“How have you been so far? Is the defense within the castle so tight?”

“Nothing happened. However, rats usually move at night, right?”

“What kind of rats are they?”

“Well, they are agents of nobles who paid close attention.”

It felt very strange to think that Juul was treating me with respect.

“Why are you treating me with respect that I don’t even give to ancient dragons?”

“···I’m Isabel.”

“What?”

“The subject of my consciousness is Isabel.”

When I see Jules sulking, I feel strangely depressed.

Subject of consciousness? There is nothing like that. People live in the present.

In other words, he wants to speak respectfully to me.

“Ah~ Did you ever want that? I didn’t know that.”

So I decided to make fun of him.

“Hosot, who eats men, now wants to be eaten by men.”

“Sihyeon. Don’t climb.”

“You should eat such a sleazy hosot as you want.”

Jules projected Dantalian energy onto me.

But I am a ‘head’ person.

Thanks to this, the warning felt like nothing more than an annoyance.

“Pfft!”

Jules trying to be loved by me?

The surging sense of immorality fascinated me like spice and I began to become endlessly excited.

“Do you want to get hit?”

“···How is Anne doing?”

“It’s next to it.”

Isabelle laughed and nodded.

Well, there is no reason for Anne not to come see me.

But I don’t see Anne.

“I suffered greatly after Sihyeon died. I confined myself.”

“What is Anne doing now?”

“I am listening to Sihyeon’s heart and feeling its beat with my hands.”

Soon Anne’s appearance was revealed.

Looking at his haggard face and puffy eyes, he looked like he had been crying.

The ruby colored eyes were scolding me.

“They said they would come back.”

“Didn’t you come back?”

“It’s too late…!”

Anne hugs me.

I also hugged Anne. But I can’t get caught.

I looked at Isabel at the incomprehensible phenomenon.

“What is this?”

“The power blossomed because of stress. Anne is not limited by physical power.”

“···Anne, I want to hug you for the first time in a long time.”

“I will only hug you.”

The hand holding my back digs into my body.

His hand lightly held my heart.

“I thought Lee was pretending to be dead, so I put my hand here, but it didn’t jump.”

“Didn’t you hear the explanation? Even if I die, I will come back to life.”

It feels like the warm, soft, voluptuous body of a human woman.

Still, I couldn’t hug Anne.

“Then you should explain it that way.”

Anne holds my heart.

I became dizzy with a ‘heart pounding’ that went beyond the dictionary definition.

Jomuljomul-

“Quuk! Ugh!”

Every time Anne holds my heart, my heart flutters one after another.

It feels strangely good, but it also makes me queasy.

I pretended to be sick and fell to Isabelle.

“Why did it end up like this when I asked you to take good care of it?”

“What do you think? It’s a joke.”

Isabelle just shrugged and smiled.

After receiving permission, Anne climbs up with a smile on her face.

“At the prom. As they touched the hearts of the men and women they met, they thought they were in love.”

“So what did you do?”

“I’m playing the role of an evangelist of love. Thanks to this, when a ball is held at Gestier, young nobles always attend?”

I thought he was doing all sorts of strange things.

I hugged Anne, and only then did her physical strength return.

Her voluptuous body was hugged and pressed against me, creating a pleasant feeling.

“So, I will tease Lee’s heart until he falls in love with me.”

“Did you get permission from the person next to you?”

Anne’s eyes turn to Isabelle.

My eyes followed Anne’s gaze and turned to Isabelle.

“Well, there are five anyway, so would adding one more make any difference?”

I thought there might be a commotion, but that wasn’t the case.

The white wolf that Jules and I do not know is a matriarchal hosot who lived in an era of polygamy.

‘Even in Islam, marriage is limited to four people.’

Six wives?

I couldn’t imagine it at all.

“···Don’t you think there are too many?”

“You mean my man sucks that much, right?”

It was a dizzying statement.

So much so that the Confucian dragon in my heart, which I thought was almost dead, was resurrected.

“When shall we have the ceremony?”

“Yes?”

