“Thank you for saving my sister, but running away like this is so suspicious.”

If I stayed there all along, I am sure you’d be anxious to find out who I was!

In addition, he used honorifics like a polite gentleman earlier, then immediately dropped them and treated me as a criminal because I ran away.

As Eden grabbed me by the back and pulled me out, I grabbed the hem of the hood to not show my face.

“Take off the hood.”

“Why do you take off someone else’s hood? Are you a pervert? Help me!”

“You sound sad, I was polite enough to do this, do you want me to tell you what real rough is?”

Eden’s eyes glowed fiercely at me. I faltered for a moment after reading the madness in his eyes. Yeah, this kid is no ordinary idiot.

“Seeing that you desperately hide you face, you must be identified. Do you know something about that beast? Why were you here at this hour? If you don’t talk until I count to three , be ready to die…”

It was when Eden grabbed the hem of my hood.

“Kyaaaah!”

A scream, presumably Aurora’s, could be heard from far away.

While Ethan hesitated in embarrassment, I shook him off and ran again.

“XX!”

I could hear Ethan swearing as he  looked back and forth between me running away and the direction where Aurora’s screams were heard. 

Then I suddenly realized that the brooch holding the hem of my robe was missing.

‘It’s not even Cinderella, why are you dropping it there, Cherry!’

I tried to go back, resenting myself for being careless, but Eden had already picked up the brooch that had fallen on the floor.

After examining the brooch for a while, Eden put it in the jacket pocket of his police uniform. Then, ran in the direction of Aurora.

I sighed and sat down in my seat.

The brooch Eden picked up was not engraved with the Sinclair family crest.

But to me it was more important than that, it was a gift from my late father.

Anha: naurrrrr, plzz Cherry is so unlucky

It was a brooch studded with rubellite, a jewel that resembled the color of my hair, and golden flowers resembling the color of my eyes were crafted around the rubellite.

C.S.

Initials were engraved on the back of the brooch.

But you wouldn’t even think that the initials were ‘Cherry Sinclair’. Because there’s no way that the well-known Cherry Sinclair would be catching monsters in such a dark alley.

The shock of losing my father’s last gift was great, but I had to live with it.

‘Yes, they won’t know it’s me.’

More than that, the sudden burst of Aurora’s scream caught my mind. The monster was definitely dead, so why did it scream again?

I was worried, but I couldn’t go back there. I’m afraid that I’ll get caught again by Eden.

I checked the Elpinus herb box I had packed in my belt bag. yes. In any case, the purpose was achieved safely.

2. What should I do when I know that the world is going to end?: Run away.

Time left until destruction, 20 days.

[The capital city, Benton, 61st Notium Street, a strange commotion! The victim is the Lady of Lancaster… !?]

The next day, the press was abuzz because of the commotion that broke out at 61st Street. There was no news of a fatality.

‘Aurora seems to be all right, I’m glad.’

However, there was not a single newspaper that told the truth that the monster appeared, only the articles said that it was a commotion caused by a suspicious assailant.

Even when I looked through it carefully from the beginning, I could only see the story that a mysterious attacker had attacked Aurora. It seems that Aurora’s final scream was caused by the stranger.

‘There was no monster story, it’s clear that someone is deliberately trying to cover up the incident.’

That was almost certain, it makes no sense that there were so many eyewitnesses but there is not even a single article about the mosnter.

If you watch an apocalypse or disaster movie, it used to be divided into those who want to inform the disaster before it strikes and those who try to cover up the event somehow.

In the novel <Mangsarang>, the only person whose name was specifically mentioned was the Marquis Kay. The villain who led the alchemists unethical experiments. It wouldn’t be strange to say that Marquis Kay is the real culprit behind all of this, and that he is using his power to cover up facts related to the monster.

But the problem is that the Marquis himself dies before the novel even begins. He was infected with the virus early on.

Unfortunately, now I have no power to find out the truth and stop the situation. Above all, the time was too short.

In this situation, even if I tell the truth, I will only be treated like a madman. Even Harrison, who treats me like his own sister, urged me to go to the hospital, but what about the others?

