Assassins and Girls (4)

Seeing Leonhardt, Kayden was filled with a sense of humiliation.

That monster was not up to the level of destruction, but it seemed to be a level below that of destruction.

If it was like him, he could have been torn to shreds as soon as he attacked.

I saw the beast and held the sword in both hands, but I couldn’t take a single step forward.

My body trembled. The sword felt too heavy, and my whole body was cold from the sweat that seeped out little by little.

On the other hand, the boy looked relaxed as if he were lying in his bedroom even after the demon was in front of him.

Kayden wondered how he could be so incredibly strong at such a young age.

And at the same time, I was amazed and scared at the same time.

“senior. Magic Beast, are you scared?”

The beautiful boy drew a circular arc and asked.

His appearance was very nice, but at the same time, his beautiful golden eyes were gloomy and frightening.

I got goosebumps, and the nape of my neck felt cold.

“No, it’s not scary.”

Kayden thought he was crying.

Even if you think about it, it was an absurd lie.

would definitely have been

I had a hunch that it would be very difficult to hide something in front of that boy.

“Then I’m glad. Come here. I’m not afraid, can you come?”

It was a questioning tone, but a voice mixed with half-spoken words that was clearly looking down at him.

It was practically an order.

Kaiden didn’t move, as if he was protesting a little.

The pride that hadn’t been fully shattered yet made Kayden resist.

“senior.”

The boy opened his mouth in a strong tone.

The eyes that had been smiling kindly a moment ago were shining carelessly in the dark.

Kaiden recalled the cold, inorganic eyes of the boy who handed him the sword and forced himself to die.

At that moment, the weight of the sword was heavier than all the dozens of swords he had ever held, and it was colder than any winter.

‘What if I tell that monster to eat me this time?’

Leonhardt promised never to give such an order again.

But Kayden couldn’t believe him.

It’s just, uneasy and scary… .

But when he hugged me tight, I felt relieved somehow.

Was it because it was after he had gone through extreme fear?

Whoa.

Hearing the boy’s breathing, which seemed to be holding back something, Kaiden swallowed his breath and regained consciousness.

In the dark, the boy’s golden eyes were sinking more firmly.

Kayden swallowed dry saliva.

Reluctantly, Kayden took a reluctant step towards the terrifying Witchbeast and the more terrifying boy.

Each step was heavier and more creepy than when I approached the boy earlier.

As Kaiden stood in front of him, a huge monster that seemed to be made of darkness growled.

“Oh… !”

Kayden shrugged and took a deep breath.

I didn’t want to die.

An uncontrollable fear raged in front of his eyes.

My calves were sore, my legs were weak, I felt like I was about to fall… .

When the Witchbeast opened its mouth, sharp, large fangs that seemed like it would rip apart itself were revealed.

As the Demon Beast growled, the huge Demon Beast inflated its body like a balloon.

Kaiden shuddered as the already menacing beast’s mouth grew to the point of swallowing him at once.

‘I might really ask you to eat me.’

Kaiden recalled Leonhard’s emotionless eyes once again.

“senior.”

The voice of the boy who spoke firmly.

What command are you trying to give this time?

at that time.

“it’s okay.”

The boy tucked his arm under Kayden’s waist and wrapped it around him, speaking softly and soothingly.

The golden eyes looked endlessly friendly, but at the same time they were entangling themselves.

“As long as I’m by your side, I won’t hurt you.”

The boy’s hand warmly patted his back, and Leonhardt’s voice was heard softly in his ear.

Kayden was surprised by the reassurance and warmth his warmth gave.

At the same time, she recalled the moment she had cried while rubbing her cheek against the boy earlier, and her ears burned with heat.

And even now, just like before, it was strange that he felt most at ease in Leonhardt’s arms.

It’s like being in the arms of someone threatening you and avoiding the beast.

“It’s crying again.”

Kaiden didn’t even realize that his eyes were blurring, until he realized it when Leonhardt’s hand stole under his eyes.

“Do you usually cry this much?”

Have you ever cried so much?

No matter how you think about it, it wasn’t.

As a child, perhaps because of the harsh education he received, Kaiden didn’t cry much.

When I felt like crying, I usually gritted my teeth and endured it.

“Oh, no… .”

