Tuk.

The sound of the door opening was heard softly in Tia’s ear.

Tia was actually pretending to be sleepy.

To check if what she heard about Ellie is true or not.

Not knowing that Tia was acting, Ellie went down to the cellar.

Thud. Thud.

When the sound of Ellie’s footsteps became increasingly distant.

Tia raised her body from lying on the sofa.

On the other hand, Ellie may have forgotten to close the cellar door, so she went inside without closing the door.

Tia went into the cellar where Ellie entered with cat steps, as silently as possible.

Inside the cellar was a series of stairs that went all the way down.

Tia lessened her breathing as much as she could so that Ellie wouldn’t feel her presence.

After arriving at the cellar Tia began to look for Ellie.

‘There she is.’

Tia quickly hid behind the wall while looking at Ellie’s back.

It was time to determine whether Ellie was a good person she knew or a bad person she heard.

Then Tia heard Ellie’s friendly voice, covering the corners of her mouth with her hand.

“Lena, I finally found the best offering to save you.”

The best offering?

Tia remembered the words of that the lame man’s wife for a moment

Apparently, she said Ellie sacrifices humans to save her sister.

Is the woman’s story real?

Tia decided to listen to Ellie a little more.

“Do you know, Lena? I locked three noble people in my shadow today. One is an Emperor, one is a noble person similar to a Saint, and the last is the older sister who bullies the lady I serve.”

Oh, my!

Tia was surprised for a moment and almost made a loud noise.

Fortunately, Ellie did not seem to hear Tia’s heavy breathing.

“Lena. I have a hunch that you can live with me for the rest of your life because of this offering.”

What the hell is she talking about?

Tia narrowed her brows and raised her ears.

“Lady Tia is a very good person who helps people. I’ve never seen anyone like her in more than a thousand years of my life. Her soul is so clean. It’ll probably fit you. Oh, yes, she looks similar to you too.”

Tia felt betrayed by Ellie.

It was the moment when the trust she had in Ellie was shattered.

‘That woman was right.’

Tia also felt frustrated that she had to be sacrificed by someone.

She has always lived by giving.

That’s how she could get compliments and people would praise her.

Tia knew very well that her personality wasn’t as kind as other people portrayed her to be.

She saved many people by doing various favours just to have a good impression over everyone.

However, she didn’t realise when her behavior to create a good image became a habit.

So, with Ellie’s help, she came to the island of the sick to treat a lot of patients.

‘It feels good to help others, but come to think of it, I never had my own life.’

Tia looked back on her life.

Her life that she lived for others.

The only time Tia was happy was when she took a walk with Charlize, ate with her by chance, or when she (Charlize) showed interest in herself (Tia).

Tia let go of the negative thoughts for now and listened to Ellie.

“Lena. It’s not long before the red full moon rises. Please wait till then. Sister loves you.”

Ellie kissed Lena’s forehead, satisfied seeing her sister she wanted to see, and turned around to get out of the cellar.

But something happened in her shadow before she could leave.

Charlize was going on a rampage.

Ellie’s happy face crumpled completely and became irritated.

“Lady Charlize. Stay quiet in the shadows.”

After listening to Ellie, Tia knew that it was Ellie who kidnapped Charlize and wanted to jump on her, but she couldn’t.

It was because Ellie’s next words stopped her.

“Lady Charlize. Why do you keep asking me to kill you instead of Lady Tia? You’re bothering me.”

Sister is telling Ellie to kill her?

Tia again tried to pounce on Ellie in a surge of anger from behind her, but stopped when she saw Ellie muttering to herself, and suddenly stiffening her face.

“You want to die instead of Lady Tia?”

Ellie snorted and sneered at Charlize.

Tia was surprised. Ellie’s words that Charlize wanted to die in her stead made her feel strange.

She didn’t want to see her loved one die.

However, Charlize’s behavior that she would die for her was touching.

‘Sister is thinking of me to the point where she’s willing to throw her life away.”

Tia didn’t have a good heart, but her heart beats wildly when her beloved Charlize does something for her like that.

Therefore, Tia forgot to pounce on Ellie for a moment.

