Chapter 200
“You.”
Alexandro Adis, who had been observing her, stepped closer with a long stride. As he did, half of his face emerged from the darkness into the moonlight.
“Why did you lure me here?”
As expected. She knew those fabricated stories were merely a pretext to meet him.
‘This is where it truly matters.’
Manipulating Alexandro Adis to move at my whim is an extraordinarily, extraordinarily, extraordinarily difficult task.
And orchestrating the escape of one known as the Black Apostle would be a nightmare of impossible difficulty.
‘From here on, it’s psychological warfare.’
Kanna Adis stared at him intently, then smiled.
“It seems you’re the one interested in me.”
“Interested?”
At those words, Alexandro Adis’s lips twisted into a sneer.
“Nonsense. Do you really think I want to drag someone like you to a chamber?”
“Of course not. You simply wanted to cause a disturbance in the Divine Temple, didn’t you?”
At that, Alexandro Adis fell silent. It seemed an unexpected answer. And likely a direct hit.
“You shouldn’t hate the Divine Temple, Alex. The Divine Spirit would be displeased.”
“…Alex?”
“Ah, you disliked that nickname?”
Alexandro Adis did not respond. Then, without warning, he reached out and seized the bars. With a sharp crack, he wrenched them sideways and bent them in one motion.
‘Insane.’
That tremendous display of raw strength sent a chill down Kanna Adis’s spine.
Just like Orsini’s father—he was doing exactly the same thing!
“That’s not all I dislike. I especially despise a prisoner like you seeking the Divine Spirit.”
Every muscle in her body tensed. He crossed over the bars and approached slowly, his presence so oppressive it made her spine crawl.
“If I break your neck here, will the Divine Spirit strike me down?”
A cruel smile played at the corners of his lips.
“You should pray for my mercy instead, Black Apostle.”
“…I am.”
Kanna Adis clenched her fists and barely managed to squeeze out a composed voice.
“Not a Black Apostle.”
The next moment, he seized her throat. He shoved her down violently, forcing her backward.
“…!”
The back of her head struck the pillow roughly.
He muttered coldly, his eyes sinister.
“Not a Black Apostle? Did I come all this way to hear such nonsense?”
Her throat felt like it would burst!
Yet Alexandro Adis remained perfectly calm, as though he were accustomed to watching his opponent struggle.
“Think carefully before you speak. If your next words fail to capture my interest….”
The corners of his mouth lifted.
“Send me to God.”
Finally, the hand released from my throat. I gasped roughly and coughed.
I truly thought I was going to die.
‘That brute…!’
I never imagined having my throat strangled by Alexandro Adis. I’d heard that Orsini resembled Alexandro in his youth, but it was true!
“What are you that the Divine Temple is protecting you so carefully? And….”
He paused mid-sentence.
“Where did you hear about the carrot?”
That damned carrot again!
I glared at him with resentful eyes and touched my aching throat.
“I’m your adopted daughter that you raised in the future.”
“….”
“I came from the future.”
“….”
“I’m temporarily possessing this woman’s body.”
Fearing he might strangle me again, I quickly spoke while shielding my neck with both shackled hands.
But it was a futile defense. I didn’t even have time to comprehend what was happening.
He seized my collar and shoved me violently back onto the bed. Then came the heavy weight of his body pressing down on mine.
My face went deathly pale at what unfolded in an instant.
“What is this…!”
But his large hand covered my mouth. He lowered his face to my ear and whispered.
“You’d better stay quiet.”
As his lips brushed my earlobe, I trembled violently in shock. Goosebumps erupted across my entire body.
‘He’s insane!’
I wanted to scream that, but in that instant, as our legs tangled, rational thought shut down. I was too startled even to cry out—my scream was trapped in my throat.
Alexandro Adis was doing this?
How could he do this to a prisoner, this beast, this, this trash…!
“Lord Alexandro!”
Just as my heart felt ready to burst, the Priest’s scream pierced the air. The Priest who had guided Alexandro this morning came rushing in.
“What are you doing right now!”
Alexandro still had me pinned as he merely turned his head. And he smiled like a villain.
“Caught.”
“W-what on earth are you doing! Why that woman…!”
“I told you. I’ll interrogate her myself.”
My lips trembled beneath his palm, completely crushed. I couldn’t move at all. I could only breathe in his raw, masculine scent pressing down on me.
“Stop this and come out, leave that woman!”
“What is this woman? Is there some reason the Divine Temple must protect her so specially?”
The Priest’s words suddenly caught in his throat.
“I didn’t know you were showing such careful consideration to a prisoner.”
“…Lord Alexandro.”
“A high priest coming to check on things at this hour of the morning?”
He laughed.
“Quite the special treatment, wouldn’t you say?”
“….”
The Priest glared at Alexandro Adis fiercely before launching into his rebuke.
“Bewitched by a woman’s beauty, you desecrate the sacred Divine Temple with such chaos! And your paramour is none other than a Black Apostle! I never imagined you capable of such lechery!”
