“What are you talking about?”
Instead of answering, Felix smirked slyly at Erik’s irritation.
“Erik, you’re too primitive. Aren’t you curious about how far a person’s inner self can be trampled upon, rather than just killing them outright?”
What is he talking about?
Felix often spoke in vague terms, and the simple-minded Erik found this frustrating.
However, Hesta understood Felix’s words immediately, and his eyes lit up with interest.
“What do you have in mind?”
“First, we’ll start with a simple test. Whisper in the man’s ear that the woman seems to be after the ring. Then, let’s see how he reacts.”
“Why do we have to do that!”
Erik shouted, failing to grasp Felix’s point.
Felix sighed as if disappointed and explained,
“If I put it in terms you can understand, let’s see if sowing discord between them will work or not.”
Erik still looked puzzled at Felix.
“It was just a hunch at first. The way the man looked at the woman was strange. As if he was guarding something suspicious… So, this morning, I checked, and the woman tripped over our foot. And ended up covered in food.”
“And then?”
“Still don’t get it? Why didn’t the woman say anything about it after enduring all that?”
Felix smirked.
“It must be because the woman doesn’t trust the man. Maybe she thinks he won’t believe her, or something like that.”
Felix was quite perceptive.
That’s why he was able to safely escape with his group when ‘the children of the temple’ had ambushed the bandits.
“I want to see them both trample over each other’s trust. Wouldn’t it be fun to see them destroy themselves?”
“Oh, me too.”
With Hesta in agreement, Erik couldn’t say more.
What’s so fun about this?
He wanted to crush that woman and man right now. How amusing would it be to see their suffering faces?
“Forget it. I’m leaving.”
“I still have something to say, Erik. You need to be here.”
“Later.”
He didn’t want to hear anymore.
Having left the room on his own, Erik pondered.
‘Should I just take the initiative?’
Then Felix couldn’t say anything.
Erik fiddled with the ring he kept inside his coat.
Felix had told him not to wear the ring, so it was stored away.
The woman seemed interested in the ring.
If he could lure her out with it…
A plausible plan formed.
‘With this, I’m invincible anyway.’
Various interesting plans floated through his mind. What to do after luring the woman with the ring.
First, kill the woman, then show her corpse to the man.
Felix suggested killing them after making Dietrich and Charlotte distrust each other, but Erik decided to move on his own.
The fun part was playing with them first.
Swoosh—
That’s when he felt a chill.
Feeling his heart starting to pound heavily, Erik slowly turned around.
A dark figure was watching him.
“Aaaah!”
He almost screamed but quickly shut his mouth, not wanting to provoke it.
Shhh!
The dark figure quietly approached him, making a sound reminiscent of the wind.
“What’s this…”
The figure he had been afraid of turned out to be nothing significant.
“Just a kid?”
Was there a child in the mansion?
A boy with black hair and blue eyes stood there.
He somewhat resembled that knight.
…His son?
But he wouldn’t be old enough to have a son. Then, perhaps his younger brother.
“Hey kid, how old are you?”
“……”
He looked about seven years old.
The boy silently looked at him.
“It’s dangerous here. You should stay with the adults.”
“……”
“Hey?”
The kid, silently looking at him, suddenly smiled brightly.
That look was so endearing that Erik, who disliked children, unknowingly reached out to pat his head.
But the boy swiftly dodged, moving back.
‘What?’
Looking at Erik’s hand as if it were something filthy, the boy turned away without hesitation and disappeared into the darkness.
“Impudent brat…”
Erik watched where the boy disappeared and clicked his tongue.
‘But why has no one mentioned this kid before?’
