided to find the place where his brothers were being held for some reason on his own the bird obediently flew in the right direction because from the first time it had perfectly remembered the

entire route imagine mikel's surprise when the Raven for some reason led him to the most prominent place in the city in the in the form of a bell tower at first glance this place didn't seem like anything special so the guy couldn't understand why they came here but the Raven did not stop at the bell tower but flew a little further landing on one of the trees in the forest next to the tower Mo watched in Surprise as the bird began to knock on the tree with great Zeal although there was no need for it

suddenly the space around began to crack and change as the Raven was able to activate the opening of some kind of portal the the guy watched in complete shock as a magical Trail appeared right in front of him which he had not expected in the forest having carefully studied the rift that had appeared before him Mikel immediately guessed that this phenomenon was not at all accidental such a hole could only be created with the help of strong magic and the young man had no idea who could possess it the older brother was getting closer and

closer to the rift although he still didn't know exactly what he would do next suddenly right behind him he heard the voice of the Countess who had followed her son and asked if he was going to jump in there the boy's eyes widened in horror as the last person he wanted to date was his mother turning around uncertainly Mikel asked in a voice trembling with fear what is mother was doing in this place with him but the Countess did not answer this question but only smiled slightly and suggested that her son boldly step into that

Rift but the boy had no idea what was on the other side so he didn't know whether he should listen to the evil and cruel Countess suddenly The Madam could not stand it any longer and pushed her son forward so that they both found themselves in the space for dark magicians the CEST smiled slightly and explained that only The Magicians themselves and their children could enter this place without any problems having heard about some dark force Mikel could not understand anything as he subconsciously refused to believe what was happening The Madam noticed that her son

had a lot of questions so she asked him to follow her so that she could answer them although the boy didn't believe that his mother would really explain anything he had no other choice so he had to obey first of all the young man asked the counts from afar how long she had been associated with the dark magicians who were being destroyed the Madam asked the guy to remember how their house appeared and he said that the emperor created it in gratitude for the fight against dark magicians the woman chuckled and said that in fact

one dark magician faked his achievement in order to gain the ruler's trust this is how the house of melfor was actually created gaining status and power through deception the CEST noticed that her son was shocked because until now only the head of the family could know the truth about the origin of melfor as she began to quietly charge her hand with magic the woman added that the first eye was too weak so he remained a servant but over time much changed as their line increased its magical power and distanced itself from other magician realizing that

their family was no longer under the control of the dark magicians Mikel asked why his mother was still connected to them she explained that due to the suspension Mel for's blood gradually began to weaken giving birth to increasingly weaker dark Mages but then something incredible happened and a rift between the countess's family and The Magicians gradually began to emerge due to the birth of that very one M did not immediately understand what exactly his mother was talking about and what was born in their family that The Magicians immediately became interested Madame suddenly announced that they

were almost there so her son had to ask what was most important to him the guy only became more angry because of the woman's incomprehensible indifference and his state became visible in his tightly clenched fists after which Michael asked if Caron and Maxin were here and what condition they were in now after the kidnapping hearing that everything was perfectly fine with the twins the Elder demanded that the Countess release them immediately in response madame's eyes flashed brightly as she became furious at such statements and explained that they were victims immediately after this the mother activated

the spell that she had been preparing for a long time and the Elder's legs gradually began to sink downwards the guy didn't expect anything like this so he didn't even have time to defend himself when he suddenly Heard a Voice saying that he was approaching until the last moment Mikel continued to whisper that he needed to save his brothers until he lost Consciousness with tears in his eyes he reminded his mother that they were her sons but the woman felt nothing for her children so the elders last words were simply swallowed up by the merciless

water because this is exactly what the woman wanted from the beginning even the next morning the heroine did not notice that her own brother was missing since she already had enough worries today the emperor held that very banquet in honor of the birth of the god of the Empire which many people came to with pleasure as had been agreed in advance the lady was brought to this event by the mares who introduced himself to everyone as her real partner but as soon as aeria noticed them together the guy immediately took the girl away although he

told grantees that he would return Serena no matter how much the Miss tried to find out from the Duke what was happening he remained silent and only asked her to wait for him in the room but quite a bit of time had already passed so melfor could not stand it and tried to open the doors to go out into the Hall imagine the heroine's surprise when she discovered that AIS had locked her in with a spell of a fairly high level but the lady couldn't wait there because originally the event was supposed to feature a

decoration from the emperor this necklace was supposed to be given to Juliana without even knowing that it was a means of transportation suddenly siren heard an explosion and realized that the dark magician's plan had already already been set in motion and she was still locked in the lady angrily hit the door as she wanted to help the saint but she could not even get out of the room on her own suddenly Miss heard kyon's voice behind the wall who somehow miraculously found himself next to her and heard an incomprehensible knock eight was strong enough to

break the Duke's spell so the girl decided to ask him for help Melfort ran up to the glass and asked the guy to free her which made the Knight very surprised the countess's daugh couldn't explain right now how she had fallen into such a trap so she simply asked Capron to break down the door the boy made his first attempt and discovered that the room had been enchanted with higher level magic making the task more difficult but the Knight did not give up so easily as he then drew his sword and asked the lady inside

to move as far away from the entrance as possible kepron concentrated all his magical power into the blade and then swung it cutting through the space in front of the doors as a result a powerful flash illuminated the room which is why the heroine even had to cover her face with her hands just to avoid going blind after a few seconds the light dissipated although siren was still unsure if she could open her eyes now daring to look around Miss discovered that IES had simply knocked down the door destroying part of the room with his

own strength the guy himself immediately after this as if nothing had happened put the sword back into its sheath since he had fulfilled his role so that the lady would not be afraid of him he extended his hand to her and asked why the girl was in such a strange position in the first place the siren reported with a smile that one evil magician had laughed at her a little and the Knight immediately guessed that this was the work of aeria he asked anxiously if friends could do that but miss had nothing to say to

