The Daughter of Evil - Volume 2 - Chapter 3.24

✿CHAPTER 3, SECTION 2, SCENE 4✿
✿ Michaela ~ Elphegort Country’s “Freesis Mansion • Garden” ~

Late at night, I quietly left the servant room alone and headed for the garden in which not long ago, Clarith and I were chatting about the inn.

On my right hand, I was holding the “amazing green onion” Gumillia gave me, waving it up and down. At first, it gave off a faint glow but after some time, it began to shine a dazzling light.

I set the root on the ground. The glowing green onion’s root has exceptional hardness, making it easy to set unto the soft soil. The green onion suddenly said:

“Michaela, can you hear me?”

After a brief silence, a nostalgic voice was accompanied with noise.

“Elluka! Long time no see!”

This is the “Amazing Green Onion’s” ability. For as long as it has the magic of its owner, it can make long-distance conversations. This is an ancient creation of God and man has made it close. People has yet to make a big deal out of it.

The only problem is the frequency, duration and limited durability. Its design has no significance but once it decays, it can’t be used anymore. Elluka sealed it in a box to prevent corruption and will only be used as a last resort.

My spring onion(?)— I reported to Elluka everything that has happened so far: Becoming a servant in the Freesis Mansion, the “Venom Sword” hidden in the warehouse and also a swordsman named Gast Venom plotting to get it.

“So it seems ‘sin’ has nothing to do with Lucifenia’s collapse”

“Really?”

“The Venom Sword once belonged to a Duke of Asmodin, Sateriajis Venomania. He was possessed by the Devil of ‘Lust’. Rilliane is ‘Arrogant’… Although I don’t want to assert, but I think it has no relation to our problem”

“How did this… What are we going to do?”

“Just keep an eye on it. Although it has nothing to do with our problem, it might do something in the future. Anyway, Gast Venom is a nostalgic name”

A sudden change from Elluka’s tone.

“Do you know him?”

“He was previously my partner… and now my enemy. I already know Gast’s purpose in finding the sword”

“…… How is it on your side? Is Gumillia OK?”

“She’s doing great. If she continues on like this, she should be able to use “Clockwork Magic” in the next six months or so. She really is a smart girl”

The sound is gradually fading. It seems we are nearing the time limit.

“Remember to contact me if an unexpected situation occurs. You don’t have to worry about a thing, Michaela. Just stay put and relax”

The voice was suddenly interrupted.

In the next six months, Gumillia will be able to seal away the demon inside Princess Rilliane. After that, I will have to depart with everyone… and with Clarith too.

In the meantime, all I have to do is relax and enjoy the peaceful days I have left.

However, the very next day.

Because of Princess Rilliane’s wrath, the situation has come to its worst case scenario… And I didn’t know anything about it.
