124.
The first place Evren’s lips touched was Lillian’s brow. He had always thought her white, round forehead was pretty.
Next, on Lillian’s tightly closed eyelids.
As he slid down toward her lips…
His heart pounded painfully enough to make his chest ache.
Because Lillian didn’t push him away, only gripping his arms tightly.
“…If you do this, I’ll think whatever I want, Lillian Tillard.”
He whispered at a distance where his lips almost touched her ear.
Even so, when Lillian only lowered her head without avoiding him, he suddenly felt thirsty.
He had never realized it all along.
That he himself had been suffering from thirst.
From the moment he saw Lillian smiling in the Tower of Seclusion, it felt like he had fallen into a pit of fire and all the moisture in his body had dried up.
Now he felt like he was finally being filled.
He imagined Lillian, who had barely given him space beside her, disappearing.
“Don’t leave after doing this.”
“…”
“And tell me the name of the bastard who kissed your cheek.”
“That, Your Highness, if I said it was you, would you believe me…”
“You don’t need to lie like that. I won’t get annoyed with you anymore.”
“Kyaah!”
Evren really bit Lillian’s earlobe like a dog.
Damn, he must have been quite fond of that guy. Seeing how she’s protecting him like this?
Since he didn’t want to make Lillian cry anymore, he’d have to find him later and deal with him when she wasn’t looking.
When Lillian kept not knowing where to put her hands, he guided her hands to embrace him.
They were both so hot that it was impossible to maintain their sanity.
“You said if I spoke prettily, you wouldn’t hate me.”
“Mmm…”
“Then would it sound pretty if I used formal speech?”
Evren practiced in his head for a moment, then curved the corners of his eyes.
If this woman liked pretty things like he did.
“How is this, Lillian?”
“…!”
“Does this make you feel ready to handle me?”
Lillian panted with a face flushed red.
Evren waited for an answer with a heart burning with anxiety for the first time in his life.
“Your Highness, you’re a bit much to handle.”
“…”
“Honestly, the difficulty level is too high, so I really can’t handle…”
“Try harder.”
“Wait, then why did you ask-“
The moment Lillian widened her eyes to protest, he kissed the corner of her mouth.
The conversation was cut short.
And with a gap of less than half a finger joint, their lips almost brushed.
The moment both their breaths stopped short from that tickling heat.
– Your Highness. We’re ready to interrogate Priest Belliel.
The attendant’s call came from beyond the tent door of the barracks.
– …Your Highness?
A second confirmation came.
Only then did Lillian come to her senses and push him away with her whole body.
“Let’s stop and go over there.”
“…”
“Hurry up!”
* * *
This villain has gone crazy.
Lillian had to be carried by Villain to move, but she tried hard to avoid his gaze.
‘This won’t do. I need to go back quickly.’
Her heart sank when this man spoke formally like ‘Ren’ did when they first met.
No matter if it was the same face.
‘Don’t leave.’
Even if she was overwhelmed by emotions mixed with unbearable longing, sadness, and attraction!
Everything Lillian had built was on ‘Ren’s’ side.
In that castle with the garden and workshop for the two of them.
In that world where the Shadows including Marguerite and Sir Jeanne, and Duke Baltazar existed.
Soon they arrived at the barracks where the prisoner was tied up separately.
Lillian flinched when she saw Elias.
“We left his tongue, but be careful. He’s skilled at bewitching others.”
One wrist was missing.
Warning bells rang louder and louder in Lillian’s head.
‘This isn’t a dream.’
She could no longer play ostrich.
The emotions of despair she felt because of what her family had done were so vivid.
‘Then-‘
Just then, in the middle of the prisoner barracks they entered.
Belliel was thrown like luggage with all four limbs bound.
But the moment Villain put Lillian down and handed her the crutches.
“Forgive my boldness, Your Highness!”
It was the scout named Gregor Ruden.
“No matter how much Lady Tillard has manifested, giving her interrogation authority? This is dangerous!”
Lillian also thought such wariness was justified.
If only it hadn’t been this person saying it.
‘Ha. What a truly noble parasite. Are you just consuming food while being of no help to His Highness the Prince?’
