Agnes Levadeine was a sickly woman.

It could be said that the reason was the magic flower Exrias that had taken root in her heart, but even without that, it was like that.

From the moment Agnes came out of her mother’s womb, she had never been sickly.

As a child, she could not walk more than 30 minutes.

It was because of my heart, which broke down even if the beat was slowed down even a little.

Even though I was in a place where I could eat all kinds of delicacies, I couldn’t eat anything.

This is because her stomach was so sensitive that it could not accept spicy food.

Above all, I couldn’t stand in the sun for long.

Her pale, white skin was not strong enough to withstand the blazing heat of the sun.

He was born weak.

In return for giving her breathtaking beauty, God took away her health.

That’s why it was pitiful.

So it was a bird in a cage.

Agnes Levadeine was a woman who could be described as a beautifully sculpted piece of glasswork.

It was a truly unfortunate fact, but it was Agnes herself who knew this best.

She knew she didn’t have a body to live long.

It is perhaps natural that she, who grew up nourished by sympathy instead of love, became an inorganic person.

She was insensitive to everything.

To be precise, he was a person who could not get lost in anything.

Agnes was scared of herself and tried to cling to something, but it wasn’t easy.

Going to a fancy ballroom, the delicacies of the mountains and seas that she gorged on even though she knew she would vomit, and travel destinations filled with all kinds of exquisite scenery could not satisfy her feelings.

The few outings she had had brought her nothing special.

One was the acceleration of death, and the other was words praising her beauty.

She became ‘everyone’s first love’ after only seven outings.

[Agnes Levadeine may be the most beautiful woman in the history of the continent.]

Such a compliment was at some point transformed into an absolute proposition.

However, this also did not satisfy her sentiments.

Agnes just waited to die.

There was no fear of it, no curiosity about the afterlife, and no desire for the rest of life.

Deltan Hebron was a man who appeared in the midst of all this.

“Mahwa Exrias. This is the name of this disease. No, should I call it a curse?”

The only man who figured out the cause of death that accelerated at some point.

An infinitely arrogant and great man.

Agnes became interested in him on the seventh day when he attempted the cursed week.

“Don’t you give up?”

“I don’t.”

“Why?”

“I’m a person who doesn’t know failure.”

That was the day I learned that the reason he was so obsessed with a life that was not his was because of his pride.

Agnes felt an unfamiliar shock.

I felt the indescribable light of life in the burning eyes that declared success.

It was the first ‘beauty’ Agnes Levadeine felt in her life.

That was why Agnes provoked the Deltans.

“Fail again.”

In order to finally burn up the beauty I witnessed even more splendidly.

To feel the heat that blooms more intensely than anything else the moment your pride is hurt.

Agnes found joy.

Although she still had no regrets about life, it was very pleasant for her that she did not get bored along the way.

… It was like that until today.

For Agnes, today was a day when she really did not like Anya’s bright smile when she talked about the Delta man who had been hiding for three days, and because of that, her mood sank to the lowest level.

It was not a happy day when the Deltans finally showed up and kicked Anya out in a haggard manner.

“Hey, take it off.”

Until you say that.

“… Did I hear wrong?”

“No, you heard correctly. I’m going to touch your body. The area of the ribs below the left breast. You have to reach there with your hand.”

The life of the Deltan who uttered those words was burning so splendidly.

The golden eyes that seemed to have the sun in them were shining more dazzlingly than ever.

This was such a strong stimulus to Agnes.

So she followed his words as if fascinated.

It was a more intense feeling than joy.

Agnes decided that the word ‘joy’ should be used to express this feeling.

It was like that.

Everything was joy.

The way he mindlessly unbuttons the buttons, touches my bare skin without hesitation, and injects mana while giggling.

The burning pain throughout my body that followed.

The feeling of floating in an accident comes to mind and I am out of breath.

Agnes, who endured it with frowning eyes, learned a new emotion that overshadowed the joy she had felt until the day before.

“I told you.”

My body became lighter.

The body, which had always been deteriorating, turned back toward life for the first time.

My chest felt a little tight, but more than that, the renewed vitality awakened my senses even more clearly.

“I may make mistakes, but I don’t fail.”

The life of the man who did it burned so brightly that it was blinding.

Agnes thought.

He would truly be a man close to the essence of the concept of life.

Red hair reminiscent of a blazing fire, golden eyes that look like the sun, and a bright smile that doesn’t hide her emotions.

That all the elements that make up him, including that, are in contact with the concept of life.

Agnes felt her heart sink.

He now had the most beautiful appearance that Agnes had ever seen in her life.

It was different from admiration or awe.

The moment Agnes saw that smile, she simply stretched out her hand and grabbed it.

I swept my index finger under the eyes of Hebron the Deltan.

Even though he had dark circles, his eyes were brilliant.

Even though his expression was frozen and blank, he was dazzling.

“Pretty.”

Agnes thirsted for it.

As I faced this burning life, I felt like my insides were dry.

Agnes, who had never faced the sun before, faced the sun for the first time in her life at this moment.

My heart was pounding and my breathing became difficult.

Some would say this was love, but Agnes thought differently.

‘no.’

It wasn’t that lukewarm feeling.

The emotions that were running wild out of control right now weren’t that cozy kind.

