Chapter 32 - The Monster Duke Mistook Me for His Wife

“Ria!”

Nathan, who found Ria, flew quickly and saved her.

The butterflies, which confirmed the reunion between Ria and Nathan, flew away and turned as light.

As if, their role is up to here.

“This is, why did it become like this?”

Nathan could not hide its bewilderment. Looking at Ria’s state, Harris is also bewildered.

“It is dangerous if we leave it like this.”

The divine power must be stopped immediately. However Ria is in an unconscious state.

They couldn’t touch the divine power if the user itself couldn’t control it.

Dillian’s face sank as the only two of the group who knew about the divine power were at a loss.

“Don’t tell me, you don’t know how to solve it, huh?”

If they say so, they will be on the verge of death. 

An emotionless cold eyes. Ludo flinched at that cold look.

It is a familiar face. It was the look he saw everyday until just a month ago.

But Ludo couldn’t be happy.

‘We’re in trouble. His Grace is angry.’

Even before he lost his memory, he has had so many angry moments.

Ludo quietly stepped out of his place and made room for Ria to lie down.

It seemed faster to treat Ria here than to move her to another place first.

“First of all, lay her down here.”

Nathan looked at Ria lying down in the place that Ludo made.

‘So, it’s a divine amplification.’

Nathan does not remember teaching Ria that skill.

To be exact, I didn’t teach it on purpose. Because Ria hasn’t grown yet.

So I taught her to grow plants first. As if a child were learning to walk, step by step.

‘But where did she learn this method in the wrong way?’

It was a method that it would never have taught her, and if it was Ria, she would never have used it.

“Nathan.”

Nathan opened its mouth to the eyes telling it not to just stay still and say anything.

“I’ll give you a brief description of the state. Ria is now a glass jar full of water. But the glass jar just cracked.”

Because the divine power suddenly exploded, Ria’s body was cracked somewhere.

“There’s a crack, so the water will leak through the narrow gap. The problem is that the jar doesn’t dry up. The water will continue to flow, so the stream will get stronger. The hole that used to be small will get bigger.”

And in the end, boom.

“It will completely broken.”

Ria’s body, which failed to withstand the bursting of divine power, will be broken.

“Then, don’t we just have to block that gap?”

“Yeah, that’s all we have to do.”

Nathan nodded at the eyes as if to say ‘you know the method but why didn’t you block it’.

“So, Dillian. You do it.”

“What?”

Dillian, who was wiping Ria’s forehead that was wet with cold sweat, frowned.

“With your curse, put down Ria’s divine power.”

If Harris or itself, who has divine power, touches Ria’s body, like the story before, the divine power will pour out faster.

However, what if it is Dillian’s curse that is the opposite of Ria’s divine power?

Sometimes medicine becomes poison, and sometimes poison becomes medicine.

This is the only way. Only this brat can do. 

“But my curse might be eating up Miss Ria’s divine power.”

“You have to control it.”

To have the person who does not have memory to do it. It can look stubborn.

But Nathan believes. Dillian will succeed.

“I’ve felt Ria’s divine power countless times, so it shouldn’t be hard. If you get in contact with Ria, you’ll feel it.”

You’ll feel the divine power, it says? Harris flinched at their conversation.

But no one cares.

With Nathan’s confident voice, Dillian looked down at Ria.

Dillian slowly lowered his head.

It was an instinctive act. The hot breath broke on his lips.

Just before their lips touched, Dillian turned his head.

The place where his lips are headed is Ria’s neck.

Dillian with his lips placed on the place that is closest to the heart, revealed his teeth. 

“Uck.”

Zap, Ria frowned at the pain that came up. Even though she lost consciousness, she couldn’t help but be hurt.

Dillian soothingly stroked Ria’s cheek and breathed in stillness.

Ria twisted her body in pain when the divine power and the curse met.

“Uuck, uck.”

Dillian hugged Ria’s body that refused him with all his might, concentrating all his nerves.

‘Damn it.’

Diliian, who had his lips on Ria’s neck, sneered at one self.

Ria suffered so much that her body, in an instinct, poured out the divine power.

