Tia held back her tears and confronted Harrison and John.

“Why, why did you just watch Sister Charlize die?”

Harrison and Johan, who were unfamiliar with Tia’s angry appearance, tried to make excuses, but words did not come out properly.

“Heuk, heuk!”

Tia cried, hugging Charlize’s cold body, which was not breathing.

“Sister. I want to say a lot of things to you…… You can’t die like this.”

Tia covered Charlize’s pale cheeks with tears dripping.

Harrison and John were surprised by Tia’s appearance.

Wasn’t it all because of her bad sister, Charlize, that Tia left home?

Why does Tia seem to care so much about Charlize?

The two men were confused.

Harrison and John, who had remained silent, asked Tia after a long hesitation.

“Tia. Don’t you hate Charlize?”

“……I don’t hate Sister. I like her. I…”

John tried to ask Tia more about what it meant, but Ellie held Tia’s arm.

“Lady Tia. You have to keep your promise. The red full moon hasn’t risen yet. You can’t run away, so please stay with me.”

Tia doubted her ears for a moment.

At Ellie’s words, which was almost similar to Charlize’s words, Tia turned her head with a stunned look.

“You say the same thing as Sister Charlize. How Strange.”

“Did Lady Charlize ever say the same thing as me?”

“Yes.”

“Lady Charlize was only thinking of herself until the end. I can’t believe she told you to stay with her instead of running away. Such a bad sister.”

“Sister is not bad. It is rather me who is bad.”

“Why? Lady Tia is a kindhearted and good-natured person.”

“Ellie. I am not a good person.”

“No. Lady Tia is much more beautiful and clean than Lady Charlize, who has a bad heart and only thinks of herself.”

“I just tried my best to look nice to people. I’m more selfish than Sister. I’m the only one who knows this.”

“Do you love Lady Charlize so much that you can say that?”

“Regardless of all love, that’s the truth.”

Tia rose from her seat with a look of desperation and was dragged helplessly by Ellie.

She felt guilty that her beloved sister died because of her escape.

“Tia, where are you going?”

“Tia. Are you going to run away again?”

Harrison and John saw Tia’s timid back and asked her belatedly.

Tia emerged from the shadows with Ellie, showing a willingness not to associate with those who stood by doing nothing when her sister died.

“……Tia.”

“Did Tia abandon us?”

Harrison and John shut their mouths, perhaps shocked by Tia’s heartlessness.

This is like a nightmare.

Tia, whom they met in a few months, remained calm until she left. They were foolish to think that she could not ignore them.

Recalling the time when she had saved them in the past, they were hoping to be saved by her again this time.

Like a fool.

Tuk.

Lua suddenly lost communication with Charlize.

He sensed something strange.

For months, he had never lost communication with Charlize.

Even when they came on this sick island, or when he was told to not be around, they didn’t lose communication.

A terrible premonition was engulfing his mind.

It couldn’t, it wouldn’t happen.

There’s no way that Charlize would disappear.

There must be an error in the contractor’s communication.

Lua denied the reality.

The loss of communication between the contractors meant that one side was dead.

Charlize, are you okay?

Lua broke Charlize’s order to wait for her call and sent a message to her through the contract communication in head.

But there was no return answer.

– Charlize, Charlize?

Lua closed his eyes tightly to Charlize’s communication, where silence flowed.

‘No, there is no way that Charlize will die. Charlize, you can’t leave me and die.’

Lua, who had already shared so much time with Charlize, and had a strange affection for her, was frustrated at Charlize’s unknown death.

Charlize.

Furthermore, Charlize’s location was unknown.

He had managed loosely to keep an eye on her for a moment, only to grasp that Charlize was on the North side of the island.

This is because he thought it would be okay.

Since the position was cut off in the North, he wanted to head there when Ian roughly grabbed Lua by the wrist.

“Father, the smell of a Dark Sorcerer is vibrating.”

“Dark Sorcerer? Oh.”

