Blitzen was truly relentless and disturbingly obsessed with Ivonne. However, when they did meet, it wasn’t as if he engaged in any constructive or useful conversation. His behavior was a constant irritation, leading Ivonne to the point where she was running away to avoid him.
Ivonne sighed in exasperation.
“No matter how skilled I am as an ancient wizard, I can’t create an illusory space to take a break.”
But perhaps her lament was so tiresome that Isaac’s brow twitched despite his usually warm and friendly demeanor. This was only a brief moment, and Ivonne, preoccupied with grumbling about Blitzen’s persistent stalking, didn’t notice it. It was a pity.
Thus, while Ivonne was searching for a way to avoid Blitzen, she unexpectedly encountered Isaac. The details of this meeting trace back to two days ago.
⚜ ⚜ ⚜
While the border with the Osbloom Kingdom was embroiled in war, the capital where the palace stood was remarkably serene. It seemed almost impossible to believe that somewhere, people were killing and dying in a world of conflict.
This contrast left Ivonne feeling a peculiar discomfort with the peace, and Blitzen’s constant presence did nothing to alleviate it.
“Ivonne! Come out here and talk to me!”
He showed up every day, but when she actually went out, there was rarely anything meaningful to discuss. This was one of Blitzen’s typical tactics as described in the original text: repeating what had been said before or using pointless chatter to distract and reveal the true intentions.
Though it was rather sneaky for a male lead, it was a clever strategy that required considerable intelligence to execute. Knowing this from the original story, Ivonne had been avoiding Blitzen as much as possible after their first encounter.
It was not merely a fear of trouble but a reluctance to deal with the messiness of the situation— a feeling she was quite familiar with.
‘But this should only happen once or twice.’
Blitzen’s continuous presence had already lasted five days, essentially tormenting Ivonne throughout the day. He somehow managed to appear wherever Ivonne went, even bribing innkeepers and checkpoint guards to report her whereabouts.
When he didn’t know her location, he would interrogate the townspeople as if hunting rats, which naturally led to Ivonne isolating herself in the Tens mansion.
‘Even if I lock the door, he can use magic tools to break in, the security force is biased towards the nobles, he tracks me using magical tools even if I use teleportation magic, and I can’t sleep deeply due to the barrier magic…’
Blitzen was clearly making things difficult for Ivonne now that Rix was away on his military assignment. Because of Blitzen, Ivonne had lost a significant amount of weight—4 kg in five days—due to stress and lack of appetite.
One particularly trying night, after these exhausting five days:
“…Senior?”
Isaac had arrived.
He appeared in Ivonne’s room, slipping in silently under the slanting moonlight. Ivonne was initially shocked beyond words.
‘Am I finally seeing ghosts now?’
That was genuinely her first thought. Or perhaps it was Celestia returning. It wasn’t until Isaac lowered himself and put his finger to his lips that she realized it was him.
“Shh, it’s me. Isaac. I rang the doorbell repeatedly but got no response, so I was worried and came in. Sorry about that. But what’s with Count Ulfest outside?”
The doorbell had long been cut off due to Blitzen, and Ivonne had thickened the barrier magic on the door to ensure no sound got through. Seeing Ivonne unharmed, Isaac’s face showed both relief and embarrassment.
But that was only for a moment.
“If you’re in a difficult situation, would you like to come with me? I know a quiet and safe place where I could pretend to be dead to avoid detection. I’ll explain more later.”
Isaac was ready to help Ivonne escape her troubles. Though Ivonne was taken aback by the sudden offer, one thing was clear.
“Yes. If it means escaping that persistent Blitzen.”
The ghost she thought was dead might be the lifeline to rescue her from Blitzen’s grasp.
Ivonne, with Isaac’s unexpected help, fled Blitzen and took refuge in a quiet rural farmhouse. Remarkably, it wasn’t even in the Sortenic Empire but rather in the distant island nation of Ortensia Republic.
“So, you were hiding out in a place like this?”
“Yeah, that’s right. Who would have imagined? That I, thought to be executed, would survive by setting up a scarecrow with magic and hiding out.”
It seemed that Isaac’s claim of having lived in this farmhouse was true, as there were signs of everyday life scattered around. After taking a look around the interior, Ivonne nodded.
“Definitely, Blitzen wouldn’t be able to find me here.”
“You mentioned that Blitzen tracks your whereabouts using magical tools, right? It’s creepy, but he’s really clever.”
“I didn’t know such a method existed at the time. That’s why I nearly fainted when he found me.”
“But now, it should be alright. Most magical tools like that have critical flaws. One of the main issues is that they need to store the unique magical energy of the person they’re trying to find.”
