34.
Lillian was wearing the molting veil and watching the mountain path together with the Villain.
Soon, she could see a black-haired man riding a white horse, leading knights and arriving at the area where the ‘ability mines’ had been installed.
“…Just as expected. It looks like he brought ‘Daybreak’ and the Imperial Knights with him.”
Lillian whispered into the Villain’s ear.
The ‘Daybreak’ members wearing blue uniforms were the personal knight order led by the original male protagonist.
Some are shadows and some are daybreak.
The original work’s biased affection was showing.
‘But I’ve deactivated all the abilities and reinstalled them now.’
The original male protagonist moved away from his group together with the brown-haired man.
He was extremely angry and shouting at his subordinate.
‘Wow, they’re fighting.’
Among themselves.
Lillian held her breath and listened intently.
The advisor was crying and pleading.
“Your Highness, if this goes wrong…! Like an earthquake, the damage will be severe-.”
“-Then that can be passed on to Baltazar!”
Lillian clicked her tongue.
Isn’t he speaking his true intentions too nakedly?
“Your Highness, who is he fighting with?”
“It seems to be Sedric Bane, Kail’s advisor.”
“Ah, Sedric… I need to save that man.”
“…”
“Your Highness?”
“It’s really strange.”
The Villain lowered his head.
“Why do you know so much about my younger brother’s side? As if you’re his Controller or something.”
“What?”
“You know that guy’s advisor really well too. Why do you care so much about him.”
His personality is really strange.
He’s not suspecting me for contributing this much by spilling everything I know, is he? At this point.
“Why would I become the 2nd Prince’s Controller? Right now I don’t have enough brain space because I’m worried about Your Highness.”
In case you cause trouble.
“I only worry about Your Highness and the Shadows.”
In case my life that got entangled with yours gets buried along with it.
…Of course, she was relieved that no one had fallen victim to those mines.
Wanting to live well on her own.
Seeing people she knew lying dead.
These two things were different.
That sincerity seemed to reach the Villain as well.
Judging by how he lowered his eyes and smiled with satisfaction.
“Hmm, I see…”
“But, Your Highness. You’re not really going to annihilate them, are you?”
The original Villain thought it was more efficient to ‘eliminate bothersome things.’
‘There were quite a few places he wiped out like that in the original. But…’
To Lillian’s question, the Villain answered indifferently.
“Well. When they’re trying to screw me over, I wonder if they really need to keep breathing…”
“Punishment should be received while alive. And annihilating them right now would actually be boring.”
She had no intention of persuading someone without ethics using ethics.
The Villain laughed quietly.
“Then, what direction do you think would be interesting.”
“With so many spectators here, we should humiliate them.”
He arbitrarily mobilized and brought the Imperial Knights.
‘Pretty impressive for someone who’s not even the Emperor.’
And first…
She needed to check what that advisor would scheme behind the male protagonist who was turning his back and leaving.
‘You’re not really an advisor either.’
Next would be their entrance.
* * *
A while later.
Sedric Bane wiped the tears flowing uglily from behind his glasses.
“Sniff, sob.”
Kail was noble on the surface.
However, being a perfectionist, he couldn’t tolerate anything that deviated even slightly from his plans.
‘This is your chance to prove your loyalty. Go install more.’
Sedric looked down at the ‘opportunity’ in his hands.
‘Ah, it would be terrible if this is used wrongly.’
What should he do with this?
He had to pretend to follow since it was a ‘mission.’
Sedric buried the bomb roughly in the ground.
But after burying it all, he gasped.
“Kugh!”
A dizzying pain pierced through his temples.
He must have been contaminated by the ability that leaked while transporting it…
‘Ugh, this is why I didn’t want to do this.’
But then someone grabbed Sedric’s hand.
His damaged nerves began to be sorted out and heal in an instant.
It seemed to be a veiled pink-haired beauty…
Her features looked somehow soft and round like marshmallows.
What?
“Are you conscious now?”
“Y-yes? Th-thank you-.”
“Good, I caught a witness.”
“…?”
* * *
‘Why isn’t the bomb still exploding?’
Kail became anxious.
Even more so because he was conscious of the knights who had followed him out.
“Your Highness, the time is really…”
“If monsters appear, you could solve it with your ability-.”
“Wait just a little longer!”
Kail shouted.
Kail despised his own ability.
What good was S-rank deadly poison?
It wasn’t the most important ‘annihilation.’
He didn’t want to use such a petty ability that was completely unworthy of royalty.
But he also didn’t like others showing off their abilities in front of him. That’s why he chose the direction of pursuing efficiency.
But…
Kail suddenly covered his nose with the back of his hand because of a fragrance filling his lungs.
‘Why has it been like this since earlier?’
Perhaps because it was dark, the lily scent was so intense it was suffocating.
What? Who would do such a thing…?
But before he could identify the source of the fragrance, a terrible monster approached.
“Oh my, I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
“…Evren?”
“What’s wrong, little brother?”
Evren smiled.
Seeing that artificial smile, chills ran down Kail’s spine.
“You don’t seem happy to see your brother after so long.”
“…”
“How disappointing. It breaks my heart.”
Kail clenched his fists so tightly his knuckles might burst.
Happy, disappointed.
…Heart?
How disgusting to speak so casually of something he doesn’t even possess!
“And you brought so many people for a monster subjugation? Daybreak and the Imperial Knights? You must have been quite frightened.”
“…!”
“How unsightly.”
The Shadows around Evren dared to snicker.
“Well, you’ve only been in the Capital, so it must have been overwhelming.”
“How old are those Daybreak members again?”
“They’re probably still young enough to cry for their parents when camping, right?”
Have these creatures truly lost their minds?
No matter if they’re Evren’s subordinates, they cannot dare to be so disrespectful to a prince of Tarandia!
The atmosphere among Daybreak also turned sharp as they assessed the situation.
“How dare these filthy things that grovel in dirt!”
“These bastards…!”
The atmosphere was becoming as deadly as thin ice.
That’s when Kail first noticed the woman beside Evren.
The woman wearing a veil had such a vague impression, like someone passing by in a crowd.
But her appearance wasn’t the issue.
‘In that woman’s hand…?’
Kail unconsciously flinched.
Wasn’t she holding a dismantled ability mine in her hand?
“What might this be, Your Highness? Is this something made in the Imperial Palace?”
“Hmm? This looks illegal.”
“Oh my, surely not!”
The woman made an exaggerated fuss.
“The Second Prince is famous for his bravery. Surely, you wouldn’t worry about not being able to defeat the First Prince… and set up illegal weapons!”
He could feel ‘Daybreak’s’ eyes boring into his back.
He must become a noble emperor.
Instead of having the ‘ability of annihilation,’ everything else had to be perfect.
Everyone knew how obsessively he treated his subordinates because of this.
While everyone murmured in confusion, Kail’s eyes were fixed on one person.
Is that woman Evren’s retainer?
What is this wench spreading lily fragrance?
What the hell…!
Kail unconsciously reached out his hand.
But before he could get any closer, a thunderous roar came from behind.
“Your Highness! What in the world is going on here!?”
* * *
Lillian inwardly smirked at the commanding voice that reached them.
‘As expected, Boliver making a scene.’
Even the high-ranking elders who could have stayed back from such trivial matters came rushing out immediately.
