107.

Lillian blinked her eyes.

What did the villain just say?

Then the villain cupped Lillian’s cheeks in his hands.

“Why. Is being with me so disgusting to you?”

“Huh?”

“Do you hate it because I look terrible, because you despise me?”

Why is this human so extreme?

That she despised the villain. She had never felt that way.

‘I am scared though.’

She didn’t show it while living, but in truth, Lillian was somewhat wary of this person.

Just in case, sometimes, if things went wrong, he might turn Lillian back into that pink rabbit from long ago.

Even now he was displaying spider web marks on his face.

But the problem was that this man seemed more affectionate than other people.

And it also seemed like he asked Lillian what she wanted without any calculations…

Whenever this man did that, her heart creaked slightly as if joints had formed in it.

“No, I don’t hate you-.”

But the villain didn’t even listen to her answer.

Instead, he hugged Lillian as if he would crush her.

“Ughhhhh…!”

She was going to die from spinal fracture right after being declared a saint.

She really wished he would remember that his own strength was S-rank.

The bodies of average people who aren’t ability users are different.

“Ren-! Wait.”

Before crying out to examine her spine, Lillian’s eyes widened in surprise.

This human’s body was like a ball of fire.

‘Why is an S-rank ability user’s body like this?’

High-rank ability users are the type who remain fine even after fighting for days and nights without sleep.

So having a fever like this was something to faint over.

Just then, sounds came from outside.

“Your Highness! Miss! Are you alright!”

“Sir Jeanne…!”

Lillian awkwardly got up from the floor.

“I’m fine, but Your Highness is-.”

Lillian blinked her eyes.

An unpleasant burning sensation was rising from the nape of her neck.

“Ugh…”

Come to think of it, she had also used her newly awakened ability on Caspian earlier.

Damn, she was going to get scolded by Marguerite again and be wrapped up tightly in blankets.

“…Lily. Lily!”

Hearing the villain calling her, Lillian thought blankly.

She should go to the workshop first and check if the Nightfall fragment was intact…

‘Now I completely understand why the imprint needs to be released…’

Imprint? Not romantic at all.

Seeing how painfully it made them suffer, it was a custom that should have been abolished.

‘The ancestors’ wisdom really can’t be ignored.’

Lillian lost consciousness just like that.

* * *

The castle was in complete chaos.

Miss is sick again!

And ‘that’ Your Highness is sick…!?

And it’s a terrible fever, not a rampage?

The physician was at a loss.

“I, I’m sorry, Your Highness. I don’t know exactly what’s causing this either…”

“I’m fine.”

Evren waved his hand.

“I’m fine, so just examine Lily’s condition properly.”

“Yes.”

“But don’t look at her when examining.”

“Pardon?”

“Don’t make eye contact either, and refrain from unnecessary conversation.”

“Ah. Yes.”

…He means to examine her… right?

After the somewhat confused physician left.

Evren clutched his chest area again.

It was because he recalled the scene where Lillian said she ‘hated’ and ‘despised’ him.

‘What kind of memory was that anyway.’

How much effort had he put in all this time to keep Lillian from being broken.

That Lillian was abandoned, that she was powerless…

Had he really spouted such bullshit randomly?

‘I couldn’t have done that.’

However, the despair in that nightmare was too vivid.

Lillian hating me.

Lillian shedding tears because of what I said.

‘Not loving me…’

“Ha.”

Just thinking that made his fever rise again.

It was because the ‘imprint’ was causing a ruckus.

If you’re not going to be loved by your imprint partner, why live.

Just die instead.

‘Does anyone not want to receive it?’

Damn it.

Evren couldn’t bear the thought itself being painful and got up from his seat.

He went out to the terrace.

A nightmare of Lillian bleeding and crying.

He had fallen for a shitty trick, but there was exactly one useful point.

‘Now I finally know what I want.’

Why he felt like he was going crazy with his insides burning every time he saw Lillian.

Even though he knew Lillian was originally beautiful, why she looked even prettier.

He wanted to have everything, but at the same time, why even touching a single joint of Lillian’s fingers felt too precious…

Love.

Because he wanted to receive that from Lillian.

He entered Lillian’s workshop in the garden.

The workbench was messy due to recent confetti concerns.

But Evren easily found the item he had come looking for.

“…Why are you so diligent. Hm?”

It was a ‘Nightfall’ fragment that Lillian had saved before.

She had even treasured it in a security case as if it were as precious as gold bars.

His imprint target was…

No, the woman he had fallen for was this thorough and perfect.

“That’s why I’m angry.”

Because it means you have no attachment to this relationship.

‘Why are you trying to cut my leash.’

He wanted to willingly wear it and live now.

He was living by killing his instincts as Lillian wanted…

But Lillian was working hard in places he couldn’t see to return his leash.

“There’s no such thing as returning in our lives, Lily.”

You just live holding onto me.

“Instead, I’ll live doing everything you want…”

Swoosh.

He swept the top surface of the case with his palm.

The case itself disappeared like melting snow in an instant.

The same went for what was inside.

‘I should get rid of the Tower of Seclusion itself too.’

He would persistently eliminate every last possibility of Lillian abandoning him.

Then his ears caught the sound of footsteps approaching the workshop.

Evren casually left through the rear entrance of the workshop.

After taking a leisurely stroll around, Lillian was just coming out after entering the workshop.

“Lily.”

“Ren?”

Lillian, standing at the doorway, blinked in surprise.

“Why did you come out already? Your fever hasn’t gone down.”

“No, I’m fine. But why are you here right now?”

Lillian made a troubled expression.

“Well, I came to look at the Nightfall fragment.”

“…Ah.”

“I had forgotten about it for a while, but I’m troubled by this incident.”

“Hmm.”

“But I can’t find it. Where is it?”

“You must have put it somewhere safe.”

He played dumb quite despicably.

“Let’s look for it next time. You have a fever again.”

“Mm. Yeah… Huh?”

“What’s wrong?”

“I can’t see my shoes. Where did I put them?”

Lillian looked around, searching for the shoes she had left outside the door before changing into indoor slippers.

Evren already knew where those shoes were.

And as soon as he saw them, he had casually pushed them with his heel and made them disappear.

“Look for them tomorrow when it’s bright. For now, let me carry you.”

“No, it’s okay even if I’m barefoot. To a sick person-“

“Why would you step on dirt with bare feet.”

Evren almost contorted his face in displeasure.

There are living things in the dirt too.

They could be microorganisms, or insignificant grass.

But even Lillian touching those things was deeply unpleasant.

Since Lillian would be graciously stepping on them, they should be grateful to be trampled to death.

But even that moment of contact made him covetous.

He lifted Lillian in his arms and slowly headed toward the room.

…But not long after, Lillian looked at him with suspicious eyes.

“Ren, aren’t your legs long? But why are you so slow…”

“I don’t have good night vision either, I’m four years older than you.”

“There’s no way an S-rank Ability User would have night blindness.”

“Says the person who seems to have arthritis. At twenty years old.”

“…”

Lillian couldn’t answer that.

Evren looked at Lillian as if he wanted to devour her with his eyes.

I want to stuff this woman into my heart.

I want to be loved.

If only this woman would love me, I wouldn’t need anything else.

‘Actually, if she doesn’t love me, this world itself wouldn’t be necessary…’

But unlike him, Lillian had a weak body, so she couldn’t live on ruined land.

For Lillian’s sake, this Empire had the duty to remain intact.

‘But if things flow like that nightmare again…’

I’ll have to take this world, not just the Empire.

And I’ll have to make this world my garden.

So that wherever Lillian flies, she’ll be by my side.
