134.

‘After making one of Lily’s legs unusable, he put her in the same barracks.’

My stomach was boiling the entire time I listened, but what made me angriest was something else.

“Ren, that person—”

“Let’s just call him ‘that bastard’ consistently.”

First of all, the way they talked with that strangely married-couple-like feeling made my stomach turn.

“…Back then, you were trying to take care of me because my leg wasn’t moving well.”

“Aha.”

“Since it was wartime, we couldn’t have more barracks— Ren, are you really listening to me…?”

“Yeah, I’m listening to everything. I haven’t said anything.”

This was exactly it.

‘It seems like Lily keeps trying to defend that bastard?’

Don’t tell me…

Ren examined Lillian’s expression down to the finest detail.

Don’t tell me Lillian was leaning toward that bastard…

Did she actually like him?

Jealousy caused temporary tinnitus in his ears.

“Ugh.”

Ren reflexively grabbed the back of his neck.

It was a warning to die rather than have his imprinted partner stolen away.

Lillian jumped up and reached her hand toward his neck area.

“…! Ren, what’s wrong!? Are you okay?”

He was fine except for the imprint briefly trying to kill him.

In the meantime, Lillian touched his neck like a cat’s kneading.

Warmth lingered wherever she touched.

“…Did you treat that bastard this gently too?”

He felt like he could die from happiness that Lillian was touching him, while simultaneously his heart was being torn apart.

“Ren. I told you it’s you.”

“So what?”

Ren examined Lillian’s expression even more persistently.

Come to think of it, Lillian had also cared about his father.

Even when Lillian acted shamelessly adorable, unlike him, she was too soft-hearted, so he thought that was why.

But what if it was really a matter of preference?

If that were the case.

“Lily. Did you like me when I was four years older than now?”

“…!”

Do you love that bastard?

He couldn’t bring himself to say that due to jealousy, but Lillian’s face was already turning red.

Through her touch stroking around his neck area, Lillian’s emotions faintly transmitted to him.

Embarrassment and shyness came through at the mention of an older man.

Crack.

“…Ren!? Your mouth is bleeding!”

“Don’t worry about such trivial things.”

“But you’re bleeding!”

Ren stood up and licked the corner of his mouth with his tongue tip. This kind of thing heals quickly.

He cupped both of Lillian’s cheeks with his hands. Instantly, a sizzling silence fell with the heat of the barracks.

He smiled with unfocused, narrowed eyes.

“Lily. If you liked my appearance four years from now that much.”

“Huh…?”

“If you stay with me for four more years, then you’ll like me at that time, right?”

He slowly pulled Lillian toward him.

Lillian’s body grew hot and stiffened, but she didn’t reject him.

Maybe she was already used to it from doing this with his past life self.

He really felt like he might go crazy with jealousy.

“Even a guy who used to pour nasty words on you, you liked him…”

The tips of Lillian’s ears turned red.

Pretending not to notice while talking, he deliberately rubbed his cheek against Lillian’s head.

As Lillian grew redder and redder, he wanted to push a little further.

“Hm? We have the same face, but if I do better.”

“Ren—”

“You could like me much more, couldn’t you?”

This was the first time in his life he had deliberately tried to seduce someone like this.

But he had to bring out every weapon he could use.

Right now, instead of being wary of Gold, he needed to be more wary of another Silver.

“I’ll do better, Lily.”

He whispered while holding Lillian tightly.

“So start over with me with four years from now as the premise.”

“What, did you just, say…”

He forgot.

Lillian was a Controller, so her stamina wasn’t as good as his, being an Ability User.

Since Lillian seemed to be having trouble breathing, he looked at her properly.

“I don’t want to be your contract fiancé anymore.”

He hated ambiguous relationships.

He was gradually finding it unbearably difficult to tolerate Lillian giving even a bit of attention to another ‘person.’

“So let’s meet again with marriage as the premise, Lily.”

“But.”

Ren struck first by pointing to what Lillian clearly liked.

“You definitely like my face. So feel free to devour it and live off it.”

“But, the imprint, please release it. You said so during the contract. Our damage compensation treaty is incredibly long, you know?”

“I’ll compensate for everything, so let’s rewrite the contract.”

To think she’d shrewdly look after the contract in the midst of all this. Lillian really was so lovable he wanted to die.

Or kill this world instead.

“So now really take all of me.”

* * *

Night is a good time to fall into existential contemplation.

A perfect time to fall into the vast universe of question marks along with the stars of this world and flail about…

“Uh oh…”

After flailing about and coming to her senses, Lillian found herself looking up at the barracks ceiling.

The Villain’s words echoed in her ears like a mountain echo.

‘With four years from now as the premise…’

‘Four years from now…’

‘Feel free to devour it and live off it.’

‘Really take all of me.’

Smack!

Lillian unconsciously slapped one of her own cheeks.

Then she got out of bed and spun around in place.

“Calm down. First, calm down.”

Workshop closure costs, torch repairs, actual loss insurance, hospital room fees…!

Thinking of realistic things made her calm down rapidly.

But thinking of the torch reminded her of the gift the Villain gave her, making her heart beat wildly.

The association went completely wrong.

Lillian buried her face in the bed.

“Uuuugh.”

A strange cry came out, muffled by the blanket.

This was her first time experiencing something like this, so she didn’t know what to think about first.

‘…Even though he says he and his past life are completely different people.’

Seeing how he brought up marriage talk at the barracks, it seems like the two definitely share the same soul.

“…”

Lillian silently took out a hairpin.

It was a precious hairpin with purple flowers blooming on it.

‘A gift the Villain gave me when Mariposa opened.’

The Villain, no, Ren.

Back then, he had disappointed Lillian.

“Back then he showed that spider web pattern…”

‘This man actually dislikes me.’

‘Since I’m running a business that’s not helpful to him.’

‘Though it seemed like it was helpful at other times…’

He could just break the imprint and leave.

That man means just that much to me.

Even when that man sometimes acts too affectionate and sweet—.

‘I’ll never be fooled.’

She was thinking that to herself.

Grandfather, Iris, Kuern, Ramio, Karkin, the Second Empress, and sometimes Kail, the Original Male Lead.

All of them had already trampled on Lillian multiple times.

So harboring tender feelings itself was too bothersome.

‘But…’

While Lillian was fiddling with the hairpin.

Light came from the communication brooch placed on top of the pile of luggage.

– Sister Lillian!

Why is my estranged cousin contacting me in the middle of the night?

‘Should I hang up?’

But fortunately, Ramio made a useful report.

– I defended with the holy relic you sent me!

I had entrusted it to Ramio in case any Belliel we failed to find might do something there.

‘It’s fortunate that he handled it well.’

And it seemed like the ones we couldn’t catch at Revenant’s Palace had joined up with Belliel.

– But sister. Did you perhaps send Crown Prince here? Huh?

“No?”

That person had been here the whole time, perfectly fine. Moreover, he had just confused Lillian’s mind once and left.

– That’s strange? Crown Prince appeared and dealt with all those monsters and heretics—.

“…? Are you still drinking?”

I know gambling and alcohol addiction are scary, but this guy still hasn’t come to his senses?

“You’ve gone crazy. Did you think I really forgave you and let your guard down?”

Should I put this guy back in prison for rehabilitation?

But Ramio protested.

– No! Not just me, someone else, Jared Russell! That person saw it too!
