The handsome, black-haired man, who owned the tower was called a madman along with the rumors that he was beautiful.
When Leticia was dying, he was a vicious demon worshipper who was also the one who shot an arrow at the Princess of the holy family. He was a great man who would not blink even if the Maner family, who was happily watching the execution, were shocked.
No one would have touched him, even if Leticia’s breath stopped and ruined the family’s sacred ritual.
Eli was named after the great sage Abraham.
He was the owner of the tower and the only being who could write the next chapter of the ancient book 『 Hebron 』. So, it was clear that he returned to the tower after killing Leticia by shooting a golden arrow filled with magic, not giving her any wound.
‘That must’ve been what happened.’
She didn’t know for sure what happened to the Magic Tower in her past life, though she had to meet him now.
Nevertheless, Leticia had never met Eli personally.
It was only natural. Eli’s family, the Nervad, had worshipped the devil since they founded their family. From the King of the Seven Sins, Ivlis, to the other six Great Demons.
On the other hand, Leticia’s family, Maner, has worshiped only the Great Saint Hildegard as the only god. So, even if she was a commoner, it was unimaginable for Leticia, the Princess of the holy family, to meet Eli.
That was a deception by her father, the head of the household, so she had nothing to say even if she was thrown with a pile of stones. It was because if she had met up with Eli, she could’ve been kicked out of the family.
Leticia wrote Eli’s name in the corner of the children’s book. Perhaps, because it was written in the ancient language, the name ‘Eli Nervad’ seemed like a devil and a close friend.
With that thought, she stopped to underline Eli’s name.
She followed the instructions of her father in order to be recognized by the family. It was also part of her father’s teaching to ‘not meet with the Nervad family, who was cunning and treacherous.
Instead of underlining it, Leticia encircled the name. She also added three asterisks as a sign of confidence.
“Even if I get slapped on the cheek, I must see Eli Nervad… No matter what.”
The current Eli now was a successor of a difficult situation, if not a child who doesn’t know anything.
It was because his own father, Marquis Nervad, had set his eyes on fire to kill his own son. In the end, it was the Marquis Nervad who died, although it was Eli who suffered all kinds of trouble until he took over the title of Marquis after killing his father.
At the age of fourteen, he lost one of his eyes due to his father’s trick.
“A grace is a grace.”
At least, she wouldn’t have to pay for the kindness he gave her to rest quickly.
Eventually, Leticia removed the quill only after the paper tore.
“My hands are dirty.”
She then approached the window and reached for the pure white curtain that Kara had just hung, then wiped the blank ink off her hands.
“An enemy is an enemy…”
Muttering so, she recalled the crest of the Nervad family.
In the hot summer wind, the stained curtains flutter. As if it as her fate, Leticia glanced up at the stained curtain for a long time. The curtains on either side of the two large windows swayed helplessly in the wind.
At the same time, the insults that tormented the young Leticia crept up.
, you came early today.”
“I always made the Priest wait.”
Leticia spoke softly and sat down on the chair the knight pulled out for her. Her movement was very natural, like a flowing water, so Gamal couldn’t take his eyes off her.
