Finally, what was bound to come has come…….
Crete had sent a servant to tell me to come to his office.
I moved my steps with a very nervous expression.
Creak, the door to the office opened with a sound.
As I entered the door, I saw Crete sitting in a chair with a cold expression.
'What the hell is he thinking…….'
I couldn't figure out Crete's intentions at all, so I couldn't relax my tense expression.
In the end, I had no choice but to ask my question out loud.
"Why did you spare me?"No matter how much I thought about it, there was no reason for Crete to spare me.
Not only did I rob the Eye of Arrogance of the Bares family, but I also deceived his daughter, Rene.
Crete opened his mouth as if it were natural for me not to know what was going on.
"I spared you because you're useful."
“…….”
I was furious inside.
So.
What the hell is that use?
I had already noticed that Crete wanted something from me.
But I couldn't figure out what he wanted.
Should I say it felt creepy…….
The moment I glanced at Crete with my gaze,
"You did a good job deceiving my daughter."
“……!”
Along with the bloody laughter that Crete let out, a tremendous amount of magic power squeezed my body.
My shoulders trembled and my breath became shallow as I received the full force of his aura.
I barely managed to gather my mana and release the Killing Intent trait.
Woo-.
Perhaps he didn't really intend to pressure me with his full power, but despite the vast difference in our abilities, our killing intents collided and canceled each other out.
Crete looked at me with a slightly impressed expression and withdrew his aura.
"You're quite capable."
“……Please don't play such tricks.”
"Why should I?"
"You don't intend to kill me anyway, do you?"
"Hmm, you're quite perceptive."
Crete said with a smile.
"Your name is worth knowing, tell me your name."
“……Adel.”
"Adel, Adel……."
Crete looked at me, repeating my name without the Arsene family name.
The gaze was very burdensome…….
But, there was no need to continue feeling intimidated.
I straightened my back and asked Crete back.
“Then, please tell me what you want from me.”
“It’s a simple story. Continue what you said to my daughter.”
“What do you mean…….”
“I won’t say it twice.”
“…….”
I realized Crete’s intention.
Crete was urging me to be Rene’s escort.
Why?
For Crete, I must be an outsider and a very suspicious figure.
Doesn’t he think that I could be a threat to Rene?
While staring at Crete to figure out his intention, I couldn’t help but laugh inwardly.
The reason why Crete made such an absurd suggestion.
‘……I guess why.’
Crete’s emotionless eyes.
Crete was confident.
Confident that he could tear me to death if I betrayed him…….
What an arrogant man.
He judged my level within a few hours of meeting me and was trying to crush me under him.
He was truly a man befitting the title of the Bares family lord.
It was when I was inwardly impressed.
Clack.
As soon as Crete gestured, my body floated up in the air.
I had to swallow my saliva at the irresistible floating sensation.
“Open your mouth.”
As soon as Crete spoke, my intuition sent me a strong signal not to open my mouth.
However, Crete forcefully opened my tightly shut mouth.
Then, a venomous snake resembling a dragon crawled up my neck from Crete’s palm.
The venomous snake invaded my esophagus and rampaged, and at one point, I realized that it had settled in the middle of my chest.
Throb…….
The process was so painful that I coughed, and Crete continued to speak indifferently.
"It's a type of Gu poison. If you have any other thoughts, the Gu will destroy your body."
“……!”
I couldn’t help but tremble greatly.
Gu poison.
It was the name of a poison made of mana that parasitizes the human body and leads the host to ruin.
If I were to betray Rene or try to escape the Bares territory, Gu would mercilessly tear my heart out.
There was no way I could do anything about it, since trying to remove Gu would send a signal to Crete.
In short, if I were to go against Crete's will in the slightest...
It meant that I would be in a situation where my heart could burst and I could die.
“I will call for you again later. Get plenty of rest in the meantime.”
Crete gave me an order, his face pale and trembling.
Dammit…….
I suppressed my anger and cursed inwardly.
He wasn't even going to give me medicine or anything, and yet he was giving me such a nonchalant order in this situation.
……But it was clear that I was the weaker one in the current situation, so I had to swallow the curses that had risen to the tip of my tongue.
“Withdraw.”
I bowed my head deeply and dragged my feet at Crete's repeated order.
However, there was not a trace of frustration on my face, which was bowed down.
Because a way to remove Gu poision had just crossed my mind.
