There Are Too Many Background Settings in the Possessed Novel

Maid’s Melancholy

Nias has been very busy these past few days.

I unpacked the luggage that had arrived from Duke Danehart’s castle, arranged the furniture, prepared the boy’s meal even though he didn’t eat it for some reason, and washed the boy’s clothes.

Nias was so busy that he wanted to borrow the master’s magic.

In fact, when the young master had some spare time, he would easily help Nias when he was in trouble.

“Pig, do you think every single thing like this is stupid?”

I could just help you. always mean

When Nias heard that, his lips naturally puckered out.

Still, when he hugged him tightly, Nias smiled bashfully when he saw the boy.

In fact, just like Nias was busy, Bocchan was also hectic.

The time the young master stayed in the room was very short.

During the day, he went to take classes at the academy, and at night he went out for unknown reasons.

The time we spent together was too little.

The amount of time we could spend together was getting smaller and smaller.

Even though it didn’t seem to have changed from Daninhart Castle, something was slowly changing.

Bocchan, who returned late last night and went to bed without hesitation, looked very busy this morning as well.

“Bocchan, tie!”

Nias hurriedly said when he saw Leonhard’s necktie crooked as he hurried out.

Nias sprinted closer to the boy and fixed the boy’s tie.

Less than a hand’s distance away, if you slightly lifted your head, the young master’s breath tickled his forehead.

Wherever the boy’s gaze landed, the heat rose hotly.

“It’s all done.”

After straightening his tie, Nias looked up at Leonhard and said.

And I was surprised.

Was it like that all along?

Golden eyes were looking at Nias with calm eyes.

a few days ago.

Ever since he entered the academy, the Bocchan’s eyes had been gradually changing like this.

Nias was unfamiliar with the changes that had happened to the young master, and felt sorry for them.

Because I don’t know what’s going on with you.

“Boss, would you like to go see the puppy after school today?”

Nias mustered up the courage to open his mouth, wondering if seeing something cute would ease the boy’s mood.

But what came back was the boy’s hand caressing my cheek.

Gently, but at the same time, like touching something precious, the young master sometimes touched Nias in this way.

The touch made me feel as if I had become something precious, and heat rose to my face.

“Do, Bocchan.”

When Nias tried to take the ball away, Leonhard stopped the small movement by applying force to the hand that was touching Nias’ ball.

And stare at the familiar with those gloomy eyes, as if unfamiliar.

“You never change.”

The Bocchan’s hand passed slowly over Nias’s parted lips.

Nias let out a heated breath at the slow, gentle touch.

Why does this touch feel so sweet?

And why do the eyes of the owner of these warm hands look so painful?

“Friend, have you dated again? Not that dog.”

The Master’s question landed in my ear.

The voice was so hushed that Nias didn’t know what to say.

friend… .

dated

Several of the same maids, even the housekeeper… .

Everyone was kind like the people at Daninhart Castle, so that was nice.

But somehow, Nias didn’t feel like saying that.

“… little bit. But everyone just does! A lot of… I don’t want to meet you!”

“okay?”

The young master let out a subtle smile that seemed relieved.

The master’s hand, the other hand, touched my waist.

I’ll hug you soon

In that comfortable arms filled with the warm scent of the young master.

Thinking so, I relaxed a little.

However, as if that was a vain expectation, Leonhardt’s hand hesitantly groped around his waist and then slowly withdrew it.

After the distressed expression passed, the young master opened his mouth in a soft tone.

“I will be back.”

Nias nodded hastily, as if waking up from a dream.

Leonhardt left his room.

‘It’s like silence.’

Nias thought as she turned to the quiet room where the young master was gone.

All the time Nias spent was no different from waiting for the young master.

It was because all the time without the young master felt boring.

‘…it would be nice if you just stayed by my side.’

Nias thought of the pitiful touch of the hand that was about to wrap around her waist.

I wanted to hug you I wanted to be wrapped up by the young master.

Somehow, for the first time in a long time, I felt a sense of loneliness piercing my body.

A loneliness so severe that you can feel the cold.

Nias was sitting in a chair and staring at the window.

