episode_0029

It’s not like I’ve never killed anyone.

No. Rather, you could say that I’ve killed quite a few.

When I was in Drax.

People who approach me with sexual gazes.

I have been using my powers on them without mercy.

I’d be lying if I said I didn’t feel anything while killing them.

Every time that happened, I always thought to myself:

These people are criminals.

Those who tried to rape me.

They are people who are worth dying for.

One. Two. The more blood there is on my hands.

I no longer hesitate to kill people.

Maybe I unconsciously thought that this was a world in a novel and that they were puppets with strings.

I had become so accustomed to killing people that I thought my aversion to killing had completely disappeared.

But it wasn’t.

“…Ah..”

Before my eyes was a man who could have lost his life at any moment, lying on the ground.

He accepted my unreasonable request to suddenly apply for a duel.

A person who respected me from beginning to end.

I didn’t want to believe that his injury was my fault.

But it seems like it wasn’t a dream.

The eerie sensation of my hand piercing his chest was still vivid in my mind, making it impossible for me to deny reality.

dump-

My legs gave out and I fell to the ground.

I thought I was going crazy.

I was so scared that the man would die like this.

“Ba..method..”

I thought about the contents of the novel, hoping that there might be a solution there.

But no matter how much I recalled the knowledge from the original story, there was no way to save that man now.

how.

What should I do?

The therapist said he was coming.

But can an injury of that level really be treated?

What if you’re a priest?

No. I’ll die before I get to church.

What about the potion?

It won’t be of any use unless you bring some elixir.

I look at him with trembling eyes.

The amount of blood he had spilled on the ground had long since exceeded its limit.

In my head I knew it was already too late.

My heart didn’t want to accept this fact.

In the midst of my heart gradually becoming darker and darker-.

The hand of salvation has come down.

“What’s all this noise?”

A familiar voice came from behind.

Her voice, which I had never wanted to encounter before, but which I desperately needed now.

Maybe the only one here who can save that man.

When I looked back, I saw her.

She approaches, surrounded by a splendidly shining golden mana.

“Hera..you..”

She looked at me with her eyes wide open.

I ran over to her without hesitation, grabbed her by the hem of her clothes, and begged her earnestly.

“Ah..Athena! Please save that person..”

But it seemed as if she hadn’t heard my request. She had an angry expression on her face.

“You…who did this?”

She put her hand on my cheek and spoke in a low, quiet voice.

“What..what..?”

◦@What kind of fuck to eat.

Without even looking at the man who was slowly dying.

Her gaze was fixed solely on me.

“That’s not important right now..!”

“This is the most important. Tell me quickly. Who said that? ”

I couldn’t understand her.

What’s the big deal about getting slapped when a person is dying?

I said, holding her hand tightly in urgency.

“Please Athena..! Please…urgent..”

She looked at me for a moment without saying anything.

After taking a deep breath, she turned away from me and walked towards the man.

My heart was pounding.

If she couldn’t solve it either, then there was no more hope.

Athena approached the man.

After placing his hands on his body, he closed his eyes and chanted something.

Then, in an instant, the blood stopped flowing from the man’s body.

“My lord..! Can you save me?”

The Knight Commander approached Athena from behind and asked cautiously.

“No. I can’t live.”

Kuung-

Her words made my heart drop to the floor.

“Huh..if that’s okay..”

“I’ll take you to the temple right now. You’ll need to get treatment there.”

“…! Thank you, my lord..!”

Athena glanced at the grateful captain, then wrapped the fallen man in her mana.

“Ah.”

“I’ll give you a warning.”

As soon as she finished speaking, an indescribable sense of oppression spread around her.

“”…!””

Athena points at me with a murderous expression.

“Anyone who touches that child carelessly from now on. Be careful, I will give you a pain worse than death.”

The surrounding knights were suffering under the weight of her energy.

He continued speaking, tapping the shoulder of the knight commander who was kneeling on the floor.

“Then. Should I ask you to clean up?”

Then Athena disappears with the man.

As soon as she disappeared, the ominous aura that had been weighing on everyone disappeared in an instant.

And what remains is.

It was a silence so cold it was almost chilling.

.

.

.

– Since it is your lord’s order, I will pass it over. I hope you won’t come to our knights in the future.

Kkadak-

A bed that is too big for one person to use alone.

I was sitting on the bed biting my fingernails.

It’s been three hours since she left.

Instead of calming down, my heart was burning even more.

‘You’ll be fine. There’s a saint in the temple.’

A saint with a unique ability called the magic of healing.

She had powers so powerful that no healer could match them.

The ability to cure almost any disease except death.

Maybe she could save him.

But I was still anxious.

If the saint is not present.

Or if you are still young and cannot use your abilities properly.

All kinds of negative thoughts were eating away at my mind.

I bit my nails so hard that I could taste blood in my mouth.

There was a knock on the door.

– Hera. I’m here.

At her words, I jumped out of bed and opened the door.

As I opened the door with a start, I saw her smiling at me.

“It’s not bad to be greeted like this.”

“That… that person… is okay?”

But when she looked at my face, she had a somewhat grumpy expression on her face.

