I Became A Thief Who Steals Overpowered Skills Chapter 5

[EP.5] Hwa’s fiance’s misunderstanding

The youngest daughter of the Hadenhartz family, the rulers of the North.

Bianca Hadenharz.

She had the coldest face in the North and was famous for being an expressionless woman, so much so that she was nicknamed Snow Woman.

Still, her looks were outstanding, and rumors abounded that she would later become a truly beautiful woman.

Why is she his fiancé?

The reason was really simple.

‘Because it’s perfect for an arranged marriage.’

Hadenhartz is good because it has a lot of connections with Valheim, and Valheim is good because there are times when you can use useless half-pins.

One way or another, both she and he were used as a result of an arranged marriage.

‘Well, it’s literally just an arranged marriage anyway.’

From the beginning, Bianca hated herself.

It won’t be that different this time either.

Rather, her real problem lay elsewhere.

Because she is the one who emerged from the erosion of the world.

Because he was the one who joined hands with the world eroders and tried to destroy the world.

white ghost

It was a nickname she earned after killing one of the world’s ten most powerful people in the past.

“Ask them to come in.”

I heard you came all the way from the north to meet your fiancé, but I can’t just let you go.

Above all, Krasch needed her just at the right time.

“Yes, I understand.”

After hearing Crashu’s command, Aliod left immediately.

Krasch looked at himself in the mirror provided in the study.

That’s pretty lame.

I guess I should at least change my clothes.

Thinking like that, Krasch walked forward to welcome the guest.

＊ ＊ ＊

Bianca Hadenharz.

The youngest daughter of the Hadenhartz family, the rulers of the North, and nicknamed the Snow Maiden, she had very white short hair.

As befits her nickname, Snow Woman, her skin was almost white, and she looked at her fingertips with eyes like blue moonlight.

The tips of her fingernails had strangely engraved snow crystal patterns.

It was none other than a symbol of curse.

Before she was born, her mother was caught up in the world’s erosion.

In the process, she was cursed, and the curse eventually spread to her in her stomach.

It was the curse of being a snow doll that could not feel any emotions.

Maybe it’s because it’s a curse that’s been with me since birth, and even my soul is tied to it.

Even Haesa couldn’t break this curse.

She lived without even crying, let alone laughing, until she was 12 years old.

Her face, which looked even colder due to her skin color and hair, was indeed a face with great expectations for the future, if only that expressionless expression were removed.

But even that appearance didn’t mean much.

This is because the gods will not come to make contracts with bodies that are contaminated by the curse of world erosion.

Therefore, she always lived a life of neglect in Hadenharz.

Because she had no emotions, she could not get along with people, and her siblings did not like her because she was a cursed child born after killing her mother.

Besides, he can’t even make a contract with God.

It had no value even in the family.

So she was easily sent into an arranged marriage.

The reason she visited Cheongsonggwan again today was to meet Krasch Walheim, who had been designated as her fiancé.

Valheim is the most famous for its inaction in the Staron Kingdom.

This is a family that unleashes so many monsters that even the empire cannot touch the Staron Kingdom just by its existence.

The fact that she was engaged to the youngest member of such a family was a huge opportunity for Hadenharz.

The reality is that even if they are the rulers of the North, they are ultimately pushed out in the center.

Today is my second meeting with my fiance.

Still, she felt no interest.

Because in her memories, Krasch was nothing more than a loser who gave up everything.

“go away. “Hadenhartz and all, don’t pretend to be your fiancé because you’re only interested in the power of Valheim.”

If she had to say it, Crasch was one of the people she hated.

Because he spoke harshly and looked at everything pessimistically.

Bianca may not have any emotions, but she does have likes and dislikes.

So Bianca was not very happy about this situation either.

This was because it was clear that Krasch would criticize him again.

Ttuktuk-tap-

At that moment, footsteps began to be heard outside.

Bianca noticed that the sound of those footsteps was Crashu and adjusted her clothes.

Perhaps because she had no emotions, even though she was 12 years old, she grew up so quickly that she was even quick to accept reality.

In the end, she was in a position to humble herself here.

Squeak-

Bianca’s head turned to the side with the sound of the door opening.

Then I saw Crashu open the door.

He has blue and black hair and blue eyes similar to his own.

He had a youthful face for a 13-year-old, and except for his rather fierce eyes, he looked pretty good.

“Bianca.”

“You’re here.”

When Bianca immediately responded with politeness, Crasch, who had been looking at Bianca for a moment, came and sat in the seat in front of her.

Then he looked at the cup of tea that he hadn’t even taken a sip from and said.

“Our maid had no sense. “Hot black tea for a cat’s tongue.”

Bianca paused when she saw Crasch smiling bitterly.

Where did you learn that you are not good at eating hot food?

But other than that, Bianca felt different from Crasch than before.

What can I say, it felt like the person himself was organized.

“I’ll tell the maid about this.”

Krasch said this and opened the container containing the cookies.

Then, as if it was natural, he placed macadamia cookies on Bianca’s plate.

Macadamia cookies were Bianca’s favorite flavor of cookies.

A moment when I was looking at Crasch’s natural, flowing actions a little blankly.

Krasch placed a cookie with chocolate in front of him and opened his mouth.

“Thank you for coming this far.”

“Because I’m your fiancé. “Her face needs to be pre-cooked.”

“okay? Considering all that, isn’t that the way you talk to your boss, not your fiancé?”

Krasch smiled slightly.

Thanks to this, his once fierce eyes softened a little.

Bianca, looking at that, slightly tilted her head.

“Crash, would it be okay if I ask you one thing?”

Seeing Bianca speaking in a way that was completely unsuitable for a 12-year-old, Crashu nodded.

“Did something happen?”

Just 5 months ago.

