There was no need to ask for more details, so Dalia decided to just keep her mouth shut.

Instead, Meldon decided to clean up all that he had been doing and to end his relationship with Count Williams. And each of them will go back to their hometown or leave to another area.

‘Yeah, leave quickly.’

Don’t stay here and run into Adrisha.

She can’t get the children who thanked her until the end out of her mind.

In addition, similar to Aceras, Meldon is a transcendent and will later be a duke. There was no need to be enemies with such a man.

No, but why are you on your knees? She doesn’t know why he did something she didn’t even ask.

“You owe me. Okay?”

“Yes, Miss Dalia. Someday, I’ll repay this favor twice as much.”

Somehow, it didn’t sound that sincere. Dalia glanced at Meldon.


‘You want me to report you now?’

Dalia seriously thought so, but then shook her head.

‘I’ll let it slide because I used to like you a long time ago.’

Then, she was terrified when a sudden realization flashed across her mind.

‘Goodness, if His Majesty hadn’t given me the ring, I’d be caught right away.’

Dalia recalled shaking hands with Meldon while serving in the morning.

Seriously, why is it that the transcendents who are said to be only five being born in each generation appear so often in front of her?

She looked down at her ring. Her mind became complicated because of the original story that she had forgotten.

‘Or, since Meldon is a male lead too, for the sake of the future, should I purify him in advance?’

Dalia lifted her head and looked at him. He nodded his head naturally.

Although she managed to prevent Hikan from becoming the final villain as in the original story, there was still the possibility that the other male leads such as Aceras and Meldon went crazy and started a war then kidnap Adrisha and threaten her.

Indeed, if the world flows according to the original route, the land will be ruined by the raging transcendents.

She had forgotten about it all this time. That the fundamental foundation of this world was a devastating R-19 reverse harem game.

‘For now……it’s still okay.’

The Meldon route begins in earnest with the reunion of Adrisha and Meldon.

The two haven’t met yet, and looking at him joking around like that, Meldon seems to be in a good condition.

‘By the way, why do Sir Cedric and Meldon know each other?’

At first, of course, she thought it was a lie.

But Dalia, who knew of the original, knew that he had never been caught with such a sloppy fraud for years.

If Cedric is behind him, the mystery is solved.

Meldon and Cedric.

It’s a combination that seems completely opposite to each other no matter who sees it. Actually, Cedric doesn’t get along well with anyone.

There was no mention of Cedric and Meldon being close in any of the original routes. Even when Cedric dies fighting him on the Meldon Route, the two don’t show any signs of them knowing each other at all.

‘Did they pretend to not know each other?’

Since it’s the first backstory that doesn’t appear in the original, she thought it would be good to know.

‘I’ll ask Sir Cedric about it later.’

For now, Dalia stepped back first.

Meldon couldn’t see her off because of his different appearance, so Aiden and Sally took her to the carriage instead.

Aiden spoke to her with an earnest look as he reached out his hand to get her on the carriage.

“That……thank you, Miss. He’s a really good person. He saved our lives.”

“……yeah.”

“And you saved our lives too, Miss. Thank you.”

Aiden bowed deeply.

It’s kind of annoying when Meldon bows, but she felt sorry for the children. Dalia became more disgusted with Meldon, who was cheating on these innocent children.

She said, holding him and Sally’s hand before leaving.

“I’m sorry I brought you something boring. Let’s do something more fun next time.”

Sally, who understood the meaning of the word first, raised her head in surprise and looked at Dalia.

Dalia smiled and waved her hand. The two also waved their hands.

“Whew.”

And just like that, the carriage started to move leaving the church behind.

Dalia sank down exhausted. Hikan put down the pile of documents that he was looking at while waiting for her.

Dalia glanced at the document. She can see there was the Holy Empire name written for some reason.

“I’m sorry, brother. I’m very late right?”

“I was going to go find you if it was a little later.”

Hikan said sternly.

Somehow she really thought he would do that, so Dalia smiled.

“I’m not going to say anything to you. I don’t think you’re the reason for the delay.…because I know the situation roughly.”

