112.

Poison doesn’t work on Ability Users of annihilation.

Evren learned this through numerous assassination attempts during his childhood.

He had never used his ability for detoxification on others.

Unless it was to annihilate the entire body…

But Lillian is different.

Smooch. Smooch.

“Lily, keep talking.”

“Ugh…”

“You need to speak so I can be sure the poison is gone.”

The sound of lips touching echoed intermittently in the carriage.

Evren was kneeling across from Lillian, kissing her starting from her right knee.

Lillian’s knee was scraped, perhaps injured when she collapsed at the ‘Sanctuary’.

He intended to ‘annihilate’ the scrape while removing the poison…

When he made ‘contact’ with his hands, Lillian didn’t get better.

It seemed the poison had already penetrated deep into her reason.

Then this was the only remaining method.

Evren raised his head.

“Do you know how shocked I was?”

The focus disappeared from his eyes as he looked at Lillian.

“I looked away for just a moment, and you had gone to the Imperial Palace… And in that time, you were poisoned.”

“…Ren, are you angry at me?”

Lillian made a slightly frightened expression.

That look caused a stabbing pain in his chest like a knife.

Lillian shouldn’t be afraid of him. Even if he received eternal love, it wouldn’t be enough.

‘I won’t love anyone anymore.’

Lillian had declared that before their contract engagement.

So he couldn’t be hated.

Evren lowered his voice as gently as possible.

Even though his heart was actually consumed with rage, murderous intent, and jealousy.

“Why would I be angry at you.”

“Ren uses more formal speech when he’s angry.”

“Why did you stop me from using my ability?”

Evren changed the subject.

When he saw what Lillian endured at the palace and decided to melt away all those Pavil bastards.

Lillian ‘deliberately’ collapsed on the dirt ground at just the right moment.

So that the ability that was penetrating the earth like melting snow would stop…

That’s why he was angry.

He wanted to annihilate those things trying to harm the woman he fell for, but Lillian herself blocked his path.

As expected, doing things according to Lillian’s nature didn’t align well with his instincts.

He didn’t show it, but enduring it was sometimes torture.

Lillian fidgeted in her seat.

“We finally obtained the heresy tracking authority, but what if Ren faces backlash.”

“…”

“Don’t give the Pavil Family unnecessary justification… because of me.”

Evren’s heart grew hot on its own.

He liked receiving this kind of tenderness from Lillian.

Even if that tenderness contained other intentions.

“But Ren, could you send me to the Pavil Family? To marry Prince Kail.”

“…”

“No! No, really no, no!”

Evren pulled Lillian’s hand and kissed her palm hard.

He breathed annihilation along her thin palm lines.

‘Lily. Do you like my younger brother that much?’

‘Yes. I like him so much.’

Every time he recalled that conversation, jealousy dried up all the blood in his body.

He had never heard those words of liking even once, but that filthy viper…

The more he thought about it, the more heated he became, so he deliberately kissed both of Lillian’s palms hard.

Lillian blushed and bit her lips.

Evren looked up sulkily through Lillian’s fingers.

‘I didn’t even hurt her that much.’

He wished she would understand his consideration for kissing her palms instead of her cheeks, worried she might bite.

Lillian pulled her hands away from him and gripped both his shoulders tightly.

“Ren, I, I think I’m really okay now. So now let’s sit together…!”

“So, why did you go to the Imperial Palace?”

“His Majesty said that you had turned back time.”

“…?”

“He said you’re preventing the world from being destroyed because of that—”

“Lily. Did you take medicine besides the poison?”

They gave Lillian medicine?

“Ren, listen carefully. Haven’t you ever had such a conversation with His Majesty?”

“What would I—”

Evren irritably thought of his father and then closed his mouth.

Come to think of it, the day Lillian revealed her grade.

‘Lillian, you haven’t won that child’s heart at all. Exactly the same as last time.’

…That man had said such things?

At the time, he dismissed it as nonsense.

They were originally a father and son with no interest in each other whatsoever.

But he had an ominous feeling.

The Tarandia clan doesn’t have hearts, but they’re not the type to say useless things.

‘If that wasn’t nonsense.’

If there was such a thing as ‘last time’…

So if the nightmare that bastard Caspian showed wasn’t just a simple ‘nightmare’ but something that really happened?

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

‘I hate you so much.’

If that moment when Lillian said those words while crying actually existed—

Evren’s breath grew coldly still.

Even the heat from earlier when he wanted to strangle Kail to death from jealousy and was going crazy from not being able to kill Pavil cooled down.

“Ren.”

Just then, Lillian cupped Evren’s left cheek.

Whenever Lillian touched him, he always felt good.

“I actually have something to tell you, Ren.”

But this time, he was suddenly afraid.

* * *

When they arrived at the castle, Lillian found it a bit difficult to face the villain.

She knew that ‘Ability Users of annihilation’ were immune to poison.

And in a world where ‘contact’ was basic, kissing knees and palms shouldn’t be embarrassing.

…She definitely knew that in her head, but her arm joints creaked the entire way back.

‘To think I have such severe rheumatism at this young age.’

Life is not easy.

Moreover, it seemed like facial flushing had been added to the mix.

The skin around the areas the villain had touched felt tingly, making her feel strange.

Perhaps the Pavil family’s poison had stranger side effects than she had known.

But when the two returned to the garden, Lillian honestly confessed.

“So, I knew this world like reading a book.”

After all, didn’t they say the Tarandia father and son had also talked about regression?

‘Those Revenant bastards also seemed to know something.’

It was truly a world full of people suspected of being regressors.

In such a situation, what’s wrong with talking about book possession and past lives?

“I died in the Imperial Palace then and made my exit.”

“You died…”

“Yeah. After that, Ren waged war against Iris and Kail.”

It felt like she had revealed heavenly secrets.

But no matter how long she waited, the villain said nothing.

“…Ren?”

This person had been blunt or answered slyly before.

But he had never remained silent like this in response to Lillian’s words…

…Don’t tell me!

His nickname is the Imperial Court’s mad dog, but is he afraid of Lillian?

‘Isn’t that a bit unfair?’

But then the villain slowly cupped one of Lillian’s cheeks.

When she recalled where he had kissed her in the carriage, suddenly all her joints ached.

“Are you certain that you died?”

“Huh? Ah… I think so.”

Lillian tried to recall that part again.

“I was crushed by debris while protecting Iris… and after that I was in darkness for a long time.”

“…”

“Yeah, I probably died then.”

“But Lily. Don’t you hate the dark?”

“…Ah.”

Lillian also fell silent.

Even knowing what had happened to her, she hadn’t been greatly troubled until now.

Was that because she thought of it as ‘book content’?

‘Regression and book possession might have different weights.’

But perhaps.

Perhaps thinking that she had really bled out and died alone in the darkness back then.

It was somewhat sad, truly unfair, and belatedly frightening for no reason…

But when the villain embraced Lillian, the negative emotions that were about to surge up stopped.

Phytoncides really are effective for calming down.

Lillian silently rolled her eyes.

‘No matter how I think about it, the only reason I can think of for the villain to turn back time is the Imperial Throne.’

It would have been good if His Majesty the Emperor had designated a successor, but…

How should she put this…

It felt like grabbing the pants leg of someone busy preventing Earth’s destruction due to environmental damage and asking what environmental stocks to invest in next.

Lillian secretly looked up at the villain.

‘I should help this person become a flawless emperor.’

The war between princes too.

Without a single thing that could be used against him.

Then he wouldn’t think of turning back time either.

But…

‘Is it just my imagination?’

Why does the villain’s complexion seem poor?
