“···Are you awake?”

I hear Shir’s voice in my ear.

“···When did you wake up?”

“You woke up.”

Are you saying I woke him up?

Shirga is lying on the right, and Lexi is lying on the left.

Lexi seems to have woken up as well, wrapping her hands tightly around my side and letting out the stale breath in her lungs.

“······I don’t want to go.”

Shir laughs softly at Lexi’s complaints.

It seemed like a rare sight. Lexi gently scratches my side with the corners of her mouth raised.

The problem was Anne.

‘He was watching very openly.’

This person is lying by my bed, sleeping peacefully. Now I had no idea what to excuse.

When the two of them went out to run errands, I needed to give them firm advice.

“Then don’t go.”

“I was away for two days. I have to go. Let’s continue the rest tonight. Don’t put off any more things you need to do today. Let’s wash.”

“Yes…”

Shir stretches and answers lazily.

I got up like that and fell down on the bed again.

Fuuuuk─

“Ugh···.”

A white hand pulls me in.

As I was pulled into Shir’s arms without much resistance, a soft chest touched the back of my head.

It’s amazing to see how he doesn’t want to be separated from me even for a moment.

“···How have you been while I was gone?”

“I lived only looking at you.”

It’s a gurgling sound.

“Then you should have caught him so he couldn’t leave.”

“I wanted to do that.”

“Why didn’t you do that?”

To be honest, I was quite heartbroken when Shir didn’t show up on the day I left. Did he read my feelings?

Kkook─

Shir hugs me tightly.

“···Remember? When you went to the hunting festival with your aunt. When I saw you were nervous, I thought it was clear that your aunt was planning to do something to you, so I followed her.”

After the hunting festival ended, I immediately met Lexi.

“I didn’t say it, but I knew you were lying. It’s just… I was deceived even though I knew it. I didn’t want to see me in trouble. ···I didn’t want my relationship with my aunt or my life to be ruined.”

···You knew everything.

“There’s no way I don’t know about you. Anyway… seeing you being taken over by your aunt made me jealous… I know what you did with my mom.”

“────────────────────────?!!!!!!!”

flinch!

A chill ran through me at the sight.

‘Anne—?!’

I thought he was sleeping, but before I knew it, he was glaring at me with his eyes narrowed.

“Do you know how angry I was at that time…? I thought you were antinomy. I love you this much, but you sat down with your aunt like Hanryang, then with the Siren sisters, and finally with your mom.”

Shir buries me in his body and hugs me like a bamboo wife. There was still sadness in his voice.

“······Sorry.”

There was no such thing as a woman on Earth.

However, after falling into Pangea, the thing called Yeobok began to explode.

“And that day, before my jealousy could subside, my sister came.”

The amber eyes looked gloomy.

“I was really out of my mind when I saw my mom getting stabbed by a spear. And you didn’t return my love as much as you received it, so you left me, saying it was all my fault.”

I’ve been living for Shir and Jules for too long.

Life has worn down, and ordinary people have lost their ability to communicate. Looking back now, it was just words that trampled on people’s hearts.

“I’m angry. A fleeting empty head is filled with light pride and cannot go down, but it is understood with the head. So… I only gave him blood. Venus said he would help me.”

“Because of Venus, my relationship with women became twisted like a spider’s web.”

“So. When you disconnected from me, I thought it was all over. Because of my suffering, I distrusted Venus, and Venus made me into Amor so that I would not suffer.”

It still comes to mind.

When Shir lost his memory, it felt like all the plans in my head were falling apart, and when we reached the end and didn’t recognize me, my heart broke.

“···But you came back like this, right? How was it for you?”

When I listen to an honest and simple story, my dead sensitivity seems to come back.

“···I lived for you. I believed in pure love and pure kindness. Then I realized. Unless it is artificially created, the hardest thing to find in this world is purity. That’s why people are passionate about purity.”

Innocence was a rare gem.

Because I’ve never seen anything real in the world.

“The thing that was hardest to find in Ain was innocence. After realizing the truth of this world, I was able to accept and understand most things. Now I think about this.”

“What are you thinking?”

“That innocence was humanity.”

What only Jules and Shir showed me.

And what I longed for.

Most subhumans who fall into the abyss do not do anything contradictory. The antinomy is self-sacrifice, and there is no way those who have fallen to the bottom can make self-sacrifice.

“I feel like I’ve already become like this and there’s no turning back.”

“···It tickles a little.”

Shir laughs and touches my cheek.

“Are you hoping for water to come out of the sandy desert? Who lies on a bed covered in his own semen and makes dirty noises?”

Lexi, who is now dressed in a gown, is looking at me with a distressed face.

This posture is better for living in the first place. I just chose efficiency over humanity.

