There Are Too Many Background Settings in the Possessed Novel

chapter 7



Silver Forest (1)

The disappearance of Nias was the biggest problem in my life at the age of 8.

Even in my previous life, it was as shocking as getting into a car accident.

Of course it meant that everything I was planning went wrong.

Plus, if something goes wrong with Nias… it will be more than that.

Everything in this world would be distorted.

Nias is the dark side of this novel.

When she starts causing incidents, everything goes as it should.

And Nias going wrong… I don’t want that either.

Snow was piled up in the garden.

Even with my boots on, my feet were almost completely buried.

Hans, the gardener, was arranging the snow-covered garden trees when he saw me walking away, blinding himself, wide-eyed.

All the employees in the castle knew that I was sick and didn’t come out of my room.

“Ah, Hans. I want to ask you something, did you see Nias go outside?”

My question seemed to remind Hans.

“I was working at dawn, and Nias passed by. I wondered if he was going out on an errand, so I just watched him. He seemed very anxious, so I wondered if he was scolded again.”

From the testimony of Hans the gardener, I learned that Nias had left the castle on her own.

But I got scolded again.

It bothered me a little that rumors about Nias being strict with her were spreading.

‘As expected, rumors spread.’

It’s a part that can’t be helped, but I need to do some reputation work.

I said with a grin.

“thank you. Hans. Work hard.”

“Yes…? Ah yes! Bocchan, thank you!”

Hans seemed surprised for a moment at my laughter, but then replied energetically.

I let out a sigh because it was clear that the momentary gap was ‘why is this boy doing this?’

Holy sh*t, after all, people don’t do things they shouldn’t do.

If I stay in a cold place, I thought the alarm would go off in a row, so I returned to my room.

Returning to the room, I paced the room anxiously.

Nias went out on her own.

I was just glad I didn’t know that.

‘Did you leave because you didn’t want me to bully you?’

There is a possibility.

That she couldn’t accept herself changing, gave up killing me and ran away on her own.

But somehow, that’s weird.

Nias was deliberately leaving traces of herself.

It wasn’t a coincidence that he showed up to Hans, it must have been on purpose.

‘no way…’

One thought struck me, and I turned on the store to check.

“shop.”

There are so many items, it’s hard to figure out what they all are, and I found what I had to find.

I bought the clairvoyant directly for Nias.

Immediately, glasses fell from the sky.

‘Is this a clairvoyant…’

I took a little look at the glasses I picked up, but they were just rimless glasses.

Still, the performance will be sure.

Then, I saw Nias walking through the snowy forest with the mat I gave her the other day wrapped around her shoulder.

The only forest in this area that Nias could walk on his own in half a day was the Iserk Forest near the castle.

‘As expected.’

Nias was trying to summon me to Iserk Forest.

I don’t know why, but he seemed to think that I would definitely find him.

And why are you trying to lure me into the forest…

Of course, to kill me.

That too for sure.

At the beginning of the novel, Iserk Forest was the place where the main character and his group passed by as they were about to leave for the academy.

And deep in that forest, a high-ranking witch was hiding.

Even after being reincarnated, Nias is a demon lord.

The fact that their souls are the same means that they can subjugate monsters.

If I follow him into the forest, he intends to kill me by ordering a monster.

However, there was something that even Nias didn’t realize.

The moment Nias gave up his position as the Demon King and decided to reincarnate, some powerful monsters chose the path of independence.

The destructive monster in that forest, ‘Cluark’.

Cluark was one of those monsters who chose the path of independence.

This was the reason why the main character and Nias were attacked by the monster on their way to the academy and were in danger of death.

‘damn…’

I don’t know how Nias thought I would come after him.

However, one thing is for sure, Nias’s plan worked exquisitely.

‘Why did you think that?’

I thought about Nias’s accident for a moment…I came to a conclusion.

‘Do you know that you are very important to me? To the extent that he will surely find himself?’

While I was thinking, a system window came to my mind.

Tring!

[Clairsight’s duration has run out.]

I think about 3 minutes passed, but the glasses on my eyes disappeared like snow melting.

It’s not even salt, it’s really salty.

I put on the thick coat I had worn earlier in the garden, brushed the snow off my boots, and put them back on.

Outside, the snowflakes that had calmed down earlier were blowing again.

Judging by the momentum, the blizzard seemed to be much stronger soon.

Then, someone knocked on the door.

When he opened the door, he saw YuRia, who was holding her hands together and fidgeting nervously.

I couldn’t figure out why Yuria had to come to my room.

Maybe you want revenge?

I opened my mouth slightly cautiously.

“Something? The magic must have returned?”

Without answering my question, Yuria grabbed my shoulder and pushed me into the room. YuRia said nervously to me who had been pushed inside.

“You, you… speak straight.”

“What?”

Looking at YuRia, I narrowed my brows.

“Don’t pretend you don’t know! That, I mean…that! you know! Should I tell you myself?”

“no. I do not know. Let me know.”

“Oh, I don’t know! I, I… can’t live without you for the rest of my life!”

“…yes?”

What embarrassing… Ah.

“Are you talking about magic?”

At my words, Yuria quickly nodded twice.

“Yes, that! Yes… If you don’t give me magic, I’m… just like that. If you can’t use magic, it’s over.”

