May eventually closed her eyes, enjoying the warmth that had become familiar over the past few days. For a moment, her body became even more languid. An artificial drowsiness induced by the compass was rising. 'I'm not sure if this should be called a bad sign either....' It felt too good, and when she slept and woke up like this, her body felt refreshed and her mind clear.... That seemed like a positive phenomenon by any measure. Johan had asked her to tell him immediately if anything unusual…-

"...Even if something bad happens, I'll resolve it before you even notice. By any means necessary." It wasn't just empty words. Since he had already put May in danger before, it was a pledge to never do so again. Of course, it might not sound very sincere given his earlier statement about using her as bait. May, pondering Johan's words, suddenly made a serious expression. "Johan, you’re... too kind." Following that statement came words like philanthropy, altruism... terms that didn't suit him…

To be caught so openly in this strange act of greeting the strange object.... May, who was internally screaming, looked at the man standing silently with trembling eyes. Dominic's face was cold, with emotions impossible to read. He looked a bit tired, but he certainly didn't appear surprised. Still, she needed to make some excuse, but her mouth wouldn't easily open. It felt like searching for an exit in a place surrounded by thick walls on all sides. ...What had she said last time? "Th-that thing…

'Still, it doesn't feel as fierce as I expected....' Considering how worried he had been. But it wouldn't always be like this. Today it behaved relatively tamely, but next time who knows how it might act. Now that the compass had reappeared, it might make attempts like today at any time.... Despite searching the storage room, he ultimately couldn't find anything suitable to be a vessel. 'I'll need to look more, but....' Somehow he had a feeling that finding the object would be more difficult…

'She definitely had no family except her dead parents.' He still couldn't help but laugh hollowly when thinking about the maid who had completely paid off her debt and run away while he was gone. It was like a well-trained dog suddenly breaking its leash and escaping. So he needed an even stronger leash. One that could keep May bound to him even if he ended up in a political marriage. As Aiden pondered methods, he suddenly recalled the laughable story Derrick had told him. "Though mother hates…

'So I'm the one harming her....' The servant said the opposite—that he was the impurity. Standing at this collision point, Dominic's gaze lowered. He didn't believe Johan's words at face value. He was still skeptical. However, if what he said was true.... Was it right to leave her behind? And if he left the mansion now, could he avoid the unpleasant discomfort... another kind of guilt? Dominic easily confirmed his answer to that. If he turned around and left now, that memory would keep…

"......" May's lips parted foolishly as she awkwardly stopped laughing at the sight of the man with his brow furrowed. "Um...." She saw the man's eyebrows twitch at her change of expression. He soon shifted his gaze and narrowed his eyes as if unable to understand the existence of the object fidgeting near May's face. Johan, who was beside him, waved to May. Only when she saw his face with an inappropriate eye-smile did May come to her senses and belatedly grabbed the compass that had been…

"So you were wearing your hair down because that young master was gone. This style suits you much better." "Ah, Aiden went to a banquet...." Moreover, May accepted it as if it were nothing. As if that level of skinship between them was nothing unusual. Dominic felt a more severe headache than when May had sucked his penis while he was asleep, or when she suddenly reached out to embrace him. It was because he had no idea how to make sense of the situation before him. Such impurities weren't part…

Feed her an aphrodisiac? At this absurd assumption, Johan let out a short hollow laugh and said, "If I had, would I have left her behind? For whose benefit?" "......It's better not to deny it." His tone suggested he was already convinced. Johan strongly shook off the man's hand. It wasn't just because he was irritated by the outrageous misunderstanding. From the second floor, in the direction of May's room, an unsettling energy was stealthily approaching. The compass in his pocket also began to…

His adoptive father, whom he thought was asleep, muttered with one arm covering his eyes, "She even ruined the drawings she had drawn...." Dominic's eyebrows twitched at this story he was hearing for the first time. Of course, disorganized information often came to him this way, so the situation itself wasn't new. Drunk Herman would often spill words from within like tears. "All of them?" At his question, Herman's voice continued slowly, "Yes. Since her father kept embracing those things all…
