A Porter Kidnapped by a Wizard - A Porter Kidnapped by a Wizard chapter 29
029. Interstitial
I don’t know why. What was certain was that Endymion expressed strong disapproval of the unicorn’s horn.
‘Why?’
The horn of a unicorn is not common, and this must be the first time seeing it.
Selene asked the reason for that appearance, but Endymion did not answer. Thanks to her, her insides only burned.
‘What did I do wrong?’
I’ve never done anything that could be called wrong, but that kind of reaction makes me look back. What you did to him in the past.
‘Maybe… Things that had been piled up before may have exploded at this opportunity.’
Once I thought about it, there were a few corners where I could figure it out. It was difficult for Selene to determine exactly what was wrong, but she came to the conclusion that from Endymion’s point of view, she might have been displeased.
‘It’s embarrassing….’
Then how should I ease Endymion’s mood? Passing it over as if nothing had happened was something that really stung Selene’s conscience.
I don’t know if it was before. Before she becomes aware of her own feelings….
Now that I’ve figured it out, the reality is that it’s hard to go out as nonchalantly and brazenly as before.
Selene, she was thinking and thinking She decided to go to the room where he was. If we meet, she wonders if she will be able to find some kind of answer, it was because of her feeble expectations.
Selene tried to open the door, but at that moment she pricked her ears.
“Not good…”
From beyond the door, a low voice came from inside the room. It was a very small sound, but if she listened in the quiet of the mansion, she couldn’t hear anything she said.
‘What… That’s not good… ?’
It was difficult to understand. Selene hesitated for a moment as he muttered in a pensive voice as if he had just woken up.
‘Maybe… ‘
Is it because I’m still angry… ?
Selene had never seen Endymion react so violently. Maybe that’s why she seems to be more heartbroken. As usual, she opened the door right away, but after hesitating for a while, she gently knocked on the door.
Then go in. Even though she wouldn’t ask permission, knocking on her door was tantamount to an unspoken apology. If you’re angry, I’m looking at you so much, so please take it into consideration, such an apology.
“…….”
As soon as I entered, I saw Endymion, still tied to her chair, with her head slightly bowed. Selene got the impression that he looked a little tired.
He noticed that Selene had entered her and lifted her head. Her tired eyes, like hers, looked at her and asked her questioningly.
“Why are you knocking on the door?”
Even Selene can’t tell you that, as if to make an excuse, but she’s ashamed, so she blurts out her mouth for no reason.
“…This is my heart.”
Her proud Selene was ashamed to admit that she had noticed her.
‘No… I didn’t mean to say this.’
After speaking, Selene belatedly regretted it. Originally, she wanted to check on Endymion’s mood, because she gave her a piece of cake to make him feel bad.

Meanwhile, as if it was her wrong answer, Endymion was taken aback by her expression for a moment, but as always, she recovered her original color.
“Is that so?”
The answer seemed insignificant. Selene, on the other hand, was taken aback by that appearance.
‘Why aren’t you angry?’
Why is it such a trivial thing?
Selene’s eyes trembled as she tried to overcome what she thought was not even herself.
‘No… I’ll be glad if they let me go.’
Why are you trying to find the reason? Good is good, Selene asked insinuatingly, leaving behind a feeling of awkwardness.
“Now… Are you a little less angry?”
“Angry… When do you mean I’m angry?”
Lies. This is a blatant lie Sele had an almost certain faith in that.
She didn’t miss the moment of silence he let out. He was obviously angry, but he was lying to avoid showing it, so there was a gap in the middle of his speech.
“As expected…”
Like a green sprout withers, Selene withered in an instant.
Her heart felt dry.
‘Why don’t you express your feelings honestly?’
If you have a complaint, it would be nice if you could tell it as it is…. It seemed that Endymion had never revealed his true feelings.
‘What are you hiding so tightly?’
Selene did not know why Endymion was hiding it so much. So, she was frustrated.
‘Come to think of it… ‘
I remember reading something like that one day. It was a book about personal relationships rather than about love… Anyway, on one page of the book, there was this writing written on it.
