121.

Evren from the timeline that would later face destruction stared intently at Lillian.

What was the problem?

There were no battles now, but they were still strictly at war.

“This place is for you and me to share.”

“Why…?”

“Because it’s efficient.”

“Ah… Yes…”

Lillian Tillard often suffered from pain due to the aftereffects of her injuries.

Since the Imperial Palace collapsed, she had nearly stopped breathing in the middle of the night more than once or twice.

And he hated having other bastards tend to Lillian’s sickness.

If he was the one who had hurt this woman, then all the consequences that followed were also his.

So it was natural to be in the same space for efficient care during her illness.

‘You who make everyone hate me, I hate you so much…’

…Even if she said such things and ran away into the snowy field.

‘She’ll say she hates me again.’

Every time Lillian said she hated him, Evren suffered from pain in his heart.

Sometimes he would even cough up blood.

Still, it was better for her to be angry than to be dejected.

But…

Lillian Tillard was approaching him with those beautiful eyes wide open.

Without reserve.

Had she called him ‘Ren’ earlier?

His heart beat uncontrollably.

“Your Highness, I have something to tell you.”

“Go back to bed and sleep.”

Evren turned his head away, unable to even meet her gaze.

If she looked at him so dazzlingly and then later said she disliked him or hated him, his insides would probably burn quite badly.

But at that moment, Lillian grabbed his hand first.

“Your Highness, just a moment!”

This was the first time since he had saved the woman.

All the blood in his body instantly boiled hot.

Originally, every time he looked at Lillian, his whole body would heat up for unknown reasons, so there was nothing surprising about it.

However, he frowned.

“…?”

A sweet yet thick… dangerous stimulation stirred through his body that had reached its limit.

With each breath, pleasure that swept through his mind made his vision flicker with white light.

Life was gradually returning to his body that had been ruined since going berserk.

‘This is impossible.’

Lillian should be powerless, shouldn’t she?

But when he came to his senses, this entire barracks was soaked in an addictive lily fragrance.

“There’s a spy here right now!”

And Lillian forcefully pulled on his collar.

The imprint that had only caused pain until now finally opened its eyes.

* * *

Rear of the 1st Prince’s camp.

The town square in front of the command barracks was stirring.

“Why did His Highness call for us?”

“I wonder…”

“That woman didn’t say something strange, did she?”

The stirring immediately turned into grumbling mixed with dissatisfaction.

“His Highness can’t even abandon that woman.”

“He even went to bring her back when she ran away.”

“She’s really a villainess. Despite being a waste-level person.”

Belliel from this timeline joined the group and chuckled.

Ah, how difficult it had been to enter as a priest of the 1st Prince’s side…

Moreover, the 1st Prince’s closest associates had unexpectedly rigid aspects.

‘They all dislike that woman, yet they don’t want to join in the gossip.’

However, Ramio Tillard had cut Elias Baltazar’s wrist.

Belliel didn’t miss that timing and whispered to those around him.

‘How could such a thing happen? There’s a skill gap between the two!’

‘Someone must have used trickery? For the Second Prince’s faction!’

‘Perhaps that was… Ah, how frightening! This is just speculation, so please forget it.’

Eventually, Lillian, unable to withstand everyone’s pressure, was made to flee to the snow-covered field.

The 1st Prince quickly noticed and brought her back, so Lord Caspian couldn’t lay a hand on her…

‘Just a little more and it will be done.’

Soon, the 1st Prince slowly appeared in the town square.

And everyone flinched when they saw the pink-haired woman held in his arms.

They all busily exchanged glances.

‘What is this about?’

‘That woman knew shame after all?’

The two of them never appeared together in front of others.

No, Lillian Tillard had vehemently refused to let the 1st Prince support her in front of others.

But now Lillian was quite confidently…

“Your Highness, carrying me like that is a bit uncomfortable…”

“…”

“Um, usual- no, if you could support my back with your left hand.”

“…Like this?”

“Yes, thank you.”

She was using the 1st Prince quite well, like a carriage.

