The earring sparkled.

At the time, Yelena was just fascinated by the sight of it, but the magic Sidrion had cast on the earring ended up being of great help later on.

Yelena had been lucky; shed put on those exact earrings that day, of all days.

Sidrion shook his head at Yelenas thanks.

No, not at all. Since I had imprinted the magic on the spot, it was useless It would have been much more helpful if it had been an official artifact.

Sidrion then put all kinds of things on the table. Rings, necklaces, bracelets, hairpins, earrings

They appeared to be ordinary accessories, but they completely changed the moment Sidrion said, These are magic artifacts.

What?

Ive imprinted attack, defense, teleportation, and communication magic.

Ive made them so that they will respond to the voice of the first person to wear each artifact. You will be able to use it right after reciting the start command. Each artifact has a different start command. Ill leave a manual that explains each magic effect, so you can just read it

Black Tower Owner.

Yelena cut Sidrion off. She was looking at the dark shadows under his eyes.

Did you skip sleep to make all this? She posed it as a question, but there was certainty in her words.

Sidrion didnt reply, but his silence expressed the affirmative.

Gosh.

A baffled Yelena leaned against the back of her chair and crossed her arms.

Why do all this?

You know, Black Tower Owner.

Yelenas expression turned serious.

It had been on the back of her mind for a while, but she thought shed take this opportunity to confirm it.

I investigated you in the past.

Ben had been flustered when she had asked him to introduce her to Sidrion and her husband had asked her if Sidrion had acted rudely by any chance.

Naturally, she grew curious.

This punk, what is he usually like?

With that curiosity, she learned of Sidrions ludicrous reputation.

Youre quite famous. For your bad temper.

Scumbag was Sidrions nickname.

The current owner of the Black Tower was known for his extraordinary genius, but he was no less notorious for his awful personality.

But for someone whos so infamous for his bad character, you act like an innocent lamb in front of me and do whatever youre told without complaint

Yelena directed her sharp gaze towards the variety of artifacts on the table.

You even lost sleep overworking yourself to make all this for me.

That

Black Tower Owner.

Yelena looked right into Sidrions eyes. Then she spoke in a wary voice.

Do you like my husband that much?

Pardon? Sidrion, whose mouth had been open to give an explanation, replied in an idiotic voice.

Yelena narrowed her eyes, arms still crossed.

Killing your temper in front of me, worrying about my safety, thats all because of my husband.

Honestly, you dont really care if I get hurt or not, do you? But if Im in danger, then my husband would be worried, which would bother you, so you push yourself to do all this. Am I wrong?

She was right.

Sidrion was speechless.

Truth be told, Sidrion would not be able to feel any particular emotion if Yelena died right there in front of him. He would just be concerned about the grief Kaywhin would experience as a result.

Yelena was right, but he didnt expect the person in question to hit the mark so bluntly.

A flustered Sidrion tried to deny it without realizing. Why do you think that? It could just be that I have a good-natured fondness for you, unrelated to anyone else.

Thats hilarious. Yelena scoffed as if she had just heard nonsense.

Do you think Im stupid? Im not that bad at reading people.

You arent interested in me at all. But you might be interested in my husbands wife.

Sidrions mouth twitched, but in the end, no words came out, not even to refute her. And truthfully, he didnt really need to.

You have a good eye for peoples character.

Yelena let out a triumphant laugh at that.

Thats why I married my husband. Yelena was proud for a second, and then she returned to her original point.

She fixed her posture.

Why do you like my husband so much? she asked, as if she was interrogating Sidrion. There was a sharp glint in her eye.
