Chapter 93
A Snake Does Not Shed Tears
Dandolo Mansion, Family Conference Room.
The chairperson's seat there belongs to the Family Head.
Which is to say, it belongs to Rico Dandolo.
But right now, Tilda was sitting in that seat as if it were only natural.
She was using that place as if it were only natural for her to do so.

"Henri?"
"He said there's something to handle regarding the trade matter, so he won't be returning until tomorrow."

"I know that too. How persistently he clings. What I mean is, is there no chance he'll suddenly barge in?"
"There is not."
"Then tonight, this mansion is mine?"
Tilda smiled.
Е̃ ǹ ǔ m а̊
"Before long, this Dandolo Mansion will become Lady Tilda's."
"You will be able to stand proudly atop this mansion not as a daughter-in-law, but as the Family Head."
Sycophants seizing the moment to curry favor.
They were all people cooperating with Tilda after being promised a cut.

"So it shall be. Then we must focus on the work, mustn't we?"
Tilda prepared to deepen the schemes she had set in motion between Stefan and Merkat one by one.
Enŭ m̊а̌
"Stefan is currently in a standoff with Herman. He's trying to oust him over management rights, but it doesn't seem easy."
"What about Merkat?"
"Sharpening his knife would be the apt expression. He's preparing to clash head-on with Stefan."
"Even so, a sword is closer than money. Wouldn't it be better to intensify the pressure on Merkat?"
Tilda fiddled with her lips before answering.
"No, I just need to push Stefan. Kicking that bastard out of this game is the most important thing."

"Understood."
"The other side's groundwork is solid right now, isn't it? If we spread the evidence that the mercenary company is actually a bandit group throughout the Empire, they'll collapse in an instant."
"Correct."
"Then we'll prepare as you say."
Minions moving smoothly on their own.
Tilda wore a satisfied smile.
W e b̌n̆ оv̆ĕ l̆ Enǔ m а
Everything is going smoothly.
It was like watching the dance of puppet dolls placed on a small theater stage.

She was intoxicated by the ecstasy that everything would soon be in her grasp.
'If I just find the will soon, everything will work out......'
The will's content was that after Rico Dandolo's death, it would be passed to Henri.
Until Henri's child turns 19 and can fend for themselves, no one else would be made successor, and all assets would be handed to the Vice President.
Ě n umа̌.i ď
For Tilda, who wanted the Dandolo Company, it was the most fatal will, and that was why she was going to such trouble.
Everything will proceed like dominoes.
The start is small, but by the end it will summon a ripple so large that no one could dare stop it.
She becomes the owner of everything.

At that moment, a mansion servant hurriedly opened the door and entered, speaking into Tilda's ear.
"Miss, there's good news. We've received information that the will has been obtained."
Е n̆ũ m_ā
"Is that really true?"
Can things go this smoothly?
Tilda's eyes sparkled, and the servant nodded.
"The servants delivering the will are currently waiting at the front gate."
"Got it. Let's go."
A situation that couldn't be more perfect.

Tilda walked to the front gate with light steps, leading the servants.
"What the?"
But there was no one at the front gate.
Just in case, she walked to the front gate and checked outside, but not even the nose of a carriage was visible.
'They said they came to deliver the will, so where the hell are they?'
Just as Tilda's irritation was about to flare up,
Е̇ n u̇m а̀
Suddenly a fierce gust of wind blew, throwing open the windows and extinguishing all the flames on the chandelier.
"Oh my?"
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Where did this gust come from?"
"What are you doing? Call a mage! Relight the chandelier right now!"
The servants panicked, and the butlers commanded calmly.
The mages belatedly began chanting to light the candles on the chandelier with magic.
Ёnumа. іd̊
That was when it happened.
The place that had sunk into darkness brightened in an instant.
No, precisely, only a part of it brightened.
It was just like a stage spotlight.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
That light illuminated the top of the central staircase, drawing everyone's attention.
There, a woman stood.
W е b n̊ o_v ёl Ĕn ǔ ḿ а
A pink-haired woman wearing a mask.
At the sight of her, people each let out a word.
"What is that unsightly getup?"
"Oh my, how embarrassing......"
She wore a bunny girl outfit that revealed her body contours, the kind you'd see in Halim.
She wore a swallow-tail coat so her skin wasn't exposed, but in the conservative Empire, the fact that her body lines were revealed made it an intolerable appearance.

Wearing a white mask suitable for a ball, she opened her mouth.
"Let all the world fall silent!"
The woman shouted vigorously like a circus showman.
"Injustice arrives and the world falls into chaos!"
Awkwardness could be felt, but she was hiding it by raising her voice.
"I descend here from the shadows to enforce justice!"
Е̂ń ǔ ḿ ā
At her appearance, people whose gazes were captured each spat out a word.
"Who the hell are you!? Do you know where this is to intrude?!"

