Thus, Nocton Edgar hypnotized Sheryl Bornaine, who was about the same age as Valrose, and the result was she
fell in love
with the boy she was trying to mock.
Nocton spent a few days with Bornaine. But to put it to the conclusion, he wasn’t happy at all.
He felt like he was looking at a doll that was making him feel remorse.
‘
What am I doing now?’
He sent Sheryl Bornaine back, and stared down at the lake.
Originally, it’s a place that has no meaning, but since Roa Valrose leave that place, Nocton found himself stared at the lake repeatedly.
He felt so lonely that he get even more confused.
As he watched the flow of the water, he suddenly felt as if he had seen a soft purple light, and he reached out his hand.
But there was nothing in the grasp of his hand that came out of the water.
Nocton Edgar turned away, frowned on his feelings. He bit his lips again and jumped into the lake impulsively.
He only realized that he didn’t take off his shoes when the sound of the cavalry came out, but it’s still a good thing.
He has never been able to swim properly, but it was not difficult.
The water was strange. His eyes didn’t open properly and the ears were eaten by the water.
It wasn’t very pleasant, but something occurred to him.
Valrose was watching this same scene at the time.
As soon as he activated his Mana, his senses were much clearer, but there was a difference outside the water.
When he wandered about in the water, Nocton suddenly stopped.
The lake was not very big and not very deep. But it was a small size bigger than a pool of water. Since it’s not the sea, the water flows rather slowly, so
it
still remained there.
Strangely enough, a cuff button came into his eyes.
A lotus-purple cuff lying on the floor.
The dark, lonely, abandoned cuff button looked like him.
It’s funny.
He was the one who threw it out, and now he’s drunk with self-pity.
He could not stay underwater just because he had better physical abilities than others, and he started to run out of breath.
Nocton hesitated for a moment, but soon reached out and grabbed the button.
‘Why did you pick this up?’
He came out of the water and laughed in vain, but nevertheless he carefully wiped the water from the cuff button and put it in the box he had previously picked up.
The thing seemed more meaningful at that time, as he thought he would never be able to get close to her again.
Then, at a party a few days later, he had an eye-to-eye encounter with Roa Valrose.
And another few days later, the day after that, Roa Valrose visited the Duke again.
“Umh … Hi, Nocton.”
Maybe the hypnosis hasn’t gone yet, if it’s not….
However, it was quite strange.
Even after that incident, Valrose still came back, and even though his attempt to drive Valrose away failed, he was not angry.
Even though Valrose dropped his hard-earned old book into the lake, he didn’t care a bit.
He was more worried about Valrose drowning than a mere book.
And when Valrose laughed after she saw he was drenched in water, he is not angry even though his mouth was clenched and he is not aware of the fact that he was involved in the whole thing with Valrose.
It was full of strange things, as if he was the one who’s under hypnosis.
