Chapter 201
“You….”
“If you’re going to threaten me, at least do it outside the prison. You don’t have much time.”
Kanna Adis spoke with quiet finality.
“And the antidote to that poison—only I can make it.”
It was no idle threat.
That poison was the deadliest of deadly toxins, secretly concocted by Seon-hee to kill the Divine Spirit.
She had likely used it to murder his brother, Largos.
“If you don’t believe me, just kill me. Let’s go meet God together.”
“How dare you.”
When Alexandro Adis glared as though he would tear me apart that very instant, a chill ran down my spine.
But I could not stop. Now that I understood the Divine Spirit’s plan, I simply could not stop.
Kanna Adis spoke with unwavering resolve.
“Listen carefully, Alex. I swear by God—I am not a Black Apostle.”
Of course, Seon-hee is a Black Apostle. She was deceived by the Divine Spirit and performed countless alchemies with the Black Apostles.
‘But I am not.’
“Look at my condition. For someone living in shackles, don’t I look rather well?”
“….”
“The Priests give me nutritious food every single day. You know they only give potatoes to the Black Apostles, right?”
Alexandro Adis, who had been listening in silence, answered coldly.
“So you’re asking for my help now?”
“I’m begging you. You can take me out of this place, can’t you?”
“Is this how you make requests?”
“I’d say it’s quite courteous for a request made to someone who tried to strangle me.”
Kanna Adis took a step closer to him.
“So choose. Either die here with me, or survive together.”
“What guarantee do I have that you’ll treat me?”
“And I have no guarantee that you’ll let me live after I treat you.”
Alexandro Adis fell silent. After fierce calculation, he made his choice.
“I will definitely kill you.”
It was acceptance.
For now, I lived. Kanna Adis suppressed a sigh of relief and extended her hand.
“My name is Seon-hee. Pleased to work with you.”
* * *
But outside the prison, Enforcers and Temple officials were waiting.
“Lord Alexandro Adis, put that woman down!”
“Move.”
“That woman is under special supervision by the Grand Temple… Aaaahhh!”
Alexandro Adis seized the Priest by the throat and hurled him against the wall.
“Lord Alexandro Adis!”
“What in the world are you doing?!”
The Enforcers drew their swords. Alexandro Adis exhaled heavily, pressing a hand to his throbbing temples.
“What does it look like I’m doing to you fools?”
“You’re rebelling against the Divine Temple!”
“Fine, then that’s what I’m doing.”
Wait, this is too reckless!
As Kanna Adis froze in alarm, he turned his gaze sharply toward her.
“What are you doing?”
“What?”
“Hold on.”
Alexandro Adis pulled Kanna Adis toward him and hoisted her onto his back like cargo.
“Hold tight. I won’t pick you up if you fall.”
At those words, Kanna Adis quickly wrapped her arms around his neck. In that instant, Alexandro Adis moved.
‘Ah!’
Kanna Adis stifled her cry and clenched her teeth.
This felt like riding a roller coaster without safety bars!
At such tremendous speed, Kanna Adis clung to him with every ounce of strength she possessed.
How long had it been? Alexandro Adis had evaded the Enforcers’ pursuit and reached the Forest beyond the Divine Temple.
“Let go.”
Alexandro Adis shook her body off coldly.
Kanna Adis collapsed limply onto the grass. Her limbs trembled, her stomach churned, and she felt as though she might retch.
‘Ah, déjà vu.’
When she had escaped the Divine Temple clinging to Orsini in the past, it had felt much the same.
But it had never been this difficult. Seon-hee’s body was far more fragile than Kanna Adis’s future form.
No matter how well she had been fed, her body had been confined. Her basic physical condition could only be at rock bottom.
“Ugh.”
Moreover, she was in the early stages of pregnancy. Her condition was at its absolute worst.
“Is that all? I’ve freed you from the Prison, so now for the antidote….”
Just then, Kanna Adis retched violently. Alexandro Adis quickly stepped back.
‘I feel like I’m dying. Seon-hee’s body is incredibly frail.’
The world spun in circles, and everything inside her threatened to pour out of her mouth.
Yet remarkably, even in this state….
“…Strawberries.”
“What?”
“I want strawberries.”
Uttering the instinctive craving she had suppressed all this time without realizing it, Kanna Adis gently closed her eyes.
“What kind of woman is this….”
With Alexandro Adis’s exasperated voice as the last thing she heard, Kanna Adis lost consciousness.
* * *
Alexandro Adis could not believe this reality.
