Arsene growled.

 

Ethan tried to say more to Arsene, but soon admitted his mistake and backed down.

 

“I apologize. I made a mistake.”

 

“If you know, find Linsy right away.”

 

Arsene pointed outside the door with a wrinkled face.

 

At that time, 

 

Stumble—.

 

Arsene’s body lost its balance and stumbled.

 

“Young mas— Young Lord!” 

 

Ethan was startled and supported Arsene. Arsene waved his hand as if he was okay and pushed Ethan away.

 

“I’m fine, so go out and search. Since it doesn’t seem to be in wolf territory, the search area is expanded. Tell my father too.” 

 

“What if you say you’re expanding the search range?” 

 

“Linsy has disappeared. Then there is only one place that is suspicious right now.” 

 

Arsene smiled crookedly.

 

“Raniero. Search the territory of the bird clan.” 

 

“But Young Lord  Arsene, you can’t just search another clan’s territory!”

 

“No, we have to search the bird clan’s territory.” 

 

Arsene said firmly.

 

Gale Raniero. 

 

That b*stard may have kidnapped Linsy. Because that b*stard has wanted Linsy back for a long time.

 

Moreover, the recent actions of the bird clan were also very suspicious.

 

For almost ten years, they locked themselves and cut off all communication with other clans.

 

Wouldn’t they destroy the holy relic?

 

This incident took place immediately after the announcement that the relics would be held accountable if they were not restored.

 

Besides,

 

‘It seemed like there was pollen on the wings of the bird family.’

 

Does father know?

 

The circumstances of all the incidents pointed to one place, like a lie.

 

Raniero. 

 

Although it cannot yet be determined that they were the masterminds of this incident, it was clear that they were related in some way. 

 

“The bird clan was spreading the pollen. At the time, I was busy trying to control the damage, so I wasn’t in a hurry.”

 

Arsene’s mouth opened and closed a few times, as if he were thinking about each word.

 

“Now if we ask to hold them responsible, they won’t be able to say anything.” 

 

“…Shall I tell Lord Kendrick?”

 

“Yeah.”

 

Arsene said as he roughly put on his jacket and walked out the door.

 

“I will go to the border of the bird clan territory.” 

 

***

 

Oh, this is absolutely ridiculous.

 

I lay down in the cage, exhausted, staring at the ceiling and thinking quietly.

 

‘How is it that monitoring can be so thorough?’

 

It’s already been four days since I was locked in this cage.

 

All I had figured out so far was that I could insert or remove objects through the gaps in the bars of this cage.

 

No, this is not right. 

 

I jumped up.

 

It seemed that not only objects but also human hands could pass through it.

 

Judging by the fact that the maids suddenly put their hands into the cage and put food in it.

 

‘But not with my hands!’

 

I looked down at my hands, not at my wings, and was in despair. 

 

The maids’ hands could pass through the bars, but my wings couldn’t. 

 

If I tried to push my wings between the bars, the body would bounce off due to the strong impact.

 

Moreover, 

 

‘When the cage door was opened, I tried to take advantage of the opening to get out.’

 

Even that didn’t work. Because no one opened the cage door.

 

Obviously, that guy from last time.

 

“Stay still. Stay dead until we find you.”

 

He said something like that. Those words were consistent with saying that an unknown person would be looking for me.

 

So if those men came to pick me up again, I tried to use my power to make the light flash and escape through the gap!

 

‘But they’re not coming!’

 

Besides that, they said I would soon be able to meet Glene. But what about Glene? I couldn’t even see a single hair of hers.

 

I could only watch quietly as the bird clan’s maids and knights, who had familiar looks, took turns watching me.

 

‘Can I go out?’

 

As my thoughts reached that point, a part of my heart felt uncomfortable for no reason.

 

I barely escaped that fate and am now living well.

 

I can’t believe something like this is happening again.

 

I looked at what looked like a huge jewel hanging at the top of the cage.

 

‘That jewel.’

 

There is something I learned after spending four days in this cage.

 

When I tried to use my ability inside the cage, the jewel glowed.

 

This happened not only when I tried to use my ability but also when I tried to escape through the gap in the cage bars. 

