'Ah.'
This is Lenox's method. You know, providing cowardly methods behind one's back.

The shoulder he was pushing on hurt to the point that it felt as if it was going to fall off.
But I didn't want to show that I was hurt.
With eyes wide open I asked him.
"What kind of disrespect is this?"
At that moment, Lenox clasped my back.
Blocking the area with magic, he clenched his teeth and regarded me with reddened eyes.
Immediately he hastily got to the main point.
"Did you get the ability by any chance? Or, did you hire a wizard? Why did you interfere with my work?"
It's even informal. You don't even have the least bit of respect for your ex-fiancé.
I glared at him.
In the past, he always wanted me to be incompetent.
["You're nothing without me, Meldenique."]
He pretended to be a lover and ignored Meldenique's capability .
["The business will fail because it is not marketable. Set it aside appropriately and get ready for marriage."]
Although skeptical at first, Meldenique truly believed him. As a result, it fell endlessly to the floor.
Ah, remembering that memory made me feel bad as if I had been covered in filth.
"People say that you've developed illusionism, that you're an alchemist, what gossip. There's no way that's true."
"Aah, alchemy.····."
I narrowed my eyes and looked at him.
"I don't know what you're talking about?"
I can't tell you yet.
I chuckled slyly.
There are two reasons why people are most angry. One is not talking to the end, and the other is!
"Tell me right now."
He quietly put the trigger in his mouth.
Ppiiik-
With an unpleasant noise, Lenox and I were surrounded by a round, opaque membrane.
I looked around with embarrassed eyes at the unexpected situation.
'What is this? Is it subspace?'
In a hurry I stepped back, but it was all in vain.
The subspace he made roughly held me in the center.
With a fishy smile Lenox smiled and whispered to me.
"After all, it's only you and me here now."
It came attacking me with a booming force that seemed to imprison me.
His brow furrowed in a frown.
"You don't want to die, do you?"
I sharply hit his face.
"Who wants to die?"
At that moment, the size of the subspace swelled as if it were torn apart and then it became smaller. I can't explain it, but the phenomenon seemed to be because Dominic was looking for me outside the subspace.
Maybe he sensed something threatening the life of his contractor.
The sound continued as if the subspace was distorting.
However, the opaque membranes that surrounded us was only tightly inflated.
All access to the surrounding area was completely blocked.
Lenox's powerful power was being activated. Something red was strongly blocking my vision.
In the original novel《Lovers Caught in Magic,》Duke Hessmann suddenly became strong.
This sudden intense power that's pressing my breath now must also be due to this.
"Are you trying to destroy the subspace?"
"Well?"
I don't mean to give you a hint, but I didn't do it.
I quietly shut my mouth and smiled.
"No, it would be difficult."
He grabbed my neck and easily lifted me up.
I frowned in pain. It sounded like it was about to make a cracking noise.
He threatened me by squeezing his hand against my neck.
"Meldenique Vaveloa. Show me your hidden power right now."
It was a face that looked anxious with urgency.
"What, ability, power?"
I was suffocating, but I shouted.
Although I am currently in a disadvantageous position in terms of body structure, I did not want to give in to the man who had an affair.
Lenox who was huffing and puffing shouted.
"Whatever it is, show me the ability from your bloodline."
'Bloodline?'
He said strangely, while being overly obsessed with my abilities. I don't know for what reason.
'Does my bloodline have an ability? What does that have to do with him?'
Blood rushed to my face as he strangled me, but I smiled at him.
"......Are you out of your mind?" Lenox murmured then frowned.
'I didn't lose my mind.'
I slipped back one leg with full strength.
"If you had still been in that trashy state, I would have married you."
He was ignorant of my leg moving as he looked at me like I was easy and spoke like a gentleman.
He couldn't see the pointed stiletto heels in my thin Empire dress.
No, he may have thought that his body was like steel in the first place.
'Now, prepare.·····.'
While I was struggling secretly with my legs, he was spitting out abusive language with his blood vessels full on display.
"If you have that ability, you are no longer of use to me now."
"I, I because I have the ability, I lost?"
Even when he heard me choking, he only smiled grimly.
"If you're not tamed, it'll be convenient to just kill you."
"Ke, ket."
"······If I can't get a child from you."
What?
Come to think of it, this human has been obsessed with Meldenique for a long time, saying that once we get married, we should have children.
"Is there some sort of a relationship between having a child and my power that was mentioned earlier?'
From my blurry head I remembered the words Lenox was saying earlier.
Ability. Bloodline. Child.
'What does it matter?'
"Do you have any last words?"
Anyway, now that I have expressed a new ability, it seems that he intends to kill me in the end.
'Now that it is clear. He seem to have nothing more to say.'
He strangled me with all his might.
My face turned red and my throat became tight.
The time is now.
I lifted my leg up and kicked his groin with all my might.
Pok!
"Eaak!"
"So."
Pook.
I kicked him once more because my hands didn't have enough strength.
"You should've let go when I told you to".
"Uh, ugh!"
Only then did he quickly loosen up his hands.
At the same time, my body fell quickly and vertically onto the ground.
"Ugh."
I squatted my ass onto the floor, but I quickly rolled over to the side getting away from him.
"Why are you cursing?"
I stood up shaking my palms.
No matter how strong a wizard he is, he can't respond to kicks as long as he's a man. He wouldn't have known. The fact that all of this was my plan.
I looked down at him in the chilly cold day and calmly recalled what had happened so far.
Just before entering the ballroom, I hastily sent Dominic a note.
This is because the faces of some of the masked men around the ballroom were ripe during the day.
In fact, it is difficult to memorize even the face of Lenox's close aids. However, in the past, Meldenique was suspicious of Lenox's affair and began to memorize all the appearances of those around him.
The activities of that period was close to stalking but was now helpful to me.
I thought seriously while touching around my neck.
'I was suspicious because Moodcella Maxon, a member of the imperial sect, would not have invited the close associates of Duke Hessmann, who is on the opposing side.'
It is common sense, if I was seriously injured at this ball, it could have also put pressure on the honor of the Maxon family.
So Dominic and I talked constantly.
['Mel, he may be trying to attack you during the right time, when your alone.'
'I feel like he's going to call me. What should I do?'
"Do you remember what you did to the pirates of the Red Diocese Corps?' ]
Dominique's power could be felt on her toes. Is this the privilege of the contractor?
['Throw it away.']
I smiled at Dominic's words.
'Unlike during the fight with the Red Diocese Pirate Corps, I didn't receive the power directly, but there was still damage..... I'm satisfied.'
Since I gave the present properly.
It was a crisis claimed by the stupid Lenox. He tried to put me down even though he knew that I had awakened my abilities.
'Ah.'
This is Lenox's method. You know, providing cowardly methods behind one's back.