I went through all the trouble of breaking ties with the Divine Temple and escaping to obtain an antidote, only for her to collapse the moment she demanded strawberries.
Alexandro Adis contemplated the situation seriously.
Should I just abandon her and leave?
Leave this troublesome woman behind, go to the Physician, and ask him to create an antidote.
But without knowing what poison it is, there’s no way he could make an antidote.
Which meant I needed this woman.
‘Damn woman.’
Alexandro Adis gritted his teeth and cradled her in his arms. For now, I had to move to a safe location until she regained consciousness.
While walking, I discovered a small tree laden with wild strawberries.
“….”
After a moment’s hesitation, Alexandro Adis began picking wild strawberries with one hand while supporting the woman with the other.
“Damn it.”
Then, suddenly overcome with frustration, I hurled the strawberries away roughly.
* * *
‘The scent of strawberries.’
My eyes snapped open instantly.
Kanna Adis bolted upright. Sure enough, a heap of freshly picked wild strawberries lay piled beside me!
I reached out and grabbed a strawberry.
In that moment, I met eyes filled with contempt. I stared blankly at those eyes before a crushing wave of reality struck me.
‘What is wrong with me?’
Searching for strawberries the moment I wake up?
Having lived my entire life without knowing gluttony, this behavior was shocking.
‘So this is what it means to be pregnant.’
To become a slave to hormones to this extent. Pregnancy was no trivial matter.
I rose to my feet, feeling both self-reproach and regret simultaneously. Yet I defiantly popped a wild strawberry into my mouth and chewed it.
Only then did I speak.
“Thanks for the strawberries. You’re surprisingly kind.”
“Are you insane?”
“As I said, I’m pregnant. Sometimes I can’t help myself. Do you think this state is comfortable for me? I’m carrying a life—shouldn’t you show at least this much consideration?”
As I spoke, sadness welled up, and my words turned irritable by the end. At my absurd retort, Alexandro Adis seemed utterly flabbergasted.
“It’s not even my child. Why should I care? And why are you taking your frustration out on me?”
“…I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to. Anyway, thanks for the strawberries.”
Kanna Adis looked around. We were hidden beneath the shade of an enormous tree.
“You said they weren’t Black Apostles?”
Alexandro Adis, his pale face expressionless, tossed her bag at her.
“What are these records in your bag?”
“….”
“They were written in characters I couldn’t recognize.”
His words were correct.
Kanna Adis had brought along a diary that Seon-hee had written in Korean. And Alexandro Adis had already searched through her belongings while she was unconscious.
“That’s not all. She mutters strange words in her sleep. Is it a cipher of the Black Apostles?”
“No. It’s just a foreign language.”
“Don’t lie to me. There is no language on this Continent that I don’t know.”
Alexandro Adis fixed her with a sharp, piercing gaze.
“Who exactly are you?”
“Someone from another world. The characters recorded here are from my world’s writing system.”
I threw the truth at him bluntly, and murderous intent flickered in his eyes.
“Seeing you continue spouting nonsense, it seems you have a death wish.”
“You don’t even believe me anyway, so why ask?”
I brought this diary deliberately. For him to see. So he would grow suspicious of the unfamiliar characters.
‘He’ll definitely try to figure out what this record contains.’
He is an adversary of the Black Apostles. He cannot overlook something suspicious.
But since he won’t believe anything I tell him, he will attempt to decipher this diary himself.
Fortunately, this diary contains nothing but Seon-hee’s suffering.
It’s sad, it’s hard, that bastard Divine Spirit, I want to go home, I want to eat kimchi, I miss my husband and daughter, it’s hard—things like that.
If he reads a record filled only with such suffering, he might develop at least a shred of compassion.
‘Somehow, Alexandro Adis must come to feel affection for Seon-hee.’
Whether it’s friendship or pity.
Whatever it is, he must develop feelings close to affection.
Only then will I protect Seon-hee’s child. Because I am Kanna Adis.
‘If the Divine Temple obtains me—obtains Kanna—then everything ends.’
That is destruction.
‘So I must make Alexandro Adis keep me with him.’
Kanna moistened her parched lips.
That would probably succeed.
That’s why Alexandro raised Kanna.
He kept Kanna in Adis despite enduring relentless demands and attacks from the Divine Temple and the Black Apostles.
‘I made it that way.’
Making Alexandro Adis willing to raise Kanna.
That was what I had to do here.
‘But is that possible in just a few days?’
He’s still looking at me with eyes that want to kill me right now.
