Chapter 71
1STKISSNOVEL. DO NOT STEAL MY TRANSLATION!\nJust as Shaula reached out to lift the cloth, a tremendous amount of murderous energy struck her.
“Ugh!”
Shaula was used to being attacked so in an instant, she swiftly moved back 10 meters.
Shaula raised her head and her face became contorted.
After a moment, she recognized the man who had attacked her and she rubbed her eyes.
“This is strange. How come you look just like a person I know? But that person has never come all the way out here…”
“…”
“He’s not a great person to attack without warning like this.”
“…”
The man didn’t respond to what she’d said as a joke, but the waves of murderous intent directed at her made it clear that the man would never let this slide.
The scent was blown away by the man, so Shaula was able to shake off her strange feelings of possessiveness.
Well, some of them at least.
Laying down her sword with her numb hand, she meekly declared her surrender.
“You’re really mad….Is it because of that thing? I won’t touch it! I was wrong! I know my life is wasted!”
Aedis walked over to the cloth-covered thing, not easing his momentum in the slightest.
As if he was not at all curious about its identity, he turned away from it as soon as he had made a new barrier and covered it with soil again.
“You. Follow me.”
He left no room for refusal.
Shaula just shrugged her shoulders and grabbed her sword.
As soon as she realized that Zaha had regained energy and Aedis had recreated the barrier, Shaula knew that she wouldn’t be able to get that item no matter what she did.
And that wasn’t the case just for Shaula either.
It was safe to say that this was now the safest place in the world for it.
Shaula estimated that when Aedis appeared, more than 30% of the beasts that swarmed the quarry had died instantly.
And he didn’t even do anything other than release his murderous energy.
“Is the expulsion order lifted, my Lord?”
This time, Aedis didn’t answer. It was then that Shaula realized that Aedis’s behavior was strange.
His face was filled with contemplation and he looked as if he had been through something so terrible that it was hard to put into words.
“Did the empire fall?”
“That would have been better.”
Aedis, who replied dryly, transported them out of space.
It seems she’s gotten to see two rare sights today.
 
I was confused. Someone kept calling me.
“…Your Grace, Your Grace! Open your eyes!”
It was Sarah’s very familiar voice.
I wanted to tell her not to cry, that everything was okay, and not to scream into my ears, but my body didn’t move as I wanted.
All I could do was vomit blood and groan.
Strangely, each time a lump of blood came up, someone immediately changed my position so that my airway wouldn’t be blocked. But the hand was as big as a man’s, so it definitely wasn’t Sarah.
The day I separated from the beast, I had asked what would happen if the contract was broken.\n────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
