The fake wants to leave

‘Ian is losing his demonic power because of my blood?’

Charlize looked at Lua, narrowing her brows as if she couldn’t understand it at all.

Lua also found it difficult to understand the situation, making it difficult to explain.

This was the first time it had happened, so it was natural.

Lua moved away from Ian.

“As he said, drinking Charlize’s blood makes the evil energy disappear.”

“You know I don’t like lies, Father.”

Ian answered roughly, shrugging his shoulders.

Lua had a hunch that there would be quite a commotion if it got into the ears of other demons.

The situation would be difficult if the story of Charlize’s power reached the ears of demons who wanted to be human.

Because he couldn’t hide Charlize forever. Not only that, Charlize also wanted to leave somewhere in the first place.

And he didn’t want to lock her up either.

Lua broke the silence and opened his mouth.

“Charlize, do you really want freedom?”

Charlize nodded as if he was asking an obvious question.

“I’m also a human being, so I want to live independently, somewhere I can breathe properly.”

“I’m sorry to say, Charlize, but why don’t you just stay at the Duke of Rebecca’s residence?”

“Why?”

“There are several demons besides Ian who want to be human. It would be a big deal if they heard rumors that they could become human if they drink Charlize’s blood.”

“Will they fight for me?”

“It would be a relief if that happens. But I expect that perhaps they will drain all the blood from Charlize’s body.”

“That’s a pretty cruel way.”

“The demons want Charlize’s blood, not her body.”

Charlize laughed at Lua’s worried expression.

“It’s okay. I can’t be dead because of my family. I’m sure Tia won’t let me die either.”

“It’s not good to say it like this. It’s dangerous, Charlize. I don’t want to see Charlize in danger any more. Please, listen to me, okay?”

Charlize sighed as she watched Lua, who seemed to be at the verge of crying.

“Haa. All right. Since Lua is so worried, I’ll be stuck in the Duke of Rebecca’s residence per your request. However, if no rumours about my ability are spread, do not interfere with my freedom.”

“Okay.”

“Anyone who stands in the way of my freedom, even if it’s my dear Lua, I won’t let go easily.”

“Yes, yes. Charlize. I understand.”



To be honest, Lua didn’t think that Charlize would listen to him.

His contractor, who he doesn’t know what goes on her mind, had a strong desire for freedom. And he knew she would go any length to have her freedom.

In addition, she was stubborn and rarely listened to the other person.

Fortunately, however, it was a relief that she listened to him.

“Thank you very much for listening to me, Charlize.”

“Lua seemed like he was about to cry, so I agreed. It’s not something to be thankful for. I thought about listening to your request at least once.”

“……is that so?”

“Every time it’s Lua who listens to me, but I’ve never listened to you.”

Lua had great regard for Charlize, who had so far listened to all of her requests and orders.

“That’s a relief.”

Charlize was a little surprised at the sight of Lua, who took only these trivial things seriously.

‘Is this such a thing to be thankful for? I don’t understand.’

Charlize felt tired after talking so much.

“Lua. Let’s go into any room and rest. I’m tired.”

“Since there’s a chance that your sister might run away, why don’t you rest in the next room?”

Charlize, who thought Lua had a point, obediently followed him.

“You’re right.”

“Ian, you don’t have to follow us.”

“No. I’ll be by Charlize’s side. She may be in danger.”

“Do as you please.”

Lua wrapped his arm around Charlize’s shoulder and opened the door of the next room where Tia was staying.

And there they saw an impressive bed with a bright red blanket.

Lua led Charlize, who looked exhausted, into the room and laid her on the bed.

“Take a little rest, Charlize.”

“I won’t sleep. It’ll be difficult for Tia to find me.”

“It’s all right. You can take a nap if you’re tired.”

“Then I’ll take a quick nap.”

“Yes. I’ll stay by Charlize’s side, so don’t worry.”

Charlize closed her eyes with the sound of Lua’s stable voice.

Since coming to this island, her body has been struggling because she couldn’t let go of the tension.

In addition, she died several times and her mental pressure had risen.