“Because he became king, everyone was telling him to get married. Hurry up and have posterity.”

Isabelle secretly glances at me.

“Postponing is also a limitation. This is how I ended up marrying the perverted prince of Romaria.”

It was bullshit.

I am the only man in Pangea who can handle this person.

The eyes were secretly looking at me.

“Oh my, are you jealous? A man with six wives?”

Isabelle secretly glanced at me.

“I have no conscience.”

“Do not read people’s minds. Being too dependent creates confidence.”

“My personality doesn’t change or I don’t experience any disabilities like Jeon Si-hyeon. Ceres’ blessing definitely helps the brain.”

···It did.

This person received all the blessings of the thirteen servants.

In other words, it was possible to offset the shortcomings of Dantalian’s power.

“···First of all, we must abolish common marriage.”

“That doesn’t matter. I’m the queen. I will do what I want, and it will happen as I want.”

Isabel smiled.

“Sihyeon, you just need to come physically.”

* * * * * *

Isabelle was sleeping with her cut on my arm.

Anne is lying on the other side.

‘It’s warm.’

The warmth of skin-to-skin contact cannot be beat no matter what blanket you bring.

The broken slave bracelet and the dented functional prosthesis here and there are particularly noticeable.

It seemed like they searched the scene and took care of it.

“···Are you awake?”

“Are you really going to keep doing that?”

“···I’m Isabel…?”

“Me?”

“Something!”

Isabelle eventually opens her eyes and looks up at me as if she feels aggrieved.

What is so unfair?

“I was confused at first too. Whether I am Rian, Jeon Si-hyun, or Ri Si-hyeon… I don’t know how much I practiced pretending to be a kid to please my parents.”

Juul is so cute now because I understand his concerns.

I also really like that shy face.

“There is no point in sharing. Because you were one from the beginning. Take it easy as it comes out.”

“Don’t say that I followed suit. For me, it’s actually Sihyeon who follows me.”

“Is that so? I was like this even before Isabelle was born?”

He put his hand in her side and wrapped it around her, touching her soft stomach and hugging her.

A slightly trembling body is good, and a warm body is also good.

Just touching each other’s skin makes me happy, like I’m on drugs.

“···What are you going to do now?”

“Shii sent me here, but I don’t know what to do.”

“Why did you send it?”

They said the only person who can protect me is Isabelle.”

“···Yes? How do I protect myself? From what?”

Even I don’t know.

What on earth should we be protected from?

After consulting with his fellow servant Ceres, the dragon tolerated my coming back to life.

‘At least you won’t give me shit until I take care of it.’

But there’s no way Lexi knew that.

So, did Rexi come to me simply to fulfill Mercurius’ request?

To suppress anti-Japanese ideology?

“Anti-Hain ideology should no longer be spread.”

A strange look appears in Isabel’s eyes.

“That’s surprising. I thought you hated servants.”

“Because there are more important things than that.”

The servant was at a loss just because Isabelle, who should have been on Drekkar’s side in the first place, ended up on my side.

I hated the dragon, but from his mouth he said, ‘Pick.’ The moment I heard those words, all the resentment that had been building up in my heart flew away.

“I saw a dead person in the square of the outer wall.”

Rather than desecrating the deceased, it is a corpse for one punishment.

However, if you wear it on your nose, it is a nose ring, and if you wear it in your ears, it is an earring.

It is up to one’s interpretation, so Edward would never have sat idly by.

“There is no way Edward would have just watched it displayed like that.”

“You were just watching? I wasn’t interested at all.”

Something is strange.

“···I need to meet Edward.”

“I’ll take you there.”

If that’s the case.

I got up, cleaned up, and washed my body.

Afterwards, following Isabel’s lead, we headed towards the king’s reception room.

The employees, servants, and knights looked at me and expressed their doubts, but as soon as they saw Isabelle, they immediately lowered their eyes to the floor.

It must be an action to preserve one’s life.

But to me it feels like they are mocking Isabel.

“How did you sit on the throne?”

“I just took a picture and pressed it. This throne is not yours but mine.”

