Knock knock knock.

The visitor knocked on my room door.

“Can I come in?”

It was Lloyd.

When Lloyd walked in with his gloomy expression, Dabin had already disappeared in a flash with the magic circle glowing beneath her feet.

“Mr. Lloyd.”

“Kai!”

He was very surprised when he saw traces of tears on my face and approached me.

“Were you crying alone?”

Then he wiped away the flowing tears.

“I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you alone. I'll stay by your side from now on.”

He looked very disappointed.

“Mr. Lloyd, you don’t have to take responsibility for me. Just take me back to Zeronia.”

But he firmly refused in response to my words:

“This is not possible. I heard from my mother that in such situations, you must rest completely. Rest well for a while.”

This man seems to really believe that I had a miscarriage.

But after that, I lost the ability to speak because of what Lloyd said:

“You must be very sad about losing the baby... but since we can have another one in the future, don’t worry too much.”

Yes? What did you just say? I think I heard wrong?

Lloyd's face turned red as he looked at my surprise and continued:

“I will do my best.”

Kyaaah, no, no, Lloyd. This should never happen!

At that moment, I remembered “that thing” that I had seen in the tent, which looked like the huge body of its owner; I was ignoring him the whole time.

both. impossible. This was not a human thing.

In other words, I will die.

I quickly shook my head and shouted in confusion:

"For... just a moment! We only slept for one night. Baby? And you're trying your best? What does that mean?"

Lloyd tilted his head in surprise:

“Even though we didn't have the wedding, an unmarried man and woman sleeping together makes us like a married couple, doesn't it? And since you, Kay, seem to want a child, my point is, I'll do my best anytime.”

What?

Is there anyone who has such closed notions of chastity?

Who said I want a child! I just cried from the injustice of being threatened for something I didn't do!

As my blood pressure was rising, Lloyd delivered the final blow:

“And also… that was my first night.”

His face turned red again and he turned his head, muttering in a low voice.

Because of his sudden confession, I felt like my consciousness was starting to disappear, as if my blood pressure had exploded.

So then.

He was a “virgin man.”

Is that why he was so ignorant about sex matters...?

While I was trying to pull myself together, Lloyd continued speaking energetically:

“I gave you ‘Ole’, shouldn’t you also take responsibility for me?”

Oh my God…

My spirit was completely shattered by Lloyd's last words.

“Then, I will be in your custody, Kay.”

He took my hand and kissed its back lightly, and my mind sank into chaos again.

But this chaos did not last long.

Lloyd began to unbutton his white shirt one by one, and his muscular muscles, broad shoulders, and charming, masculine back appeared before my eyes.

Then my mind buzzed again and I regained consciousness.

“For... just a moment. Why are you taking off your clothes?”

Lloyd tilted his head with an innocent face as if he was surprised by my question and answered:

“It's late and now we should sleep...?”

“...Shall we sleep together in this bed?”

Lloyd answered my question with a bright smile:

“Isn’t it normal for spouses to sleep together?”

When my eyes met his violet eyes, I unconsciously swallowed my saliva.

A handsome face, a wonderful body, and a virgin man waiting for me on the bed.

For a moment I almost approached the bed without thinking, but I immediately regained my senses.

With such a handsome face and perfect body, it's unfair for you to talk like this in a novel for all ages, Lloyd!

I shouted out loud:

“It's not possible!”

“In... in Zeronia, it is not possible to sleep together until the wedding ceremony takes place!”

And we're not even really a couple!

I spoke in confusion without knowing what to say, then I ran to Lloyd and put the shirt on him and closed the buttons one by one, then led him out the door.

“So, good night.”

Tarrach.

With the sound of the door closing, Lloyd, his stunned face, disappeared in front of me.

I sat leaning against the door after I was alone in the room again.

“What on earth is happening...”

One of the heroines threatened to monitor me, and the other demanded that I take responsibility for his first night... My mind was distracted to the point of madness.

“Let's sleep first.”

I will think about it after I wake up.

I shook off my thoughts and fell asleep under the soft blanket.

Without me knowing that Lloyd, who was expelled, was muttering as he looked at the door of my room:

“A wedding… a wedding, then.”

