***
It's already been more than 20 years.
The day of Meldenique's mother, the previous Duchess of Vaveloa, death was depicted as if it were real.
"When I die, you will take my place, after cheating with my husband."
Her voice was too refreshing for a sick person.
Hildegart frowned.
I always hated that woman's leisure, but today I added more. There is no other monster that says you are bright even before you die.
"You're going to die anyway. Look at the hideous patterns on your body."
"Aah········. It's called the dragon curse given to our blood relatives. But I'm not dying because of this pattern."
A black pattern appeared on the body of the former Duchess for an unknown reason.
People said it was a sign of death.
But she held out with determination.
It was the same today. She only looked at Hildegart with a slightly emaciated face.
"I'm dying because you poison my food."
"········What?"
"But no one listened to me."
"There's no way we'll listen to a woman who's cursing today and tomorrow."
The woman, who continued her speech with a gentle face, gasped again.
"You'll die cursed one day, too."
Did she mention that she can make short prophecies?
I don't remember exactly. Because she died soon after that.
Hildegart, who immediately forgot about those words, was full of spirit.
It was the place of the duchess that was obtained with difficulty. So Hildegart had no choice but to be more obsessed with her legitimacy.
Now the nightmare is over, but Hildegart kept fumbling with her face.
It was because she remembered a terrible message that she would die cursed.
Hildegart opened her eyes and looked around.
Fortunately, this place was in the carriage. The nightmare shown by the illusion stone is over.
"Ma, madam."
As soon as the maid spoke in a bewildered tone, a flash of light overflowed from the pendant that had fallen to the floor of the carriage.
A terrible illusion that could not even be compared to before hit Hildegart again.
She began to move and wriggle her body.
The scarlet face, dark night, and strange black smoke in the pendant chewed Hildegart's whole body and swallowed it.
Hildegart's evil deeds so far began to play in her head.
"Kkeu, kkeueuk!" (TN- korean version of a strangled cry.)
With a shortness of breath Hildegart grasped her throat.
'As a devil, it's a bit odd to say this, but this is a really bad human being.'
Ordinary human beings see visions but do not lose their minds this much.
They just get a little trauma from a terrible nightmare.
'How many people have you bullied and killed?'
The devil's voice soon passed by Hildegart's ear and moved away.
However, in Hildegart's view, there are still the spirits of the people she bullied and eventually killed.
This is because so far she has been putting too much blood on her hands.
"Ho, hook...... eu, eueuk!"
Hildegart's spirit has already been shaken and has begun to fall into a state of sudden coma.
Ta-ang!
Her body curled to the floor like a rotten log branch.
"Madam! Wake up!" Horseman!"
At the maid's cry, the carriage, which had been running without going through the boulevard, stopped in the middle.
The door of the carriage quickly opened and the maid rushed out and screamed.
"Please, someone help me!"
The maid sweated and hastily pulled Hildegart's chilly body out of the carriage.
"Driver! Report it to the security. Pl, please!"
But, desperately, there were only the coachman who was bewildered and trembling with his hands.
Hildegart did not bring a single knight of the Vaveloa family to this place.
The reason was simple.
She didn't want to announce that she was heading to Méldenique's stationery store.
"H, h, how......"
The maid looked at her master and hardened with a puzzled look on her face.
Suddenly, Meldenique came into her sight.
'I don't know what Meldenique-nim is good at.'
Despite the gap in status, I remembered a past when I openly ignored, but now is not the time considering the situation.
The maid, who was shamelessly trying to ask for help, paused.
Behind her back stood a man she had never seen before.
***
I reached the carriage of Hildegart, which had completely stopped.
Hildegart's body, which fell into a coma, was thrown to the side of the large boulevard.
Her face was covered with ugly spots and all kinds of the ancient language.
'How does it feel to be stuck in the illusion stone that you designed?'
I have been looking forward to this day since the petit debut.
After the Viscount Telln and Hildegard left the academy with a stone-set illusion stone.
'I wish I could see the nightmare and do something.'
I brought the illusion stone to my stationery shop and did a complete renovation. And I put it in the stationery store like bait.
The idea was to make her see a nightmare with the illusion stone and give her pain, and then summon a demon for just 3 seconds to tell her clearly what she was going to do.
Hildegart was trying to give children a terrible nightmare for her own gain.
So, on the contrary, I thought that she had to see it in person.
But something was a bit off.
'This is...... Out of my prediction.'
After looking at Hildegart once, I looked firmly at the maid looking at me.
A silent voice was heard behind my back.
"Don't panic, Mel. I stopped time for a moment."
I looked around. Come to think of it, even the air that touched my cheek was different.
Someone from behind my back covered my eyes even before I recognized that fact.
A large hand covered everything from my eyes to the corners of my lips.
"It's dangerous if you get close. The Duke's wife has completely lost her mind and chose to escape reality."
"······ Issac?"
I could feel a bit of anger remaining in the voice of the decadent man.
"You're so nice."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm sure that you are trying to show her exactly what she did."
I felt a bit guilty.
This man is quite smart.
I can't believe you figured it all out from the illusion stone rolling on the floor, Hildegart, and me.
"The problem is, that woman has sinned too much."
His gentle voice made me feel like I was getting fluff in my ears.
He continued normally as if he were talking about today's lunch menu.
"······What?"
To my question his voice slowly drew closer.
His voice quietly falls into my ear.
His lips barely touched her ear then fell.
"The Duchess must see in her visions all the evil she has done. That's why she's in a coma."
Can it be.
"A few murders, maybe more. She won't be able to get out of it for a while."
When I didn't respond, his slow tone became more impatient.
"So what I want to say is."
"Yes."
"For using illusion techniques...... don't feel guilty. You didn't do anything wrong."
If it feel like you're worried, it's a mistake.
I squeezed his hand, which was still covering my face.
Suddenly, Hildegart's words came to mind.
she always told me.
'Your mother is a cursed bitch. And so are you.'
Did she even kill my mother while saying that?
I squeezed his hand and gently removed it.
Finally, Hildegart began to be seen in front of me.
"Thank you for saying that."
I quietly reached out to Hildegart. And seeing only the whites of her eyes I closed them.
"Bye."
Hildegart is not completely dead.
But now I thought that I would never be able to face her completely.
