114.

Caspian’s attendant sighed.

The terrifying Tillard family.

They say she’s a butterfly that enchants ability users, and now she’s even enchanted the leader of the Revenants.

But then Caspian’s communication stone rang.

It was contact from the Empire.

– Lord Caspian. My apologies for the delayed report.

“Belliel. Did you attach yourself well to Iris?”

– Yes. When I mimicked an Oracle like Markus, she fell for it immediately.

“Haha.”

When Iris was despairing in the declining ‘Iris Floren’.

‘Why do you want to meet Lord Caspian? The ‘original’ Saint.’

‘You…! Be, Belliel? Is it really Belliel?’

At first, Iris was also shocked by Belliel’s appearance.

The voice was right, but he had changed to look like a shadow wearing a black veil.

It was because he had switched to a monster’s body to avoid surveillance from the ‘Bride’ and Evren Tarandia.

‘You, weren’t you dead?’

Perhaps because she had been deceived several times, Iris was very wary.

Belliel explained sadly.

‘We are actually, ahem, Oracles. But because of Lillian, we were interfered with and ended up like this.’

‘Such…!’

‘Won’t you help us just once? Then we’ll help you return to your original place.’

‘My original place-.’

‘The great Saint of the Empire is you, Iris.’

Lillian has changed too much and is difficult to deal with, but this one is really consistent.

– It seems the Tillard family is now trying to get the ‘Bride’ to come to the manor.

Using Ramio as an excuse.

Caspian smiled silently.

The Tillard family was also quite consistent in their own way.

“Then we’ll tie up the Bride there first. We need to create a ‘rift’ in the Empire.”

A ‘rift’.

It was a hole through which monsters flowed out.

‘It’s a troublesome method because it requires too many sacrifices-.’

Since he could no longer use ‘brainwashing’ because of Lillian, this was now the only way.

‘Rather, it’s unfortunate for the Empire.’

Because he could no longer rule them with gentle methods.

“Make sure to ask Iris properly.”

– Yes, Lord Caspian.

* * *

After the scheme to lure Lillian away failed.

“Kail, how can you do this to your mother!”

The Empress’s Palace was deadly with the argument between mother and son.

“It was you, Mother, who did something useless. To think of using such a crude trick.”

Kail was about to leave the Empress’s Palace when he stopped and burst into laughter filled with anger and irritation.

“Kidnap Lillian to break off the engagement? Ha…!”

“I admit that this mother was too hasty.”

Empress Robellia held her forehead.

It was shameful, but this was her mistake.

She had lived a life where no one blocked her path until now.

So her vision had narrowed.

‘Because the vigilance around Lillian is getting stronger day by day.’

That Evren bastard and the Baltazar family.

And if you count outside the Imperial Palace, even the Temple had joined forces.

In her urgency, she had made a self-defeating move.

But there was also a huge mistake in Kail’s handling of it.

“Not being able to save blood relatives when they’re being dragged away is unavoidable. But you should at least pretend to save one person…!”

Kail had acted as if he had completely abandoned his maternal relatives.

Let’s say it couldn’t be helped right now.

This might strangle him later!

But Kail turned around coldly.

“That’s something the fools who agreed with Mother will have to handle themselves.”

“Kail!”

“Make sure Mother doesn’t need to leave the palace.”

Kail turned his back on his mother and spoke coldly to those around him.

‘Mother needs to step back now.’

The same went for his unhelpful maternal relatives.

To begin with, the Count who was the Empress’s brother wasn’t very useful due to his dissolute life.

After Karkin died, they had to raise a bastard as the next Count, so the family was held back.

…Now that he thought about it, even that was because of Lillian and Evren.

‘I’m falling behind in everything from one to ten.’

When he met the woman waiting for him at the Crown Prince’s Palace, his jaw tensed.

“Welcome, Prince Kail.”

“…”

His ‘destined partner’.

Iris Tillard.

He would have to marry this woman.

Evren had Lillian.

That difference was maddeningly terrible.

“When I last saw you at the Temple, you looked like a complete madwoman. I see you’ve come to your senses now.”

“I’m truly ashamed of what happened then, Your Highness.”

Iris’s platinum eyelashes trembled finely.

“I reflected deeply during my confinement.”

“…?”

“Because of my rash actions, I caused such great disappointment to Our Highness and Empress.”

“…?”

Kail hesitated.

…She’s more intact than I worried. Why?

“Now people are saying that you and I should naturally be united.”

“Unfortunately, yes.”

“But Your Highness. If you marry me, you can officially have a mistress, can’t you?”

“…Tarandia doesn’t keep such things.”

Kail gritted his teeth.

The Tarandia were a heartless clan, but they had never once kept a mistress.

Even his bizarre father had been the same.

“But if you marry me and want to defeat Prince Evren, you’ll have to do something about Sister Lillian.”

“…”

“And honestly, don’t you want Sister too, Your Highness?”

“Iris-.”

“But I wouldn’t mind if Your Highness took Sister Lillian as your mistress.”

“…Do you even know what you’re saying right now?”

“Yes!”

Iris smiled brightly.

“Considering all the trouble I’ve caused Your Highness so far, I think I should make that much of a concession.”

“….”

“Besides, wouldn’t it be better if our family could stay together harmoniously in the palace?”

Kail came to a conclusion.

This woman was not normal.

She seemed to be pretending to be stupid while planning to stab people in the back.

“So I have a good idea, Your Highness.”

“…Let me hear it, Iris Tillard.”

Well, he had nothing to lose anyway.

“What your idea is.”

Iris smiled slyly.

‘Following Belliel’s advice actually works?’

I must get revenge on everyone who looked down on me.

‘I won’t leave Lillian alone either.’

And I’ll steal the Crown Prince right in front of Lillian and make him mine!

* * *

“Ren….”

“Why are you calling me?”

Evren smiled warmly as he looked at Lillian.

Lillian was sighing while holding her forehead, but even that was so adorable it made him want to destroy something.

“Are you planning to bury my room in flower petals right now?”

“Isn’t it fragrant and nice?”

“Well, that’s true, but!”

The ‘Chamber of Pearls’ where Lillian was staying was now decorated with bouquets everywhere.

Through two lifetimes, he had definitely learned that Lillian liked flowers.

Not just flowers, but he was putting all the good things he could think of into this room.

Lillian finally managed to sit on the sofa only after hugging three bouquets.

“Ren, aren’t you busy with the expedition? You don’t have to do this—.”

“Even if it was because of hallucinogenic poison, you said you liked my younger brother, didn’t you? My fiancée.”

“Please, really forget about that….”

“No matter how I think about it, you fell for that poison because I didn’t express my affection enough.”

Evren smiled while suppressing his rising desire.

I just want to marry you right now.

I just want it to be only the two of us.

But once Lillian remembered the rest, she would find him horrifying.

To him, that was far more important than the world’s destruction.

‘So for now….’

Leave Lillian in the dark and eliminate the things that threaten her life first.

From this world forever.

‘Then I’ll calmly tell Lily afterward.’

That he loves her this much.

That he did his best to clean everything up.

‘Tsk. If only I had more time, I’d spend 100 years courting her while explaining.’

Since time was short, he had to compete with quality.

But unfortunately, Lillian had an unexpected visitor.

“L, Lady Lillian.”

It was Ramio Tillard.

Seeing the Tillard come to the drawing room with several knights, looking at her pitifully.

I don’t like those eyes.

‘Marriage between cousins is impossible in the Empire, but.’

Should I eliminate him anyway?

“Ah, Iris is plotting something strange.”

For now, I should see if he’s useful to Lillian before deciding on a method.
