The Woman Found the Will I Wrote

18 – Caught?

I wanted to pamper Delia all day long.

Since Delia was also the daughter of a famous family, there was a high probability that problems would arise if she was called without thinking.

If possible, she scheduled her appointments for early morning hours when she could sneak out.

Of course, it was a promise, but Delia’s intention was not included at all, so she muttered, showing considerable dissatisfaction…

‘What are we going to do?’

Even with her contract signed, there was nothing she could do. Nothing.

I spoke briefly while looking at Delia, who was quickly approaching from a distance, wearing a deep robe.

“You’re late.”

When she said those words, she made a tearful expression and spoke to me as if she were questioning me.

“There is a distance between your mansion and our mansion. What should we do?”

“Come out earlier. Or use magic.”

“I used magic a long time ago… Oh, that’s it. “What should I do?”

With those words, I pointed to a long wooden box nearby, about the size of a coffin.

“Please follow me and carry as much as you can magically lift.”

It was not a very difficult requirement.

She nods her head and talks to me.

“That’s easy.”

Then he lifts about 3 boxes using magic and speaks to me.

“By the way, what’s in here? “It’s pretty heavy.”

I was wondering for a moment whether it was right to tell you what was inside.

I thought it would be better to tell you now, since I would find out later anyway, so I answered briefly.

“Corpse.”

“Oh, it’s a corpse. What do I say again, then how far should I take it… What?”

Delia freezes in the middle of her words, turning her head and looking at me like a stiff wooden doll.

Looking at her like that, I made sure to kill her.

“Corpse.”

“…… “

Perhaps because the completely unexpected answer came out, she had a blank expression for a while.

After some time had passed, she cried out to me in an urgent voice.

“… Poetry, poetry, poetry, corpse? Dead body? “To the corpse?”

I knew it would be surprising, but the reaction was more than I expected.

I frowned at Delia, who was shouting loudly, to tell her to be quiet.

Delia speaks to me in a whisper, her face turning pale.

“Why? Why? Something like this? “Why on earth are you taking it with you?”

It seemed like he had no intention of stopping that noisy snout until an explanation was given.

I sighed and told a reasonably understandable story.

“It is part of research.”

At my words, Delia looked at her box and me alternately.

She soon closed her mouth and nodded her head carefully, as if she had understood something.

I could tell from the look on Delia’s face as she watched her box with a twinkle in her eye that she was under her illusions.

‘I guess they think my magical knowledge was achieved through that.’

It was far from the truth.

It was easy to deceive someone who knew that, so I moved around without bothering to deny it.

“Huh? “You brought her guests.”

When we take Delia to the welcome library, Amber welcomes us.

She didn’t seem to care who she brought, so she stood in front of me without saying a word and held up her large book.

“So what story will you sell today?”

In response to that question, I pointed to the boxes I brought and Delia.

“This is all.”

“… Ah. Are you including this person too?”

As I nodded silently, Amber spoke to me with an awkward smile.

“Received. However, if that person vehemently refuses, purchase of the story will be denied. Please convince me in advance.”

I spoke while looking at Delia, who had a blank expression on her face behind me.

“Get inside here.”

“… Uh?”

“It’s no big deal, so you don’t have to worry.”

“Bye, there’s no way it’s not a big deal. Just by looking at it, it looks very suspicious.”

It is a bit difficult to express it as not a big deal because I am not selling my story either.

So, I thought about it for a while and spoke briefly.

“What does that matter? “You have to follow what I say anyway.”

“That’s true, but… ! Anyway, isn’t this a bit different?”

He appears to be stubbornly refusing.

I have no choice but to harden my expression and continue speaking.

“This is a bit different… “Then it seems like what you were trying to do was in the good category.”

“Huh? “What?”

“There is no evidence, and it’s not enough to just put suspicion on me. Didn’t they make me verify it in front of so many people that they filled the auditorium?”

“That’s… “

“In the end, I won, so it passed without any major problems. If I hadn’t been able to prove it, I would have been in a lot of trouble.”

As I keep telling the truth, I keep my mouth shut and lower my head as if I have nothing to say.

I looked at her like that and didn’t feel like she was worth talking about anymore so she pointed with her finger into her room.

“Go in. From now on, if you talk back or don’t follow my orders. ‘There will be great responsibility placed on your family and yourself.’

