It's just misfortune. novelし↗,

While an unknown infectious disease was raging in Steinbrad, Isabella, who had always been healthy, could not escape the invisible claws of death.

At first she thought she had a cold, but after a few days she had nosebleeds and fever, and it was useless to pray to the Light, and the priests of the church were helpless against this sudden acute illness, although it was rumored that the ordinary Tranquility Flower had a remarkable effect on the disease, but whether it was eaten dry or soaked in water, the whole person smelled like Isabella in an old pharmacy showed no signs of getting better, and those herbs did not even stop her condition from getting worse.

Her illness was soon discovered by those around her, and her former companions screamed to stay away from her, and the Countess, who occasionally came to the garden to chat with her, never appeared before her again, but sent two men who were covered all but her eyes, and threw her out of the Count's mansion.

Isabella wants to hate but has no goal - she understands them, and she doesn't want to be with a malignant infectious disease herself.

Without much thought, she walked in the direction of home, remembering the feeling of her father's big hand touching her head in her childhood, and the way her mother served hot food while complaining about trivial matters.

She became sicker, spent most of the day in a coma, and occasionally woke up to recognize herself lying in the attic of her home.

Her family did not drive her away, but placed her here, and at first, her mother wept and cursed and cursed why misfortune had befallen her poor child, and gradually, the object of the curse became the Holy Light, and it was really hateful that faith could not save her child at this critical moment.

Maybe it's three days, maybe it's a week later. The object of her mother's curse eventually becomes Isabella.

When she was awake, Isabella stared at the rotten beams on the roof of the attic, where she remembered playing when she was younger, when the roof was dusty, but not as moss or mold as it is now.

She felt the power of life gradually flowing out of her body, and she was like this rotten house. Gradually losing its vitality...... Her brother, the slimy elf who always followed her, grew up, but never came to see her sister again, and occasionally, when she woke up in the night, she could hear a loud noise downstairs, and the voice of the grown man must have belonged to him, and he had been urging him to throw his sister out of the city.

Isabella admonishes herself to be calm and understand her family's difficulties. However, the cold gaze of her relatives, which was no longer familiar, still broke her heart, and her temper began to become irritable, and in the short time she woke up, she always looked at Yiqiē viciously, and then she grieved alone.

No one could figure out how this sudden contagion spread, and it is said that scholars and pharmacists were already working around the clock on a cure, but Isabella could not wait any longer.

After a long coma, she woke up to find the priest in the corner chapel standing beside her bedside.

She begged the priest to kill her. She was too weak to commit suicide, after many evil thoughts were reincarnated. In the end, she chose to sacrifice herself, at least not to infect her family.

However, the teachings of the Light were against suicide, and the priest refused to listen to her pleas...... The priest was a good man after all, and he promised to take Isabella away and take her outside the city to die.

……

Loria pulled the dried clothes off the rope on tiptoe, and the woman who talked to herself would do the laundry for her. But every time, the washed clothes would be hung high in the room like a flag.

It's a bad taste.

She didn't want anyone else to do these things for her, Isabella's so-called service was just to make her uncomfortable, and she could take care of herself.

In the last few days, Loria has taken a look at the ruins underground, which are larger than she had imagined. But it wasn't too big to be exaggerated, she was sure that it had been completely abandoned, for some unknown reason, but she thought it would be good - the relics in the dilapidated room told her that it wasn't a good place, and although she didn't want to think about it, she knew that there was some kind of sin lurking here.

Isabella hadn't cleaned the place thoroughly, Loria found some torture tools and scattered human bones, in addition to that, there were a lot of sharp blades, too long for a razor, too short and thin for a weapon, and still sharp after such a long time, obviously not a table knife.

Although it may seem embarrassing to say this, she still likes the warmth and coziness of the old but large bookshelves, comfortable reclining chairs and flowers blooming outside the window...... Well, Miss Loria is a lovely person.

Compared to her poor work ethic, Isabella's professional skills are not bad, and Loria doesn't know why a former royal guard has the skills of a maid, except that she doesn't like to clean her room and has a bad habit of littering, she does laundry and cooking well.

In all fairness, Isabella's cooking skills are good, and the cream of the beans is especially delicious.

Loria shook her head vigorously, now was not the time to be greedy, taking advantage of the time when the woman went out to buy groceries, it was a good opportunity to escape, she didn't plan to abide by the inexplicable will, she had already made up her mind to get rid of the annoying woman.

She had never seen Isabella eat or drink in front of her, and she even had the illusion that she wasn't human...... No, she must not be human...... Loria was sure that she had never had a blood-sucking urge for Isabella.

An hour after Isabella left, Loria began to escape, according to her estimates, the other party who was familiar with the terrain had just left the underground at the moment, and she could hide in a pit above while searching for a way, and then sneak out when Isabella returned from grocery shopping and found that she was missing.

Even if the other party really has the ability to manipulate time, it is impossible to have no distance limit at all, what Loria has to do is nothing more than never appear in the other party's sight, once she runs to the ground, who can catch her?

Following the clues in her memory, Loria soon slipped out of the underground ruins and into the intricate tunnels that she now felt more and more were merely camouflage.

Although the black dragon's blessing gave her the instinct to find her way, it didn't directly provide a clear map - at best, she was able to not get lost, and it took less time to find the exit...... Most of the time, this wayfinding instinct is just a faint subtle feeling, after all, the blessing itself does not have the intelligence to judge where Loria wants to go.

Vampire's night vision doesn't help much when she's in complete darkness, but like the completely depraved vampires she's encountered in the cave, Loria doesn't need to see to move through the ground as usual, trying to figure out which senses are working, but never succeeding, as if darkness is her closest friend by nature, and moving accurately in the darkness is just instinct.

After about an hour, she realized that she had deviated from her course and was about to change her direction, when she heard a hissing sound, which, contrary to her impression, could travel farther from below, and which was exactly on the route she had predicted.

After some hesitation, she decided to walk towards the hissing voice.