‘want to have.’

I wanted to have this life.

I wanted to make it my own.

It wasn’t just a desire to be with him or to capture him.

Agnes’ life was too short and insignificant for that to happen.

Hebron the Deltan is a great hero.

He is a demigod blessed with all the mana in the world.

He would continue this brilliant life for a time unimaginable by human standards.

What Agnes wanted was to dominate everything in his long life.

Agnes wanted to stigmatize herself.

A stigma that will not be erased from his heart even after his insignificant body turns to dust.

Thus, a chain that will bind him for the rest of his life.

The master who puts his life at his feet.

“… What are you doing?”

I wanted to be the only truth that this arrogant man looked up to.

“Pretty. Very.”

Agnes laughed.

At that sight, Deltan jumped up, feeling dizzy for some reason.

His face was indescribably bright red.

“… I’m going because it’s late. I’m just going to sleep for a few days, so don’t wait.”

He said that and left the room.

However, Agnes was busy savoring the heat that still remained at her fingertips.

‘I want it.’

Agnes awakened feelings that she had never understood before.

An obsession that comes from wanting something.

I realized the feeling that I had always snorted and ignored.

Agnes was still indifferent to her humble life.

He was indifferent to all the movies he enjoyed.

However, now there is something I cannot be indifferent to.

Agnes placed the thumb that had been brushing the area around Deltan’s eyes just a moment ago to the corner of his mouth.

And smiled.

‘I want it.’

Agnes wanted the eternal love of Hebron, the Delta, not everyone’s first love.

To do that, there was something I had to do first.

“Lady… ?”

Anya came in through the carefully opened door.

*

Anya Willink was an ordinary woman.

The appearance, the abilities, and the family.

The reason she became Agnes Levadein’s personal attendant was purely because her father had been loyal to Duke Levadein for a long time.

Anya was in a position that ordinary people could not even dream of, but for her, it was like a curse.

Unlike Anya, who was ordinary, the Agnes she had to serve was special.

Agnes Levadeine is beautiful, pitiful, and supreme.

Anya Willink has been with her since she was very young.

That’s why Anya Willink mistakenly thought she was special.

Knowing her subject and status, Anya Willink was not a very intelligent woman.

Anya decided that she could have everything that Agnes had.

Although she didn’t reach out directly, she was able to prove her feelings by collecting the things she had thrown away since childhood and using them as her own.

Perhaps even the vain delusion of trying to fulfill one’s love for Hebron, the Delta, was an extension of that past.

It occurred to me that if Agnes passed away, the empty spot might become mine.

That’s why Anya was embarrassed.

The moaning that was heard from inside the room he was kicked out of.

After the incident subsided, Deltan left with a bright red face.

And then Agnes enters the room, smiling with her top off.

“Lady… ?”

Agnes’ eyes turned to Anya.

Anya felt her heart sink.

More than anything else, it was because there was a gorgeous smile on her face that she had never seen before in her ten years of life.

“Anya, would you like to come here?”

Anya felt uneasy.

It resembled the instinctive fear that an intelligent body feels toward the unknown.

However, I couldn’t run away.

Even as Anya, who wasn’t very smart, she knew that Agnes’ orders were absolute.

“Yes, yes… .”

“Right.”

Agnes gently hugged Anya as she approached her.

And he spoke in a voice that had not yet lost its laughter.

“How was Delta?”

“ went… .”

“What is your face?”

“A little… You seemed embarrassed.”

“Really?”

Agnes’s smile deepened.

Anya felt her body tremble slightly at that.

“Hey.”

“Yes… .”

“I really like you.”

Agnes’ hand brushed the back of Anya’s head.

“It’s cute. He works busily all day long, knows how to be happy about even the smallest things, and listens carefully to what I say.”

“Thank you… .”

“That’s why I pretended not to notice.”

Rattling-.

Anya’s body stiffened.

Agnes was still smiling happily.

“Collecting the things I threw away, thinking of them as yours, and waiting to see when I will throw them away.”

Agnes was talking about Anya’s deviation.

At that, Anya felt her tongue go dry.

I had to make an excuse.

No, I had to explain.

At that thought, Agnes’ mouth opened before Anya did.

Agnes quietly whispered in Anya’s ear.

“Still, I can’t be a Delta person.”

The color disappeared from Anya’s face.

Agnes released the hug.

Then, while holding Anya’s cheeks, he made eye contact with her.

“I won’t give it to Delta. While I live and even after I die.”

Agnes was smiling.

However, it was still dull.

The shadow of death that was always encroaching on her was something that could not be removed by just slowing down the growth of the demon flower.

“Anya, there is a good spot in our territory. They are hiring a new head maid there, and it seems like they are looking for a young person who can be used for a long time this time. But what? There is a young and experienced maid in front of me? I was worried about how to repay you, but didn’t it work out so well?”

Anya’s body trembled.

That’s because there was something that came to mind in Agnes’ dark, yet flawlessly beautiful smile.

“Thank you for helping me on days like this. I’m happy baby.”

She infinitely resembles death.

She was truly a woman with the perfect combination of fear and beauty.

Anya didn’t think for long.

“… Yes.”

Not being smart does not necessarily mean being stupid.

Anya simply nodded and expressed gratitude for the mercy she was being shown.
