A Porter Kidnapped by a Wizard - A Porter Kidnapped by a Wizard chapter 17
017. Don’t test me
Purple colored calm land. It was only for a moment that the incontinence went on it.
Damn it- Clink!
The rift opened, and those who crossed through it were two women. One had elegant black hair as if he had been blessed by the night, and the other had unusually purple hair similar to the sky in this world.
Selene, a woman with black hair and a cold impression, looked around as soon as she landed on the ground.
“Where is Endymion?”
“Wait a minute…”
The purple-haired woman, Hecate, closed her eyes tightly and spread her senses. Then, she was the one who detected one of her strange wavelengths in the countless information coming in.
“If you keep going like this, you’ll find something. Maybe Endymion is there…”
What is it? Hecate stopped talking and was startled for a moment.
‘The wavelength is unstable.’
This is a phenomenon that can only be seen when the center supporting a world collapses, but it was not common for that phenomenon to occur.
‘I can’t feel this kind of instability… Am I mistaken?’
No, maybe something really happened to Endymion.
“Selene, let’s go.”
Hecate became urgent for no reason and urged Selene. They quickly headed towards the center where the waves were spreading out.
“Did you find Endymion?”
“Yeah… I guess so…”
To Selene’s question, Hecate responded with a lengthy response. No matter how you look at it, it was because there was no special structure in the wide open plain.
For now, the two of them tried to move forward with the mindset of going a little further. Then then
Kwaang——!!!!!!!!!!
A tremendous vibration shakes the atmosphere.
Hoo-wook——!
As if an explosion had occurred, strong waves spread out in all directions. Selene and Hecate were also affected by it, to the extent that he covered her front with his arm.
Sirrang- It was so intense that their hair fluttered strongly for a while. It goes without saying that Hecate became contemplative, and Selene’s eyes trembled slightly as if she instinctively sensed her sinfulness.
“Endymion…”
Selene couldn’t relax any longer. She muttered Endymion’s name subconsciously, and ran across the plains in a hurry.
‘What’s going on?’
I can’t figure it out. I couldn’t even imagine where such a shock came from or why it happened.
Just… It was the wish that it did not harm Endymion.
‘I wish I knew this… It’s to put restrictions on that ring.’
A ring of obedience received from Vesta. In addition, the restrictions that Selene was placed on were not so great.
I just want to live. Please don’t do anything reckless and stay sane. That’s why she wanted to put his comforting restrictions on her.
Of course, she would have nothing to say if she felt repulsive because even that was regarded as a shackle to Endymion. Even so, it was Selene’s heart that she wanted to promote his safety.
‘Why didn’t I do that earlier?’
I also regret belatedly. The past days when I couldn’t be honest with my feelings. She had to admit that she had been too complacent.
‘It hurts so much that I didn’t know my feelings.’
So, I want to get it back. Selene wished earnestly. Please, may Endymion be safe in this shock wave. I won’t overdo it, so please just stay alive enough to revive.
That’s right. Selene was now also acknowledging it.
The feelings that you have embraced and turned away from are eventually… The fact that it was ‘love’.
“…That’s it.”
She didn’t know how to fall and ran out. She even used magic to reach a place where Endymion might be. Then, suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in Selene’s field of vision.
The back of a figure standing lonely on the plain. Her pure white hair, and her drooping, weak-looking shoulders were one piece.
‘Endymion?’
I didn’t even think about it for a long time. He kicked the ground like a fateful attraction.
She was already convinced. That would be Endymion. In the first place, if it weren’t for him, no one would be here… Even taking that into consideration, Selene’s faith remained firm.
The distance to In-yeong, who was standing behind her, seemed close, but far. However, in the end, Selene, who stood behind him, stopped at a certain distance.
‘Why?’
Worried and worried, she’s been waiting for this moment. Selene hesitated for a moment in the atmosphere where her something was not easy to approach.
Then she calls out his name.
“Endymion.”
“…….”
Do not move. Seeing that, Selene’s anxiety began to creep in little by little. She looked at the back of his head with a puzzled look, and for a moment, she couldn’t stand it any longer and tried to put her hand on her shoulder.
It was then.
Swish, the human figure reflexively avoided it, as if it had eyes behind it. It was the moment when he finally looked back at her.
‘As expected… ‘
Her own guess was correct. Her familiar back was also Endymion’s.
“…Selene-sama?”
“Yeah… it’s me.”
I missed this voice. To the extent that it is even an illusion that it has changed for the better to hear while I haven’t seen it. Selene nodded her head coolly and met her gaze with him.
