    =================

    Again.

    It’s another nightmare.

    Entering the red-filled space, the villainess let out a heavy sigh.

    When I first stepped into the world of nightmares, I was scared, but now it’s different. Since I had been having recurring nightmares for several days, I started to feel calm.

    “What else did you want to say today that I called you for?”

    As I took a step, a puddle of blood covered my calf. Elisabetta crossed the puddle, kicking away at the numerous skeletons, and eventually came face to face with the owner of the nightmare.

    -You’re short-tempered. I just opened my eyes now.

    Luscious blonde hair that goes down to the buttocks.

    Bright red eyes that look like blood has hardened.

    Ice-pale skin and a pitch-black evening dress reminiscent of mourning clothes.

    Elizabeth frowned at the nightmare being that materialized in her own image. This was because the appearance was so similar that it gave me goosebumps, causing me to feel disgust.

    -It looks like you had a pleasant day today. On the contrary, Jim had the worst day.

    Jae-eok, who had the appearance of a villainess, stretched out her hand.

    Then, a black butterfly fluttering around landed in my soft hand.

    “Why do you always look the same as me? I feel bad.”

    -It’s just Jim’s preference. The Demon Lord of Death who bestowed godhood was an ugly, ugly man. That’s why this time, I wanted to try something different and transform into a peerless beauty.

    “A peerless beauty… . It’s not wrong. Because all the ugly girls in the world are jealous of my beauty.”

    -I admit it, beautiful girl.

    There was absolutely no hostility.

    It went smoothly, like meeting a friend with the same personality.

    Elizabeth knew that the being in front of her was an ominous disaster god who denied life. However, despite this, he showed a bold side by continuing the conversation with the God of Disaster.

    -You’ve probably figured it out by now. Jim is a disaster god who denies the world of one god.

    “Yes. Since I invited you to this crazy space… Of course, you are probably not in your right mind either.”

    -The reason why Jim intentionally invited you to the space of death is simple. I want you to temporarily relinquish control of your body.

    “… That’s funny. Do you think I’ll just hand it over?”

    Was he already seeing clearly into my inner thoughts?

    The being imitating the princess revealed his purpose in a calm voice.

    The initiative of the body.

    There was no way Elizabeth didn’t know the meaning contained in it.

    The intention is probably to take away their bodies like when Banpoon, who created the Ruinongs, possessed them at will. Because she had already experienced it, Elisabetta swallowed dryly and was wary of the presence in front of her.

    ‘If he is a disaster god who is a symbol of evil, he will of course unilaterally steal the body, but he will not meekly be taken away by an unidentified evil spirit… !’

    I held my hand tightly.

    And he glared at the ominous godhead with sharp eyes.

    -Don’t worry, beautiful girl. The person I am now is just a helpless afterimage. There is no power to take your body or corrupt your pure soul.

    “… … .”

    -Moreover, if you activate your divine power in the world of images, you will be discovered by tyranny and starvation. Somehow, I am now in contact with you with the help of war… Unfortunately, it is a crippled body that cannot exert influence.

    “You mean Ethan, your older sister, and the first saint… ?”

    ah.

    Have you finally realized it?

    As Elisabeta let out a heavy sigh, the elixir of death burst into laughter.

    -I will grant you the honor of accepting my burden. It wouldn’t be a bad story for you either, right? The man you love, the sister you respect… . And even the enemies who seem like a thorn in one’s eyes are all vessels of innocent misfortune! If you accept Jim’s merciful offer, you too can join them.

    “… … .”

    Wouldn’t you just be playing the pitiful role of waiting anxiously for the results every time?

    If you accept the burden, you can fight alongside them.

    Don’t you want to protect the man you love?

    He must have wanted to be a source of strength to his respected older sister.

    Elizabeth felt helpless as she was always protected by her older sister and Edenant. And she even harbored a sense of inferiority towards herself for not being able to be of any help to her sister and Edanant.

    There was no way the fortune of death did not know that.

    The ominous ash that denied life stretched out both hands and whispered sweetly to Elizabeth. If he continued to stimulate feelings of helplessness and inferiority, he would undoubtedly hand over control of his body.

    “Where do you sell drugs!”

    -… what?

    The expectations were far from over.

    At Elisabetta’s command, the ruler of death looked dumbfounded.