I think I was thinking about the past.

‘I think the loneliness during my days as the Demon King was different from this.’

It was lonely then, but once you get used to it, it’s calm and it doesn’t hurt if you don’t think about it.

It was such a loneliness, as quiet as a snowy winter forest.

But loneliness now is something different.

It was a tumultuous loneliness, like a forest in which flocks of migratory birds flit about.

My heart was tight, it hurt.

‘sick… .’

Nias rubbed his stuffy chest and let out a long breath.

let’s do laundry

I got up lightly from my seat.

Nias, who was arranging the clothes the Bocchan had taken off yesterday in a basket, brought the shirt to his face without realizing it.

The familiar scent of the young master tickled Nias’ heart.

And, the scent of a stranger.

“Black.”

The clothes were crumpled.

Nias’ tears welled up at the unknown sadness.

Do not cry.

you knew

I wasn’t busy because I was busy, I was busy pretending I didn’t know.

Nias hugged Leonhard’s clothes.

Where does this loneliness come from?

He was still here, but only the young master was changing.

I left myself and ran alone.

I missed that familiar room in Daninhart Castle where the two of us were alone.

I was worried about the boy reading a book in a dark room where the curtains weren’t even drawn, so when I opened the curtains, the sunlight streamed in through the window and the dust glittered like crystals.

It was really just the two of us.

This academy was gradually stealing Nias’s young master.

so you’re lonely

Nias wiped the tears from her eyes with her white fingers.

Even if it becomes colorless and the tears fill up again, continue.

It was then.

A bad feeling came suddenly.

In the corner of the room, dark colored feathers were flying.

And there appeared a tall man with black hair.

The man, wearing a bird mask decorated with crow feathers, was swaying like an illusion.

One of the 7 Disaster-class Demon Lords.

It was an illusion created by Sbraq, the Raven King, through illusion magic.

Nias wiped away her tears.

The hot feelings slowly dried up.

“…Sbrach, what are you doing? You should have told me not to contact you until after the first incident.”

Nias asked coldly.

“Ah, ruler of all demon beasts. Please calm down your anger.”

Sbrach bowed deeply and said.

Although he spoke in an aristocratic manner, there was nothing but sinisterness in his voice.

“Is there something urgent?”

“no. Don’t worry. Everything is happening just as the Demon King said 100 years ago. Including the first incident that will happen today.”

The first incident that will become an opportunity for the name Leonhard to spread widely throughout the world.

A plan that Leonhardt’s heroic story will begin when he brilliantly solves the incident that will happen in the freshman entrance examination.

As the demon lord, Nias was able to help as much as possible by creating such an artificial story.

“Then why did you come?”

Just when Nias was about to lose his temper, Sbrach gave an unpleasant laugh with only the corner of his mouth twisting.

“But I guess I just knew something interesting. Because my crow has been watching over the Demon King all along.”

I wish I could have done something like that

The crows Sbraq commanded didn’t use magic to rule them, he just helped them because he was the lord of crows.

If you use the ubiquitous crow, there’s certainly no way anyone will notice.

So, Sbrach’s unit had the main purpose of information warfare even within the Demon King’s army.

giggle

Sbrach let out an eerie laugh.

Nias felt uneasy again and bit into the soft flesh in his mouth with his front teeth.

“I can’t imagine that you really fell in love with that candidate for the hero… The love between a young man and a woman always touches the heart.”

He flicked his long, black fingernails unpleasantly, as if playing a lyre.

“But shouldn’t the Demon King be like that? Since you are the one who guides all demons, you must not be swayed by personal emotions. You have to keep your dignity as a demon king.”

“Sbrak…!”

Nias shouted in an urgent voice filled with anger.

Seeing this, Sbrach giggled and laughed grimly as if he was having fun.

“I seem to have grasped the Demon King’s weakness. Alright then… it’s trading time.”

Sbrach got right to the point.

“deal?”

“yes. It’s a deal. The situation that the Demon Lord fears the most. Please help me keep my mouth shut so that the boy I love will find out who he is.”

“…do you think you’ll be all right? Sbraq.”