-Being less talkative means not expecting anything, and not revealing one’s true feelings to you means that there are no expectations placed on you.
“…No way.”
Selene muttered to herself. Endymion standing in front of her poured out a curious gaze, but she didn’t have enough time to care about it right now.
‘I’m not sure….’
It was hopeless. Indeed, she did not think that what she saw in the book would be the same as Endymion’s heart.
‘But just in case… ‘
What if Endymion really lost interest in him, what if her expectations fell?
Selene was terribly afraid of such a situation.
She didn’t show it, but she was trembling inside.
‘It hurts… ‘
She was so anxious that her heart was beating so hard that it hurt. Selene clenched her fists in her bitterness, then let go of the strength in her hands.
Even at this moment, Selene couldn’t bear to ask.
She really told herself about how he didn’t expect anything. She
She asked… To see if it’s real
* * *
Her Selene’s condition is strange. Endymion has been feeling that way lately.
‘I’ve never been angry… I may misunderstand that I am angry alone.’
She tried to clear up the misunderstanding, but it wasn’t long before she gave up. That would also be the case, the more she tried to solve her misunderstanding of Selene, the more her twisted ropes got tangled instead of being solved, the more the sheep problem fell into her labyrinth.
Realizing that there was no solution for her, Endymion gave up halfway.
‘It will get better with time.’
No matter how bad the misunderstanding may be, it was Endymion who thought that if he showed a consistent image, it would be resolved, and that time would solve it.
He let out a low sigh at the thought of his bone pounding and stared blankly at his floor.
‘So much time has passed.’
Anyway, if you think about it, isn’t it your situation that is urgent right now? I don’t know how long I’ve been tied up like this.
There was no such thing as sore socks or itchy body because I had never washed.
‘Magic is convenient.’
Because Selene relieved all her convenience with the wonder of magic. Thanks to that, she felt like a doll as she was sitting, but what… It might not be a bad treatment-
‘… Is it gaslighting?’
For a moment, I almost thought it was not bad treatment…. Even though I can’t say that the treatment is good from the point of being in this situation.
Endymion felt that his head was getting weirder.
‘Escape… ‘
Those words that I always repeat in my heart. I was really worried about whether or not I should really do this.
It was then.
-Can I help you?
As if it was going through my head, it was only a fleeting moment, but I heard it clearly. Endymion’s eyes widened at him.
‘Who is it?’
-… ….
There was no answer. Silence lingers.
‘I… Did I hear that wrong?’
At the moment when I seriously doubted whether I was mentally deranged due to my long imprisonment-
Beep-!
The door opened violently. There was only one person who could be scared to come in.
“Why do you…?”
“…….”
Selene was silent. She just ran her eyes through her room, trying to find something of her own.
“No… nothing.”
Selene frowned and shook her head. It looks like something is going on, but it’s not me.
‘Something seems to be happening.’
I know even if you don’t tell me. Her eyebrows were close to the real ones. It was difficult for her to be fooled, as she would get sick if she lied.
‘Is it related to the voice I just heard?’
The timing was tricky. As soon as he heard the voice, he opened the door and came in, so it was only natural that Endymion’s reasoning would lead to such a development.
‘It sounds like it wasn’t an hallucination after all.’
I’m glad. He got really serious at the moment and wondered if he should get out of here before he went mad.
‘By the way… What is that voice?’
It was a high-pitched voice like that of a boy before his voice changed. Endymion was sure that it was not the voice of a ghost.
‘I’m hiding all my energy right now. But it’s ridiculous to hear a ghost’s voice.’
Then you should consider other possibilities. But there was nothing Endymion could guess.
‘Who the hell are you….’
With common sense, how many people would send their voices into other people’s heads? If she had that kind of ability, she would probably be a mage like Selene.
‘… Wizard?’
Come to think of it, I thought she might really be a wizard. As soon as a thought flashed in Endymion’s head, the voice came just in time.
-Can I help you? So you can escape
