Chapter 3.2 (1/2)

“Excuse me! Please release me! It’s not me! I think you have mistaken me!”

“Noisy.”

As she screamed loudly with whatever stamina she had acquired from all that eating, she heard another person’s voice. It was a raspy voice which echoed in the empty dungeon making it more creepy. Luana scratched her forearm without realizing it.

The Duke looked at her with contempt. ‘But why is your face like that?’ Luana, who was struggling, inwardly shouted while scratching her forearm.

“No!”

She tried to explain it in a hurry, but it didn’t seem to make sense.

“Really, well..want… wash myself.. really!”

“Shut up!”

The knight next to him made Luana shut up instead of the Duke. It was the Knight named Rugard who first brought Luana. She was a little relieved that she at least knew him a little.

“You’re mistaken! This is not my place!”

“Yes, you’re at the right place.”

“That’s not true!”

“Yes it is.”

“No!”

“Yes, it is!”

As Rugard and Luana were fighting on who was right or wrong, the Duke became annoyed and intervened.

“What are you doing now?”

Rugard, who had come to his senses too late, quickly shut his mouth. But Luana kept on talking.

“You’re not right at all. Why should I be stuck here?”

“That’s because you’re a witch.”

The answer was given by the Duke instead of Rugard.

“What?”

Luana looked at the Duke with a sympathetic look on her face. No, there were no witches in the world these days. It had been a while since their families had been wiped out.

[T/N: In the raws, the korean idiom dry off seeds was used. It means to remove all of something leaving nothing. It just sounded weird here, that’s why we edited it out.]

“You look upset.”

The Duke expressed his displeasure.

“No, well, do you still have witches these days?”

“Here you are.”

“Not me. I don’t have a broom and I can’t fly.”

“Why does a witch need to fly?”

“Oh, don’t they fly?”

“No matter how much power they get from the devil’s contract, their essence is still human. They can’t fly.”

‘How do you know so much about them in such details?’ Luana endured what she wanted to shout out and swallowed up her grievances.

“I have been searching for a witch for a very long time, but this is the first time I have found one. There are so many things I want to ask you.”
