Don’t Concern Yourself With That Book Chapter 151

Chapter 151

Translator: yun

“Brother.”

My heart was getting heavier as all the things I couldn’t handle gradually piled atop each other. I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to pick it up again if it fell.

“There are a lot of things I want to ask and talk to you about but it looks like you’re in too much pain to listen to whatever I have to say, brother.”

“It’s fine. Just sit.”

Anyone could tell from his serious expression that he was just being stubborn about admitting his pain. I continued staring at him. Was this how Dane, Fleon and the Lord felt whenever they looked at ?

“No matter how handso you are, you still won’t be able to convince .”

“Sit.”

“No, rest.”

The more I watched him, the more he reminded of myself. All in the way he thinks, his dry personality and the things we could never turn a blind eye to.

“Don’t be stubborn. Please?”

“…..”

I had always wanted to be soone who could be confidently selfish. In order to rid myself of misfortune, I wished I could think nothing of the small sacrifices surrounding . But I couldn’t do that. My mont of misfortune had just passed. It had been difficult and tiringly painful but at this point, all my thoughts were of Amor who seed to be having a hard ti.

“What happened today was not my first ti.”

Amor held my hand tightly.

“Don’t just leave after saying what your piece. I hadn’t said a word yet.”

In the dark, the grip he had on was tight. He felt like a child.

“But, brother, your face…”

“Zip it.”

His head lowered and I could see the crown of his head. He was delirious from his fever and it looked difficult for him to bear.

“Brother…”

It was dark but I carefully looked for his forehead before poking it.

“A little more…”

Did he feel good? He held my hand. I lowered my hand towards his eyes and closed them.

“I was worried.”

“…..”

“I said I was worried… about you.”

We were not good at worrying. I had forgotten that such an expression was unfamiliar to the both of us. I could tell how wretched he was feeling from his voice.

“If you go outside, it’ll be hard for to protect you.”

He could hear everything the plants were telling him but his divinity was limited to his palace.

It was like having hundreds of phones and listening to them all at the sa ti. It would only be tiring for him if he did it for too long. Moreover, as the distance increases, the divinity he would have to pour into his abilities would double. It would only further burden his weak body.

“… You don’t have to overdo it.”

“But I was put in a situation to do it.”

Amor spat out bluntly.

“The bracelet I gave you only tells nonsense.”

“Well, sorry about that. I lost it…”

It disappeared while I was running away from the kidnappers… and the man, who now looked furious, smiled before saying.

“That seed to be the case.”

For so reason, perhaps it was because he was sick, Amor seed to have gotten more lenient.

“Hernandez is the Templar of Beasts. You won’t be able to avoid him even if you cover your face.”

He spoke slowly.

“Just as I thought, you knew I was going to run into him.”

“Right. He often leaves the Crown Prince’s Palace to go outside.”

He spoke feistily but remained calm.

“Just as you saw out there, he’s a very dangerous man. You don’t like him much so I didn’t think you would try to get involved with him… That was my mistake. You saw how he was, right?”

Certainly, he was very different from how he was in the palace.

“It’s because the Templars of Beasts are unable to suppress their longings and desires well. When he remains out of range of his suppressor, he becos a bull without reins. He’s a pitiful templar who continues to be plagued by his instincts and impulses because of the blood of an ancient beast.”

“Are you saying, in the palace, Cas… our 1st Brother plays that role in the palace? He’s the suppressor?”

“Yes. Do you know what it’s like to have a hard ti judging situations rationally? If he makes a mistake, he will hurt anyone he sees.”

I removed my hand from Amor’s eyes. I touched the diary unknowingly.

He let out a sigh.

“Hernandez said it himself. When his suppressor is not present, he’s nothing more than a violent beast.”

His head leaned against his bed’s headboard. His light sky-coloured hair fluttered down his forehead before he took in a little breath.

“I gave you three bottles because I thought you would use at least one. If it’s you, I believed that you would use them properly.”

His words sounded more like a lant.

“If you had the ti to drink the drug, I thought you wouldn’t be in a situation serious enough to even fight. That was exactly what I had thought.”

Even as the darkness covered my eyes, I could recognise his green irises.

“You should’ve known to avoid it. I didn’t know you would co back in such a ss. … You always exceed my expectations.”

My hand stopped touching the diary. In the end, he said that he had not wanted to et Hernan and even if we did et, he had wanted to avoid him.

Because of that, he had used up all his strength to make tools that would make things easier for at his own expense.

“Am I right to say that to counteract another templar’s divinity, you would have to pour out either a similar or a greater amount of power?”

In the book, it was written that the Templars of Beasts had excellent physical abilities, keen five senses and instincts like a beast’s. Those skills could be considered one of their abilities.

Amor only got this sick because Hernan was such a difficult opponent.

“That drug must have been very powerful.”

