Kalix got up, brushing his body and wiping the blood from his lips.
Hey, you crazy b*****d! You steal soone elses bride, and even beat him up?
I tried to see you as a friend, but theres no such thing as a very unscrupulous person, Kalix muttered in a small whisper.
Get out before I kill you. Oscar said coldly, as if it was not worth responding to.
Kalixs brow wrinkled.
Are you going to kill ? Arent you afraid to say youre going to kill your friend?
I never thought of you as a friend. Oscars answer was adamant.
Kalix, who was approaching Oscar as if to counterattack at any mont, stood tall.
Kalix then blinked as if encountering sothing unexpected, and muttered, Hey, this hurts a bit
Oscar stared at Kalix as if he had no emotions. He was ready to kill him right away, if necessary. Kalix was shocked. Did Oscar really like Lelia that much? Even when she had been kidnapped in a hurry, he expected it Looking into those eyes, he seed to have a lot of feelings. It was difficult. Anyway, Lelia liked him, and shes going to marry him. Kalix didnt want to be shy with his friends, but this was unavoidable.
At the sa ti as Kalix felt sorry for her, he felt pathetic. If he likes a woman, hell do her favors, get down on his knees and think of winning her heart. But instead Oscar kidnapped her. It was rude. Well, he probably didnt have confidence
He may have done it because he already knew that Lelias heart was turned towards him. He couldnt have her, so instead he kidnapped her to keep her next to him. Thinking like that, he understood the gaze and cold words that glared at him as if Oscar would kill him.
Oscar. No matter what you do, Lelia cannot leave her family and go with you to Hraesvelg.
Do you want to make this little, delicate girl cry? She must be sad and missing her family. Can you watch that?
Oscar stiffened and said nothing. He wanted to go towards Kalix, who was talking nonsense right now, and drill a hole in his heart Maybe the Oscar from a few days ago could have done it, but he couldnt refute it now.
Oscar looked at Kalix with empty eyes. Then he looked away. He looked at Lelia, her terrified eyes, and the way she was looking at him. Those eyes His own eyes felt painful as if stabbed by a sharp sword. From now on, he will see Lelia forever only with that look in her eyes. No affection, no compassion, just eyes full of fear. A face that looks like it saw sothing terrible.
The pain spread through his chest. Not long after his seizures had subsided, he felt dizzy again. This terrifying sensation shook his whole body. He felt like he was about to have another seizure. He couldnt get out of this pain until a few minutes ago. Although he was nearby, he suffered from seizures the whole ti, and he could not co to Lelia. He ca back when he had barely regained consciousness, only to realize that Kalix had arrived.
Ahh
But it didnt seem like his consciousness could last long. His stomach twisted as if he was about to have a seizure again. Oscar bowed his head to avoid Lelia so as not to reveal his condition. He didnt want to show her that. When he was a child, he appeared like that in front of Lelia more than a dozen tis This was different.
mories from a very long ti ago churned through his mind and tornted him. The resulting seizures were accompanied by a different level of pain than that of his childhood. He didnt want to show her the pain in his eyes when it happened. It was a curse.
However, he could confidently say previously in this unfamiliar scene, I dont care what the curse is. He risked his curse to drag Lelia into mud. Yes, he is cursed. But that was then.
Kalix asked Oscar, as he hid the pain, Beside you, Lelia cant be happy forever. You know that. Is that what you want?
The cold words stabbed him.
A knife pierced his chest and blood oozed out of it.
Think of how Leo treated you when you were young. Even thinking about it, do you really want to do this?
He hated to admit it, but there was nothing wrong with what Kalix said. It was blind protection. It was the first ti in his life that he was protected by soone. Leo cherished and took care of him. The first love that he had received was very sweet. He was thirsty for that attention, and he beca increasingly voracious. He was always walking through the desert in search of water, and Leo poured sweet water of affection on him whenever he wanted. So, he got used to it. There was such an existence. The only one in this world Her
Go. Oscar managed to open his mouth.
A voice that seed to scratch his neck barely escaped.
What?
Take her.
As if squeezed, Oscar barely responded again.
Kalix nodded his head, seemingly thinking of Oscar better than him, with a slightly sad expression on his face.
But he wasnt Lelia.
[What now?]
Lelia went numb as if she had just been slapped in the back of the head. As if she had been betrayed by soone she trusted so much. Like she lost consciousness.
[Take away Is that what Oscar said now? Wasnt he unwilling?]
Even if she begged to be sent like that, it was Oscar who resolutely replied that he did not like it. Oscar, who acted as if he had tied her up, and hid her forever
[So easy? Youre sending away so quickly that its frustrating. The Oscar who kidnapped , locked up, promised to make the Empress and made her family invisible Did you intend to change this quickly?]
She was stunned by such an easy decision.
It was like being hit in the face.
