Chapter 89 – Crossing Paths

Episode 90 – Crossing paths

“Lucina… Lucina.”

“Mother…”

Ainz and the Scadia father and daughter were in despair.

Although her body was weak due to a long-term illness, nothing serious had happened in the 10 years since she was born.

In just a few months, her physical condition deteriorated rapidly.

Even though he was in a state of worry, Ainz managed to get his mind her together and proceeded with her funeral her, and on the day of her death her, numerous guests came to her Maryland her mansion her.

Among them, of course, was the Friuli family.

Lu An comforted her with her worry.

“Scadia are you okay? “Isn’t it very difficult?”

“…”

“Scadia?”

However, Scadia, immersed in her grief, did not respond properly to Luan’s consolation and simply remained silent.

After a few hours, she regretted it and wandered off to find Lu An, but she shouldn’t have done that.

“Sister! I learned all 7 forms yesterday? “Good job.”

“Huh…But I have to go now. “My father called me.”

“Really? Then let’s go together!”

“No. I have to go alone. “I’m sorry.”

“Yeah, really? Then I’ll be waiting! Do you have to come right after we finish talking?”

“… Okay. See you later.”

Luan stared intently at the back of Isis leaving. Her obsession, dependence, and desperate feelings were immediately conveyed to Scadia.

‘You didn’t even cling to me.’

Even though she was the one ignoring him, she still couldn’t help but be disappointed in her attitude, which was clearly different from when she treated him.

As expected, Luan became more convinced that she loved Isis, not herself.

Scadia left the scene, wiping away the tears streaming down her cheeks.

After that, time passed helplessly.

After about two months, Scadia finally came to her conclusion that it was okay for Luann to love her, her, her Isis, her.

Even if you are not the first, you should receive at least a small amount of his love.

Since they are siblings anyway, he said he could legally be his wife.

I consoled myself like that, and before a few weeks had passed, the letters that Luan had been sending me at regular intervals suddenly stopped.

I was worried at first.

Because I thought something had happened to Luan.

However, she decided that if a really serious problem had arisen, news would have reached her sooner.

So the next emotion that came to mind was fear.

Because he was worried that Luan might have completely abandoned him.

I couldn’t bear to confirm this with Ian.

That’s why I wanted to visit right away, but Skadia hesitated. Because Count Ainz was on my mind.

After Countess Lucina died, he lived a drunken life every day.

I couldn’t leave the place as it seemed like if I took my eyes off even a little bit, he would follow behind.

In the end, as three more months passed, Skadia could no longer suppress her longing for Luan.

He headed to Friuli Mansion via the snowy mountains with only a bodyguard.

“You’ll be surprised, right?”

Scadia touched his hairpin with a playful smile and an excited expression.

It was an elaborately made butterfly hairpin.

So when she finally arrived at her mansion, it was her butler who greeted her.

The butler looked visibly embarrassed.

“No, Miss Scadia, what is going on here all of a sudden?”

“I came to see Luan. You have not seen her face for over 6 months already. Where is it?”

“That… You are still sleeping. Would you like to wait a moment in the reception room? “I will bring you, Master.”

“No. There’s no need for that. “I’ll go wake you up.”

“Ah, lady!”

Scadia, who easily ignored her butler’s call, turned to Luan with a stern expression.

‘Something was strange.’

No matter how suddenly she came, the butler was overly agitated even though he had only seen her once or twice.

As if she shouldn’t come now.

Her anxiety soared rapidly and her heart started pounding like crazy.

Boom boom! Boom boom!

With each step she took, the beat grew stronger and by the time she reached Luan’s room, it had become as loud as her thunder.

“Ha… Phew…”

Taking a deep breath, she bit her lip and opened her door as she tried to knock.

Kiiiii─

The moment the door opens feels like eternity.

The first thing that caught my eye was the clothes strewn about on the floor.

The maid uniform, which was intricately intertwined with Luan’s clothes, was particularly noticeable.

When I move my gaze to the bed, I see two people.

Long, pure white legs. A slim waist. Voluptuous breasts. Beautiful features. A maid I’ve never seen before is lying naked.

Next to him, Luan, also without any clothes on, was sleeping soundly.

The object, speckled with all kinds of sonic fluids as if from hard work last night, is raising its head upright and radiating heat.

It was like clear evidence that didn’t even need an excuse.

“Ah…”

Scadia sighed softly.

My vision becomes crooked and distorted. Tears flowed from anger and betrayal. I even wonder if this is a dream.

But reality is reality.

No matter how much you rub your eyes, the scene before your eyes does not change.

Scadia was confident.

‘Luan doesn’t love me.’

Until now, I just thought Luan’s love had transferred to Isis. But that’s not it. She’s just tired of herself.

Throughout her life, the promise to love only herself was abandoned like her devoted partner.

