The Possessor Has No Desire To Be a Protagonist

015. What are you to me? (One)

* * *

Sepia saw a terrible past in the siren’s song.

But that wasn’t all she saw.

Angrily, she bit her lip.

‘Ethan… . Ethan is cheeky.’

It was.

It wasn’t just the past that she saw.

Due to the nature of siren songs, it also showed all kinds of horrific scenes that contributed to individual anxiety.

What she saw in that hallucination were Tia Erze and Ethan.

The two clung to each other, laughing and laughing.

The two of us walked around the city as if we were on a date… .

We sat together on a bench and laughed and chatted… .

He hid behind the wall and watched them all.

Why did you see that scene?

Maybe because I saw the two of them chatting in a face-to-face match?

Sepia grinned at this.

In the face-to-face match, Sepia saw Tia and Edan chatting together.

A few days later, he also tailed Ethan.

He had Vivian watch Ethan leave the academy.

‘I confirmed Ethan was leaving.’

Sepia put on a hood and followed Ethan.

Ethan stopped by a bookstore while walking around the city.

And I met Tia.

The two had a brief conversation in the adult novel section.

My stomach was boiling.

Sepia turned around until the two left.

And they checked the book they bought.

It wasn’t difficult to check.

I just checked the list of empty books.

‘The Warrior’s Secret’

And ‘training warriors and corrupt bitches (top)’

It was absurd.

Were you two reading this book?

When did you become so close that you turn around a book like this?

Besides, it was 19 gold.

I had never seen Ethan buy a book like this.

‘… It’s dirty and nasty.’

still… .

Still, as a master, it was necessary to know the tastes of his servants.

To think he likes things like this because he’s a man too.

Sepia rolled her eyes and picked out a book in her shopping cart.

Suddenly, a book came into Sepia’s eyes.

‘Master, I will never cheat on you again.’

At that title, Sepia pulled out a book.

On the cover, an aristocratic woman was dragging a prosecutor on a leash.

Recommendations were written on the back.

‘Tame the master’s servant! Masterpiece recommendation ★★★★☆’

‘Masterpiece! Three-step combo of regret, exhaustion, and tears’

‘If this book is not interesting, you don’t have to read the novel!’

When I tried to buy a book, the owner asked me to show my ID. Sepia silently raised the money.

When I came out, Vivian’s report had come.

Sepia, who received a text message with a crystal ball, responded roughly and returned to the dormitory.

―After contacting him, Ethan has returned to the academy.

-Okay.

Back at the dormitory, Sepia put the books on the desk.

Vivian was supposed to stay in a servants-only accommodation.

She opened the book and flipped through it.

Like a wizard with good understanding, she read the novel quickly.

The content of the novel was that an escort knight was attracted to another lady without the young lady’s knowledge and then came back in tears.

‘sorry. Master, never again… .’

‘I am an excellent wizard. If it’s power, then it’s power, if it’s looks, it’s not inferior to anyone. Why do I have to accept you back?’

Sepia wanted to underline that line.

After reading the book on the spot, she closed the novel until it clicked.

On that day, Sepia signed up for a basic resistance acquisition class. It was all because of Ethan.

The last thing Sephia saw in Siren’s Song was Tia and Ethan’s marriage.

Tia had a baby with dark hair in her arms.

His clenched hands trembled with anger.

‘It’s mine, why are you taking it? A commoner merchant who dares to take my servant… ‘

Even there, Sepia was spying on the two near the cabin.

‘Why am I stealing both of them? Power is power, money is money, appearance is appearance, talent is talent. There’s nothing good about it?’

I was angry even though I knew it.

However, I could hardly take a step back.

Ethan and Tia were laughing and exchanging conversations.

‘Honey, do you think someone is watching us?’

At that, Ethan stood up and approached the cabin.

Sepia couldn’t bear to take a step.

Before long, like a nightmare, Ethan’s eyes met.

‘Ah, who is this? Aren’t you Sepia von Lognes?’

Ethan was laughing like a despicable bully.

‘Huh, was the lord spying on our family? What a nasty hobby.’

‘I didn’t steal… .’

‘Go back. I have no intention of accepting you as a concubine.’

I’m like that.

Sepia didn’t say anything and just clenched her fists.

how much time has passed

Still, I wanted to say something.

‘You… , you are my servant!’

‘servant? Are you a servant? You’ve been having fun while I haven’t seen you.’

‘I am your employer. Why did the owner… .’

‘When did I stop being your servant?’

Ah, Sepia lowered her head.

In a hallucination, Ethan had left the Logness family right after graduating from the academy. Only then did the memory come back, as if recalling something forgotten.

‘What do you like about her?’

Asking that, Sepia’s pride hurt.

‘She’s more beautiful than you, has a better personality, and has more money. Let me say it one more time. Don’t approach my family.’

Leaving those words behind, Ethan walked away.

Sepia grabbed the hem of her dress and returned.

