Chapter 34 – A Bead That Reflects the Past

The second day dawned after coming to Kiella’s house.

Although I discovered her secret last night, I didn’t take action right away.
There is a need to examine the situation to see if it is appropriate to use it as a weakness.

Regardless of my thoughts, the lord’s house was peaceful today as well.
I was sitting quietly in the corner of the living room, while Kiella and Ruina were happily chatting on the other side.

It was definitely the same scene as yesterday, but thanks to Kiella finding out that Ruina had feelings for her, things that were not visible yesterday came into view.

Like the affectionate look in her eyes when she looks at her Ruina, or the way her face sometimes blushes when she looks at her Ruina’s body.

Smart.

“Oh my. Ruina, wait a minute.”

Kiella went outside when she suddenly heard a knock on the door.
When I sneakily approached and looked, it seemed like the servants had come to visit.

She came back after a short conversation, had an unpleasant expression on her face, but spoke as if nothing had happened in her voice.

“I’m sorry, Ruina. Something came up and I think I have to go out for a while. They say I have to come.”

“It’s okay. I can’t help it because I’m the lord, Mo. Don’t worry about me and go home.”

“If anything happens, you must ask Dake for help. Okay?”

“Really Kiella too. I’m not a kid… Okay, so go ahead. They’ll wait for you.”

As if she wasn’t relieved to hear that she knew, Kiella called me.

“Dake? Wait a minute.”

When she motioned for me to follow her, I came into my room with her.
Sure enough, as soon as she came to a place where Ruina was not present, her attitude completely changed.

“Remember what I said yesterday? If something happens to Ruina or you do something bad, she won’t let you go.”

“All right.”

“By the way, I forgot to tell you, but Ruina is a child who needs a lot of attention because she has a lot of pain. She is physically weak and has hearing loss, so she can’t hear anything unless it’s nearby. So, never take your eyes off her. Understood?”

“I’ll keep that in mind.”

Kiella leaves her house and only me and Louis are left inside.

Louis I was sitting in a rocking chair in the living room, and judging from how she did it yesterday, she seemed to like that chair quite a bit.

‘What do you do to spend your time when Kiella isn’t around?’

At that time, Ruina fumbled around on her desk and picked up something of her own.

‘Knitting tools? ‘Can you do this even though you can’t see?’

As if to contradict my thoughts, her hands began knitting.
Her speed was slow as she did it without looking, but being meticulous and meticulous was not something she had done once or twice.

“I guess you’re familiar with knitting.”

“Yes. I’ve been practicing hard all this time.”

“How much did you do?”

“It’s been about 5 years since I met Kiella.”

She said she doesn’t want strangers in the house because she’s shy, but she’s on friendly terms with me.

‘Are you really being shy?’

But for now, investigating her relationship with Kiella was more important than her idle curiosity.

“How did you meet Kiella?”

“I met Kiella by chance when the war between the Demon King and the Elves ended.”

She answered without much hesitation and calmly added her words.

“At that time, I had lost all of her family in the war and was unable to see due to her injuries. Kiella felt sorry for me because I had nowhere to go, so she suggested I live with her.”

So, did Kiella fall in love with Ruina at first sight?
She first listened to the words that followed.

“At first, I declined because I felt sorry. But he told me not to worry about money. He said he had been appointed as the lord of a village. So from then on, I became indebted to Kiella.”

“As expected, my lord, you have a really big heart.”

“That’s right. She’s never been angry with me, and she’s never asked for anything in return for what she’s done. I’m just grateful. If it weren’t for her, she wouldn’t be alive like this.”

She can’t believe that that crazy dog ​​has never been angry.
This probably means that her Ruina is a precious person to her.

“I see. You two looked so close that I thought they were lovers.”

Ruina smiled slightly at the words she had just mentioned.

“Hehe, can’t that be true? We are not humans. Unlike humans, an elf does not fall in love with her own kind. She thinks of herself as a sister who shares in the Goddess’ mercy.”

It seems that my prediction that Kiella is alone in her unrequited love was correct.
Not only did Ruina not notice her feelings, but she didn’t seem to believe in love between elves at all.

“Besides, don’t you think Kiella feels like I’m more like her sister than she is a lover?”

“It seems like that. I heard you’re very worried about Ruina.”

“It’s true. I’m grateful, but you’re treating me like a child too much? Even if I can’t see, I can now move around the house by myself.”

When she had the chance to vent her pent-up frustration, she spoke in a calm tone without pause.

“Do you know how much overprotection is? One time, I hit my hand on the desk and got a slight bruise. But when he saw it, he cried and was so worried. It wasn’t even bleeding…”

“It seems like you care a lot about Ruina.”

“I am grateful, but I am worried that Kiella will be having a hard time.”

The fact that the bitch who had no qualms about making me bleed, and that her favorite elf is crying so hard that it only leaves bruises makes me laugh out loud.

