Dalia nodded her head.
Without a drop of tears, determinedly.
As it has been before, again, Cedric liked her very much this ti.
“I’m Cedric. Can you sleep for a while? I’ll get you out of here in a minute.”
He decided to put her to sleep before she got caught up in anything more dangerous.
There was a sofa in the hallway. He magically pulled the sofa and flicked his hand lightly on her forehead. Dalia fell right on the sofa.
He turned his head with a smile.
“Now, it’s just the two of us. Long ti no see, Hikan.”
“…….”
“As always, you’re really annoying.”
Hikan looked at Cedric with a cold gaze.
“Your Highness the Second Prince, are you trying to take that child away from too?”
He had a clear sword made up of mana in his hand.
‘Aha, he uses a sword?’
Sadly, Cedric was vulnerable to close combat.
* * *
When Dalia closed the door and left, Hikan’s inner voice began to explode.
Starting with the curse that asks him to go and kill her and say that she’ll abandon him soday. But when nothing worked, they turned around.
《No one can take her out of here!》
《It’s too dangerous out there! They’re gonna kill her!》
That’s right. That was the right word.
Dalia was the only thing in his life that was given to him. Everyone left him, but she didn’t leave him.
But she wasn’t a transcendent, she was a human being, and when she fell to the floor, her knees scraped.
He had to protect her.
‘Then……what should I do?’
When he ca to his senses, Dalia opened the door of the study and looked at him in surprise.
He wanted to say sothing. He wanted to say that it’s okay. But at that mont, she fell on the sofa. Cedric, the Second Prince, appeared next to her.
《Look! He’s trying to kill Dalia too! Do you know what you have to do?》
There was no ti to think further. He rushed to Cedric with a mana sword.
* * *
Dozens of moves followed.
Hikan attacked Cedric with all his might. But Cedric couldn’t even use half of his power.
He stepped back with a frown. Now sothing was approaching from the end of the second floor hallway.
In the first place, those who are willing to kill and those who don’t, have a difference in the attack power itself.
‘This is why I have to leave it to my superiors.’
Cedric sighed.
It occurred to him that maybe his life would be hanging on a thread. There is no such thing as die in vain while preventing the awakening transcendent. (*t/n: i tried my best ㅠㅠ)
But if he uses mana here indefinitely, his mind will be ruined first.
Cedric took after his father and knew how to tell when to use his strength or not. It was such a waste to use up all his mana for this kind of thing.
Eventually, mana, which had been operated passively, quickly showed its limit.
As Hikan twisted the flow of the sword, it tore the hem of Cedric’s shirt. At the sa ti, Hikan’s mana broke down one side of the second floor railing.
Cedric was not completely safe either.
The balance of power was broken, and the magic that was putting Dalia to sleep was lifted.
‘Oh no, it’s dangerous.’
Luckily, Dalia was behind Hikan’s back, so it didn’t look dangerous right away. Cedric saw that Dalia slowly waking up behind Hikan.
She looks between Hikan and Cedric alternately in shock.
She has to run away imdiately.
Cedric gave her a light smile to reassure her. Only then did she co to her senses.
‘Yeah, run away now.’
“Br, brother! What are you doing? Stop it! You’re going to be executed! Please!’
However Dalia didn’t run away.
Instead, she called out to Hikan in panic during this bloody battle.
It was when Cedric was worried about putting defensive magic on her.
Hikan’s body flinched.
Whether it’s because he really loved his sister, he responded to Dalia’s voice. In doing so, he has a gap in his posture.
When Cedric was chanting the last word of the spell with the intention to knock him out.
“D, don’t do it! You lunatic!”
Dalia, who ran behind Hikan’s back, grabbed Hikan’s long hair and pulled him back.
Hikan and Dalia simultaneously lost their balance and fell backwards. Towards the railing that Hikan just broke.
“Oh no!”
Cedric looked down at the railing in surprise.
‘Damn it!’
Throughout her life, there were many things that happened, and Dalia thought that it was unfair.
When she ca to her senses, Hikan and Cedric were already fighting like crazy.
At first glance, Hikan was fierce as if he’s trying to kill Cedric. On the other hand, Cedric seed to be trying to get past this mont sohow.
‘If this continues, brother will kill the Second Prince.’
The original story ca to her mind. Hikan, who loved Adrisha and committed all kinds of evil deeds, and was eventually executed.
No matter how hard she struggles, in the end, she can’t change the big flow of the original? Hikan’s going to end up dying after all this hard work?
Such worries made Dalia lose her reason, and eventually she did sothing ridiculous.
In that brief mont of falling, Dalia t Hikan’s eyes, who turned his body.
‘You stupid brother. You’re the reason why I’m having such a hard ti in this broad daylight.’
He had finally co to his senses and his eyes were alive.
Dalia hugged his neck. Hikan also hugged her small body.
He turned over in that short ti. Now the one below was Hikan. And she saw the first floor right in front of her.
Thud!
……She couldn’t hear any sound. It didn’t hurt at all.
Cedric finally chants the magic to protect them.
A long ti has passed.
It was as long as an eternity had passed. The two were still laying on the floor, and Dalia was in Hikan’s arms.
That fact gave Hikan an infinite sense of security.
He embraced her stronger in his arms. After a while, Hikan whispered to her.
“I’m sorry.”
“……I won’t talk to brother for a year from now.”
Dalia said bluntly.
Hikan could feel the very soft and good energy transmitted from Dalia from the parts that were in contact with her.
The noisy voice disappeared, and all the inner pain and physical pain were pushed away like a tide.
At that ti, Dalia, who was hugging the Duchess of Blueport in the falling white sphere, ca to his mind.
Was Dalia sharing the sa feeling that she did to the Duchess of Blueport?
He felt a sense of tranquility.
He didn’t believe in God, but he could see for sure that she was the greatest blessing given to him.

“…… Adrisha.”
30 minutes after entering the estate, Cedric returned to the carriage with empty eyes that seed like it had lost its soul.
Adrisha grabbed Cedric in a hurry.
“H, how did it go? Can I go in?”
“No, not a chance. They’re in their own world. It’s settled, so don’t worry.”
Only then did Adrisha feel relieved.
Even if now is not the right ti, she can visit them later.
When her senses returned, Adrisha noticed that Cedric was still in a strange state. He had a blank look on his face as if he had just woken up from a dream.
“You know, Adrisha. What did you think of soone, who is not a transcendent, running towards a mad transcendent?”
“……what?”
“And what’s more, it’s not because of their own safety, it’s just because they’re worried about him.”
“………It must be hard.”
“I’ve never seen such a human being in my life.”
“…….”
“I should have known that since the last ti we t……Why am I so stupid?”
Cedric looked at Adrisha with a bewitched look. Ominous goosebumps ford all over her body.
‘No, don’t tell , no way, I don’t think so.’
Adrisha turned pale.
Not as much as that. Because she knew what Cedric was like.
But didn’t they say that ominous feeling always hit the mark? Cedric tilted his head gently and said in a trembling voice.
“Adrisha, for the first ti, I think I’m in love.”