At those words, Delia nods her head and goes inside her.

I am frowning, thinking that the subject of slavery is extremely annoying.

Amber runs towards me and talks.

“Then I will buy it right away! Let’s see… A total of 2321 gold!”

The amount is higher than you can imagine.

I looked at Amber with her eyes wide, somewhat surprised by that amount.

Amber smiles awkwardly and talks to me.

“The value of the woman we brought in this time was high, so we were able to put a considerable price on it.”

Of course, compared to 1 million gold, it is only three feet of blood.

Considering that the value of the criminals brought in so far had stopped at around 10 coins, we could see that Delia had a surprisingly excellent value.

While she was surprised by the unexpected amount, a guess suddenly crossed her mind.

‘Could it be that the more relevant it is to the content of the novel, the more expensive it is?’

In other words, the Ariel we caught this time…

A thought crossed my mind that if I were to sell the guy who tried to assault Rumi on the rooftop, she might be sold for a very high price.

‘You better check.’

It doesn’t matter if it sells expensively, it doesn’t really matter if it sells not expensively.

I decided to try an experiment and called Delia, who was shaking in her room with her eyes closed.

“Stop it and come out.”

At my words, Delia stopped, looked around, and spoke to me with a ‘Huh?’ Sound.

“No way… Is this the end?”

Nodding her head, Delia blinks her eyes and looks at me.

“Why?”

“…… “

He is a troublesome guy in every way.

I didn’t answer, but just walked past Delia and talked.

“Then now we have to bring these corpses back, so use magic and follow us.”

“Uh, yes.”

She hurriedly followed after me, looking relieved but also sounding puzzled.

* * *

“Well, it’s finally over.”

Delia seemed to be quite exhausted, sprawled out on the stone and breathing heavily.

I silently watched Delia’s behavior, which made me wonder if she was a noble daughter.

I immediately looked away and continued speaking.

“Now then, let’s go back.”

“Oh, yes.”

If it seems like I’m regretting something, am I mistaken?

I tried to ignore Delia, who was staring at me, and went back to her house.

Delia speaks to me, lifting her head.

“Wait a minute… “I have something I want to say.”

I tried to ignore it, but I finally spoke with the feeling that I had finally gotten her to say it.

After hearing this countless times, I turned my head to tell her to come out.

Delia takes a deep breath and speaks to me.

“Do you remember what I said last time, that I would help you modify your magic if you listened to me carefully?”

A story about throwing carrots just in case.

She nods her head at those words and Delia talks to me with a rather serious expression.

“If you promise me that you will really keep that promise. “I won’t just help you because of a contract, but I will sincerely work with you to help you achieve your goals.”

From noble mtl dot com

I will do it voluntarily, not because I am told to do it.

I didn’t expect such a suggestion to be made, so after thinking about it for a while, I nodded and spoke.

“I will do that.”

There is one reason why I accepted such an offer even though I was bound by a slave contract.

This is because, no matter what, the contract is considered fulfilled as long as it is kept.

‘In one word, when it is stated in the contract that you should help me.’

The story is that even if you just pretend to work rather than work hard, you are judged to have fulfilled the contract.

So, it would have been unreasonable to expect them to work hard even if they were forced to do so through a contract.

When he voluntarily told me that he would work hard, it felt like I was lucky enough to catch some fruit that had fallen by the wayside.

‘By the way, it seems that magic modification is quite difficult and important in this world.’

In the novel, Rumi did it without much difficulty, so I thought it was a given.

Looking at the reactions of those around me, it seems to be a much more difficult task than I expected.

I decided to throw some carrots while watching what was going on and was about to head back.

Behind me, Delia, who smiled for the first time today, spoke to me in her voice full of laughter.

“Yes, you worked hard. It’s a dog. Bruise!”

That damn dog.

When you move forward thinking that you don’t understand anything.

I saw someone in front of me looking at me with a shocked expression.

I looked to see who it was, and saw Shien with her face dyed bright blue.

I met Shien’s eyes and wondered why she was standing here.

Sien talks to me, rolling her eyes as if she had committed a crime.

“… Lord Dern, I’d like to talk to you about something, but you have a guest. Also, a customer who meets at dawn and makes dog noises.”

I guess I heard the sound that Delia made.

When I realized that there was a mountain beyond the mountain, I sighed deeply.
