Chapter 75

Somehow, he was happy even though he was caught.

Love seemed to have sprinkled sweeteners on all his actions. Though, it was good to have such interactions alike.

“Let’s just….. ignore that fortune-teller. I doubt anything he said is plausible.”

At the same time, he realized that his fingers were touching Laritte.

If we can’t stay together, how far should we be?

“What you’re thinking now, you will tell me later, right?” asked Laritte.

She believed Ian wouldn’t hide it. They trusted each other so much. Laritte was surprised even when he said that he couldn’t trust anyone like he trusted her.

Ian nodded, “…..Yes, of course, I would tell you.”

Nothing would happen even if we stay together.

He wanted to believe that. After all, she was his first love.

‘If us staying together is the cause, then why is it that only Laritte gets hurt? It’s annoying.’

However, he did not intend to ignore the fortune-teller’s advice.

He must find out the identity of the grass the Empress burned and deliver it to the Crown Prince.

However, if this decision made an exquisite change, Ian…….

He closed his eyes tightly.

He couldn’t decide what he would do after that.

Seta was again at the highest peak of the castle.

“Is it tomorrow?”

The day ‘it’ was arriving was just around the corner.

“I was right. The two humans shouldn’t be together.”

A rogue dragon that had disappeared from the Magee Plateau was headed towards the castle. Mana was doing its job to separate Ian and Laritte.

Usually, Seta was required to escape to another place. It would be annoying if he had a great influence on the human world.

However, he decided to wait because the most dangerous thing was coming tomorrow for Laritte.

‘If she dies, I can’t imitate her face in its vivid state.’

I have to help them defeat it and collect the human face for my rare treasures!

Seta clenched his fists.