Welcome. It’s just welcome.

Yes, it is an illusion that can be waved at any time with will.

But I felt dirty.

Soon, the siren’s song suddenly stopped.

‘I’ll take a break for 10 minutes! It was easy for everyone, then come back.’

Sepia turned her head to her gaze.

There, Ethan was looking at him.

Seeing the stupid expression, I was filled with anger again.

Sepia got up from the spot and went outside.

I didn’t have to learn mental resistance anyway.

As long as she used her magic, she could shake off any number of mind-type attacks like the Siren’s song.

And he was the lord and head of Logness.

The Lognes family, which has produced high-ranking imperial mages for generations.

That’s why Sepia also had a good understanding of magic.

The reason she fell under the mental magic was simply because she was curious about the Siren’s song.

Sepia, who was walking down the aisle, stopped abruptly.

‘Why am I thinking of you? A servant should think of his master. I’m sorry… .’

* * *

Fortunately, it seemed to adapt to the siren’s song.

Again, the terrible dark history was re-edited and shown, but it felt like watching the movie again.

how to say

Horror movies I’ve seen for the first time are scary, but I feel like I’ve learned where and how to be scared.

When I checked the skill window, the mental system resistance had risen to level 2.

And again, the time for interpersonal warfare has returned.

“Hey, Ethan, I made that necklace, can you take a look at it?”

What Pia showed me was a replica of the necklace I was carrying.

A necklace made of magnets seemed to be better than a necklace I made roughly. The magnet part was well finished, and the leather was tough.

“Did you make it yourself?”

“yes. If I make it like this, can I use it for the necklace battle?”

“Yeah, great.”

No kidding, that was great.

After hearing my honest impressions, Pia returned to her place and competed with her partner.

Some of them stopped the interpersonal battle and looked in the direction of Pia.

“Ethan, you are quite popular.”

It was a rough voice.

Turning around, Tia acted coldly with her arms crossed.

“Would you like to talk to me for a minute?”

“Now?”

“Yes, I have something to tell you.”

I apologized to the surroundings for a while and headed to the end of the arena.

“What is it? Leave your things at the dorm… .”

“Items are also items, but I want to sign a contract with Ethan.”

“A contract?”

“Yes, I want to monopolize the necklace made by Ethan in our guild.”

So it meant that I wanted to buy a necklace for skirmishing that I made.

There was nothing special, so I didn’t think of anything special, but from Tia’s point of view, it seemed that the instinct as a merchant was activated.

“how about it? What sells the copyright to our top? I will give you ten million ele.”

Indeed, upon receiving the offer, a good idea crossed my mind.

Perhaps the Herze Merchant will make money through the necklace. In addition to all the adventurers’ guilds in the empire, if you’re willing to do so, you can include the necklace battle as an evaluation subject in the lobby.

“As expected, Tia Erze, you have a good eye.”

I paused here for a moment.

“I have a good eye.”

“Yes, to be honest, I was surprised. You knew that I wanted to propose first, so you suggested this first… .”

Of course, Gurada.

Still, I decided to go out boldly.

There is an old saying that even a phrase sounds like the truth three times.

Tia’s expressionless eyes trembled slightly.

“Yes, that’s right. I received Tia’s contact information to propose a business.”

“Um… , I guess so.”

“Please listen to my proposal first.”

“Don’t you like the condition of 10 million ele?”

If it was 10 million ele, it was an amount equivalent to 10 million won in the 21st century won currency standard.

Why is the amount falling apart from the won?

That’s because of the opportunistic setting of the damn firelighter webso writer.

“I would like to change some conditions.”

“Please speak.”

“I would like to receive 10% of the sale price for each necklace sold. They want to receive royalties.”

Tia seemed to be lost in thought for a moment.

You are probably diligently running a calculator in your head.

“The biggest advantage of my proposal is that even if the business fails, the risk factor is lower than the investment cost of buying the copyright directly.”

Of course, Tia would know.

To the extent that each condition has its pros and cons.

“Think carefully. If the Herze Merchant produces and sells exclusive necklaces exclusively for skirmishing, we will be able to deliver them exclusively to all adventurer guilds and academies.”

Obviously, the necklace scramble will be all the rage in the future.

In this respect, knowing the future is a cheat.

After thinking about it, Tia nodded.

“good. let’s trade I will give you 10% of the selling price as copyright fees.”

I wondered if I even had to write a contract, but that was the end of the contract. Tia Ergé was a member of the Ergé Grand Prize, who lived and died by trust.

Originally, Tia’s personality is like that.

Other friends confirmed that I was the first to show off this necklace fight. When the contract ended, Tia turned around first.

“excuse me. Tia.”

I hurriedly grabbed Tia.

“What? Things are already… .”

“When are you going to get your things?”

Tia’s ears turned red. However, he did not lose his characteristic coolness.

“I will contact you.”

After speaking, Tia returned to her place.

It seemed like there was a new hole for the money to come out.