What she needed from him was not herself, but the body of a woman who could comfort him for one night.

The moment she realized that, despite the fact that Skadia felt her sadness, she quickly regained her composure.

Her agitated heart freezes coldly, isolating all her emotions.

She wiped away her tears and turned away, her face suddenly becoming expressionless.

Kkkk!

The door was closed.

At the same time, the door to my heart was also closed.

Now Skadia no longer has any regrets toward Ruan.

“I don’t believe it anymore.”

Scadia left the Friuli mansion that way.

And she never looked again.

Later, it was revealed that this was done by a vassal who was overly loyal to Isis by bribing the maid and butler, but there was no change in Scadia’s feelings her.

Because Luan already had no meaning in her heart.

Just like that, the two faced catastrophe.

*

Once again, another memory clutters my head.

I closed my mouth in silence as I looked at the sins this body had committed in the past.

Honestly, it’s not that I don’t understand.

At that time, Ruan Friuli was clearly on the edge of a cliff.

His swordsmanship has come to a standstill, his relationship with his fiancee has grown distant, and Isis has begun to avoid him, completely isolating him.

In a way, it is natural to want to fill that loneliness with the warmth of others.

There was no excuse for it to be a form of meat mixing.

If you’re going to do that, don’t worry about getting caught.

‘Oh my gosh.’

The thoughts that started with sympathy ended with regret.

Meanwhile, we arrived at the central stairs.

“Then I’m going.”

“Okay.”

Alyssa disappeared down the stairs as if she had no regrets at all.

I saw Deborah.

“Aren’t you going?”

“Hmm… “I want to talk to you for a moment. Would you like to follow me?”

“Now?”

“Yes. It’s important.”

Deborah’s demeanor was calm. Her transparent purple eyes are sunken deep, as if they are looking through everything I am.

I got a premonition from that appearance and slowly nodded.

“Good. Where should we go?”

“There is a walking path behind the building. Please follow me.”

Deborah took the lead, and we left the dormitory and arrived at the walking trail.

Walking along that path, I fall into silence.

And when we were some distance away from the dormitory and could not feel any sign of popularity around us, Deborah tried her luck.

“Luan. Do you know that?”

“I don’t know.”

“Yes?”

“I don’t know.”

“…”

If you ask me all the time, how do I know?

As she shrugged her shoulders with that expression, Deborah pouted her lips.

“It’s not fun.”

“I didn’t say it to be fun.”

“Anyway, listen to me first!”

“I’m listening.”

As she continued to talk back without saying a word, Deborah sighed and took her mood again.

“Luan knows my vision, right?”

“Okay. Come to think of it, she heard information about the Starlight Witch from a saint some time ago. Are you by any chance his successor?”

Deborah widened her eyes in surprise as she asked with half-confidence, then smiled slightly.

“… That’s right. “Master said that I was the one who received the blessing of starlight in this class.”

“I see. But why is Ye Ji-an suddenly?”

“That’s it. Actually…”

Deborah trailed off, suddenly bringing her hand to her, pulling out her lens, and staring at me with her starry purple eyes.

I couldn’t help but be surprised.

She lost her parents when she was young and was traumatized by it, so she stopped using her foresight, but now she is seeing a glimpse of her future on her own.

Deborah blinked her eyes several times, examined me, and then she asked a question.

“Luan. What do you think I’m looking at right now?”

“… Well. Am I raping another woman?”

As I spoke, I felt ashamed.

Even though Deborah already knows my identity, she doesn’t like being exposed like this.

I hope that the future she sees in her life her is limited to just rape. If I saw more than that, I wouldn’t be able to raise my head.

Amidst my worry, Deborah burst out laughing.

“Phew! Unfortunately, no.”

“Then?”

I’m glad it wasn’t rape, but then a different kind of worry comes.

Isn’t that what it looks like when you’re in the bathroom?

Looking at Deborah’s smile, she guesses it wasn’t such a dirty and unpleasant scene, but she can’t be sure.

In fact, she might be Deborah’s favorite Scott.

Deborah suddenly narrowed her eyes, as if her true intentions were revealed.

“What are you thinking? “Her eyes her look strange.”

“I didn’t think anything of it. So what did you see?”

She looked at my features for a moment as if suspicious, then got straight to the point.

“Nothing.”

“What?”

“I didn’t see anything. “I can’t see Luan’s future.”

“I can’t see it… ?”

My expression she became stiff.

‘What does this mean?’

There’s no way Deborah’s foresight wouldn’t work on just me, so there must be another reason.

Why doesn’t Foresight work?

I was lost in thought for a moment and suddenly felt Deborah’s persistent gaze at her.

She looked at me curiously, as if she knew what I was thinking, and when our eyes met, she grinned and dropped a bombshell.

“Luan. “You’re a possessor, right?”

Coo!

For a moment, my heart sank.
