“Shelly.”
Vincent, with his light brown hair and purple eyes, was waving his hand at Seliya.
It was a face she hadn't seen in a long time, and she wasn't happy at all.
Next to him was Vincent's father, Viscount Brillion.
'They're Brillion males.'
Seliya's eyes turned cold.
'Last time, Hariel and Gabriel came and made a fuss, and now.'
Seliya seemed to be very fed up with the people of Brillion.
“I heard the news that my sister had gone to the imperial palace late. How much trouble have you had on your own?”
After saying that, Vincent naturally tried to smooth Seliya's hair.
Just before he touched the silver hair, Dietrich roughly grabbed Vincent's wrist.
“Tsk!”
Vincent, who was grabbed by his wrist, let out a groan in pain.
“Don’t touch her carelessly.”
Dietrich's cold voice sent a shiver down Vincent's spine.
“Your Excellency Duke Calypso. Yea...”
Dietrich let go of his hand that was grasping his wrist.
Vincent massaged his numb wrist and looked at Seliya with resentful eyes.
“Sy. Aren’t you happy to see me, your brother? Even when I went to the resort, I always thought about you.”
“...”
“Even though my body was at a resort, I was always thinking about you in my head. When I sleep and when I wake up. Even when doing something.”
Vincent's eyes glowed greedily.
Seliya didn't feel it was worth answering.
“Dietrich.”
Dietrich, whose name was called, nodded his head and hugged Selya.
Seliya wrapped her arms around Dietrich's neck.
Dietrich, holding Seliya, strode his long legs.
“Shelly! Why are you ignoring us?”
The Viscount's sorrowful voice was heard.
Seliya shook her head sideways.
Dietrich walked towards his mansion.
There was a gloomy shadow watching Seliya from behind the tree.
He muttered to himself as he held the elixir that had been given from Reina.
“That guy... I can never win. In order to get my Seliya back, I need to find a way to feed her....”
“... Shelly?”
In a place where there was nothing, someone appeared out of nowhere.
Kane was so shocked that he didn't even dare to scream.
“Is it my Shelly? Huh? Who said it?”
The man who appeared was a very flashy person, in contrast to the gloomy Kane.
The man's golden eyes beneath his platinum hair sparkled like stars.
The identity of the tall, slender man was none other than Arthur.
“While I was away for a while, all kinds of crazy flies were attracted to her. Well, a lot of bugs are attracted to beautiful flowers.”
Arthur muttered to himself, moved his neck, and snatched the potion from Kane's hand in one go.
Kane, who was robbed of his potion in an instant, stretched out his hand in surprise.
“Give it back!”
“What is this? Let me know and I’ll give it back to you.”
“If I tell you what it really is, will you give it back to me?”
"Then..."
Arthur smiled, showing off his neat teeth.
“B-but the person who gave it to me told me not to tell anyone.”
“Well, then I’ll take this.”
"Oh, no. I'll tell you! Please!"
Arthur gestured as if to ask him to speak.
“It’s a little weak.”
“...Weak?"
"Yes. They said it would take effect within 1 minute. It’s a very strong drug that gets people so excited that they lose their minds.”
“Hmm.”
Arthur looked at the potion containing red liquid.
“Who gave this to you?”
“The person who gave it to me told me not to tell.”
“Then I’ll keep this potion.”
“I’ll tell you! It was dark so I couldn’t see it, but a woman with pink hair and blue eyes gave it to me.”
Arthur's pupils contracted and dilated repeatedly.
“Now that I’ve said everything, give it back to me.”
Arthur nodded his head. And, instead of returning the potion, he pressed his index finger to Kane's forehead.
With a single gesture from Arthur, Kane's body fell to the floor like a marionette whose strings had been cut.
“How dare this ugly-looking thing try to violate my Seliya?”
Arthur trampled Kane's body, which was lying on the floor, with his shoe.
Kane was trampled under his feet without any movement.
Sure enough, the moment Arthur pressed Kane's forehead, his heart stopped moving.
“No. She is my Princess Anastasia.”
Arthur threw his head back and laughed like a maniac.
Arthur put the elixir in his arms and walked towards Illeon's palace.
***
Only when Dietrich reached the room did he put Selya down from his arms.
After safely landing on the floor, Seliya sat down on the long sofa.
