ALL NOVEL Chapter 211.2
‘If it’s the heretical inquisitor…’
In the past, it was an organization that regulated heretical wizards, but now it’s known as the ‘Royal Problem Solvers’.
It was the organization where Cedric, Leticia’s lover, was the leader.
“So, that means, Cedric!”
Leticia stepped forward towards the people.
‘It’s Cedric…’
The person on the horse was Cedric.
‘I’m not sure what’s happening, but I’m glad to see Cedric.’
Now that she had met Cedric, she should ask about the situation.
‘I can’t recall the events of the past few days. Was I possibly undercover, disguised as a beggar?’
It was at that moment Leticia thought this.
“Cedric de Bastion, you demon!”
Someone shouted. And passing Leticia, they rushed at Cedric with a knife.
‘Huh?’
Unconsciously, Leticia reached for her waistband.
‘My gun on my thigh, it’s gone…’
“No, Cedric!”
Leticia shouted.
At Leticia’s cry, Cedric, who was on the horse, slowly turned his head.
The next moment seemed to unfold very slowly in Leticia’s eyes. The man with the knife lunged at Cedric. And then…
Slash!
“Huh?”
Leticia blinked.
Cedric quickly drew the knife and threw it. It lodged firmly in the man’s throat.
“Argh!”
The man, spurting blood from his throat, fell towards Leticia…
‘Aaah!’
It took only a moment for Leticia to be drenched in blood.
“Who is this?”
Cedric locked eyes with Leticia.
He then dismounted from his horse and slowly approached her.
At that moment, Leticia had one thought.
‘Is this the Cedric I know?’
His dazzling platinum hair, purple eyes, doll-like features crafted by the gods, and his tall stature remained the same. But…
‘The atmosphere is different.’
Cedric’s face was devoid of any smile, and his expression was chillingly cold.
‘Has Cedric always been this bulky?’
For a moment, Cedric, who was trotting towards her, felt frighteningly threatening.
‘Please save me.’
‘Don’t make eye contact, never…’
Leticia clearly heard the whispers that spread like wildfire.
‘Do people fear Cedric?’
The Cedric that Leticia knew was popular and trusted by the citizens.
While the people had to bow their heads when they met Cedric on the street, they didn’t need to kneel down and avert their eyes as they did now.
“Ah!”
Cedric grabbed Leticia’s blood-soaked chin.
Leticia’s green eyes widened in shock.
“Ced…”
“You look especially beautiful today, my dear Lee.”
Cedric’s large hand pressed firmly against Leticia’s cheek. Her pale cheek was streaked with blood like a watercolor painting.
“Tsk!”
Then, as if getting bored, he released her chin.
“Didn’t I warn you what would happen if you appeared before me again?”
“…”
“After the last incident, I warned you. If you want to keep walking with those two legs, stay out of my sight.”
Leticia was breathless.
She needed to say something, but this unfamiliar, indifferent Cedric was so foreign to her.
Finally, Leticia responded.
“Cedric, why are you treating me like this?”
“Did you hit your head? But, you were always like this.”
Cedric remarked casually.
He then gestured towards the corpse.
“Clean this up. Both the corpse and that woman with the silly expression.”
“Yes.”
The heretical inquisitors collectively approached Leticia.
“Cedric!”
“Shh! Be quiet.”
One of Cedric’s guards covered Leticia’s mouth.
“His Majesty isn’t in a good mood today, please leave.”
“Who are you?”
“Really, such a clueless lady. Just get her out of here!”
Leticia called out to Cedric, but was ignored.
Even worse, she was dragged by the knights and thrown into a back alley.
‘Was I just treated like trash by Cedric?’
The look Cedric gave Leticia was as if he was looking at an insect.
For the first time in a long while, Leticia felt truly flustered.
“What on earth is this?”
Leticia exclaimed.
“This world is strange!”
Drenched and desolate like a wet leaf, Leticia sat down in the alley, deep in thought.
