“I’ll go up to my room for now.”
“Oh, sure. Must have been a shock. Take a shower and rest well. You can even take a nap if you want.”
“Yeah, take a nap. Let your body warm up. I’ll wake you up for the barbecue party later.”
Ivonne climbed the stairs amid the concerns and relief of the people. However, she felt a sense of discomfort and tilted her head.
“But isn’t the number of people a bit lacking?”
“Oh, suddenly, three male employees returned to the capital following an order from the Crown Prince. But we haven’t heard from them since.”
“Oh, really? That’s a shame.”
Ivonne casually responded and went up to her room. The fact that the three male employees paid for their crime with their lives, for secretly photographing Ivonne’s legs was still unknown to anyone.
Entering the room and sitting on the soft bed, Ivonne shuddered.
‘How dare they try to kill me?’
Although she pretended to be unaffected in front of people, inside, Ivonne’s emotions were boiling like water poured into a hot oil pot.
Ivonne gritted her teeth.
‘Not satisfied with using poison against me?’
The fierce image of a woman came to her mind. The one who made Ivonne smell a pungent odor and drifted into the sea was a handsome man with blond hair and clear eyes. However, Ivonne didn’t doubt that the person she thought of was the culprit.
The woman symbolizes nobility with dark royal green hair, eyes as black as precious black pearls, and a beautiful yet sharp eye shape. A woman who had poisoned Ivonne and proudly wore the necklace that Ivonne cherished around her neck without shame.
The one Ivonne accused as the culprit was none other than the villainess of this world, Celestia Odelle Cyand. A chilling smile crossed Ivonne’s face, which had been blazing with intense anger.
“But Celestia, it seems you still don’t know everything about Blitzen.”
Yucorallni Island is known as the empire’s finest resort. Everyone wishes to spend their vacation here at least once. However, Blitzen never visited Yucoralini Island with Ivonne in the original story.
The reason was simple.
‘He experienced severe humiliation here when he was young.’
Before meeting Ivonne, Blitzen had traveled to Yucoralini Island with several allied families for the sake of reconciliation between noble families.
At that time, he fell into a trap set by his distant relatives, revealing to everyone present that he couldn’t use magic. Since magical abilities were a measure of power, being surpassed by the relatives of the opposing family, even as the sole heir to the future Count Ulfest, was a significant weakness.
In the end, the former Count Ulfest and his wife had to write a contract transferring several territories and mines to prevent this fact from spreading. Despite that, due to the mocking gazes of the Blitzen’s relatives and the members of the allied family, he avoided social gatherings for a while.
For Blitzen, who had refrained from coming anywhere near Yucoralini Island due to the trauma left from his parents that day, suddenly appearing here was unbelievable.
‘It doesn’t make sense.’
Moreover, even if Ivonne was caught off guard, it was suspicious that no one saw the person who pushed someone in broad daylight.
‘I was thrown into the sea, and the culprit immediately used teleportation magic. However, Blitzen doesn’t know how to use teleportation magic, so the culprit can’t be Blitzen.’
Not sensing any presence until suddenly feeling the urge to survive indicated that the person appeared using teleportation magic. However, the conviction that Celestia was the culprit wasn’t solely based on this.
“In the original story, Celestia is the only one who mastered ‘disguise magic.'”
Marquis Cyand family was highly renowned for their expertise in magical potions, with the most famous being the ‘Disgua Juice.’ However, this potion had a critical flaw – once consumed to change one’s appearance, the person would lose the ability to use magic.
‘Even if she drank the Disga Juice to transform into Blitzen, she wouldn’t be able to use teleportation magic.’
In contrast, disguise magic was different.
In the novel ‘<Childhood Husband>’, Celestia was the only one who mastered disguise magic, allowing her to use magic even after changing her appearance. This meant that only Celestia could use teleportation magic wearing Blitzen’s guide.
Furthermore, Celestia had previously attempted to harm Ivonne by transforming into Blitzen in the original story, though she didn’t have the potion at that time.
However, there was one problem – why did Celestia attack Ivonne?
‘Is it retaliation for the embarrassment in front of the bakery?’
No, that couldn’t be the reason. At that time, Ivonne had cast powerful magic to manipulate time. Though the range might not have been precisely set, it was highly unlikely that Celestia, who was near Ivonne, wouldn’t have been affected by the spell.
‘The question is, why did Celestia attack me? Why did she choose to attack me here?’