    “No matter how crazy I am, I won’t hand myself over to a ghost or something! I understand the dark intention of taking the beautiful female body known as the most beautiful woman in the empire, but I have no intention of handing her over easily! How much effort have I put into maintaining this body! There is only one person in the world I will allow my body to! Do you understand?!”

    -… … .

    The feeling that broke the sense of helplessness and inferiority that penetrated my heart was self-love.

    Extreme narcissism.

    It is a princess disease that comes from the innate self-reliant nature of an infant and the blessed environment of the imperial family.

    This girl is not normal.

    It was natural for the fortune of death to evaluate Elisabeta that way.

    * * *

    A low voice was heard.

    And then I felt a hand shaking my body.

    Edanant.

    It was definitely his voice and his hands.

    “Uh, yeah… . Ethan?”

    “Are you okay? I guess you had a nightmare.”

    A cool breeze tickling my forehead.

    Countless tree branches cover the sky like a roof.

    Elisabetta finally realized that she had enjoyed taking a nap under the lush trees. Next to the villainess, the Ruinongs, including Lue, were still sleeping with their nostrils fluttering.

    “It is now late fall. What are you going to do if you catch a cold?”

    “The sun was very warm today. So I enjoyed taking a nap with the Ruinongs.”

    “If Her Majesty Ludmila finds out, she will definitely scold you.”

    “Ugh, I don’t like that.”

    Edanant chuckled and picked up the yellow leaf that had landed on Elisabetta’s forehead. In response, Elizabeth leaned against Edenant.

    It’s just the two of us.

    That’s why I took a bold approach.

    There were Ruinongs sleeping comfortably right next to me, but I treated them as mere background.

    “I mean Ethan. What if I… What will you do if it’s not me?”

    “This is such a random statement.”

    “There was a case where I was forcibly possessed by a clumsy goddess. What if I get possessed like that time? Suddenly, a pointless worry occurred to me.”

    “Hmm.”

    This is a difficult question to answer directly.

    I swallowed my sleep for a moment, lost in thought.

    But eventually, he answered with action as he hugged the villainess with both hands.

    “I will ask for it again and again. Isn’t it a warrior’s mission to guard a pretty princess?”

    “No, of course… ! I said something useless! Edanant always saved me!”

    Elizabeth’s face instantly heated up at Edanant’s straight answer, which was close to standard. It was as if he had never expected to confess so directly.

    Since you have proven your loyalty, you should be rewarded.

    Elizabeth, who was in her arms, stretched out her head and gave Edenant a quick kiss.

    The kiss wasn’t long.

    He only indulged his lips like a bird pecking its beak.

    As Edenant stared quietly, Elisabetta, unable to bear her shame, turned her head. I took a deep breath, worried that I might hear the sound of my heart pounding frivolously.

    “Now I have to wake up Ruinong too.”

    “It won’t be easy. Ruinongs who started sleeping soundly do not know who carries them.”

    “I have my own method.”

    “Huh?”

    As the particles of ash dispersed, a musket appeared.

    At the same time, the musket aimed into the air spewed fire and let out a sharp gunshot.

    Taang-!

    As soon as the gunshot rang out, Ruinong, who had been sleeping soundly, woke up panting.

    “Boo, it’s fire!”

    “Buheugh?! It’s lightning! Lightning struck!”

    Elisabetta looked at Edenant with a look of disgust at the sight of the Louisans suddenly getting up and going crazy. I let out a heavy sigh at the violence without the slightest consideration.

    Nevertheless, Edanant seemed unconcerned.

    “It’s almost evening time. Come back quickly, pretty princess.”

    “First, we need to calm down the Ruinongs! I really can’t survive!”

    Like a flock of sheep startled by lightning, the Ruinongs were busy running about in an orderly manner. In response, Elisabeta, along with Lue, comforted the Ruinongs and lined them up in an orderly manner.

    Edanant, who was looking at a scene he would see at a daycare center, smiled and turned his head.

    ‘What did you do to Elizabeth?’

    -well. I don’t know.

    As he extended his grip, particles of ash were released.

    Then, the particles of ash shook loudly, and at the same time, the voice of the God of Disaster was heard.

    ‘You invited death. ‘Did you think I wouldn’t know until the end?’

    -Anyway, it’s sharp.

    He fired back in a sharp voice, as if interrogating a criminal.

    In Edanant’s confident words, he readily acknowledged that the misfortune of war was a dark story.
