Seliya made eye contact with Dietrich.
The reason Dietrich kept her by her side was because she had special abilities and because she was terminally ill.
A terminal illness with a lifespan of just over a year.
There is no time limit to use it as much as you want and throw it away.
Yes. What is the importance of him having a special ability?
As her lifespan was not long, she took the Emperor's life with the intention of killing the Emperor who led the kingdom's destruction.
However, Abelon was still alive and well.
This huge and terrible empire was not a country that would collapse due to the death of the Emperor.
Seliya couldn't bear to see that.
That day was the day the female knight ran with her on her back. After the Dylan incident, his father only assigned female knights as her bodyguards. She thought that as long as there were women, they wouldn't touch Seliya.
When she asked her what was going on with her half-asleep face, she kept her words as sparing as possible and only repeated that she had to run away from here.
The first thing she saw as she walked out into the hallway was the sight of her father's neck rolling up to her feet. Until the moment he died, her father's eyes were focused on her, as if he was worried about her.
Clicking iron armor, a sword covered in her father’s blood, and... Abelon.
- His Majesty the Emperor said to kill every living human being on sight! Kill everyone, including newborn babies!
The knight who shouted so had the emblem of Abelon engraved on his chest, with two pairs of white snakes wrapped around a sword.
Seliya slowly closed and opened her eyes once, trying to calm her whirling mind.
As Dietrich said, she doesn't know whether the Three Dukes are really her enemies or not. Maybe Dietrich was her enemy.
It was at this moment that Seliya finally knew exactly what she truly wanted.
She wanted to completely destroy Abelon.
She wanted to see with her own eyes the destruction of this dirty Empire before she died.
She thought it would be impossible for her to overthrow this empire on her own, but seeing that they were alive and well even after assassinating the Emperor, it didn't seem impossible at all.
'Instead, I should act more thoughtfully and put in some effort.'
- Aren’t you going to go into His Majesty the Crown Prince’s bedroom?
What Dietrich said was absurd. She is nothing in this imperial palace now. Although she was cleared of the charge of assassinating the Emperor, she unwillingly became the Crown Prince's mistress.
Even if she had said at the banquet that she was not the Crown Prince's mistress, nothing would have changed for her. Because people always listen to those in power.
In this Abelon, she is nothing.
She said that was her position now.
“Is there somewhere for me to go in this imperial palace?”
Seliya said and she let go of Dietrich's hand.
At once, Dietrich's eyebrows seemed to narrow.
Illeon still had his hands connected to Seliya. The reason why Seliya let go of Dietrich's hand but not Illeon's hand was simple.
This was because he was the Three Dukes who were more like an Emperor than the real Emperor.
Probably, Illeon is the person with the most knowledge and the highest power in Abelon. So the Crown Prince probably couldn't say anything to his words.
Illeon smiled and suggested to Seliya.
“I plan to stay at the imperial palace until the Emperor’s coronation ceremony. There is a separate drawing room in the imperial palace that can only be used by the three ducal families. If you don’t mind, how about Lady Seliya staying there too?”
What Illeon meant was that he wanted to have Seliya under his protection.
It was unexpected for Seliya to propose so readily. However, if she suddenly accepts this offer, he will lose interest in her.
“Thank you for the offer, but it’s okay.”
Seliya let go of Illeon's hand.
Illeon looked at his hand, which had lost its warmth, with a sad expression on his face.
“Anyway, I am now His Majesty the Crown Prince’s mistress.”
With those words, Seliya turned away from the two men. She felt persistent eyes on her back, but instead of turning her head, she started walking towards the palace, where the Crown Prince would be.
***
The Crown Prince's maid had a very frightened look on her face. As soon as she found Seliya, she rushed over and guided Seliya to the Prince's sleeping quarters.
“Where have you been? Your Highness has been searching for you all the time.”
“...”
Seliya thought that the man's words could not be trusted. Dietrich said earlier, she was definitely sleeping in the bed first.
As she stepped into the Prince's room, the strong smell of wine assaulted her nose.
The room was large and spacious, but there were wine bottles lying around haphazardly on the floor.
Seliya looked around the room filled with all kinds of expensive furniture and found Jeremy.
Jeremy was sprawled out on the huge bed next to the window, with his upper body exposed. He let out a cool voice as he buried his face in the pillow.
“Didn’t you hear me tell you to bring Seliya right away?”
“I brought her here now.”
When the maid said that she had been brought in, Jeremy lifted his head. His purple eyes flashed strangely.
At the same time, the door closed behind Seliya with a thud.
The maid closed the door from the outside.
As the light coming through the crack in the door disappeared, the room became even darker.
