125.

The flower petal pattern Lillian saw disappeared shortly after.

‘What was that? Did I see it wrong because of the sunlight?’

While Lillian was examining the mirror by changing its angle this way and that.

– Lily.

“…!”

Lillian moved both hands as if swimming in the air and dropped the mirror to the floor.

Did she just hear something that wasn’t there?

Even if it was a hallucination, it was still welcome-.

“Ren? Is that really you, Ren?”

– Finally, we’re connected.

A voice continued after a quiet sigh.

After that bastard Caspian had sent Lillian back to the old days.

Villain and his party were attacking Revenant’s Palace while searching for Lillian.

‘Time over there moves slower than here.’

But it was only about two days.

If she trusted that and relaxed, only for the time difference to suddenly increase drastically, it would be a disaster.

Still, to think they found a gap in the dark magic and could communicate by voice.

What incredibly good luck.

-Can you wait just a little? I’ll catch that rat bastard and come get you.

“Alright. I’ll try to catch him from here too.”

Of course, increasing the chances is important.

-But my fiancée.

“Yeah?”

– You’re with me from the past life. That bastard isn’t doing anything strange, is he?

“Strange, you mean…?”

– Strange words or… things he shouldn’t do to you.

Strange things. Strange.

What’s the dictionary definition of ‘strange’?

How far does it apply?

‘We almost kis….’

Lillian hastily covered her mouth.

The back of her neck became so hot that she felt dizzy for a moment.

– That wasn’t a question that should take long to answer.

“No, he didn’t do anything. Right now that person went out for a meeting-.”

– …That person.

A cold silence flowed.

Lillian was puzzled, not knowing what was wrong with that word.

– Lily.

“Yeah?”

– Why are you talking about that bastard like you’re married?

“…Ren, it’s you.”

And married, really.

Even though they’re sharing the same barracks, that’s not it!

– If it’s not the current me, then he’s someone else. He’d think the same way if he saw me.

But Villain was very firm.

She couldn’t think of any firmness to beat his.

– Whatever that bastard does, he’s not me. We’ve had different experiences, so how can you say we’re the same person.

“….”

– Lily, this is where you belong. Don’t forget that.

* * *

The labyrinth within Revenant’s Palace.

“…By the way, you’re not hurt, right? Are you eating well?”

To other people, it was too affectionate and everyday conversation.

It was unbelievable that this was a conversation while constantly annihilating monsters and heretics with one hand.

“Huh? You’re eating military food?”

Crack!

What Evren was holding was smashed beyond recognition.

“Who made you feel miserable while eating?”

The veins on the back of his hand bulged threateningly.

“Did you give them a beating? As expected, yeah… I understand. Don’t worry about me.”

Evren whispered affectionately with reddened eyes.

“Yeah, Lily. Wait just a little longer.”

And Noah, who was watching all of this, got goosebumps.

There wasn’t just one or two things to get goosebumps about.

First, making that kind of voice, and using dark magic tracking in reverse like a communication artifact was monstrous-.

‘A proper human couldn’t be this nonchalant when killing people.’

And….

Noah looked down at his feet.

Hundreds, thousands of….

‘Sacrifices’.

Crack.

Noah ground his teeth in anger, and the Holy Knights with him also looked pale.

‘Caspian. Is this the work of that heretic leader?’

But Crown Prince Evren had no interest in this scene at all.

He didn’t show even the slightest nausea, anger, or compassion that a human would show.

From the moment Lillian disappeared, his true nature was revealed.

The Crown Prince was a monster.

* * *

Kail and Iris’s forces were secretly coming down from the north.

It was just as Lillian had found out by interrogating Belliel. It was clear that defeating them would greatly change the tide of war.

Lillian was supposed to wait in the rear.

‘Even though I’ve awakened my control ability, it’s still too much with these legs.’

Lillian watched Villain put on his black armor.

‘Lily, this is where you belong.’

Those words were right.

Lillian knew her priorities well too.

The longer she stayed here, the more those priorities would waver, so she shouldn’t grow more attached.

But that man was also imprinted on her.

‘I did write a letter explaining the situation.’

Still, she should explain it in person.

“Your Highness. I have something to say.”

“Come to think of it, I have something to say too.”

“Huh? What is it?”

He knelt on one knee on the floor and leaned his face against Lillian’s chest.

He was completely exposing his imprint like someone putting their neck on a guillotine.

“Wait. Your Highness, it’s dangerous to expose this-.”

“Lillian.”

“Yes?”

“When this is all over, marry me.”

“…?”

We’ve only known each other for a week now.

At least that’s how it feels?

He’s direct when hurting someone, and direct when digging in too.

He lifted his head and smiled with squinted eyes.

“You told me to speak nicely. If you show me, I’ll learn.”

With one hand slowly rubbing Lillian’s right knee.

“I might ask you to explain it again so I can understand. I don’t understand human emotions very well.”

“….”

“I’ll do that, so marry me.”

Lillian was speechless.

If her current self returned to Ren’s side, what would happen to this remaining body?

‘Since I existed before, it won’t completely disappear.’

She might even remember everything that happened now.

But she couldn’t guarantee anything.

Nothing at all.

“Win first, then we’ll see.”

Lillian awkwardly touched his cheek.

“I don’t like losers.”

“You disliked that too.”

“Yeah…. So win first, and let’s talk after everything’s over.”

Since there would be an important battle soon, there was no need to discuss troubling matters now.

‘There should still be time.’

That’s what Lillian thought.

* * *

The marauder Tarandia had left to face the Second Prince and Iris Tillard.

Caspian received the report and decided to move.

‘Hmm. Tarandia wasn’t fooled.’

Originally, he should have been more focused on the east and caught off guard by the Second Prince coming down from the north.

‘But the priestess should still be defenseless.’

The marauder had brought the priestess but wasn’t properly protecting her.

As Belliel reported, the rear where he and his subordinates had infiltrated wasn’t heavily guarded.

‘Well, it wouldn’t matter even if it were heavily guarded.’

Caspian sneered at the guards trying to stop him.

“Open the door.”

“…! Yes!”

Caspian entered the barracks that was quiet as a mouse.

Lillian stood there leaning on crutches. She turned to look at him as if she wasn’t afraid of what was to come at all.

Her indifferent expression was like-.

“I was waiting for you.”

Caspian frowned.

“…You knew about me?”

“Of course. Your ridiculous brainwashing ability? I know all about that too.”

Caspian’s face twisted even more at Lillian’s mockery.

He had definitely sealed the priestess’s abilities early on, hadn’t he?

“How does it feel to fall for your own scheme?”

“What-.”

“You sent me to this time period on purpose to make me hate the Crown Prince.”

Lillian glared at him coldly and chuckled.

“You know what? I’m a little grateful to you.”

As soon as those words ended, deafening cheers could be heard from outside the barracks.

“Thanks to you, it seems like our relationship got better?”

“Ha!”

Caspian smiled menacingly with one eyebrow furrowed.

It was a trap.