the guy so she simply turned away in fact the heroine herself wanted to know why AES had locked her in the room without explaining anything Capron did not ask the countess's daughter anything else but only suggested that they move to a safer Place suddenly right behind them there appeared the Duke who at that very moment decided to return for his beloved but did not find her Serena turned around in excitement as aeria appeared much faster than she would have expected him to and the guy himself said with a grin that things around had become too

dangerous so he would like to take the lady with him suddenly eight stepped forward and declared that he would take care of the Miss's safety himself so the Duke had better leave the heroine did not expect that AES would not get angry but would suddenly thank the Knight for such concern about mord's health suddenly narrowing his eyes angrily the Duke also reminded about the people in the ballroom who also needed kyon's protection the siren guessed that the Duke had deliberately pressed on the knight's sore spot but she did not know what her savior would do

now ais's plan worked immediately which he was very happy about since a said that he would immediately go to the other people to ease the tension a little melfor politely bid the night farewell before leaving with aeria the girl was even glad that kiprun calmed down so quickly and did not enter into battle with the young Duke as they walked along the corridor the lady remembered the mares with whom she had come to the banquet so she asked to be taken to his carriage in response the guy indignantly asked why the lady was going to

this man at all since he immediately began to feel jealous then the Miss turned back herself and said that she simply wanted to pick up from the carriage what she had left there at the very beginning she was the first to see the marcus' carriage which stood empty in the same place which greatly delighted the countess's daughter although the heroine was able to take what she came for she did not know how she could now get rid of the young Duke following her Serena had serious doubts that the guy who volunteered to guard her would

help her if he found out about the plans the girl was absolutely sure that AIS would try to destroy the puzzles she was putting together just to keep her safe suddenly an assistant ran up to the Duke and informed him that the emperor urgently called aeria to him the guy immediately got angry because the ruler was once again ruining his plans and he couldn't even resist it realizing that ASAS was worried about Serena the servant offered to make sure that everything was okay with the girl this was only to the lady's Advantage so as soon

as the Duke disappeared she confidently announced that she did not need a guard but the Knight could not leave the Mist completely alone since he had promised a Kia that he would make sure that nothing happened to her then Serena tried to charm the guy with her charm and Beauty which had an almost immediate effect on him the heroin smiled kindly at the guard because she was absolutely sure that she could handle him alone as a result as soon as the guy turned away the girl deftly disappeared from his field of vision and ran off

to do her business Serena needed to get to fess's base before all the other knights in order to save the young Duke on her own remembering the events of the original story the countess's daughter was easily able to find the entrance she needed to the dark magician's domain she went straight to the magic circle that was created thanks to that very formula and was glad that no one was around the lady dropped the elements that ult had created for her onto the circle as quickly as possible just to help save AIS from the influence Miss

knew that she could use her magic to create a spell that would create a portal to Faus but she had to hurry imagine the heroine's surprise when right behind her she suddenly heard aia's voice leaving her alone the guy immediately realized that the countess's daughter had not ended up in this place by chance although he did not know how she had even heard about it siren desperately asked her friend not to come closer because she still wanted to save him from brainwashing which is why she came here suddenly AIS shouted that he had never in

his life asked a girl to act like that and demanded that she come to him but melfor wasn't at all worried about risking her life so she confidently walked into the center of the circle akeria tried to stop his beloved so he ran after her screaming but it was too late for that before parting Serena laughed merrily and said that she really loved the Duke which is why she tried so hard the realization that he could lose the most precious thing in his life made AIS fall to his knees in front of the magic circle

at this point Karan began to gradually come to his senses and realized that he was now feeling warm although he was sitting in a cold room his Consciousness was still trapped and he felt with every cell of his body how his twin was gradually dying from blood loss the guy's eyes widened in Surprise completely not understanding what was happening around him the twin jumped up in bed in surprise to look around hoping that something would become at least a little clearer to him throwing the blanket off his feet the young man discovered that his leg

was perfectly fine although he had most certainly almost lost it the fact that he was saved and cured meant that maxian did not run away but called for help for the sake of his beloved brother but what surprised Karen most was that for some reason this time they didn't restrict him in any way even though his twin was nowhere to be seen then the countess's son confidently took a deep breath and came up with a plan so that he could finally get out that the twin had escaped once again became immediately clear as he brazenly

left the doors of the infirmary open Raquel was Furious about this when his assistant reported to him that they had again lost one of CEST Mel for's Sons but the problems for the magician did not end there since the servant did not have time to tell him everything due to the lack of air in his lungs only after catching his breath did the guy immediately report that the saint who had been caught with such difficulty had also somehow escaped from them Raquel did not expect that the girl would dare to attack her guards and even

be able to cause them such harm that they would let her go since the assistant froze in confusion the magician shouted that he should not stand there but go and look for all the escapes after which the guy asked pien to stay here just in case while he also joined the search for the fugitives the blue-haired man just smiled and didn't tell anyone that he himself gave the twins the key in the form of a blade so that they could get out and at that moment the heroine finally got to fascia's base although until the

very end she did not believe that she would succeed as soon as she stepped onto the gloomy floor of this room she discovered the necklace of the kidnapped Juliana on it but before the lady had time to think of anything she heard an explosion from somewhere on the side and realized that for some reason a battle was going on without a second's delay Miss ran as quickly as possible towards the sound and saw traces of the dark Wizard's Magic but what struck the heroin most was that they were confronted completely calmly by a saint who

had somehow miraculously awakened her powers the girl was so focused that she didn't immediately notice her friend who was standing right next to her suddenly the blonde turned around sharply as out of the corner of her eye she saw some huge and dangerous Shadow near the countess's daughter siren was focused on Juliana and therefore did not even hear that a huge and powerful monster was approaching her the lady immediately recognized him as a highlevel monster that only the Countess who was very strong could handle Miss's eyes widened as memories flooded in as it was extremely