 

The jewels flashed whenever I made a move that seemed like I was trying to escape from the cage.

 

And,

 

‘I can’t use my power.’

 

It’s not that I haven’t thought about using my ability to defeat the maids and knights and escape. 

 

Even though my ability is healing.

 

Although it was an ability that had nothing to do with attacking other people.

 

‘There is something called overhealing.’

 

If the healing ability was pushed to its limit, even a healthy beast would be in pain.

 

Each beastman has their own vessel, and I pour my powers into that vessel until it breaks. 

 

It wasn’t something completely groundless.

 

While I was using my ability to heal beastmen, I used my ability too much and ended up worsening their condition. 

 

So, I tried to use that method at least.

 

When I lay down on my stomach, my image lying on the jewel was clearly reflected.

 

As if the jewel had penetrated my heart, when I tried to use my ability within this cage, it flashed light and absorbed my ability.

 

‘What on earth is that?’

 

I had never heard of a jewel that absorbs one’s power. 

 

Phew.

 

It’s been a full four days.

 

I was stuck in the same place for four days, listening to a lot of nonsense about passage and things like that, and I felt like my head was going to explode.

 

I just wanted to see Arsene.

 

‘When I meet Arsene…’

 

I thought, looking blankly at the scenery outside the window.

 

I don’t know if I’ll ever see Arsene again, but if I do.

 

I have to tell him that I don’t want to part ways with him again. 

 

We’ve been together since we were seven, so we should continue to be together.

 

I feel like I can’t live without him. 

 

That night,

 

‘I hope you make the same decision as me.’

 

I felt as if Arsene’s voice, staring at me and whispering, was ringing in my ears.

 

I sighed, lay still in my spot, and didn’t move.

 

For a while, until someone else comes looking for me.

 

Click. 

 

The door that had been closed the whole time opened.

 

I jumped up from my spot.

 

Then I looked at the door that was open. I felt like I needed to at least check who came in.

 

However, 

 

‘…Schville?’

 

I couldn’t help but open my eyes wide when I saw this person who had just come in.

 

The person who entered the room was clearly Schville. 

 

And next to it…

 

“I haven’t seen you in a long time. Miss Linsy.” 

 

There was a sad smile on the wrinkled face of an old man who talked to me. 

 

‘Who is that person?’

 

I furrowed my brows and tried to remember him, but I couldn’t.

 

It was the first time I had seen him in my life.

 

But that person was talking to me in a happy tone, as if he had known me for a long time.

 

However, I didn’t have the spirit to care about that person.

 

“Chirp!” 

 

‘Schvillle!!!’

 

I ran to the bars. And then I looked up at Shuville.

 

[Release me right now!]

 

[Right now!]

 

I swear I did nothing wrong to Schville.

 

I couldn’t even understand why on earth Schville had come to see me with this strange man.

 

At that time, 

 

“You’re still full of energy.”

 

Hoho. The old man’s laughter sounded low in the room.

 

Instead of begging Schville to let me go right away, I turned my head and looked at him.

 

“You were so full of energy even back then. Needlessly… I wish you hadn’t done that.”

 

He placed his hand on Schville’s shoulder and looked down at me.

 

“This is my first time meeting you in this life. Miss Linsy. My name is Georg.”

 

He nodded.

 

What do you mean you’re seeing me for the first time in this life? 

 

As soon as I heard Georg’s words, I stopped moving.

 

‘No way, I… Could it be that he knows that I have regressed?’

 

But how? It wasn’t something I could find out if I wanted to.

 

The only person who knows about the regression is me.

 

It was a fact that others couldn’t have known. Moreover… 

 

Georg thrust his hand into the bars.

 

I instinctively took a step back and tried to escape, but Georg’s hand grabbed my chin, and I struggled.

 

“You don’t know how difficult it was to bring Miss Linsy back here.”

 

What?

 

“It feels different to be in the position of looking down on you like this.”

 

He tightened his hands and brought his face close to the bars.

 

I struggled, trying to escape Georg’s grasp

 

However, 

 

Something was a little strange.

 

Instead of struggling, I looked straight into Georg’s face with my eyes wide open.

 

‘…This person…!’
