Chapter 2

A heavy sack of chips fell on the floor. Her shoulders almost fell off all the way, but it wasn’t hard at all. Soon, the chips in that bag will turn into money. Cersinia’s eyes swollen in anticipation.

“Change it to money.”

“Ugh.”

The male employee at the counter opened his eyes wide as if surprised.

‘Yes, you see so many chips for the first time.’ Cersinia shrugged at the frustration.

“Excuse me…”

However, the reaction of the staff is strange. Why is it that you rubbed your forehead, sweating, and shaking your eyes as if you are troubled? Cersinia’s facial expressions quickly hardened.

“I asked you to change it.”

“Well, I mean, it’s…”

Her eyebrows flinched at the attitude of the staff, who looked away from her. This is not her desired reaction. She was hoping to change the chips in the sack into money with a quick move … Something is wrong

“Sorry, sorry!”

The employee apologized, bending his waist 90 degrees. No matter how sharply he got up, the chair he was sitting on was thrown back, making a tangled sound.

“What.”

“Please wait… I will be receiving money pretty soon.”

“Yeah, what are you talking about? Change it right now.”

How did you get the money, this is the answer now. Cersinia grinded this. You have to have money to have fun and eat all your life to live quietly. That’s why she recklessly went all-in … It doesn’t make any sense that things are distorted in this way, with new life right in front of her. If anything interferes with her plan, she will not forgive it. Her blood rose as she clenched her fist into a ball.

“Oh, please wait a few days, no, if you wait just a week …….”

Even before the staff finished his sentence, Cersinia lifted her legs and put them down on the platform. Quadang! A desk made of solid wood was split into two after the dull sound. The mouth of the employee who witnessed the sight opened wide. 1

“If you don’t want to be like this, get the money right now.”

Even with a thick desk on one leg, Cersinia’s face was still calm. She could only feel a little vibration on her heel, but it didn’t hurt much. It is no wonder that Cersinia also had good physical strength. Several adult men can easily be overpowered by her. That way she can survive all kinds of evil. Because Cersinia must die at the end of the day only at the hand of the prince himself.

It was the price set by the damn author. She forgot this setting and ate at a table on the first day of her awakening. The moment she put her cup down, she couldn’t control her strength well, and the table broke in two with the cup. Since that day she has mastered how to control her strength. She didn’t feel the need to control it now. 4

“Oh, please! He said he needed some time because the amount is too high!”

The employee fell on his knees as he judged the situation quickly.

He begged with enough heat in both hands. Her languid eyes overlooking the staff passed through the heat.

‘A gambling house does not have enough cash?’ That doesn’t make sense. She wanted to burn all the things that kept her from moving forward. Still, she endured her instinct because magic will hinder her from having a normal life.

‘But it’s gonna be okay. ‘

It’ll be fine to show you a little bit just to scare you. If you knew what kind of power I had, you would never think of holding money. Cersina calmly breathed in. Hot heat was gathering at the tip of her hand. The heat gathered at her fingertips quickly spread through her body. As the heat from head to toe rose, her long red hair, which had settled down calmly, gently fluttered as if it had been blown away by the wind.

Her hair shakes in a room with no wind. The employee’s face turned pale white.

‘It’s the first time you’ve seen it. It’s my first time using it.’

It wasn’t as pleasant as I thought it would be to use full strength. It was different from when the fire was low to cook the food. Cersinia stretched out her right hand at the thought of scaring the staff and ending it.

“Collateral! I’ll leave a collateral to you!”

The staff, terrified, shuddered and whispered what had come to mind. I shouted so loudly that my ears were tingling. She lowered her hand with a discontented look. The heat that had been collected at the fingertips was being drained, vowing to double the taste of nonsense.

“Collateral?”

“Yes! Back there……”

Following the employee’s straight fingers, Cersinia’s head turned. A boy sat crouching all over at the edge of the wall at the currency exchange where her gaze touched. With his hands and feet tied tight with ropes….

“Oh, my God.”

She was so annoyed that she stared at the staff with all of her might.

“Are you kidding me? Why is he a guarantee?”

“He is a slave that was bought a while ago!”

