Kalix spoke confidently, as if he had nothing to fuss about. Lelia wrinkled her eyebrows as she gazed at him. Is Kalix really crazy? Kalix even returned the magic scroll he stole back to her hand. Then he patted her little shoulder and said, "Go and get him."

"Uh, Kalix..."

"But if he doesn't come, you will marry me."

"..."

"Answer me."

As Kalix pressured her to answer, Lelia felt uncomfortable. Kalix is ​​arrogant, but he had never demanded something like this forcibly. Besides, with such a terrifying expression...

"You have to take responsibility for touching me."

Kalix said, lightly touching her cheek. Contrary to his terrifying gaze, his gestures were friendly. After that, Kalix turned around and strode out.

"..."

Lelia, who was left alone, was confused for a moment, then slumped in her seat.

['Let's all three of us get married.' I think you're really crazy.]

Lelia wondered how Kalix had become like that, but she sighed as she remembered that she had secretly snatched his first kiss away.

[At that time, I wasn't doing that... I was asking you to let me explain it to you calmly.]

Of course, she didn't know if that would have worked.

Anyway, with just one short kiss, Kalix became like that... She never thought he would. Lelia shook her head. Her first priority was to visit Oscar.

A bad thought flashed in her mind. Oscar may be afraid as he was when he was a child and alone in his pain. Her eyes went dark as she imagined him groaning without making a sound even though he was sick. Lelia closed her eyes, remembering the room where she had stayed with Oscar, just as Romeo had told her. She tore the scroll without hesitation.

***

When she opened her eyes again, it was the room she had stayed in until yesterday.

The windows that had been completely torn out were now repaired to their original condition. It was not known if Oscar had used his hands or if it was fixed by the staff. However, she was certain that Oscar was still staying here. Oscar's characteristic scent lingered on the tip of her nose. Her heart became set at his scent that she had strangely missed.

[But where did Oscar go?]

Inside the room was empty. She looked all over the drawing room, bedroom, bathroom, and even the wardrobe, but there was no one there. The only thing she could see was the bottle of poison that was lying on the floor. Lelia bit her fingertips nervously.

As she opened the window and looked outside, she saw the setting sun. People were busy, but in the meantime, Oscar was nowhere to be seen. Lelia stopped as she tried to close the window again.

Tap, tap.

It started raining from the sky. In an instant, dark clouds covered the entire sky. Rain poured down onto the darkened street. The raindrops became so thick that the people on the street were drenched. Lelia closed the window.

Anxiety began to creep on her like a mouse in a corner. As the storm hit, loud thunder started to sound as if the sky was collapsing. It felt as if the sound was scolding her. It seemed to blame her for leaving Oscar in the first place. Oscar is afraid of rainy days.

Lelia wrapped her arms around her shoulders as the temperature of the room suddenly cooled. It's raining like this, where did Oscar go? Where did he go in the meantime? Can't I find where he went?