I opened my eyes between the scattered covers.

I looked out the window and it seemed that dawn had broken.

While I was scratching my head, I remembered that I had screamed in tears at the heroine who came to kill me after I lost my temper yesterday.

I'm really crazy. She is a terrifying person who cuts rocks with her sword, but I spoke with all boldness.

Although Dabin retreated due to Lloyd's appearance, I don't know when she will come back again.

Shall I run away?

For a moment I remembered Lloyd's appearance as he demanded that I take responsibility for him, but I shook my head.

If I were deceived by his appearance and married him, the “gate of hell” would open for me in my married life because of my sister-in-law who wants to kill me.

This early dawn, when everyone is sleeping, is the golden opportunity to escape from the cursed Hilderius family.

I quickly opened my bag and put on my therapist's clothes, then checked the money bag.

The shiny gold was still in the heavy bag.

With this, I will be able to reach Zeronia easily.

I thought about getting out the window, but when I looked down, I changed my mind.

Even though it was on the second floor, it was very high.

Let's go out the door first!

I took courage and opened the huge door carefully.

There is no one, is there?

I did not expect at all that my eyes would meet the terrifying eyes of the heroine standing behind the slightly open door.

Oh, really! Wow!

How long has she been standing here?

I closed the door quietly and felt my heart beating rapidly.

I begged not to come in, but the door opened slowly.

Dabin stood in front of the door with a frightened expression.

“You're running away, aren't you?”

“Am... out for a walk?”

“In the dark dawn, after changing your clothes and preparing your bag?”

I lost the ability to speak because of Dabin's careful observation.

Well, what if I run away?

I was encouraged and looked directly into Dabin's eyes and said:

“Yes, actually I'm going home. So get out of my way. You don't like me being here either, Mrs. Dabin.”

“No, that's okay.”

“Yes?”

“Your status has suddenly risen even though you are a commoner, so you should stay here for a while.”

Dabin smiled kindly and approached me.

She had a dazzling beauty worthy of the heroine of this novel.

Short, shiny black hair, and sharp violet eyes.

She was very beautiful and smiling.

What happened to her suddenly?

Dabin continued her speech with a tolerant and smiling face:

“Yesterday, I was almost fooled by your acting. I thought that if you cried with an innocent face, I would be fooled like Lloyd was fooled.”

Poison emanated from Dabin's words.

“Who knows what machinations you will hatch if I let you go?”

I shook my head and answered:

“I won't manage anything, you see. I'm a wizard and I don't know how to use black magic.”

“Ah, that's none of my business.”

“Yes?”

“I mean for you to stay here.”

“I don't want to. I'll go back to Zeronia.”

Then her smiling face froze.

Dabin sighed and moved her neck until it popped.

“Don’t you understand the words?”

Dabin grabbed a huge, heavy iron clothes rack that was next to the door and lifted it easily.

“You are wrong, what I am saying now is not a suggestion but an order.”

Do you want to kill me with this thing? What's happening?

Dabin took the easel and folded it in half simply as if she were folding a piece of paper.

“I can fold a person's spine just like that, do you want me to show you?”

This was a threat.

Threatening to bend my spine like this.

I felt confused again by her words.

“Why…why are you doing this?”

"I'm giving you a grace period to decide whether to kill you or not. Who knows? Maybe I'll let you leave alive?"

Vitiligo!

I suddenly started having hiccups because of the fear of her sharp looks.

“Oh, of course. The opposite might happen too.”

She reopened the folded iron stand.

After she caught it and opened it with tremendous force, the holder became deformed and worn out and could not be used.

Dabin threw the pregnant woman carelessly.

The heavy carrier fell to the floor of the room, making a loud sound.

I imagined this is what I would look like after Dabin bent my spine, so I started shaking again.

"Keep up your disgusting act. You'll be exposed soon, but until then, I'll have fun too."

Dabin looked at me as I was trembling with horror, then came closer and wiped my cheek lightly.

“If you try to escape again and I catch you, I will throw you into the underground prison.”

Dabin smiled maliciously like criminals who rob people in the streets, then she opened the door and went out, saying:

“Then, have a delicious breakfast.”
