Chapter 225

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Car, we’re looking for it! Young Lord!”

 

“If you can’t find it, know that everyone here will die!”

 

Leon was shouting at the top of his lungs while rescuing a noble lady who had almost been attacked by a monster.

 

She grabbed onto Leon’s leg and clung to him annoyingly.

 

“Why are you doing this! Go over there!”

 

“Young Lord Leon!”

 

But the noble lady’s voice was louder.

 

“That viscount was speaking ill of Grand Duchess Tulia earlier!”

 

“What?”

 

“So there’s no need to protect him like that! My husband took the Grand Duchess’s side! Please find my husband first!”

 

The face of the viscount, who had been sticking close behind Leon Frazier in the safest nearby spot, turned pale.

 

“Th-these despicable couple…!”

 

Those words were essentially confessing the truth.

 

The viscount nearly fainted on the spot from Leon Frazier glaring at him with murderous intent.

 

“Ack!”

 

“Get lost!”

 

“Hueok!”

 

The viscount, kicked by Leon’s foot, crawled over to the Holy Knights and trembled violently.

 

“What does your husband look like!”

 

“When he was young, he was a handsome man to my taste, and now that he’s older, he’s a middle-aged man to my taste…!”

 

How was he supposed to find someone with that description…!

 

“Ah, right!”

 

The noble lady shouted with disheveled hair.

 

“And Grand Duchess Tulia went into the Temple of Light with His Highness the Crown Prince!”

 

Leon, who had been about to throw this noble lady toward the Holy Knights as well, hesitated. He carried the noble lady on his back and strode forward.

 

“Y-you cannot enter here!”

 

“What?”

 

“This is a sacred place that cannot be entered without the High Priest’s permission…!”

 

“Then bring the High Priest!”

 

“W-we don’t know where he is!”

 

“You crazy bastards!”

 

Sparks flew from Leon’s eyes.

 

“If I can’t get in right now! And even a hair on my younger sibling gets hurt, I’ll…!”

 

“War.”

 

“Right! I’ll start a war… war?”

 

That’s too big a decision for me to make alone, isn’t it? I don’t even have that authority in the first place, do I?

 

Leon reflexively turned around and blinked.

 

Lisian was already walking this way.

 

“Brother? War?”

 

“Yes.”

 

The Grand Temple had always been very fond of Lisian Frazier. He had always been gentle, upright, neat, and soft in attitude, serving as a model for many noble lords.

 

“Territorial war.”

 

The priests had never known that this white-haired young man, who always wore a faint smile, could make such a cold expression, and their knees went weak.

 

It felt different from Leon Frazier making a fierce face. It felt like the despair one would feel if abandoned by an angel they had prayed to their entire life.

 

“Hey, hey.”

 

Leon kicked a priest and spoke viciously.

 

“You heard, right? If you don’t open the door within 3 seconds, whether my younger sibling is hurt or fine, the Grand Duke Frazier House will declare territorial war against the Grand Temple! 3, 2…”

 

Bang!

 

“Ack!”

 

“Young Lord!”

 

“Stupidly waiting for that again!”

 

Leon, who had been pretending to count while kicking the priests, rushed inside.

 

Before following him in, Lisian quietly swung his sword first.

 

“…!”

 

The monsters that had been crawling to devour the fallen priests were cut down in one stroke.

 

“What is… the temple… calling… these things… now?”

 

The priests, who had nearly lost their lives in the blink of an eye, trembled and spilled everything they knew.

 

“C-creatures! We’re calling them creatures…!”

 

“Creatures…”

 

Lisian’s light green eyes turned cold. The monsters were called monsters, but they actually had human forms.

 

Corpses that had been dead for so long they looked like dried, withered mummies with no life in them at all.

 

They used their bizarrely transformed bodies to endlessly harm people.

 

“Young Master!”

 

Lisian gave brief orders to the Frazier Knights following behind and entered the back garden.

 

 

 

* * *

 

 

 

‘These bastards… they’re similar!’

 

When I went to get the white Tulia seeds, there were piles of corpses there.

 

I didn’t have the stomach to look at corpses for long, so I quickly looked away, but now an unknown intuition was telling me.

 

That those corpses and these monsters seemed strangely similar.

 

‘Could this be it? Since Coriko was demoted to a villain role and the female lead position became vacant, did I perhaps become the female lead by chance?’

 

Is that why I developed this special intuition called the female lead’s sense?

 

At this point, even if someone said I had female lead obsession syndrome, I’d have nothing to say, but I really envied that position.

