Chapter 37: Past Secret

Severus"...."

"Okay I will not say that the book name is exactly what you said"

Noworry [ ...]

A chill ran down.

[No way, no way. Why? Why did you accept that book? Aye...Severus, how many times have I warned you, not to take anything from strangers? You are just creating troubles]

"Eh. what happened? It was just a book and don't forget that it saved us."

[Save. you are being fooled. We weren't saved but we were deceived.]

"What do you mean by that? Deceived. How?"

[And here I was thinking that at least you have a brain, but you proved it that it is just filled with rubbish]

"No, you are the rubbish'', Severus rebutted. He was just fed up with hearing curses from Noworry.

[Why did you think that ghost followed us? That DAMN book is cursed]

"Cursed?"

[Yeah, that book is cursed. Che.re...why do you get all the cursed things? It is like you are a magnet attracting cursed things. That book, Spell of death is one of the books that has a will. It's will serve the owner with loyalty but in return, the owner would be having ghost visitors]

"Ghost visitors? Don't tell me ghost will pay me a visit every now and then"

[Okay. I will not tell but surely you will be having many visitors from today onwards and that too will be dead. Hope you enjoy ] Noworry said sarcastically

Severus"...."

I am in deep waters.

"What to do now? Is there no way to get rid of this?"

[Why? Why do you want to get rid? Since this book thinks of you as her master so it is your duty to complete the task. Nothing can be done]

"Please noworry, think something. There should be a way to undo things. I cannot have dead souls following me everywhere. You need to help me.

Dammit help me out noworry"

Noworry [....]

Noworry pitied Severus but this time there really was not a solution.

[Look Severus. You need to accept this duty. Even if you try to throw this book or not want to accept this work but as a master of this book you need to follow the rules otherwise the hell would break upon you]

"What else will befall on me? Isn't my life already a hell?", Severus scoffed.

Noworry tried hard to think of a solution but did not come up with anything.

Severus knew that it was his fault to accept the book and noworry cannot be blamed. A man needs to take responsibility for his deed.

"[t's a fine birdie. Do not think much. I do not want your small rusty brain to take so much workload. I will just go with the flow. If it's my fate, then I should accept it."

"You punk, how can you joke around in this deadly situation? You have no idea in what hell you have dragged yourself into]

"Hmm"

[Let us stop talking and crash the bed. Look there is a hotel so you have money?]

"Severus nodded in reply"

Then just crash the night in that hotel]

"Okay"

--------------

Next day

Severus woke up all fresh and active.

Noworry too felt energized after a good sleep

He was still shocked by yesterday's revelation but after a good night's sleep. The shock subsided a little bit and he was back to normal.

[Don't you think we need to rent a house instead of renting the hotel? If this continues then we will go broke.]

"I don't think we need one. I am planning to clean this mess in one sweep. It's too boring to just go around in circles."

[Heh...sure. As far as I know, you would not be able to clean this in one go, so it's better we rent a room. What about money? How are we going to survive without the money?]

"No need to worry"

[How come I am not worried? You are so useless and an idiot that I am always troubled because of you.]

Severus"..."

Are you sure you are describing me and not yourself?

"Don't you worry about money. I know all the secret bases and places where there is money, so money isn't a problem. If we do this then we aren't betraying the nation. Are we going to loot the treasures? Won't this hurt your conscience?"

[What conscience? What betrayal? Everything ended the day he tried to kill me, so there is nothing wrong with what I am doing?]

"Okay, if you say so. Where are we going by the way?"

[We just going to investigate that old monk]

[Why? Why are we investigating him? Didn't you say yesterday that we will not be doing anything regarding this matter? If he wants something from us then he should be the one coming to us, not the other way. Do you understand?]

"I know I said that but we still underestimated him"

[What do you mean by underestimated?]

"Sigh...do you know what I saw inside the scrolls?"

[Oooof, I totally forgot to ask this. Wait, this is not a suitable place to talk. This is a hotel and hotels are the most commonplace for gathering information]

"Don't worry about that. I have already installed the voice cancellation array"

[when?]

"Last night. I too don't want our secrets to be revealed and it's the only way to secure it"

[Hmmmm....You did good work. Now tell me, what did you saw inside the scroll]

Severus smirked.

"You know what my real identity is?"

[Huh....what type of question is that? Aren't you Severus? The Ex-General of this kingdom]

"It's true that I am Severus but apart from being the shadow knight and the ex-general what identity do I have?"

Noworry [....]

Severus Chuckled

Everything was foggy earlier but now he can see the true colors of the king. In his previous life, he cursed god several times for his destiny and the hatred that he got but he never expected his fate to be so cruel.

His Savior wasn't his savior but the one who brought hell for him.
