On the other hand, I was thinking of killing you for a split second.
âBut why do youâŠâŠ.â
Diwen stopped muttering and grabbed her as she stumbled.
No, itâs not. This is me stumbling, isnât it.
Diwen gritted his teeth at the feeling of falling into the deep water and losing his mind. If I didnât hold on to my mind with all my strength, I would fall down.
However, my attention continued to be focused elsewhere.
Why was this woman so sensitive to my death even after receiving this mission?
The mission comes from the bottom of the heart. You shouldnât be afraid of dying, isnât that what you should be hoping for?
Did you actually try to kill me?
No. Not only did she not have any hint of that, she even saved me.
So why?
Why did you save me.
âSay somethingâŠâŠ.â
âWhyâŠâŠâ
It was then. A creeping voice leaked from her limp body.
Diwen did not miss the voice and looked down with bated breath.
âWhy, I meanâŠâŠ.â
She murmured once more in a feeble voice.
Her hair fell down on her lowered head, revealing the nape of her neck.
The white nape of her neck was reflected in the moonlight and came into view. And how much sheâs sweating.
At first glance, as if she had fainted, she was barely standing while being held in Diwenâs hands.
At that moment, Diwen wondered what he was doing while holding on to her, whose fever was rising and was wheezing. So I tried to take her to the infirmary.
Even if my wrist wasnât gripped by her frighteningly cold hand, unlike the forearms that were hot from the heat.
âOf courseâŠâ
A voice full of heat, a little whisper that seemed to faint at any moment,
Even so, her hand wrapped around my wrist was full of strength.
As if to listen to herself quietly.

Seeing that unfamiliar appearance, Diwen stopped breathing.
Stop thinking and be still, very still⊠âŠ
âBecause I donât want to kill youâŠ.â
He listened attentively to every word.
Tuk, her arms finally dropped down and she rested her head on his chest.
Diwen almost hugged her like that, then looked blankly ahead.
When Diwen stumbled at the recoil, his opponent seemed a little embarrassed, and he spoke stiffly as if it had never happened.
âNow, what are you doing.â
It was Reden.
[Redenâs POV]
Reden looked strangely at Diwen, who was silent and pale, and strangely limp, he pulled him.
Then she fell like a doll with a broken string, so I caught her with my quick hands.
Everything that my hand touched was hot.
âWhat? What did you doâŠâ
Reden, who had been speaking harshly without even realizing it, stopped when he found the watch on the floor.
The clock pointed to a little past midnight.
Itâs past midnight and my younger sister, who was fine just a moment ago, is now boiling hot.
With those two facts alone, Reden was able to grasp what the situation was.
Damn it, I swore, lightly picked her up and carefully put her in a carriage that approaches just at the right moment. And as we were about to ride in the carriage together, I turned my head.
Diwen Fergus, the knight was covering his face with one hand for some reason, so his expression was not visible. What you can tell is that the atmosphere is different from usual.
âDid you notice that this child is also cursed?â
I wanted to ask but now was not the time.
Reden paid attention to his sister again and got into the carriage, and the carriage departed.
[Diwenâs POV]
The sound of the carriage gradually faded and then disappeared. Diwen nevertheless stood tall on the spot.
It was because two things that lingered in his ears confused him.
âBecause I donât want to kill youâŠ.â
One thing was her words stuck in my mind. The other thing isâŠ
Thump thump-
It was the sound of my heart beating loudly.
Ah, Diwen muttered a single word inwardly.
Is this pounding because of the bloody fever.
OrâŠ
If thatâs not the caseâŠ
Contrary to his behavior of repeatedly whispering as if denying reality, his ears were shining red under the moonlight.
-Donât forget, baby. All of this happened because of you.
-How nice it would have been if you had quietly followed my words.
A creepy laugh echoed at the end of a dismal voice. The girl with her hair covered continues to deny⊠âŠ
Heok, I took a deep breath and opened my eyes.
I couldnât grasp the situation with my heavy body and blank head, and it was only when I stupidly blinked for a long time, and then I remembered the last thing.
At midnight, a red window appeared. And the penalty isnât like seppukuâŠ
It was only then that I realized that the scenery coming into my field of vision was familiar.
âItâsâŠmy room. How did I come back.â
I donât remember very well.
I barely raised my body, as heavy as wet cotton, and looked out the window. It was still black, as if it were dawn.
Groaning, I barely got off the bed and pushed forward step by step, and sat down in front of the desk. Getting out of the damp bed, I felt like my head was spinning faster.
First of all, it seems like a week has passed seeing that only my body is heavy and everything else is fine. My body is heavy because I have been lying down for a week.
I sighed and tried to rest my chin, but my right arm didnât move very well, so I looked down and found that it was still fixed.