When one servant asked, the mysterious pink-haired mask laughed hahaha and shouted.
"As for me, I am Pepe of the Bunny Swallows! For the justice that all turn away from, to stop the atrocities committed in this mansion, I have come to this place!"
"What?! How dare you spout such nonsense in a place like this?!"
"Where else would it be? The whole world knows this is a place where all wealth and evil gather to weave wicked schemes!"
Е̄ ň ǔ mа
The mysterious masked woman making exaggerated gestures while tapping her staff on the floor.
The servants threw words in indignation.
"Lord Dandolo has fed so many people, how can you say such things!"
"Rico Dandolo! I didn't know there were so many loyal to his children! But why do you only spew loyalty with your mouths?"

"What bullshit!? Do we look like petty bastards who don't even serve the Lord?!"
"Truly lamentable beyond measure! You are blind men with open eyes, deaf mutes with hearing! You let a witch into your house, yet how do you fail to see that witch?"
W ӗ bn оv́ el̃ Е n̂ ū m а
"Witch? Just who is the witch?"
At the word witch, everyone flustered and looked around.
Tilda Pascal also looked around anxiously.
She hoped that damn phantom thief had stepped on the wrong foot.
"Tilda Pascal!"
The woman called her name precisely.

Then another spotlight illuminated the spot where Tilda stood.
All eyes focused on her.
"You dirty witch's dog. Why do you pretend to be a frightened dog?"
Tilda, receiving all gazes, was flustered.
"You ate your father-in-law, ate your husband, and now even try to eat your own flesh and blood, you wicked snake. Your evil deeds end here. I will show you clearly right here what the reins are that you hold over this mansion!"
Just as the masked woman tried to pull something from inside her jacket.
Е n̄ umа .їd̃
At the sight of that object, Tilda's pupils shrank.
"There she is! The intruder!"

At that moment, countless soldiers rushing through the door.
Crossbows were gripped in their hands.
"Fire!"
Puh-shung!
W̌e b n o v e ľ Еn ũ m̃ а̀
Crossbow bolts flew toward the pink-haired phantom thief.
Puh-puh-pung!
Right before the crossbow bolts touched her body.
Pure white smoke burst from the mysterious pink-haired phantom thief's body.

It completely blocked the view of the surroundings.
"Kyaak!"
W̃ е̃b ñ о̂ ṽ е l _En u m̊_а
"Cough, cough!"
"Intruder! Don't let her escape!"
The maids evacuated, and the soldiers moved busily.
In the midst of that, Tilda was looking up at the spot where the pink-haired phantom thief had stood.
'Where.'
To watch that woman's movements within the pure white smoke.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
'Where is she?'
She had to find her.
She had to find that woman before anyone else.
"Miss!"
At that moment, someone grabbed Tilda's body and pulled.
"Evacuate this way!"
Ѐ ǹ uḿа
Thinking Tilda had momentarily blanked out from shock, the servant led her away.
She acted like a flustered person and let herself be led by that hand.

"We'll escort you to the shelter right now. There......!"
"No!"
Tilda cut off those words.
"No need to go all the way to the shelter. I'll hide in my room."
Еňǔm̆ а̂. іd̂
"Understood. Then this way......!"
The servant escorted Tilda and guided her to Tilda's room.
"You must not come out! Please wait until the situation settles."
"Got it."

The door closed.
Tilda paced around with an anxious face.
W ѐ.b̌ n̈ о v е̄ l Ĕ n ùm̂ ȧ.
She poked the door with her index finger.
At that moment, a crimson membrane spread from her finger and completely covered the door.
Now no one can cross this door.
"What the hell, that crazy bitch?"
Tilda's face twisted viciously.
Drawing attention in that embarrassing outfit, calling herself Pepe.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
"Bunny Swallows? What the hell is that? Just which bastard tried to screw me over like that?"
An unheard-of organization and a phantom thief.
She also wondered who was behind it.
Stefan? Merkat? Herman?
Or some dirty trick Rico Dandolo set up long ago, before she poisoned him?
But that's not the problem.

'How did she know I made a contract with a witch?'
The Garden Contract has the advantage of not being detected unless you use magic right in someone's face.

Tilda had always used magic cautiously.
With caution upon caution, she had made this mansion her own.
There was no way they could know.
'Even assuming that was exposed......'
Е̇.ń um̆а . іd
There was one thing she couldn't understand.
How did they notice the medium?
The thing the phantom thief who introduced herself as Pepe tried to expose.
She was interrupted the moment she tried to pull it out, but Tilda caught a glimpse of its outline.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
Something thin and small enough to hide in one's bosom, convenient.
And the medium Tilda had set up also took such a form.
Е̌ nǔ m̌ а̃._і̃ d̀
Perhaps......
'No way.'
Tilda couldn't be certain.
Even if she wanted to dismiss it as just intimidation, it was hard to be sure if that was really the case.
She had to check.
Tilda moved.
Dilarang mengopy novel dari Enuma.id.
In her spacious room, the place she moved to was the desk drawer.
Where the calligraphy painting depicting her likeness was placed.
She opened the drawer.
Inside was a single flipped-over calligraphy painting frame.
She tried to flip the frame over to check.
"I wondered if it'd be somewhere in the room, and there it was?"
Еn ù m̊å_.і̆d̈
A voice piercing the silence.
Tilda startled and turned around.

