I Quit Being The Male Lead’s Rival-Chapter 106: Qualifications of the Mind (11)

Chapter 106. Qualifications of the Mind (11)

The sword in her hand shone eerily.

After reading Cessianne’s thoughts, Bellinock swallowed dry saliva. So this was the opponent’s plan to calculate everything.

“What should we do with this?”

Bellinock looked at Lagian with eager eyes.

“Everything was a trap.”

“What?”

“Aaron was deliberately baited, and Annabelle was behind him!”

Lagian was slightly dazed, as if he had been hit in the head with a blow.

Come to think of it, the appearance of Aaron, who seemed not at all nervous even though he had been kidnapped, was very suspicious.

But now there was nothing he could do. Hadn’t it already happened?

Carlon was such a thorough person, he didn’t even attach anyone else. There were only two people involved in this case, Bellinock and himself.

‘If anything happens, he must be thinking of putting it all on me as a foreigner.’

Lagian shook his head eagerly. Since they were all connected with money, there was no way there could be a great bond.

However, the amount of money received was considerable, and the amount of money promised to be received after eliminating Annabelle was also an enormous amount.

‘I don’t care.’

So, all they had to do was join forces in a state of mutual distrust.

Above all, he truly hated Annabelle. So he somehow wanted to kill her with his hands.

‘I’m going to have to kill both of them anyway. And if things go wrong…’

Lagian quickly finished his calculations and fixed his sword.

“That’s right.”

Annabelle, who appeared with her back to the moon, grinned at Bellinock’s words, pulled a dagger from her arms and hurled it.

“You are caught in my trap.”

The dagger hit the rope that bound Aaron’s arm.

Her ability to throw a dagger, which hit through a small gap, was also good, but Aaron’s courage, who believed in Annabelle and did not move, was also great.

“Ah.”

Aaron shrugged his shoulders as he lifted his dagger with his free hand and even cut the ropes from his legs.

“Thank you, sister.”

After untying all the ties, he quickly stood up.

“Even if it’s a strategy, it doesn’t seem like too much to act as bait in front of your lover.”

Lagian was slightly startled by Aaron’s movement.

Since Aaron lost to Ian once when he was twelve, he hadn’t participated in any swordsmanship contests.

The kidnapping was so easy that he wasn’t too wary, but he was a lot more physically fit than he thought.

“Even if my horizons have expanded, I don’t want it to expand for a long time.”

Aaron jumped and stood in front of Cessianne.

“If anyone touches my girl, I won’t let you go! If possible, even if it was childish, I wanted something like this.” (pr/n: Lol what a dork)

Lagian counted quickly. There were two swordsmen over there, but there was a woman who had to protect them.

Considering that his own swordsmanship skills were the best, he wasn’t pushed that far.

‘Anyway, that guy is bound to his lover, so from Annabelle’s side…’

He immediately grabbed his sword and ran towards Annabelle.

Annabelle flicked his sword and jumped swiftly onto the shelf of a warehouse.

“You bastard!”

At the point where she seemed to be easy to subdue, Annabelle would squirm away.

And that attitude made Lagian very angry.

“I know you’re afraid of me, but if you’re a real swordsman, don’t avoid it, hit it!”

“Don’t be too angry.”

She said with a look of concern for him.

“You might lose muscles if you get too excited.”

Not long after Lagian chased Annabelle around, a scream echoed through the warehouse.

It was Bellinock’s scream.

“Ahh!”

Aaron was about to kick Belinock’s chest.

“Come on then.”

He hugged Cessianne and smiled.

“I don’t want to be the High Priest’s killer, so I’ll end here.”

Pls read only at pink muffin tl.

Lagian immediately fired his dagger towards Aaron, but missed completely. Unexpectedly, Aaron was very quick.

Even holding Cessianne, he easily escaped all the daggers and slipped through the door Annabelle had entered.

Just as Lagian saw him and was about to pursue him, Annabelle struck him right in the back of the neck.

It all happened so quickly that he was distracted.

It was when he stumbled and knelt down.

“So, goodbye.”

Annabelle smiled brightly.

“I’m sorry, but we’re going to finish here today.”

She stepped on his back, leaped once more, and followed Aaron and Cessianne.

