I Raised Him Modestly, But He Came Back Obsessed With Me

red the warehouse, Cersinia’s face was wrinkled by the stinging smoke and intense heat.
The situation was serious.
Unlike what was seen from the outside, it was no exaggeration to say that the inside of the warehouse was occupied by red flames.

“Verne! What do you see in front of you! I will be there.”

 

Because of the flames, Verne’s location was not confirmed.

 

“Gasp, gasp… N-No… You can’t come.
I-It’s going to be a big problem…”

 

A voice that was on the verge of collapsing was heard deeper inside.

 

‘I should have brought a wet towel…’

 

She didn’t have time to bring it back.

 

Cersinia ripped her sleeves and blocked her mouth and nose.
The heat felt from her skin was so terrible that she didn’t want to feel it again, and the smoke that covered her eyes was so intense that she couldn’t help but cry.
If she stays like this, she will be suffocated by smoke and collapse.
That’s why she had to move quickly without the slightest fuss.

 

As if she wasn’t afraid of the flames in front of her, she stepped forward without hesitation toward the flames that were blocking her like a wall.
The flames, which showed no sign of extinguishing, faltered greatly as she approached and withdrew the flames.

 

Each time she moved forward, the flames faltered and backed down as if they had met their master.
The flames were giving way just by taking steps without much effort.

 

There was no agitation in Cersinia’s expression.
She already knew, and it was familiar.
Because of this power, she was able to get out of the cabin that was engulfed in flames three years ago.
The flames couldn’t touch herself and opened the way as if the Red Sea was splitting.
Perhaps because of her power to handle fire, the flames couldn’t burn or approach her.
Knowing it, she walked further inward without hesitation.
The swaying flames shook, giving up and getting out of the way.

 

Cersinia only thought of one thing.

 

‘I need to save Verne.’

 

With determined eyes, she walked into the midst of the soaring fire.
Small sparks fell out of the blazing flames.
Flames were bouncing menacingly in all directions, but they could not do so when Cersinia stood by there.
Then they squeaked in the air, turned to ashes, and plummeted to the floor.

 

“Verne!”

 

She called Verne out loud.
It made her more difficult to breathe, but she had to take Verne out.

 

“Lady Cersinia… No, you can’t.
You have to go out… Gasp.”

 

“Cover your mouth and nose as much as possible!”

Verne’s voice was heard closer than before.
She was definitely nearby.
Her heart sank when she knew that Verne, who had been trapped in the warehouse longer than herself, wouldn’t be able to last long because of the smoke.

 

“This…”

 

Her steps, which were moving forward without hesitation, came to a standstill.
There was a large fire that couldn’t be compared to the flames that she had passed so far.
She couldn’t move forward.
Because the huge fire, like a waterfall, has no intention of getting out of her way.
It looked like the appearance of an evil spirit or a huge beast.
She looked at the fire with a disbelieving look.

 

‘Why is it here alone?’

 

Unlike the flames that have soared to the shoulders that have passed so far, the fire that blocked the front of the eyes reached the ceiling and was about to soar into the sky at any moment.
She couldn’t break through the fire that was firmly blocking her way like a wall.
She had already tried to move it with her hands, but the fire didn’t move.

 

When she looked around to find the cause of the strong fire here, there was a small, disgusting smell of oil mixed in the scent that stabbed her lungs.
Under her feet, she could see shattered pieces of glass.
Every time the glass broke, the fire grew bigger as if it had swallowed manure.

 

Cersinia noticed that what was contained in the glass was oil.
To be exact, the lamp oils were stored in the warehouse.
It was the reason why a huge fire was formed only here.

 

‘This must be the reason why Verne couldn’t get out.’

 

“Cough cough… G-Gasp… Lady Cersinia, hurry up and leave.”

 

Verne’s dying voice was as faint as mist.

 

“Verne.”

 

“…”

 

There was no sound beyond the fire.

 

“Vernet! Are you okay!”

 

The answer was not heard.

 

In nervousness, Cersinia stomped her feet.
She had to hurry up and pass here to save Verne.
Seeing that there was no answer, Verne seemed to have collapsed.
If she had delayed more time, she would have really put Verne’s life in jeopardy.
However, the fire burned even more with red light as if they had no intention of moving away.

 

‘What should I do? What should I do?’

 

She reached out to fire one more time in agony.
It was that moment.
When she held out her palm in front of the fire, the fire that was blazing in front of her circled around like a tornado.
Soon after, the fire became a hazy heat and sucked into her palm.