The 1st Prince was less obvious about it, but judging by his facial muscles, he seemed just as bewildered by this situation as anyone else.

What on earth was this about?

Lillian carefully came down to the ground with the 1st Prince’s help.

“Priest Belliel. Could you come out here?”

“Yes?”

“I was very sick, you know. I wanted to thank you in front of everyone for taking care of me.”

Lillian smiled brightly.

Even those who had been disparaging her as a parasite clinging to the 1st Prince opened their mouths for a moment.

Had that woman been so… captivating to the eye?

Belliel also approached as if enchanted without realizing it.

And.

‘Huh?’

Brilliant pink butterflies flashed past before his eyes.

When Belliel came to his senses, control butterflies were wildly stirring the abilities inside his body.

Screams erupted from around him.

“That is-?”

“Control power!?”

“Did that come from Lady Tillard?”

But Lillian Tillard was powerless?

What followed next was a scream of shock.

“Priest Belliel!?”

“What is that!”

Because demonization was starting from Belliel’s right arm…!

‘What, what is this?’

Belliel’s eyes flickered frantically.

Lillian Tillard had always been crushed under pressure.

She was an idiot who could only cry and get emotionally angry every day-.

But Lillian was calmly looking down at Belliel.

“Belliel, so you appear in this dream too?”

“Huk, cough…!?”

“Anyway, could you call your master?”

* * *

Lillian was certain.

This seemed to be a lucid dream created by Caspian using black magic.

‘Not even knowing that bastard is deceiving you. Poor priestess. So I’ll show you.’

Yeah, whatever you show me, I won’t believe it.

If she believed the words of the one who killed her parents at face value, Lillian would have to become a fool, a synonym for stupidity.

‘This must be a reality-like illusion. Fiction based on a past life.’

Lillian decided to force herself to believe that.

If it wasn’t something like that, then the villain’s cold gaze or sharp attitude…

His wariness toward Lillian…

Seemed like it would hurt a little more than she thought.

Maybe quite a lot more?

‘But why does it hurt so much…’

No, no. It’s scary, so let’s not think deeply. I should return to Caspian’s story again.

‘Black magic reflects the caster’s soul.’

So in this false world, there would also be ‘Caspian Levernent.’

She had to use that bastard as a catalyst to dispel this lucid dream.

‘But moving around in this dream is quite inconvenient.’

Directly finding Caspian and charging at him would probably be difficult.

Then there was only one method.

It was to use how the heretics often popped up as spies or guerrillas during the ‘War of the Princes.’

‘Since it’s a dream anyway, let’s try whatever comes to mind.’

And judging by the atmosphere, this seemed to be a place where she was treated as incompetent.

You could tell just by looking at people’s eyes.

‘But there’s no need to maintain that tone just to match the atmosphere, right?’

Controller abilities work even in dreams. There’s no need to hide them.

So she could draw out Caspian through Belliel…

As soon as she captured and confined Belliel, the villain seemed to have decided to pressure Lillian first.

He brought Lillian back to the barracks.

And…

“You. Just who are you.”

The crutch was rolling on the floor.

Lillian lay on the bed, looking up at the man whose face was twisted with anger.

She was trapped between his arms so she couldn’t escape. Veins bulged on the back of his hands gripping the blanket Lillian was lying on.

This was the first time she’d seen this man unable to contain his anger like this.

“How dare you imitate Lillian Tillard? How much do you look down on me…!”

“But I am her…?”

How do I prove my identity in my own dream? Isn’t this too unreasonable a situation?

“Don’t be ridiculous.”

The villain in the dream sneered while gritting his teeth. Lillian felt a little scared of that expression, but also had a strange thought.

It was clearly a face filled with evil, but somehow…

“If that woman had been a Controller, she wouldn’t have received such treatment. She wouldn’t have remained in the palace either.”

“…”

“Then this leg too, I…”

The villain stopped speaking and clenched his teeth. As if even speaking was painful.

Lillian silently took in only his face with her eyes.

The man seemed stained with wounds.