Leonhardt gave a small chuckle as he saw Kaiden stuttering and replying.

“There are so many tears, but I managed not to find out until now.”

Kaiden realized that Leonhard was joking, and he felt stupid for answering seriously.

How did Leonhard know his secret in the first place?

I didn’t tell anyone, I thought I didn’t get caught.

“But it’s okay to cry in front of me. I know your secret.”

Kayden couldn’t breathe for a moment, as if he had sunk to the bottom of the water.

secret.

Yes, it was because of the secret.

The secret that followed her all her life and prevented her from breathing properly.

I knew that the day would come when I would be caught, but I didn’t know that the first would be this strange boy.

“How on earth do you… know about me?”

So, Kaiden mustered up the courage to speak out.

Somehow, even though I said a word to this boy, my heart was beating like it would burst with a feeling similar to fear.

The next moment, the demon roared again, and Kayden jumped into the boy’s arms even more in surprise.

At Kaiden, who reacted like a frightened puppy, Leonhardt put on a troubled expression for a moment.

“It’s strange not knowing.”

Leonhardt whispered mockingly to Kaiden, who was slightly trembling.

“You act like this.”

Feeling resentful, Kaiden gritted his teeth and glared at Leonhard.

But unexpectedly, Leonhardt was not smiling.

It was an infinitely heavy, serious expression.

“First of all, senior, please die just once.”

At that moment, barely holding on to Leonhard, his legs, which were supporting him, came loose completely, and he almost fell.

I really want to kill myself.

‘As expected, I don’t want to keep my promise… .’

The blackmailer is, then.

When she got scared again, Leonhardt brushed her back.

“I’m not really asking you to die. I told you. It’s only this one time. This time, I want you to fake death.”

“Disguising death… ?”

“yes. It’s difficult to be alive now. I thought it would be safe, but just in case.”

Kaiden was both scared and puzzled at Leonhardt’s words.

“Ah, Libya… ?”

“I heard that again. Can you hear well even though you’re scared? You are so calm now.”

It was a familiar tone to mock and harass people.

Kayden felt something inside him shatter from the humiliation.

‘I’m not normally this calm!’

Obviously, just this morning… .

When she saw Yuria who had come into the president’s office with tears in her eyes, she would have rushed to the boy in anger.

“When did I… .”

“Listen for a second.”

Leonhardt didn’t even listen.

“It has to be anyway. It will continue to protect the senior, but you never know when it will target the senior again. I can’t keep you by my side all the time.”

“…Are you coming again?”

“It must be because I couldn’t kill the senior.”

Kaiden thought with his mouth wide open.

What is so terrifying and frightening that it comes again when this boy is gone?

Strangely, my body trembled.

The monster’s hot breath, which had just been about to break his neck, seemed to still cling to his skin.

“Don’t you like it?”

Kaiden nodded absently.

“Then, should I hide?”

“Breath, hide… ?”

“There is a secret room I know of.”

“room?”

Leonhardt did not answer Kayden, who was suspicious.

Instead, he took hold of her slender wrist, which was hidden by his clothes, and gently led her.

When Kaiden passed the Witch Beast, he closed the distance in order to get closer to Leonhardt.

“I’m waiting here.”

In front of the door, Leonhardt spoke as if ordering the Witchbeast.

Surprisingly, the Witchbeast really faithfully followed Leonhardt’s words.

what the hell is this boy

Kayden couldn’t possibly predict the boy’s identity.

Leonhardt and Kaiden walked through the dark hallway in silence.

My head was blank for some reason, and I felt like I had a fever.

There was a curfew in the evening, so no one was walking around, but it was scary to find out that the wrists were caught like this.

‘Perhaps even getting caught.’

It was Kayden who briefly fantasized about being a girl, but she shook her head and erased it.

‘It’s a stupid idea.’

Kayden had never thought of himself as a woman.

That’s how I grew up, and that’s how I’ve lived.

In fact, it was the first time for this boy to be treated as a woman.

Even though Kaiden was upset about it, a part of his chest tickled for some reason.

That was very embarrassing.

It was so scary, but I couldn’t tell if it felt good or not.

“Uh, where… .”

Kaiden looked into Leonhardt’s eyes and asked.

“it’s close.”

Leonhard said calmly. It even seemed a bit indifferent.

