Chapter 1: 1

0. Prologue

Life is a series of crossroads.

Why does that word come to mind now?

I swallowed a dry saliva when I saw a pool of blood that dyed the white snowfield red.

There was no color on the white face in contrast to the red blood.

“Lia, he needs to get treatment quickly, his condition is not that good.”

Nathan, the owl who was hanging on my shoulder, told me about the condition of the man. With that serious though, I bit my lips hard.

So by putting Nathan’s words together, he was destined to die soon.

Messy posture, intermittent shallow breathing, and constant red blood flowing from his abdomen.

The man was no different from the return note*.

* 반송장 : a person who is very old or ill and becomes like a dead person.

“Lia, it won’t take long with your power.”

Nathan is right. I, who have the mysterious power to heal people, can definitely save that man.

But, why does it have to be that man?

Even in that bloody state, I noticed at once who he was.

I couldn’t help but know.

Black thorns that start from the heart to the neck.

This was a sign of the curse. And the only one who has this curse.

Who has the power equivalent to the imperial authority. The young owner of the Duchy of Sinaize.

‘Dillian Sinaize…’

The cold blooded man with no blood or tears, he, the mastermind of this story.

“Calling other people is…”

“It’s an hour at the longest. Can’t stand until then.”

I frowned at Nathan’s time limited sentence.

This is the entrance of the forest, the place where I have discovered Dillian, and it takes an hour to go to the village by foot.

As Nathan said, he couldn’t last long.

‘In the end, is this the only way?’

He is said to be a dangerous man, but I can’t abandon a person who is soon to be dying.

‘But what if my healing ability got caught?’

What if the temple recognizes me? What if I got caught again?

Anxiety stretched from tail to tail.

“Lia.”

“Got it.”

If life is a series of choices, all my choices today have already failed.

Herbs gathering, leaving work early, both.

What leaving work early, while taking a shortcut, I ran into Dillian who became a return note.

“Haa.”

Heavy breath scattered in the air.

In the meantime, Dillian’s body temperature was falling at a rapid pace.

Now, it was time to decide.

“Nathan, can you bring the cart?”

“I’ll be right back.”

As expected, we can’t leave him like this.

‘Just treat the fatal state moderately then send him to the temple by wagon.’

Whether the conscious Dillian turns the temple upside down or not, it’s none of my business after that.

“Let’s do this. I can do it.”

As if responding to my cheer, his eyelids trembled.

“Are you awake?”

“…”

Red eyes, whose depth was unknown, stared at me.

“Please calm down. I’m not hurting you. I will heal your wound.”

I slowly reaching out my hand to stabilize the beast.

Tuk.

My wrist was caught.

The eyes that shone like rubies bent slowly.

At the time I was putting on a bewitching eye smile.

Strong power pulled me, and soon after, my vision was reversed. It was an incredible power to believe that he was in the state just about to run out of breath.

“Ugh.”

My back hurts when I hit the hard frozen ground. And I frowned at the numb pain.

Dillian who climbed up on my waist, looked at me and folded his drowsy eyes.

He breathes while putting on a seductive smile that can captivate people.

‘This is dangerous…’

With that excessively dangerous face, I chewed my lips. Then Dillian’s gaze turned into my lips.

After looking at my lips for a long time, he smiled while bowing down his upper body as it was.

Approaching closer, his hair tickles my cheeks, a hot breath scattered on my face.

‘What’s wrong with this person suddenly?’

I carefully pushed his shoulder.

“Sorry, I think we are too close? First, back down a bit…”

Unfinished words are scattered in the air.

Wiggle. A black shadow crawled up on the man’s cheek like a snake.

As I moved my eyes along the thorns that stretched to the edge of his eyes, I was entangled by the drugged drunken looking eyes.

‘I can’t believe it.’

A subtle touch on the cheek was sending a clear signal.

So, If all of these symptoms are to be put together, this is…

‘A runaway.’

When I thought that far, I twisted his body like crazy.

“Hey! Dillian! Wake up! I say wake up! Hey!”

‘Dang, he spilled too much blood.’

There is only one way to quell Dillian’s runaway.

To take the life in front of him.

It doesn’t mean sexually, it literally means taking away life.

In short, currently I am, as it said, appetizing for Dillian’s meal.