Krasch, who acted as if he didn’t even want to look at his own face, was so different from then.

He was never such a kind and caring person.

Did you have a change of heart during those five months?

In a way, it was a question that could make Krasch angry.

Krasch raised his teacup.

“Are you much different from me before?”

At that moment, Bianca, who heard Crasch’s words, was sorry.

At most, he was kind, but it was because I had doubts about it.

“… … sorry. “It was a mistake.”

Seeing her immediately correcting herself, Krasch took a sip of tea into her mouth.

To be honest, Krasch had no memory of how he had treated Bianca in the past.

My memories of my mid to late teens are vague, much less my early teens.

There was no way I could remember this time of year unless it was a special event like Aliod.

And it was the same when I first met Bianca.

What I vaguely know is that when I was young, I used to talk rudely here and there.

It was a time when the despair and frustration of the world became most extreme.

In some ways, it was a time when I couldn’t give up yet.

If you give up, there will be no despair or frustration.

“… … “You really haven’t changed.”

One thing is certain: Bianca was the same as ever.

Even on the day she met her end in front of the burning North Sea Ice Pavilion, she had the same expression as today.

And that scene still remained in Krasch’s memory.

“yes?”

When Bianca questioned Crashu after hearing him mutter to himself, Crashu waved his hand as if it was no big deal.

Then, after putting down the teacup, he put the cup in both hands and placed it on his legs.

“Bianca, I want to offer you something today.”

“You mean an offer?”

Bianca’s big blue eyes blinked.

He was wondering if Krashu, who was born in Valheim, the best place in the kingdom, had something to offer him.

“Has the engagement broken off?”

The first thing that Bianca thought of was breaking off the engagement.

But in reality, Crashu made a bewildered expression.

“Do you think we can break off the engagement that was decided between our families?”

That was it.

There was no way it would have been possible for the youngest two to do something that had never been done before.

“Maybe later.”

However, looking at his next words, it seemed like Krasch was looking into the distant future.

“Well, it would be better for you to break off the engagement as soon as possible rather than being tied down to a guy like me.”

Krasch let out a self-deprecating remark.

Bianca looked at Crasch blankly.

Bianca also knows his situation well.

Because I didn’t want to offend my fiancé, I studied Krasch.

So she knew very well that he was called the shame of Valheim.

‘But still, it’s Valheim.’

Even though he was born into a position that others would envy for his entire life, he had low self-esteem.

“I am Crashu’s fiancé.”

And he was her fiancé.

It will remain unchanged from now on.

“That will not change in the future.”

As long as the family line does not disappear, it will not change.

So, when she said that, Krasch burst into laughter.

Because she values ​​her family, what she said just now did not contain any of her personal feelings.

Because for her, emotions were something that couldn’t be created.

But still, at least I liked it more than just lip service.

“Anyway, it’s not a break-up, but I’d like to propose something else to you.”

After saying that, Crasch smiled slightly.

“I recently signed a contract with a god.”

Bianca was surprised for a moment.

On average, the age at which a person makes a contract with God is 15 years old.

But he is Valheim.

Most of the direct descendants of Valheim, who are watched by the gods from birth, complete their contracts with the gods before the age of ten.

As such, in fact, Krasch was much late.

But something to celebrate is something to celebrate.

“Congratulations.”

As Bianca congratulated him, Crasch nodded, unimpressed.

“And I want to receive your curse with the power awakened through God.”

“yes?”

But what came out of his mouth was something completely unexpected.

Bianca’s eyes blinked once as she asked inadvertently.

I want you to curse me.

It sounded so strange.

“I have some space to use.”

“You mean the curse?”

“Okay, if you give me that curse, I’ll give you anything you want. Of course, if you want, you can break off the engagement.”

Bianca was silent for a moment.

It was because I didn’t understand it.

‘Please curse me.’

Your curse is the curse of losing your emotions.

Why would you want to have such a curse?

“Are you planning to engrave the curse directly on your body?”

In Bianca’s situation, the absence of emotions was something she was used to.

If someone who already knows emotions did something like that, it would definitely cause great confusion.

Therefore, when Bianca asked, Crasch just nodded.

‘It was a curse that not even the world’s greatest sea warriors could break.’

Looking at Krasch’s reaction, it seemed as if he could take the curse for granted.

‘Did Mr. Crashu make a contract with such a god?’

Let’s say you can take the curse with you.

What is Krasch trying to do by stealing that curse and eliminating emotions?

Bianca looked back at Crasch’s information carefully.

He is Valheim’s half-pawn and is treated as a tool for an arranged marriage.

He clearly had a very bad relationship with his other direct relatives, and he gave up on himself.

He tries to erase his feelings.

‘You’re tired.’

The moment Bianca listed all the information, she realized something.

Krasch was exhausted.

I had to pour out so many emotions that I didn’t want to pour any more and ended up clinging to a curse.

And Bianca knew the end of a person whose emotions were so driven.

‘I said it was depression.’

I remembered something my uncle, a northern spiritual wizard who studied spirituality, had told me.

He often told Bianca various stories related to the spirit, and that was exactly what Crasch felt like now.

‘It is said that people change suddenly, and when you become kind to those around you, it is a process of telling the people around you the end.’

Bianca raised her head and looked at Crashu.

I didn’t know because I didn’t look closely, but I could see wounds and soggy skin here and there on his body.

‘Self-harm.’

Looking at it, Bianca realized that Crasch was hurting himself.

Krasch had been driven away to the extent that even the emotionless woman felt a little pity.

In reality, it is just a wound caused by diligent training in the secret arts.

‘Because I’m your fiancé.’

Bianca, who completely misunderstood Crasch, folded her hands over his.

“Crash, it’s okay. “I can overcome this.”

“Uh, huh?”

This time Krasch had a question.
