Going back a few minutes in time, while Dantalian distanced himself from Echidna and headed to Marian's office, Echidna made her way to her own room. Inside Dantalian's room with the other girls, Freytan was sitting on the bed, gazing towards the door. Her lilac eyes displayed a small yellow gleam around the irises. 'What should I do?' Freytan thought, her mind lost in another world, practically immersed in thoughts. 'How can I tell him?' Freytan's face started turning red. 'I feel dizzy...' She…-

After his brief moment with Echidna, Dantalian fulfilled his promise and took steps to resolve everything. Standing in front of Duchess Marian's office door, Dantalian cleared his throat and knocked on the door. "Duchess Marian, are you there? Can we talk?" At this time, all the employees had already gone home, and it would be complicated for Dantalian or even Echidna to explain everything to them. It was best to avoid that headache and keep them in ignorance; sometimes, ignorance can be a…

During the early hours of the day, Dantalian was awakened by the voice of a girl calling him to talk, standing outside his room. Taking a quick glance at her appearance, he asked, "So, this was your decision?" "Yes..." Echidna replied. With a gentle smile on his face, Dantalian extended his hand to the girl and said, "Then let me take care of the rest now, Echidna." "Alright..." Echidna extended her hand towards Dantalian's, hesitating for a few seconds, but then opened her hand, releasing the…

"Daughter, I'm being serious..." Marian got up, her body feeling weak and her back cracking as she settled on the floor. She couldn't help but curse under her breath, frustrated at her own predicament. Her memories were hazy, and she couldn't recall what had been done to her. Shaking her head, Marian locked eyes with Echidna, who wore a disapproving expression. "So, you still refuse to believe me? Well, I suppose it's understandable," she said with a tinge of resignation in her voice. Dantalian's…

"Place her here and let her rest," Dantalian spoke, standing in front of the couch where he was seated. "Afterwards, please do me the favor of taking her to a room." "No problem, you already have one in your possession," Echidna smiled, running her hand over Freytan's forehead. "Master, you should take care of that, her body temperature is too high," Fiona spoke, her right eye shining in blue. "Unfortunately, I can't do that," Dantalian said, his eyes covered in golden energy. "Master?" Amanda…

Returning back in time to when Freytan was ten years old, two years before Marian became the Duchess, because the family that held that title had died in a massacre that occurred in their region. In the Murim region, in a different country where the main village of Freytan's clan was located, an attack was about to take place. A colossal gray worm with red stripes and a mouth full of sharp teeth, arranged in four rows encircling the entirety of its mouth, rose up towards the sky. Its head then…

Marian sighed as she looked directly at Dantalian. She spoke while hearing Freytan's footsteps getting closer. "Are you sure about doing this?" "Hmm? I am already doing it, so what's the point of your question?" Dantalian spoke, activating the Divine Hand with both hands hidden in his pockets. "You know, I am a duchess..." Before Marian could continue speaking, a gust of wind blade passed in front of her eyes, cutting a small strand of her hair that fell in front of her eyes. "You bitch, behave…

In the city, inside a tavern, all the villagers were celebrating the new era that would make this town an even better place, while they awaited the true party that would take place at night. They were complete fools, easily deceived. At the same time, Dantalian and the Duchess, along with the other girls, were in front of their carriage bidding farewell to the villagers who had ignored the celebration at the tavern. "Master, before we go, can I buy something to eat? Since the journey is a bit long,"…

In front of the guild, above the stairs, stood Duchess Marian alongside Dantalian and the other girls. "Miss Duchess, is what you're saying true?" asked a bewildered villager, a man with black hair holding a basket of fruits. "That monster was truly killed?" asked a woman, cradling a baby in her arms, unable to contain her joy. "What fantastic news! That scumbag got what he deserved. Who in their right mind goes around punching people for no reason?" The man standing next to him, using a piece of…

At the same moment Echidna activated an unknown power for her Marian's expression turned fearful as she widened her eyes, thinking, 'He's dead...' Marian looked in the direction where Echidna would be, and in that instant, Marian seemed to receive an electric shock, causing her body to lean forward. 'All three of them are dead.' A dark aura began to emanate from Marian's body, but then Dantalian asked, "Is something wrong, Miss Marian?" "Huh?" It was then that Marian realized what had happened.…