That’s right…

“What doesn’t Edward say?”

“Did you think I could help that monster?”

Edward is looking at me with a very dissatisfied face.

There was even contempt on his face.

“That’s right. There was no way a monster like you would have died.”

“Long time no see.”

“There is no need for such trivial greetings. What on earth did you do to Isabel?”

Edward’s expression as he looked at me was like ice.

I can’t read what you’re thinking.

“I just guided the servant as he wanted.”

“Are you saying that the servant is trying to do something through Isabel?”

That was going to happen, but I twisted it.

The current situation was not good.

Because Edward was watching Isabelle’s self-destruction without interfering.

This means that Isabel was completely out of Edward’s sight.

“I don’t know either. But don’t you know? No matter what we do, we are no different from rats playing in the servant’s palm.”

“I didn’t even ask about that. Did the servant tell you to kill even people who have not committed a crime?”

It was a sensitive topic.

Edward sneered and looked at Isabelle.

“Brother. It seems like a little brat who runs to his parents and tells them.”

It was a very harsh tone.

Isabel ignored my gaze and began glaring at Edward.

“What does it mean?”

“Did you see the body in the square?”

“Yes. I saw it.”

“Then it’s easier said than done. It doesn’t matter what or how you see through those eyeballs. The important thing is that that monster is killing even people who haven’t committed a crime.”

Fear appears on Edward’s face.

···Isabel is suppressing Edward with the power of Dantalian.

Isabel’s eyes were covered and blocked.

Edward lets out a trembling breath and looks at me again.

“That woman is crazy. That’s not Isabelle. It’s something that has taken over Isabel’s shell. I don’t know what I showed you, but it’s all just pretense.”

“Why would the princess be so condescending to me?”

“What kind of crazy king would hang an innocent person by the neck and hang him in the square until he rots and crumbles? That monster is a monster mired in anachronistic delusions. I know this is the Warring States Period!”

Isabel looks angry.

That’s all true, but why are you saying there’s something to be angry about?

“That’s right. That person is anachronistic, barbaric, and cruel.”

Humans do not mature with age.

Humans grow older and mature.

In that respect, Isabel is a person who has never aged for 170 years.

Since he spent all of his 170 years of life on the battlefield, it is natural for his views on politics to be distorted.

Even the memories of living during the war came back.

‘For Isabel… war itself is life.’

It’s clear that Lexi said that Isabel was crazy.

Let’s fix it slowly. Because there is a lot of time.

“I hope you leave it to me.”

Edward’s eyes narrow slightly.

It seemed like he wanted me to say something loud to Isabel.

Throwing carrots was the priority now.

“Isabel, the prince is mine.”

“Do not even think about harming the prince, and do not even make eye contact.”

“···Yes.”

“If this happens, please tell me.”

I looked at Edward as if I was stamping a stamp.

Edward twitched the corner of his mouth.

“Ha! There is no other wild animal that has met its trainer!”

“I hope the prince will take a step back.”

“If that monster didn’t do weird things, I wouldn’t do this either.”

With those words, Edward walked into his office.

There is nothing good about Edward and Isabel’s relationship worsening now.

“Isabel.”

“···Yes.”

“Now it is a peaceful era.”

“The great war is over, and I will do whatever I can to prevent it from happening.”

I looked at Isabelle.

Isabelle looked dissatisfied.

“···That’s it. Because I know I was wrong too.”

It’s a good thing I know.

“Don’t do anything strange like anti-Hain ideology anymore. Religious freedom must be guaranteed.”

“Okay. I won’t do it.”

It was a sulky voice.

Even if I met Edward now, it would be difficult to make progress between them.

It’s right to do something else first.

“I have a lot of work to do, so I have to leave now.”

“Yes? Already?”

Anne looked up at me like a puppy looking up at its owner going out.

“There is not enough time.”

As I experienced death, the time I had been lacking became even more scarce.

‘I have to quickly unfold my plan.’

First, you have to go see Edeline.

To create a country without war, without all nations, between neutral people and human beings.

“Oh, before I go, let me ask you something.”
