Chapter 144
I covered my face with both hands.
“Tulia…? Are you crying…?”
“Crying?”
“Hey! Are you crying?! Look, hyung, what did I tell you? She’s been getting unnecessarily teary lately, right?”
No.
This wasn’t me crying because I was soft-hearted.
It was tears trickling out because I was so angry.
Here I am working so hard to survive as a petty villain, and these guys, just because they’re official Male Leads, are having a grand time beating each other up, killing, biting, tearing, and enjoying themselves…
“I really can’t stand the sight of any of you.”
“…Tulia?”
“Hey…”
“Uh, Tulia? Huh?”
Voices clearly flustered.
But I was serious. I really had no idea these crazy Male Leads would cause such a ruckus with fistfights and curses the moment they met.
What are they planning to do if even one of them gets hurt or dies?
Do only you guys matter?
Do you?!
As my thoughts spiraled, even a hint of sadness began turning into anger.
That’s right. Tulia was still a villain suffering from anger management issues!
I clenched my molars tight.
“This Belus Territory is land where I am the master, so if you don’t want to be banished forever.”
“…”
“Could all three of you please return to your assigned rooms?”
If it weren’t for Lisian, I would have said “get lost.”
Whatever. If my Affection Level drops, just kill me.
I didn’t bother checking their expressions or moods anymore. I just turned around abruptly and headed back to the castle.
A few days later.
After completely planting the white tulia seeds and finalizing the employment of Belus Territory’s farmers to tend the flower garden, I returned to the main castle alone.
That’s right.
Tulia’s anger management issues were sometimes enough to overcome Kim Ddongbyeol’s trolling.
* * *
“I see. Hmm.”
Assis Grand Duke Frazier gazed at the young man before him.
Straight shoulders and long limbs.
In contrast, the back of his hands showed refined bone structure as if he’d endured hardships.
But his eyes were particularly bright blue, and a divine guardian-like vitality flowed throughout his gaze.
Above all, his remarkably unique and outstanding appearance was indeed striking enough to stand out even among a group of vagrants and eventually lead to a nation’s founding myth.
In short, he was someone born with a predator’s bloodline.
“I know of the Lupinus Kingdom. Isn’t it a country not far from my wife’s homeland?”
“…”
“You owe a life debt to Tulia, so you must repay it according to Lupinus Royal Family law.”
Assis Grand Duke thought of Tulia.
His granddaughter, who had returned to the main castle earlier, had come to see him first.
“Grandfather. I witnessed sorcerers performing human sacrifices in Belus Territory. It didn’t seem like a one-time occurrence.”
“Yes. I too heard about it from Samut, Tulia.”
He had already heard about whatever happened between her and the twins.
His granddaughter’s behavior of discussing official matters first while setting aside such personal affairs was quite admirable.
He had already been investigating that matter, so just as he was exchanging a few words with Tulia.
Within minutes, reports came that carriages were arriving one after another.
The twins.
And that prince born with the Wolf King’s bloodline.
Along with unexpected puzzling news, or rather, quite shocking information.
“You say the submission has been placed on Tulia.”
“That’s right.”
“Summer Continent magic, yes, I’m quite familiar with it too.”
“I’m familiar with it too. The story of you fighting Princess Rishian and succeeding in marriage is famous even in the Summer Continent… Ah!”
Klaus Rosevar, who had been prowling around Assis Grand Duke like prey, screamed.
Because Tulia had grabbed and yanked his hair.
“Where do you get off speaking casually to my grandfather? Don’t you know the age difference? Can’t you speak respectfully?”
“Ah, I get it! …Your actions back then are famous, so I know about them.”
“Your Highness.”
“Your Highness’s actions back then are famous, so I know about them.”
‘He’s practically like Tulia’s servant.’
That was fine.
“Can the submission not be broken?”
“Yeah. Ow! Yes. That’s correct. For now, that’s how it is.”
“‘For now’ means? There’s a way to break it then.”
Assis Grand Duke’s eyes gleamed sharply.
* * *
Before continuing, Assis Grand Duke briefly sent Tulia away.
“Right. As I mentioned before, I’ve heard quite a lot about Summer Continent magic.”
“Uh.”