The unhumanized word made Cersinia’s face crumpled even more. ‘I don’t think I can do this.’ He is now looking down on himself. There is one more reason to give him a scolding. Cersinia got heated up again and focused on her magic once more.

“Really! That slave is very expensive!”

Her focus was soon broken. Her reasoning was cut off.

“That means you have money to buy slaves and no money to exchange my chips?”

“Hyup!”

The employee realized that the word he had just spoken was wrong and couldn’t continue to speak. Her stomach boiled. If she didn’t cool the heat right away, she thought she would make this place a sea of fire. She had to endure the trembling on her fingertips and had to vent her anger in other ways.

‘Clang!’

Cersinia threw the white porcelain in front of her eyes. White porcelain hit the wall and shattered.

“Ah!”

The employee was ridiculously scared behind. She wasn’t able to vent down just with this and threw a chair nearby too. The chair fell to the floor with a broken leg that it could not function properly anymore. It was not enough though. Because of the heat that wasn’t released, her head was steaming. Cersinia grudgingly shakes her shoulder like an angry bull.

“Please take the collateral and wait, and you’ll be able to make money at any cost.”

The frightened man cried.

“Hoo.”

A hot breath flowed out with a sigh. Cersinia roughly swept her heating anger that came down. Anyway, she was tempted by the employee, since there was no money anyway. She calmly ruled her mind to think rationally.

‘I have to take the real collateral. “

She looked at the child. The frightened child’s body was shaking.

“Help me .. “

She heard a voice trembling enough. Her gaze naturally stayed at the child. The child was wearing a giant garment that could not be seen as clothing. In addition, there was a long, red wound on his limbs.

Some of the wounds were discolored because they were old, and there were also wounds that had been cracked shortly after they had been formed.

‘It’s terrible.’

She was forced to see him. The body of the child was too dry and had only bones that it hardly can be gripped anywhere. When the turbulent atmosphere finally became quiet, he lifted his head to understand the situation. Cersinia started staring at the face of the child with his head raised.

She caught a glimpse of the dark yellow eyes between his messy hair.

‘How much do you starve to end up like this?’

Cersinia looked at the child’s face, biting her lips. The figure of a child with two cheeks pitted because he had no flesh was so sad that she could not see it. Lips were hardened through the cracks, and his body without muscles and fat was colored with skin. If she looked away from this, she would be stabbed by her own conscience.

Clearly, if she let go, she won’t sleep all night. It doesn’t matter if she hasn’t seen it, but it’s hard to let it go since she already noticed it.

‘Oh, really….’

Cersinia approached the child. The child may be bothered, but as the employee said, she is only taking him as collateral. She really needed the money. So they had to figure out a way to get the money in any way. Every time she stepped, the child pulled back in fear. He had nowhere else to go, but he kept his body as close as he could to the wall. She didn’t feel very good because she felt like she was a monster. However, she decided to understand and move on because it means that there are so many scars left on the boy.

“What are you doing, untie him.”

She gave orders to the employee who was looking blankly. The staff rushed to Cersinia’s instructions. The rope that tied the child’s hands and feet fell to the floor.

“Let’s go.”

Cersinia reached out to the child. The child looked at his hands gently and slowly raised his head to capture hers. The child’s eyes were shaking. It was obvious what he was worried about.

He was wondering whether he should stay here or follow her. Cersinia waited silently. Because she wanted him to judge for himself. The child looked alternately at her face and hands as if hesitating several times. It was time for Cersinia to be angry with her fiery personality. But she was able to endure this waiting. Of course, Cersinia wouldn’t have done anything of no value in the first place. The child looked at her red like flame eyes and swallowed dry saliva. His whole body, chilled with tension, felt like melting into the hot snowy road.

The child couldn’t resist the glare. The child, fascinated by the intense gaze that warmed his heart, raised his hand without realizing it. It was at that moment, the hands of the child that was as cold as an ice sheet, were laid on Cersinia’s burning hot palm.

“As you say, it’s collateral, so I’m taking him. So remember it yourself. If you don’t exchange my money in a week, I’ll turn everything upside down. “

The staff nodded several times and returned an answer.

‘I’m sure you’ve figured it out.’ Cersinia grabbed the child’s hand and took her bag of chips and left the secret room. This was her first meeting with Ben.
