No noble would offer friendship for nothing. Although Cyril is not from the nobility, still now he is a knight.
"Any Problem, Maria?"
Cyril just died. No dead person suddenly comes back to life unless possessed. Maria must not get too close to this man. Whatever happens. Even though Cyril's friend's offer was tempting.
"Can we be friends, Maria?" Cyril repeated his request.
Maria looked down. "A servant like me doesn't deserve your company," said Maria.
Nobles or cunning knights, don't want pure friendship. Cyril wanted something from Maria. Maybe a way to escape or a body.
Inside that man is a demon! A demon who will devour you if you show interest! Maria's heart screamed out in warning. However, she still felt curious. The question is pressing to be issued.
Cyril's dark pupils stared at Maria for a long time. The darkness that would devour anyone.
"What is it? You keep looking at me strangely! There is a problem?"
"No sir, I'm going out now!" Maria lowered her head deeply and turned to leave.
Maria should have been keeping watch at the door, not inside with Cyril. The man inside wasn't the mercenary who usually ignored Maria, but a demon.
***
Does he think I'm a devil?
Cyril scratched his neck. The door opened and Cyril saw a hallway. He saw Maria disappear as soon as the door closed. Cyril is now alone. He reached for the mirror again and looked at his reflection. "I don't look like a demon!" The image of handsome Cyril with a scar on the left forehead looked back at him.
"I need to ask someone!" said Cyril quietly.
He dragged himself to the edge of the bed, placing his bare feet on the varnished wooden planks. Cold. Cyril missed the small room he had rented before being thrown here. He was curious about himself falling asleep after reading the novel.
He stepped to the window. During the trip, he did light gymnastics. Gymnastics ensures that the whole body is fine. Arriving at the window, he could see the garden outside. Apparently where he was on the second floor. Many people were walking downstairs. Their clothes are the same as Maria's. The only difference may be gender.
He pushed the window open. The cold air made Cyril shiver. It's easy for him to drink liquor. The flowers in the garden have already appeared. However, there are remnants of snow in some places.
"But, choking on your vomit is embarrassing."
The maid who happened to be downstairs looked up. They were surprised to see Ciryl. So Cyril decided to close the window. To those people, he is a demon now, not his real self.
Cyril thought there was nothing wrong with him trying to get out. He crossed the room and knocked on the door three times. Maria is out there.
"Maria, are you outside?"
"You can't go out sir," Maria said from behind.
"Why? I'm not a demon, Maria! I'm the same Cyril as before!" Cyril was frustrated by the accusations against him. He's not real, but he's not a demon either. "Maria, I won't make any trouble! Can you get someone to come over so I can get out of here?"
"Sorry sir, I can't! Everyone told me to stay here!" Maria seems to be a very dedicated person.
"Then tell me what I want to know!" Cyril asked.
"I will try to give you the answer you want, sir!" This means that Maria will only tell general things.
"Can you tell me what year it is?" The first thing Cyril had to figure out was the current time.
Does Maria need to look at the calendar first? Did she leave the front door now? Cyril was interested in peeping. However, he had a hunch that he would get into trouble if he peeked.
"It is currently the sixth month of the year 723 in the Empire of the Empress, Master!"
In a year I will die?
Cyril was surprised by the fact that the time was now. He began pacing back and forth to think of a book storyline that could be remembered. Currently, Cyril has not met the heroine who was rescued.
"Maria, was I just made a knight?" asked Cyril again.
"Yes sir, you were just appointed two months ago. Do you remember anything?"
This means that Cyril still has many problems until he finally meets the female lead, Adriana. At first, he will be assigned to be the royal bodyguard of the crown prince.
"Yeah, I think I'm starting to remember everything."
"I will give you the answer that I know!" Maria sounded enthusiastic.
"Is there someone with you, Maria?"
Maria didn't answer. However, Cyril could hear footsteps.
So Cyril decided to return to his bed, and sat there, waiting quietly. The door opened wide and the man with the sword who had talked about the possibility of life after death entered. His eyes assessed Cyril.
"Do you recognize me, Cyril?" asked the man who came.
No. Cyril of course did not know this person. It was the first time he met this man who entered. Just before Cyril answered, a slide-film-like image rushed in. He saw the person in front of him looking down. The person said: People like you are not needed in this place!
Cyril knew that this man was a noble and was one of the people who locked Cyril in the story.