At that moment, Ellie’s cold tone rang out loudly in the cellar.

“Okay, Lady Charlize, I’ll kill you.”

Tia quickly came to her senses and tried to attack Ellie. However, Ellie, who had already sensed Tia’s presence, lightly avoided Tia’s attack.

“Lady Tia. I was going to tell you this important thing later. But too bad.”

“What the hell are you thinking, Ellie?”

“As much as Lady Tia cares about Lady Charlize, I am also experimenting to save my beloved sister by any means.”

“So you killed Sister Charlize?”

Tia asked Ellie bluntly in a tense voice.

Then Ellie replied leisurely.

“Yes. I killed her because she asked me to kill her.”

“You…!”

“Lady Charlize is a danger to me.”

Tia hardened her face.

“Isn’t it because you don’t like Sister?”

“Well, you can say that too. I’d rather kill people who are threatening to me quickly.”

Tears pooled in Tia’s eyes by Ellie’s outspoken remarks.

Her sister died.

Her sister had a will containing the sacred power left by their mother.

But the will only works by those of Duke of Rebecca’s descendents.

Tia’s face hardened.

I can’t believe Sister is dead!

Tia’s blue eyes filled with anger.

She wanted to kill Ellie right away.

“However, I will not harm Lady Tia until you are sacrificed. So stop making trouble.”

“Just as you lost your sister, I’m also going crazy because of the loss of my beloved sister.”

“Lady Charlize gave up her life for Lady Tia. Of course I know how you feel but it couldn’t be helped.”

“You just killed Sister Charlize because she was a threat to you. You played tricks on my sister.”

“That’s true. But she bothered me saying that she wanted to die and screamed for me to kill her. So I killed her.”

“So you are saying it’s not your fault?”

“I just got rid of the villainess who is hated by everyone, what’s the problem? Is Lady Tia angry because I killed Lady Charlize, the person she loves?”

Tia was stabbed in the heart by Ellie’s question, but the desire to take revenge on Ellie didn’t disappear.

“Take me to where Sister Charlize is.”

“That’s impossible. Lady Tia is not supposed to be in such darkness.”

“I’ll kill myself if you don’t take me where Sister Charlize is. So take me to her. It’s an order as a master. Ellie”

Tia threatened Ellie with a creepy look.

But Ellie wasn’t someone to step down here.

“Lady Tia, you can’t beat me with that kind of threat.”

“But I can’t live without Sister Charlize. Take me to her!”

“I’m the best Dark Sorcerer. Lady Tia. So stop it.”

“Then I will die after my sister.”

Tia took out a dagger she carried in her pocket.

This dagger was a very special weapon because it was something that Charlize gave to Tia as a first gift a long time ago.

Tia poked her neck slightly with the dagger in her hand.

And frowned slightly at the pain.

The two sisters are crazy.

Ellie gave a ridiculous laugh.

“Send me where Sister Charlize is, or I will die with her.”

Puk.

When Tia cut her neck slightly with the dagger, a thin strand of blood poured out.

Ellie became anxious because she thought that at this rate, the real precious offering would die in vain.

Therefore, Ellie had no choice but to obey Tia’s orders.

Ellie restrained Tia to darkness and went into her shadow.



***



Familiar faces were seen in Ellie’s shadow.

Harrison and John, and the dead Charlize.

Tia approached Charlize and shed tears.

“Sister. Please don’t die, okay?”

Harrison and John reacted strongly when they heard the beautiful voice of Tia.

Harrison let out a long sigh at the sight of Tia.

John also breathed a sigh of relief.

“Tia. We’re here, too.”

When Harrison spoke to Tia, she pretended not to hear him.

The most important person now was Charlize.

Tia was appalled to see a hole in Charlize’s heart.

“How can you die so miserably for me, Sister?”

Tia felt her whole world was lost at the heartbreak.

Then she suddenly realised, while Charlize died, Harrison and John were watching. But they didn’t save her because they were insensitive to her death.

Eventually, Tia exploded.

“Your Majesty, John. Why on earth did you leave her alone to die?”

Hate was smeared in Tia’s cold, sharp voice.