···This is why psychopaths become CEOs or hold high positions in society.

“I got all the water, so come out to wash.”

A body that has already shown itself as it should.

While naked, I stepped into a slightly cold hot bath with a faint scent.

“Let’s make it a little warmer.”

Lexi glares at me as I scold her.

“The semen is cooked and sticks. Is this going to be like this for a day or two?”

“Hahaha…!”

Why are you upset?

I hugged Lexi’s back and sat down on the steps of the bathhouse.

“What is that floating around here?”

“Let go. Because I really don’t have time.”

···I think I know why that knuckle lost his temper.

As I go over and clean Lexi’s body, she says she doesn’t have time, but in the end, she comfortably entrusts her body to me.

Wipe my breasts… and thighs…

My body is shaking slightly.

“Don’t act like a lewd male prostitute.”

” It’s about washing. Lexi, who thinks like this, is no different from a lustful prostitute.”

Lexi laughs heartily.

It completely buries itself in me, puts its horn on my shoulder and plays late.

“Sihyeon Lee.”

“Yes.”

“There is something that many people misunderstand. Do you know what that is?”

“Well, ”

“The truth of the world that you spoke of… if I quote you, it comes from that purity.”

“Really?”

“Okay. There is no such thing as a stronghold that penetrates the times. So don’t create standards. The world changes quickly.”

Aren’t humans animals that build strongholds and live immersed in inertia?

That’s how you get used to the world and based on that, you develop your own opinions.

“···But isn’t it cool to have at least one belief?”

“Evolution is change, and the opposite of change is no change. Since beliefs do not change, it is like degeneration. So, you should not restrict yourself with standards and beliefs. People can be anything.”

“This is what someone who waited for 17 years would say?”

“That’s why you go through all this trouble.”

yes!

yes···.

Lao Tzu’s words come to mind.

To become strong, you must become like flowing water.

“Humans are animals with two distinct sides. Although they are extremely aggressive, they form a group and take care of each other kindly. If you accept both sides and truly understand them, you can’t sound like a shallow dreamer who thinks humanity has been lost.”

Humans see what they want to see.

It is simply that I am intoxicated with one aspect of it.

Lexi looks up at me with the corners of her mouth raised.

“Little boy.”

“···This pedophile!”

After massaging Lexi’s body, I ended up burying my head in the boiling water.

* * * * * *

“You want to meet your friend?”

“Yes.”

Although he wants to kill the king, he is also certain that he cannot escape.

Once I accepted that, I was able to naturally leave the cage.

“Would you like to observe the death penalty?”

“I’m going to go see it.”

“Okay.”

Shir opens the door.

As if to guide you, you take the lead and open the door at the end without knocking.

The windows and doors are all iron bars.

When Sur opened the lock on the iron cage and walked inside, he was able to meet Isabelle, who happened to be eating.

I couldn’t say anything, I just looked up. The fingers holding the utensils are turning white.

“Even if I’m your friend, I have no mercy if you are rude. Before I grind that pretty body into sausage with my hands, step by step, I think you will take action appropriately.”

“···Don’t say anything scary.”

“I’m serious about this.”

Shir hugs me and sits on the nearby sofa.

“···Did you torture Dewin?”

Isabel’s face was as hard as stone.

‘Did you mistake Gyo-sung for Scream?’

How is that possible? It makes no sense that an old maid, even over 20 years old, would not know that.

“What? Ahaha!!!”

Shir smiles and hugs me tightly.

“Okay. I did. I did it non-stop for two days. I gave it poison and when it was about to die, I saved it. And they tortured me constantly. You don’t know how good it felt to hear the screams.”

Shir’s eyes lit up and he wrapped his arms around my neck. Sur had been acting particularly sharp towards Isabelle.

“Shir···.”

Before I could continue speaking, Shir’s lips covered my mouth.

“······!”

Isabel jumped up in fright.

“W-what are you doing─?!”

I feel it.

Sur was teasing Isabel mischievously. To become the villain of the world for me.

“Phew… Hmm…”

Saliva flows long and a long tongue escapes from the mouth.

“Do you like this guy?”

Isabelle’s eyes widened. Convinced by Isabelle’s reaction, Shir smiled brightly, and soon… both hands covered my eyes.

“It’s ugly, so you shouldn’t look at it.”

The voice changed. At the same time, Shir’s body and chest, which were comfortably leaning against him, also began to get smaller.

“What the hell are you…!”

“It’s entertainment.”

······Shir and Isabelle’s voices became completely the same. Soon, Shir’s hand was taken away from me.

just as expected?

Isabel’s face is above me.

“What are you doing…!”

