133.

Evren smiled bitterly at the world where his Lillian existed.

‘I, you, turning back time… it’s just going to a different place.’

He heard the voice of the woman who had been dying in his arms.

Finally, their hearts had connected.

At that moment when he believed everything would work out well if things went just a little better…

His love had died.

‘It’s not leaving forever.’

“…You were right, Lillian.”

Evren smiled as he caressed the mark on his neck.

Lillian’s body had died, but her soul was still alive.

Following that soul, wandering and wandering again, he had finally reached this place.

But.

‘The mark’s reaction is slow…’

Lillian wasn’t at Tillard Manor.

She seemed to be with himself from this timeline.

With that bastard who hadn’t experienced any sacrifice, despair, or pain.

‘…How nice for him.’

He had lost Lillian right before his eyes.

Yet that bastard was perfectly fine with Lillian in this world…

“…”

All the trees around where Evren stood collapsed.

The ground and vegetation all disappeared as if buried under white snow.

The Revenant bastards had called him a ‘plunderer’-.

“Haha.”

Once again, he would steal away the woman who was his heart.

* * *

Revenant’s Palace.

Even after Iris was subdued by the Holy Knights, the group remained in this area.

Kail’s eyes gleamed fiercely.

‘I can’t fall any further behind than this.’

Getting rid of Iris?

It was humiliating for him too, but honestly, it was a relief.

No matter how much of a ‘destined partner’ she was, she couldn’t free a prisoner from jail.

‘But I can’t return empty-handed after coming this far.’

The best spoils were already being taken by Evren…!

“Their laboratories and research logs. The heretics’ land documents-.”

Stop taking everything.

“The ancient control artifacts they secured, ten colored gemstone mines-.”

Stop taking everything, you crazy bastard. This wasn’t the Crown Prince but a loan shark.

Kail, who had been seething, maintained his composure and pointed to a box found in the palace’s storage.

“Then we’ll take this one.”

Kail had found a precious item mixed among the treasures.

‘I didn’t expect there to be an Amplification Ruby!’

It was a gem that had the effect of temporarily amplifying abilities.

Being from a family that dealt with deadly poisons, he naturally knew all sorts of pharmaceutical knowledge.

Lillian seemed hesitant.

“Hmm…”

“According to Temple law, shouldn’t the contributions of those who helped in the subjugation be recognized?”

“…Yes, that’s correct.”

When Lillian looked suspicious, Kail smiled triumphantly.

‘Lillian doesn’t know the power of this treasure.’

If he couldn’t have this woman, he should at least beat her.

But Lillian turned her gaze to Kail’s subordinates.

“I’ll distribute all the Revenants’ gold coins to everyone, so please collect them later.”

The knights tried to compose their expressions.

The heretics’ gold coins even to us!?

“We are honored.”

“Not at all. You all worked hard earlier.”

“…!”

“You had to act well to deceive them. Thank you for playing along.”

She was referring to how the Crown Prince and Second Prince’s knights had ‘pretended to fight’ for Lillian to be convincingly captured.

As soon as Lillian finished her greetings, Evren grasped her hand.

“There’s no need for you to give pleasantries to these guys.”

“Oh my, Your Highness. I should properly acknowledge their efforts. These people suffered so much because of Iris.”

“Is that your fault? You don’t look well either.”

“Oh my, how embarrassing.”

Was this a heretic stronghold?

Or a place for romance…

The Second Prince’s retainers sent envious glances while looking disgusted.

After the meeting ended.

Everyone smiled bitterly about this matter.

“…Even considering she’s a Saintess, she’s quite generous.”

She didn’t need to give them anything at all.

Though there was ‘Temple law,’ the authority to track heretics actually belonged to the Crown Prince.

It would have been humiliating if Kail did nothing when distributing the spoils.

However, doing something didn’t improve the situation either.

“Right.”

“Gold coins!”

“The Crown Prince’s side-.”

