Chapter 146

—
‘What if another search party comes inside?’
I was terrified at the thought of going through this a fourth time.
The knights, who didn’t believe what I said, initially laughed it off as a boring joke and tried to open the door, but they failed.
I quietly remained in the spot where they had rushed out.
Sitting on the sofa in the first-floor hall, I slowly sipped my tea. It wasn’t until I had finished the entire hot cup that the knights returned.
“Everyone, this place is cursed.”
“……”
“And the reason Dietrich ended up like that… is because of this mansion.”
“What do you mean by that?”
I glanced over at Dietrich, who was mopping the floor near the door.
The current Dietrich was a hindrance to the conversation.
So I had him clean.
The search party had brought in so much rainwater that puddles had formed in the entrance, which wasn’t pleasant to look at. And, of course, it wasn’t sanitary either.
“Dietrich wasn’t like this when he first entered this mansion.”
“T-That’s right! Sir Dietrich wasn’t originally like this!”
The other knights standing near Tuvio quickly chimed in to support my words.
“He suddenly started acting strange. Sir Dietrich was always kind and had a noble character!”
“That’s right. The man over there seems like a completely different person. The Dietrich we knew…”
“That’s enough, isn’t it?”
Annoyed by the continuous praise for Dietrich, Tuvio snapped irritably, and the others fell silent.
“So why did that punk Dietrich end up like this, Miss?”
“I do not wish to scare you, but there’s a curse on this mansion that causes madness.”
“What?”
Tuvio, who had been sitting arrogantly on the sofa with his arms crossed, raised an eyebrow.
“A curse that drives people mad? I’ve never heard of such a thing. And we’re fine, aren’t we?”
“You don’t go mad immediately. Dietrich only started changing recently. Until a short while ago, he was kind and perfectly sane.”
“……”
Tuvio, deep in thought, finally spoke up.
“Then why are you fine?”
“I…”
“Isn’t it because she has healing abilities, Sir Tuvio!”
“That’s right. People say that those with healing abilities purify both body and mind. It seems to be true!”
To think the atmosphere could change so much just from using my healing ability once.
It seems that outside of this place, healing magic exists, and those who possess it are viewed in a very positive light.
“Do you believe this woman? You idiots. Why are you so easily convinced? Healing magic isn’t such a big deal.”
Despite having been saved by my healing power, Tuvio spoke up against me.
Nevertheless, he seemed to acknowledge the truth, as he was now listening to me.
Just before, he had been hurling curses and drawing his sword.
“I’m fortunate to be alright. However, Dietrich…”
“Sir Dietrich…”
The knights beside Tuvio showed sympathy.
For a brief moment, I caught a glimpse of envy in their eyes.
The situation wasn’t bad.
If I could just deal with this man Tuvio, I could hope for their support in defending Dietrich once he leaves.
“So what do you expect us to do?”
I began to explain the situation again, just as I had done several times with Dietrich and the bandits.
The knights seemed just as skeptical as they had been, but they soon came around.
The state Dietrich was in seemed to lend credibility to my words.
“So we have to find the Room of Truth?”
“But there’s good news. Dietrich and I have made our way to the fourth floor. It would be great if you could cooperate for just one more floor.”
“Hmm.”
Seeing their hesitation, I decided to drive the point home.
“You need to get out of here before you lose your minds.”
Unlike Dietrich.
“Charlotte.”
Just then, Dietrich approached—mop in hand, having finished cleaning.