In response, I threw off the cumbersome brace, opened and closed my hand, and then turned my shoulder.
I didnât feel any pain other than a little soreness. Rather, the fingers that couldnât be gripped well hurt more.
Well, if itâs fixed for a week or so, itâll be fine now.
With that in mind, I immediately opened the drawer and took out the paper. Then, like a man going to war, I gripped the pen holder on the desk.
The dry throat shouted to drink water right away, but that was not the problem. The feeling that had subsided as soon as it was about to subside made a fuss about tidying up right away.
âYes. Now itâs time to do it.â
In an empty room, in a quiet environment.
And now, at dawn when sensitivity is bursting.
I was thinking of sorting out the contents of this damn novel I possessed.
âFirst of all⊠Should I write down the title first?â
I took out a candle stuck in the corner of the drawer and lit it because I thought to turn on the light, the light would leak out of the door gap or the window.
Subsequently, after crookedly writing âtitleâ, I was silent for a long time. The hand holding the pen did not move either.
The ink hanging from the tip of the pen couldnât hold out and fell. I stared blankly at the ink dripping on the paper, then admitted it with a sigh.
The fact that I canât remember the title.
âWell. Iâve read countless novels before I went to bed, but I canât remember themâŠâ
I murmured the fact that I realized as soon as I possessed it, enduring the urge to stretch out on the desk and clasped my chin.
When I was wasting time tapping the paper with the tip of a pen for no reason, I suddenly remembered a moment.
âMy brother considers him to be his muse now, but I still consider you my muse.â
âI get inspiration from the shell, but my older brother tends to get inspiration by talking to âhimâ.â
âThink about it. Whoâs in that shell right now.â
The weak hand went into a tight grip. Immediately, the fragile pen holder broke with a thundering sound, and I opened my hand in surprise to look at the fragments in my grip, while rubbing my face with the hand that my chin was resting on.
Yes. The reason I tried to recall the novel as soon as I came to my senses was because of the conversation I had with Bradley.
To understand his words, it was necessary to organize the novel.
Even though Iâm wasting time like this because Iâm blocked from the title.
âHaâŠâŠ. All right. Then letâs just sort out what we know roughly.â
I gathered the fragments of the pen holder and pushed them aside, took out a new pen holder and paper, and smeared the ink again.
With a squeak, squeak, I crookedly wrote âAnastasia Solenâ again and circled it quickly.
âThe reason was because of the missionâŠÂ Itâs probably right, right?â
It is still unclear. No one knows if that damn mission has been around since I was possessed or not.
But didnât Reden say that the other day. Seeing that Iâve been doing crazy things since 10 years ago, I wonder if the missions have popped up since then.
Suddenly, I wrote the words âten yearsâ and propped up my chin again.
âIn the first place, what was the âstoryâ of this novel?â
Usually, novels have content, donât they. The main character goes through a certain ordeal and overcomes that ordeal.
Strangely, however, I only remembered the setting of the characters rather than such important details.
How can this be? Usually, the contents of a novel are embedded in your brain, and donât you forget additional things like the name of the character or the setting?
I felt so pathetic that I couldnât remember not only the title but also the important contents, so I let out another heavy sigh.
I even wondered if I had read the novel.
âNo, noâŠâŠ If I hadnât read the novel, how would I have known and liked Anastasia?â
Talking to myself, I casually wrote the Bradley brothers next to my name on the paper.
Unfortunately, I didnât know their names, so I had to write them down as older brother Bradley and younger brother Bradley.
In fact, what Iâm most curious about is the relationship between the three. What is the relationship between these three?
I wrote down question marks and stamped the paper several times with the tip of a pen, then bit my lip and wrote muse and âhimâ.
I looked down at the paper with the question mark on it and rubbed my forehead. My head started to hurt, but I couldnât stop.
Once I started to organize things, things that I had been wondering about until now burst out.
4. And Bradley said he got a brooch from the muse. You said you met him two months ago, so maybe thatâs when you got it? Then the muse must have been the one who stole the dragon bones.
After being sick for a week, I wanted to give up and go back to bed as I tried to sort out the problems that seemed to explode as soon as I woke up.
In fact, lying halfway on the desk instead of the bed, I tried to ignore the throbbing temples and gazed at the flickering candle, then moved my hand as if possessed again.
I followed the stream of consciousness, completely ignoring everything I had organized by counting the numbers.
However⊠the spirit of the dragon that ate into Bradley also called the muse âhim.â The fact that a dragon who regards humans as inferior beings calls the muse âhimâ*âŠ

After endlessly writing down the points, I naturally drew an arrow.
And with a rather serious face, I scribbled briefly.