But it was a pleasant story for me.
If Kiella cares about Ruina that much, she will be able to use the elf in front of her for her revenge.

After exchanging a few more words, our conversation ended.

As I silently watched Ruina knitting, Kiella returned from her lordship’s work, and it was my second night in this village and the beginning of my second revenge.

‘… Okay, let’s go.’

After checking my pre-made plans and supplies, I stood up from the bed in my room.

There was no fear that I might fail.
As I said yesterday, I have prepared a means to withstand Kiella’s attacks through the app, and I have also prepared a way to exploit her weaknesses.

Nevertheless, the reason my heart was pounding was because of the expectation that I would now be able to erase the painful memories that had tormented me even in my dreams.

“…”

I quietly left the room and headed towards where Kiella was.
I closed the door properly today, but if I put my ear close to it, I could hear the same moaning sound as yesterday.

‘Are you sure you masturbate every day? ‘I’m very horny, but I only pretend to be clean in front of others.’

-Ah, huh… Ruina…

The owner of the house is so absorbed in comforting himself that he doesn’t even know I’m there.

I boldly knocked on the door.

Smart.

-What! Who, who… Are you Ruina?

A rustling sound could be heard from inside for a moment before the door opened and Kiella appeared, hastily adjusting her clothes.

“Louis, you bastard…”

As soon as it spots me, it glares at me with an expression like a ferocious beast.
His fist was pounding, wanting to hit my face right away.

“How long have you been here?”

“I just arrived.”

“…Did you hear?”

“What?”

When I ask, he sighs as if relieved.
But her relief didn’t last long.

“Ah, is this the sound of Kiella masturbating while calling out to Ruina?”

“You bastard heard it all! …Come inside.”

Kiella, trying hard to control her anger, let me into the room.
I guess he was trying to talk properly inside in case Ruina might hear him.

As expected, when the door closed, a voice that sounded like a lion growling was heard.

“Take what you heard to your grave. Never tell anyone. If you do, I will kill you on the spot.”

“It seems like you like Ruina a lot.”

“What? Don’t talk nonsense and just answer.”

“Why don’t you confess your feelings?”

Kiella’s eyes looking at me became even harsher.

“Answer me without talking nonsense.”

Is it because of how obedient I was yesterday?
Surprisingly, she was patient and trying to talk.

But the other person didn’t know that there was no reason for me to cater to her anymore.

“Oh, it’s not that I don’t confess, it’s that I can’t? I’m afraid that if she reveals my true self, I’ll be despised.”

“What nonsense…”

“The scene where the warrior was raped in the royal castle.”

“…”

The air suddenly becomes colder.
I could feel the coldness in the voice that followed.

“I don’t know where that came from, but unless you want to look into it, you don’t believe just any rumor. More than that, who did you hear that from?”

Normally, Kiella’s fist should fly first, but it’s surprising that she’s still holding back.

But it was a worthy enough situation.
A secret that only she and Alvin knew came out of the mouth of another human being, me.

From her perspective, it was a record that had to be kept secret, so she needed to find the source of the rumor.

“I’m asking you now. Who heard it from?”

“Why?”

“Why? They’re trying to catch the rat who’s spreading nonsense.”

“Aren’t you afraid that the real past will be spread?”

“I told you clearly that it was a rumor. If you talk back one more time, I won’t be able to take it anymore. Just answer the questions quickly.”

Since I can only say things and not prove them, I plan to keep trying.
But unfortunately, I had hard evidence.

“Well.”

When I opened my right palm, light appeared on it, and a fist-sized gray bead that had never existed before appeared.

“…Memory modification?”

As Kiella said, this is a magic tool called a memory crystal that contains a special magic that displays the owner’s memories as images.

Only high-ranking wizards in the royal castle could produce it, and since there were only a few made before the wizards disappeared to focus on research, it was an item that could not be obtained no matter how much the price was.

“No matter how powerful a knight may be, he won’t be able to save it, so how…”

Of course I bought it from the app store.
With the points I earned through hard work with Agnes.

Although it has the disadvantage of only being able to play back one memory, unlike the original memory crystal that allows you to select which memory to play each time, mine has many other unique features.

One of them is a function that normally disappears, like now, but appears when the owner wants it.

“Can you still say this is a rumor?”

When I held the crystal in my hand, an intense light emitted, and soon an image appeared in the air like a hologram.

[Hey, stop quickly. Is this what a hero can do?]

[Please stop, Chief Justice! I can’t do this anymore!]

[Noisy. If you cum without stopping, I wonder if blood will come out instead of semen, so try cumming quickly!]

Me from my past life crying on screen and Kiella torturing me that day.

She was at a loss for words as she watched the scene, and she spoke with a meaningful expression on her face.

“If Ruina finds out about this, will she say it’s a rumor?”