A little break wouldn’t be bad.

Charlize fell asleep for a moment, feeling the presence of Lua and Ian who stood by her.

She felt sleepy when she relaxed.

‘I guess you can’t help it. Seeing you falling asleep quickly, maybe you’re too tired.’

Charlize fell into a dreamland, and Lua, who was guarding her, confirmed that she had fallen asleep, and strengthened the guard around her.

To protect his contractor.

No, to protect the one who saved him.



***



Charlize had trouble sleeping because of the chaos that was happening in Tia’s room.

John’s curse was acting up.

Harrison laid John on the bed.

“Argh!”

John screamed in pain as soon as Tia’s touch fell.

His red eyes gradually began to turn black.

It was proof that the curse had spread all over the body.

It happened while they were coming to Tia’s room because Tia took off her hand for a moment.

When Tia saw John in pain, Charlize’s death overlapped in her mind.

Perhaps the trauma of Charlize’s death still remained in her heart, Tia saw John’s struggle similar to Charlize’s death.

‘No, this isn’t Sister. It’s John.’

Tia hypnotised herself and tried not to see John as Charlize.

‘My sister is a beauty with black hair and mysterious golden eyes. Not like John. She’s different from how he looks.’

As she continued to capture John in her eyes, Tia went crazy because Charlize’s figure continued to overlap with John.

She was okay in the living room earlier, but she couldn’t understand what was wrong with her now.

Tia trembled in anxiety and couldn’t approach John.

Harrison looked at John, who looked like he was about to die, and turned his head toward Tia.

“Tia, at this rate, John is going to die.”

“…….”

“Tia. Wake up.”

“Your Majesty…I can’t approach John because he looks like Sister Charlize. It’s strange.”

Harrison approached Tia, who was half awake, and grabbed her by the shoulders.

And shook her carefully.

“Wake up, Tia. Charlize is resting in the next room. That’s John. Not the damn Charlize!”

“I know. But my heart feels like it’s going to explode.”

“Tia. Are you sure you don’t want John dead? Because he stood by Charlize’s death? But I was there too.”

“To tell the truth, I hate you guys so much for being so indifferent to Sister’s death. I can even kill you two with the amount of hatred. On the other hand, I feel sorry for him because he seems to have high hopes for me.”

“…I don’t mind your sympathy, Tia. Please save my beloved aide John.”

Harrison also cared very much for Tia’s men, which was a bit unbelievable.

John’s thinking matched his, and John was the only one who treated him normally.

In order to hog Tia, it was right to get rid of the competitor.

But John was his friend.

John and Harrison were friends even though they had fought over Tia.

Harrison pleaded to Tia for the first time.

He has never begged anyone this much.

“Please, even if you hate him, save John. Considering his affection for you. Tia.”

“…I want to save him. But I can’t move whenever I see him. It’s as if Sister Charlize is preventing me from saving John.”

“I’ll apologise to Charlize and agree to whatever she wants. I made a deal with her anyway. I promised to grant her a wish if she found you.”

“Why did you make that promise? I’m sure now Sister will want to leave our Rebecca family.”

“I wanted to find you. Besides me and John, the other two were also desperately looking for you. They might have gone crazy thinking about you even now.”

“Why is everyone obsessed with me? I just saved you guys because of sympathy. I think of you just my friends, nothing else.”

“It’s because we’re addicted to your kindness.”

“It’s a funny thing. If people from the empire know that even the Emperor is obsessed with a princess, they will mock you.”

“I don’t mind being mocked. Tia, you are our life and hope. I just want you to know that.”

“Argh!”

Harrison, who was clinging to Tia, jumped high when John screamed in pain.

“Tia, don’t you feel sorry for John?”

“Of course I do! However, I keep seeing Sister Charlize .”

Bang!

The quiet door opened with a rough sound.

There stood Charlize, looking tired and annoyed.

“Tia. I can’t sleep a wink because of John’s scream. Please do something about it. I’m going to die of frustration at this rate.”

“… Sister?”

Charlize sighed, sweeping up her bangs.

What a mess this is?
