86.
Chapter 25. Bride
She herself had been unable to enter since Prince Kail became angry.
So she was waiting in the waiting room like this…!
From what she heard, it seemed Lillian had done something again that ultimately favored the Crown Prince.
‘I can’t let them be like that!’
Iris shot up from her seat.
She was so anxious she didn’t know what to do.
“Lady Iris, are you alright?”
“…! Count Caspian.”
It was Count Caspian Boliver, who had recently joined as Prince Kail’s aide.
“Where did Lillian and the Crown Prince go after the meeting ended?”
“…Those two?”
“Yes! Since you’re in charge of the meeting room, do you perhaps know?”
Caspian thought for a moment before answering.
“Come to think of it.”
“…! Did you see the two of them?”
“The maids said, um… it seemed like they were heading to the pavilion.”
“To the pavilion?”
“Yes, that’s what they said. It’s that building right over there.”
From the third-floor glass window, they could catch a glimpse of the path they were taking.
Iris ran down the corridor without taking her eyes off, confirming their destination.
‘Where are those two going right now?’
Iris was someone who would live in the Imperial Palace someday.
So she had roughly memorized the layout in her head.
The ground floor of the building they were heading to had nothing particularly interesting. There were only empty rooms like banquet halls.
It didn’t seem like the Crown Prince, who disliked the Imperial Palace, would bother taking Lillian to such a place…
Then…
‘That building’s underground is the more important place.’
Those two, could they be going to the underground library?
‘Seeing that even the Crown Prince is with her, they must be going to see something precious.’
Because unlike the regular library, the underground was a special area that truly required Tarandia bloodline to enter.
‘I need to report this…!’
Iris turned around and ran off.
* * *
“Was it alright to leave Duke Tillard to Duke Baltazar?”
I don’t think the latter would lose.
He could even summon a familiar to drive away my original grandfather if needed.
But I asked, hoping no murder would occur.
The Villain acted completely uninterested.
“The Duke found his calling, so we should congratulate him.”
“…”
“It seems one can discover their aptitude at any point in life.”
I knew it.
While Duke Baltazar monopolized attention, Lillian was heading to the underground library with the Villain.
She had never really liked underground places, whether in the past or now.
While she was moderately enduring the discomfort, the Villain walking ahead stopped.
“Here we are.”
When the Villain placed his hand on it, the door to where the most precious books were stored opened.
Lillian was suspicious.
“Your Highness, do you trust me this much?”
What if I secretly grab something and run away?
The Villain smiled pleasantly.
“Are you confident you can leave without me? Without a Tarandia here, you’d become a skeleton.”
“How terrible.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of your skeleton.”
That’s not the point I’m worried about.
But Lillian carefully went to the old bookshelf marked as storing prophecy books.
She had worried there might be many prophecies, but there weren’t as many as she thought.
Lillian searched through them by year and found it quickly.
The name was written on the spine of a thin book the size of her palm.
‘Here it is…!’
<Revelation Given to Estel Tillard and Ruen Tillard>
<Prophecy About Lillian Tillard>
…Really about me?
After living 20 years as someone powerless, and manifesting abilities almost like an accident?
She opened the book.
The content was written on just a few pages.
<The butterfly beloved by all flowers
Shall wander through time, crossing winter
But even if fate is stolen, she will return
To become the bride of God’s monster>
The bride of God’s monster…
‘Who does this refer to…?’
But when Lillian read the last phrase, a bluish light emanated from the letters on the page.
And her vision instantly turned black.
* * *
When she came to her senses, Lillian was ten years old.
Her current age’s consciousness immediately disappeared, and she was running through the temple like a ten-year-old.
‘Hehe.’
I came to the temple with Mother and Father!
Lillian trotted over and dipped her hands in the temple’s holy water for measurement.
If I pray hard this time, I’ll definitely be able to manifest.
“Please let me get an A…”
A is the prettiest letter in the world.
A giggling young voice came from behind.
When she turned around, there was a boy whose face was completely blacked out.
But in her mind, she thought that boy was very pretty.
So she spoke to him.
“What? Why are you laughing?”
“Because what you’re wishing for is so small and cute.”
“A isn’t small!”
Lillian got angry.
Brother Kuern was also an A, and Grandfather is an A too.
A is an amazing grade, yet he says it’s small!
“You, you can’t say things like that carelessly!”
And who is this boy to be wandering around the temple alone?
Moreover, speaking so casually to Lillian.
Only then did Lillian belatedly tilt her head.
“Who are you? Are you from one of the Five Great Families?”
“…Me? Similar.”
“Pavil? Or Boliver?”
“….”
“Baltazar?”
The boy with his face completely blackened out smiled.
“How can you compare me to such trivial things.”
“What? Then you, are you Tarandia?”
“….”
“Then maybe-!”
Lillian covered her mouth with both hands.
Could he be His Majesty the Emperor’s illegitimate child…!?
Even at ten years old, she knew what an illegitimate child was. Though she didn’t really know how they were born.
‘If he’s of imperial blood, I’ll acknowledge him even if his way of speaking is annoying!’
However, the boy replied with a coldly chilled voice.
“Your groom.”
“Huh?”
“Your groom, Lillian.”
…Lillian immediately frowned.
Her parents had told her.
If boys harass you, kick them in the groin. They would take responsibility for the aftermath!
“You can’t say things like that!”
Lillian approached him angrily.
But then the wind blew, and the door behind the boy opened.
Lillian, who had been putting all her strength into her feet, froze.
“…Uh….”
Mother and Father are lying on the floor.
They’re not moving. The edges of their clothes are red.
Why?
The boy who had called himself her ‘groom’ clicked his tongue.
“Oh no. Did you see?”
“…!”
Lillian couldn’t even scream.
The boy had merely touched Lillian’s left shoulder.
But somehow she had collapsed on the floor too.
It hurt so much her eyes felt like they would pop out.
“I can’t kill you here.”
She couldn’t breathe.
“But…. You’ll live your whole life as a powerless person, so it’s the same.”
What did you do to me?
“Take care, my bride.”
It hurts….
Lillian crawled toward Mother and Father.
She squeezed herself between the two and curled up her body.
There was a strange metallic smell coming from both of them.
That made her so sad.
‘But it’ll be okay….’
When I wake up, this will all be a dream.
And never again will I whine to Mother and Father about my grade….
“Honey, why are you doing this.”
But then a familiar man suddenly lifted Lillian from behind.
“Huh? You can’t sleep in a place like this. I didn’t tell you to….”
It was a voice that sounded very upset.
“Hold onto me properly.”
“Ugh….”
“Now, we’re going to leave this place together.”
The scent of the snow-covered forest wafted over as her vision turned black.