“What happened here?”
“Nothing happened.”
They tell obvious lies. Thanks to that, Selene’s eyebrows twitched for a moment.
‘Why do you lie like that?’
There was such a big shockwave just now. There’s no way I wouldn’t know that the epicenter of that shockwave was here.
‘Ah, is that so?’
I understand. That guy is circumferentially asking me not to ask now.
Selene finally had time to spare, so she could look around at Endymion’s condition. Outwardly, he wasn’t much different from when he broke up earlier.
Selene had always seen him in his everyday appearance, wearing unburnt clothes and neatly trimmed hair.
But there were definitely corners that caught her eye.
‘Eyes… ‘
It was Endymion’s eyes that clearly felt that he had changed a lot during the time he hadn’t seen them. Selene stared into her blue eyes.
‘Why?’
Selene wanted to ask Endymion right away. Why are your eyes so tired? Why so… Is it so dangerous that I will burst into tears at any moment?
It was a minor difference that others might not notice. However, at least from Selene’s point of view, Endymion’s eyes felt very dangerous now.
“You Endymion…”
So she went to ask. She put her hand on his shoulder and asked if he was okay, and she wanted to give him some comfort.
Now I know that my feelings are for Endymion. It was Selene’s heart to want to be of any help.
But.
As soon as she tried to raise her hand, Endymion reflexively avoided it like before. Seeing that, Selene hardened like a stone statue.
‘Why?’
Selene’s feelings crossed her mind at once. According to her, the words she wanted to ask and the words she wanted to argue ran through her head countless times. But in the end, she was the one who powerlessly lowered her outstretched arm without questioning her.
‘What is the reason?’
Then he met Endymion’s gaze again.
‘For pretending to be so hard… He gestured to avoid me as if he didn’t need me.’
Her clenched fists trembled.
‘Seeing something else without looking at me while making eye contact with me… The reason is that… ‘
Alternatively… I mean, what is it?
I wanted to be comforted. But Selene, who was rejected with a single knife, felt a twist in her stomach even though she knew she shouldn’t be like this.
‘I don’t want to force you… ‘
If this is the case, I don’t know what to do with myself, Selene muttered quietly in her shady inner thoughts.
* * *
The tumultuous incident has also come to an end.
As a result, Endymion’s Musa and Selene helped Hecate, who was extenuating the circumstances, was able to save her life.
And Endymion didn’t say a word about what happened there. Selene also had no intention of persistently prying out.
Just… It was only a change between the two of them.
Crunch square——
Only the sound of the rolling pen resonates in the quiet study. It was like everyday life. Selene writes a journal, and Endymion reads a book beside her.
Looking at this, it seemed like they had completely returned to before the incident.
But if I had to pick another point, what Selene wrote was not a research journal.
‘What method should I use?’
It happened when Endymion went to the wrong world. At the time, she had hoped that she would be able to see his condition through her familiar.
The problem was that the familiar that had passed to the other world didn’t listen to Selene’s control like a kite with a string off.
‘If the same thing happened again… ‘
There is no guarantee that the same thing won’t happen again. Because of this, Selene couldn’t let go of her heart. It was time for her to make preparations.
‘Actually… There is one easiest way.’
Selene thought as she touched the ring on her hand. This is the Ring of Subordination. She was a mysterious item obtained from Vesta.
‘A magical tool with considerable compulsive power that can be used by someone with a higher status than me.’
She didn’t think much of it until she handed it to Endymion for the first time. It was more meaningful to mark it as mine rather than dependent.
‘At that time, it was like that.’
To be honest, in terms of efficiency, the ring of subordination was too much for Endymion to fill the shackles.
‘Because I didn’t know I would change like this.’
Of course, Selene has no regrets either then or now. No, rather, I think it was a good thing to fill Endymion with the ring of subordination now.
‘Because I’ve changed like this.’
It was still an unwilling way. When you start to break the restrictions one by one… I think in the future, even trivial things will be constrained.
Selene knows that too. That her own greed knows no bounds. She has been like that ever since. She was able to reach the level she is now thanks to her personality, but apart from that, she may not have a good temperament in other parts.
‘The Last Bastion.’
Leave it. Till now…. But she also intuits Selene. I don’t think it will take long to unravel this last bastion.
‘What will happen?’
A smile comes out of nowhere. Despite the high possibility of the plan going awry, the madness in her eyes only shone as if she was expecting it.
‘Please don’t put me to the test.’
