Magic System in a Parallel World

Leo swallowed nervously inwardly after hearing the young lady ’s words, but it was her sadistic smile that made him shiver.

’That damn butler! Normal girls around her age wouldn ’t talk about killing and torturing, much less actually do them! Guildmaster Borus must have known about this and collided with the Scarlet Family! This mission was a death trap! ’ He cried inwardly.

”Are you afraid? I can see fear in your eyes. ” The young lady suddenly said.

”Not a chance. I ’m just a little taken aback by your words. A young lady such as yourself shouldn ’t talk about killing and torture. ” Leo said as he stared directly into her crimson eyes.

The more he looked at her eyes, the more he was enchanted by its beauty.

”Can you stop staring at me so intensively? It feels weird… ” she suddenly said in a low voice.

”Sorry… I couldn ’t look away since your eyes are so mesmerizing. ”

The young lady ’s eyes widened slightly after hearing his words.

”You think my eyes are pretty? I don ’t believe you. Everyone else is disgusted by it, including my own family, but they fear it more than they are disgusted. ”

Leo smiled and said, ”Then they must be blind. ”

”… ”

The young lady turned silent for a moment before speaking again, ”I haven ’t introduced myself yet. My name is Lia— Lia Scarlet, and I am the second youngest child in the Scarlet Household. You can just call me Lia. ”

Leo nodded, ”Pleased to meet you, Lia. ”

And he continued, ”Can you tell me a little more about my mission now? I am supposed to be your bodyguard, but… ”

He looked around the sealed room. What could he possibly be protecting Lia from?
