9.

Ramio clutched his eyes with both hands.

He couldn’t bear the itching and intense pain caused by the pepper powder.

“Li, Lillian! You!”

And just then, the black curtain that had lost its effectiveness lifted.

Lillian frantically looked around at her surroundings.

‘Ha, I’ve been separated from the group I was traveling with.’

Even though it was dark at night, the silhouettes of the trees were different.

Ramio must have captured Lillian with this magic and moved her some distance.

‘I don’t know exactly how far I’ve been taken, but…!’

Lillian quickly threw herself into the dark forest, running as if diving.

If she was caught this time, it wouldn’t be just being chased to the Northern Villa.

‘They won’t let me out of the mansion at all until I marry Karkin!’

In fact, Lillian knew.

She had no abilities, yet her lineage was uselessly too noble.

On the other hand, the Pavil Family was a household that insisted on the best.

So they wouldn’t give up on Lillian.

But instead.

‘Lillian. I’m the only one who would take someone as incompetent as you as a partner.

So you’ll have to stay quiet even if illegitimate children are born.

Why? What if the child you bear is also strange?

That’s why everyone has acknowledged this.

Duke Tillard, Young Duke Kuern, Iris, Her Majesty the Empress…

Your opinion isn’t needed in this world.’

The future to come.

The bullshit she had seen in the ‘original work’ already sounded like it had happened.

She felt disgusted even though she hadn’t experienced it directly.

Lillian gritted her teeth even while running away.

‘Please, there has to be somewhere to hide. If I wander around in a place like this, the prince’s party won’t even be able to find…!’

But just as Lillian spotted a bush where she could hide.

Her right wrist was grabbed by a strong hand.

“…!”

“Ha, look who’s crawling around?”

Ramio glared at Lillian with one eye covered and the other bloodshot red.

“This is what I get for going easy on you because you’re my cousin- Gah!”

Bang!

A flash occurred along with a small explosion sound.

Ramio tumbled to the ground.

“Aaaaah…!”

“Hah, you think, only you know how to use weapons?”

Lillian panted as she snapped back.

How fortunate it was that she had time to rummage through her bag while running.

‘It’s also fortunate that this bastard won’t be able to leave any scratches on my body.’

Because she was still a valuable commodity in the marriage market.

Unfortunately, Lillian had no offensive power.

But she had a magic torch that could reach temperatures up to 1,400 degrees.

And she could also create small flame bursts with that torch!

Lillian gripped the torch like a pistol and gritted her teeth.

“Don’t you dare crawl around, you damn bastard.”

* * *

The barracks was in complete chaos.

It was because of the attack that had occurred after Evren left.

No one was injured, but the woman they had left there had been kidnapped.

In a situation where he was already feverish and couldn’t control his body…

‘Lillian Tillard.’

There was no scent at all.

It felt as if that meant she was dead.

He had crossed life-and-death situations countless times.

Even then, it wasn’t like this.

Yet his heart was pounding incomparably faster than before.

‘There’s no reason not to tell you now… since this is the last time.’

She was someone he could only despise.

The long-standing political opposition was one thing.

And the way she had chased after that stupid fiancé was another.

However, hell broke loose in his head.

His instincts scolded him for letting her be destroyed first when they couldn’t even have her.

He had to find her immediately!

The injured knight at the barracks confirmed that it was Ramio Tillard who had taken Lillian.

He would have tried to rendezvous with his original party, so he couldn’t have gone far.

While frantically searching the area, one knight pointed toward the mountain ridge shrouded in darkness.

“Your Highness! Look over there!”

White lights flickered sporadically from the lower part of the mountain ridge, distinguishable from the night sky only by its silhouette.

But before he could gauge what those lights were.

Kiiiiiii…

A sound echoed like sharp nails scraping down a steel plate.

A terrible sound that could never be confused with an ordinary beast’s cry…

Elias turned around with a frozen face.

“Your Highness, that’s-“

A demon had appeared.

And the scent of lilies was flowing from the source of that cry.

* * *

After creating flame bursts with the torch.

Lillian staggered away from that spot.

However, she truly reached her limit before going far. Lillian put her hands on her knees and bent over.

“Hah, ugh…”

The feverish heat made her head spin. The forest shrouded in darkness was suffocating.

‘I deliberately used a tool that produces light.’

So the prince’s party could find her…

But thinking about it, it was ridiculous again.

‘Where’s the guarantee that those people will come?’

She hadn’t seen the last page of the original work, but it was obvious.

‘They probably lost to the original female and male leads anyway.’

And died.

That’s why she had viewed them as tools for escaping beyond the border.

They were like breathing paper dolls to Lillian.

They probably saw Lillian similarly.

‘The only suitable tool for extracting information about Tillard.’

It was as expected.

‘At least I brought my bag.’

Both the fake identification and the supplies for settling in the Kingdom of Tenebryn were intact.

‘I can hear water nearby.’

Following the stream downstream usually leads to a village.

Let’s regroup from there.

From there, again….

But her body, unable to overcome the fever, collapsed forward on its own.

Screech, screeeeeeech….

Her feverish body flinched at the ear-numbing metallic sound.

‘This can’t be happening.’

Lillian barely managed to roll her eyes to survey her surroundings.

There shouldn’t be any monsters near Aiterna, she had checked all the dangerous elements before departure….

‘Though the Northern Villa would be a different story.’

That place often had monsters prowling around at night….

No way. The chilling realization came along with the heavy weight of a wolf-type monster’s front paw pressing down on her back.

A groan escaped involuntarily as claws dug in.

A shadow fell over her immobilized head.

“…Damn you.”

Lillian recognized who had approached.

And spat out the harshest curse that came to mind.

“You cockroach-like….”

Little brother bastard…!

* * *

Ramio grinned wickedly with his bloodied face.

“Ha. I offered to take you back nicely, but you wouldn’t listen.”

Lillian was struggling under the monster’s paw.

Artifacts that summoned monsters were forbidden items.

But Ramio had used one without hesitation.

“This monster, happy to see you after so long? It likes you best, sister.”

“Don’t tell me this! All this time, you summoned…! Ugh!”

“Stay still, sister. If you get scarred, Count Pavil really will reject you.”

Though Lillian’s abilities were trash-tier, she had the most presentable face even within the Tillard family, known for generations of beauties.

He couldn’t ruin the family’s good card.

Ramio pulled out a communication artifact connected to the family knights.

“Hey, I found Lillian. I’ll bring her back-“

But Ramio couldn’t finish his communication.

Screech! Screech!

The wolf-type monster that had been pinning Lillian down howled sharply.

It leaped away from Lillian, hopping around as if its front paws had been burned.

“What the hell, why is it acting…!”

The monster that had been jumping in pain now froze completely.

In the blink of an eye, the world turned white.

A world where hearing had completely vanished, as if snow had quietly fallen.

And the monster melted away like snow under sunlight.

“…!”

Ramio’s face was slammed into the nearest tree with his mouth still agape.

As soon as he tried to pull his face away, a strong grip smashed Ramio’s face back into the tree.

“Such refined manners for addressing your elders.”

“Grrgh…!”

“You remind me so much of someone’s little brother, it’s quite heartwarming.”
