Capitulo 139
Episode 139
Andrew shook his head as if it didn’t make sense what he heard.
And he grabbed me by the shoulders and said in a suppressed voice almost shouting.
Why don’t you believe me? I was controlled by her.
Whatever the reason, it’s true that you liked Tatiana. Even knowing how she treated me.
I was already out there.
You’re just like Tatiana, you blame others. You two look good together.
His face, which had been sadly crestfallen until now, hardened.
He got up from his place and turned around.
Then he walked over to Tatiana, who was lying down.
I know you are awake.
And he reached out and forced her to sit up.
The violent appearance of his behavior made me tremble without realizing it.
Tatiana, whose face was ruined by tears, looked at me as if she was going to kill me.
As if she had taken Andrew away from me.
You really can do what you said then, can’t you?
I said I’d have to do it to find out.
Then do it right now.
What are you trying to do?
I tried to hide my anxiety and looked at Tatiana.
What are they planning?
Oh, you don’t need to know.
She couldn’t even look me in the eye and I couldn’t believe what she was saying.
She stood in front of me fiddling with the bracelet.
As if you were trying to check for affection.
I don’t think so, what are you going to do with me with that bracelet?
Calm down.
Tatiana muttered under her breath.
Her white face was red, perhaps annoyed.
You know you can’t.
If Tatiana could manipulate my affinity, she would have done it by now.
I sighed as I looked at her crying struggling to do something.
Still?
At Andrew’s voice, Tatiana raised her head and said sharply.
Please be quiet for a moment. If it were going to be that easy, I would have done it by now…..
Andrew reached out and covered Tatiana’s mouth.
He looked at the window for a moment and got up from his place.
Stand still here. If you go out without my permission, your feet will be compromised and I can cut them off, so be careful.
…
She raised her hand and said, summoning with her magic.
Although he was quite far away, I felt a chill in his eyes.
I wish you couldn’t move.
You’re crazy.
He smiled broadly as if he had been praised and walked out.
The tension eased a little when Andrew came out.
How did he use magic?
Isn’t this the golden forest?
The use of magic was almost impossible.
It would be possible if there were high quality seasonal stones, but they were few to set up in a hut of this size.
And if seasonal stones of that size were exchanged, there was no way to hide it from Aster.
This was not the time to think about this.
First was to find a way out of here. To do that, I first had to untie this rope.
I turned my back and saw Tatiana, who was silent.
Tatiana.
She didn’t answer.
Tatiana Gloucester.
I called her name again. Tatiana’s face looking back seemed sadder than ever.
It was natural that the man she loved would make such an insult in front of her eyes.
But I didn’t want to sympathize with her.
Because I have gone through the same thing in front of Tatiana.
Let me go.
Why me?
If you let me go, I’ll tell you how to get Andrew back to normal.
Only then did Tatiana’s face change.
What do you mean?
Do you know why Andrew is like this?
I said and looked at his bracelet.
Tatiana reflexively raised her hand to cover the bracelet.
Hey, can you return Andy to his original form?
Yes. I can do it before the bracelet worked.
So, you mean he could go back to before he loved me?
I don’t know. If he really loved you, he’d still be the way you wanted him to be, and if not, I think he’d be more polite than he is now.
Despite this, she hesitated.
Seeing Tatiana like this, I realized her sincerity.
She really loved Andrew.
To the point that he couldn’t be compared to other male leads.
Are you serious about Andrew?
I’ve always been sincere.
Bullshit. You said you loved everyone and you always drew a line.
…
Tatiana pondered for a moment, then reached over and began to untie the ropes that bound me.
Her delicate palms were scraped from trying to untie with her bare hands without any special equipment.
Tatiana’s sweaty face showed how desperate she was.
«This woman is always desperate for love.»
Unlike me, who stepped back and looked at the relationship, Tatiana was blindly obsessed with getting attention.
She never hides her feelings of sympathy and love.
«How could she be so sure?»
She didn’t even know that this world was a game world, but she was sure that the male protagonists would love her.
Even someone like me can feel it.
I thought I knew Tatiana well, but now that I think about it, there are so many things I don’t know.
I thought I knew the game well enough to remember all the content of the original.
It’s over!
How long it’s been.
Tatiana, who had been working hard to untie the rope, quickly backed away.
Thank you. I’ll be sure to return the archduke to normal….
Suddenly, a roar was heard outside.
I felt an eerie magical energy that sent a chill down my back and then disappeared.
At the same time, the barrier around us disappeared.
I think Andrew had been caught.
Tatiana’s face turned pale, probably thinking similarly to mine.
She hurried to run away.
I followed her too.
There was a pungent smell, as if it was fire, as I was going in the direction from which the sound was heard.
And there was a clear ground in the center.
As if it had just been created by an explosion, a scorching heat spread through the air.
Not far away, as if caught in the blast, Andrew collapsed.
Andy!
Without knowing it, I caught Tatiana, who was about to run to him.
Is it because he’s been through enough crises?
A terrifying energy was felt in the center of the explosion, where the smoke had not yet spread.
Tatiana also looked as if she had felt something strange later.
Finally, a familiar face appeared.
Aster.
With the necklace Andrew held pinned to his body, Aster stared up at the sky.
* * *
Not long after Andrew escaped with Karina, one or two people began to wake up.
Raymond was the first to wake up.
He immediately checked the podium.
Karina was gone.
Where did Karina go?
Raymond, who had asked Aster who was alone, stiffened without realizing it.
It was because Aster, who was always smiling and relaxed, was tense.
Go back and inform the tower master that Karina has been kidnapped by the Archduke. If there is a wizard who knows about ancient magic tools, bring him along.
Raymond nodded involuntarily, overwhelmed by his impulse.
Soon, Duke Pioneer, who had been lying near the podium, came to his senses.
How the hell did this happen… Ahg, where’s Karin?
He too looked for his daughter immediately.
The emperor looked around, lifted the duke and whispered softly.
Let’s talk about it somewhere else. There are too many eyes here.
At Aster’s words, the duke’s mind got an idea.
As he belatedly entered the scene, he saw Andrew pointing his sword at the Emperor and Karina.
Shortly after Andrew took the necklace and shook it, he lost his mind….
The Duke, who more or less predicted what had happened, swallowed his words and made his way to the room to which the knight had led him.
Duke Malphyrion, stay here and clean up the surroundings. If you find Lily, Karina’s maid, send her to the conference room.
Yes!
Lord Wilhelm. Follow me.
Aster divided the work and headed for the conference room where Duke Pioneer was waiting.
With a totally practical layout, the desolate meeting room felt more stuffy today.
Did that man blackmail them with me?
Aster nodded silently at the Duke’s words.
Duke Pioneer shook his hand and muttered.
I will never forgive him.
It’s okay to be angry, but for now, we must look at the situation calmly. Before Karina left, she said that she could tell her pet named Fio to follow her.
Aster thought for a moment before opening his mouth.
But Andrew couldn’t have gone that far. It’s not easy to move even with the Grand Duchess, completely eliminating traces of magic power.
Besides, he used the complicated teleportation magic.
Maybe he is in the capital, or near the capital.
And within that range, there was only one best place to hide.
