31. Demons

“hehehehe.”

The sound of humming from inside the carriage was unexpectedly pleasant to hear, so I looked at Illuania sitting across from me without realizing it.

Then, as if embarrassed, she lowered her head and apologized.

“sorry. Was it noisy?”

In the past, when she was working at Changgwan, she used to speak rudely, but now that she came in as my maid, she started to speak with respect.

Judging from how well he did it without being too awkward, it seemed to suit her better.

“No, I was surprised that it was sweeter than I thought.”

“Yes? You often sang lullabies.”

“… … .”

Was it

Silenced for no reason, I slowly turn my head. Then, Illuania said that she was just curious and tried to talk while the words came out.

“But a lot has changed in just a few months. I feel like a completely different person.”

“… … I heard iron. I want you to think that way.”

Deia told the truth because she was her younger sister, but Illuania didn’t have to tell her that much.

After briefly evading, Illuania nodded and held her stomach as if embarrassed.

“Since I am not single anymore, it will be difficult for me to work the night shift like in the past.”

“Yes, I have no intention of wishing that of you either.”

Illuania smiled as if she was relieved by my words. In fact, the reason for taking her was not to wait on her, but for a different purpose.

I cautiously asked Illuania who was smiling.

“By the way, do you know who the father is?”

Wouldn’t it be hard to find her due to the nature of her job? Also, even if you are looking for it, will you be able to have a proper family?

I was worried about that

“Yes? It doesn’t matter.”

An unexpected answer popped out of nowhere.

“Hmm?”

Brown eyes filled with sincerity. She looked like she didn’t care what the child’s father was.

“I always wanted to have children. To this child, I will give all the love I never received.”

“… … .”

Because she did not receive love, she was looking for someone to pour her overflowing love into.

After all, the spouse also becomes a stranger when the marriage vow is broken. What Illuania longed for was a family with an unchanging relationship.

then it would have been

Please, love hard and live.

[Oh, you are a good mother.]

The soft voice from the side was something I had heard before.

A disfigured woman with half of her face burned from the carriage she saw on the way to Northwesten after being dismissed from the Robern Academy.

“Long time no see.”

I naturally twist the flow of conversation. Illuania looked at me and asked what I was talking about, but I naturally put my finger on my mouth as I rested my elbow on the window frame of the carriage.

It was a gesture to be quiet.

[It’s only been about a month. Huhu, the conversation with you at that time was very enjoyable?]

“Neither do I.”

[Are you making love with the maid and escaping? Is the child in there your child?]

“No, it is not. How have you been since then?”

[How are you. Then, are you impregnating the maid and just making her work?]

“I said it’s not my child.”

[Oh, right? sorry. Then, are you forcibly committing it and just pretending not to know?]

bite your lips

I deliberately tried to talk to him in order to change the subject, but the body of the car was shaking from the overflowing evil spirit’s resentment.

Illuania misunderstood that the bumps had become worse because it was simply a slope.

“He is the child she wants. I will also support that child to grow up well.”

[okay? How.]

I thought I said it well.

[You say the same thing as I heard.]

Not knowing what was going on inside her became a deep setback.

The clothes she was wearing and her way of speaking made her feel like a noble lady, so she spoke accordingly, but it seemed like she was wrong.

Roaring!

One side of the wagon burns. To be precise, sparks rose from half of her side and began to burn the wagon.

[To that maid! You smell thick! I still deny it! You’re lying!]

Illuania panicked at the sudden situation. I hugged her tightly and broke one wall of the wagon with magic.

A strong wind blows as if to swallow us. The coachman was also hastily building his horse, as if he felt that the situation was not serious.

[You guys! my child too! I also! Let’s say I love you so much! Eventually! I killed them all!]

“I am not the man you know.”

[Shut up! You didn’t even have to kill the child! I just said I would live quietly!]

All the souls in my family were put to rest, so I didn’t have any souls that I could use with magic.

“Hold tight.”

“Yes, four?!”

I hugged Illuania tightly and jumped out of the wagon. His speed was gradually slowing down, so he couldn’t be hurt enough by using basic wind magic.

[My child! my child! my child!]

The carriage burns. The coachman who was driving the horse also hurriedly separated the wagon and horse joints and jumped off.

The half-burning woman was approaching me, glaring at me.

Ordinary women, especially those with children involved, feel deep resentment.

Knowing that, I deliberately did not use necromancy on the carriage I returned from last time and matched the words.

“It’s difficult.”

He let out a deep sigh as he looked at the woman who gradually began to materialize how deeply he felt his resentment.

* * *

thump thump.

thump thump.

I don’t know how many days.

“Huh, Mom. hehehe.”