As soon as Tulia left, he immediately dropped formalities. The Grand Duke didn’t mind much.
The Summer Continent had many oddballs. Especially the Lupinus Kingdom’s royalty was famous for their Wolf King bloodline’s characteristic pride and arrogance that pierced the heavens.
“But Wolf’s Submission is very ancient and complex magic, so to break it, don’t you need the Lupinus Kingdom’s national treasure?”
“That’s right.”
Klaus nodded indifferently.
“I won’t allow you to take my granddaughter to the Summer Continent. That place is too far and dangerous.”
The Lupinus Kingdom had numerous princes and princesses, and to seize the throne, they even had a unique culture of literally killing each other until one person survived in succession wars.
Traces of the wild. Origins of beasts.
There were no exceptions.
“I wasn’t planning to take her either. I can’t take my girl to a dangerous place… Ow!”
“If you refer to my granddaughter as ‘your girl’ one more time, know that you’ll die.”
Klaus, who had been literally struck in the head with a mace-like fist, bared his fangs.
“What else should I call my girl but mine? Ow! Damn, you ridiculously strong old man!”
“You go yourself, win the succession war, and bring Lupinus’s national treasure to the Spring Continent. I can’t allow anything else.”
“I was going to do that anyway.”
“Are you leaving right now then?”
“I can’t go right now.”
“Why can’t you go?”
Klaus Rosevar glanced toward the office door where Tulia had walked out.
“Because I’ll literally die without her for the time being. Ow! Why are you hitting me again, damn old man!”
“I’m telling you again, I cannot allow you to cling to my granddaughter in that state. Are you trying to cause strange rumors about our granddaughter?”
“Ah. Right. If that’s the concern, don’t worry.”
“Don’t worry? What are you planning to do?”
Klaus rolled up his left sleeve. A moment later.
Grand Duke Assis showed rare surprised eyes.
* * *
‘Phew. I did come back to the main castle in anger for now.’
But somehow it got resolved.
Both the twins and that prince guy came chasing after me in a hurry.
We reconciled to some extent.
More precisely, my heart softened ridiculously when I received their gift offensive. As expected, people need to receive material things to cool their anger.
I was satisfied with Tulia’s materialistic nature and lay stretched out flat on my stomach on the bed.
Knock knock.
“Come in.”
“Noble Lady Tulia.”
‘Ah. This title is.’
I sat up.
Through the door came those crawling on all fours. They were Klaus Rosevar’s subordinates.
‘Other people’s subordinates reading my mood to this extent!’
They were even calling me ‘Noble Lady’ now.
“What’s the matter?”
“The conversation between Noble Lady’s grandfather, His Grace Grand Duke Frazier, went well.”
“Oh. And?”
“We have a duty to report this situation to His Majesty our King…”
“Make sure to tell His Majesty the King so he doesn’t faint.”
“Of course. Of course.”
“Then farewell.”
“No, no!”
“Hm?”
“We can leave, but that…”
“I can’t go. Take responsibility for me.”
A voice that cut off the subordinates’ troubled voices.
“…?”
I saw one little puppy pushing past the subordinates and trotting in.
So, with grayish-white fur.
Bright blue eyes.
A cute puppy…
“I’ll wither and die without you because of the submission, so I have to stay by your side.”
…that talks?
The little puppy, no, Klaus, who jumped onto the bed and curled up in my arms, said.
“Give them plenty of travel money. I’ll repay you sufficiently with the treasures in my castle.”
“Uh…”
“Travel safely.”
“Yes, Prince!”
“Please take care of your precious body, Prince Klaus. Don’t upset Noble Lady’s mood…”
“We’ll return as an official embassy procession with His Majesty the King’s permission.”
“Got it. Find out when the succession war is too.”
“Of course we will!”
“Go on.”
“Yes, sir!”
“Yes, sir!”
Humans kneeling and bowing respectfully to a little puppy.
And watching that fluffy tail wagging right in front of my eyes…
“Are you Klaus?”
“Yeah.”
“Klaus Rosevar?”
“Yeah. You’re mine. No, I’m yours.”
“Wow…”
‘Huh.’
Huh huh huh huh huh?
This kind of thing didn’t appear in the game!
It was the moment I could hear my pride as a seasoned player crashing to pieces.