unpleasant for her to think about her mother every time she remembered how the woman had once told her that her daughter would never be able to defeat the monster if she hesitated cold sweat broke out on the girl's face who realized that it would have been best to Simply run away from such a powerful creature here the lady was seized by the hand by the saint who was the first to come to her senses so she asked her friend to run away after her but the heroine understood perfectly well that they would not be able

to run away from the monster for too long so they would still have to fight Juliana turned to siren and told her that she couldn't fully control her power but she wanted to try to help from the girl's eyes the heroine realized that she was no longer as insecure and anxious as before so with such a saint holding her friend's hand tightly and leading her her forward Miss could well try to save herself so siren asked if Juliana could hold off the monster for at least 3 seconds and the girl agreed deciding to rely on

her friend melfor began to read a spell that could save them both from this terrible creature the heroin came up with the idea of cutting off the monster's access to oxygen so that he would be distracted by recovery and would no longer follow them but when the girl finished reading the spell for some reason a dark figure loomed over her and Juliana was nowhere to be seen Serena fell to her knees in shock as she did not expect that her friend would ultimately fail to complete the task melord understood that this was their only chance

to escape together but in the end everything did not go according to plan which made the lady sad the countess's daughter could no longer cast any spell so she humbly extended her trembling hand towards the huge monster suddenly out of nowhere a dark blade appeared right in front of the girl which easily cut through this powerful monster Miss froze in complete shock as she could hardly understand what was happening before her eyes somehow the tall guy saved both girls although he himself screamed that it was very difficult and he almost died the heroine immediately recognized

this voice which belonged to Karen although it was unclear what the young man was doing in this place and how he fought for a few moments the brother and sister stood Frozen in front of each other as each of them could not believe their eyes suddenly the lady came to her senses and threw herself on her Twin's neck because she had sincerely missed him during all this time Karen asked in fear if their mother had been watching the girl and she guessed that the Countess had indeed locked her son's here having calmed the guy down

the lady hugged him even tighter to make sure he was completely okay suddenly they looked around and discovered that Juliana had disappeared somewhere but Serena remembered that the knights would save her so she reassured her brother Karen confessed that the monster ate him and he thought he was about to die because he could no longer fight that strong monster suddenly the saint jumped into the creature's belly and said that she would heal the guy if only he could save her and the countess's daughter however the problems did not become less although they were able to

escape since the twin still did not know where Maxin was the girl was scared when she heard that her fair-haired brother had disappeared since she also had no idea where to look for him at this point Karen realized something and so asked whether his sister had come to this terrible place to save them or for some other reason the lady couldn't admit to her brother that she really wanted to help AZ but he just hugged her and didn't blame her for anything Miss clung tightly to her brother and closed her eyes although she was not

sure she deserved to hear comfort from him not wanting to remain idle any longer siren suggested to Karen that they find maxion and get out of here before they were captured again here the guy had to admit that he had already tried to get out more than once but for some reason he had never succeeded he casually mentioned a large magic circle and Miss immediately latched on to these words because that was exactly what she was looking for the heroine clasped her hands in excitement as she could only hope that her guesses were completely correct

Karen immediately guessed from his sister's face that she needed this circle so he smiled cheerfully since he could help Serena admitted this but first suggested finding Max yon since it would be easier for her to implement her plan later the heroine called her brother to follow her but after a few minutes she suddenly discovered that he had stopped responding so she turned around before the lady had time to react the Countess who appeared out of nowhere hit her own daughter's Head Hard against the wall after which she confidently declared that none of her children would

ever see Maxin again so they had better give in and Obey her after making sure that the girl had completely gone limp The Madame only then removed her hand from her head saying that she had been predictable in despair Miss fell to her knees because the pain in her head made it very difficult for her to move at that moment and think about anything out of the corner of her eye she noticed Karen who was lying a few meters away from her having also received injuries from his mother looking down at her daughter the woman

asked contemptuously if she was really trying to free aeria from brain washing Sirena tried to hide the Panic that had consumed her and began to deny all of the countess's accusations although she was very worried then the Madame suddenly announced that she knew very well about the elf who was currently temporarily living in the aesa estate bending over her daughter the Countess smiled and said that even at the age of 15 she had guessed that the lady would try to help the Duke this was because no matter what role Miss played in front of her

mother she could not hide her true feeling when looking at her friend Serena herself only admitted to herself a few hours ago that she had truly loved aeria madly all this time the heroine realized that it was pointless to continue lying but she could barely squeeze a word out of her throat because of her fear of her mother finally the lady collected her thoughts and asked if the Countess would kill her right then and there for disobeying her in response Madame said that if Miss could kill AES she would definitely forgive her and even accept

her back into the family hearing this Serena jumped up in complete shock as she believed that the Duke still meant something to her mother but the CEST replied with a smile that if a previously loyal dog no longer obeys then it should be put to sleep as quickly as possible while she was saying this Karen stood up from his seat so the heroine began to stall for time distracting her mother's attention to herself The Madam immediately realized that her daughter was rejecting her generous offer so she raised her hand in in front of her to

hit her even harder but at that moment the twin had just gathered strength for a blow so he attacked the Countess from behind although it was a bit mean but the difference in their skills was so great that even this did not help the guy harm the woman even a little then Karen changed his strategy and stood in front of his sister demanding that his mother leave them alone otherwise he would continue the attack the cice had no intention of Ming future victims so she changed the subject and asked her daughter why she wanted to

cure the Duke Madame said that even if the lady freed him AIS would not fall in love with her because he did not feel any love for her seeing her daughter's astonished face the woman burst out laughing because in fact alarah simply adored the girl the heroine couldn't wrap her head around this information because all this time she had imagined what was happening somewhat differently and Madame declared that she had never influenced the Duke to fall in love with her daughter for adoration was very similar to that one day she saw a little boy praying

