The Tyrant Mistook Me for a Companion

Chapter 77:

 

Edgar swallowed a smirk at Leon, who was much calmer.
He know how to control it like that, but why didn’t he do it and caused the explosion.
Apparently his controls are Elle.

“Leon, are you feeling better now?”

Elle carefully examined Leon’s body.
He looked better than before, but he was still anxious.
Come to think of it, I’ve never seen Leon go wild. Maybe he’s been hiding it from me.
Considering Leon’s personality, it was not impossible.

‘It’s clear that mana’s explosion often occurs to the point where it’s impossible to control.’

Fortunately, nothing happened which caused Leon to not recognize me.
That alone was a great relief to Elle.

“……I think I’ve paid off my debts.”

Edgar plumped into a chair and crossed his legs.
Seeing Leon dying and his daughter whining, he had a lot of thoughts.

“This guy is good at annoying people.”

Tsk.
However, his expression was mild, unlike his tone.
Somehow, a smile seemed to spread around his mouth, Edgar was uncomfortable in his seat.
He felt awkward as he doesn’t act like his usual self.
Edgar tried to erase the thoughts that came to mind and asked Leon.

“So what are you going to do?”

“I’m ready.”

“Ready?”

Leon glanced at Elle.
At the same time Edgar also saw Elle. It would certainly be hard for him to talk comfortably here.
Elle is the center of the plan, isn’t she.

‘I’ll have to talk about this separately.’

Leon did not elaborate.
If he told her, she may have to knock it down before he even try the plan.
He didn’t want to give up now because there was nothing more certain than that.
Because it was nothing but Elle’s life at stake.

“No, I’ll take care of this.”

“What are you going to do?”

Elle held Leon’s hand with her eyes wide open.

“Don’t do anything. Father, too!”

Stop thinking! Don’t touch anyone.
Delther had a pretty big mana. Edgar was also beaten, so he shouldn’t be touched.

“Don’t touch Janice. This is for all of us.”

It was obvious that a crazy person would be out of control because he lost the person he loved.
That will eventually lead to the original.
It means that the joy of feeling that the original was slightly played is short-lived.
My death was waiting at the end of the original story. That means everything I’ve done so far is a waste.

“I won’t do anything unless she touches me first.”

That’s the problem. Janice’s not the type to stay still.

“Do she know that father, that Princess Janice is a cousin of mine?”

“Do you think the emperor would have told her?”

“No.”

Yeah, I shouldn’t have said that.
Elle shook her head and groaned.

“Then can’t we talk and get it out?”

“If it was so easy, we wouldn’t have to worry about it like this.”

“Well, yes.”

Janice did not have good feelings for the royal family either.
I think it’ll be okay if we can convince her well…….

“Elle, it’s not that I don’t know your heart.”

Leon looked at Elle holding her hand and tucked her red hair behind her ears.

“Not everyone can think like you.”

“I know that, but…….”

Is there no way for everyone to be happy?

Knock, knock, knock.

“Master, a message came from the royal family.”

“…A message?”

A shadow hung over Leon’s face. Somehow I had an ominous hunch.
Soon after, Caven came in and handed over a letter bearing the royal pattern.
He slowly pulled it out of the envelope and read down.

“…Ha.”

The royal family knew everything.
There was no turning back now.
Janice used him for her selfish heart.
And Leon also intended to use her for his selfish heart.

“Leon, what does it say?”

“It’s not a big deal. I think they wants me to come and say hello to the emperor now that I’m the master of the tower.”

He immediately burned the letter.

“Is that really all?”

“Yes, Elle. Would you mind leaving for a moment?”

At Leon’s words, Elle rose from her seat. She was nervous about leaving him with Edgar alone.

“Am I really going out?”

“Daughter, don’t be clingy and go out.”

Edgar whipped Elle’s body around and kicked her out of the door.
Elle, who was unexpectedly kicked out, blinked in bewilderment and looked back.
Elle and Caven looked at each other at the tightly closed door and laughed awkwardly.

