“I heard the Duke and mom talking earlier. He said that mom has a mark… Do bad people know that mom’s here?”
“It’s okay. Since the Duke’s residence is safe. Edward is here too…”
Despite Karina’s efforts to hold onto the chains of her mind and reassure Roland, Rolland shook his head violently.
“IT’S NOT OKAY”
“…Roland.”
Roland shouted as if he couldn’t take it anymore.
“The mark only ends when the wizard dies. That wizard could be on the other side of the continent by now, in what way…!”
Karina’s eyes widened. Roland was talking about marks that even she didn’t know in detail.
“Roland. I’ve never even heard of marks until yesterday. How did you find out?”
“…It was in a book that uncle only made me read.”
Once again, Karina cursed Lord Renque. The magic that even made Claude trembled, who had seen many evil deeds of wizards so far is the mark. A magic that makes humans not see humans as humans, but only as a target.
Roland’s only eight years old. The age when he shouldn’t even be aware such cruel magic exists. And at which he shouldn’t know that the only adult he trusts is under that spell.
‘And Melissa… now she knows too.’
There’s no way that Roland would hide what he knows from Melissa, so Melissa would have known anyway.
“I see.”
Karina spoke slowly. As long as Roland already knew, it’ll be counterproductive to talk about how evil and unknowable the magic is.
“I’m fine. It’s not painful and in fact, I know that there’s actually a mark on me because Your Grace the Duke informed me.”
“Doesn’t it hurt?”
Roland’s eyes widened.
“Certainly, it was written that it would burn like it’s on fire…”
Karina pondered at her memory. It was a hectic day, but if she felt a burning pain near her chest, she would definitely remember it.
“There was nothing like that. So Roland and Melissa don’t have to worry. You understand?”
Melissa’s face flushed red, and a small sob burst out.
“How can we not worry!”
“Hey, Melissa.”
“Mom’s bad. When you’re hurt, you won’t say you’re in pain…”
