章節 27: Corpses [Part 6]

When she was analyzing the current clues about the death of Lady Elmira, they found another corpse.

Rosella moved faster; a shadow knight led her to a hidden part of the woods facing the south of the Cullen Kingdom's Castle.

As soon as Rosella entered the door, what she sees is a low wooden chair with crappy legs. They stacked a small rectangular wooden board with a few stones, which becomes a table. On the table are two tea sets with cold tea.

Behind the table, there is a single bed about one meter wide, which is just built with several wooden boards of different lengths. The pillow is made of some hay and a piece of yellow and old cloth to form a pillow, and it is placed in the corner. Inside was an old, yellow quilt with white stains all over it.

A white silk quilt covers a part of the bed. Under it, a bulge shape stands out.

Rubbing the space between her eyebrows, Rosella did not want to know what was going on…

On the right side of the bed, there is a small door, and entering through the small door is the stove. Such a simple room that can no longer be leaked, and a living product that can no longer be broken. The stove must be no better, but the stove is brand new.

There is no dust, only old furniture. And everything but the bed is 'clean'.

When Rosella came in, every maid and knight went outside. Only leaving Lilith, Nana, and a tall and tanned black-haired knight wearing black and silver armor, in the center of his chest plate was the head of a wolf with a crown. Showing his relationship with the Third Princess.

"Luis, remove the quilt." Ordered Rosella to the tanned, black-haired knight.

"Yes, Princess."

Luis removed the white silk quilt and what was under it stunned the four of them. As the only man present, Luke avoided the sight in front of him. He did not blush or anything, but his heart is full of disdain and disgust. However, his years of training didn't allow him to show his emotions on his face.

Rosella could not believe what was in front of her.

The most troublesome thing is that the corpse is a maid. But not any maid, Lady Elmira's personal maid, to be exact.

But the outrageous thing is…

They found her on the bed, naked, and her legs were wide open. The most disgusting thing is… her face, breasts, waist, and a white substance covered her legs. Even Rosella, who is ignorant of this kind of thing, could understand what it was…

Frowning, Rosella did not want to continue looking, but something caught her attention.

The maid's eyes.

"Turn her head," Rosella ordered Nina, who was closer to the head.

Disbelief, it's what they saw in her lifeless eyes. And a tear from the corner of her eyes.

"Her killer is a person she knew. A man who had this kind of immoral relationship with her. And to find this place, either of them knew it or someone told them." Rosella's line of thought is so close to the truth.

While Rosella is inspecting the corpse on the outskirts of the south woodland.

A man covered in tattered clothes was driving a carriage at full speed. He was hitting the horse's ass making them speed up. The man looked at the carriage at his back slightly.

This is the first time he saw his master behaving that way.

A black-haired man was sitting inside the carriage. His messy clothes made it seem that he had a rough night and the sweat on his forehead announced how tired he is now.

With his eyes closed, he was murmuring as if he was chanting mantras, just to focus on the road. But it was so easily said than done. He almost loses control of his emotions. He felt his lower body stiffen and hardened at every second.

His mind is so chaotic that scenes from last night appear in his mind.

The woman under him was moaning, screaming in pleasure. He was having a good time, he thought his mind was playing tricks on him, and his yearning turned into an illusion. But he let it flow. He knew someone drugged him, but he could not stop himself.

He did not know how many times he relieved himself, but his desire keeps growing and growing. Until…

The same moaning voice screamed his name as if she knew him very well. But the woman in his dreams, the one he yearns for, doesn't know his name. So, at that moment, he woke up from his illusion.

The moment he saw an unknown woman under him, filled with his substance, his white substance, he fell into a trance.

His heart broke. Disbelief, anger, disappointment, and overall… heartbroken.

He sullied his body with an unknown woman; he found her familiar, but… he doesn't remember where he had seen her…

Using a spell on her, he let her die. No one needs to know what he did with that thatched place.

He uses his last shred of energy to put on his clothes and send a calling spell to his driver to pick him up.

He's under some kind of [Illusion Spell] and [Drain Energy Spell]. Furthermore, he had to get out of that place.

Waiting a few moments, the driver reached the place, casting a spell on the carriage, not leaving marks on the road.

And a few minutes later, a shadow knight showed up at the door of that place. Finding the maid's corpse.

The black-haired man was sweating profoundly. His bloodless lips and pale face were like seeing a moving corpse.

'I sullied my body. My Goddess would not like me anymore…' this thought made him bite his lips, but what came out was not red blood, but a black and rotten liquid.

Discovering the liquid, he knew the spell woke up the poison in his body.

"Dive faster. Reach the border and find an empty space. Send a signal spell on them and while you wait for them, use the container spell to seal my body." The sonorous voice of the black-haired man was pleasant to the ears, but it did not give justice to his current appearance and his deathly aura.

"Yes, Master." Hastily answered the driver.

~HIA!

The reins keep hitting the horses, and the speed keeps increasing. The horses were breathing hurriedly. Until they reached the Cullen Kingdom's southern borders.