Saying that he and the scout unit were risking their lives.
Hearing those words, no matter how hungry she was, she couldn’t bring herself to eat.
Because of her miserable pride, she hadn’t told Villain about such petty harassment.
But now Lillian looked straight at that person.
“Oh my, long time no see? The parasite has come to pay for the food it’s consumed.”
“…!”
“I’ll pay you back quickly, so move aside.”
Lillian ignored the flustered opponent and stepped forward, supporting her ankle.
“Ha… Priestess.”
Belliel looked up at Lillian mockingly.
“What, how exactly did you awaken?”
“Enough. Just confess where your master is.”
“My word. You even know about Master?”
Belliel giggled.
But the moment Lillian touched his forehead, Belliel could no longer laugh and writhed in pain.
Since she stirred inside his head with control power, it would probably hurt quite a bit.
“Ugh…!”
“There’s a prohibition spell on you, isn’t there, Belliel?”
A golden sigil appeared in the center of Belliel’s forehead.
It was a trace of processing that prevented him from saying anything that could threaten Caspian’s safety.
Black magic prohibitions cannot be severed with control power.
Then?
“Then tell me what Iris and Kail are plotting.”
“…!”
“It’s your specialty, isn’t it. Barging into battlefields and turning them into chaos.”
Belliel ground his teeth.
Bingo.
Prohibitions can only be placed one at a time.
So information not directly related to ‘Caspian’s safety’ has no choice but to be confessed!
“Kuk, Kail… the Prince and… Iris Tillard, in three days…. From the rear….”
“…!”
“Te, Tenebrin’s, Count Joseph Bespin in collusion. They secured reinforcements from the north.”
That bastard who expelled Princess Meliora was mentioned at this point. Then this is-.
‘Is this that final battle where the Villain fails to ascend to the Imperial Throne?’
Then bewildered whispers passed behind her back.
“Didn’t the 2nd Prince say he would strike from the east?”
“What if that was a decoy?”
“The information the scout unit brought-.”
“Ahem.”
The flustered people hastily shut their mouths.
Scout Gregory, who had tried to stop Lillian earlier, was trembling with a red face.
‘Since he’s a scout, he’s in charge of information gathering.’
After I leave, he’ll get quite the beating.
While Lillian turned her head, a conversation had already passed between the Villain and Sir Elias.
“Confirm what that priest said. Send troops to the north rear.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
“Lillian, you should return to the barracks.”
At that moment, all of the Villain’s subordinates stopped as if by magic.
Lillian…. decided to pretend not to notice.
* * *
Is it okay for me to arbitrarily change my ‘past life’?
‘Since I’ve been using control power freely, it’s too late to worry about it now!’
But there was a real big problem elsewhere.
‘The Villain destroyed the world trying to turn back time, right?’
It must have been because he lost the war for the Imperial Throne.
When she heard the circumstances from the Emperor, Lillian had vaguely thought so.
‘The world is destroyed because of that distortion. It might even invade this side.’
The ‘distortion’ created by turning back time.
Its aftermath didn’t only affect the ‘past life’.
‘Then let me organize this for now…!’
Lillian tried scribbling with her finger on the dirt floor of the barracks.
1. I was blown here because of Caspian’s black magic.
→ I still have to catch this bastard. The key to returning is with him.
2. Even if I prevent destruction here and leave, will it affect my current life?
→ The possibility of all already born timelines disappearing is low.
Life is under the Creator God’s jurisdiction.
So for now, let’s try to prevent this Villain faction from being destroyed.
After organizing once, her mind became calm.
The power of writing was truly amazing.
Lillian erased all of the above and scribbled one line.
I need to go back.
I’m worried about the people left at the Revenant’s Palace.
‘Eunjeok…. Will he be okay?’
‘Ren’ also seemed to be in a precarious physical state recently.
While Lillian was worrying, she rubbed her neck which was getting hot again.
Like awakening fever, it felt different from ordinary heat-.
‘It was rising from my neck?’
Lillian looked at herself in a small hand mirror.
“What is this…?”
A petal-like pattern was faintly glowing where her neck and shoulder met.
