Chapter 255 – 9. Hormia’s Dictator, Countess’s Insidious Task

Arriving in Hormia with the scroll that Laura gave me, I made my way to the mansion while crossing the crowd. I was annoyed by the crowded crowd whenever I bumped into the tuk, tuk, or bag, but I eventually broke through and headed for the towering mansion in the distance.

“Welcome.”

Fu-wook, the elderly butler with his head down stretched out his arm and guided me into the mansion. But with his head down, the corners of his eyes were trembling slightly, and the corners of the eyes of several attendants who were not wearing face coverings were also trembling with tension as they passed through the hallways.

After unpacking my luggage in the room I was assigned to, I took out the potion and headed to the Countess’s room. Only then did I find out why the servants were nervous.

Again and again

The Countess, who had approached holding her fan with the sharp sound of shoes stabbing her ears with an awl, let out a seething sigh through her cotton cloth and stared at me. After a few seconds of looking at each other with the illusion that even the invisible eyes could be seen through the veil, the Countess took a step back and asked me.

“I couldn’t reach you.”

“Someone called the Archwitch burned it down.”

Percussion!

Slamming the fan she held in her hand on her palm, the annoyed Countess gnashed her teeth and shouted,

“Who doesn’t know that? That, why, quietly, just watching, is there.”

Tok, tok, tok, tok

Laughing at the end of the fan that pierced my chest, I looked at the tip of the cotton cloth fluttering in my rough breath. The moment her slender white chin peeped out, the Countess took a step back and began to slowly catch her breath.

“Can I touch them or defy them? Please think of it as something unavoidable.”

Foreclosure.

A black mesh glove rested on my cheek. Kwuk, the Countess, gently clasping her hand on her cheek, said quietly, stroking my cheek with her fingertips.

“Are you calling that an excuse?”

“It is also true.”

Since I don’t back down easily, the countess also stared at me without backing down. After a few minutes of confrontation with the illusion that the cotton cloth would be pierced, the Countess let out a sticky sigh and said, removing her hand.

“Sorry. It seems that he has become sensitive because he is concerned about other things. I was so excited without even realizing it.”

“It’s okay. Aren’t all people capable of that?”

Let’s talk with a smirk! The Countess, knocking on her fan, spoke in a slightly raised voice.

“Okay, then shall we take a look at what you brought?”

With a clatter and the sound of a bottle, I picked up the tightly closed box, put it on the desk, and opened the lock. Four across, two across, eight pregnancy potions, the countess let out her sticky sigh, ha-ah! Fanned her fan

Rustling, rustling- The black frill-topped fan rustled and created a cool breeze. I breathed in the scent of the countess that flowed on the wind of the fan that was fluttering, without filtering it.

“Great. I’ll tell the servant today to proceed with the treatment of Baron Whistle. You have completed all three tasks perfectly.”

Drooling! The Countess, who folded the fan while tapping it on her palm, shook her wielding hand and issued a congratulatory order.

“Ah, Cassano-kun, come separately later to receive your reward. I have a personal gift for you.”

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

“I cannot refuse. I will send a maid later.”

“… We’ll see if it’s too late then.”

Took, I slipped out of the room as if pushed by the Countess’s pressure. Kuuk, I stared at the Countess’s hand as she grabbed the doorknob, then raised my head. The moment you see her face along with the fluttering cotton cloth – Kung! The door is closed.

Another angle, another angle, another angle, another angle

The sound of shoes moving away from the door, and something touching my cheek that seemed to be burning, I gnashed my teeth and cursed at the Countess.

“Sometimes people say it’s good that they turned their eyes upside down, but why are you saying so much today?”

It’s only been three days, but I’ll see if it’s late- I snorted at the stern warning and went straight to Perishia’s room, and thanks to that, I didn’t hear the hysterical screams coming from the Countess’s room.

**

“Aaaaa!!!”

With a loud scream, the countess grabbed the ornaments she may have thrown and threw them at the wall.

Crispy!

Even at the scene where the weakly fragmented ornaments, the hollowed-out walls, and the scene where the anger was evident, the countess still sang, bang, bang! She rolled her feet on the carpet and looked at the crumpled letter.

[If you intervene to such an extent that it adversely affects the life of the empire, and even the lives of humans, the witches of this Witch Council may detain you, Flower Witch Stelgia, or confine you to Witchcraft. Please make a wise choice, and if you continue to make the wrong choice, cooperate with the Empire to share information about you and be careful as you may stand by and watch you be bound by the Empire]

The Countess, who was upset by the indifferent tone and the seal stamped indifferently, was shocked! Whoops! Shouted, tearing up her letter.