Dietrich got down next to Seliya.
“Illeon found out our identities. Just, if I kill them all with my special ability and be done with it...”
“Shelly.”
Dietrich looked at Seliya with concern.
“Don’t worry, Shelly. Do you remember what I said last time? We are always one step ahead of them.”
Seliya recalled the words Dietrich had said to her one by one.
- You are saying that the three Dukes were enemies. I'd like to hear a detailed explanation.
When she asked that question, Dietrich answered.
- If you want.
Dietrich told Seliya everything that day, really.
The real reason why the Three Dukes destroyed her kingdom, and all the facts that Seliya was curious about.
- I know I'm not trustworthy.
These were the first words Dietrich uttered while looking down at Seliya.
- No wonder you don't trust me. Because I didn't give you a proper explanation.
Immediately afterward, Dietrich's story continued throughout the night.
- The family of Duke Gregric has believed in prophecy for generations. The head of the family is called the Serpent Apostle and performs rituals by sacrificing people in the main shrine. At that time, the God they serve, 'Basilisk', predicts future events through the executioner's mouth.
- Executor?
- The executioner is the one who sprinkles the blood of those offered as sacrifices, both living and dead. Mainly the priests in the main temple are used as executioners.
Seliya then noticed that when Dietrich spoke dark stories, his red eyes took on a darker color than usual.
- When Illeon had just ascended to the position of head of the family, he destroyed the Shan Kingdom immediately after receiving the first prophecy. I recently found out the contents of that prophecy...
Dietrich's eyes turned to Selya.
- Apostle of the serpent. I see you losing everything you have. Your Abelon will burn, and your fate will take a tragic turn. Over there, I see the people of the Shan Kingdom. The brightest among them will kill you. The Guardian of Light will protect the Light, but they will take everything from you, just as you did from them.
Seliya stopped breathing.
How could Illeon destroy the far-off kingdom just because of one ridiculous prophecy?
Isn't he really crazy?
- Illeon was relieved that he had burned all the people without a single survivor. At that time, he probably had no idea of the existence of this ability. Because he had no idea we were alive.
Dietrich's next words were quiet.
- He felt embarrassed if it became known that he did it, so he blamed it all on the Scarecrow Emperor. Illeon tricked the other two Dukes into signing the petition by claiming that he was in charge of this war, and then...
Seliya knew what Dietrich had omitted.
At that time, her kingdom was destroyed.
Because of one absurd prophecy.
She could only watch helplessly as her father's head lay on the floor and her mother died.
- It was all because of Illeon. If the other two Dukes are innocent... Can’t I just kill Illeon?
Dietrich shook his head at Seliya's words.
- No, to completely destroy Abelon, we must destroy all three ducal families.
-...
-I can't do it on my own, but together we can do it.
Seliya looked at Dietrich's hands.
It was a big hand. She feels reassured just by looking at it.
- We are always one step ahead of them. At least they don't know yet that we have supernatural abilities.
Seliya blinked her eyes slowly.
Dietrich was looking down at her with worried eyes.
“The fact that Ileon found out about our identities means that he admits that we are a threat to him.”
Dietrich was right.
There is no way to find out something that is not even a threat through such a thorough investigation.
“Wouldn’t they try to kill us?”
"It's okay. Shelly, he can’t do anything about you right now.”
Seliya, who was sitting, changed her position and lay down comfortably on the soft sofa.
Dietrich naturally became Seliya's knee pillow.
Seliya, lying down on his hard knees, sighed softly.
“I’m glad I have you.”
Dietrich silently brushed Selya's hair.
The feel of his hand was as soft as a veil.
“I just hate relying on someone, but you’re okay...”
With those words, Seliya fell into a deep sleep.
Her comfortably closed eyelids, shiny silver hair, soft, soft red lips.
Seliya was exceedingly beautiful.
Dietrich could not even imagine how much Seliya had endured on her own.
He had been able to escape the clutches of people's desires since becoming the sword master, but not Seliya.
Seliya's supernatural ability was strong, but because of her strong supernatural ability, she attracted men.
How did she feel as she endured each day while using her life-saving ability?
"I will protect you."
Dietrich gently touched Seliya's cheek.
Seliya's eyebrows trembled and she smiled brightly.
A faint smile also appeared on Dietrich's face as he looked at Seliya.