earnestly and that was when she realized how she could control him the CEST made siren a real God for ages which is why he could hardly stay without the girl for a long time the heroine did not believe her mother's words until the very end so she clenched her fists and said that the Duke's Behavior did not resemble Worship in response Madame Shrugged her shoulders and explained that adoration and love were indeed similar but a Believer does not have have feelings for God she genuinely enjoyed the fact that she was able to shock her own

daughter who had tried so hard to get around her literally a few seconds later the counts got tired of talking so she suddenly attacked her children again the woman quickly disarmed Kuran after which she grabbed siren by the neck and began to strangle her with Force hoping to make her lose Consciousness thinking that she was about to die the lady tried to lie to her mother and whispered that she would kill AES if only she would let them go but the Countess had already changed her plans since she could use her daughter's body in different

ways so she did not need her life none of them noticed how Karen quietly came closer and asked if mom had really killed her husband in exactly the same way this instantly threw the woman off balance and her eyes widened in shock causing her to freeze in place for a moment the twin didn't wait for the Madam to come to her senses so he grabbed his sister and dragged her along with him trying to take her as as far away as possible before the girl had time to figure out what was happening her brother with

a happy smile on his face pushed her down the stairs saying that the circle was there finally he shouted for the lady to protect herself with magic and not be harmed since he understood that he could not save her otherwise siren tried to listen to her twin and concentrated Mana throughout her entire body before falling to the floor with a thud but miss was unable to fully protect her leg which is why she seriously injured her ankle and could barely walk now but the heroine understood that she had no time to rest despite the pain

so she still got to her feet with difficulty suddenly Kyon grabbed the Girl by the arm and asked how she ended up in such an inappropriate place for her Serena immediately lied that she had been kidnapped and had been looking for a way out all this time but aats actually didn't even think to suspect her of anything as soon as melfor heard that the guy was going to guard her she immediately pushed him away since she did not need an assistant suddenly the entire room they were in shook with a huge noise and began to

move as if due to an earthquake following this the magic circle right in front of them began to Glow ominously so the Knight asked the lady to stand next to him at that moment AES was looking for his beloved as he wanted to prove to her that he would also have feelings even after his release the guy was absolutely sure that they would be happy together so he mentally continued to beg Serena to show herself to him suddenly he heard a familiar voice that belonged to the Saint and turned around to see someone dragging her

somewhere although Juliana was clearly Suffering The Duke did not want to delay to help her as he was looking for the countess's daughter suddenly the blonde raised her head and met the Gaze of aeria who simply wanted to watch from the side AIS narrowed his eyes in displeasure and sighed since he could no longer ignore the fact that his beloved's friend needed help he didn't have time to spend even a small part of his Mana so he easily snapped his fingers Whispering a small spell having freed the girl from her enemy the guy approached her

and said that he was glad that she was okay and the saint thanked him for saving her suddenly Juliana again encountered the Duke's gaze which made her very frightened since it did not bode well but no matter how scared the blonde was she still wanted to help siren so she tried to collect her thoughts as soon as aeria heard that the saint had seen melfor his face changed dramatically and he asked to tell her more about it the girl was confused by such a change in mood but nodded reservedly and asked the guy to follow

her but the closer the Duke got to his beloved the more painful and worse it became for him everything even blurred before his eyes while the saint walked forward with absolute ease she didn't even immediately notice that AIS had slowed down and fallen behind her at that moment the heroine was near a magic circle which was burning with enormous energy as it had taken in many victims for this reason the lady felt that even she could easily be swallowed up by this thing if she were careless enough Kon came closer to the Miss and asked

her to be more careful as he also felt an incomprehensible pressure from the magic circle but the girl couldn't resist and extended her hand forward because something told her that this would be the most correct thing to do imagine siren's surprise when the energy of the circle vibrated even more strongly as she approached as if responding to her call suddenly the lady saw a huge tree but she had never heard anything about it before because the conversation had always been about a circle Aid saw this too and was as puzzled as the lady for neither

of them understood what was happening suddenly the boy and girl heard some strange voices behind them so they turned around sharply to protect themselves Miss recognized Juliana's voice first and before she could react k for some reason rushed into battle drawing his sword there was a clash of swords as they loudly collided with each other as the enemy was in no way inferior in strength to a it turned out to be AES who was still able to gather his strength and come close to the circle although he still felt unwell the heroine opened her mouth

in horror as she saw the Duke's eyes which were completely mad at that moment no one present could stop these guys from fighting as they were too strong for that so the lady came up with another way to end it all and she stuck the blade right into the magic circle as she wanted to destroy it for the first few seconds nothing happened but miss continued to pray that her spell would work at that very moment aeria fell to the floor and winced from another incredible attack of pain that gripped him due to siren's actions

Kon managed to stop in time so that he could not accident injure the Duke who would not have been able to resist him the heroine looked back with excitement because she wanted to know what condition her friend was in after she hit the circle meeting the guy's gaze the girl felt how much he hated her which immediately made her feel awkward but even so siren was not going to give up and stopped trying to save him so she slowly picked up the blade from the floor while the girl was trying to talk to the Duke

the circle finally cracked and began to fall apart into small pieces as it weakened and the countess's daughter smiled tenderly at ages and With Tears In Her Eyes said that he could do with her whatever he wanted akia's entire body was torn apart by pain and his head was in complete confusion so he was unable to answer the girl's words and at this time behind their backs magical water gradually began to rise from the circle and get closer and closer as she covered the Duke and the lady with her head the M thought that she

should have rejected him back when he first took her hand all because even now Serena could not forget aes's Gentle Smiles and his care for her the girl understood that no matter how hard she tried to preserve her friend's love it was slipping through her fingers suddenly although her eyes were closed and she was in the water the countess's daughter heard someone's voice which made her start only now did the lady realized that she had almost fallen asleep while she was in an unknown place and for some reason without aeria hearing the same strange voice

