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

I can’t sleep.

There was no way I could sleep.

Elizabeth looked at Edenant lying side by side with nervous eyes.

Thump thump thump-.

My heart was pounding as if it would explode at any moment.

Could it be possible to hear a beating?

Because Edanant was a strong man who transcended human limitations, there was no way he could not hear his heartbeat, which sounded like a woodpecker pounding on a tree. So, I tried to calm my heart by suppressing the constantly surging emotions.

“Can’t sleep?”

“Well, well… ! I guess I drank too much black tea!”

A bedroom filled with quiet silence.

When all I could hear was the sound of cute Ruinong snoring,

Elizabeth, who was shaking her blanket and shaking her body, heard Edanant’s low voice.

“This will be your first time sleeping with a man outside of your home. Or have you ever slept with someone of the opposite sex?”

“It’s natural that there isn’t one! Me, me… You’re not treating me like a prostitute, right?!”

There is no way that a villainous girl who is famous for being stubborn and rambunctious would have any experience in dating.

Edenant smiled slightly at Elisabeta’s sharp voice.

“Is that possible? I just thought she was a divorcee whose engagement was canceled before marriage.”

“Hiik!!”

Without the slightest hesitation, he touched the evil spirit of the villainess.

In response, Elisabeta kicked off the blanket, stretched out her slender legs, and kicked Edanant.

puck!

Wow!

I kept hearing the sound of banging on the blanket.

Rue, who had been sleeping soundly, frowned as the bed shook due to Elisabetta’s reckless movements. On the other hand, Edanant, who was being kicked, burst out laughing.

The atmosphere, which had been tense and awkward, suddenly turned into a noisy school trip.

Elizaveta, who was kicking her feet, eventually got tired and roughly covered herself with the blanket. It seemed like the practical joke had hit the villainess head on.

“Sorry. It was a simple joke.”

“Shut up!”

“Do you really think I would slander Princess Elizabeth, who is famous for being the most beautiful woman in the empire? The princess’s beautiful appearance is comparable to the dazzling sun and the gentle full moon.”

“Kuhm… ! Well, I understand!”

Elisabetta was just like her older sister, Ludmilla.

I hate flattery.

I also don’t like candy spreads.

Because it was a compliment from a man she truly loved, she was happy like a child. As Edenant praised her beauty using a mixture of rhetoric, Elisabetta burst into laughter, half covering herself with a blanket.

“You seem to have relaxed now.”

“Ta, you’ve never been particularly nervous?”

Elizabeth stammered hurriedly, wondering if she might have been caught grinning like a penny-pincher.

Fortunately, it didn’t seem like they were caught.

The only thing that illuminates the bedroom is the soft light coming from the lamp on the desk.

Elisabetta seemed to have completely relaxed, turning her shoulders to face Edanant. It was very cute to see him bursting into laughter while hugging a soft pillow with both hands.

“Edanant. What did you like about your sister?”

“Hmm… . well. At first, I fell in love with his dignified and sincere appearance. One by one, I fell in love with Her Highness Ludmilla’s charms, and at some point, I could only see Her Highness Ludmilla.”

“But Edenant also likes the saint.”

“I have several ideal types.”

It was a confident voice without any hesitation.

I never thought I could say so proudly the fact that I am crossing my legs.

What are you going to do if your sister catches you? .

Elizabeth sighed at Edanant’s shameless answer, but smiled faintly.

The answer that there are multiple ideal types means that I also have a chance. That’s why I looked at Edanant endlessly, feeling a glimmer of hope. The sight of Edanant bathed in the soft glow of the lamp was so beautiful that it made my heart flutter.

“Ugh… !”

Edenant stretched out his hand and stroked Elisabetta’s lovely hair. It was a hand that seemed to be trying to soothe a whining child.

The warmth contained in the soft touch was conveyed. Every time she slowly stroked her hair, Elisabetta felt her eyelids becoming heavier and heavier.

“Edanant is… Are you going to get married to your sister next spring?”

“That will happen.”

“Yes… . Because Edanant and her sister truly love each other… I know. So I sincerely hoped that Edanant and my sister would come to fruition.”

“Thank you.”

Is it because of the drowsiness that comes with it?

Or is it because of the comfort of my whole body sinking into the water?

Elizabeth blinked her eyes and brought out the emotions she had been keeping in her heart.

“But strangely… My heart aches every time I see Edanant and her sister happy.”

