Chapter 28. Awakening the sleeping spring. (10)
Emperor Theodore deliberately chose a room with thick walls as the saint’s residence.
The purpose was to visit the saint’s room at any time and vent out one’s anger.
puck! puck!
He poured out all his accumulated raw anger on Rachel,
Faaah!
Each time, Serenade recovered her master without fail.
How much time has passed?
“haha.”
Emperor Theodore finally stopped kicking with a satisfied look on his face.
Pot!
Rachel’s cheeks returned as clean as before,
Hold-
Emperor Theodore held it with one hand.
“Okay, this is it.”
He murmured, savoring the soft skin and tight elasticity under his fingers.
“This eternal youth is mine.”
Rachel’s closed eyelids fluttered. Emperor Theodore watched the slight tremors with his joyful eyes.
“I was barely able to be free, but it must be a shame to be caught like this.”
“… … .”
“There will be no second chances. “You won’t be able to escape my eyes from this emperor’s palace.”
Emperor Theodore laughed out loud on purpose.
Provoking Rachel was one of his nasty hobbies.
It couldn’t have been more fun when her helpless face was distorted as if she hated everything in the world.
however.
“Theo… … .”
A new, pitiful voice flowed from Rachel’s lips.
“-!”
Emperor Theodore froze on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning.
That was a nickname for herself that Rachel had never uttered before.
“Theo.”
Rachel whispered again, lifting one hand and placing it on top of his.
“I came back on purpose.”
Plus a soft voice that I’ve never heard before.
When Rachel talked to Theodore, she was always either irritated or indifferent.
I didn’t see or expect any other reactions.
Therefore, Rachel’s actions now were enough to throw Emperor Theodore into confusion.
“… … “What did you say now?”
Emperor Theodore asked back in a voice that was clearly bewildered. He was so surprised that he even missed what Rachel had said.
“You came back on purpose.”
Rachel’s fingers gently brushed the back of Emperor Theodore’s hand.
“to you.”
Emperor Theodore was lost in the sensation for a moment.
Rachel had never once reached out to him first. Even such a gentle touch.
“that is… … “What are you talking about?”
Emperor Theodore tried to distract himself from the sensation in his hand. And he gazed into Rachel’s moist green eyes.
“What I said in front of people earlier was because I thought that if I did that, the ‘Black Knight’ would reveal himself.”
“… … .”
“The Black Knight, he… … .”
Rachel bit her lip slightly.
“I am the owner of Requiem.”
Theodore’s eyes widened for a moment, but then slowly calmed down.
“… … also.”
He nodded and muttered.
“You were the master of Requiem. “Please explain.”
“The Black Knight, no, he’s crazy. “For coveting the lives of others.”
Rachel spoke to Theodore in a whispering voice.
“As soon as he saw me, he knew I was the owner of Serenade. “It was inevitable since the two swords were brothers.”
“… … .”
“I was in so much pain while I was with that guy. My life force was constantly being taken away, and even… … .”
Rachel closed her eyes as if she couldn’t bear to speak. A spark sparked in Theodore’s eyes at that pitiful sight.
“What did that bastard do to you?!”
“… … .”
Instead of answering, Rachel just sobbed. That alone sparked Theodore’s imagination.
“Have you seen this bastard!”
Theodore’s eyes burned brightly.
“Dare, dare…” … !”
You touch your own treasure. Something happened that should never have happened.

I will break his wrists, no, his head.
“I was able to escape thanks to the attention of my pursuers. “If it weren’t for them, I would be dead by now.”
Rachel finished speaking while rubbing her eyes.
“As soon as I got away from the Black Knight, I ran like crazy… … “When I think about it, there’s nothing left for me now.”
“… … .”
“I have no place to go and no one I know. What can I do like this… … ?”
Rachel’s voice became increasingly faint.
“When I went outside, I realized. How luxurious I lived… … .”
Rachel approached Emperor Theodore.
“The Black Knight will try to find me no matter what. “Because he is a being who can stably provide life to himself.”
Emperor Theodore looked at Rachel as if she were fascinated.
“Theo, please. “Please protect me.”
Rachel slowly approached and leaned against Emperor Theodore.
“I don’t want to die from that guy… … . “I’ll do whatever you ask, okay?”
“… … .”
“I won’t engage in unnecessary resistance. Please, Theo… … .”
Feeling the warmth of Rachel wrapped in his arms, Theodore felt his heart swell with pride.
‘at las.’
Rachel and Serenade were completely in my hands.
I was very proud that the animal that had been so vicious had finally given up on me.
No, it feels like having a proper name engraved on something that I worked hard on for a long time.
‘Okay, where would you like to go?’
There was no place for Rachel to return but to me.
The brief deviation actually made Rachel realize her difficult situation. He felt that his wings had been completely broken.
“Yes, Rachel.”
Theodore smiled softly and pulled Rachel’s body closer.
“I will soon form an army to deal with the Ardante family. And I will use that as an excuse to bring in the Black Knight.”
Rachel trembled slightly when she felt Theodore’s touch. Theodore smiled, believing it was out of joy.
“No matter how strong he is, he won’t be able to do anything in a place full of powerful people from all over the country.”