“Laura! You bitch!”

Tup, the Countess clangs as she grabs the wine from the basket! I threw it at the wall and looked at the wallpaper. The wine-colored wallpaper, the sharp fragments embedded in the wall, and the traces of a mangled corpse made the crystal ball on the desk begin to glow as my lips were being crushed over the cotton cloth.

Took, the Countess’ finger touched the crystal ball, and the light that wrapped around the crystal ball was projected onto the wall, and a cold beauty was drawn on the wall.

“This bitch… “

Despite hearing the naked swear words, Laura snorted in excitement, raised her hand on her desk and gazed at the Countess through the crystal ball. When I saw her shaking fists and the messy room, it must have been that she couldn’t beat her temper and was making a fuss. After handing it over, Laura immediately brought up her business.

[Did the guest arrive well?]

“Guest, oh, you mean Cassano?”

The Countess, unable to understand Laura for a moment because she did not know how to hear him, grabbed her arm and nodded her head obediently.

“Guardian-nim seems to have a lot of interest in mere humans.”

Countess Stelgia, who did not like all of Laura’s actions, said with a wry smile. Laura let out a sigh at the terrible speech, smiled proudly and replied to Stelgia.

[I guess you don’t know that I’m just a human, you’re the benefactor of our village]

Stunned by her blatant ridicule, Stelgia raised her finger and pointed, surprised by Laura’s smile rather than by Laura’s shameless reply.

“How are you laughing?”

Clearly remembering that Laura, nicknamed the Witch of the Cold, had lost her expression, Stellzia asked in surprise at Laura’s change, but she was dissatisfied with her behavior and behavior. Laura smiled at her and cheered her up proudly.

[Well, I’ll let you know next time I get a chance]

“… If you contacted me to make fun of me, let me tell you I came to the wrong place. Because of someone, I feel like something.”

Laura, who shrugged her shoulders at Angalzin Stelgia’s reaction, tapped her desk with her finger and said,

[Then there is no business. It’s literally to make sure the guest has returned safely]

“Does someone like you really need to be?”

Stelgia, recalling information about Cassano, glared at Laura through her crystal ball, questioning her. A newbie who moved from a rural village to the city and was left behind by mercenaries, receives the favor of Laura, who is in charge of Witch Craft.

“Did you sleep with him?”

That was the only option left for her, and she asked the question, thinking of Cassano, who was exceptionally feminine, but Laura smiled quietly, completely confirming one of her thoughts after seeing Stelgia’s naive question.

[Well, there seems to be something you don’t know. I have nothing more to say, so let’s stop. I want you to read the warning letter again and again.]

Ugh, the crystal ball surrounded by the halo of light lost its light, and Laura drawn on the wall soon disappeared. Stelgia gritted at Laura’s unscrupulous behavior, who disappeared after only saying her own words, percussion, percussion while gnashing her teeth! He sighed as he slammed the fan he was holding onto his palm.

“Laura, who was arrogant and didn’t think of humans, wrapped herself in a blanket saying that she was a benefactor? Am I missing something?”

She was Stellzia, who could have known Cassano’s true identity if she had a friendly relationship with the witches in the village, but she left the village and was living a life that did not fit the direction of her witch council. In the end, Stelgia, unable to find her answer, slumped down in her chair and let out a hot sigh as she looked at the chessboard next to her crystal ball.

“If I can restore the expression of a wooden woman, then I will do my best as a man.”

Clearing her mind of the pitiful males who barked, beaten, and rammed like her dogs, Stelzia smiled quietly as she recalled her thought of a cozy day with the prince that she thought would be perfect for a pastime.

“Ah, but it’s too bad that you let me hold my body gently… “

After stroking her voluptuous breasts, Stelgia decided that her reward was too heavy compared to what Cassano had done for her, so she bit her lip and fell into trouble again. She wants to play with it to pass the time, but she doesn’t want to be held gently. What can I do?” Stelgia muttered as she overturned her knight on her chessboard.

“Shall we take the lady hostage?”

Recalling the passion she had for her little girl since he came to her mansion, Stelzia began sorting out the plans that came to her mind one by one, hoping that this test would show him all of his tenacity and ferocity. Did.

“First, I’ll send the articles I’m close with separately…”

Took, slender fingers overturned the chess piece.

“Let’s set up unrelated people so he can be sincere and see how brutal he can be. If you’re satisfied, maybe it would be okay to leave the pastime and introduce you to the prince as a useful errand boy?”

Stellzia, who stretched out her own imagination endlessly, smiled quietly as she rummaged through the chessboard, unable to imagine the aftermath of her plan.