Nias clenched her hands and gave Sbrak a strong shot.

Sbraq, who wanted to monopolize information, wouldn’t have said anything to the other scourges.

In that case, he could have ordered one of those still loyal to kill Sbraq.

It really was nothing.

But.

“…love obscures reason.”

Sbrach was proud of Nias’ threat.

On the contrary, it even increased momentum.

“I make a deal. Demon King. giggle Instead of me telling the hero, the demon king just… gives me some of the power to recover in the future. Yes. That should be about half.”

It was an absurd proposal.

If he did that, Sbrach would become an even stronger demon even if Nias, the demon lord, regains all his strength.

In fact, it was like asking to hand over the real power of the Demon King’s army.

The whole situation then leaves Nias’ control.

Rather, it was an act that put himself and the young master in danger at the same time.

“I think that makes sense…”

It was just the moment I was about to say no.

“It makes sense. Because the Demon King loves the hero. I’m not saying you have to answer right away. Think carefully. Can I really reveal that I am the Demon King? Then, will that hero not abandon the Demon King?”

Sbraq looked at the speechless Nias amused, then laughed mischievously again.

“I will cut off contact with the Demon King and come back in 15 days.”

With those words, Sbrach slowly faded from the illusion.

A single feather fell from the remaining spot.

Sbrach didn’t even give Nias time to answer.

If you make them answer right away, it’s obvious they’ll reject you right away.

that was actually correct.

Nias put her hand to her chest in anguish.

Kuwu, it hurts again.

Breathing began to become difficult.

“..young master.”

I didn’t want to lose the young master.

I want to remain as his maid.

Speaking harshly, I didn’t want to lose his hand that sometimes hesitantly touched my cheek as if it were more precious than anything else.

“How am I?”

Nias held her breath and murmured.

.

.

.

I was looking at the hand that had touched Nias.

‘It’s getting worse.’

It was strange.

I felt that the stuffy feelings I felt for the first time were growing inside me.

In particular, those feelings were greatly inflated towards Nias.

At first, I thought I was too involved in making Libya a good kid.

However, recently I started to think that it might have been like this in the first place.

Maybe it’s just that I didn’t notice because Nias was in my perfect space.

Do you call this possessiveness?

Of course, it might be okay to surrender to those feelings.

Nias was my maid, and nothing would happen if I really owned Nias.

Who is to blame for locking them in a place where no one can see them and forbidding them to come out of the room?

‘However… ‘

I thought of the graphite-like pupils that innocently opened my eyes and looked at me.

Somehow, it seemed that he shouldn’t own Nias that way.

There was an emotional rejection, but there were also practical reasons.

‘Because there is a possibility that the story will be twisted.’

Some stories had to be recreated in order to achieve the achievement.

Like the first incident that will happen today.

‘okay. Even with a face like that, Nias is a demon lord.’

For some reason, my chest felt stuffy, so I loosened the tie Nias had arranged for me and walked out of the dormitory.

Glancing at the window of my room in the dorm, I saw crows congregating on the branches of a tall tree.

‘It looks like he came too.’

Raven King Sbraq.

One of the 7 Disaster Classes.

I actually sensed the events in the novel starting to take off.

There have been eventful incidents so far, but in fact, this first incident is the first real incident in the original novel.

“…Seon~bae!”

As I entered the classroom thinking about this and that, someone suddenly grabbed my waist with both arms.

Pushing her body with no hesitation at all, the girl stares at me with sparkling azure eyes.

“Are you here now?”

The girl who gently closed her eyes was looking only at me, as if she had no interest in anything else.

He doesn’t even look elsewhere. I am not vigilant to see if someone is aiming at me, only looking at me.

It’s good because it’s proof that you’ve become a good kid… .

I think it will attract unnecessary attention.

“Oh my God, when I said that I wouldn’t come out for a week, how could I have such a relationship with Prince Danehart… ?”

“Isn’t there something? … like a bad thing That girl is so pretty.”

“right. Prince Daneheart’s reputation is not serious… .”

I let out a breath as I watched others hum.

‘Nias doesn’t want to hear about this… Isn’t it?’

damn.