“… … .”

“I’m happy, but it hurts. Isn’t it strange? I should be happy, but my heart feels heavy. So I don’t know what to do.”

“… Your Majesty.”

I felt a lump created by the mixing of various emotions. It was clearly a sadness that had been suppressed and suffered for a long time.

Edanant guessed him and let out a heavy sigh. Then, he slowly lowered his hand that had been stroking her lovely hair and glanced at Elisabetta’s pure white cheeks.

Both eyes were half closed.

Elizabeth slowly fell into sleep as she accepted the warm touch.

* * *

A hand caressing your cheek.

Soft pillows and bed sheets.

And the smell of gunpowder gently stimulates the sense of smell.

Elisabetta entrusted her mind to the demon, enjoying a sweet happiness that she felt was undeserved.

.

.

.

.

A space dotted with red unfolded.

Elizabeth, who witnessed him, immediately realized that it was a dream.

It is a sight that cannot be real.

I entered a place that seemed to embody a nightmare in the most brutal way possible.

‘how… ‘What on earth is this?’

A large amount of blood formed a huge puddle like a reservoir.

And numerous skeletons were left half-filled with blood.

Butterflies were flying.

As if indulging in the sweet scent of a flower garden, I walked through Hyeolcheon (血川), filled with the scent of blood.

Is this what hell is like, where heinous sinners are judged?

It’s not just a nightmare.

This was close to hell.

As soon as I fell into sleep, as if drawn by powerful magic, I reached an area overflowing with evil ominousness. Elisabeta must have felt afraid and tried her best to wake up quickly.

‘Kuh, it’s not even budging…’ .’

But it was impossible.

My will to wake up from the terrible nightmare was consumed by the lucid dream.

As if to comfort Elisabeta, numerous black and red butterflies fluttered in. As Elisabeta lifted her pure white hand, a red butterfly landed gently.

Sigh-.

Eventually, as if possessed by something, I stuck my foot in a pool of blood.

And, following the flying butterflies, he crossed the pool of blood and went deeper into the depths.

‘person?’

How long did it take to walk?

I saw a thin silhouette sitting in a puddle of sticky blood.

Lovely blonde hair soaked in blood.

A mesmerizing body with dwarf shoulders and a bewitching charm.

She was wearing a black evening dress like a widow who had lost her husband. The pure white skin and black evening dress created a contrasting charm. Elizaveta, who was slowly looking behind her, continued to take steps and approached the silhouette.

‘… … !’

I lost my footing.

This was because I saw the identity of the silhouette with my own eyes.

-Welcome to Jim’s garden, beautiful maiden.

Skin so white that it feels pale.

Red eyes shining like a will-o’-the-wisp.

And the extreme cold that seems to freeze even the soul.

‘Death’, who projected the appearance of a beautiful villainess, contacted Elisabetta through dreams.

* * *

What brought Elizabeth out of her dream was a child’s cries and angry cries.

It was Lue and Edanant’s voice.

He’s also sincere.

How can you be so energetic in the morning?

The villainess, with her lovely blond hair down, slowly got up while yawning leisurely.

“That’s why I told you to go to the bathroom first! You drew a map of the world with urine!”

“Ugh… ! Ugh! Well, but… !”

“Go to the next town and get some salt!”

“Huh!!”

Blankets and bed sheets hanging on the laundry rack.

That alone was enough to guess the situation.

Elizabeth quickly woke up after seeing that the blanket and bed sheet she had covered with Edanant last night had been replaced. I looked at my pajamas anxiously to see if they had Ruinong’s lemonade on them.

“Lue drew a map on the blanket!”

“Pohang Port! Jang Berger Ruinong already graduated from peeing a long time ago!”

The Ruinongs who heard the commotion held each other’s hands and walked around the laundry rack where blankets and bed sheets were hung. Then Lue’s cries became more intense.

I’m sure the disaster occurred because I hesitated to go to the bathroom because of the ghost story I heard last night.

Elizabeth sighed deeply and looked at Edenant and Lue.

‘I feel like I’ve been through some strange nightmare… . My memory is blurry. Could it have been a dream that Edanant threw away, saying he didn’t want to go to a used market? execution! No matter how much it is a dream, it is the death penalty!’

The villainess who was looking outside through the window took a step forward.

It was to mediate the fight between Hanryang’s husband-to-be and his childish daughter.
