Chapter 197 - Something Belongs to The First Master (1/2)

(Jane's PoV)

”Jane Harris, you don't believe me?”

Hmph! How many times did he practice that feeling wronged expression to be this good? I bet he must have done it, tricking other people to believe that he was really feeling guilty. But, I wasn't that stupid!

How could a devil feel guilty to the point he could make that wronged expression?

It must have been in his trait, a perfect actor to fool humans.

”Fine. If you don't trust me, then I'll go. But, please, consider entering that hut. You might find it useful for you. After all, no one can take it out unless it is the master of White Army.” The Devil stepped backward while trying to smile, but I could still see the hurt in his eyes.

I blinked my eyes, and he disappeared. How could I know he was saying the truth? He was a Devil, after all. Devils tell lies to human.

But…

I took a look at the hut and sighed. There was something that attracted me to get inside, indeed. I didn't know whether it was my own curiosity since I liked this kind of place so much, or it was because something inside was calling for me, but I knew for sure that I wanted to go inside.

”Siji!” I shouted loudly. I needed to inform him so that he knew where I went.

As expected, he appeared in a flash, only this time he appeared on the side of the pond. He was frowning as he looked at the bridge and me repeatedly.

”I'm going there!” I shouted at him.

The frown on his face was getting deeper. ”Milady, I don't think… that's a good idea.” He said hesitantly.

”I know. The devil was here just now, and he told me that I should go inside. There is something inside that might be useful for me.” I rolled my eyes, mostly at myself. Why would I use his words as if I believed him?

”Why don't you come with me?” I asked Siji. If he were so worried about me, why didn't he just follow me in?

It was surprising that he didn't reply it right away. He was still pondering but his eyes flickered here and there, as if he was searching something.

”Sure, Milady, but there's a tiny issue that I think you should know.” He said carefully before he lifted his eyes and looked at me.

”What is it?”

”I couldn't find the bridge that you're stepping on.” He said.

”What are you talking about? It's right there in front of you.” I pointed at his feet. He could just step on it and he would be on his way to meet me, but why did he say that he couldn't see it?

Even the Devil could step on it, why couldn't he?

”I couldn't see anything, Milady. There's no bridge here.” To prove that he was saying the truth, he put his foot forward, stepped onto the bridge, but to my surprise, his foot went through it!

My eyes widened. What the hell happened?

”Siji, just wait there, then.” I put my hand on my forehead, massaging it lightly since it started to feel a bit stuffy in my head.

”Milady!” Siji shouted, but I didn't turn back. Hardened my heart, I stepped towards the isolated island with one thing in mind; I needed to get inside the hut.

Cool wind breeze hit my face softly as soon as I stepped on the small island. Instinctively, I took a deep breath. The hut in front of me looked even more appealing now that I looked at it closely. The atmosphere was calm and cool. It was so nice to stay here for a couple of days, far from the crowded and noises of the world outside.

”Excuse me.” I greeted in front of the door, but no one answered. I remembered what the Devil told me and pushed open the door.

There was a warm light emitted from the small fire in the middle of the room. The fire was big enough to keep the room warm and at the same time provided the right amount of lighting in the house. On the furthest end of the room was a door. I stepped inside and walked into that door slowly.
