The Tyrant Mistook Me for a Companion

Chapter 64:

“Hey, hold on!”

I hurriedly reached out to cover Leon’s lips.

Leon closed his eyes as if he had expected my attitude, smiled, and did not come any closer.

I leaned back as much as I could to avoid the large shadow that was cast close, but Leon’s hard arms still supported me easily.

Leon’s hair touched my forehead, soft and tickling.

“I still…so.”

My heart is not ready… No. This isn’t it.

I almost got swept away.

In a hurry, I quickly pushed Leon’s chest and escaped from his arms.

“We can’t.”

“Why?”

“Because…you have a companion, and I have a companion…….”

“Is it okay if I don’t have a companion?”

He spat out his words like it was so simple.

But in my head, I still clearly pictured Leon, who had kissed Janice.

“What you saw then. Princess Janice has acted at her own disposal.”

“She must have liked you.”

He couldn’t resist fate.

But I couldn’t bear to say it.

“Elle, I recognize you.”

“……Yes, it seems.”

“I’m supposed to not recognize you, but God must have felt sorry for me.”

Leon gently grabbed my hair and smiled softly as he let go.

“I begged, and he listened to that one. What a bloody fate.”

His eyes quickly turned dark. The eyes, which had a vivid red colour, soon turned black.

“I can do anything for you.”

Leon narrowed his brows by looking at my pattern covered by accessories.

“I can engrave the same pattern as you on the other wrist.”

“Leon, don’t do that.”

“That’s how desperate I am. I’m desperate.”

He buried his face on my shoulder as if he were falling apart.

“I’ll overcome my fate no matter what. So please don’t block the road that leads to you.”

“……Leon.”

“You can just stay where you are. Don’t run away or hide.”

My heart was pounding and I couldn’t breathe because of the pain.

I couldn’t say no to Leon’s watery voice. Because I also had Leon in my heart.

Is it wrong that I brought you here?

Maybe my greed ruined everything. I just wanted to live…….

It was difficult to face Leon directly with the unknown guilt.

Unknowingly, I held Leon in my arms and cried as the tears flowed constantly.

“Ugh…I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

I didn’t have the courage to just run away. It bothered me that I didn’t think I could overcome it with you.

Slowly raising his head, Leon’s face was stained with tears like mine.

When our eyes met, I didn’t think of anything. I just wanted to make the smile spread on that sad face.

It was the same with Leon, whose lips touched my flowing tears.

Heat rose over my cheeks where his red lips touched. Fluffy hair stood up everywhere the hot breath touched.

From eyes to cheeks and trembling lips.

Leon wiped the tears with his lips, affectionately and cautiously. In time, his warm lips overlapped over my lips.

When I closed my open lips, I felt a soft touch.

“Uh….”

Bear Moon Leon’s lips were infinitely sweet.

There was no sense of reality as if it would melt and disappear if I bite it.

The eyes were slowly closed, and different tears flowed down from before.

I was so happy, I didn’t want this moment to go away.

Leon hugged tightly around my waist and dug deeper into me.

Edgar stared at Janice, who was slowly sitting in front of me.

“So, why did you call me here?”

“I made an appointment with Lady Elle. And I thought I’d have to talk to you separately…….”

“Well, thank you for calling me.”

Edgar took a sip of the tea he had brewed with a languid look.

“And I don’t know why, but I don’t think it’s a loss because it’s made the Count’s health known.”

“That’s true, too.”

He did not deny it. It wasn’t wrong.

But that was it. Edgar didn’t open his mouth after that.

“I didn’t expect Count Edgar to come this far.”

Delther appeared as soon as he heard the news. Janice’s eyes were wide open, startled by his appearance.

“Janice.”

“……Your Highness the Crown Prince.”

“Do I have to hear this from my servant?”

“I don’t need to inform you of my guests, do I?”

Janice answered in an effortless calm voice.

Isn’t it a fact that the relationship between Count Velois and Delther is not good.

But I didn’t expect him to come so soon.

“Your Highness the Crown Prince was so busy that I didn’t tell you everything about me. It was a consideration of my own.”

Delther’s lips twitched at her words.

Edgar, who saw the two of them, watched with a relaxed expression.

‘Janice must be in trouble in a place like this.’

He tapped the table with his fingers and smiled.

“Your Highness must have nothing to say when he sees me.”

Edgar’s mouth finally dropped. Delther’s eyes slowly turned from Janice to Edgar.

“Should I say a welcome greeting?”

“Not that. I’m sure you have something to talk about.”

His eyes narrowed.

Having done something to Edgar, he seemed to react sensitively because he thought Edgar might harm Janice.

“You look pretty healthy, contrary to the rumours, everyone seems to have been worried about you.”

“Is that so?”

Edgar tapped his chin and smiled low. He had a very embarrassed face, but it was obvious that he tried not to show it.

He rose from his seat and faced Delther.

“Well, I’ll get going now. A present will be sent to the royal family soon.”

“……Present?”

“One more thing.”

Edgar whispered a little in Delther’s ear.

“If you put even one finger on my daughter, the princess you love will cease to exist.”

“……Count Edgar.”

His teeth are gritted.

Delther clenched his fist and bit his lips.

What he said to him was not a warning. He really said it out of his mouth with the intention of doing so.

“I believe you understand.”

“What you just said is–“

“It would be a shame if such words were dismissed as treason. Treason is……. It’s not this lame thing.”

At Edgar’s words, Delther’s body hardened. Still, he made no objections.

He couldn’t be nervous, so he was filled with anger. His eyes pinged and turned. Mana began to flutter.

“Oh, Count Edgar. I hope to make an appointment again next time.”

Janice hurriedly grabbed Delther’s hand and opened her mouth.

My whole body trembled to live, but I endured it by biting my lips.

‘I called Count Edgar, so he must not suffer any hurt.’

If Leon finds out about it, I’ll take all the blame.

I didn’t like it. Being hated by Elle was like being hated by Leon.

So far, Elle has shown no hostility to me, but this time again, I don’t know what will happen if Delther harms Edgar.

“Please, let him go quietly. Your Highness, there is no good in making a fuss.”

“What does that mean?”

“Your Majesty knows it too. That I invited Count Edgar.”

“……Father knows.”

Delther was dull and relaxed. How far are they looking at and acting?

He eventually survived. Edgar chuckled and looked at Janice and Delther, then said.

“Princess Janice, this place doesn’t seem right for you.”

“…….”

Janice’s eyes shook wildly. The tone was different from what others had heard.

Edgar’s eyes, which were looking at me pitifully, even made me feel comforted.

‘Lady Elle is loved. By a person like that…’

Isn’t he different from my father? Greed popped out again when she saw Edgar.

“Well, then, bye. If you need a friend to talk to next time, please find me.”

Edgar grinned at Janice and escaped from the drawing-room.

Delther tried to suppress the rising anger and asked Janice.

“What on earth did you think of doing this? Are you crazy because you want to die?”

“No, I don’t want to die.”

“Then! What are you thinking!”

Ha.

There was no end even if he pressed down his anger. These two had no idea of Edgar’s relationship with Janice, so it was natural.

Because no one has ever heard of Janice being Edgar’s nephew.

“I, Your Highness, there’s a big problem…… Ah. You were with the Princess.”

The servant who was looking for Delther hurriedly found Janice and cleared his throat.

“Excuse me for a moment.”

The servant glanced at Janice and approached Delther and handed him a letter.

Delther, who had read all the writings, crumpled up the paper.

“Guide me right now.”

Who dares kill my knights?

I couldn’t believe that not a single person had survived.
