???????

After reaching the courtyard, Cordelia made sure that no one was around and slowly stretched.

Im so tired!

Although she knew this was an unfit act for a young lady, she couldnt help but do so. The remaining burdens on her shoulders were all lifted, and her mind was really clear.

Its over, its over, its over.

That thought spread down to her fingertips. The phantom of『Cordelia』was covered in a haze, and she no longer cared about wearing red dresses.

She didnt have to think about the fear which was caused by the relationship between the『Heroine』and『Cordelia』that had been nested in her heart for a long time. She may encounter trouble in the future, but that wouldnt be determined by the fate of the in-game 『Cordelia』.

Shadows of 『Cordelia』shouldnt cross through her mind anymore.

I dont know what kind of punishment will be given to Shelley, but hopefully this will give her a chance to face reality

Cordelia wasnt going to get involved with Shelley anymore, but she wasnt going to blame her either. She did feel something towards the curse, but she felt that she could have become 『Cordelia』if she didnt have memories of her previous life.

Besides, there was something that worried her more than Shelleys future.

That is the magic that Shelley had used. Since she had felt something similar to Laras curse, it was highly possible that this magic came from Dulaus Kingdom.

(I dont think Shelley was forced to obey the curse like Lara was. If anything, its possible that she accepted the curse because she was tempted to.)

Given Shelleys personality, she would gladly accept the curse if she was told that it could expose my true nature.

It was easy for Cordelia to guess who would say such a thing.

In the game, there was a red-eyed man who had instigated 『Cordelia』. It wouldnt be strange for that man to be interested in Shelley since her personality was similar to that of 『Cordelias』. Someone who knows a lot of Dulaus magic and takes pleasure in tricking people ――― she thought and only one person came to mind.

(What the hell did Ghost do this for?)

Her sense of liberation turned into tension again.

Ghost had said that he didnt want to go near the castle because he didnt like how guarded it was, but if he had instigated Shelley, then he wouldnt miss this. A large part of his reasoning for doing things is because he wants to see it happen.

Cordelia squinted her eyes and looked around.

If Ghost is around, then he would be in a place that doesnt have a lot of guards. And if he wanted to see that hall, then he would need to be in a high place, ――― Cordelia thought and looked up at the castle walls, then she saw a shadow move slightly.

She couldnt see who it was clearly, but her instincts told her that was Ghost.

And she felt a disgusting smile was directed at her from the direction of the shadow.

She thought that all her problems involving『Cordelia』had been taken care of, but there were still some left.

If I dont settle things with Ghost, then I cant really bid farewell to 『Cordelia』.

(If Ghost had really instigated this, then he would approach me again.)

When she thought that, she heard hastened footsteps and put her guard up.