again miss began to look around again surprised that she could breathe calmly she noticed a cluster of magical energy somewhere ahead and above from where this sound was coming so she decided to go in that direction but even when she got closer Miss could not really understand what these color changes in the water around her meant which were shimmering suddenly a huge eye appeared right in front of siren and asked if the girl still wanted to break the influence the countess's daughter did not expect such an interrogation since everything that was happening around her began

to seem more and more mysterious to her but what surprised the lady most was that this incomprehensible voice offered her help in Saving the Duke which the Miss really wanted however the eye suddenly informed her that there was a price for everything which the girl would have to pay to fulfill her desire suddenly the water around her cleared up and siren fell sharply to the floor which she didn't expect so she didn't have time to prepare and hit herself a little this circumstance only surprised the lady even more because now she did not understand at

all what was happening around her and why here the girl noticed that her dress was wet because she had been in the water for a long time so the Miss found a thorn and cut it off only after this was Miss able to freely stand on her feet since nothing else was stopping her from walking and she had to deal with her surroundings suddenly she noticed that her leg no longer hurt at all although the girl herself did not make any effort for this but for now Serena still couldn't answer answer her questions since for

some reason it was too dark around to look around however the countess's daughter did not give up and walked forward cautiously looking around carefully as far as she could see suddenly Miss was able to see through the darkness the tree she had seen before she was accidentally sucked into the magic circle but what scared the girl most was that right at its roots for some reason a young Duke was tied to the trunk with thorns the guy was a little pale and was clearly unconscious because at the moment he was not trying to get out

in any way Serena didn't know for sure whether a was alive but she was afraid to run to him as fast as she could to check on her friend's condition suddenly a voice whispered that this man was about to die which greatly frightened the heroine who really wanted to save him the Thorns parted a little and the M saw a huge dark spot right next to the Duke's heart which was gradually getting larger melfor pressed her hands to her face in complete shock as she had no idea how she was going to save her beloved

now meanwhile the eye whispered that the young man had very little time left because his own magic had ultimately become poison the lady remembered very well that in the original story akeria had died quickly although not from Poison but from her hands on the top floor of the bell tower here the eye asked why the Miss was not interested in where this man got so much magical energy from and how he endured it the heroine was not pleased to hear the disdain in this creature's voice so she asked him to tell her everything as quickly

as possible then the unknown person explained that in fact Ages was a parasite that did not possess its own magic but only absorbed it Sirena couldn't even think that something like this was even possible so she asked to explain more about the poison in the guy's body the eye said that he would kill him anyway and the lady guessed that the Countess knew about everything in advance so she was not worried the heroin's face darkened because she could not believe that her mother was such a cruel woman that she remained silent here an unknown voice

reminded that it could help the Miss but for this it needed her to clearly formulate her goal but siren remembered that she would also need something in return so she asked what this creature required in response the eye began to blur into some mystical circles and reported that the influence was not just directed at the lady but melfor couldn't say what was so special about her that she even ENT ended up being given the young Duke's power the eye promised to tell the girl absolutely everything and save aeria but in return he only needed the

body of the countess's daughter although it seemed very strange the heroine did not feel very attached to this body so she was not at all against doing this suddenly a bright glow appeared somewhere behind the eye which asked siren not to give anything to this creature the tree roots nevertheless grabbed the lady as they did not want to let go of either her her or the young Duke who they could feed on for a long time but suddenly transparent ghosts appeared above Mel for's head which drove away everything dark and scary in this place the

countess's daughter asked in Surprise who they were and these creatures explained that they were the ones who would make the sacrifice they asked the lady not to let that red eye deceive her because he would never help her in the end imagine the girl's surprise when the ghosts announced that they would free the young Duke without any additional conditions while melfor watched The Souls of the victims in confusion they continued to tell her how exactly they could help the boy in return the creatures only asked Miss to take with her the child who had come

to them quite recently and had not yet been absorbed the siren did not immediately understand what was being discussed and when she saw the man the ghosts were talking about she experienced a huge shock the thing is that in the roots of the tree was her older brother with whom the girl had just recently spoken face to face the sister immediately ran up to Mikael and carefully pulled him out of the roots although the boy still couldn't regain Consciousness since the Elder Mel for's body was very cold Serena was even afraid that he might end

up dead the lady hugged her brother tightly and prayed that he would open his eyes and tell her another joke luckily the boy was still breathing although it was barely audible due to how stiff his body was and he fell into a coma the ghosts around her begged the girl in thin voices to take this child with her so that it would not suffer even more before leaving the girl anxiously asked how her brother had ended up in this place from which he himself would never have escaped the creatures whispered that one woman had called

him a victim and therefore brought him here where the tree would swallow him the heroine was not at all surprised when she learned that this very woman was her mother who did this and the ghost said that many people were sacrificed because of this Madam who did not spare anyone at all as a result everyone gathered here hated this woman to the depths of their souls who had so easily killed so many people over the course of time the lady recalled that she also bore that last name so she could not understand why the ghosts

were helping her now to which the creatures explained that the girl could have become the same victim as her brother so they were no different from Ghost only now did the heroine realize that it was her mother who had killed everyone here but she still could not understand why Madame had done such a thing the lady asked with interest why her mother needed such a huge number of sacrifices if she was already a magician the spirits reported that it was all about a secret that every head of the melfor house knew but was unknown to

everyone else it turned out that their relatives had long sacrificed people who possessed both strong and weak magic these people did not hesitate to kidnap other magicians to use them for their own purposes although it was very cruel the heroine Shrugged her shoulders in complete shock since she had no idea that her family had such a bloody history although the first head of melfor did not possess magic the second was able to create a magic circle that fulfilled other people's wishes for victims the lady listened attentively to the whole story and gradually the realization of

the horror of everything that was happening frightened her more and more since ancient times the balance has been Disturbed as the melfor family Mages have been constantly asking for more and more power as a result the magic they wielded was entirely based on such a terrible spell that required life and Mikael was supposed to be one of those victims if only his sister hadn't accidentally ended up in the right place however Miss still did not understand why her family was connected to the magic circle and murders to which one of the ghosts calmly replied that

