Episode 119
Everyone couldnât talk to me for a while.
The majority looked doubtful whether they could really believe me.
âYerine, have you met her before?â
Erica still asked with a suspicious look.
âYes, she helped me before.â
âBefore?â
Rachel and Astra released the magic and asked back.
The white woman nodded with a calm smile without a word.
I could see the left eye wrapped gently behind the white veil.
Well, she didnât help me. She helped Yerine.
But I could be sure that she didnât mean to hurt us.
When asked why I couldnât answer correctly.
But the voice I heard earlier was definitely the same as what I heard in my dream.
The voice of the person who looked the same as the one who said she would help my mother and me.
âI understand the confusion. But itâs okay to be relieved.â
The woman said, blinking her white eyelashes as if snowflakes had fallen.
âThose who chase you canât come all the way here.â
âWhat do you mean he canât come all the way here?â
Eugene grabbed wrinkles in the forehead and shouted.
He was always ready to shoot magic.
However, the flash did not rise from his fingertips.
For now, there was no intention of attacking.
âNormal people canât get in here. Itâs a place that doesnât exist in the human world.â
The womanâs voice echoed softly.
After hearing her words, Cassius looked at me with an incredible face and asked.
âYerine, how the hell did you get here?â
âUhâ¦â¦ I actually didnât know this place was like that.â
The woman who listened to our conversation quietly smiled and opened her mouth.
âIt would be better to go inside and talk.â
She looked back and talked with her head up.
Her white hair fluttered in the gentle breeze.
Despite the urgent situation where I was in a place I didnât even know where I was, I looked at her beautiful appearance.
As soon as I bumped into her red eyes, I was wide awake.
âWe donât have much time, but we have that much time to spare. Come with me, everyone.â
A peaceful voice, neither high nor low, rang out.

âWhere am Iâ¦â¦.â
As soon as Rayl opened his mouth, Eugene pointed to him with the tip of his chin.
âYerine, is that enough chain?â
âMaybe. Iâve put some resistance on him, so he canât use magic.â
A dragon was sitting next to him that seemed very strong, but he was still nervous.
However, the actions had taken as much action as they could.
âI think itâs gonna be okay. Looking at it now, I think we can control Raylâs mana by Yerineâs chain.â
As soon as Cassius finished, Rayl, who had fully come to his senses, began to look around with a puzzled look.
âYou, you, howâ¦â¦.â
Soon he found a chain wrapped around his body and began to struggle.
âNo use, Rayl.â
Looking at him like that, Cassius muttered in a low voice.
âCassius, do you see Rayl mana? Did it increase?â
Cassius stared at him still, frowned and replied.
âItâs definitely increased. But it doesnât matter because itâs not strong enough for Yerine.â
Then he looked at the Rayls with cold eyes and asked.
âYouâve got other peopleâs mana from him, havenât you?â
At Cassiusâs words, Rayl said with a despondent smile.
âI got it. It was almost half-forced.â
Then he looked around us with his half-open drowsy green eyes.
âGuys, where are we?â
âYou donât have to know. Just know itâs a place where the princeâs company will never come after.â
Rayl smiled helplessly at Eugeneâs reply.
âThatâs rather good.â
Between the dried blood and the green hair ruined by dust, his eyes that seemed to have been embedded with emeralds were dimly lit.
âYes, if youâre free to tie me up, it means this is a safe place.â
Rayl, who stopped talking for a while, moistening his dry lips with saliva, then added.
âFor the time being.â
âItâs no use threatening.â
Erica frowned and replied in a stiff voice.
âItâs not a threat. There will be very little that the prince in his present state cannot do.â
Raylâs voice was very subdued.
âHeâs killed so many people that you canât imagine, and heâs absorbed all their mana.â
âThatâs enough. I already know that. Even if you donât tell me, I know it so well that itâs boring.â
I held my eyes on Rayl with my right hand on my forehead.
âThatâs not what I want to know.â
âThen what do you want to know, Yerine?â
I was a little annoyed.
So I answered back with a hard voice without a buzzer.
I turned my eyes on him like a red flame.
âYou havenât answered my question yet.â
Perhaps slightly surprised, Raylâs eyes grew for a while and returned to their original size.
âThatâs right, I asked you earlier.â
I said, sweeping my hair with my hands.
âHow did that happen?â
Rayl tried to say something, but he shut up in the middle.
He opened his mouth to speak out a few times, but his voice did not come out.
I feel bitter in the words that came out after several attempts and a few minutes of thought.
âYerine, you donât have to look for a reason. Iâm just a bad guy, a bad guy who betrayed you.â
He continued, rolling his green eyes.
âYou donât have to understand why I did that.â
âJust tell me. Iâm going to get dizzy because Iâm curious.â
I breathed a small sigh and urged him.
Nevertheless, Rayls did not open his mouth easily.
âRayl Diamond.â
Astraâs voice came from behind.
Her face was more determined than ever.
But her expression was far from threatening or hostile.
âThereâs one thing youâre mistaken about.â
Rayl slowly raised their heads to her voice.
âWe wonât forgive you just because you explain why you became the traitor.â
There was no shaking in her eyes that looked like a blue sky.
âBut because of your personality, I donât think you would have approached the prince for mana, and Iâm asking because I think there must have been some other reason.â
After hearing Astraâs words, I nodded.
I didnât know Rayl as long as Astra did, but I knew he wouldnât have liked to gather mana even by hurting others.
Although he could deceive his nature, Rayl was too transparent a human being to deceive his self.
âIâm just upset that you donât tell me why. Donât get me wrong.â
Still listening to her story, Rayl nodded slowly.
âYeah. I donât think thatâs a problem.â
His look on his face, saying that, seemed like a man who let go of everything.
âI did it because of my brothers.â
A calm voice came out between the dry and cracked lips.
âHe took all my brothers.â
In an instant, the surrounding air sank heavily.
