I can’t believe I just found out about this.

 

No, is it natural that I didn’t recognize it?

 

‘At least, as far as I remember, there was no place in the Raniero mansion that had a cage like this.’

 

What on earth happened to the Raniero mansion?

 

Judging from the structure of this room and the scenery outside, this place probably contains a huge birdcage.

 

‘It’s the Head of the Family’s room.’

 

A place I’ve been to a few times in my past life with my father. After noticing it, some familiar parts caught my eye.

 

But why on earth?

 

‘Is the Head of the Family’s room like this?’ 

 

There wasn’t a single piece of furniture that should have been there, and it was filled with unidentifiable objects and a huge birdcage.

 

‘What’s going on here?’

 

Aren’t the people who kidnapped me talking among themselves, saying that the day is over?

 

They even called me ‘Passage’.

 

And, 

 

‘It was also called a phoenix…’

 

What do you mean by a phoenix? I just blinked at the incomprehensible situation. 

 

…I don’t know.

 

No matter how much I think about it, all I can figure out is that this is the Raniero mansion. 

 

There were only two things from which there was no way of getting away, no matter how hard I tried. 

 

In the end, I stopped thinking any more and decided to eat first.

 

Because I have to eat well so that I can escape when I have the chance.

 

As I was kidnapped and held captive in an unfamiliar place, I thought about Arsene more desperately.

 

Has the news reached Arsene by now? If so, he must be worried about me. 

 

Fortunately, the place where I am trapped is the Raniero Mansion.

 

Kendrick and Arsene will naturally become suspicious of Raniero if I am kidnapped. 

 

The problem is that the current situation in the society of the beastmen is so bad that it is unclear whether these two people will be able to come to save me.

 

Furthermore.

 

‘They said until the ceremony.’

 

In other words, it was like saying that after the ritual was over, they would kill me or abandon me. 

 

Will I be able to escape before then?

 

Arsene’s face kept flashing before my eyes.

 

After the festival was over and the formal coming-of-age ceremony was held, I was planning to confess to Arsene.

 

I don’t want to divorce you.

 

But now that things have turned out this way, is it really possible to convey that message?

 

I kept having bad thoughts while I was locked up. 

 

Of course, when Kendrick and Arsene hear the news, they will do their best to find and save me.

 

‘This is the Raniero mansion.’

 

The Raniero Mansion, where bird clans who have lost their senses run wild… 

 

Wait a moment.

 

I thought that far and then opened my eyes.

 

The bird clan I saw in the sanctuary clearly seemed to have lost their senses.

 

They lost their minds, attacked other beastmen, and were even put on the floor because they couldn’t control their own behavior. 

 

That was clearly something only beastmen who had lost their senses did. However… 

 

‘But how did the new clan spread Giles pollen?’

 

Aside from losing their sense, the bird clan floated in the air and flapped their wings as if they had received orders from someone, scattering Giles pollen. 

 

At first, that wouldn’t have been possible because beastmen who had lost their minds wouldn’t follow orders. 

 

However,

 

‘How on earth is this going?’

 

What on earth are those people?

 

And Glene…

 

Why did Glene kidnap me?

 

I recalled the first time I met Glene when I was young. 

 

Glene was kind to me, always nice, and.

 

‘There was…a prohibition on it.’

 

There was an incredibly large golden pattern engraved on Glene’s back.

 

She suddenly disappeared the next day, leaving me with a warning to be careful because it was dangerous.

 

If kidnapping had been the goal, it would have been much easier to do it then.

 

At that time, security at the Yeckhart Mansion was not as tight as it is now, and I was younger and weaker.

 

But now…

It was full of things I couldn’t understand.

 

And, 

 

‘How on earth did you bring me out?’

 

The Yeckhart Mansion was guarded by knights day and night.

 

Also, there were the Shadow Knights that Kendrick had attached to me.

 

But Glene attacked me, knocked me out, and then took me with her as she left the Yeckhart Mansion leisurely.

 

‘Really…’

 

I don’t know anything.

 

Right now, I just want to see Arsene.

 

Although I didn’t show it, I was afraid of unfamiliar places and the unfamiliar power of unfamiliar people.

 

Especially now that I have never tried to resist that power.

