Chapter 38

“I thought you would come.”

Irik stood next to Philia and caressed Philia’s neck. Claude’s gaze rested on Philia. His reddish brown eyes saw Philia’s disheveled outfit, and they instantly gleamed with cold anger.

“Why, do you think I attacked her like you did?”

At Irik’s words, Claude said,

“What is this?”

“It’s all because of you.”

“…….”

“The way I became like this, and the way Philia became like this.”

“And so?”

Even in dire circumstances, Claude seemed relaxed. With that strange composure, Philia felt that the situation she was in was unrealistic. Irik laughed as if it was ridiculous.

“So, I want to kill her in front of you.”

“Brother…”

“Shut up.”

Philia felt something touch her own neck. It was a weapon. Claude stood, watching. His expression looked as relaxed as usual, but Philia understood.

He was not relaxed. Claude froze as he saw the threat posed to Philia. It seemed he had never thought that Irik would end Philia’s life.

The same was true with Philia. She had no idea that the kind Irik would change so quickly. To even use a dagger… He hated blood… Irik looked at Philia and smiled at her widely.

“You, me, and that guy, let’s all just die.”

Tears fell from Irik’s eyes. But his mouth was tearing open with a smile. Philia could not comprehend Irik’s madness. Does he really want death? If not…

“What do you want?”

“You heard, Claude Piast, the evil demon’s life.”

Claude laughed when he heard that.

“Then take it.”

“…….”

“What do you want? Do you want to cut off my neck? Or are you going to gouge out my heart here?”The way I became like this, and the way Philia became like this.”

“And so?”

Even in dire circumstances, Claude seemed relaxed. With that strange composure, Philia felt that the situation she was in was unrealistic. Irik laughed as if it was ridiculous.

“So, I want to kill her in front of you.”