“Dillian! I’m tastes bad! I’m tasted like a hundred percent organic cabbage juice flavor!”

You didn’t know how bad it tastes?

It tastes like mop washed water!

I shouted loudly, and it just stimulated Dillian.

By exposing my desire frankly, I forgot about the emergency, and just opened my mouth foolishly.

‘This crazy man, why do you like it more? Do you want to eat that bad?’

Dillian didn’t miss the moment when I was surprised and just rushed frighteningly.

Being drawn by blood, instinct, like a hungry beast.

‘I’m going to die if I stay like this!’

I shouted desperately while pushing Dillian face away.

“Nathan! Save me! I’m going to be eaten!”

“I’ve never seen such a shameless man like this! Get away from Lia right now!”

Nathan, who flew quickly to my scream, pulled out Dillian hair by its sharp claws.

The owl’s little gesture was just a ticklish feeling for Dillian.

But it was enough to create a very small gap.

I pushed Dillian’s face with one hand, stuttered with the other hand and stretched it to the ground.

Something hard touched my fingertips.

Even before I recognized what it was, I grabbed it and slapped it on Dillian’s head.

Paak-

With dull noise,

Sraak-

Dillian fell over me.

After quickly pushing Dillian away, I moved my body.

Tuk, a big stone fell from my hand.

A heavy silence fell.

“…Lia.”

“…Sshhh, don’t say anything.”

Dillian Sinaize.

A cursed monster Duke, this novel’s mastermind. The source of destruction.

A man who can be called the strongest.

And I just hit the villain’s head with a big stone.

Dang, I just coolly put a dead flag.

Chapter 1. Reincarnated as an extra. But just got a dead flag.

From where did it go wrong?

By taking a shortcut, leaving other numerous paths? Have no choice but to heal Dillian? Or by bringing him to my house?

No, that’s all, no.

It’s already wrong since I opened my eyes in this troubled world.

I looked at the pretty guy lying straight on the bed with watery eyes.

It was such a breathtakingly beautiful face.

The black hair covering the forehead is as soft as silk, and the skin as clear as smooth pottery.

A tall nose and straight lips, with a sharp jawline.

It was like a sculpture made by God.

The word beautiful is not enough to express his face, but I can’t like him by knowing his identity.

‘I brought home the mastermind by hand… I must be crazy.’

The process of bringing Dillian from the forest was not easy.

As the sun set, snowstorms hit, and it was too far from the temple.

I have no choice but to bring him into the house.

Urgh, while grabbing my forehead I opened my mouth to Nathan.

“Nathan, you will save me when I’m in danger, right? You said you are my guardian.”

“Of course. I will protect you. But…”

With a different image from my usual self, Nathan asked worriedly.

“Do you know him? Did something happen to you with that guy?”

“We don’t know each other personally… It’s just that I knew him.”

“Is he dangerous?”

“Yup.”

“A very dangerous guy.”

And I hit this scary man in the back of the head with a stone.

As hard as he is lose his consciousness.

When Dillian wakes up, I who dares to hit his head in the back, may lost neck.

Cold sweat dripped down from my back.

“…Nathan. Shall we run away?”

I can’t kick out Dillian, so the only choice left is for me to go.

‘The treatment is done, so my work is finished.’

As I said, I don’t have to take care of the mess.

“In this weather?”

Hwiiing-

The fierce snowflakes knocked as if it were breaking the windows.

“Lia, you’re going to freeze to death.”

“But Nathan. With this man alone. I’m likely can’t sleep because of nervous!”

“Isn’t his face, your type of face.”

“That face? It’s not tho? It’s not my type.”

By pretending not to know, Nathan’s eyes become cold.

“Lia. All the guys you said were handsome are looking like that.”

“…Tsk.”

“Don’t worry. No matter how beastly he is, he is likely not gonna harm his benefactor.”

‘Yes. As Nathan said. He is likely won’t kill his lifesaver.’

With that thought, I covered Dillian with my favorite blanket.

What contradiction is this, while you say hating it with your whole body, Nathan muttered but I couldn’t hear it.

As I come out to the living room, I kneel and put my hands together. Praying to God who I usually didn’t even look for.

‘Please, I hope Dillian forgot about all of this…’

I prayed and prayed for a long night.

Without knowing what the prayer would bring.