this happened because the first leader was a dark magician hearing this siren even screamed in disbelief since she could not even imagine that there were drops of forbidden magic in her the girl always believed that the source of her power was ordinary and pure magic because she did not use forbidden spells suddenly for some reason a strong earthquake began around and the lady immediately rushed to cover her older brother the ghosts were no less scared than the girl and once again reminded her that she could really trust them personally but siren could not leave this

place without Ages which she reported to the creatures who wanted to send her back then the spirit carefully moved the still tied up boy closer to the countess's daughter since they could do nothing more to help melfor didn't know if the Duke would attack her when he woke up but she still wanted to try to save him from the influence but the ghosts flew around aeria and informed him that he would only attack if the magic circle became unstable again the heroine herself suspected something similar since she noticed that her friend's outbursts of anger were

very rare but the lady didn't expect that the guy would act in such moments the way he really wanted to act without influence Mis guessed that AIS could well have hated her so much that he decided to kill her at the first opportunity but while the girl could still touch aeria she carefully extended her hand to wake him up as soon as the Duke opened his eyes he immediately smiled joyfully at his beloved since he had managed to miss her during this time he had no memory of trying to harm the lady recently so he

extended his hand to her and the girl took it pretending that everything was fine akeria kissed his beloved's fingers and whispered that just having her near him was enough for him to feel happy but Serena couldn't remain so calm so she said with a worried face that she had something to say aiz suddenly became serious in response and stated that he did not want to hear anything if it was about Liberation from influence imagine the guy's surprise when the Mist suddenly pressed her lips to his cheek kissing him tenderly and the heroine herself beamed with

joy and admitted that she had had loved aeria for a long time although she herself did not realize it the ghosts began to fly cheerfully around the couple who clearly had mutual feelings for each other as they were happy for them noticing them siren realized that her friend's release was near so she used both hands to force him to move away but AES was so shocked by the lady's confession at that moment that he didn't even say anything about this action and the countess's daughter herself with tears in her eyes unexpectedly thanked the Duke for

loving her so much all this time the heroine would have given a lot for their relationship to remain the same but she herself understood perfectly well that this was impossible Miss didn't expect anything from the guy in response but was glad when he gently touched her chin expressing love after which AES tenderly kissed the girl on the forehead and whispered that even at this moment he loved her incredibly much but what pleased aeria most of all was that Serena also had feelings for him which she had just admitted to herself the heroine noticed with surprise

that for some reason tears were running down her friend's face something she had never expected to see so she froze and the guy suddenly admitted that he had been waiting for this moment for so long that he was now incredibly happy and could not contain his emotions these words touched the lady's very heart so she too could not remain calm and her lips curved into a smile here aeria said that even if influence saved him he would still love the countess's beautiful daughter suddenly everything around the friends began to crack although they personally did nothing

to make this happen unexpectedly turning around the girl discovered with fear that her mother had come to her senses and was now attacking her and the young Duke again the ghosts began to rush in panic in different directions since their barrier was destroyed which was not allowed to happen the lady was not happy to see the woman who had brought her so much trouble life but there was no point in running away now Madame smiled slightly at the sight of the confusion on her daughter's face as this convinced her even more of her Victory but

unlike Serena AIS was not at all confused and stepped forward asking his beloved to hide behind his back but the lady grabbed him by the shirt because the influence was still working on the boy and he could not harm melfor turning back the Duke confidently explained that he did not intend to kill madame but only wanted to buy them time hearing this the Countess laughed loudly and prepared for battle since she had no doubt that she would definitely win the heroine excitedly asked the ghosts how long exactly they had to hold out for the spirits

to help them get out the creatures reported that there was very little time left but ages did not wait and rushed into battle then the spirits decided to First weaken the influence on the guy and in the meantime asked the Miss to try to restore the barrier and it was really really necessary to hurry with this since the Countess had already begun to push the Duke closer and closer to the edge siren really wanted to help her friend but she knew she would be useless and was afraid to even turn around to watch his battle

Miss could only pray that the ghosts would cope as quickly as possible because only they could help now for the heroine the most important thing now was to save her beloved so she put all her remaining strength into prayer and at that moment a completely different battle was about to take place outside the space for dark magicians Kyon stood near the magic circle and interrogated his opponent demanding an answer on how to get inside the spell but Raquel didn't look scared no matter how much the Knight threatened him with his sword so he continued to

remain silent in fact the magician had no time for these showdowns so he was very sorry that he accidentally fell into kon's hands at such an inopportune time in the end the guy honestly stated that he saw no point in answering Eight's questions since it would not help him suddenly the magic circle began to gradually collapse although none of the guys contributed to this in any way moreover the rupture occurred so quickly that no one would have had time to prevent it so the circle continued to collapse the huge earthquake from everything that was happening

caused the boys to suddenly fall to their knees as it was difficult to maintain balance even Raquel couldn't say exactly what was happening inside the magic circle that made it start acting so strangely and at that moment the spirits told siren that they were almost finished so she only had to be patient for a little while and they would be able to help then suddenly something happened that the lady could not have expected and a huge and sharp sword passed through her entire body piercing her in complete shock Miss looked back and found her mother

who was holding the very weapon that had injured her daughter with a grin unable to Bear the pain and control herself siren fell heavily to the floor almost losing Consciousness The Madam pulled the sword out of her and the girl's blood was now slowly dripping from it onto the floor but the woman did not feel sorry for her at all the Countess only said that she always felt that her daughter would eventually let her down just as her husband had once done but the lady could not make out a single word of her mother since

her entire Consciousness was now focused on the pain for some reason it was at this moment that the heroine saw a situation from the past when AIS was confusedly asking who God was at that time siren was still too young to know the answers to such questions so she assumed that this was an ideal creature hearing this aoria smiled happily and adoringly declared that the countess's daughter was his God according to this description although the boy claimed that the girl was perfect the Miss herself only became angry when he said something like that in all