 

And what if…

 

If that ‘ceremony’ is killing me…

 

I don’t know what on earth they were going to use me for by killing me, but thinking back on the conversation the men were having, it seems like that’s roughly what they meant.

 

A ‘ceremony’ that requires my life.

 

Does that make sense?

 

I’d never even heard of such a thing. Besides…

 

Why is it me?

 

They treated me like I was something special.

 

It was even more so when I heard people talking about it being a passageway and a phoenix.

 

‘This is absolutely ridiculous!’

 

I was furious and stuck my head in to escape the cage through the wide bars.

 

But the cage lightly bounced me off again this time.

 

“Chirp!” 

 

Ack! 

 

I rolled over in shock and landed upside down in the corner of the cage.

 

‘It’s the worst…’

 

If Kendrick had seen this situation, he would have torn them all to pieces.

 

I finally sighed, trudged over, and pecked at my asparagus salad.

 

Kendrick and Arsene.

 

Betty and Ethan. Mr. Hern.

 

And I really missed Yeckhart’s employees.

 

***

 

I can’t find Linsy.

 

Arsene’s mind instantly turned white. He didn’t even think about it.

 

Even though dozens of shadow wolves searched the entire wolf territory, they couldn’t find a single trace of Linsy.

 

However, when expanding the search range to the entire continent, Arsene’s abilities were not as good as they were.

 

And it would be the same for Kendrick.

 

He doesn’t have any abilities that can be used on the entire continent.

 

Arsene tried his best to find any traces Linsy left behind through the shadow wolf, but he couldn’t find it. 

 

The atmosphere in the Yeckhart mansion was gloomy.

 

The servants didn’t even laugh, and everyone just looked at Arsene, Ethan, and the knights.

 

The knights of Yeckhart searched everywhere, day and night, but they couldn’t find Linsy. 

 

They couldn’t find her. 

 

It was as if she had just disappeared into thin air! 

 

Arsene hit the wall.

 

Dust fell down. Arsene wheezed for a while, as if his anger didn’t go away even after hitting the wall.

 

“Where the hell is she?”

 

Linsy, please. 

 

Arsene is now almost at the point of pleading with Linsy.

 

Please tell me where you are. 

 

“…Young Master.” 

 

Ethan approached Arsene and spoke carefully.

 

Arsene looked back at Ethan with an annoyed expression.

 

He spoke carefully to Arsene.

 

“We will look for her more. First of all, it’s best to get some rest…” 

 

Ethan looked at Arsene.

 

Ethan also knew that it would be impolite to ask Arsene if he would like to take a little rest in this situation where Linsy had disappeared.

 

However,

 

‘It’s already been a few days.’

 

Arsene had been using his ability without sleep for four days already. 

 

Four full days have passed since his ability blossomed.

 

Although it is rare to manifest another ability once more, he had to rest a little after it manifested.

 

This is because there is a high probability that he suffered a strain on his body while manifesting.

 

Not only that, even when he overused his powers, he had to take a break.

 

Otherwise.

 

‘Because he might not be able to withstand this ability and his body might break.’

 

Moreover, Arsene couldn’t guarantee his physical condition.

 

He is said to be in good health now thanks to Linsy’s help and treatment, but when he was young, he was often told that he wouldn’t live past the age of seven.

 

In such a situation,

 

‘After awakening this ability, he used it for four full days.’

 

It wouldn’t be surprising if he collapsed right now.

 

However, Arsene seemed to have no intention of stopping until he found Linsy, and continued to use his ability in an awakened state the entire time. 

 

Arsene’s shadow wolves were searching throughout the wolf territory.

 

And,

 

[Find more, find more. Find her. Be sure to find her.] 

 

Under Arsene’s orders, the search range was expanding beyond the wolf territory and into the territory of other clans.

 

“Young Master!”

 

Ethan called Arsene as if he were frustrated.

 

Arsene’s sharp gaze turned to Ethan’s face.

 

Ethan had also been wandering around looking for Linsy for the past few days, so his face was very bruised.

 

Arsene said, glaring at Ethan.

 

“How long are you going to call me Young Master? I think it’s time to call me Young Lord.”

 

Arsene said it coldly.

 

“And then the Young Madam of this mansion disappeared. Are you telling me to rest in this situation? Ethan, what’s wrong with your head?”
