TCIWTFY - Part 2 Chapter 197

Medea sat still beside Cesare.

She reached out and touched his skin.

She felt the warmth of a human being who was still alive.

"Cesare."

The unmoved man still kept his eyes closed.

The brilliant golden eyes were closed under the eyelashes, and the flesh had fallen, making the sculptural features stand out even more.

However, his beauty was overshadowed by his grayish skin.

The faint light of life was extinguished in an instant, and it seemed as if the moment of becoming a corpse was just around the corner.

"...Wake up."

A small hand wrapped around his index finger.

"You told me to do it as planned. Then you have to open your eyes. Open your eyes..."

Then Cesare would cover Medea's hand with the other four fingers and tickle the back of her hand.

However, there was no response now.

Medea clenched his index finger.

Even though she squeezed it as hard as she could, he didn't open his eyes to look at her or hold her hand.

Medea looked down at Cesare.

There were only two people in the bedroom.

The indifferent green eyes, whose thoughts were unknown, wavered for a moment.

Finally, she raised her hand.

A small but sharp dagger glowed under the light of the lamp.

Along with the tingling pain, clear blood gushed out from the tip of Medea's index finger.

'If you don't, listen to magic or holy power..."

The fact that she was able to defeat the evil dragon began with her attempt to mix her blood with the dragon's blood.

He doesn't listen to holy power, but maybe, if it's her own blood, it might be possible...

Maybe she can wake Cesare from this cursed pain now.

'Please'

Her earnest heart was contained in every drop of blood that fell to the corner of Cesare's mouth.

Medea wiped the blood stains from between his beautiful mouth.

And waited.

"..."

But nothing happened.

Darkness fell on the dark night.

Until the sky outside the window turns black, until the morning star rises again.

Nothing has changed.

It's not something she didn't expected, but it's just something she tried.

Medea felt like she was being crushed by a huge rock.

"I... You said I was your agent."

Goddess.

Unknowingly, words of resentment erupted.

Even when Medea defeats a dragon, she shows the way at the worst moment. She allowed her to get through it.

"But why now..."

What is the use of being an agent?

Why doesn't my power, the power of the goddess, reach him?

Or do you not allow it?

"Cesare."

While she lost her mind after revealing Rachel's true identity at the wedding in the temple, she wondered if he was like this, too.

Like this...

"Cesare... Don't make me afraid."

She bent down and leaned her white forehead against his temples.

The second oracle came down, and everyone was amazed at her unwavering demeanor, even when Cesare was unexpectedly in a life-or-death situation

Medea has never wavered in front of anyone.

She could only collapse to her heart's content in front of Cesare Katzen, him.

"Cesare, I am... now."

I think I'm a little scared. I'm afraid I'll lose you.

"It's funny. I've lived my life thinking that revenge is everything."

Her hand holding Cesare's index finger was regained.

If I have to lose you in return for that revenge.

"I don't feel like this means much."

Cesare, because of you, I can now dream of the next.

I can now step on the pain of yesterday and wait for tomorrow's joy.

Medea leaned her head in Cesare's arms.

When she closed her eyes, the faint sound of his heartbeat barely kept her from collapsing.

Riding on the white cheeks, a stream of tears flowed down.

- Baby, it's just not time yet.

She didn't understand the sound of the wind that was slightly carried in her ears.

***

Medea's eyes flashed.

It seems that she fell asleep softly next to Cesare.

Suddenly, she felt a noise and saw Terence and Gallo standing in the doorway.

Medea nodded, and Terence spoke.

"Marquis Leniard has been sent back. Sir Theo also said that the doctor said that his other arm will soon be restored."

Gallo then reported.

"I tried to infiltrate the Facade gangsters into the central temple under the boss's orders, but now they have overstrengthened their vigilance and failed."

His expression darkened.

"Judging from the fact that they have quietly sealed off the temple since Sir Theo escaped, it seems that the interior has been brainwashed by them now, or it is all filled with warlocks."

"It is presumed that they are remnants that were scattered across the continent, not the base of the iceberg we attacked."

Since Cesare's absence, the two have been reporting the whole situation to Medea.

"..."

She stared at the two of them.

It looks like usual, but she spent a lot of time with them.

So she was able to read the nervousness hidden behind their usual faces.

"Terence, Gallo."

Gallo's dark brown eyes, Terrence's bloodshot eyes turned to Medea.

"Don't you want to talk to me, too? Accept the oracle?"

If you do that, Cesare will be able to open his eyes.

Everyone here knows that Cesare can walk to the throne that awaits him as usual, without boiling with fever or vomiting blood.

But Terrence immediately shook his head.

"How could it be that you know it's a fabrication?"

When he entered this room, he saw the pale blood stains left on Medea's fingers. which were already red and roughly bandaged, and on the corner of Cesare's mouth.

What would he dare to say in front of Medea's desperation to awaken Cesare, even with her own blood?

"Your Highness must know why Cesare kept the two of us by your side."

His eyes sank as if they were collapsing for a moment.

"Cesare had previously instructed us that if anything should happen to him, we should be instructed to go to Valdina with Your Highness,..."

Terence's eyes reached Medea's belly.

"Here in Katzen, I can help Your Highness sit as the master of the imperial family. Either way, we will obey Your Highness's orders."

"Your Highness is already the owner of Romagna, the fief of the First Prince, so there is no shortage of symbolism."

Gallo tried to winkle mischievously.

"It was arranged by the boss. How cunning he prepared to prevent the marriage from being delayed."

Medea swallowed her laughter.

Cesare Katzen, how far did this fierce and affectionate man prepare and prepare?

Somewhere in her heart tightened hot.

"Your Highness. It must be hard, but please persevere."

"..."

At that moment. She heard urgent footsteps. It was Neril.

"Your Highness, a messenger has come from the imperial palace."

Finally, Perdiccas II broke his patience and called Medea.

"Your Highness does not need to answer. We'll take care of it."

They know why he's calling, but how could the Princess possibly answer?

Terence turned around immediately.

He intended to drive away Perdiccas II's messengers even if it gave the imperial family a pretext to defend themselves..

"No, I don't. I'll go."

Medea shook her head.

"Your Highness, but..."

Terence expressed his displeasure, but Medea's eyes did not waver.

"You know that if you don't do something about it now, they'll keep coming back for you."

All the attention of the empire is now focused on the First Prince.

"Then I will accompany you."

Gallo shrugged.

"The Prince's faction is nominally under the Emperor, but is our Fasade like that?"

You are a continental arms dealer, so how can you bow down to the Emperor of the Empire?

At Gallo's words, Terence nodded reluctantly.

"Alpha, summon all the mercenary troops on the Facade. I will take Her Highness to the Imperial Palace."

"Yes, Mr. Gallo."

They moved in unison and scattered. War clouds hovered over the palace.

And, the bedroom where everyone has left.

In the darkness full of silence.

Cesare's index finger, with his eyes closed, wriggled and moved.
