15. Third mate. As always, the moment of choice comes.

Sicilian Saten.

Looking around the banquet hall, she thinks in her heart.

It’s boring.

People react like chimpanzee puppets clapping at voices.

That they and I are the same person.

Saten didn’t like that fact.

‘How a worm lives as a worm. Why do those bugs behave like bugs even though they are human?’

They adorn themselves with useless shiny ornaments.

Even so, the rotten heart does not change.

No matter how they dress up, their essence is the same stupid bug.

“It’s annoying to have to shine for such garbage, Commander-in-Chief.”

“..our precious money chain. Saten. Don’t use harsh words, it’s a public place.”

hard-

Saten’s father, Lennon, looked at Saten and gave him a hateful look.

A gaze that suppressed his anger as much as possible, not seeing him as a father.

Saten was treated poorly within the family, but only his talent was recognized and he was able to live as a human being.

‘Anger is better than indifference.’

Saten’s situation wasn’t too bad, as he had once wandered around like a ghost in the family due to indifference.

No matter how much they hate him, Saten feels nothing.

Saten had no complaints as long as he took care of three meals a day.

Lennon said to Saten with a hateful look.

“Saten. I will introduce you soon. Watch your mouth and show your talent in front of them. That you have a talent that can break the tradition.”

“Okay.”

Saten nodded with an expressionless expression.

It was very easy to show talent, and I was curious about how people would react to it.

However, more than curiosity to show talent.

A more curious situation appeared in her eyes.

‘What is that worm doing? He wore a mask and used invisibility magic.’

No, that man is not a bug.

That man would be the correct term for ‘human’.

Instead of acting while watching others notice, you are showing your own behavior among many people.

Saten saw the man approaching her in the dark with the lights off.

Although she was using invisibility magic, Saten, who was well versed in magic, was able to notice it.

‘The masked man. what is that person Look at me coming towards me with that figure. Perhaps, they are trying to kidnap her.’

hmmm.

A man who is rarely curious.

Saten fixed her gaze on the man approaching him among the crowd.

Then, looking at him wearing a mask, he remembered the situation.

‘If I disappear from this place. How will the family react?’

Would you be angry or sad or would you be happy?

That’s a little curious.

The present is different from the treatment of the past.

How would people in my family come out without me?

curiosity.

Saten was curious and fixed her gaze on the approaching man.

He looked surprised that he was looking at him, but then quietly approached Saten.

And in the end, the masked man Lee Jun-woo stopped in front of him.

Saten gave him an alluring smile and whispered.

“you. Kidnap me.”

With expressionless jet-black eyes, Saten told Lee Jun-woo.

It was a choice that only the insane, crazy woman could make.

***

What the hell is this girl thinking?

you want me to kidnap you

I’m not crazy.

I left the banquet hall wearing a mask.

In her arms, she held Saten, the wizard of the Hero Party, like a princess.

From the inside, it seems that he has only just grasped the situation, or that he seems to be moving in a hurry.

“… I must go quickly.”

“sure. Please go quickly. kidnapper Mr. You might be caught like this?”

fresh.

Saten smiled.

‘You put this face on the kidnapper. Can’t you feel the fear… ‘

A smile that does not feel the threat of death at all.

There was a smile on his face, but there was an empty smile inside.

than that…

“Why did you ask me to kidnap you?”

“Nothing. I was just curious about their reaction. It’s not worth more than that.”

“You are arrogant.”

“People say that a proud person is arrogant. Thanks for the compliments. Mr kidnapper. More than that, I can feel the presence at the entrance. Can I go out?”

“… ”

It seemed that a gatekeeper had been set up at the entrance in preparation for an unexpected situation.

They were alert and focused, as if they sensed something happening inside.

The skills seemed to be the guys at the end of the official article.

“It would be difficult even for the kidnapper if there was a tracking team. What are you going to do?”

“Just hide your face like you did when I approached you.”

“Ah, is that Silence Magic? I was able to figure it out. The form is free, and the magic circle is simply described. It was quite impressive. Is the kidnapper a wizard?”

“… You can see that.”

I learned magic from her, and I studied a lot on my own.

Even if he wasn’t a top-notch wizard, he would be a skilled wizard.

