He wasn’t sure if it would work since it was only a theory, but he had nothing else to try right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, his mana began taking a certain flow within his body, and the effect was immediate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt as if he was wasting more mana, and the radius of his [Shadow Sense] had grown much smaller.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still, the moment he achieved the flow he wanted, he stepped closer to the barrier again, and unlike the first time, he wasn’t rejected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, he felt as if he was passing through layers of bubbles until he reached the other end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he did, he noticed that he could feel his shadow, which he promptly reactivated, and without hesitation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He swapped places with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was all Adrian felt the moment he reappeared where his shadow was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All around him, ice shards were covering the walls, and on the floor around him lay multiple shattered corrupted humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly falling towards the ground was snow, all of which was a sign of Renelle’s presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked ahead and immediately spotted her, sitting on her knees with her head down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her arms were wrapped around something...or rather, someone, and her shoulders were trembling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My lady?\" Adrian called out as he could very clearly feel her sadness now that they were in the same space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her sadness crushed him, and he felt so useless right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, Renelle lifted her head and looked towards him, revealing a face that crushed Adrian even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Running down her face were, tears?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her blue eyes looked completely hollow, but even then, she seemed a bit surprised to see him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Adrian?\" Her voice came out weakly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t seem like the Villainess Renelle right now, nor was she the obsessed or desperate Renelle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now she just seemed....broken?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was silence between them for a while, her eyes begging him to do something but he was still a bit caught off guard by her current emotions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No, more than being caught off guard, he was currently blaming himself for whatever put her in this state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, if he had insisted on staying by her side even with her rejection, maybe he could’ve prevented the events that put her in that mood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes stayed on Renelle, but more importantly, on what she was holding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrian tried moving closer but the next second, his steps froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes looked up at Renelle, whose eyes were now wide in horror as she looked at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Slowly, Adrian looked down and noticed that a hand was cleanly passing through his back, and in the hand was his beating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This should deal with you and set everything back on track,\" a voice whispered from behind him, \"anomaly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the last thing he heard before the hand was withdrawn, causing him to fall forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A look of horror was the last thing he saw on Renelle’s face before his consciousness finally faded.\u003C\u002Fp>",1117,"2026-06-02T10:56:10.128Z",1,"novelbin.me","e1e283a627d4338a405ab7176119fdc1450764330a89bfe55e9c4c43a81f9e37","the-lady-s-butler-i-reincarnated-to-serve-the-vi-chapter-48","the-lady-s-butler-i-reincarnated-to-serve-the-vi-chapter-47",146,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-lady-s-butler-i-reincarnated-to-serve-the-vi-cover.jpg"]
