Chapter 124
Later, I finally found out why I was able to return safely. Basically, Kwonter and Isaac ignored my words.
So, youre ignoring my orders?
Sadly, they both had valid excuses.
Right, but my client is the Duke of Heilon.
So is my master.
Isaac added more detail. Actually, I havent done much. The saintess and Kwonter did it all.
Did you get rid of the Darkness, Lady Eunice?
The cute heroine shook her head. No, but I was just able to create a very small gap. Enough for someone to go in to save you.
So the whole story was like that. Eunice used her power and Kwonter quickly went in and got me out of the Darkness.
Good, this meant that there was still hope as she could do something to the Darkness.
Eunice grabbed my hand, her expression looked very worried. Lady Fiona, if Im being honest, my heart dropped when I saw you at that time. I was really worried that something went wrong. You were unconscious
Isaac added, Not only were you unconscious, Miss, your body temperature was very low.
Kwonter gave an abrupt conclusion in a dull voice, In a nutshell, you were like a half-corpse.
. It turned out that my condition was quite serious. I shrugged my shoulders, Well, as long as youre safe.
Isaac grinned. I doubt that Duke Heilon and Prince Sigren would think the same.
Please keep it a secret from the Duke.
I dont dare to keep it a secret from the Duke.
How annoying.
Anyway, everything went well, so it didnt matter.
After that, I received a lot of thanks from others. Academy researchers as well as soldiers and knights. To be honest, I felt rather embarrassed listening to what they said.
Aside from this case, the subjugation of monsters itself was completed.
Because of my physical condition, the delegation took a rest for a while in the city, precisely in the castle of the owner of the estate, Marquis Relton. We stayed for one day and then went back.
Fortunately, Marquis Relton welcomed us and even invited us to dinner. Well, it was natural since we helped him deal with the troubles in his estate.
When I recalled the subjugation, I couldnt help but feel a bit satisfied. It was dangerous from the beginning to the middle, but it ended well. I also got more information than I expected. I found that there was potential in Eunices power, and there was even a slight possibility that I could control the Darkness.
In all honesty, the discovery that I could control the Darkness kept me wondering for a while. Because in the original plot, Fiona failed to control the Darkness. I couldnt help but wonder. We have the same body and the same talent, so what was the difference?
Then for a moment, the memory of being in the Darkness appeared before my eyes. My lungs were tightening. For a second, I couldnt breathe properly. All of the hair on my body stood up as I remembered how cold it was inside it. My body was shaking remembering the pain when I was in it. It was like every inch of my body was stabbed with needles.
Soon, I took a long breath slowly, calming myself.
Then I remembered I heard a womans voice right before I became unconscious. However, because of the ringing in my ears, I was not sure what it said.
Was it my hallucinations?
I shrugged my shoulders, Why is this like a horror movie
I wanted to ignore it, but I could not help but be concerned about it.

Sigrens mind was still not in the right place even when he arrived at the marquiss castle and rested. The fact that he nearly lost Fiona shook his sanity. That memory kept playing in his mind from time to time: that emergency trumpet sound that could be heard even in the forest, the terrible sight of the Darkness, and Fionas limp body.
When that emergency trumpet sound was heard from the forest, his heart dropped to his stomach. Because when a trumpet was blown, it meant something very bad happened. However, before he could even get back to headquarters, he witnessed it right in front of his eyes. The terrible sight could be seen from his position. When he finally joined the people from the headquarters, his mind was blank and his chest tightened, trying hard to breathe properly when he saw Fionas limp body.
He felt his heart stop beating every time her limp body appeared in his mind.
Sigren.
A voice broke the terrible memories that kept playing in front of his eyes.
When he looked up, Fiona looked at him curiously.
Whats the matter? Are you okay?
Sigren looked at Fiona quietly. There was no trace of a blue pale complexion on her face. When he remembered her appearance at that time, his voice came out curtly without realizing it.
Dont worry about me, take care of your body.
Fiona laughed, Im okay though.
Somehow, this made Sigren get more irritated. Whatever happens, Fiona always says good things. I understand, Im okay, Dont worry.
Sigren, are you in a bad mood? Fiona asked anxiously as she noticed his strange calm attitude. Would you like to go for a walk?
Sure.
The two walked on a quiet trail.
Fiona invited him to go for a walk to change Sigrens mood, but the scenery did not catch his eye. His eyes kept following Fionas back.
Sigren was frustrated in his calm look. What happened to Fiona this time was a punch in the gut for him. He thought, when he volunteered, he could keep her safe just like when they were in Heilon. He thought everything was going to be fine since he could protect her and keep her away from death in Heilon, a place where she was in constant danger.
But it turned out he was overconfident. And he even almost lost her without knowing it.
