“What’s going on?”
This is probably the first time, right?
In Ram’s voice, for the first time, there was a noticeable surge of emotion that others could detect.
In the past, although Ram’s attitude was often aloof, generally speaking, apart from being loyal to Master Roswaal, she didn’t pay much attention to other things.
This seemingly unruly maid was uniquely devoted to Roswaal.
This was evident from the first time Ram met Fang Li. She showed no change in expression upon seeing Fang Li, this dangerous character, together with Emilia.
However, when Emilia mentions bringing Fang Li back to Roswaal’s mansion, the maid’s emotions clearly changed. Ram was worried that Fang Li might pose a threat to Roswaal, hence her reaction at that time.
And this was the second time Fang Li had evoked such a strong reaction from Ram.
And it was much more pronounced and exaggerated than the last time.
However, this was ineffective against Fang Li.
Fang Li had somewhat anticipated Ram’s reaction, and even more so that Rem would definitely not conceal anything Fang Li had said to Ram.
If Ram had an unparalleled loyalty to Roswaal, then Rem’s reverence for her elder sister Ram was unmatched by anyone else. She would never defy her elder sister’s wishes.
So, without even lifting his head, Fang Li continued to flip through the books in front of him.
At that moment, a gust of wind suddenly rose.
“Fura!”
Accompanied by Ram’s voice filled with intense emotion, a gust of wind transformed into sharp, invisible blades, sweeping toward Fang Li like a weasel.
It was Wind Attribute magic and an attack spell at that.
Amidst the howling wind, the invisible blades frictioned against the air and violently shot out and in the blink of an eye, they reached Fang Li.
However, Fang Li still didn’t lift his head, but raised a hand, glittering with starlight.
“Boom!”
With a stifling sound, Fang Li suddenly flicked his wrist, blasting away the incoming wind blades.
“Bang!”
The weasel-like invisible blades heavily struck the window, instantly shattering it, and sending countless shards raining down on the ground.
Ram’s complexion couldn’t help but change as she saw this scene.
Only at this moment did Fang Li close the book in front of him, turn his head, and gaze at Ram as he said with an indifferent tone. “Have you calmed down? If not, I don’t mind continuing to play with you.”
Hearing such an indifferent tone, Ram clenched her hand tightly.
Just from this hurried confrontation, Ram already understood that she was no match for Fang Li.
At least, not now.
This realization made Ram bite her lip slightly.
At this moment, a hand pressed on Ram’s shoulder.
“Calm down, Ram.”
Saying this was Roswaal, who appeared by Ram’s side at some point.
Roswaal looked at Fang Li with the same ridiculous smile as before and calmly said, “I believe, Lord Fang Li wouldn’t do such a thing, so please, calm down.”
Although Roswaal’s tone sounded very ridiculous and amusing, there was a hint of oppression in his words.
This finally made Ram a little calmer, sinking into silence.
“I apologize, Lord Fang Li,” Roswaal said leisurely to Fang Li. “My maid seems to have been too impulsive. Please forgive her rudeness.”
“In this mansion, if I had been concerned about everything, I would have been busy a long time ago,” Fang Li said disapprovingly. “If there’s something, just say it directly, no need to beat around the bush.”
“Ma, Ma, don’t be so indifferent to me,” Roswaal shrugged, saying to Fang Li, “Regarding Rem, I would like to understand a bit more. Could you accompany me to her room?”
Fang Li didn’t answer, only stood up straight under the gaze of Roswaal and Ram, and walked out of the room in a straight line, heading to the door opposite his room.
Then, Fang Li directly opened that door.
On the other side of the door was not a guest room like Fang Li’s.
Appearing inside the door was the forbidden book library.
“Fang Li.” Emilia was unexpectedly in the forbidden book library, looking at Fang Li who walked in from outside the door, with a worried expression.
On her shoulder, Pack sat there, not looking at Fang Li, but staring ahead.
There, Beatrice was extending a hand towards Rem in front of her, with dazzling magic power light emanating from her hand.
“Ugh…!”
Rem let out a somewhat distressed sound, her whole body emitting wisps of black mist under the dazzling light of magic power.
That black mist was not only extremely ominous but also filled with an evil aura.
Yet, this aura tightly wrapped around Rem’s body, like ropes, binding her entire body.
Maintaining this state until after a while, the magic power light emanating from Beatrice’s hand dimmed.
And the black mist re-entered Rem’s body, causing Rem to let out a distressed sound and slowly fall down.
“Rem!”
Ram immediately stepped forward, extending her hand, and hugged her Little Sister.
“Ha… Ha…”
Rem lay in Ram’s arms, breathing heavily and the sound of her breathing was filled with pain.
Seeing this, Ram’s expression also became ugly, she quickly raised her head and looked towards Beatrice.
However, before Ram could speak, Beatrice spoke up.
“No,” Beatrice said without any hesitation. “There are too many spells planted in her body, they can’t be removed.”
With that sentence, the temperature on the scene dropped to freezing point.
Ram, holding Rem, had a rare look of hesitation in her eyes while Emilia lowered her head even more, her eyes full of sadness.
Even Pack hugged his arms, closed his eyes, and seemed to be thinking about something.
Only Roswaal spoke softly.
“…Is it really a Curse Technique?”
Curse Technique refers to a subcategory of Magic and Spirit Technique, a type of spell mainly based on curses.
In other words, Rem was cursed.
By a Curse User from somewhere.
“I’m afraid that long before today, this maid had multiple contacts with the caster, and spells were secretly planted in her body. It wasn’t until today that the Curse Technique was applied, activating all the spells in one go, making it impossible to remove,” Beatrice said expressionlessly to Ram. “Recently, has this maid been going out often?”
“…Yes.” Ram held Rem tightly, her voice hoarse. “Because the Witch Cult could attack at any time, Lord Roswaal specifically ordered that, just in case, we must prepare various items. So, Rem has been going to the village three times a day recently.”
“In that case, there is no doubt,” Beatrice declared. “The Curse User is in that village.”