Theodore’s voice was stained with cruel blood.
“If the owner of Requiem does not give in, we will have no choice but to kill him.”
Rachel buried her face in Theodore without saying a word.
Even for a moment,
“… … .”
A meaningful smile flashed across Rachel’s pink lips.
* * *
“… … “Then, what should I do?”
Countess Barnes’ lips trembled. She had her beautiful face hidden under her robe.
Snap, tap.
There are rats crawling under the floor,
Squeak, squeal.
The damp floor made an unpleasant sound.
It was not a place for a famous countess to come. It was a dirty and smelly back alley where people who were at the end of their lives gathered.
However, she was in such dire straits that she came here with her identity hidden.
“Hmm… … .”
The old fortune teller did not give an easy answer. I was just lost in thought as I touched the crystal ball with the golden stars twinkling.
“Honey, why are you stopping? “Don’t tell me right away.”
Countess Barnes was anxiously warming her body as if she was in a hot mood.
“It’s difficult, it’s difficult.”
The old fortune teller clicked her tongue lowly.
“All escape routes are blocked. “Everyone I had interacted with turned their backs on me.”
“Well, that’s… … .”
Countess Barnes clutched the hem of her skirt.
In the meantime, the Barnes family used the connections they had built up in the social world for business.
Their main products were spices and high-quality fabrics, which were essential luxury goods.
However, at some point, the business began to strangely not go well.
Illegal collection of spice ingredients was discovered, or similar products were released as soon as a new product was released.
Employees who have worked together for a long time suddenly quit, or dissatisfied reviews pour in after using the product.
Bad news continued to overlap to an inexplicable degree, and the family was now in danger of collapsing.
“That, I mean… … .”
The old fortune teller’s words hit the nail on the head for Countess Barnes. Because her family was currently stuck in a dead end with no way out.
“… … “I guess that’s why I came to you.”
Countess Barnes suppressed her voice.
It was so deplorable that I had fallen to such an abyss that I had to beg for my future from this old fortune teller.
“If there is a better way, please let me know. “What can we do to save our family?”
“Hmm… … .”
Every time the old fortune teller moved her hand, the black star in the crystal ball twinkled.
I spent a lot of time like that,
“There are dark clouds over the sun.”
Finally, the old fortune teller opened her mouth.
“-!”
Countess Barnes was startled and shook her shoulders. She was clever and immediately realized what the old woman meant.
“… … “Are there very dark clouds?”
“This is an unprecedented dark cloud. However, a powerful sun is rising that will sweep away all the dark clouds.”
Every time the old fortune teller spoke one word, sparks flew between the stars in the crystal ball.
As if warning you not to reveal heavenly secrets.
“If we do not pursue the new sun, we will become extinct.”
Countess Barnes listened to the old woman with her mouth slightly open.
“Even if it means offering a living sacrifice, you must receive sunlight under the new sun.”
After finishing speaking, the old fortune teller gasped. The crystal ball became pitch black, as if it had completely burned, and he became unable to see what was inside.
“What you’re saying is… … .”
Countess Barnes leaned over and whispered to the old woman.
“… … .”
The old woman heard her words and nodded slightly. He then added in a stubborn tone.
“Ask no more. “It can make you angry.”
“Oh, I understand.”
Countess Barnes took out a bag of money from her bosom and put it down.
“This is the price of Bokchae.”
A dark smile spread across the old woman’s lips as she opened her pocket.
“You have plenty to spend. Thank you.”
The old woman added to Countess Barnes, who stood up from her seat.
“Precious Sir, what happened today must not be revealed to anyone.”
“I know very well.”
Countess Barnes nodded heavily. She fastened her robe and walked out her door.
Sigh.
The wooden door that made an unpleasant sound closed.
“… … Hmm.”
The old fortune-teller stared at the closed door with an incomprehensible expression.
After a while,
“Can we do it like this?”
The fortune-telling old woman spoke quietly.
Sze-
Someone stood up from behind the thick curtain spread behind her.
“Good job.”
She was a woman with a voice as smooth as a glass bead.
Jallang!
The pouch flew from her hand and fell to the floor.
The old woman giggled and picked up the bag. Inside was a gold coin worth ten times the amount that Countess Barnes had offered.
The woman who was quietly watching said.
“What happened today… … .”
“I will leave it at that regardless.”
The old woman answered immediately without hesitation.
“I know very well that if you want, you can erase someone like me from the world.”
“Good.”
There was a slight sense of satisfaction in the tone of the woman who answered. Without delay, she left the old fortune teller’s house.
“Whoa.”
The woman who came out, Elice, took off the veil that covered her face.
Beautiful blue eyes sparkled mercilessly, and a bloody vengeance spread over tightly closed red lips.
“at las… … .”
The time to end the Barnes family was approaching.
Same time.
“Did you receive your family name too?”
Bennett Seymour asked with a serious face. Carlisle Pale Dawn, who was standing in front of him, nodded her head.
“Yes. “An official letter was sent to every family.”
It was an official document from the imperial family declaring war. To purge the traitors who dared to pollute the temple with blood and aim their swords at the imperial family.
The tip of the imperial sword was aimed at the Ardante family of Cain and Carlo.
