After checking the system notifications, Irel belatedly stroked her chest. She almost mistook it for a ghost.
Yan Luis Ha Mash. Based on the title attached to the name, it was clear that the man she had just seen was also a Masaka. But he is not the character she knows.
It's a pity because of the game
Salvation
too massive. If it was a familiar character, perhaps she could outline her characteristics to start a conversation or ask for directions.
‘He obviously went this way?’
Irel mustered all his courage, approached the wall that the man passed through and gently placed his hand on it. However, of course she can't go through walls.
It seemed that the man named Yan she had just seen had the ability to penetrate walls or liquefy his body. Each Masaka has a different ability, so it is difficult to determine just by appearance.
“Anyway, I have to get out of here.”
Irel sighed and withdrew his hand from the wall. If you were to enter the game, it would be better to become Masaka than a hunted person like Receiver. Then she wouldn't have to tremble for fear of being devoured by a villain like Varkan at any time.
She lamented her condition and continued walking. After trudging through another hallway, this time the path split into two.
‘Which way should we go?’
Difficulties pile up on difficulties. Standing still wondering, Irel suddenly tilted her head. Because she felt a light breeze coming from the left hallway.
‘Is that the exit?’
Irel looked down at her shaking hair and without hesitation walked towards that direction. She thought that maybe she could get out of this mansion and go home.
Sadly, that hope quickly faded with the sound
plop
weak. However, that doesn't mean she was on the wrong path. Because at the end of the hallway she was walking down there was a door that looked like an exit.
But it is a door that cannot be passed through.
“Grr…”
Something curled up in front of the door sensed her presence and raised its head. At first she didn't realize it because it was dark, but looking closely, it was a giant dog as big as a house.
And even Irel knew it.
“Woof woof!!”
The dog growled fiercely, blinking as if it was about to pounce immediately. Surprisingly, it had two heads. Glowing red eyes and dagger-sized fangs flashed from each head, looking so terrible that it was terrifying.
Irel jumped back in surprise and immediately realized where he had seen this monster.
'It's the dog Varkan had with him when I first met him.'
The moment he realized that, Irel despaired. Because she already knew where she was being pulled.
This is definitely Varkan's mansion. The lair of the most cruel and evil man who will destroy the kingdom and continue to ravage the world.
It's truly a disaster. She was dragged to his lair, there was no way she could escape at her own will.
‘My family will be very worried.’
But there is another concern that needs to take priority. That was a dog growling like it was about to attack right in front of her.
"Shh, be good? I'm not a bad person..."
“Woof, woof!! Woof woof!!!”
It seemed that the dog had no intention of listening to Irel. When she panicked and didn't know what to do, the dog became even more aggressive and barked more fiercely. If touched by those sharp, cold teeth, this weak body would definitely not be intact.
‘Wait, in this situation, it would be better to call the dog's name to calm it down...'
Irel remembered the pet shows she occasionally watched in her previous life. Fortunately, she vaguely remembered the name of the dog that Varkan had called at that time.
“Choco…?”
When she called out in a trembling voice, the surprised dog stopped barking and stared at her. Its expression seemed to ask: Who are you to know my name?
Such a cute name for such a fierce dog. Irel suddenly realized that Varkan was not normal.
Either way, name calling works. Thanks to that, Irel felt a little more confident. If she could calm the dog's guard any further, perhaps she could squeeze past and go through the door it was guarding.
‘Then I can escape.’
With that thought, her chest was filled with hope. As long as she wears this ring, she will not be attacked by the dog. So she could go around the door the dog was guarding to get out.
Finding a solution, Irel unconsciously smiled. And just as she took a step towards the dog.
“WOO!!!”
“Ah!”
Choco, which was wagging its tail, suddenly rushed forward with its giant body. Irel, caught off guard, was startled and almost fell backwards. But right before her ass touched the cold marble floor, a pair of strong arms grabbed her shoulders tightly.
“Found it.”
Hearing the voice right behind her, her heart sank. She trembled and turned her head, seeing her picturesque chin and lips. And those golden eyes were looking down at her and smiling.
“Is hide and seek fun?”
That statement made Irel realize. She was always under his supervision. It was foolish to think that I could escape from the demon in its lair.
Her golden eyes that saw through despair narrowed like crescent moons. Those were the eyes of a cat excitedly looking at the mouse it intentionally let go and ran away in despair.
"You suddenly fainted, so I took you back to my house. Are you okay?"
It sounds like he's helping her, but that's just a lie. He can completely take Irel back to Earl Elorance's mansion. He sent a wedding car, so it's impossible not to know the address.
But Varkan instead seized the opportunity to take Irel straight to his home. She was in his palm from the beginning. When Irel realized that and trembled as if having a seizure, he happily loosened his grip on her shoulder.
“Hope you will like our house.”
Varkan took out a cigar, bent down and bit the tip with his sexy lips. He lit the fire with his familiar fingertips, then turned his gaze towards her.
“Why don't you answer?”
His voice was a bit hard to hear because he was holding a cigar. But the meaning hidden in the gentle yet imposing voice was very clear: He was forcing her that from now on she would live here, so it was better to stick with it, whether she wanted it or not.
He's such an asshole. So this ring must be effective, why doesn't it have any power on Varkan?
Irel grumbled silently in her heart, glaring at the innocent ring on her finger. At that moment, as if he heard it, Varkan whispered in a sweet but cold voice.
“If you keep like this, I'll start to feel sad.”
Her heart thumped at the words that sounded like a threat.