‘Let’s pack our things for now, or else I’ll miss the train.’

I put down the daily newspaper with the Aurora article and hurriedly packed my things. Elphinus herbs were wrapped very carefully and put in a bag. I got the vaccine, and at least I was a little relieved.

‘I might be able to last for about two years.’

As long as the shelter is properly stocked with survival items. There was a lot of work to be done, such as filling the shelter with food, daily necessities, weapons, and building a defensive wall around the mansion in case monsters invaded.

Just then, Susanna knocks on the door.

“Mis, you got a call, it’s from sir Eden.”

“What? Eden? the one from the Lancaster family?”

I was surprised and opened the door wide in fear, Susanna nods her head with an bewildered face.

“Yes, that’s right.”

No damn, I can already hear the sound of my life being put on hold.

‘Did he realize that I was the one who saved Aurora from 61st Notium Street last night?’

It reminded me of the brooch with my initials that Eden took. I asked Susanna, shaking my legs nervously.

“Why is he looking for me?”

“He said that  it’s confidential on business, he wants to talk to you in person.”

“Hmm.”

Let’s assume that Eden found out that the brooch belonged to me

If that’s the case, what Eden said is that he’s willing to negotiate with me soon. And to negotiate means that the other side also wants something from me, so I can’t say anything recklessly.

If that’s not the case, it’s possible that Eden called me to check me out without knowing anything.

In fact, it is true that you can’t really just figure out something just by picking up a brooch

After examining the circumstances, I decided on a course of action and told Susanna.

“Just say I’m not there, say that I went on a trip.”

It’s not a lie, I’m really leaving

Susannah nodded her head.

“Yes, I will tell him that you are away on a trip.”

After giving Susana a rough answer I flashed out with my luggage.

‘I can’t get involved with Eden in vain here, let’s run away quickly!’

I asked Susanna while waiting for the steam locomotive in front of the Sinclair mansion.

“Susanna, are you all packed?”

At my question, Susanna nodded her head with a stern smile.

“Yes. Please wait two days. I’ll tell the head maid and go down soon.”

Susanna, she is maybe an angel.

Along with Harrison, it was Susanna who I absolutely wanted to take to the shelter. She readily accepted my sudden offer to go down to Brunel.

“Wherever the young lady goes, I will follow.”

Susanna, who said so, said she would stay in Brunel for quite a long time,  and said that she said that she would pack all her belongings in the capital and come down in two days.

She said she, like me, had no family, so she had no reason to stay in the capital.

“Then, see you soon!”

“Yes, lady, take care of yourself!”

I said farewell to Susanna and climbed into my arriving car.

* * *

At that time, 61st Notium Street.

Because of the events that had taken place last night, there were many people on the streets looking around.

A man in an ultramarine police uniform was leaning against the wall of the 61s mansion, holding an open newspaper.

The uniform was perfect for the moderately muscular man’s body, the blue cape that hung only on one shoulder fluttered in the wind.

The man had an aura that was out of reach. People passing by the road glanced at it and turned around once in a while.

Deep blue eyes under his well-groomed blonde hair quickly scanned the newspaper article.

[Exclusive Report! The heiress of the Sinclair family, 100 million gold bank loan? Is it the big picture of the next queen to lead the Sinclair family, or the sad words of the setting sun… !]

Today, too, the news of Cherry Sinclair occupied the front page of the newspaper.

It is not strange for a woman who likes luxury to take out a loan, but isn’t this woman the heiress of the rich Sinclair family?

‘How much in a hurry you must be to take out such amount of money.. By the way, could a Sinclair heiress be in such a hurry for money in the first place?’

Eden kept thinking about the suspicious article. Could it be that it has something to do with the gambling club she runs.

At that time, inspector Marcel, his superior who was in the same department as Eden, passed by and spoke to him.

“What are you doing here? I’m telling you to stay out of this case. Are you reading another article about Cherry Sinclair?”

With that said, it sounds as if Eden is obsessed with Cherry. Eden narrowed his brows grimly.