Seliya was able to gain some visibility using the moonlight seeping through the open window as a guide.
She saw Jeremy out of bed. It was obvious that he was still sober as he was clutching his forehead with a frizzy look on his face.
“You’re coming late too. What’s so unpleasant about me calling you my mistress?”
Jeremy walked closer to Seliya, staggering around her body. He waved his arms in the air and smiled darkly as he pulled Seliya's body towards him.
“Your waist is so thin. I’m sure the others didn’t get burned, right?”
“..."
“No matter how much you hate me, it doesn’t change the fact that you are my mistress.”
Jeremy grinned at her with dilated pupils.
The color of his eyes and hair resembled that of his mother, but his smile was very similar to that of the Emperor.
Jeremy muttered, burying his head near Seliya's collarbone.
“When I come to my senses, the first thing I will do is put shackles on your ankles. You can’t go to someone else.”
At that moment, she felt a slight pain in her collarbone. Jeremy bit her collarbone and left his mark.
Seliya's eyes sank. She pondered for a moment whether to use her supernatural ability or not. Because she was terminally ill, she had to use her powers only when absolutely necessary.
“Even without shackles, I won’t go anywhere.”
What Seliya said was true. Even without the shackles, Seliya had no intention of leaving this imperial palace. She would not leave the imperial palace even if someone told her to do so until she saw Abelon destroyed and reduced to ashes.
“What did you say to Illeon earlier? You dared to leave me behind, so there’s no guarantee you won’t do it next time.”
Jeremy looked at the mark on Seliya's neck as if he were devouring it.
Seliya found Jeremy like that really funny. Because he is not confident in himself, he darkly leaves marks on her collarbone.
“I didn’t say anything.”
“But why didn’t you come back after two hours?”
Jeremy screamed and grabbed Seliya’s wrist. He grabbed Seliya and threw her down on his bed.
“I need to hug you right now. Then this dirty feeling will get better.”
He brushed her thighs together as Jeremy climbed on top of Seliya's body.
Why are thr men so anxious to lust after her body?
Seliya was very sick of men.
'As expected, it would be better to use this ability.'
Even though he was drunk, she had a hard time withstanding the man's grip.
Even though it might be a bit hard on her body, she can't be trampled by this dirty guy. Seliya reached out her hand and roughly grabbed Jeremy's head as he lowered her head into the crook of her neck.
"Ha."
Instead of Jeremy making a fuss at her, he let out a moan that was like a sigh.
Seliya, who was wondering if he had lost his senses due to being drunk with wine, decided that it would be a good idea to use her supernatural abilities.
Just as Seliya was about to use her supernatural ability, the curtains on the window fluttered and a black figure appeared before her eyes.
As she followed shiny, slippery military boots up, he saw familiar eyes through the black hood. The eyes were as red as blood.
“!”
It was Dietrich.
Jeremy didn't even notice Dietrich's intrusion, as he was focusing all his attention on lusting after Seliya.
Dietrich frowned at her, then tilted his hand and struck the back of Jeremy's neck hard.
With that one gesture, Jeremy's eyes closed and his body went limp like a corpse.
Dietrich laid Jeremy, who was crushing Seliya's body on him, on the hard floor of the bed. He casually threw the blanket on the bed onto Jeremy's body and opened his mouth.
“I knocked him out, so he won’t wake up for half a day.”
Seliya looked up at Dietrich with her suspicious eyes.
“Why are you doing this? If you get caught, it will only be a loss to you.”
“...”
Dietrich's gaze fell from Seliya's face to the area around Seliya's collarbone.
A collarbone with red teeth marks.
Dietrich, who was silently looking at the traces, spoke in a low voice.
“I’m sorry.”
“...”
“Because I’m sorry. There is no other reason.”
After he finished speaking, Dietrich showed her his back.
“Get on my back. I will take you to a safe place.”
A safe place? Is there a safe place in Abelon?
Dietrich, who may not have read Selya's thoughts, continued his words.
“There is a stable on the outskirts of the imperial palace. It’s a stable with only old and sick war horses, and I’m the only one who takes care of them.”
“...Stall?"
“Yes, a stable. Stay in my quarters next to the stable until the commotion subsides. Please note that no one else is allowed in there. The horses that ride in my hands are very fierce. But it will be okay if you come with me.”
This was Seliya's first time seeing Dietrich talk so much, and she was very surprised.
Dietrich turned her around, and he dressed Seliya in the black robes he was wearing.
Maybe it was because she fit his body perfectly, but when Seliya put it on, the robe was left dragging on the floor. Still, she looked much better than wearing a white mermaid dress.
“Now, get on my back.”
'As expected, it would be better to use this ability.'
