I looked around and my eyes met something beyond the window.

"... ... !"

A bird resembling a crow was looking straight at me.

without looking away.

I looked at the bird again, wondering if I had seen something in vain.

The red eyes of the bird, which was still fixed on me, flashed for a moment.

'Ugh!'

It was embarrassing to see the stares so naked that it was an illusion.

'Should I tell Edwin?'

I soon changed my mind.

It was time to focus on the Duke of Peyton and Evelynn.

We didn't want to make a fuss without any solid evidence that it would be a threat to us.

"Where are you uncomfortable?"

Evelynn asked with a puzzled look if she saw me looking around.

"Oh, no."

I answered, trying to smile as naturally as possible.

That moment.

swish!

After the sound of the wind splitting, there was the sound of the windows shattering.

Duke Peyton reflexively embraced Evelynn and protected her.

I was startled and froze.

"what happened?"

At the same time, the drawing room door slammed open and Beryl and several other knights entered.

In the midst of the commotion, only Edwin calmly got up and went to the window.

Everyone's eyes turned to him at the unexplained behavior.

Edwin picked up something among the shards of broken glass.

"Suck."

Evelynn covered her mouth with her hand in surprise.

What was in Edwin's hand was a black bird that had been pierced by a needle the length of an adult's hand.

'how?'

Confusion quickly grasped the situation.

Edwin, who is always alert and aware of my condition, must have felt that I was nervous.

He even looked around, so he must have found the cause.

The incredible ability to pierce a window and kill a bird at once was terrifying, but I was reassured that he was my protector.

'Where the hell was that spit?'

No matter how much I looked on the table, I couldn't find any similar tools.

'Isn't that what he was carrying?'

For a moment, the spine shivered, but it quickly disappeared.

'Edwin doesn't hurt me.'

The faith, which slowly permeated like clothes soaked in the drizzle, was getting thicker and firmer day by day, like a tree ring that was gradually building up over time.

Meanwhile, Edwin returned to the sofa with the bird that had been pierced through his chest.

I reflexively leaned back at the eerie sight.

Even though Evelynn was startled, she was trying to calmly grasp the situation.

Duke Peyton relaxed the arm that was holding Evelynn, and looked at Edwin's bird with bitter eyes.
