As I stared at the wound, she laughed awkwardly .
“It’s bad, isn’t it?”
“…… . ”
Even though I didn’t cry, Lea left restlessly, saying she would bring medicine .
“Shall we continue with the class? This tower was built three hundred years ago by the Duke at the time to honor his ancestors . “
It was a strange-looking spire .
It wasn’t built for accommodation or any other purpose . It was just like a symbol .
There were only stairs inside, no rooms . There was only a beam of sunshine without even a lamp, maintained by mana .
“Wow!”
“Would you like to go up?”
“Yes!”
Seria chuckled as she glanced up the stairs .
“Why?”
“You remind me of my younger brother . ”
“Sewia must have been a good sistew . ” (Seria must have been a good sister . )
“I’m not . ”
“No . You awe” (No . You are)
I went up the stairs and looked at Seria .
“You kiwwed a nobleman fow him . ” (You killed a nobleman for him . )
“…… . . !”
Her face hardened .
Checkmate .
***
‘I just hoped it wasn’t you . ’
The evidence was the wound on her foot that had been caused by a fire .
I had seen it at the slave auction house . All the slaves had the same mark on their feet .
‘It was there on the foot of the man who tried to attack me . ’
Seria also got an accent .
The Noxstone accent .
“The dead nobleman was actually a slave trafficker . Seria, your area’s slaves were sold by that nobleman . ”
It was not common that a nobleman earned for the elderly and the weak .
She was a slave raised by the nobility, so Seria was able to break into the mansion by herself .
“How… . how can I do that… . ”
Seria, who was looking at me with trembling eyes, soon burst out laughing .
“I guess you heard about it from the duke . I didn’t think I could hide it for a long time either . I got caught sooner than I expected . ”
I rolled my eyes .
I’ve already prepared an excuse .
“That’s right . He deserved to die . ”
“…… . ”
“No one knew he was such a bastard, to even sell children as slaves . ”
Seria clenched her fist .
“The kids who didn’t know anything would have been waiting for him to save them even after they were sold . . . just like me . ”
“…… . . ”
“But I was lucky . I worked at his mansion . So I was sold out after my adolescence, and I realized more than other kids . That fucking man’s true nature . ”
Seria said she escaped with all her might . She went to the facility to save the other children, but many of them had already been sold .
“The children who are not suitable for sale are miserable . ”
I know you killed a nobleman .
‘But why did you have to come into Dubbled?’
Seria knelt before me .
“Little miss, a mere administrator like me can’t see the duke . Please help me see him!”
I said in a fit of surprise .
“If the dyuke finds out, you’ll die!”

Do you think a man without blood or tears will save her life because she had a miserable past?
“I have to find my brothers who have been sold . ”
“What?”
“I heard from another one of his subordinates . I don’t know why, but he definitely said he’d go into the Dubbled territory . ”
At that moment, many things came to my mind . The particular eyes that were looking at me, unusual fondness for children . A wound the length of one’s hand .
“Jacob… . . ”
It was when I muttered .
“How did you know?”
A voice came from beneath the stairs . It was when Seria suddenly raised her head . He jumped up in an instant and grabbed her by the neck .
“Ugh… . !”
Then, he dropped her down the stairs .
Dark red blood gathered around the Seria, which rolled down the high stairs . Jacob looked at me .
“Huh? How did you find out?”
I bit my lips tight .
This tower I was in now was far from the main castle . It was just a symbol, so it was an area where the knights didn’t patrol .
There were no other people . I needed room to talk to Seria, and I was sure she would never attack me .
Jacob approached slowly . “You’re not gonna tell me?”
I stumbled to the back as Jacob groaned .
“My customer told me not to break you, but to bring you there . ”
I glared at him as he muttered in a very sad tone .
”If you go back this time, they’ll kill you first . ”
But what was the best way to avoid a painful death?
Falling off the tower? Biting your tongue?
‘Sir, you have to die before you get caught . ’
It was clear that Jacob’s ’customer’ was a crazy pervert, so it was very dangerous for him to get caught .
‘It’ll be better for him to fall and die . ’
I rushed to the window but Jacob was faster . He grabbed me by the collar and said,

“It’d be fun to play with you . ”
It was then .
A familiar voice came in .
‘Lea!’
There was also Yuni behind her . I shouted hurriedly
“Run away!”
These two women can’t beat an adult man . Most of all, Jacob was experienced, judging by the way he handled Seria .
It’s worse if those two died together to protect me . But they didn’t move . As soon as I was about to yell again, Lea narrowed the distance between her and Jacob . Lea jumped and grabbed his shoulders .
She grabbed his neck swiftly and tightened her hold .
‘How… . !’
Jacob’s face was all red as if he could not breathe . As he slowly lost his strength, Lea threw him to the wall and he fell on the floor .
I was so shocked that I bumped my head to the wall and fell down .
“Little miss!”
Lea came running towards me .
“Are you okay? Sorry, it’s been so long since I made a mistake . ”
I stared at her in amazement
“Oh no, your forehead is red . ”
Yuni ran to where Jacob had fallen and asked him .
“Which organization are you from? Are you from Malta? Orca of Brown Wolf? If not, Karutano?”
The usually cheerful and lovely Yuni was very different today .
The names of drug gangs, human trafficking organizations, and assassins came out in a row, along with a quirky dialect . Then she grabbed him by the hair and smacked him down on the floor, and it seemed as if I had heard his head crack .
“Oh, yes, let’s take your intestines out . ”
Watching Jacob get beaten like a dog, I suddenly came to my senses .
“…… Lea, you’we not a maid?”
Lea quickly shook her hand .
“I’m a maid! I was just caught up in some stuff back then . ”
“Where?”

“Dubbled’s elite knight, for a while······ . “
Dubbled’s elite knights use Aura in battles . Rumor has it that more than 100,000 people have been mobilized to complete the battle in 15 days . She meant that Dubbled’s finest knight?
I swallowed as my mouth went dry and asked .
“Yuni too?”
“No . Yuni has a brief history of being in an organization before she entered the castle…… . ”
Then Yuni made an excuse out of embarrassment .
“I just did a small business in finance!”
If it was a financial business, was it a money lending business?
Yuni explained to me as both her hands shook while she was making excuses, and threw the confused Jacob aside .
“But I still have the least bounty among the maids who serve you!”
I realized I was overlooking one thing .
The Dubbleds were overlooking their employees’ identity and origin .
In other words, criminals may already be mixed up .
‘Oh, this must be why the Dubbleds territory was called the villainous lair . ’
I nodded blankly .
“I just preached God’s teaching . There are people in the world who need God’s guidance . ”
-said serial killer Dahlia, who had killed about a hundred rapists .
“My family had been poor since I was young, and we had never eaten good food . ”
These were the words of Linda, who had embezzled the annual budget of many landlords .
“Don’t be disappointed, little miss!”
“Now, we’re living a life of remorse!”
I nodded with dim eyes .
“It’s ok . ”
But the maids cried because they thought it was empty words .
‘It’s really okay’
Technically speaking, I was also a murderer before my return . Even though it was a false charge .
‘That’s not important now . ’
Lea came into the room with a stiff face .
“The master is looking for you . ”
