Failed To Abandon The Villain

“Master.”

Reinhardt called out, as he arrived at the Sky Room with a smile, but froze where he was.

There was a chilling sensation with no warmth at all. A cold wind was blowing in the space that was always kept warm.

Reinhardt’s gaze slowly scanned the room.

There was no one in the Sky Room.

It was really empty.

To be precise, there was only Caspelius, the caretaker, who was standing still and staring at the hole in the window of the Sky Room.

Reinhardt’s eyes sank coldly.

“To think that you liked hide-and-seek. Your taste is also unique, Master.”

His cold voice echoed low in the heavenly room.

“What were you doing?”

Reinhardt sighed and asked Caspelius, who was standing still, as he sat on the bed where Valletta used to lay down.

The face of the Magic Tower’s Master, who Caspelius had thought would be enraged right away, was unexpectedly fine.

Caspelius, who had been watching the curled up corners of Reinhardt’s lips quietly under his robe, bowed his head.

“I apologize. I have decided it was better to let her go than to force her.”

“Ah, that’s good. I’m glad you’re not stupid. You have to know how to set priorities.”

Gently bending down, Reinhardt sat across the bed and slowly crossed his legs.

Wherever she might have gone, he can only guess.

It has been 10 years.

Reinhardt had been watching her for 10 years.

“Will it be okay not to follow her?”

“I’d be in trouble. I’ll have to be a little patient. Master has always hated feeling stuffy.”

Even when she was locked up in a dark room and hung upside down.

She always had a casual expression on her face, but she would touch her neck several times as if she was suffocating in her clothes, and untie her collar.

She felt uncomfortable wearing tight clothes and hated covering herself with a blanket.
