The Obsessive Male Lead Found Out I'm Alive

“Kaiden, I…”

“I’ve been thinking about it.”

It was Kaiden who cut off Evelina’s words. Kaiden was smiling again with crazy eyes. He was smiling as he used to, but his lips seemed to cling together when he saw the blackened eyes and thin body.

He still had a large, frightening appearance, but he looked dark as if to show what had happened in the last eight months.

“Why did Lina run away from me?”

“Kaiden, I…”

“It’s because you don’t trust me.”

“…No, it’s not that I…”

“So let’s make it believable.”

Kaiden deliberately cut off Evelina’s words.

He also seemed to know why Evelina ran away from him while pregnant. If it was his child, there was no reason to run away. It was true that he was trying to save the Marquis of Logias, and there was no way she didn’t know. In the meantime, he thought she would accept his sincere actions for her, Evelina.

In reality, he realized that it was all acting.

He thought that wasn’t the reason she really ran away.

It was clear that she really was carrying someone else’s child. At first, he thought she might have run away with his own child. But if it was his child, there was no way she would leave him.

A knight who tried to run away with her. Usher Fronen, the bloodline of the Kingdom of Tenesi and a knight of the Guards and then an escort to Evelina.

Come to think of it, after his mother, the Princess of Tenesi, got pregnant before marriage and she was kicked out, she lived in Veron, she said.

He also understood why he took Evelina there.

The place where his mother gave birth to him. Veron, which was like his hometown. It was Usher Fronen’s child all right.

Otherwise, there was no way the situation or circumstances he saw would fit like this. Evelina, who even pretended to be dead and left him, it was clear that she knew that he would not let her go easily.

If so, the most reasonable doubt was that she was afraid because she had another person’s child.

“Kaiden, listen to me. I am… Ugh…”

“Follow me. I don’t want to listen to Lina anymore.”

He grabbed Evelina by the arm and dragged her away. Evelina was stunned by his rough handling of her.

“Ah…”

At the same time, she was relieved that the arm he was dragging her had loosened before she knew it.

Evelina actually wanted to say sorry. Because she found all her memories. But she didn’t know why he killed Usher. She wondered how a person could do that.

“Why did you kill Usher?”

“Didn’t you say he was the father of your child?”

“I never said that.”

“Then what kind of bastard are you?”

Kaiden was still smiling, but he didn’t seem to be laughing at all. Evelina felt as if he was forcing himself to laugh to contain his anger.

It’s your child. Evelina thought she should say that.

But he was the one who killed Usher before her eyes. Usher was the one who saved her and took her out of this palace. He would have been a man who would have been reinstated to Tenesi for the right amount of money from her, and his status as a prince would have been reinstated. He died so miserably because of her.

The thought drove her to tears with guilt. Rather, it was better to have a lot of memories and make her head dizzy. It was the time when she couldn’t open her eyes because she was dizzy and upset with the nausea caused by a mixture of carriage sickness and memories.

“What? Tell me. I’ll decapitate any bastard.”

“Kaiden.”

“Don’t call me. I don’t want to hear any more.”

He was pulling Evelina again and moving. Evelina was looking for Ianathas in the meantime. She was told he was back in the army. He may run the guards, but he was not seen near Kaiden, as if he was not directly involved in the guards.

“Who are you looking for? Are you looking for a new man?”

“Kaiden.”

“I guess you weren’t satisfied with sleeping with me.”

“Oh, no, that’s….”

Flamed with shame, she couldn’t speak and dropped her head. The gaze of the knights around her stung her as if she had been pricked.

