Chapter 202

Deflon’s voice echoed widely through the silence.

If it had been any other matter, someone might have scoffed at it as trivial information.

However, assuming that not even the Serial Killer’s appearance had ever been revealed.

It was a story that couldn’t be overlooked.

Above all, what had emerged as the most crucial evidence in the Serial Killer’s trial over ten years ago.

The Imperial Badge.

Those who remembered this let out quiet groans.

Red eyes. Someone who could possess an Imperial Badge.

Naturally, gazes turned toward one place.

“The Serial Killer should be grateful.”

Toward the red-eyed Imperial Family Member, ‘Hades’.

“To receive such a final opportunity.”

Hades smiled meaningfully as all eyes focused on him.

‘This bastard.’

It was both amusing and infuriating enough to make his blood boil in reverse.

“I hope you surrender yourself soon.”

* * *

“What are you reading so intently?”

Deep into the night.

A sharp voice pierced her ears. Before Mint could even lift her head, a thick arm wrapped around her waist.

Mint tapped the hand holding her waist while halfheartedly waving the paper in her other hand.

“Well, he’s asking if I can cut off his head right away. The 2nd Prince.”

Helios’s face stiffened slightly.

“…Will you cut it off? If you’re going to, please let the Alpeion Ducal House Torture Chamber have him for just 3 days first.”

“No, of course not. What’s the point if I send him off easily.”

“…”

“But your House has a torture chamber too?”

“It does. I’m a bit of a bad guy.”

“Really?”

Mint chuckled. As if she’d heard an amusing joke. She even reached back to pat Helios’s head.

“That was a funny joke.”

At times like this, Helios felt a bit strange.

His Master had treated him as if he were truly an incomparably righteous person ever since Niflheim.

She acted as if this alone was an unchanging truth. Some days she showed strong trust like a devout believer.

Whenever he saw this side of her.

‘Should I really act like a spotlessly pure hero?’

Helios always pondered this.

“…You’re right. It was a joke.”

Helios abandoned his worries. If Mint thought that way, he just needed to become the person she wanted.

What could be difficult if she would just stay by his side?

If she wished it, he could even start a rebellion to become emperor, or elevate her to the throne.

In fact, Helios had once proposed rebellion to Mint. With the foundation Alpeion had built, a rebellion was worth attempting.

Or it would be possible to simply break off Alpeion Territory and establish independence as a duchy.

“I don’t like this guy or that guy, so how about trying to become emperor instead?”

“Hmm, I don’t want to.”

He had made the proposal on the day Mint’s hands were ruined by Deflon’s invasion.

“If I get too busy, the time I can spend with you will decrease. I don’t like that.”

And a primal answer came back. Helios abandoned the plan without regret.

That’s right.

How important was the time spent with Master, yet he would waste time on something like rebellion?

Even right now, if Mint wished it, he could abandon everything of Alpeion and leave together with her.

Did Master know?

That his world had a population of exactly two.

A life that made one being both sun and moon was sometimes suffocating.

Helios pondered the unquenchable thirst.

Was it impossible to monopolize even more of a being he already monopolized?

Why, even though Mint had offered her own life and said she would never leave again, did the anxiety not disappear?

Instead of continuing his fundamental doubts, he opened his mouth.

“You no longer call that bastard by name.”

“Ah. The 2nd Prince?”

Mint, nestled in his arms, nodded her head lightly.

“There’s no reason to call him by name.”

Helios pressed his lips to her exposed white neck.

He had once thought that as strong as she was, Mint’s body might be as clean as looking at white porcelain.

However, when he actually faced her, scars that couldn’t be completely erased existed throughout her body.

Mint told him the origin of each one with an indifferent expression. That they were scars from ‘childhood’ or ‘while climbing the Tower.’

When hearing such words, Helios realized how easily and conveniently he had climbed that Tower.

All thanks to Master before his eyes. Thanks to her sharing the memories she had gained through her own body without cost.

Of course, now he knew that Mint had her own purpose too.

But it was true that she had helped him not die when she could have let him die.

“Because he’s no longer That Guy I knew.”

At Mint’s answer, Helios felt his nerves crackling like fire.

Hades Pailuto Karkeia.

This name would pop up in moments when he wasn’t thinking about it, making him furious.

Though Master had declared that he was now nothing more than an insignificant existence to her.

Helios knew.

The 2nd Prince and Master had spent their childhood together.

…The mere fact that they had shared time he knew nothing about filled him with unbearable jealousy.

“Helios.”

“…”

“Even your jealousy is cute.”

Helios, who had been gently biting her white neck, paused.

Where his lips had left, his marks were already abundant. They were traces carved in such a short time.

“I like that too.”

“…”

“Sometimes I think it would be okay if you completely ruined me helplessly.”

Ha, Helios let out a small breath. Mint’s body spun around swiftly.

Facing each other, Mint was sitting on Helios’s thighs.

Mint felt Helios’s arousal stimulating her from below.

“…You deliberately read the 2nd Prince’s letter in front of me, didn’t you?”

To see me lose my mind.

Under his burning gaze, Mint pretended to think for a moment.

“Well, did I? Now that I think about it, I think I wanted to see this kind of face… Mmph.”

Before Mint could finish her words, his lips covered hers.

“I have no intention of ruining Master anymore.”

“…”

“But just once, I’d like to see Master unable to even get up from bed.”

A chillingly low and husky voice pierced Mint’s ears.

Already aroused, Mint felt a tingling sensation down her spine.

“…Can we try it on the desk this time?”

At Mint’s following words, Helios smiled fiercely.

“I’ll have to keep what I said with my own mouth.”

* * *

Helios was a man who kept his promises. Should I admire my disciple’s sincerity?

I finally had to use Healing Kia, which I hadn’t been using.

‘This is unbelievable.’

When I opened my eyes, it was deep dawn.

The fact that we didn’t continue until morning like other days was proof of how intense what happened in between was compared to usual.

I never thought the day would come when I’d faint from doing it.

Should I call it gentlemanly that he didn’t continue with me after I fainted?

Even if it had been with a sleeping me, that probably wouldn’t have been bad either.

I looked at Helios’s face as he slept peacefully. His sleeping face looked like an angel.

I had seen an angel statue at the Imperial Palace, but Helios’s face looked more sculpted than the statue that was supposedly made by a Master Craftsman.

“Handsome.”

I murmured quietly, and an answer came from Helios with his eyes closed.

“…I know.”

“You weren’t sleeping?”

“I think I was sleeping until Master started touching me.”

For that to be true, there was no drowsiness in his breathing. I smiled slightly.

“Without pulling out?”

Helios didn’t answer. Instead, he just moved his body slightly and pulled me into his embrace.

I moaned softly at the stimulation he gave me.

“If you’re not going to sleep more, I’ll get up. It would be good to continue what we were doing.”

He must be suggesting we have a second round.

Mint briefly considered it. That wouldn’t be bad either, but.

“Can I go for a short walk?”

“…Suddenly?”

Helios opened his eyes drowsily.

His eyes were full of dissatisfaction. I covered Helios’s eyes with my palm.

Enjoying the pleasant sensation of his long eyelashes gently tickling my palm, I spoke leisurely.

“Little Lamb seems to be wandering.”
