Chapter 12 – Unfortunate Devil

The people at the palace laughed at Ronée.

“Slave ran away?”

“Even a slave couldn’t serve a person cursed by God!”

“Perhaps he didn’t want to be punished along… ”

Ronée didn’t respond to their jeers. Leaving would be a happy path for Nabel. When he left, she stared out of the window every night; perhaps she could figure out where he had gone. Why did the knights regard him like a thorn in their eyes? She pondered.

Under the window, where there wasn’t a single trace of Nabel, knights and servants gathered and chattered. Some went to pray.

Ronée was convinced that the mansion was cursed. She wondered if Nabel was somewhere outside, because he had a habit of listening to other people’s conversation. Eventually, her eyes fluttered close.

Bang! Ryne snapped the window shut, startling Ronée, who flinched. “Oh, I’m sorry.” Ryne gasped. She looked apologetic. Ronée laughed at her. “It’s alright.”

Fortunately, Ryne returned safely to Ronée’s side. To be precise, no one wanted to enshrine Ronée. She had to be kept alive until she went to the temple. At the end of the day, she would have to endure their scorn.

In her arms rested the fox, Bell.

“Take that demonic thing to the temple right now!” The Countess, who had seen Bell cried out, but Bell was stronger than she had assumed. She had attacked Bell restlessly with her evil magic until exhaustion took over her, but Bell endured to the end.

As Nabel had said, no magic worked on Bell, and there was no way for the knights to exercise their skills to the fox that swiftly dodged their swords like a breeze. Moreover, Bell had a special ability. Bell knew what Ronée wanted as if it could read her mind.

Like the first time when Ronée almost fell off the railing, the fox knew what Ronée wanted and saved her. When she did not want to fall off the railing, she would only make a wish not to fall. And when she asked Bell to protect Ryne, the fox wrapped up Ryne, who was almost drenched in scalding water.

It seemed there was no limit to the fox’s abilities.

“You have to kill that evil animal somehow!”