The smell of Dark Sorcerer was hovering in the air awkwardly.

Lua only smelled horrible and disgusting smells from the time he entered the island.

He only knew the smell of human patients.

Sealed in the underground prison of the Duke of Rebecca for a thousand years, he forgot the terrible smell of the Dark Sorcerer.

Unlike him, Ian did not forget the smell of the Dark Sorcerer because he was active among humans as a Demon Hunter.

“Is there any Dark Sorcerer still alive?”

“I heard rumors that there was one left. Rumor says it’s a woman. She’s the heir to a prestigious Dark Sorcerer organisation. I’ve also heard rumors that the woman is sacrificing humans to save her sister.”

“……If that’s true, isn’t Charlize in danger?”

“Yes, but there is a standard for Dark Sorcerers to make human sacrifices.”

“It has to be pure soul?”

“It’s almost the same. They sacrifice someone who is nice and has no evil energy at all. Father, I guess you can’t remember because it’s been more than a thousand years.”

“I’ve been imprisoned in the underground prison of that damn Duke’s basement for a thousand years, so it’s natural that my memory is blurred. Besides, I didn’t even think about going out. I thought I’d rot there all my life.”

“Charlize saved you?”

“That’s right. My contractor Charlize reached out to me. She is a human being, but she was not afraid of me at all.”

She was a strange human being.

That’s how affection rose in his heart as if he got a heart.

Lua left out the behind story and confessed her feelings for Charlize inside.

Lua had no choice but to hide his feelings more because of Charlize’s words of not to fall in love.

Because he couldn’t do that now.

Blood rose upside down at the thought of something happening to Charlize, whom he had affection for.

“I’m going to kill the remaining Dark Sorcerer. Ian, will you come with me?”

“Well. I’ll go because I have to drink Charlize’s blood and become a human.”

As if he couldn’t believe it, Lua looked at Ian with a pathetic look.

Ian, who was very tactless, did not feel Lua’s insignificant gaze.

“Let’s search all the places where Charlize might be.”

“I lost communication with her in the North. Perhaps we can search the neighborhood.”

“Yes.”

Ian also chased after Lua, who was in a hurry thinking that something happened to Charlize.

Tia was staring vacantly into the air.

Ellie was a little worried because Tia was acting like someone who lost her life doing nothing.

Is it because Tia looks like Lena?

For some reason, she couldn’t treat Tia recklessly.

Other offerings used to be blatantly ignored or threatened by her.

‘I can’t do anything about Lady Tia.’

“Lady Tia. What are you thinking about?”

Ellie killed Charlize, the person Tia loves and spoke to Tia with a brazen look.

Tia did not answer Ellie’s question.

“Lady Tia. Do you hate me now?”

Ellie took a deep breath and asked Tia a question once again.

Then Tia slowly turned her head and looked at Ellie.

Ellie trembled as she met Tia’s empty blue eyes for the first time.

Because she was seized with the unpleasant feeling of seeing her own sister Lena.


Lena once looked like Tia.

It was when she was at the verge of death because no one could cure her illness and prolonged her short life.



“Sister. I don’t have much time left. It’s so sad to leave you forever.”

“Lena. We’ll be together forever. You know it too.”

“Sorry Sister. We can’t be together forever. Sister, please face the reality.”



Lena’s old image of trying to let go of her life overlapped with Tia’s now.

Ellie shook her head slightly and denied the reality again.

‘Soon, Lena, I can be with you forever. I don’t have the damn excuse of a father or mother. There’s no one in the world who will bother you.’

Ellie tried to explain Tia.

“Lady Tia. I just killed Lady Charlize because she asked me to. I didn’t killed her because I had a grudge-“

“Shut up, Ellie.”

Tia opened her eyes wide and threatened Ellie without hiding her hostility.

Ellie gulped down her dry saliva at the threat of Tia.

She had never seen the friendly and kind Tia getting angry at her.
