Chapter 180 – 8. Perisha, the Proud Lady of a Suspicious Baron

Tied up the gown I had forgotten about, approached the door and squeezed the doorknob, the cold touch in my palm sharpened my senses. Concentrating on my five senses as much as I didn’t know who the other person was, I opened the door and ran out into the hallway.

Jerebuck-

I slowed my steps so that the assailant wouldn’t notice and headed towards the stairs as quietly as possible. After strengthening his hearing with mana, he approached with the widest possible stride, but as he heard in the room, the stranger’s steps were still as slow as a turtle.

“Lord Cassano… “

Took- As I was assuming various situations to respond to the assailant, a small voice knocked on me from behind. With a worried expression on her gown, Perisha clutched at my collar. She seemed quite frightened, as if she had read my expression and the seriousness of the situation.

“Go in, lady.”

She could have been related to a baron family rather than a gangster, so she was given the honorific title of lady. Still, Perisha shook her head and tugged harder at her collar. Is being apart more insecure? Resigned, I stroked her golden hair and hid Perisha behind my back.

“Lol-“

Perisha burying her face in my back with a cute smile. Seeing that figure eased my mind a little, and I unknowingly lost my concentration on my hearing.

It was then. Ta-tada-dak- Unlike the sound of footsteps I had heard so far, the sound of footsteps swaying along the stairs and hallways echoed through the hallway like an animal running. Kwak! Surprised by the sound of foot stomping, Perisha clung to me even more strongly, but I was also surprised to see an unexpected person.

“… !!!”

Anger-! Something jumped out of the dim hallway without a light. A face that looked like a ghoul, hair that smelled like stale water, dry saliva around the mouth and trembling teeth, and even the familiar brown hair that I had seen many times in this mansion.

Tup- Tup- Grabbing both of my arms, Bindel rolled his eyes that seemed to fall out at any moment, searching for the voice of Perisha he had heard. Without hesitation, I lifted my right leg over Bindel’s belly at the soil marks on my forearm, and exhaled, I pushed my leg forward.

Whoo-!

There was no sense of impact, as if even a straw doll had been kicked, but Puk-Bindel, who had flown far away, slammed his waist on the railing and groaned and stretched out with an ear-piercing scream. Black with a scream – Surprised Perisha clung to me.

“It’s okay. Miss.”

“Who, who are you? Hehe… “

Is it Perisha who seemed like a confident heroine when they first met her? I stroked the back of Perisha, who was very surprised unexpectedly, calmed her down, and answered honestly without hiding anything.

“It looks like Bindel came to visit the lady.”

“Bindel, to hear you came. Is that Bindel?”

Bindel, who was referred to as that-, stood up from the floor shaking his weak arms and was approaching us with strides. While laughing inwardly at the appearance of a ghoul, a pitiful voice leaked from Bindel’s open mouth.

“Ah, sir… “

Turbuck-

“Miss… !”

Tuck- Tuck-

“Miss!”

Trudge trudge

Seeing the sunken eyes that could see even madness, I hid Perishia behind her back, taking a step forward before I knew it, and filmed her swaying head with my elbow. Puk-Bindel only stumbled at the feeling that made his bones tremble, but held on to the wall and endured.

“Would it be harder for you if you endured?”

Bindel is no longer the butler of Baron Whistle. He is a proud criminal of the empire who abandoned his duty as a butler, coveted and robbed his lord’s goods and property, and ran away by fucking the nobles. I openly laughed at him for not knowing his situation, then hit him with an elbow, grabbed his bent head, and slapped his sweaty cheek.

“Kuheugh!”

Jjaak-jjaak-jjaak- I erased my smile and swung my hand like a machine with an expressionless face and slapped Bindel in the face.

Every time the slap on the cheek filled the hallway, his sunken face became more and more swollen red, but I swung without stopping and saw Bindel putting his hand in my arms with a trembling hand. Threw

Fluffy-

“Geuk, haaaaagh!!!”

Bang-bang-bang- Bindel, thrown to the floor, looked up at me while roaring with anger. His arms and legs twitched, and his swollen cheeks, which had been beaten several times, were pitiful, but only one eye harbored unquenchable hatred.