In that spot where no one should have been, a man stood.
Brown hair tied in a topknot.
Wearing a mask like that embarrassing phantom thief, he was looking here.
"You, what are you? How did you get in here......?"
Enumа
"How do you think? When that pink phantom thief drew attention? Or from when I grabbed your wrist and led you?"
Only then could Tilda grasp the outline of this absurd situation.
The woman who spoke like a showman was nothing but bait.
The real purpose was to make her approach the medium and check it.

The brown-haired man gestured with his chin and asked.
"That thing in your hand, is it the real Garden Contract medium?"
Ӗn_ū.m̌ ǎ
Tilda reflexively hugged the frame to her chest and screamed.
"Die!!"
At that moment, a magic circle formed and a snake's head popped out from within.
The snake with white scales and golden eyes was the classic form recorded in literature.
"Wow, she really contracted with Yor Philias. As expected of Black Bandana's intelligence."
Yor Philias's Snake.

It possessed a deadly poison that would melt the victim without a trace the moment it bit.
That snake flicked its tongue, encircling Tilda and threatening the intruder.
"Cute."
Jed is of the Red-Eyed Tribe.
The Red-Eyed Tribe possesses the ability to scatter a magic circle's mana and nullify it.
Even so, Jed did not reveal those eyes.
Ẅ е̇ b̃ n̊ о́ v ё ľ Е̇n̂u m̌ӑ
The reason was simple.
No need to use a cattle-killing knife to catch a chicken.

He leaned his body forward and dashed like a spring.
"Kill! Snakes! Hurry up and kill that bastard!"
Dozens of snakes moved noisily, chasing the man's figure.
But they couldn't catch up to that figure.
Ė nŭ mа
That man was an acrobat who easily dodged two wolf monsters' attacks.
Seu-seu-seuk—.
Thinly sliced aura left a whitish afterimage as it moved.
Each time the aura's line was drawn, Yor's snakes had their heads and bodies separated, rolling on the floor.

It didn't take long for dozens of snakes to become dozens of meat chunks.
"Eut!!"
Ën u m̃ӓ .іd̆
Tilda's face changes.
She resolved to transform the snakes' faces and spray poison.
But by the time she finished her judgment, the brown hair was already right in front of her.
"Tteok!"
"Kyaak!"
He struck the back of her hand hard with the dagger hilt.

Tilda's hand holding the medium just let go.
The brown hair nimbly snatched it and fell back.
"Let's see. The medium our ruthless witch prospect set up is......"
The brown hair flipped the frame, took out the calligraphy painting, held it with both hands, and exclaimed "Heo."
"Wow, this is something I never imagined......"
"G-give it back!! Right now!"
Е̇n̈ū ḿ å
Tilda screamed as if shrieking.
But it didn't work on the brown hair.

The brown hair tore it vigorously with force.
Jji-jjik—!
Paper tearing easily like a cheap flyer on the marketplace floor.
"Ah......!"
Е̌ n̊ ũm̊ а̃_..і̄ d̃
Then crimson energy began to rise from the torn paper.
That power grew stronger, condensed, and caused an air rupture.
Kuung!
"Uwat!?"

Jed's body was pushed back.
Tilda, who was far away, leapt like a beast and picked up the paper scraps.
W е́ b̄ n оv̄е̂l Е ṅǔm̃_а̀
"No......!"
Tilda grabbed the paper scraps and tried to forcibly stick them back together.
"Aaa......! No......!! This can't be happening!"
Spilled water cannot be gathered, and a broken medium cannot be restored.
At that moment, an ominous energy began to envelop the surroundings.
She feels a bad premonition.

"Time to exit, I suppose. Well then!"
The brown hair quickly left the spot to avoid getting caught up in it.
Tilda couldn't execute such amazing movements.
She knelt in place, trembling.
It comes.
He comes.
E n̊ ù m̈ ǎ_.і̀ d̆
Seu-reu-reu-reu—.
What rang in her ears was the sound of a snake's tongue.

Something long and wet sweetly licks her earlobe.
-Uhuhu......
And an ominous laugh.
Unable to even look back, she froze in place.
W̌ е́b̂nо̆vе l̇ Е ñ ü m̀ ӓ
Tilda's complexion spread pale.
-Poor Tilda. Pitiful Tilda. The contract is broken.
"N-no, it's not."
Tilda replied trembling.

"I can fix it, Lord Yor! Please......!"
-No, you failed, child. Didn't I tell you to protect our contract's medium by any means? But you failed to protect it.
W̆.ē b̀ ň о́v̆ e l̆ E ňúm а̇
The voice laughed as if enjoying it.
Tilda begged her again.
"I'll kill that man! I'll prove my ability!"
-No need, child. From the moment you harbored desires unbefitting your station, your ruin was already foretold.
Long flesh brushing past her cheek.
What followed was ridicule.

Tilda shed tears drop by drop and begged.
"Please don't abandon me. I'll become your loyal dog. Please, just one more chance......"
She begged and begged again.
The answer that returned was this.
-Snakes don't shed tears, you incompetent thing.
As that energy disappeared, she felt a change.
En̈ um ã
Something that had enveloped the mansion vanished with a hwaak.
The sorcery that made up Tilda Pascal unraveled.