“What are you talking about? Are you going like this?”

It was when Laigan gritted his teeth and tried to chase them.

“No!”

Someone grabbed his arm. It was Bellinock.

“What? How annoying!”

When Lagian was about to swing his arm, Bellinock said urgently.

“You must not kill Annabelle! If you do, Carlon will be very angry!”

“What nonsense?”

Lagian paused for a moment at the word ‘Carlon’.

However, he was furious at the thought of not having a proper duel with Annabelle.

“He’s the one who told me to kill her! I could have killed her this time, but you ruined it!”

“But it can’t be helped!”

Bellinock let out a rough breath. Then, to appease the angry Lagian, he spoke right away.

“Cessianne and I exchanged powers, now we continue to share thoughts from this point on.”

“What is…”

“So I knew they dug this trap on purpose. And they now know I took Cessianne’s power to offer it to the devil.”

Because if Cessianne offered her divine power directly to the devil, she would not be able to reincarnate, so she was using Bellinock.

“They are also looking for the origin of the third black magic, because…”

Bellinock murmured again in shock.

“…Because Annabelle Rainfield has eyes that can tell the origins of black magic.”

“What?”

“She is said to be the only one in this world capable of recognizing the origin of black magic. Perhaps it was her, not Ian Wade, that destroyed the other two so easily.”

Lagian was not particularly interested in such things. It was the origin of black magic, and everything was the concern of Carlon and Bellinock.

All he had to do was kill Annabelle and take the money.

“She seems to be getting a blessing in return, but I don’t know the details.”

So, he was busy expressing his anger by pouring out his disrespect.

“No, then we have to get rid of her even more! If we can find out the origin of black magic, we should kill her right away, right? You ruined it!”

“Nope.”

Bellinock shook his head.

“I dedicated my powers to the devil and tried to figure out the origins of black magic… In the meantime, Cessianne cut off her power, so I could not fully give it to the devil.”

Lagian recalled that time for a moment.

Suddenly in the middle of nowhere, Cessianne yelled and unilaterally cut off her connection.

“So I only found out that the origin of black magic was in the Smaho Forest, but I don’t know what it was.”

Bellinock sighed.

“They were aiming for that timing on purpose. To cut off the connection when I hear only the location and don’t know what it is… After all, Annabelle is able to recognize it.”

“No, what…”

“There is now only one way we can find the origins of black magic.”

“No way…”

“Follow Annabelle, because she can recognize it. That’s why I stopped you from killing her earlier.”

He looked at Laigan and clicked his tongue.

“Anyway, they didn’t intend to fight you properly. Annabelle said she has no confidence in herself to beat you.”

At those words, Lagian’s heart softened slightly.

‘You don’t have the confidence to win, so you seem to have a rough idea of ​​my own skills. After all, it was a coincidence at the banquet.’

Bellinock glanced at his sword and continued.

“So, stop being angry. They are also perplexed because things didn’t go as planned.”

“…What plan?”

“They didn’t expect us to move so late. Prince Carlon must have figured out something.”

“Then, are your thoughts connected with Cessianne even now?”

“Exactly.”

At Lagian’s question, Belinock let out a groan.

“I’m glad it went as planned. Of course, they know that I’m telling you this.”

“…Right.”

Lagian answered slowly.

Then he sighed and ruffled his hair.

“It’s going to be like this after all.”

Bellinock shook his head at the sound of his low voice.

“This time, I admit that I fell into that trap… Ah!”

Bellinock’s words did not continue.

Lagian, wielding his sword lightly, made Bellinock die instantly.

“Lagian, if something goes wrong and you can’t kill Cessianne, kill Bellinock as soon as possible.”

“What?”

“Won’t their thoughts be shared? We can’t tell them our plans.”

“Well… We don’t need to tell the High Priest any more?”

“I don’t want to leave anything unpleasant.”

In fact, this was exactly what Carlon had told Lagian in advance.

If things went wrong, kill Bellinock.

So that the other party did not know the intention of their side any more.

“Also…”

Lagian shook his head as he recalled Carlon’s words.

“Because he’s a man who doesn’t have anyone on his side. Well, that’s probably why he came all the way here.”