Oscar
Unbeknownst to her, a pleading voice ca out. Oscar looked at her. His eyes were cold.
Go, I will send you away as you want.
Oscar, how could you?
Go, get lost.
A cold voice slapped her on the cheek again. She was speechless, unable to breathe properly.
Anyway, you hate . With those eyes
Im going to go crazy every ti I see you.
Oscar swallowed his words back and turned his head away.
Lelia had an intuition as she looked at Oscar who turned his head resolutely from her.
Oh, its over.
[This is the end of you and .]
And she also realized one more thing.
[ It didnt work.]
The feeling made her feel so shy that she couldnt even see Oscar and et his eyes the whole ti, so she wanted to avoid it. The sensation tickled her chest. She asked what the conversation was with the inn woman, and she had the urge to question why he was laughing. Not all of them were side effects of drugs. It was a pure feeling she felt. It was the bud of fresh emotions.
She wanted to ask why now hes telling her to go so easily. She wanted to ask why he turned his head away from her and why he gave up on her so easily. Her wretched feelings were intense. She wanted to shout, Are you playing with ?
Lets go, Lelia.
But there was no room for that.
Kalix walked over to Lelia, carefully carrying Sena who had been lying on the bed, on his back.
Oscar, co to the Duke of Superion when you calm down.
Oscar didnt respond to Kalixs words. He didnt give a glance to Lelia and Kalix. He just turned his head in disgust and stood still. Kalix looked at Oscar with pity, then he wrapped his arm around Lelias shoulder. Then, without any hesitation, he tore the scroll in his hand.
Ah !
Lelia, who was standing blankly, reached out her hand involuntarily at the last mont.
It was a brief mont, but she witnessed Oscars shoulder wrinkle in pain.
Oscar, why are you?
Her words did not fully escape before, in an instant, the landscape in front of her changed.
Lelia!
Lelia!!
It was the Duke of Superion. It was the place she had been missing the whole ti. Her grandfather and aunt rushed to her, anxiously roaming the office.
Lelia, what the hell is this?!
She could hold the family she wanted to see, and she needed to explain about her mother, but neither her body nor her mouth moved.
She stood there startled and couldnt say anything Just a mont ago, her head was filled with only the figure of Oscar.
Lelia!
Lelia eventually collapsed on the spot and fainted.
***
The tendons in his tense, muscular neck stood tight. Oscar grabbed his head as if in pain.
Ugh
A handful of blood spewed out. His blood, his head, and his neck were throbbing. Fragnts of unfamiliar mories tornted him.
Hi?
Sir Oscar.
Its okay?
It was the voice of a young Leo. But a little older than the original mory it was a cautious voice.
It was the first ti soone called him such a sweet voice. He considered it to be salvation, and he blindly followed. He promised to et them again soday and live for that person.
Ugh Ugh
It felt like soone was ripping through his stomach. He was gasping because he couldnt breathe properly. When his airway was blocked and he was about to die, he caught his breath again. It was like he could barely breathe due to the thin air. It was that kind of feeling. Lelia was also a precious being who ca into his life, seemingly like he was dying soon if she stayed with him.
Will you do it?
Through the foggy space, a clear voice could be heard. It was a voice he had forgotten. He answered without hesitation. He will do it. After that, words like dreadful curses could be heard. It warned that if he committed such a formidable sin, he would have to live in pain forever. He laughed and replied that it didnt matter. Since then, the angels figure has blessed his curse with a grueso smile.
Huh Ugh
As he closed his eyes, another scene appeared in front of him. It was a scene in his mory that haunted him for days. A shadow was cast on the bright and courageous young Leo who had saved him. It was the shadow of death.
He looked empty, as if he had given up on everything. The little boy was walking through the woods as if exhausted. A dark night where even the moonlight is obscured by clouds. The place where the child, who had been walking for a long ti, stopped was in front of the pond. The child, who was looking at the deep pond, put one of his feet out on the surface of the water. There was not even a single mont of hesitation.
The child went in search of his freedom to escape from a reality worse than his death. The mont he found out why his savior, whom he desperately wanted to recover, died, he felt like everything was falling apart. His whole body shattered. Shattered like glass.
He forcibly grabbed and dragged the soul who had found freedom through death. He was willing to carry the curse and live a life that would have been like a nightmare. His whole body was crushed by guilt. It was the weight of atonent that could never be escaped.
At that mont, another scene road his mind again. It was a nightmare he had a few days ago. Maybe it was sothing that might happen in the future. She was forcibly taken to Hraesvelg and Lelia lost all her life.
Like the little child in his mory, her face had the shadow of death. Lelia, who walked to the pond, jumps again like she once did. She escaped him and regained her freedom. Oscar twisted his body painfully and laughed in dismay. A curse placed upon him like a blessing by sothing in the form of an angel. A curse worse than eternal life. He himself could not have Lelia forever. This was the real curse he had to endure.