Kayden was rather comfortable with the indifference he had suffered all his life.

‘It would be nice if it continued like this.’

Kayden longed for it.

Leonhard and I arrived at a small resting room.

During the day, the furniture bathed in the sunlight coming in through the large windows was a place where the furniture shone brilliantly.

But now, the empty break room looked empty and cold.

While Kayden wondered why he had come here to hide, Leonhard continued to move.

To be precise, I was counting the number of candlesticks.

“One, two, three. Here you are.”

Leonhardt stopped in front of a candlestick, bent it upwards, and lifted it up.

Then the floor beneath the candlestick, which seemed to fit perfectly, was slowly pushed up.

“A secret staircase?”

Kayden asked in surprise.

“yes. It’s a place nobody knows. No one in this school.”

Leonhard grabbed Kayden and led him down the dark stairs.

I wanted to resist, but the thought of rebelling against Leonhard somehow made my heart beat faster.

A place nobody knows.

nobody in this school.

The words sounded so unsettling that Kayden’s body trembled as he went deeper into the darkness.

“Le, Leonhard… .”

Kaiden finally grabbed Leonhard with his chin shaking.

“It floats. Why are you trembling?”

Leonhardt spoke in a kind voice and gently stroked Kayden’s hair.

Does this boy really not know why I’m shaking?

Kayden shuddered slightly, but he had no choice but to descend deeper and deeper into the darkness like an open beast’s jaws.

Wanting to run away, I looked up at the top of the stairway, but somehow, I could only imagine a future where even if I ran away, I would be immediately caught.

After going down the stairs for a long time, it cut off in front of a thick black iron door.

“Is this it?”

Leonhard created a fire with magic and floated it upward.

‘Nice kid’s room’

It was written above the door.

“Here it is.”

Leonhard muttered something happy and grabbed the doorknob.

profit.

A door that seemed to have been built here was pushed open.

Inside, a chair made of steel, the same material as the door, and a small room leading to the side.

Other than that, there is only one bed left without a mattress, just a frame.

It was just a desolate room.

Kayden had seen this type of room in the mansion several times.

This place was called the corporal punishment room or discipline room in Kayden’s mansion, and its structure was exactly the same.

A room that only knew its existence because it was horrifying and repulsive to see the servants being punished.

“Hey, why are you here… ?”

Feeling anxious for a moment, Kayden looked at Leonhard and asked.

Could it be that you want to lock yourself in here?

“I-I… don’t want to go in here.”

Kayden’s words were more like crying than words.

The hand holding Leonhard’s hem was trembling slightly.

Leonhardt opened his eyes in surprise at Kaiden’s words, then smiled with his eyes widening.

“I have a senior here? You have a very good imagination.”

Kayden let out a long, trembling breath, feeling relieved by Leonhardt’s teasing words.

I didn’t know if I could trust this boy, but the words seemed to pat my nerves on edge.

And the next moment the question reared its head.

But if it’s not me… ?

who?

“Here, I was trying to move my senior to a safe place, but the traffic lines overlapped, so I came to check in advance… ”

Leonhardt’s eyes shone darker than the dim ones Kaiden had ever seen.

“There are other kids who need to be really good kids.”

Leonhardt’s voice passed Kaiden’s ears in a cool voice.

it’s crazy.

Looking at the madness that flashed in Leonhardt’s eyes, Kaiden thought.

.

.

.

“Senior is here. Wait a minute. I’ll come pick you up in a little while when it’s safe.”

After taking Kayden to an empty room not far away, I spoke as kindly as possible.

Kaiden nodded, blinking his eyes as if tears were about to fall again.

no, that’s… I’m trying to be nice, but strangely, he seems to be too afraid of me.

It seems that the genre has changed for a moment.

Hmm, what’s wrong

I pondered for a while, but I couldn’t seem to get an answer, so I smiled at Kayden and closed the door.

People’s emotions are not at will.

I went back to Kayden’s room.

The shadow demon was still waiting for me in the dark room.

I groaned and stroked the head of the beast who was rubbing my cheek, and I sat back comfortably on the sofa.

Soon, someone will come to this room who is wondering that their witchcraft has not returned.

“For mental illness, for mental illness.”

Therapy is mirror therapy.

I’m going to kidnap Libya now.