“Now that you know, why don’t you leave?”
Alexandro Adis added coldly.
“If you insist on watching, then stay.”
Silence descended. After an intense internal struggle, the Priest finally exhaled a sigh and muttered.
“…You must hurry. I will wait outside.”
“Hurry? That’s quite the difficult request.”
“Alexandro Adis!”
“It would be better if you didn’t wait. If standing for hours on end is your hobby, I won’t stop you.”
The Priest finally threw his hands up in resignation.
“You must leave before dawn breaks. Only then can I keep this matter secret. Do you understand?”
“I understand. Now go.”
Once the Priest left, Alexandro Adis recoiled from her as though he’d been contaminated by filth. His entire demeanor screamed disgust.
That was absurd.
I was the one who’d been pinned down, the one who nearly died of fright, yet that was his reaction?
“Damn it.”
Alexandro Adis cursed as he looked at Kanna Adis.
Her upper garment was torn halfway open—ripped when he’d grabbed her and shoved her roughly.
He stripped off his shirt and hurled it at her.
“….”
Was he telling me to put it on?
Kanna Adis stared blankly at the shirt thrown onto her lap, then raised both arms.
“Cut them off. I can’t put on clothes like this.”
“….”
“If you don’t want to, then dress me yourself.”
Snap!
Without further persuasion, Alexandro Adis severed the shackles with his bare hands. The cruelly mangled wrists were now exposed.
‘Poor Mother.’
Kanna Adis felt a surge of compassion as she gathered up the shirt he’d thrown and put it on.
Having surrendered his garment, Alexandro Adis’s muscular, toned torso was now completely bare, yet he seemed utterly indifferent.
He asked a question.
“I’m asking one last time. What exactly are you?”
“….”
“What is it that makes the Divine Temple react so sensitively to your presence?”
This would likely be the very last time.
If I couldn’t move him this time, there would be no next opportunity.
“I’m pregnant with the Divine Spirit’s child.”
In that instant, all expression drained from Alexandro Adis’s face.
“The Divine Spirit is obsessed with me. That’s why I was kidnapped like this… and became pregnant with a child I never wanted.”
“Pregnant?”
He contorted his face as though he’d heard the most bizarre word imaginable.
“You’re pregnant with the Divine Spirit’s child?”
“Yes.”
“The Divine Spirit was male?”
…
“I thought he was female.”
…Surprisingly, he had his scatterbrained moments.
Then again, when I first saw the Divine Spirit’s face, I’d thought he was female too.
“He’s male. Very healthy, and absolutely insane.”
I pushed myself up from the bed. But I immediately collapsed back down. It had been far too long since I’d stood on both legs, and they simply wouldn’t obey.
‘Damn Divine Spirit.’
I struggled to rise again. Wobbling unsteadily, I made my way to the desk and sat down. I opened the drawer and found the ring Seon-hee had hidden away.
Seon-hee was undoubtedly mad, yet she never abandoned life for even a single moment.
‘She really is my mother.’
I slipped the ring onto my finger and exhaled slowly.
Then an absurd craving for strawberries surged through me, but I suppressed it. This was no time to become a slave to hormones.
“That’s why the Divine Temple’s Priests are watching me. Because I’m carrying the Divine Spirit’s child.”
“You’re asking me to believe that now?”
“Don’t ask if you won’t believe.”
“Fine, let’s say that’s true.”
Alexandro Adis’s eyes sharpened once more.
“How did you know I think carrots are a dreadful vegetable better off extinct?”
Wait, I didn’t actually know that…
“You’re quite the picky eater, Alex.”
“Shut your mouth and answer my questions.”
“How can I answer if my mouth is shut?”
I retorted defiantly and staggered forward, looking as though I might collapse at any moment. My movements were feeble and unsteady.
No man would bother guarding a woman who’d been shackled for so long, one who could barely walk.
Alexandro Adis was no exception.
“Oof!”
When I stumbled again in front of him, he furrowed his brow.
“I can’t get my strength back. Help me up…”
“You’re something else.”
He sighed and seized my arm. In that moment.
‘I’m sorry!’
I pressed the ring against the back of his hand, leaving a sharp mark.
“…!”
Alexandro Adis’s eyes widened. He shoved me away and staggered backward in a single motion.
Something—a distinctly sharp sensation—had pierced the back of his hand!
“What have you done?”
“What have I done, you ask?”
I rose to my feet with an eerie composure, my posture perfectly straight as though I had never wavered at all.
“I’ve injected poison into your body.”
“…What?”
“Of course, I know that ordinary toxins barely affect you. But this poison can kill even a god.”
Indeed, Alexandro Adis’s eyes began to swirl with confusion.
Dizziness was already setting in!
“Take me out of this Prison, and I’ll create an antidote for you. Otherwise.”
I smiled.
“I’ll send you to meet your god.”
