Chapter 262

“No.”

Bae Suzy shook her head.

“I wasn’t sure before, but now I am. Why did you save me? I had no value after being captured by Enroth. That was, no value in saving me by risking yourself. Was I not a bother?”

In fact, the lich had treated Bae Suzy as a burden. Yet, he saved Bae Suzy at the end.

Choosing to self destruct, he separated Enroth from Bae Suzy.

His gaze on Bae Suzy, for some reason, seemed urgent, sentimental, and longing.

Bae Suzy hasn’t even once forgotten that gaze even now.

“Who are you?”

“I’m a ghost. My master’s shadow. You do not need to be involved in the matter at hand. My master would not want that either.”

“Muyoung? He has never once told me to stop. Not even once.”

Muyoung was an excuse. When danger struck, facing it head on was who Muyoung was.

Muyoung was telling Bae Suzy to run?

Muyoung wasn’t someone who would talk that way without any reasonable explanation.

In one word…. It was an excuse. The lich was making an excuse.

“It’s been always that way since the beginning. Although I have never seen you, and that even you were a lich, my heart pounded. It wasn’t affection, but certainly it was something close, or maybe even a higher emotion than that, and it surprised me. It was always that way, no matter how you treated me, or distanced yourself from me. Who are you?”

Bae Suzy had a very complicated expression on her face.

It was the one question that she could never shake off.

It would be easier if it was affection. Just affection, that was.

However, I wasn’t. This pounding of her heart, it was a sense of longing, and poignancy.

Lich… Bae Seungmin was silent.

Wouldn’t even he want to reveal himself?

Would he not want to say that ‘You are my daughter’.

However, look at his appearance. There was no warmth in his body, he was dead! The ever so shabby looking self, without even a single piece of flesh on him!

“Leave. You… cannot stay in this war.”

Bae Seungmin grabbed his staff.

Shwwwwing!

Sharp wind has blown towards Bae Suzy like sharp saw teeth.

She tried to dodge it, but her shoulder has been penetrated through at once.

Plop!

“Wait, wait….”

Bae Suzy could not continue her words. She fell, losing her consciousness. Bae Seungmin looked upon the fallen Bae Suzy.

To prevent small bugs or other things from even approaching close, he has established a barrier, and even placed several magic spells, so that Bae Suzy’s body temperature would remain steady.

A month from now, Bae Suzy would be able to crack this barrier and come out of it herself.

“You… you have to live.”

As he had incorporated very strong sleep spell, she won’t be able to wake up for at least a month from now.

Bae Seungmin gazed on Bae Suzy for a while then turned away.

Much needed to be done.

It was exactly 3 days since Bae Seungmin had left.

Splash. Splash.

Someone approached with the sound of splashing water.

“What the heck, wasn’t it here? No one is here?”

A small fairy, riding a black horse, said in an angry tone.

Heeeeinng!

“Black horse, this is the right place? But, it isn’t here. Did you just lie to us?”

Heeeing!

“No? It’s here? Well, as far as we can tell, um… there is one girl here, I see. And strangely, my dear husband’s scent is here, too.”

Sniff, sniff!

Woohee, the fairy, approached the established barrier sniffing like a dog.

Although shielded within the barrier, she was clearly visible to the eyes of the Hell Horse and Woohee.

Then looking at Bae Suzy who was inside the barrier, they tilted their heads.

“I smell the scent of my dear husband from this girl. Could it be… an affair?”

Woohee, pouting her lips, closely examined Bae Suzy.

Muyoung’s scent was rather strong. It was so because Bae Suzy and Muyoung had once assimilated, but Woohee could not know that.

The reason even for the hell horse to have made a mistake was exactly because of that reason, too.