It must be nice to have the Saintess as a partner.

Everyone almost said such words before becoming depressed.

“…What are we then.”

A young knight grumbled.

“Last time too, Prince Kail didn’t even try to save the clan members-.”

Katarina, the Second Empress’s maid. And the branch family members.

All those who tried to use hallucinogenic poison on Lillian received severe punishment. Even if it was unavoidable…

‘If it were the Crown Prince’s side, wouldn’t he have saved at least one person?’

They couldn’t help but think such thoughts.

Trying versus doing nothing at all.

Wasn’t there a huge difference between the two?

“…Actually, the side not chosen by Saintess Lillian is really-.”

“Quiet!”

A senior knight shouted angrily.

Everyone fell silent.

The atmosphere sank gloomily.

* * *

‘How dare you try to cheat in front of me?’

And in the field of gems and artifacts at that!

“Lily, you were right.”

“Hehe.”

“Of all the things he could have chosen, Kail picked that one.”

“Hehehe.”

Both of Lillian’s eyes and mouth curved into crescent shapes.

Lillian rummaged around in her sleeve…

She pulled out the real ‘Amplification Ruby’.

‘Did he think I wouldn’t recognize this?’

Too bad for him, but the good stuff is ours!

What Kail took was the spinel I had placed more conspicuously long ago!

“Won’t my brother notice?”

“He won’t. Spinel and ruby are very difficult to distinguish.”

So even when he returns to the homeland, Kail won’t know he took the wrong one.

‘Enjoy the placebo effect, Original Male Lead.’

He seems to think everything will be fine as long as Iris is gone, but honestly, he’s largely at fault too.

Lillian glanced over her shoulder.

When Kail’s subordinates met her eyes, they hurriedly clasped their hands behind their backs and bowed silently.

Lillian was a Saintess but held the ambiguous position of being the ‘Crown Prince’s fiancée’.

They were showing maximum courtesy considering that fact.

‘There’s no need to earn their resentment in this situation.’

They were people who would need to be absorbed later anyway once the Villain became Emperor.

But…

‘Barracks again.’

Since they had to camp in this area, barracks had been set up.

Her face suddenly grew hot as memories of the past came flooding back.

‘At my age, eating and sleeping in the same place as a man.’

Back then, she was suffering from fever and had little time to feel nervous about being in the same room.

Still.

Even at night, whenever Lillian groaned from leg pain and fever.

‘Why does this fever last so long.’

He would immediately get up from behind the screen and approach with wet towels and medicine.

When his hand touched her cheek, it felt cool, but her stomach burned hot.

“Ren, this one is just for me, right?”

“That’s right.”

Thank goodness…!

If that happened again this time, it would definitely cause internal burning.

“Then you should go in and rest too, Ren.”

“Lily.”

But he interlaced his fingers with Lillian’s and wouldn’t let go.

Her mouth kept getting dry.

“We still have things to talk about.”

Lillian tried to look up at the Villain but naturally lowered her head.

This was strange. Really strange.

Until now, she had been fine thinking of him as silver and like a warm iced drink.

She could no longer think of him that way.

“Where did you live with me from your past life?”

“Huh?”

Hm?

“Saying ‘that person’ and such. Hmm, if someone heard it, it sounded like you were that guy’s wife…”

“…”

“Haha. I’m sure that wasn’t what you meant.”

He smiled affectionately.

And when Lillian’s answer was a beat late, he smiled even more affectionately and prettily.

“Then now, will you tell me everything that happened with that bastard? Hon. Est. Ly.”

Lillian swallowed dry saliva.

All the data she had accumulated about Eunjeok told her.

This was clearly a question where the Tillard Family’s shamelessness wouldn’t work.

‘No, we went through all that hardship and everything ended well!’

Why did this crisis suddenly strike?

* * *

Ren was certain.

His past life self had been trash.

“Aha, so you lived in the same barracks.”

Shameless trash at that…