 

‘If it weren’t for that, I wouldn’t have been caught up in this horror story…!’

 

I carefully opened my tightly shut eyes. And as soon as I opened them slightly, I almost screamed.

 

Right in front.

 

Blood was flowing from two gaping eye sockets. It was the face of a priest who had just died with his eyes gouged out right in front of me.

 

His mouth was wide open because he had died screaming, frozen stiff.

 

I closed my eyes again.

 

Tears streamed down my cheeks. I was scared but couldn’t scream. I was currently hiding among the corpses of dead monsters and priests.

 

‘Those priest bastards… bastards…’

 

I cursed incessantly in my mind.

 

If it weren’t for them.

 

 

 

“Your Highness the Crown Prince! Please protect the Saint!”

 

“Saint! You must live! You absolutely must live!”

 

 

 

If they hadn’t suddenly thrown Coriko to Ferdinand, asking him to protect the saint.

 

 

 

“Aaah!”

 

“Run away!”

 

 

 

And if they hadn’t come running to me leading the monsters, begging me to save them, I wouldn’t have ended up in this state.

 

‘You should have just stayed hidden inside the temple! Why did you open the door and come out to make me like this…!’

 

If I had just waited properly inside the Temple of Light, I could have protected Coriko too, and I wouldn’t have been suddenly swept away by the crowd and separated from Ferdinand!

 

I was so terrified. I had clearly seen these unidentified monsters tear out the priests’ eyes while they were still alive. My whole body trembled as if I was about to die at any moment.

 

‘I’ve already used the Protection Barrier once. Now I only have one left…’

 

But there were far too many monsters crawling around the Temple Garden. I knew well that I could never escape from here alone.

 

“Save me! Save me! Save…! Sa…! Aaah!”

 

As I covered my mouth with both hands and trembled, I heard another scream of someone being devoured nearby.

 

I squeezed my eyes shut even tighter. I felt like I was going insane. The sound of movement was getting closer and closer to me.

 

‘No…’

 

Was there just one monster? Really just one? Could there be only one?

 

Hissss. Hissss. Hissss.

 

Could I escape? How would I escape? Where would I escape to?

 

Hissss. Hissss. Hissss.

 

Thud.

 

With the sound of the tower made of corpses collapsing, dead blood splattered on my face. The shadow disappeared and light stabbed my eyes.

 

I barely opened my eyes.

 

Grin.

 

I saw eyeless monsters surrounding me, smiling brightly with their torn mouths…

 

‘Fuck… It’s all over…’

 

Closing my eyes right before death was a reflexive action. No one could keep their eyes wide open in such a nightmarish situation.

 

But.

 

But still, I opened my eyes.

 

‘I’m going to run.’

 

I’ll escape even if it’s just out of spite.

 

‘How have I survived until now.’

 

When the monsters all pounce at once, I’ll burst through that gap.

 

If I put up the Protection Barrier, there will be one chance. If there are other monsters outside, then I’ll be torn apart and die…

 

‘Now!’

 

I activated the Protection Barrier with my eyes and bit down hard, springing out like a coil to find an opening as fast as lightning. A few strands of my hair were cut off and scattered in the air.

 

The monsters made no sound at all. I just felt death-like chills from the futile killing intent felt right behind me.

 

But my running was brief, just as my barely holding Protection Barrier was about to be torn apart.

 

“…!”

 

Strong arms embraced me. A thick smell of blood hit me. When I reflexively opened my eyes that I had closed.

 

I realized that eyes redder than fresh blood were looking down at me.

 

When I turned around, the monsters that had tried to catch me and gouge out my eyes were already cut in half and sprawled on the ground.

 

“…Are you alright?”

 

“Crown Prince…”

 

A beat late, I realized that Ferdinand’s clothes were even redder than mine.

 

Whose blood was all this? Was Ferdinand hurt?

 

That couldn’t be. He’s the male protagonist, right? Since he’s the male protagonist who has grown up this safely, this blood is…

 

“Blood… Blood…”

 

However, my mouth couldn’t follow my head. My current state must look like an idiot on the verge of becoming a fool from receiving too much shock.

 

“Blood…”

 

Then.

 

“I’m sorry.”

 

Ferdinand pulled me tightly into his arms.

 

“I’m sorry for letting you go. Tulia Frazier…”

 

Crying from now on would definitely be in the realm of instinct.

 

“Ferdi, Nant…”

 

Tears burst out. I buried my face in Ferdinand’s embrace and cried loudly.