So I turned on the Silence Magic and approached the main gate guarded by the knights.

‘… These knights don’t seem to have any magical knowledge.’

A magic that makes the body transparent.

A knight who has reached a certain level can sensibly judge that there is magic, but these guys were not standing guard.

It was very convenient to be able to get out of the banquet hall safely.

‘Can kidnapping be this easy?’

Even inside, there was no person with magical knowledge, and the only person who saw through my magic was Saten in my arms…

‘… for a moment.’

Apparently, there was that guy in the banquet hall… ?

That guy has reached a level where he can pierce my magic.

As if my predictions were correct.

The passage between the knights and the way back home.

A silver-white knight stood there.

It was Irina, an old colleague.

shit.

“There, the masked guy. stop.”

“… ”

“You kidnapped in front of everyone. The liver is also large. Even though I, Irina, the commander of Sylvester’s knights, is watching.”

From afar, Irina stared at me with sharp eyes.

It was the sharp eyes of a knight who had gone through all the antenatal care.

“If you have a mouth. How about speaking out?”

“… ”

“Answer in silence. I’ll come out like that. I see. Then, I’ll take that girl. You must pay for the crime of kidnapping a noble girl with your life.”

No, I mean, they found out it was me.

Irina can detect my voice at once.

So, I couldn’t say anything.

Saten whispered to me like that.

“tell. kidnapper Mr. Then the knight will kill you?”

“… I can not say.”

“Hmm, then how about this? You took me hostage, so threaten that knight, that you will kill me.”

“… ”

Isn’t that too cooperative?

this woman

As a kidnapper, he was consulting on kidnapping.

She started acting on her own, wondering if it was frustrating for me to be hesitating for a while.

pooh.

“Hey, heck… !! this, this man They’re trying to kill me… !!”

“for a moment! I, the kidnapper… ! stop acting! You stabbed Youngae with a dagger…! This, this, the cowardly child… !!”

Could it be that Irina was far away and couldn’t see it?

Saten pulled a dagger from my waist and stabbed himself in the shoulder.

The blood was dripping from her, and she was grinning as if she felt no pain.

It was a self-made play.

She was taking advantage of me by creating an easy-to-abuse situation.

“What are you doing? I gave you this opportunity… You should use it… ?”

“… damn it.”

Reluctantly, I aimed the dagger at Irina.

Then, expressing ‘I’ll stab you when I come!’ as much as possible, I took a step backwards.

Seeing this, Irina raised her hands above her head and nodded.

“Ah, I got it. I won’t come close Instead, save Young-ae’s life. Although she belongs to my rival, the Knights Templar, she is also a true citizen of the Empire. I want you to save your life.”

Honest knight Irina.

She was looking at me with a nervous expression.

‘You did a good job wearing the mask.’

as it is.

With the dagger at Saten’s neck, I took a step back and walked away from Irina.

“…I miss you this time, but if you run into me again in the Empire, I will definitely arrest you. Man of the Mask.”

“…”

I hope we never meet again.

Irina, who could not figure out who I was, became smaller and smaller, bent the corner, and even disappeared.

When I quickly ran away from there, Irina’s presence was no longer felt.

I shouted at Saten.

“Are you crazy? Doing that with a sane mind… ”

“Other people look at me and say I’m crazy, but I think I’m sane.”

“… Shall I just bring it back?”

It might have a bad effect on Luna and Hare.

Perhaps Saten was offended by my words, for a moment frowned and reached out towards my face.

There was no shock, but the mask that was covering my face was gone.

Saten said to me while holding the mask in her hand.

“The kidnapper looks like this. Unexpectedly clean and handsome.”

“… If you go, give it to me.”

“Come on, here.”

Saten meekly returned the mask.

If that’s the case, then why did you take it? ?

After that, he tightened my neck, telling me his intentions to steal the mask.

Saten had a cold expressionless expression.

“I remembered.”

“… what.”

“It’s your face. I can draw with pictures, and I can show people my memories. So… ”

If you don’t want to be wanted in front of all the people.

kill me or

You’ll have to kidnap me.

Saten seems to have no fear of death.

She pressured me to be the kidnapper with an easy choice.

“The world is turning upside down… ”

It was really stupid and crazy.
