Fake and Truth (5)

He shakes his body with a hateful face. Nox’s actions made her smile. She doesn’t understand him laughing at this situation, but he didn’t look good in that serious look.

“If I have to choose, you’re the one I like”.

“You don’t even know what you like.”

He, who didn’t even know how to feel, spoke out. He likes her because she’s a shell that can only imitate and she doesn’t have enough to love herself.

She turned her head with a sullen face. She was a person who had no more questions. She asked all three questions, so she couldn’t ask him even if she wanted to ask him more.

He won’t answer anyway.

“That’s too much. I still have something to do.”

Nox tilted his head to the side and slightly struck out his lips.

Where did he learn that from?… When she waved as if to tell him to hurry up and speak, he smiled and came close to him at once.

Now, she stared at Nox, who came close with a calm look, as if she had gotten used to this behavior. A slow finger brushed her face, stroked her neck, and soon lightly grabbed it.

“What are you going to do to stimulate Arthur now?”

“…….”

“I think Arthur is very confused because of the fake Mary you mentioned. Huh? Mary, tell me what you’re going to do next.”

She saw a flash of teeth in her eyes. A bit of strength entered Nox’s hand, which gripped her neck with mad excitement. She kept her mouth shut, leaving her body in his hands.

The tightened neck was suffocating, but she did not move. It was Nox who enjoyed the more she reacted.

Asking what he would do next, he looked at her mouth that did not open and his mouth seemed to be irritated.

“Mary, do as you do now”.

“What are you talking about?”

“Because the harder you struggle, the harder it must be for Arthur. One thing to tell you is that he’s giving you more than you think.”

“Why are you telling me that?”

He leaked information to her at no cost.

He kept telling stories that she doesn’t know the answer to as if he wanted her to notice something quickly.

“You’re not the only one who doesn’t have time.”

Nox’s hand let go of her neck. It became easier to breathe, and she felt pain in her neck. His eyes curved along the line.

Tick-tock, tick-tock.

Nox moved his fingers, making the sound of a clock, and giggled as he turned away from her. She looked at the door again, went to the bed, lay down and looked at him.

“Isn’t this village weird? This castle, this land, everything.”

“You know you’re the weirdest thing here, right?”

“Mary, this place looks like me.”

She closed her eyes and couldn’t move for a while, perhaps lost in thought. Today, Nox’s strange behavior made her forehead distort.

She didn’t call him to do this.

She called him to ask the remaining questions and solve what she was curious about, but she didn’t take the time to hear strange sounds throughout.

“Are you going?”

“It’s so cold. Can’t I stay here tonight?”

“Yes, you can’t.”

Nox stared at her sadly when she refused at once.

Anyone else will be fooled by acting, but it doesn’t work for her to know who he is.

“I’ll really just sleep and go.”

“Should I just call Arthur? How about saying that we had secret meetings every night in my room?”

“Secret meeting. It’s quite provocative.”

A low-lying insidious voice has seduced her. The shape of tapping the bed was openly revealing what was inside.

“Isn’t there anything to see at the castle today?”

“I’m here to see you. Mary, you called me.”

“In that secret room. I guess you’re not going today”.

Nox lifted himself out of bed when he heard about the secret room. Looking at the time, he got up from his seat and approached the door.

“Are you curious?”

“Are you going to tell me if I’m curious?”

“You might regret it if you see it.”

“Why would I?”

“Because it’s related to you.”

Nox recited it quietly and smiled lightly.

As he said, she may really regret it. But she was curious. She wanted to know what was going on in this castle and what it had to do with her.

“I have no regrets.”

“Really?”

He asked her again, as if checking. She nodded slowly.

She was shouting not to follow him in her heart, but curiosity suppressed reason.

What on earth is he and Arthur hiding?

“Well, this sounds fun, too.”

At the same time as he said that, he opened the door and put Carl to sleep lightly. She was frozen by what happened in an instant and just watched what he was doing.

“Did you kill him?”

“No way. I don’t enjoy killing.”

Don’t people usually say they don’t kill? He waved as if not to worry, saying he didn’t enjoy it.

Nox slightly nodded toward her and waited for her to come out.

“I just put him to sleep for a while.”

“Did you put everyone to sleep like this?”

“No. Are you bothered by it?”

“Of course?”

Why is he looking at her funny?

He bobbed a finger and proudly advanced into the hallway. It was a walk without hesitation, as if there was no one to disturb him. She slowly followed behind him, walking ahead. It was silent, as if everyone had promised. No one was walking around outside, so nothing stopped Nox.

The place she went with Nox to was in front of the tightly locked room.

“You’re not going to run away now, are you?”

“Of course.”

Her mouth was burning without realizing it. She swallowed his dry saliva and calmly gulped his head. When she faced him, her heart began to beat hard.
