106.

What the hell happened?

“This damn…!”

As soon as Lillian regained consciousness, she started cursing.

She used to avoid swearing because she was from a noble family, but too much had happened by now.

The body of the man bound in chains was hanging limply.

‘That bastard used forbidden magic!’

【Nightmare Summoning】.

He used black magic that squeezed out all the life force from his body, not an ability!

If you’re hit by this technique, even if you see the end of the nightmare and escape, your soul gets destroyed.

‘The villain took it instead of me.’

Lillian shook the body of the villain who had protected her.

“Ren, wake up…!”

Mocking laughter came from across the way.

“Kuk…”

The tattered Caspian Levernent was sneering at them.

“What a ridiculous sight, Tarandia.”

“You…!”

“Ha, since you stole someone else’s fate…”

Cough. Red blood came from Caspian’s mouth.

Could a person accept death so meekly like that?

‘…No!’

Those bastards are heretics from beyond the strait.

They were the ones who tried to supplement the shortcomings of ability users with magic.

Since that included black magic, he must have taken out ‘insurance.’

So this isn’t suicide but escape!

‘You think I’ll let you go quietly!’

Lillian ran toward Caspian.

When Caspian saw Lillian, he smiled faintly.

“Oh my, bride… I’m sorry, what should I do. You must have been looking forward to talking with me.”

“Someone who was about to use forbidden magic was looking forward to it? Ha!”

“You shine more than I thought… It became precious, but it can’t be helped.”

Caspian narrowed his eyes and smiled.

“You’re too much for an ability user.”

“So you’re going to run away like this?”

Not a chance.

Thanks to you, I even awakened a new ability.

“You can’t run away from me anymore.”

“…!”

Lillian pressed her palm against Caspian’s forehead like stamping a mark.

“No matter where you run, I’ll chase after you…!”

There was no ‘intimacy’ toward this man. That would be crazy.

But if you’re my ridiculous ‘groom.’

‘I should be able to control an ability user’s mind!’

There must be at least a minimal connection given by God!

‘…! I can grasp it.’

This human’s consciousness, what could perhaps be called a soul!

It leaves a trace. It leaves an eternal mark!

Only then did Caspian writhe in pain.

Soon his body went limp. There was no more time to pay attention to this side.

Lillian hurriedly ran toward the villain.

“Ren! Ren, are you okay-!”

Lillian flinched.

The chain pattern on the villain’s neck was glowing.

It was an ominously dark red color that looked sinister to anyone.

“…!”

It was an emergency.

‘This isn’t because of an ability rampage.’

The mark is affected by the marked target…!

…Was Lillian the cause?

‘Huh? But what did I do?’

He’s in this much pain from nightmares about me?

* * *

Lillian Tillard was sick for a long time.

Even during the ‘final war.’

The war against Prince Kail and Iris Tillard.

If it had been before, the odds of winning would have been high.

But his body was already quite damaged from the rampage.

The war lasted longer than expected.

And even in the barracks, the woman continued to be bedridden.

‘At least I saved her.’

Now I’ll eliminate everything that made this woman cry before I die.

That’s enough.

But Lillian Tillard looked extremely anxious.

“Why on earth did you save me?”

There wasn’t really a reason, so I didn’t answer.

As long as she doesn’t die, that’s enough.

“Are you thinking of using me as a hostage? But I’m of no use-.”

“Who doesn’t know that. That you’re useless.”

“…”

“You’re powerless. The whole world knows, so why state the obvious.”

The woman’s complexion visibly worsened.

Really, what’s the problem…

Evren could immediately recognize anger or hatred, these ‘negative’ things.

However, due to his confined life, his understanding of complex human psychology had hit rock bottom.

“Other people say that because of me, you’re not looking for a Controller.”

“…”

“Is that really true?”

“Haha. Nonsense.”

Anyway, at that point, he had already passed the critical point.

Even if he brought the world’s greatest Controller, physical collapse was imminent.

That’s why he didn’t bother seeking Controllers or control stones.

…And maybe he didn’t like the idea of any human other than this woman touching him.

Just a little bit.

“I know you’re completely useless, and I know well that you can’t do anything.”

“…”

“So stop asking the same question over and over-.”

“I hate you so much.”

He froze.

Lillian was shedding tears drop by drop.

“I know you saved me, but still-.”

Evren clenched his fist so hard that blood stopped flowing.

“How unfortunate. That a man you hate brought you here.”

“….”

“But what can you do now, where will you go back to with that body? Your fiancé? That precious Tillard Family?”

“….”

“Who in this world is waiting for you, when everyone has abandoned you.”

When you wasted your whole life being kind to those things.

“But then, why won’t you.”

Why aren’t you kind to me.

Why….

Why won’t you smile like you did in that tower.

I came out of that tower because those things that made you cry bothered me.

Rage surged to the top of his head.

He stormed out of the barracks.

He thought everything would be resolved once he properly met Lillian Tillard outside the tower.

But why does the woman only suffer?

Why does he also only hurt whenever he sees such a woman?

Then suddenly a burning pain flared up in his neck.

“…Ha.”

Evren slowly felt around his neck.

A pain like being stabbed with a red-hot needle arose in the mark’s pattern.

…Breath.

“Haah.”

He was short of breath.

No, he could endure that.

The problem was the pain from the mark.

Because the one he was marked with hated and rejected him.

‘…Because the opposite is needed.’

Love is needed.

Because that isn’t being given.

So the mark judged that ‘this body’ was useless.

“Cough…!”

It was as painful as if his heart was being crushed.

This won’t do.

Ren.

Let’s tear open the ribcage and eliminate this troublesome source of pain.

Ren. Please wake up.

But then his real heart cried out.

Ah, wake up!

* * *

Smooch.

Lillian carefully pressed her lips to his cheek.

‘It seems to be working…!’

The ominous color of the mark had faded compared to before.

When the dark red vein-like light from that mark headed toward his heart, Lillian was also shocked.

‘What on earth is the mark trying to do?’

Holding and massaging his hand, touching his cheek – nothing worked.

So she did that thing this man had been doing first recently….

That thing he does on the cheek.

And it seems to be working!

‘One more time?’

She pressed her lips to the opposite cheek once more.

Not just one place, but a few more spots.

The frightening color gradually grew fainter.

Lillian held his hand and whispered.

“Your Highness, Ren.”

It was just pressing lips to cheeks a few times.

Yet strangely, her breath rose up to her chin.

“It’ll be okay. Right?”

Lillian rested her head against his chest.

Gradually his breathing calmed down.

Lillian whispered.

She didn’t know what would become jerky to throw at this person.

But she wanted to say this.

“Let’s finish everything quickly and go to the castle, go home.”

Home. What a strange word.

But saying let’s go to the castle sounds a bit odd. The nuance isn’t good.

Then the Villain slowly stroked the back of Lillian’s head.

“…Lily.”

“Ren, are you okay…!”

At that moment he pulled Lillian into an embrace as if to crush her.

“…!”

“Why do you struggle so much. Why do you avoid me.”

“Ren, what are you-.”

“Do you still …hate me to death? Sick of the sight of me?”

“Huh?”

“But it’s useless now.”

The Villain buried his face in Lillian’s shoulder and whispered.

“You have to stay with me… to the end this time.”
