Chapter 163 - The Attack

 

At the absurd question that was aimed at me, something broke within my head. “Why are you asking me if I’m okay?!” He saved me, became my cushion, but still asked if I was okay, which got me angry at him. “You’re the former sun, who will succeed the throne in the future. Why did you risk yourself for the likes of me?!”

The Crown Prince turned solemn and looked away. He tried to say something quietly, “Because you were-”

“Yes, I may have been kicked out of the field because you deemed me useless, but I’m still a valuable officer nonetheless! But a king shouldn’t still sacrifice himself for his subjects!”

“It’s not like th-”

“What do you mean, ‘it’s not like that?!’ Do you have any idea that what you just did could jeopardize our empire?!”

I was making our country an excuse, but that wasn’t what I truly felt. I wanted to speak to him for recklessly sacrificing himself for a worthless woman like me. That’s what I wanted to say to him. ‘Unlike me, you’re a valuable person.’

That’s when he looked at me. I never saw him make such a face. Is he angry or uncomfortable? I don’t know. I have no idea what that face means… I was trying hard to decipher what his face meant when the answer came from him.

“Enough. Enough nagging. I already regret bringing you here.”

I almost felt like crying at those words, but I held onto it. Yeah, I guess he hates me. I spoke like that even when he saved my life… But why does he have to go so far to say he regrets it? This was why I decided not to dream of anything and be satisfied with the life of an officer. It’s hard to control my mind. But is there anyone out there who can control their mind as they want? I would say no one.

“Alright, then. If you’ll excuse me, this useless officer will…”

As I was about to get up, he grabbed my wrist and pulled me in. But this time, it was more of a careful act, unlike before. “But it’s not because you’re a nuisance or useless. You are…”

I gulped down my throat. That’s when he threw my hands away and pulled his sword out. Oh, is that it? You’re going to kill me because you hate me? A*sh*le. You made me hope for it even at the last moment! You demon… Huh? That’s when something shot my head.

Blood. It was a bloodbath, and I saw something stopping me in the front.

[You and your cursed bloodline! You demonspawn!]

“Rina, I’m sorry! I’m really sorry!” A young boy was shedding tears. But that face, unfortunately, was still unclear.

“WAKE UP!” A rough voice pulled me out to my senses. Then I saw the Crown Prince standing in front of me with a fierce look on his face. “Dammit! It was one of the succubi!”

“Succubi? I’m sorry, I don’t… Huh?”

The ground was dug up, the trees were cut down, and everywhere was a mess. I became so shocked that my eyes were wide open and looked around, until I heard a calm voice.

“It’s one of the demons.”

“Pardon?”

I was so dumbfounded by such nonsense that I replied to him, but the Crown Prince still looked very angry as he answered.

“It was one of those demons that attacked us. These ones bring the worst memory stored deep within you and lock you in it.”

At the moment, I thought maybe he had finally gone mad. A demon? Come on. There’s no such thing as the world. This is bad if he goes even crazier from this… Or he already did.

“Hah. I know it’s hard to believe. But I’m telling you the truth.”