* * *

“What were you thinking?”

Delther shout, letting go of Janice’s hand.
Leon could not have felt the same way just because he came into the royal family. He don’t think she don’t know that.

“Your Highness and I would be better not being companions.”

Janice looked at her red wrist and bit her lips.

“Your Majesty doesn’t care who Leon is. Because he just want power.”

Furthermore, I was his subordinate who looked like my mother.

“You saw it today, too, right? The eyes of His Majesty who was looking at me.”

How can that be the eyes of a father looking at his daughter.
It was disgusting and I almost threw up.
Ha, Delther, who is saying this, was no different.
At this point, is there no proper person in the royal family?
It was surprising to hold out without being ruined. I shouldn’t have been caught until the end.
I was a fool myself, thinking that a better life would be waiting for me when I came to the royal family.

“……That’s why I’m protecting you.”

Delther looked at Janice, who was filled with tears, and he was furious.
Why does she always think, decide, and carry it all by herself.
Now that he was her companion, shouldn’t he share it with her.

“I can’t give up on you.”

“No, you will.”

“I guess you’ve forgotten. If neither of them dies, we will be attracted to each other.”

Delther took a step closer to Janice.
The desire in his eyes drew her back again.

“Don’t come near me.”

“Then why can’t you push me? You must also recognize me as a companion little by little.”

Maybe God is taking my side now.

“Just looking at your face makes me boil. My heart beats like crazy and my whole body is itching to have everything about you.”

Delther’s hand stroked Janice’s cheek lightly.

“You’re just like me. Because of that bloody pattern.”

This is the end of being so obsessed with patterns. Smile spread around his mouth.

“……I will refuse to the end.”

“Yeah, do it if you can.”

Janice could not push back even though Delther’s face was approaching.
As he hugged her waist and his lips approached, her heart beat violently, unlike her head.
Something crazy seemed to be happening.
Janice turned her head and barely avoided the approaching Delther. At the same time, she remained motionless in his arms.
They could feel each other’s warmth, but she couldn’t push Delther away
The shape of the pattern drawn on the wrist became darker and shone.
Delther hugged Janice tightly and buried his head on her shoulder.
Immediately, he stared at Janice, fully revealing his repressive feelings.
Without blinking his eyes, he caught the image of Janice in his eyes. He shook her head as if she didn’t want to miss a thing.
Heat bloomed all over the body just by looking at each other.

“De, Delther…….”

I have to stop, or I would be stuck with him.
I hated this moment when we were coveting each other as if we were destined to be sucked into each other.

“Stop it!”

Huh, huh.

Janice pushed Delther away with difficulty. Her whole body melt as she sat on the floor and sobbed.

“Why, why… Why on earth are you doing this to me?”

She just wanted to be happy. Is it wrong to think about getting out of here?
Delther sat down in front of her and crumpled his face to see Janice crying.
Does she hate him so much that she despise him?
Why. He has been sincere to her every time.
I’ve never had a doubt in my mind. I just couldn’t reveal it because of the label of half sister.
From the first time he saw her, Delther had already been unable to escape from Janice.

“……Why on earth do you hate me so much?”

He was overlooking it.
How his obsession with Janice has resulted.
This was the result of being coercive, forcing his heart.

“It’s pathetic of you to ask because you don’t know.”

Janice got up from her sitting and rattled past him.

“Don’t touch me again.”

“What if you want me?”

“Even so, I wouldn’t mean it.”

Janice wiped her lips with the back of her hand. At that moment, she remembered what she had done.

“Oh… I guess Leon must have felt this way.”

This disgusting feeling when you do unwanted skinship.
He must have felt that for me, too. The thought made me laugh.

“Even I did the same thing.”

What’s the difference between Delther and me.
Janice was overwhelmed with despair. It won’t make a difference even if she apologize to him now.
It was the same for her.
