“I think Arthur Cervantes will do something sooner or later.”
These were the words Dietrich said as soon as he returned to his mansion, brushing his black hair.
“So does Illeon.”
Dietrich looked down at Seliya with a worried look on his face.
However, Seliya was actually fine.
Last night, her body was full of vitality, perhaps because Dietrich had kissed her.
Just as a shower of rain falls on dry land, it is as if a person who has not had a sip of water for several days drinks from an oasis.
When she kisses Dietrich, she really feels like her worn-out body becomes healthy in an instant.
'At this level, even if I use this ability, I won't bleed like before.'
After finishing her thoughts, Seliya exhaled her hyacinth scent.
The fragrant scent of hyacinths that bloomed from Seliya wafted through the hallway where only the two of them were alone.
Dietrich said, grabbing Seliya's hand.
"No. Do not do that."
With those words, Seliya instantly gained her special ability.
Previously, even if she used her powers for a moment, she would feel dizzy, as if her head was spinning.
But now, even though she used her supernatural ability, her head didn't hurt at all.
"It's okay."
Seliya said, her eyes shining.
“My head doesn’t hurt anymore. Now I can use my powers to my heart’s content.”
Seliya's powers were strong. Because she could emit the scent of hyacinth and paralyze the five senses of men within range.
Until Seliya takes away her powers, her opponent cannot move and they cannot hear or see anything.
“I just have to find an opportunity to be alone with Illeon and then use my supernatural ability to kill him.”
Dietrich's eyes narrowed at Seliya's words.
“Alone...?”
"Yes. And then I stabs him with a dagger. Just like the Emperor who died by my hand before.”
“Shelly.”
Dietrich called Seliya in a soft voice.
“Do you want Illeon to die? Or, do you want the destruction of Abelon?”
The death of Illeon and the fall of Abelon.
Seliya wondered if Illeon's death would directly lead to the destruction of Abelon.
Dietrich seemed to have read Seliya's thoughts as he caressed Seliya's cheek.
The hand caressing her cheek felt like he was touching something extremely precious.
“If you kill Illeon, all the humans in Abelon will rise up. Probably, the other Dukes won’t sit still either.”
Seliya pondered for a moment before answering Dietrich’s words.
“But Illeon won’t leave us alone. Wouldn’t it be better for us to act first before they attack us?”
“Illeon must have completed all preparations for what will happen after his death. In other words, killing Illeon right now will not destroy Abelon.”
I want to kill Ileon right now, but I can't.
Seliya felt frustrated.
She was feeling better at best, but what good was that if she couldn't use her supernatural abilities?
“Shelly. What do you really want? Whatever you want, I will follow your choice.”
Even at this moment, Dietrich respected her.
Like Seliya, he also lost everything he had in one day, entered the imperial palace of an enemy country, suffered all kinds of humiliation, and eventually took the position of commander of the Imperial Knights.
"I am...”
Seliya, who trailed off her words, thought about it calmly.
If she kills Ileon, who led the destruction of her kingdom, she will feel relieved right away, but in the end, the legacy of Abelon will persist.
Unlike her kingdom, which was destroyed and completely disappeared from the map. Seliya was madly hating this empire that had trampled on his kingdom.
Everything he had was taken away in an instant. The family and the kingdom were reduced to ashes and burned.
All she had left was her torn heart and body.
When she saw that Abelon had destroyed her allies and even others, there was no one left besides Seliya.
She was alone.
Seliya paralyzed the five senses of the coachman driving the carriage heading to Abelon with her supernatural powers and forced her body into the carriage.
After she entered Abelon, she spread dirty mud on her face, fearing that someone might recognize her.
Fortunately, no one remembered the Princess of the Forgotten Kingdom.
Still, Seliya, who didn't know it, had been living in his back alley for months, rummaging through trash cans.
She felt like she was going even more crazy because she couldn't figure out why her kingdom had to fall.
The words the knight shouted lingered in Seliya's mind.
"His Majesty the Emperor told us to kill him without leaving a single survivor!"
Seliya wanted revenge on the Emperor as if one was crazy.
However, she was reduced to a street beggar and could not meet the Emperor in the imperial palace.
Afterward, she caught the eye of Viscount Brillion and became his adopted daughter.
There, under the name of public courtship, auction houses were continuously held where products such as oneself were put up for sale.
"Whoever pays the highest price will get a chance to talk to my beautiful daughter. A man who will provide for my lovely and beautiful daughter must naturally be capable. I hope you understand my love for my daughter."
Seliya endured all the indignities.
She smiled with a gentle face, with her soft eye smile, pulling the corners of her mouth until her lips twitched.
Foolish men, captivated by her beautiful appearance, rushed at her like moths seeking the light.
The Angel of Brillion, thr first love to all.
She had all kinds of titles, but Seliya didn't like any of them.
She didn't want to be anyone's first love, and she wasn't an angel. She was simply a human being who was rotten to the core.
It felt quite unpleasant for her to be desired against her will.
Thr men lusted after her, tried to rape her, and forced her to love them.
That wasn't love. It was violence inflicted under the superficial word of first love.
Seliya knew that if she hadn't used her powers to protect herself, she wouldn't have been able to remain sane.
So, it didn't matter if she was terminally ill.
She thought, well, she would rather die than suffer the humans of Abelon.
But before she died, she had to kill the bastard who destroyed her kingdom.
So, risking her life, she entered the imperial palace and killed the Emperor.
She burst out laughing, thinking that everything was finally over.
However, that was not the end, but the beginning.
The Emperor was a scarecrow, and it was Illeon who destroyed her kingdom.
"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 he will take everything from you, just as you did from them."
Just because of that one prophecy.
The head of her father, who had been laughing at her, fell at her feet, and the King and his people all had to be killed.
“I want the destruction of Abelon.”
Seliya's eyes were infinitely calm as she said that.
“But I also want Illeon dead.”
She hopes everything he have is taken away.
She hopes that the misery and loss that she felt back then will be returned tens or hundreds of times.
“I hope that this line of Abelon will be completely cut off.”
This disgusting empire, which once praised herself as the Angel of Brillion, is now branding her a witch and trying to hunt her down.
“I want the hated Abelon to disappear from the map completely.”
Seliya desperately hopes and hopes that everything will burn away.
“As was my kingdom.”
Seliya's wide green eyes were extremely clear.
“And just like your country.”
Dietrich met Seliya's intense gaze.
Sharp, well-crafted eyes.
And, it was deep snow that cut through the curtain of the night sky.
Dietrich looked at Seliya with reverence as he spoke with his back straight and a determined look on his face.
Dietrich wanted to give Seliya everything she wanted.
Whether it is the destruction of Abelon or the lives of all the people of the Abelon Empire.
Dietrich's lips slowly parted.
“If that’s what you want.”
Instead of being frustrated and despairing, Seliya chose revenge.
Here was the brightest person who would persevere and carry out the prophecy in the end.
Such Seliya seemed infinitely more lovely in Dietrich's eyes.
“I will destroy Abelon’s reputation and completely destroy it.”
Seliya smiled brightly at Dietrich’s words.
The next day, two imperial palace officials were found dead side by side in the garden.
The dead are Marquis Teilo and Count Nathan, the winner of the hunting competition.
They were people who had been on Illeon's side for a long time and were the leaders of the ministers.
