46 the dark side of miss zoe

When she realized that Sofia liked Kadir, Sofia gave me a check for ten thousand dollars to keep quiet.

Kadir, two steps ahead of me, started to seem sweeter to me for some reason after this incident. It was as if the person running in front of me was not Kadir, but a walking dollar monument.

While we were making sneaky plans on how to market Kadir to Sofia, a large magical circle came into our field of vision.

Seeing the thousands of tents spread around the A-level portal, it was easy to understand that we were in the right place.

After running for a short while, a soldier appeared in front of us, wrote our hunter ID numbers on the tablet in his hand, confirmed our identities and told us to go to tent number 562.

Sofia stopped the soldier who turned around and said "wait a minute".

"Can I stay in the tent where my mother is?"

"What is your mother's hunter number?"

When I realized that Sofia could not answer this question, I intervened in the situation.

"Let's not disturb you, sir, we will solve this problem."

In this era when phones were invented, it was not very difficult to find a person.

The man looked at me and the little girl behind me, then opened the tablet in his hand and asked Sofia her mother's name.

Even though the man didn't say anything, it was easy to understand that he suspected me of being a thug who was forcibly detaining an underage girl.

The soldier showed Sofia the pictures of the hunters with the same name and then said in a surprised tone, "Looks like your mother is staying in tent number 28. In one of the tents over there."

While the soldier looked back at me and continued his patrol, I heard the laughter of Sofia and Kadir.

I turned my head and looked at Sofia, who was rolling on the ground, and Kadir, who was wiping his tears even though he was laughing slightly.

After Sofia and Kadir calmed down, we went to the tent indicated by the soldier.

The tent the soldier told us was exactly a tent for three people. Surprisingly, the tent had everything we needed, including a small water tanker.

"Sofia, why are you still here? Didn't you just ask where your mommy is?"

While Sofia was ignoring my words, watching Kadir, who continued to do push-ups without a shirt because he sweated excessively while doing 2000 push-ups as punishment for laughing at me, the high society style laughing sounds of the mature woman came from the door of the tent.

When I turned my head, I saw Miss Zoe quietly about to enter the tent.

"haha, I didn't know my beautiful daughter missed me this much"

Sofia broke out of her hypnosis when she heard her mother's voice

"Mom! Why are you here? I mean, welcome."

"You're welcome, dear. What kind of kindness is this today? Or are you like this because you're around other men? Maybe my little girl has fallen in love. Hehehe."

As Miss Zoe looked at her daughter overreacting to her joke, the smile on her face slowly disappeared and she turned to look at me with murderous intent.

"Eren, can you come out with me for a while?"

As I was leaving the tent and looking at Zoe, who was still smiling despite the veins on her forehead, I started to think why I was so unlucky today. Maybe I accumulated a lot of bad karma for sending Sofia into the simulation world without her notice, and karma is punishing me.

When I opened the hard cover door of the tent, I saw Lady Zoe, who was elegantly waiting for the bene in her black clothes and whispering something to the bald and tattooed men around her.

After Ms. Zoe finished speaking, she turned to me and for the first time I saw her serious expression.

After Miss Zoe approached me, she waved her hand slightly and one of the men behind came forward. While I was watching the man with a slight suspicion that he was going to beat me, the man raised his hands to his chest and suddenly clapped his palms together like a Buddhist monk.

The moment I saw the man's hands collide, the scene before my eyes changed at the speed of light. When I looked around again, I found myself in the elegantly furnished reading room of an old English castle.

While Ms. Zoe was standing in front of me and looking at me with a frown, she invited me to the single chair with her hand.

"This is new. You weren't even shaken, hah. You are actually an interesting child than you seem, but my daughter is not an ordinary girl either."

I wanted to open my mouth and tell Miss Zoe that she misunderstood me, but Miss Zoe continued talking without even taking a breath.

"First of all, I don't want you to misunderstand me, you are a boy I love, but you are a little mature for my daughter. Of course, this is not a problem. It can even be considered a family tradition for us girls to marry mature men."

" Woman..."

"All that matters is that my daughter chose you, and since I am a much better mother than previous generations, I respect my daughter's choice immensely."

"Your daughter's choice..."

"Anyway, this is not our topic. If you are going to marry my daughter, you must first sign this agreement in order not to restrict my daughter's freedom."

"what marriage..."

"Point one: You must spend time with my daughter at least 3 days a week, at most 5 days a week. In this way, my daughter will not get bored of you and will not miss you."

"Article two: If my daughter wants to participate in a trip or entertainment, she can go on this trip with whoever she wants, it doesn't matter if it is a boy or a girl. Don't get me wrong, if a girl from our lineage shows disloyalty to her husband, she will pay the price with her life. While I am only attending events for young people due to the age difference between you, you cannot go." "I'm worried about her being alone."

Ever since Miss Zoe said she would pay the price with her life, I stopped trying to talk and just started listening.

---

"Article twenty-three: As my daughter's full-time wife, you will not work in any job other than accompanying my daughter in dungeons. All your expenses will be covered by me. This article is not actually like this, but you have already started to grow old, so I want you to devote all your remaining time to my daughter."

"any question?"

I was buried deep in the single leather sofa, trying to get over the shock of what I had just heard.

After looking at Eren's reaction with a smile, Miss Zoe left the documents in her hand on the table and disappeared.

"The terms of the agreement are on the table, if there is anything you want to review, you can ask me when I come back in 5 minutes. And it should not be forgotten that if you do not accept the terms, my men will have permission to shoot you the moment they see you near my daughter."

Two minutes after Miss Zoe disappeared, I came to my senses and wet my mouth, which was dry because it had been open for a long time, with the water on the table.