Meirin had been walking down the long dark corridor for several days, but she hadn’t reached the end.

I don’t know.

I have no idea why this happened.

My legs hurt as if they would break, and the soles of my feet ached like an awl stabbing them.

Why can’t I stop walking?

[Where.]

It was because of the man whose face was split in half, who kept chasing him from behind.

It’s not that I don’t have this kind of experience at all.

It was Meirin who had met the skeleton warrior on the first floor of the central stairway.

I’m sure I woke up after sleeping in the dormitory, but I don’t know why I’m stuck in a hallway like this, and I don’t know why I’m still being chased by a monster like that.

“Huh! Whoops!”

Tears keep flowing and now my eyes are sore. Still the tears don’t stop.

[Come on.]

“go away! go away! please! Please leave me alone!”

You shouldn’t run.

The moment you already run with experience, that monster also runs madly toward you.

Rather, I needed to conserve my stamina while walking.

“Ahhhhh!”

The endless hallway stretched out as if mockingly telling the girl to stop giving up.

If it wasn’t for her stubbornness like Meirin, she would have given up already.

[Come on.]

“please! Jebaaal! Someone help me!”

No matter how much I shout, no answer or help comes.

The girl had no choice but to continue walking down the almost infinite hallway, leading her body as if it was about to collapse at any moment.

* * *

Strange rumors were circulating on the third floor of the female dormitory.

It was a strange rumor that a woman would leave the dormitory at dawn.

Kik-kike-kike.

Kik-kike-kike.

Kik-kike-kike.

A bed mattress that rocks up and down. The spring sound of the high-quality mattress prepared by the academy for the students’ comfortable sleep resonates with a strangely violent sound.

The female student who was lying on it and pretending to be asleep was deliberately breathing regularly.

every night.

Someone comes to the girls’ dormitory and climbs onto the bed and jumps.

It was a different bed every day, but today, it became her own bed.

Even if you tell the academy, you will only get an answer asking you to wait a little longer.

If Robern Academy was the best educational facility in the kingdom, if the entrance difficulty wasn’t high enough, the students would have already fled en masse.

Of course, there were already students running away one after another.

The female student bitterly cursed inwardly about why she hadn’t run away, but when she remembered that the fate of her crumbling family rested on her shoulders, she had no choice but to hold on.

Kik-kike-kike.

Kik-kike-kike.

What on earth is jumping on your bed?

How could he not feel any touch on his body while running so furiously?

I was curious about this and that, but the fear was greater, so the female student closed her eyes tightly.

at that time.

[ruler?]

If I had to put it that way, it was a voice like an undercast porcelain. The pronunciation is indistinct and the voice is heavy and resonant as if it was not properly made somewhere in charge of vocalization.

Breathing almost stopped for a moment, but the girl continued to close her eyes and pretend to sleep.

Kik-kike-kike.

Kik-kike-kike.

How many times did the mattress rock up and down like that?

[You’re sleeping.]

at some point.

The wobbly mattress stopped.

On top of the bed, as if there was nothing there, it was still and there was not even a slight movement.

Did I go now?

Think about it in your head several times.

Did it feel like an hour had passed? The girl carefully opened her eyes.

A woman with a hole in her neck without a single hair sticking to the ceiling was staring down at the female student.

[He’s not sleeping.]

sigh.

The corners of the woman’s mouth are bizarrely torn.

[Oh! Mmm! Aye!]

Gideon Geronia had not been able to sleep properly for several days due to the loud crying.

If the dean had not strictly enforced the lockdown, he would have wanted to inform the guards immediately, or at worst, to the royal family.

Does announcing that change anything?

Two of the professors have already gone missing.

All of them were professors who went outside in response to that baby’s cry this early in the morning.

Will things really get better if we leave things as they are?

Gideon couldn’t help but wonder.

‘Something will get better if you bring Deius? really?’

He was also very skeptical of the Dean and Keren’s move to Northweden to reinstate Dayus.

A guest professor who doesn’t know if he can play his role properly can solve the problems that countless full professors here have not been able to solve?

‘It can’t be.’

In addition, the necromancer he summoned was quite skilled.

I didn’t explain it properly, but it was a necromancer named ‘Dark Spirit’ with a notorious reputation in the kingdom.

‘This academy is hopeless now.’

It is a place where evil spirits that can easily kill the Dark Spirit are gathered.

This land belonged to the old Geronia family, so Gideon knew about it.

If all the records he saw in his family and handed over to Erica were all true.

“The curse of demons never stops.”

Confident, Gideon sighed at the still-rearing cries of the baby, poured sleeping pills into his mouth, put on earplugs, and lay down on the bed.

Even so, I couldn’t sleep for quite a long time because of the baby’s cry that penetrated.