Then he said with a crying face that looked like he was about to burst into tears at any moment.

Yuria’s position within the political power is really precarious.

The two older brothers already had a solid political power to support them, but Yuria, the child of a concubine, did not have any political power to speak of.

Only, his talent was the only way to live. The moment it is known that she cannot use magic, she will become an ordinary woman and be used as a tool for an arranged marriage.

Desperate to become the student council president at the academy, and pursuing only one’s own interests are related to that. This is also desperate to live.

Even so, you’d never believe me like this.

Is it because you’re still young?

There was also a solution like this.

“That’s it. But don’t worry. As long as you keep the promises that Her Highness promised me, I won’t take them back.”

“Don’t lie! You’re holding the life of a country’s princess! There’s no way you could believe that innocently saying yes, I get it!”

“So what?”

“…that, make a deal.”

It’s still a coercive tone.

“Command…?”

As she frowned as if she didn’t like it, Yuria shivered.

Yuria’s blue eyes shook as if they were shaken several times.

I had something to do, and I didn’t want to wait long, so when I tried to pull myself away, Yuria hurriedly grabbed me again.

“That… that… please… please.”

YuRia’s face felt hot. The tears in his eyes were getting even redder.

Perhaps he felt ashamed of himself for having to ask for such a deal.

I replied sullenly.

“It’s a deal.”

“okay. deal! You will be by my side forever! As my entourage and as my knight!”

The expression was naturally frowned upon.

Are you done with that?

“And what?”

“And… maybe I can do a few favors for you from time to time? Is this… not enough?”

It’s a really arrogant request for the subject you’re asking for.

It is truly a villain to say that he reflects with his mouth, but in the end, he does not know how to reflect.

But, of course, not enough.

I don’t know what will happen in the future, but it’s a huge benefit that things turned out this way.

I smiled, got down on one knee, and held Yuria’s hand.

I lightly kissed the back of Yuria’s hand as she stared at me in shock.

By way of example as a knight.

“I will. As your knight, I will be by your side. you are my master So first, don’t cry.”

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Yuria’s face heated up in an instant.

“Oh, don’t cry!”

I gave a handkerchief to YuRia, who strongly denied it and wiped her eyes. YuRia took a handkerchief and wiped it with her eyes.

He’s a villain, but he’s still young, so he has a cute side to him.

But come to think of it, I’m 8 years old.

Hmm… Well, there are 8-year-olds like this in the world.

“Now then, please do me one favor.”

I waited for YuRia to wipe away all her tears before speaking right away.

“Request…? bar, right?”

Embarrassed by the speedy request, Yuria tilted her head.

It was already an expression of dislike.

But, of course, there is no veto.

“Would you like to go somewhere with me?”

.

.

.

The road to Iserk Forest.

The snowfall was getting stronger.

I wore a thick coat and even cast a cold protection spell, but the cold that penetrated even the coat was quite harsh for me.

In addition, the snow piled up quickly, and it was difficult to take a step forward with a small body.

My sickly body was already screaming in pain here and there.

“Ugh…why did this noble me… on a day like this… like this!”

Behind me, YuRia was following me crouching down with the front of her coat tightly wrapped.

It’s been almost an hour since we started moving, and we’re still talking.

“Are you having a hard time?”

“Then wouldn’t it be hard?! Why, because of that maid…”

“It’s because I’m careful not to let go of myself. I will do this even if Her Highness Yuria goes missing.”

After all, I have to become a member of the student council led by Yuria.

But unexpectedly, YuRia became quiet right away.

Also, people do not like to be discriminated against.

At that time, the entrance of the forest finally began to unfold in earnest between the eyes blocked by the snow.

Tring!

[Entering the realm of the destructive monster ‘Cluark’.]

“Wait. stop.”

When I stopped, Yuria, who was following me from behind, hurriedly tried to stop, but then slipped backwards and hit her buttock.

“Kyaaak!… Uh… Uh… Why am I like this. Noble me…”

It seemed that there would be no more time to listen to Yuria’s whining.

I immediately grabbed YuRia’s hand and raised her up.

“I’m sorry, Her Highness, but please wait here for a while until I get back.”

Yuria doesn’t go into the woods with me.

In case of an emergency, Yuria will be waiting here.

“wait…? here? here?!”

YuRia spread her arms wide as if to look at the surroundings in the flurry of snow.

“There is no roof here! No warm fireplace! Instead, it only blows your eyes! You want me to die!”

“yes. wait for me.”

I turned around immediately after talking to Yuria.

YuRia pursed her lips and showed a will to dislike it, but she would not be able to comply.

“Please.”

I slightly rolled my eyes and smiled at YuRia, and then I turned to Iserk Forest where the powerful monster was waiting.

When I really let myself go and started walking, Yuria shouted from behind as if pleading, filled with resentment.

“I am the princess!”

YuRia’s voice gradually faded at the sound of snow flurries.

“You shouldn’t be treated like this!! I should treat you with more respect! damn! I’m sick! Leonhard Danehart!!”

At the end of that cry, Yuria’s watery voice completely faded in the snow and disappeared.

And now, in the silver forest covered with white snow, there was only me.

I alone was walking towards danger.

Anyway, I’m still 8 years old, and the world in fiction is really harsh.