“…….”

“Should I go ahead and report those swindlers now?”

“N, no!”

Dalia covered Hikan’s mouth.

Then she gave a rough summary of what happened to her. She hesitated for a while and opened his covered mouth.

“Brother.”

“What’s wrong?”

“You know, about my power.”

Hikan’s body visibly stiffened. Dalia slowly speaks.

“I want to help others too when they’re in trouble someday, not just brother and the Emperor.”

“…….”

“What should I do in that case?”

“Is Viscount Arthur Pendleton a transcendent? Why are you saying that all of a sudden?”

Hikan sharply asked.

Dalia flinched in surprise at his response. Hikan saw that and bit his lips.

“……I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay.”

“Dalia.”

Hikan swept over his face, removed the cushion on his lap, and sat next to Dalia. She was a little surprised by his sudden behavior.

“Can you take off the ring on your finger?”

She was a little surprised, but in case he needed a purification, she simply took off her ring and put it on the cushion next to her. Then he placed her hand over Hikan’s.

Hikan looked at their hands.

“If I touch you like this.”

“…….”

“I don’t want to keep you away from me forever.”

It sounded embarrassing and awkward at first glance.

But that’s not what he’s trying to say. He looked straight into her eyes as he put the ring back on Dalia’s finger.

“And whoever can feel your power, whoever holds your hand will feel the same.”

“…….”

“Transcendents are born selfish and cold-blooded, even if their souls are not corrupted. I don’t want you to suffer because of them. That’s what I mean.”

It was heavy, but surely, his heart was conveyed. Dalia couldn’t say anything more.

He was right. It is dangerous to use her power recklessly without any preparation.

Perhaps it will only cause the original male leads’ obsession shifting from Adrisha to Dalia.

‘Then there’s only one way.’

Actually, being a transcendent doesn’t mean you’re crazy. There are two reasons why the male leads in the original went crazy.

First, they are transcendents.

Second, they were madly in love with Adrisha. They didn’t treasure their life to the extent that they pushed themselves into infinite destruction.

So she just has to get rid of the second reason. To prevent the male leads from obsessing over Adrisha by blocking the main turning points of the original.

Dalia looked up at Hikan determinedly.

‘Brother is my only success.’

Someone who, despite having met Adrisha, does not show any obsession towards her, nor goes crazy.

She will analyze the reasons for success through Hikan, and make all three remaining male lead candidates do the same.

Dalia’s eyes were filled with determination.

 

8. Adrisha’s Secret

While Dalia was meeting Meldon, Adrisha removed the towel from her head and stood up. Now she has recovered her physical strength enough to move.

She looked out the window. For some reason, she felt a gaze looking at her from somewhere. It kept on bothering her.

‘Am I being too sensitive?’

But it’s better to be overly sensitive than to be too obtuse. Adrisha has seen the consequences of a moment’s carelessness as she has been on several missions.

She patted a small gun on her thigh. From the beginning, the Emperor assigned her to protect Dalia. So now is the time to do her part.

She opened the window, pretended to ventilate it, and jumped down. It was the second floor, but  that was not a problem for her.

It was done in the hope that the hiding person would be surprised and disturbed his breathing, but there was still no clear sign of a presence.

Adrisha, however, leaned back against the wall and approached the back garden, pulled out the gun from her thigh and held it.

After a while, she took a deep breath and ran outside.

“…….”

There’s no one. Only an empty back garden was welcoming her.


‘…… Was it my imagination?’

Adrisha put the gun back in place. All of a sudden, sadness came over her.

‘What am I doing right now?’

But this is her true self.

She is neither a noble nor anything. When she was young, she learned to kill people. And now she’s deceiving everyone and naturally pretending to be a noble lady.

Will Dalia continue to like her even if she knows who she really is?

‘Who would like someone like me?’

She bit her lip. No, this is not the time for her to be sentimental.

Aceras has become the Pope. He is the only person who knows Dalia’s ability.

You never know when he will come after Dalia. She sighed and swept over her face.