“What do you think?”

“I’m not in the mood to joke around!!”

When I yelled at her, she just laughed and-

After pushing me into the room, he followed me in and locked the door.

“I’m okay. I’m resting after receiving treatment at the temple.”

“Ahhh..”

thank god.

I’m so glad.

All the anxiety and nervousness that had been building up over time was replaced with a sense of relief.

The sudden change in emotions made my body lose strength and stagger.

Athena wrapped her hands around my waist and pulled me toward her.

Before I could say anything, he covered my mouth with his.

“Huh?!”

She kisses me so naturally.

Chuuup-chook-

The sound of their lips violently colliding with each other filled the room.

“Ugh…huh?!..”

But I was surprised by her sudden kiss.

All the strength left my body, and I was unable to reject her, so I ended up accepting her.

Then Athena grabbed my waist with both hands and pulled me closer to her body.

Her and my hearts, crushed to the point where we couldn’t recognize each other, were crushed against each other.

It seemed as if the sound of her heartbeat was transmitted to me through our touching chests.

Normally I would have pushed her away.

Was it because he felt grateful to Athena for healing him?

I felt like I wanted to repay her in some way. I opened my mouth wide so that she could move a little more comfortably.

Then Athena opened her eyes wide for a moment, then immediately put her tongue into my mouth.

“Sigh…ugh…”

Churp- churp

Her tongue began licking every part of my mouth.

My teeth, gums, lips, they were all soaking wet with her saliva.

Her dizzying lip movements made me feel dizzy. It felt like I was walking in a dream.

How much must he have lusted after her?

She slowly pulled her lips away from mine.

Then, as if we would not let go of each other, the thread connecting her and my saliva became sticky.

“Haa..hah..Athena..”

“Wow..I’m going crazy.”

She was looking at me. Her face looked like she was enduring something.

Coming to my senses again, I took a step back from her and spoke cautiously.

“..thank you..”

“Huh?”

“Thank you for treating that person..”

If that person had died, he would have suffered from tremendous guilt.

But thanks to Athena, he was saved.

Let me thank her.

She looked at me with a devilish expression on her face.

“Just in words?”

“Ugh..you kissed me..”

“Isn’t kissing something you do every day?”

I felt annoyed again when she told me what was so great about girls kissing.

“…Is there anything you want?”

She nodded immediately, as if she had asked the right question.

Then he pointed at me with his finger and said:

“Take it off.”

.

.

.

An hour ago.

The Great Hall of the Empire.

A girl with pure white hair approached her.

“Athena! The treatment was completed safely.”

Athena patted the girl’s head as she spoke with a bright smile.

“Thank you. Can I come and visit you?”

“Hmm… I think it’s better to take it easy for the time being. But if it’s Athena, then there’s no problem. This way.”

Well then, I’ll be going now!

After finishing the guidance, the girl disappeared with quick steps.

As Athena opened the door and went in, she found him lying on the bed.

He tried to get up with great difficulty, but unfortunately his body did not allow it, so he could only struggle.

“It’s okay. You can be comfortable.”

“…Thank you, my lord.”

Dylan was looking at Athena with a somewhat unpleasant expression.

“It will take at least 3 weeks for everything to heal. In the meantime, you can rest here.”

“…..”

“I came to check on you. You seem okay.”

Athena turned her gaze away from him and headed back out the door.

“My lord, I have something to ask you.”

Dylan stopped Athena from leaving, wondering if he had something to say to her.

“What is it?”

Dylan was uneasy about that blank smile.

It was clearly an expression I had seen before, but I didn’t know why it felt so uncomfortable now.

“….Before a hole was drilled in my heart. I saw it.”

But even with the anxiety rising inside him, he felt he had to know.

“This…is it something that you, my lord, did?”

A moment of silence.

Before she knew it, the smile had disappeared from Athena’s face, and only a cold face remained.

Dylan swallowed with an inexplicable tension.

Athena approached him quietly and spoke.

“It seems like it will be difficult to return to the Knights.”

“…Why..!”

Before the man could finish speaking, a sharp-shaped golden mana suddenly shot up before his eyes.

“I’ll spare your life. But I’ve benefited greatly from your help.”

“….”

“Instead. I hope you won’t come near Hera in the future.”

Athena looked at him with emotionless eyes and threatened him.

“For the safety of you and your wife.”

“…..I think I’ve been serving my master poorly.”

“Phew. When did I ask you to serve me?”

Athena shrugged, as if completely oblivious to Dylan’s words.

“Expect things as you please. Disappoint things as you please. You guys are always being selfish.”

“…What are you going to do with that woman?”

As if she didn’t want to hear any more, Athena grabbed Dylan’s neck tightly.

“Cough!”

“If you cross this line, I won’t tolerate it anymore. Do you understand?”

If it was only my own life, I wouldn’t care, but my wife’s safety was also threatened.

As Dylan nodded in resignation, Athena released his hands from around his neck.

“Thank you for your hard work. In return, I will send you enough retirement money so that you will never run out.”

With those final words, Athena leaves.

Dylan gripped the blanket tightly.

So only a quiet silence remained in the room.
