It wasn’t long before the woman opened her mouth.

“Is she a woman with wheat coloured hair and green eyes?”

Tia immediately answered yes and asked the woman if she knew Ellie.

“Well, if she’s the one I think, be careful of her. She is a dangerous woman.”

“Why is Ellie dangerous?”

“Is there a black mark on the back of Ellie’s hand?”

“Yeah. I heard it’s a birthmark.”

“Then she’s the one you have to be careful of.”

Charlize felt frustrated with the conversation between Tia and the woman.

Why do they keep dragging the subject?

They could just ask straight and get an answer briefly.

Charlize was forced to interpret the conversation.

“Why is the woman named Ellie dangerous? Just tell me the reason.”

The woman replied, gulping down her dry saliva at Charlize’s coercive attitude.

“As far as I know, the woman named Ellie is a Dark Sorcerer. There was a big rumor in my hometown about the woman, Ellie.”



“Dark Sorcerer?”

“Yes. The rumor seems to have spread to only a few villages and not to the capital or large cities. I have heard rumors that Ellie sacrifices people to save her dead sister.”

Tia narrowed her brows and refuted the woman’s words.

“Ellie’s not the kind of person. It must be someone else.”

“But it won’t hurt to be careful now, will it? It was known that Ellie is a person who does everything for her sister. She was pretty famous back in my hometown.”

Charlize pondered to herself, thinking how she had to solve this puzzle ‘Ellie’ before taking Tia home.

‘Oh, I’m sick of it.’



***



Charlize quickly finished breakfast with Tia and left the house.

She had a strong belief that if she didn’t find the woman named Ellie right now, something big would happen in the future.

A character that did not appear in the original work.

The one who tempted the original female protagonist, Tia, to run away to the island of the sick.

The appearance of a Dark Sorcerer is too strong to be called an extra.

Charlize headed where Tia lived with Ellie.

In other words, she headed to the house where Tia and Ellie stayed but couldn’t find the night before.

Under Tia’s guidance, Charlize finally reached the house Tia lived in. As soon as she saw the house, she couldn’t help but joke looking at the house that looked twice as big as the other houses on the island.

“You lived well, consider the hellish place you’ve come to. The largest house on this island.”

“I didn’t live in the house because I wanted to. Ellie brought me here so I just went in.”

“Is there anything suspicious about the girl named Ellie?”

“There isn’t. She’s a really good person.”

Of course, all those whom she favours must be good people.

‘Except for me.’

Charlize entered the house where Tia and Ellie stayed with Tia following behind.

The house was wider than she thought, and it looked pretty neat as if someone had just finished cleaning.

“By the way, that woman named Ellie is here, right?”

Charlize looked at Tia with a suspicious look and asked, but Tia waved her hand.

“I don’t know if Ellie is here or not.”

“Then why did you come here?”

“I just wanted to get my stuff.”

“Oh, so you’ve finally thought of going back to the Duke of Rebecca voluntarily?”

When Tia replied yes, Charlize quickly sent Tia to her room, telling her to finish her job quickly.

Left alone, Charlize sat on a fluffy-looking sofa in the living room.

“It’s soft.”

Charlize lay down on the sofa.

Perhaps the sofa was large, the end of the sofa remained empty even after Charlize lay down completely.

‘I’m sleepy for some reason. I feel like I’m losing my energy.’

It was as if someone was taking away her energy, Charlize was about to get up because she felt unpleasant.

Just at that time, a cloud of shadow blocked Charlize’s mouth and at the same time, it coiled around her body as her body passed through the floor.

Charlize was puzzled by the strange phenomenon.

Because of the darkness that blocked more than half of her view, she wasn’t able to figure out where she was brought.

Then.

“Charlize?”

Harrison’s voice was heard near.

Charlize shook her head to shake off some of the darkness.

And then she was Harrison and John, who were bound by darkness like her.

John had a dark complexion.

The curse must be spreading in his body.

She found Tia, but under the current circumstances, it was impossible to ask her for help.