seriousness here the future Duke suddenly became sad because he remembered that the gods love everyone but for some reason the Mist did not love him but melfor suddenly took her friend by the hand and called him inside explaining that it had already become quite cold and they needed to warm up in the end the boy was still happy that such a beautiful goddess took care of him even if she didn't love him so now seeing his beloved dying the guy could not hold back the bitter and numerous tears of pain but the girl's injury was

so severe that she could no longer recover and gradually turned pale but the Countess herself seeing all this only laughed maliciously and declared that she would Now kill AES with great pleasure next the Duke was not ready for jokes now because this whole situation had incredibly pissed him off since Serena was really dying he gently squeezed the lady's limp body in his arms but he understood perfectly well that he could do nothing since he did not know how to heal but then the lady said with a smile that if the guy used dark magic he

would be able to save her daughter after which she added that the two of them should have listened to her from the start and then everything would have been fine with the girl AG still couldn't stop crying but he found the strength to ask the woman to help him as he wanted to save his beloved but suddenly the Countess heard voices from above which sincerely cursed her and considered her Unworthy of this title because of this she even forgot that akaria was very close since the words of the evil voice made her incredibly angry AIS

immediately took advantage of the fact that Madame was distracted and with one easy movement pushed off to jump from the spot the guy pressed the woman to the floor with his whole body and she did not expect this at all so she could not even defend herself and was hit painfully Serena's mother could not even imagine that the Duke would finally free himself from the influence enough to be able to strangle her and the young man angrily whispered that if the woman did not revive his beloved right now he would simply mercilessly ring her neck

the midam tried to attack the guy but her hands trembled since her body was still paralized due to the poison meanwhile the Duke's eyes became more and more maddened since he did not feel sorry for the Countess at all but she still managed to smile wickedly because she knew that her death would not revive siren so it was useless akeria suddenly announced that he was even ready to torture the lady if only to get what he wanted in the end because he was madly in love for this reason the guy squeezed the countess's neck more

and more but she only smiled wider and laughed at him in response already almost dying the ctis still found the strength to begin to whisper something about the Revival of her daughter who was becoming paler and paler she said that the guy could dip the girl in the river which was not far from them and strengthen the healing magic but the price for this would be that the influence on the Duke would definitely not dissipate because he already needed to go to the ghosts AAS understood perfectly well that the lady would have wanted a different

ending for him but he could not allow Serena to end up dead eia had to choose between freedom without influence and the living daughter of the Countess who was about to die since all the guy needed was the lady by his side he without thinking at all carried her in his arms into the river ais's legs slowly pushed aside the white foam and met almost no resistance as the water accepted him with pleasure her at the same time he carried siren as carefully as possible although she still did not come to her senses despite the

fact that the water had already begun to flow around her looking closely the Duke noticed that the lady's wounds were indeed gradually beginning to heal as if they had never been there and although they were already completely submerged underwater Miss began to breathe much more evenly as if she was actually just sleeping so AIS kissed siren's forehead tenderly thinking that he didn't care that he was still under the influence as soon as everything was all right with the countess's daughter Madame took her away and she immediately tied the Duke up with chains just in case

moreover the woman even took care to put the candle with a meleon back on which made it difficult for the guy to breathe the incense was so strong that it even went beyond the prison but fortunately there was no one nearby despite his poor condition akeria thought only about where his beloved was now and how she felt at that moment the guy lost Consciousness in the water and woke up in the same position so he didn't know anything about siren here the Countess reported that she did not know for sure whether the magic circle had

weakened enough for all influence on the Duke to subside so just in case she brought more candles into the room to further Cloud the mind of young akeria in fact Madame was planning to get rid of Ages soon anyway so his obedience no longer bothered her the guy just grinned in response since he had long ago noticed that the woman did everything she could to make him die quickly the only thing the Duke wanted to know was what happened to Serena so he asked about that first in response the Countess reminded him that aeria now

had only himself to worry about since he was the one in a bad situation she lit another candle and asked the boy if he knew why he was still around the melfor family with a Sly grin the CEST said that the Duke would be the best victim to restore the magic circle but this information didn't frighten AIS too much because he once again thought about something a little different he assumed that siren was somewhere nearby right now and he ended up being completely right because the lady was sleeping higher up Suddenly the heroin came to

her senses and jumped up on the bed because she remembered everything that had happened to her just recently since there were no scratches left the Miss wondered how much of this could have been a dream the lady was now most worried about the safety of her friends as she had no idea what had happened to them as a result the countess's daughter clenched her hands tightly ordering herself not to give up and decided to try to find out where she was now to do this Serena carefully got out of bed glad that her legs were

still able to walk despite her weakness after which the girl opened the front doors since when they were closed absolutely nothing could be seen behind them but when the lady saw the views from the balcony she only became more confused about what was happening and Frozen place from shock right in front of her from the balcony she could see beautiful snowcapped mountains and trees that the girl was seeing for the first time in her life then siren heard someone slowly approaching her so she turned around weily but did not run away yet imagine the heroin's

surprise when pen came to her because his lady was the last one waiting for him in this place and the guy himself smiled as if nothing had happened and reminded that they had previously met under not the best of circumstances bloody images of meetings with this unpleasant Dark Magician immediately flashed through siren's head so the girl didn't even think to smile but instead asked the blue-haired Man how he ended up here too in response the guy smiled even Wier and explained that the lady was simply in his room so he came to this place after

which pen explained that when the Miss was unconscious and almost died it was he who brought her to him to help but Serena didn't believe in The Magician's kindness at all since she remembered too well how he wanted to make a doll out of her so miss narrowed her eyes suspiciously and asked who the guy was and why he needed her anyway to this the magician calmly explained that he did not let the girl die only because she absolutely had to be alive but Serena didn't want to wait and so she demanded that the blue-haired