“Next time, I will sleep with the man you like with this face. Again and again, again and again…”

Isabelle on her shoulder smiles brightly.

“Princess.”

‘···princess?’

Isabel trembled and avoided my gaze. Why are you a princess all of a sudden? The princess is dead, right?

“White skin, green eyes, black hair. There’s no way I wouldn’t recognize it. That you bitch is the daughter of a scum-like king.”

“······Didn’t you know? She is dead.”

“Your double who pretends to be the princess is probably dead. A maid who is close to you who can play you.”

what do you mean?

I can’t understand a thing.

“···Isabel?”

“Isabella di Habstenburg. An illegitimate child whose father is unknown. And… an unknown woman who received the blessings of several servants.”

Shir started putting his hands inside me.

Then, he gently swept it up.

“Now, tell me. Who are you?”

“Ah, I understand now. So you two were on the same side?”

“Don’t avoid answering.”

Sur touched my lips in the form of Isabelle. Isabel’s forehead was deeply wrinkled. Soon the finger is thrust into the mouth.

“···I know everything, so what are you asking me to do?”

‘···Isabel was royal?’

Judging by the fact that his lieutenant was killed by Bok Soo, he seems to have held a grudge against him.

It may be worth it for Isabel to lie about her identity and enlist.

I can see why he reacted so sharply to personal information, and I can also understand why the Defense Security Command came to my location so quickly.

Are you that angry that you got caught? Isabelle had a face that looked like she was going to kill me.

But it doesn’t make sense. The princess must not have been twenty years old yet.

“Every detail, everything.”

“···A group of assassins called Vengeance began targeting any member of the Habstenburg royal family. Everyone lives in their own safe house… but as an illegitimate child, I don’t have anything like that. That’s why I ran away here.”

“I’m not interested in such personal circumstances. I’m asking about your ‘role’.”

“What does it mean?”

The sight of the two Isabelles conversing was frighteningly difficult to get used to.

“Why is your hair black?”

“It’s probably because I’m an illegitimate child.”

“No. That’s because the servant gave you the role to seduce this man.”

Shir sticks his nose into my body and takes a deep breath as if inhaling the scent of an air freshener containing dried mint. The bad hand cannot stay still and digs deeper little by little.

“···What does it mean?”

“Look at your neat features and ironically beautiful body. Your eyes shine like jewels. What about milk-white skin and a voice like a siren? ···Didn’t you feel that you were strangely detached from other human women?”

“···Yes?”

“Your appearance is this man’s taste. I can guarantee that. You must have been very shaken. Right?”

The two Isabelles stare intently at me.

‘···I think he’s going to hate me.’

I don’t think he will consider me a friend anymore. Hundreds of thoughts pass by. What do we do? Should I kill him?

“···Yes.”

“Ahahaha! Plus, there are only two blessings from the servants I confirmed! There might be more!”

Shir laughs as if he is shocked and grabs my neck with his thin hand.

“···Is Dewin an important person?”

“Okay then! It’s important. He is the main character of a puppet show to entertain Ajin worth billions of dollars. You are the villain who leads the play to tragedy!”

Sur regains its original form once again. Amber eyes looked Isabelle up and down, and the corners of her mouth began to rise.

“It looks so pretty that I want to play with it.”

“······.”

Isabelle clearly shows signs of being fed up.

“Don’t bother people you don’t know anything about.”

“Yes. Seobang~.”

Shir hugs me tightly and rubs my cheek.

Isabelle looked at Sir and asked him to explain his attitude. This is hard to ignore.

“Didn’t I do that? If they get caught, they’ll drive me crazy.”

Isabel trembles and glares at me.

“Ha, ···Don’t talk nonsense!!! Have you been fooling me this whole time?! Are you trying to kidnap me?!!”

“I had no intention of ever setting foot in the South again. If I were deceiving you, I wouldn’t have slaughtered nearly six hundred people to save you. If I had escaped then, I would have been a good comrade in arms with you.”

“This, this fraudster…!”

Isabel opens her eyes and glares at me.

…There’s no turning back, right? If so, you should kill him. Because Isabel is closer to the king than anyone else.

“Who is this crazy bitch insulting? You are the fraudster. Are you trying to kill my cute man? Eavesdropping! Tempting!”

“I never thought like that!”

“Really? Not even once? Then why did you eavesdrop on my man for half a year?”

My head started pounding from the shocking sound.

“What? What do you mean?”

“I, I…”

“Oh, you didn’t know?”

“Stop it. We’ll talk together.”

“Do you know what that bitch would do by putting them both in the same space?”

“···Shir. Please do me a favor.”

“······It will be outside the door.”

Shir gets up from his seat with a dissatisfied expression on his face. Then he smiled and walked out the door so that only I could see him.