Evelina kept her mouth shut and was dragged by him.

~~~~

The place she arrived was an audience room.

“Bring it.”

“But, Your Majesty. In the audience room…”

Kaiden gestured at Evelina to sit in the Empress’ seat, and then he sat down as she sat down.

“Bring it, Ruskun.”

Ruskun Weimar saw him order and wondered why he, the prime minister, had to do this, but Kaiden’s condition was so bad that he had to nod and go out to carry out the order.

“Kaiden, why are we here?”

He looked at her quietly. When Evelina saw his bright red eyes, her heart seemed to tighten again.

The way he looked to her while she didn’t remember. And the memory of promising marriage as a child. He’s been treating her that way he was since he married her.

“The reason Lina ran away from me is because she didn’t trust me.”

“…yes.”

That was then. But not now. The Marquis of Logias, who was as good as a biological father to her, was actually the one who used to use her, and the Marchioness of Logias, who cared for her like a biological mother, just watched him.

When Evelina realized it, the betrayal still lingered in her heart.

“So I’m going to make you believe it.”

“Well, you don’t have to…”

“Your Majesty, they are at the door.”

Less than five minutes later, a soldier who was guarding the front of the door of the audience room came in and told Kaiden.

“Tell him to bring it.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

Evelina felt heartbroken that Kaiden no longer saw her. She kept looking at him. But his eyes were now looking ahead, not her.

“S,save me! Help me, Your Majesty!”

It was the voice of Baroness Elias.

“Ah…”

Evelina recognized the voice of Baroness Elias, who had been rude to her and disappeared, and looked at her.

Baroness Elias, had dark brown hair with blood on her head. There were blood stains all over the face, and the lips were cracked.

“Your Majesty! I have sinned to death! Please, save me! I made a mistake! Your Majesty!”

Baroness Elias, was tied to a knight behind her and her head was pressed to the ground.

“Don’t press her, get out of the way.”

Kaiden rose from his seat and walked near Baroness Elias. Then the ordered knights stepped aside and bowed.

“Tell me what you said.”

“I, I, I…”

“Say it.”

At Kaiden’s order, Baroness Elias began to cry and shook her chin. Her tears were making white marks on her dirty face.

“Logias, Marquis, will die soon… Maj, Your Majesty, the Empress, will receive a bereavement, a lie…”

Her body shuddered so much that Baroness Elias could barely speak.

“Yes, I see. No wonder Lina doesn’t trust me.”

– Bang!

“Oh, my god!”

At that moment, Baroness Elias was shot. Then she fell forward.

“Next.”

The next knight came at Kaiden’s order.

“Let go! Let go! How dare you! Kaiden! Have you forgotten that I am your grandmother? Argh!”

Dowager Empress Isabella was haggardly dragged out. She took a breath as if she would faint when she saw the dead Baroness Elias, who was bleeding.

“Huh! Let go of me!

Evelina remained still, trembling and hardened in the seat of the Empress.

“I couldn’t make a proper home for you, me.”

“Ka, Kaiden. How did I raise you? Huh? Kaiden!”

“When my grandmother first bothered Lina, I should have done this.”

Kaiden was thrusting a gun to the jaw of his grandmother.

“Stop it!”

The moment Evelina says so.

– Bang!

“Eek…”

A bullet was fired between the legs of Queen Isabella.

“Stop it, please.”

Evelina cried and begged.

“Then you won’t continue to believe me.”

Kaiden said coolly and loaded the gun again. Then Evelina came crawling with legs that she couldn’t stand because she was shaking and grabbed him by the leg.

“This is not it! Kaiden, please… This… This is not it.”

Evelina spoke in fear, but Kaiden’s expression was cold.

“Then why did you embrace another man?”

“Th, that’s…”

– Bang!

“Ugh!”

“I missed.”

Kaiden’s bullet lodged in the calf of his grandmother.

“I’ll make sure it doesn’t hurt any more due to your affection.”

He loaded the gun again.

“Please! Kaiden!”

“Well, tell me. Say I love you again with those hateful lips.”

Evelina, who saw his eyes return as they used to, couldn’t answer and looked up at him.

“Don’t do this. You’re not this kind of person.”

Evelina’s crying and talking caught his eye. But he was now a man who wouldn’t melt to her tears.

“This is who I am, Lina.”

– Bang!

“AH!”

The Dowager Empress was not dead. It was just that she fainted in shock when the gun he shot just missed his neck.

“Ah…”

The shock knocked Evelina out, too.

“I will do anything to keep you.”

Kaiden, who embraced her stunned body, looked at Ruskun as it was and commanded with a wink. Then, he headed straight to the bedroom of the Emperor’s Palace.

Kaiden had realized now. She didn’t love him just because she treated him like she used to. Then he had to make sure she couldn’t abandon him even if she was bound by her fear.

Because he wasn’t meant to live without her.

~~~~

“Why are you doing.. this?”

As Evelina saw the skins of two large cats that had killed her birds, which were raised by Dowager Empress Isabella, beneath her feet.

“Kaiden.”

Kaiden looked coldly at Evelina and pressed her shoulder. Evelina’s body touched the bed.

“How was Sir Fronen in bed?”

“…Kaiden.”

“It must be clear that he was more satisfying than me.”

He continued, pressing her down.

“For the knight who was assigned to escort you to spread your legs.”

Evelina wrapped her arms around Kaiden’s neck first as she saw him coming closer to her. She hoped he would come back to his senses.