If I lost any concentration just a bit, I might have swallowed Ria.

“You can just hold her hand…”

Nathan didn’t know whether to be angry or not at the event in front of it.

However the effect was clear as the method was radical.

The divine power, which strongly rejected Dillian, gradually reduced its size.

Soon after, Ria’s breath slowly stabilized.

“… I never thought, that brat’s curse would help.”

Nathan breathed a sigh of relief.

“Haa.”

Dillian, who managed to control the curse, also breathed his breath.

Looking at Ria who sleeps peacefully with moderate breathing, Dillian, lay beside her.

“Is Miss Ria also having such a hard time?”

“Do you think Ria is you? She doesn’t feel tired just because of that.”

Even at this moment, Nathan did not stop boasting about Ria.

“That’s a relief.”

Haha, when he was taking a breather with a burst of loud laughter, the communication device on Dillian’s waist turned red.

〈You Grace! Where are you? Are you okay?〉

Despite Kanae’s urgent voice, Dillian’s nerves were only on Ria.

Harris replied, replacing Dillian, who was not even in the right mind to respond to Kanae.

“It’s me. Dillian is with me. We also found Nathan-nim.”

〈Harris-nim? Is His Grace is really all right?”〉

“This brat is always all right. Why? Is there something wrong?”

〈We found a number of assassins here. We have taken care of this side. Is on Harris-nim’s side okay?〉

“We’ve also taken care of everything here. Everyone’s safe.”

〈It’s a relief. Shall we go there?〉

“No. Let’s meet outside.”

After completing the communication, Harris tapped Ludo’s arm, who was still blushing and stuttering.

“Ludo, get yourself together, let’s get out.”

“Ah, yip, yip!”

Perhaps it was a very provocative scene for a seventeen year-old boy, Ludo creaked as if he had broken down.

It was fascinating to see the group of assassins removed with his creaky body.

Harris, who left Ludo behind, who was good at work even if he was left alone, looked at Dillian’s back as he went ahead.

“Stay away. Miss Ria will feel uncomfortable.”

“You brat, who must hug her right. Ria will feel uncomfortable.”

Having a normal bickering with Nathan now.

‘No, it’s hard to say that’s his usual self.’

He couldn’t forget the fierce eyes, and anxious face when Ria might be going wrong.

‘Don’t tell me, really…’

Harris could not take his eyes off Dillian, who hugged Ria as if he held the most precious thing in the world.

***

In the deep night when everyone was asleep, a big laugh came out of one room.

“They said there was a woman, so it was true.”

The man chuckled because he could not believe what he heard.

“The almighty Dillian Sinaize? Woman?”

“Yes, he went back while hugging the fainted woman carefully.”

The only surviving man that did not get ordered to remove Dillian, instead only to watch on the side, bowed his head.

“That’s right.”

At first, I didn’t believe he lived with a woman. What do you mean woman, for a man who went to find herbs at the crown prince’s order. That’s ridiculous.

I aimed at the woman with half a doubt, but I didn’t know it would really work.

“Lexter-nim, shall we try one more time?”

Lexter shook his head at his subordinate’s careful question.

“Forget it. I think that’s enough.”

Lexter smirked at his subordinate’s face that looked like he did not understand well.

“We got the almighty Dilian Sinaize’s weakness, so it’s a good harvest.”

Stupid thing. Didn’t my sister say that? Never make anything precious.

At the laughter, the corners of his mouth were pulled up.

“What do you think? Will Dillian come back while bringing her?”

“He won’t leave her behind. Dillian cherishes her much more than what Lexter-nim thinks.”

Unlike before, the subordinate, who was talking in a confident voice, hesitated and added.

“But, Dillian was a little weird.”

“Weird?”

The one who’s under a curse can’t be normal.

Lexter, who did not think much of it, frowned at the story.

“It didn’t seem to be the usual Dillian Sinaize. The atmosphere was milder than usual, and he was smiling all the time.”

“He must have changed since he got something precious.”

“It’s not like that, he was really like someone else.”

He can not describe it well, but he does not think it was Dillian he has ever seen.

“As if he lost memory…”

Lexter flinched at the self murmur.