man answer all her questions right now suddenly the magician confidently ordered the countess's daughter to change her clothes and this somewhat embarrassed the lady due to his persistence imagine the heroine's surprise when pen said that if she was obedient enough he would tell her about her brothers in the end the lady obediently put on the outfit that the guy had chosen for her although she was terribly dissatisfied as a result the magician came closer and gently stroked the M on the shoulders saying that this dress suited her so it was not in vain that she

changed after which he sat down opposite the girl and demanded that she at least eat something before they began to talk seriously but Serena was stubborn declaring that she would not eat it as she was afraid that her opponent could have slipped something incomprehensible into it for this reason the girl asked the guy to first try the food that the servants had prepared for her in response the Dark Magician smiled sarcastically and honestly admitted that he had added a sleeping pill to the food so he would not eat it there was silence between them for

a moment after these words and then melfor sighed heavily unable to bear it any longer looking closely at the ordinary looking food she asked why it was necessary to put her to sleep since Miss wasn't going to run away anyway pen pointed to the food again with his hand asking the lady to eat it and explained that the girl had woken up much earlier than planned the fact that the guy was just beating around the bush without telling anything made the heroine angry so she decided to leave then suddenly he informed her that siren's brothers

were also here so there was no point in her leaving this place alone the girl froze in place in Surprise although she immediately realized that this time pen was really telling the truth because he stopped smiling but a second later the guy smiled again and invited the lady to eat because he knew she was hungry since the magician did not intend to wait long he warned that if the lady did not start eating herself he would help her in a very unpleasant way after which the blue-haired man cleverly manipulated the countess's daughter telling her that

he would not tell her about the brothers if she did not eat although the Miss was terribly unhappy about everything that was happening she still had to obey so soon the lady fell asleep the next time the lady woke up it was late at night but she was just as disoriented as she had been during the day Miss tried to raise her hands but her body barely obeyed her from which the girl concluded that she had been sleeping for quite a long time what surprised Serena most was that she was able to walk up to

the door and look out completely freely since it was not locked but as soon as the heroine found herself in the corridor she immediately again felt the presence of that very magic circle somewhere nearby the countess's daughter still didn't know where she was so she was a little confused but she still continued to look for her brothers here the lady realized that she was gradually getting closer and closer to the circle since something seemed to be pulling her in that direction although siren was finding it increasingly difficult to breathe she did not stop and walked

straight to the entrance to the basement the girl immediately noticed the magic circle on the floor but now it was not damaged which immediately surprised the lady this circumstance alarmed the heroine so she clenched her fists in indignation worrying about the influence on ajs suddenly the countess's daughter heard the familiar voices of ghosts so she ran up to the circle and bent over it the first thing the lady asked was what had happened to aeria whom these creatures had promised to easily free from their influence imagine the surprise of the miss when through the quiet

whisper and the noise of the water she heard the ghosts asking for forgiveness for something the heroine clenched her fists tightly as she suddenly realized that the spirits had helped her instead of saving the young Duke the girl couldn't believe that it was she who ultimately became the reason that no one could help aesu now then siren suddenly became angry and asked the spirits why they saved her at all since she had not asked them to do so at all all before Mel for's tearful eyes appeared the tender and joyful face of aeria who looked

at her lovingly all the heroine really wanted was to one day hear the real voice of the guy who was under the influence so now the countess's daughter is bent over in emotional pain because she will no longer be able to see the true feelings of her Beloved the ghosts around asked the girl for forgiveness but this did not make her feel any better although she was not offended by them finally Miss shook the tears from her hands as she realized that she needed to pull herself together as there were still some unresolved issues Sirena

took a few deep breaths to finally come to her senses and try not to cry anymore in the near future but just as the Miss asked if the Duke's brainwashing had stopped the spirit's voices suddenly began to gradually weaken melfor desperately pressed her ear to the floor in the hope that she would be able to make out the last words of her disappearing assistance but miss didn't succeed so she hurried back to bed hearing footsteps heading towards her room as soon as the girl lay down pan brought with him another guy she didn't know who

inspired fear in the lady the blue-haired Mage noticed that siren was looking more at his friend and he displeased pretended to be jealous of him Miss but melfor was only angry because of such reactions of the guy so she asked him to be quiet and not to talk to her then peen took pity and said that he had brought Raquel with him because he had not trusted him at all lately at the the same time the new acquaintance looked genuinely concerned as he carefully looked at the lady lying on the bed here the blue-haired man

sat down next to the girl's bed and allowed her to ask a few interesting questions about what was happening what the heroine was most concerned about was whether there was anyone next to her when pen found her and carefully carried her to his room Miss was still unable to find an answer to the question of what was happening to aeria now which is why she could not stop worrying about him the blue-haired Mage admitted that he thought that Serena would ask about her brothers first and not about the young Duke but then Raquel entered the

conversation and said that he could tell the girl about her relatives a little later on his own the girl was genuinely surprised that no one began to limit her or try to hide what was happening with her brothers but when the lady heard that they would not explain anything to her but would show her she considered this suspicious and became tense only pen smiled happily as he succe sucessfully pretended not to notice the despondent state of the countess's daughter at that moment so the Miss reminded about her question and the guy answered somewhat rudely that

he had not seen anyone at all near her Serena only frowned in response unable to understand if pen was telling her the truth or what had happened to AES here Raquel admitted that the blue-haired magician found the lady in complete confusion because they were just changing the base so that hyperin would not find them the heroine was surprised to hear this but the boys explained that otherwise the Imperial Knights would have already destroyed them Serena herself guessed from the snow outside the window that they were far from the palace so she asked why she was

brought here too as soon as she asked such a question Raquel broke into a Sly grin and asked the girl to follow him Miss had no idea where this magician would take her but she still decided to trust him and followed him while behaving carefully the lady's eyes widened when she finally saw what her new acquaintance had so badly wanted to show her the whole point was that Raquel for some reason so easily brought Serena to her brother who was still peacefully sleeping on the bed the magician did not lie to the Miss and honestly
