Legion’s day was busy. But even during his busy schedule, he did not forget to see Luana whenever he had time. The reason was not only to help her but also to make time for himself to rest.
He was happy no matter what he did with Luana. For him, spending time with her equals resting. That’s why he used to tell Luana that I was going to rest.
“That’s all for today.”
With a tired breath, Legion said to the butler.
“I’m going to rest now.”
The butler nodded and told him Luana’s whereabouts, which had constantly been reported to him.
“She must be in class with Madam Safia right now. But it’ll be over soon, so I think you can leave early.”
“How about Madam Safia?”
“She is still teaching her, she made the class a little harder, but it doesn’t seem she has any bad intentions.”
“Keep her in watch. I don’t think the Rusti family would have sent someone without any intention.”
“All right.”
After the conversation, Legion stood up from his seat to see Luana.
‘I think it’s been a while since we met.’
Over time, a lot changed. Although the curse was not lifted, Legion fell in love with Luana. The emperor died, and Ingrid disappeared. However, seeing the news about the Kingdom Death Squad, they seemed to be working hard.
Not everything that changed was good news, but it wasn’t bad. The emperor’s position was troublesome, but he could keep Luana by his side for the rest of his life. Legion let out a small chuckle.
Every day felt happy for him.
When Legion arrived near Luana’s classroom, he saw Madam Safia coming out of the room.
“Your Highness?”
Madam Safia looked at Legion, surprised.
‘Why is she so surprise meeting me?’
Legion thought so.
The next thing went by in a flash. She looked around, pulled out a little pouch, and threw it away. As he flinched, the pouch opened, and the powder burst out.
‘Poison?’
He was flustered, but for a moment, Legion shouted.
“Luana, it’s poison. Don’t come out!”
He was immune to poisons, but Luana wasn’t. He then tried to figure out the poison he had just inhaled. If it were poison, he would cancel Luana’s adoption to the Rusti family, and Madam Safia would have to stand before the court.
Legion felt dizzy, and then he heard someone whispering in his ear.
“You don’t love Luana anymore.”
It was a strange yet familiar voice. He looked up in surprise, but that person had gone. The only people in the hallway were himself and Madam Safia. She was trembling, but Legion didn’t care about her.
“Raven.”
The raven who responded to Legion’s voice appeared.
“Hold on!”
After saying that, Legion bowed down. His head became dizzy, and he felt disgusted and wanted to puke. He was holding out not to collapse, but he heard Luana’s voice.
“Legion! Are you okay?”
Luana wanted to run out when she heard Legion’s voice, but she couldn’t because he told her not to come out. It was because she knew who would be more in a difficult position if she was poisoned. However, no matter how much she tried to stay still, she wanted to leave the room. Luana opened the door a little and looked out. She saw Legion fall to the floor.
With her patience, she endured the desire to run away at any moment.
“C- can I go out now?”
Luana’s voice trembled as she leaned forward as if she would run immediately. As she was stamping her feet, she saw Legion waving his hand.
“N- not yet. Don’t come out.”
In the meantime, Madam Safia, who was caught, was brought before Legion. She looked uneasy but tried her best to make up her mind.
“What’s this powder?”
Madam Safia could not immediately answer. She heard from his brother that it was a magic powder, but she wasn’t sure if it was real. Maybe he lied, and the powder might be poison! She had doubts about her brother for the first time in her life.
“I don’t know.”
So that was the only answer she could offer. She couldn’t give a great response. However, this was the only way left since she couldn’t sell the Rusti family’s head name.
“You don’t know?”
It was ridiculous.
Legion tried to question Madam Safia further, but before that, his body began to weaken even more. He wanted to hold it out, but he finally lost consciousness.
“Legion!”
Luana ran out of patience and ran out. Even if it was dangerous, she couldn’t hold out anymore. She watched Legion fall down the hallway, and her heart sank. She wanted to look at him immediately, but she didn’t know anything about medicine. It could be a big deal if she messed up! While panicking, the doctor called by the raven arrived.
It was not long before Legion, who collapsed in the hallway, was taken to the room. The doctor examined him with a serious look and shook his head.
“You said he inhaled some strange powder?”
“Yes!”
“You don’t know what powder it is?”
“Madam Safia hasn’t opened her mouth yet. She just says she doesn’t know.”
“Hmm. It doesn’t seem to be poison. The powder doesn’t have much effect on his body. Now he is just fast asleep. That’s all.”
“He fell asleep?”
Luana bit her lips out of anxiety.
“Yes, I think we’ll have to wait and see until he wake up.”
“Until he wakes up….”
Luana sat on the chair next to Legion’s bed and looked at him. The doctor said he was asleep, but his expression did not seem good. In particular, the sight of him groaning and frowning his brows from time to time looked painful.
Legion couldn’t get up from the bed for over a day.
Around that time, the doctor assumed various situations and began to study some plans, and Luana also tried to find what she could do.
In an instant, a witch who mainly used powder and drugs came to her mind. Gerald recently left with a remark.
‘He didn’t make this powder, did he?’
Luana wanted to believe so. However, in her mind, she was suspicious of him.
“Gerald.”
She may have to visit him. She was a little worried about going out while Legion was asleep, but there seemed no other way. Luana put on her hoodie and went to Gerald’s old house.
***
Knock, knock
When she knocked on the door, someone familiar opened the door.
“Luana.”
Gallard welcomed Luana with a bright smile.
“What brings you here?”
Without returning his greeting, Luana asks straight-forwardly.
“Do you know this powder?”
It was part of the powder confiscated from Madam Safia.
“This powder?”
Gerald looked at the powder for a moment and nodded.
“I know. I made it.”
She was at a loss for words for a moment at Gerald’s calm answer. Luana poured out her rising anger.
“Was it all of your work, Gerald? Legion is unconscious because of this! How could you do such a sinister thing? Is it because I said I don’t want to follow you?”
“No, wait a minute. Luana, it’s a misunderstanding.”
Gerald, who calmly waved his hand, said to Luana.
“Let’s come in and talk.”
She came all the way here, and she couldn’t back off. Luana followed Gerald inside. The house had not changed a bit from when she lived here.
“Sit down.”
“I’ll just stay stand and listen.”
“Well, Luana, I don’t know what made you think I was the culprit, but it’s a misunderstanding. It’s not uncommon for a witch to distribute some of their works to earn money from the human world. I’ve also sold a few items before.”
“Do witches need money, too?”
“There are things that can only be obtained with human money. You don’t know that, Luana?”
Gerald caused it, but she couldn’t blame him. Of course, there was a problem with selling such things, but the person who used them was different.
“Then what kind of drug is this?”
“Let’s see.”
Gerald looked closely at the powder and nodded.
“It is the powder that moves one’s heart.”
“Moves heart? Is that possible?”
“It may or may not be possible. This is a complex powder. It must have been sold to humans when they needed a lot of money in the past.”
At the same time, she decided not to ask for more details about the incident because he looked nostalgic. When Gerald made that face, it was usually related to her mother. But she had to figure out a way to solve this.
“Then where is the antidote?”
“There is no antidote. It’s something you have to overcome.”
“There’s no antidote?”
“It’s a drug that doesn’t work well for witches in the first place. So, did they really need to make an antidote?”
It was very Gerald to have that kind of thought as he was someone who revolves around the witches. But now, Luana needed an antidote.
Legion’s day was busy. But even during his busy schedule, he did not forget to see Luana whenever he had time. The reason was not only to help her but also to make time for himself to rest.
He was happy no matter what he did with Luana. For him, spending time with her equals resting. That’s why he used to tell Luana that I was going to rest.