When Charlize used her hand to shake off the darkness that was blocking her mouth, the darkness disappeared in an instant.

“So what are Your Majesty and John doing here? I asked you to find Tia, but you are caught in a place like this. You should be removed from the list of Tia’s prospective future husband.”

Harrison made a lame excuse.

“We met the maid who was with Tia. But that bitch set us up like this. She said she would take us where Tia is. Bloody hell!”

“Your Majesty knows nothing but Tia.”

“That’s the same for you, John!”

The two began to fight and growl like animals again.

Charlize was just tongue-tied by Harrison’s foolishness, who believes in people more than she does.

The tyrant Emperor of the century loses his mind like this whenever Tia is involved.

He’s disqualified.

Charlize listened to Harrison and John bickering and absent-mindedly tuned out for a moment before realizing that she had not told an important fact.

So she opened her mouth quickly.

“Your Majesty, John. I found Tia.”

Harrison and John reacted greatly to Charlize’s calm tone.

Harrison’s golden eyes glistened as he asked, “Are you sure?”

John also had a slightly anticipated face.

But before Charlize could answer, Harrison suddenly wondered out loud how Charlize was trapped in the shadows.

“Charlize, how did you come into this shadow?”

“Is this in the shadow? I don’t know. I just stopped by the house where Tia and Ellie stayed and laid on the sofa.”

Harrison could sense that something was off.

“There must be black magic in the house.”

John also nodded slightly, implying he agreed with Harrison.

“But Tia was not brought into the shadows. I’m the only one who came.”

John, who was listening to Charlize, slowly explained to Harrison and Charlize as if he had grasped the situation.

“Perhaps the house is made up of black magic. It seems that the maid Ellie only set it in a way that only Tia can enter and leave the house at will.”

“Explain clearly.”

Harrison urged John.

John glared at Harrison and went on.

“I think Ellie’s main purpose is Tia.”

As soon as John finished, Charlize recalled the words of the woman they saved earlier.

“The woman named Ellie is dangerous.”

“She sacrifices people for her dead sister.”

Just as Charlize was about to open her mouth, Ellie’s voice rang out of the shadows.

“There’s one more person? Oh, isn’t it Lady Charlize?”

“You, what do you want to do with Tia? Why have you created this trap?”

“What are you talking about? I’ve just laid this trap for Lady Tia’s safety.”

Harrison screamed at Ellie’s brazen attitude.

“When I get out of this shadow, I will kill you!”

Ellie couldn’t believe there was someone worst here than Charlize.

Harrison was delirious.

“Then, stay happily in the shadows as long as you want. Think of it as your home.”

You bitch!

Harrison sighed in irritation at Ellie’s brazen attitude, who cut off the communication as if she no longer wanted to communicate with them.

He came to the island of the sick and was to find Tia, but fell in a trap instead.

John was strangely calm, unlike Harrison, who was huffing and puffing in anger.

With an expressionless face, John asked a question to Charlize, who was also held by shadows.

“Charlize, have you heard anything suspicious about the woman named Ellie?”

“I was about to talk about it, but because that woman Ellie came, I stayed quiet.”

“Have you got any information about that woman?”

“I did a lame man a favor and they gave me this valuable information.”

John looked at Charlize with a fierce look urging her to speak.

As far as Charlize knows, she has sprawled Ellie’s information.

“The woman I saved said Ellie has gone crazy because of her dead sister.”

Harrison also thought that she was crazy when he saw her setting them up.

“And?”

Charlize went on.

“I think she wants to save her dead sister with black magic by sacrificing humans. They told me to be careful about her, you know?”

Harrison’s face crumpled at the words.

Doesn’t that mean she wants to sacrifice Tia too?

That Ellie didn’t trap Tia into the shadows because she is a precious offering.

Besides, Tia wouldn’t even think of Ellie as a bad person because she has already gained quite a bit of Tia’s trust.

Harrison gritted his teeth and expressed his anger as if the woman named Ellie would be killed the second she came to her sight.

This feeling was exactly the same when he saw Charlize’s crazy behaviour.
