Chapter 35.2

the marquis of abina is approaching.

if you’re caught by the marquis abina, edith abina’s sanity will collapse.

unfortunately, what jian said was true.

jian’s eyes twinkled as if she noticed that i believed her words.

“i can stop the marquis from looking for the young lady.”

i pursed my lips at the darkness that settled in jian’s gentle eyes that shone through the cracks in the door.

“do you want to be captured and dragged into the room of punishment by the marquis?”

jian opened her mouth even before i could ask how she knew about the ‘room of punishment’.

“i have warping ability,” she quickly added, “i can move the young lady somewhere the marquis can’t find.”

marquis of abina is approaching.

marquis of abina is approaching.

the marquis of abina is very close.

marquis abina is getting close and edith abina’s sanity begins to collapse. status abnormality: shortness of breath

“oh, my!”

instinctively aware of the danger, edith’s body began to tremble. i glanced at the distorted window and opened the door.

tap tap!

quickly locking the door, i glared at jian who was lying on the floor, and spoke with twisted lips, “ha, conditions, ha haaa…”

adrian clung to me, seeing i was having a hard time breathing. to reassure him, i stroked his shaggy hair and continued speaking.

“there are conditions.”

“what conditions?”

“i don’t want to be warped with jian to the great temple.”

for some reason, jian tried to take me to the great temple and make me her maid. when i pointed out that part, she gently touched the drooping corners of her eyes and nodded.

“i won’t bring you to the great temple. i swear in the name of god.”

my eyes narrowed when the words, ‘i swear’ came out of her mouth. jian was a saint, and in this world, the oath made by a saint in the name of god had special restrictions.

in , the game would reset if the saint didn’t keep her oath to god’s name. in other words, she was going to die.

“…all right. then move me to a place where the marquis can’t find me.”

i stared at jian, who looked as if she was willing to die to gain my faith, and nodded. smiling and saying she was happy to help me, jian glanced at adrian, who was stuck to my legs like a giant cicada.

“who is that?”

i was worried that she’d recognize adrian, the crown prince, but she fortunately didn’t seem to know anything.

“i’ve just…”

i couldn’t answer her question as easily and licked my lips. how should i introduce him? pupp? slave? crown prince?

“oh, i see. it’s popular in the imperial capital these days. i don’t agree, but i’ll understand in particular this time.”

jian glanced at my troubled face and adrian, and she shrugged her shoulders.

“then should i move this person with you?”

“yes, please.”

at my words, jian slowly approached adrian. it was at that moment as she started to chant her spell when…

“argh!”

adrian but jian’s arm. no, biting didn’t even cover the real description of what he did. blood had literally splashed in front of my eyes.

“jian, jian!”

i was embarrassed by the blood everywhere and ran to jian. she sat on the floor holding her bleeding forearm, then looked back at me with tearful eyes.

“what’s going on?!”

“i’m sorry. he must’ve been frightened by your sudden approach.”

“you’re not a beast. how can you bite a person like that?”

i held adrian in my arms as he gritted his teeth at jian’s sharp cry.

“grrrrr…”

jian, slightly surprised by the brutal sound coming from his mouth, rolled her fist.

“just this once, i’ll forgive you for the young lady,” she said, trying to be brave.

you’re lying. you’re scared.

i nodded half-heartedly in sympathy with jian. then, as soon as she tried to appease the surprised adrian, someone started banging on the door, the clatter of armor audible.

“edith abina! edith abina are you here?”

the marquis’ knights have found me.

“hurry up and warp me.”

it was a pity i couldn’t make a nest when i just spent a thousand resos in this house, but i had no choice but to hurry jian, hugging adrian tightly.

“hurry up!”

the forceful knocks of the knights on the doors began to crack it. looking back at jian urgently with a white face, she finished her chant and put her hand on her head after finishing.

“warp!”

jump!

the door opened.

“edith…”

i stuck my tongue out, facing the face of the piggy marquis through the door.