“Correct.”

It could not have been easy to fool Hernan’s eyes.

“… In the end, you’re sick because you hid from Hernandez. B-Because of ?’

My vision was getting blurry. I felt really apologetic but it was useless. I was not worried only because he was sick. This was the right ti to say it.

“Alright.”

“…..”

“Because I didn’t want to see you get hurt.”

He spoke.

“… I wanted to do it. So I just did.”

I had completely forgotten what I wanted to say because he was so straightforward and honest. Completely.

“It’ll be difficult for you to hide your identity once you run into Hernan. He might look easygoing but he’s a strong templar. It had been trickier than I thought, trying to fool that person’s eyes. So the fact that I‘m sick right now has nothing to do with you.”

“That…”

My mouth had been left agape blankly for a while now.

‘And that’s because you had been worried about .’

“Why?”

The wind swept through the door and the hem of the curtains fluttered with it.

“Why did you do that?”

“Hernan’s in charge of a very important task. But what if you, the princess, appear?”

“He’s going to hurt ?”

“That’s right. It’ll be annoying if a mber of the Imperial Family finds out about a secret no one should know about. If it hadn’t been for Hernan, the rest of the n would not have let you go so easily. The n who called Hernan their captain. They are all part of the secret organisation known as the ‘Emperor’s Shadows’.”

“I know. I overheard what they said.”

Though I heard it from the Templar of Chaos to be exact.

“Right now, they’re in charge of everything that’s going on in the back alleys of the capital. Even though the 2nd Prince might have been vaguely suspicious, he’s not able to catch them red-handed.”

His words made feel strange about what I already know.

“But I already know. I’m just a powerless princess.”

“No one believes that anymore after you joined hands with the aedile.”

Amor spoke firmly.

“And Hernan’s aides all know your face.”

“There’s no point hiding my face in front of those n. Was that why you had to trick Hernan as well?”

“You’re right. Wasn’t it unpleasant to see him outside the palace? The best situation was if you didn’t run into each other but when I heard the reason why you wanted to leave the palace, I thought that would be difficult. And even if it wasn’t Hernan you t, I had expected his n to have seen you at any given ti.”

“So you did know. What Hernan does outside the palace.”

“I can’t say that I don’t.”

The disgusting mories of five n grabbing a girl and trying to drag her away remained in my mind.

In fact, before coming here, I thought about how I should talk about the kidnapping.

I think I had overlooked it too much. In the original novel, Amor was soone who was closely related to the Crown Prince and the 2nd Prince.

If this was really a world within the novel, then the other things I know about him must be true. Just because one person’s personality changed, that didn’t an everything changed. He was his ally and still relied on Castor for his life.

“It’s the 2nd Prince!!”

“I am the Saintess of the Empire. Beatrice Marissa.”

Furthermore, even though I did not know much about politics, everything that happened was the Emperor and Castor’s doing. Moreover, the 2nd Prince was related too.

What if I, who had beco associated with the aedile who was known for his just and moral character, found out about this important matter? The Emperor’s Shadows might find botherso. The plan should be carried out without anyone finding out.

As a result, it was a good thing I had taken that drug.

“Won cannot be templars. Because it has prohibited by the law.”

For a strange reason, this Empire has entered an era where the number of templars have beco remarkably small because won have beco completely rejected from being templars.

“All we want is the fall of this Empire.”

Hernan, Castor and the emperor.

The main characters in the . Though myself, everyone around and the place I lived in were not even in the original novel. If the Empire really fell as depicted in the novel, all the people I knew would die.

However, this was not what Amor and I were going to talk about.

“What you said. There’s so parts that don’t make sense. Let’s say my face changed. But what if Hernan still hurt ?”

Hernan was going to do that at first.

“That’s why I gave you one more. For insurance.”

“Insurance.”

“Hernan could kill you.”

He smirked at but his expression soon turned serious and said.

“Don’t you have the power of my protection with you? If Hernan had tried to hurt you, he would’ve stopped.”

“Are you talking about the blessing?”

“Yes.”

“That’s why you did it? Because of Hernan?”

“… Two stones, one bird. I needed enough of my divinity to flow out of your body to deceive Hernan. That way, I can trick that beastly sense of his.”

“Did you do it just in case?”

“Yeah. It did not seem like there was going to be any chance the two of you et but just in case.”

“You did sothing really useless.”

“Well, it did help in the end. Didn’t we beco more comfortable with each other?”

“That’s stupid!”

I tried to speak calmly but I spat it out at him loudly with my face heating up. My cry began to mix with my words making it sound like a wail.

“I don’t want to be protected by you at your expense. I don’t like that.”

Then, Amor bowed his head with an elegant smile that could not be imitated before lowering his head as well.

“I think you returned safely. That’s what I wanted from the beginning.”
