Episode 81

“What’s your name?”

“Ye, Yerine.”

“I see.”

A boy with golden eyes resembling the sun said with a stony smile.

“My name is Cassius.”

I thought it was a good name.

“Why are you covering one of your eyes?”

The boy asked in a clear voice.

At his words, gently pressing my ankles neatly together, I said.

“……it’s ugly.”

I heard the maids whispering.

They said the Duke’s daughter looked different from others.

Unlike her father, who was born with fine eyes, she has creepy red eyes.

“It feels a little reluctant to see it.”

The maid who said that no longer stayed in my house.

Because she was fired after my father heard that she was talking about my appearance.

But to this day, her voice still vividly pressed against my ears.

‘And because I don’t want to hurt anyone.’

How many people have been hurt by these eyes?

Not only did my father and mother get small burns, but I also got big and small wounds.

With my head down, I looked only at the ground.

Long bangs pierced my eyes.

It didn’t matter, though.

“But isn’t it frustrating?”

“It’s bearable.”

“But, ah, are you worried that I might say it’s ugly?”

At first, I covered my eyes to prevent the use of magic.

‘Isn’t it natural to worry about that?’

But by the time I found out that I was different from others, I was afraid of their chattering.

“You don’t have to cover it in front of me.”

Cassius said, tilting his head.

“I won’t say it’s ugly, so it’s okay, Yerine.”

Cassius clenched his fists in both hands and said in a steady voice.

“No, I said no.”

I turned my head to the side and snapped back. I’m sure he’ll say it’s creepy when he sees my eyes.

“Wait, excuse me, but let me–”

For more,

“Pretty…”.”

I didn’t know what he was talking about.

But somehow, I felt like crying.

“I’m sorry, Mom, Dad.”

I swept the bangs that were covering my left eye to the sideways.

In front of my eyes was a large, huge winged snake flapping its tongue.

It was Caracas, famous for its ferocious poison.

“Ye, Yerine, run!”

Cassius pulled the sleeves of my right arm and shouted with a tear-stained face.

But I couldn’t.

If he runs away like this, he will die with a leg injury.

I pulled my sleeve out of Cassius’s desperate grip on me.

And with flame magic in both hands, with vertically torn yellow pupils,

I went towards the snake looking at me.

Then my left eye was getting hot.