“… Seed… Daa… “

“Baby… Buy… Bout… “

Mumble mutter – Bindel started muttering something without removing her hand from her bosom. Seeing that, I took a step back and told Perisha, who was covering her mouth, to keep her distance, then slowly approached Bindel.

“My dear, I love you… “

Whispers – I overheard all the small love confessions that I could not hear even if I tilted my head toward Bindel’s head. I clicked my tongue and grabbed Bindel’s sweaty and muddy head and whispered into his ear.

“The lady you love is fucking delicious, one of her cunts is like an emperor.”

Grasping the vulgar words he chose while rolling his tongue—his hateful eyes began to stain with blood. I put a distance in her red eyes that seemed to have forged all sorts of hatred from bursting blood vessels, and I told her in a voice full of ridicule as she stepped back toward Perisha.

“She said she came to ask the young lady to save her life just once. I have no shame.”

“… Is that true? If that is true, I cannot condone it.”

When he changed his desperate confession of love to a begging from a poor guest, Perisha warned him in a calm voice. Did that cold voice sound like a signal to Bindel? He barely muttered as he rolled his fleshy eyes and spoke to Perisha in a clear voice.

“I love you. Girl, I love you, I love you… ! Run away with me… ! I just wanted to tell you… !”

Surely that would be sincere. Growing up with the violence of the baron, he suppressed it several times and decided that it was not his feelings, and it must have been a sincerity that even he himself could not admit.

But even if you bring it out now, will it really be conveyed with the right intentions? Bindel seemed to have overlooked that.

“Such, nonsense- a lie to get out of the situation-!”

One glance into my eyes and sure of her feelings, Perisha lashed out at Bindel with an angry face she had never seen before. In a few short words, I can feel the young anger next to me, but what about the person who heard it directly? Rattling- I laughed at Bindel’s weakly collapsing head, then pointed my finger and stroked Perisha’s back as she tried to say something more, then strode toward Bindel.

Ppaak-

Bindel’s head, kicked by his weight-bearing kick, tumbled back. Hanging Bindel, who was limp and limp as if his neck had been broken, on the railing, I pondered, no, tried to think about what to do with him, biting his tongue.

Knock-!

“My lady, are you all right!”

Clap – clap – clap – Along with the footsteps of the knights, a loud roar shook the mansion. A knight with a helmet cover up looked at Bindel hanging on the railing with ferocious eyes, and at the knight’s roaring voice, he noticed Perisha sticking her head out over the railing, sighed in relief and climbed the stairs at once.

“You’re all right, I’m so glad you did. I heard about the sighting from Young Ji-min, so I hurried after him, but I’m really sorry for being late.”

“No, I won’t take any censure because Cassano-sama protected me.”

“Sorry!”

Clack clap clap- The knights who followed stood in the hallway and apologized to Perisha as they knelt down. Just about to question the strangely loyal knights, the soldiers who climbed the stairs tied up Bindel and began to descend the stairs holding hands and feet as if carrying luggage.

“Wait a minute.”

“Yes!”

The soldiers stopped by Perisha’s restraint, and Bindel, who was limp but alive at least in her eyes, was looking up at Perisha with expectant eyes. Perisha, looking down from the top of her steps, bid her farewell to Took-Bindel in a cold voice.

“I’ll tell my father and suggest that he save his life with the affection he had. But all I promise is my life.”

“… I hope you survive the ugly way you’ve been living. You can take me now.”

“Yes!”

I followed the sight of the soldiers quickly descending the stairs at Perisha’s command, and Bindel disappearing while shaking like a piece of meat. .

“My lady, I am really sorry to have to tell you this, and I resent myself for being disloyal.”

“No. Mister. Get up and talk to me comfortably.”

Perisha, who raised the kneeling knight with her warm eyes, perhaps a knight she had seen for a long time, patted her cold armor with her palm to cheer him up. The knight, who must have been so moved, bit her lips and calmed down, glanced at me and looked at Perisha.

Perisha gave her permission with a nod, and her knight, in her subdued voice, began to report to her all that had happened in her culvert. There was nothing surprising about everything that had happened until then, because I knew everything, but after I followed Bindel, everything that happened was just amazing.
