The Villain in the Side Story Wants to Live

It’s just nursing care, really

Is this the feeling that my stomach is rotting?

I felt the pain of insects eating my flesh with every breath.

My limbs were numb as if they had been electrocuted, and my head was spinning so hard that I couldn’t continue my thoughts.

I’m barely holding on to the thought that if I close my eyes, I’ll fall asleep forever, but I’m already at my limit.

Another one.

The moment I was about to feel dizzy, I heard footsteps from afar.

The footsteps of the person who made me this way.

But why?

The mere fact that she came here relieved her tension.

“You must not die!”

As if I was relieved.

It seems the poison I ingested was stronger than I thought.

Even if I came back to my senses, I would pass out again after a while, so I said it all.

Serena was always by her side in the scenes that flashed by every time she woke up.

“I must not die… I will never, never let you die.”

This time Serena Rani guards me with her hands trembling as if she is afraid.

Is that what you’re going to do after poisoning yourself?

“If my torture was too severe, you should have spoken…”

── Watching her look so regretful even though she wanted to, I realized that she wasn’t the culprit who poisoned her.

“I promised not to commit suicide… This is against the rules.”

If someone else prepared the food to kill Serena.

Maybe I accidentally ate it?

I even heard that.

“If you wake up, from now on…?”

Serena’s eyes were staring at me, and life came out.

“Who opened their eyes?”

Serena shook my shoulder urgently.

My vision fluctuates… Ah?

I’m awake.

“Kuluk… I lived and died.”

A dry cough kept pouring out as if breathing had finally been cleared.

“Are you feeling well?”

Her pain has subsided, but her body is still weak.

I wonder if her limbs are moving at all.

“I’m in a bad shape, but I don’t think I’m going to die.”

“I’m so glad… I’m so so so so…”

Serena lets out a sigh of relief.

Perhaps because of her fair skin, the dark circles under her eyes looked particularly dark.

Her silver hair, which was like her silk, was frizzy because she hadn’t washed it for a while, and her luster had disappeared.

Serena’s haggard complexion makes her feel sick.

“……Don’t you have something to say to me?”

But one of her fierce eyes glaring at me hasn’t changed at all.

As soon as you realize you’re not going to die, are you going to bully him right away?

He is also a poisonous breed.

So what answer do you want this time?

Since you insulted the demon king before, is it praise for the warrior this time?

“You told me you wouldn’t kill yourself. Why did you try?”

Serena shouts out words she never expected.

…… Did I try to commit suicide? Did you take the poison?

‘It’s a story I don’t really know.’

Serena biting her lip and glaring at me didn’t look like her performance.

So, did someone else poison Serena’s food to kill her?

‘There is someone who wants to kill Serena.’

If she said the steak was poisoned here, Serena would notice her assassin’s presence.

But if she doesn’t speak up, Serena will not notice the assassin’s presence and will be exposed to her danger.

“Sorry.”

She chose to lie.

If the assassin succeeds in killing Serena, I can escape from here.

The hope that you might be able to escape without using your hands was too sweet.

“……It’s not something I’m sorry for. Rather, it’s because I overdo it.”

Serena lowers her head.

After a brief peek, her eyes seemed to be full of guilt.

I felt sorry for lying for no reason.

…… It’s time to worry about who, you have to be alert.

“I will release you when the time is right.”

“……Really?”

Serena must have realized that it was a mistake after she said it, and a look of bewilderment was evident on her face.

“But I don’t know when.”

She muttered as she turned her head away from her.

That’s a promise without a promise.

Escape seems to be the answer.

“Where is this anyway?”

“What do you mean?”

“The place has completely changed.”

Standing in her last memory, she collapsed onto the cold stone floor, apparently chained.

Now I could feel the soft mattress on my back.

She thought it was a bedroom, but when she turned her head, she saw a large desk the president could use.

Beside it, there is a table and chairs littered with various medicinal ingredients.

It feels like several places are mixed in parts. I really don’t know what this place is for.

“This is inside the demon king’s stone.”

“Wasn’t it empty?”

“It’s taking care of you, doing business, and making medicine…”

Serena stopped talking about her.

She suddenly tugged at her hair and covered her face.

“I never moved the furniture here for you!”

Her chin trembled as she spoke.

“It’s just that this side is efficient… Yes, it’s to keep an eye on you!”

Surveillance? I can’t move even one step because I’m tied to the hyeong-gu anyway… What?

The limbs moved freely.

“Did you free me?”

“Dah, it’s not like that for you. Don’t get me wrong, I gave you a little bit of freedom because I was sick and looked a bit pitiful.”

I thought there was no blood or tears, but I guess I had a conscience.

It definitely tastes good because the body is free.

“Ugh…”

“It’s not all better yet, so be careful.”

But maybe my body wasn’t normal yet, so when I made big movements, I felt pain.

“It’s time to take your medicine anyway.”

“About?”

Serena got up from her chair and approached the table, which was piled with grass that she did not know.

All there Serena tends the grass that looks like there in different ways.

The series of actions of putting the medicine in a bowl and grinding it seemed proficient.

“How long have I been down?”

“Today is one week.”

A week, apparently, Serena repeated that act for me every day for a week.

Thinking about it like this makes me feel a little sorry.

It’s like giving a bottle and giving medicine, but in reality, Serena wasn’t the one who gave me the bottle.

“All right, take it.”

In the meantime, Serena handed her a bowl as if she had finished making her medicine.

The dark green mass in her bowl gave off a foul stench.

She knew she had to eat to get well, but she was reluctant to swallow for some reason.

“I didn’t add anything strange.”

As I hesitated, Serena spoke urgently.

“Charen introduced her as herbs that are good for the body.”

Serena, who brought herbs that were spread out on the table, began to explain one by one how good these were.

“Why did you include things that are good for stamina?”

“I put it in because it was good to have.”

Shar-en, so she knocked out everything the saintess said was good for her body.

It doesn’t taste good, but as Serena claims, it’s good for the body.

“……Woo-wook.”

She held it in and tried to pour it into her mouth, but as soon as the contents touched her tongue, her hand stopped of its own accord.

It tastes sore on the tongue to the point where you want to heal naturally rather than get better by eating this.

“Is something wrong?”

She just frowned a little, but Serena asked right away.

Excuse me if I say I don’t want to eat her because she’s tasteless, right?

Even if that’s not the case, Serena’s personality seems to have an afterthought.

“Ahahahaha, is it because she just woke up? Her hands aren’t moving well?”

Let’s throw it away. This is not for human consumption.

“Sorry, but I’ll eat it later…”

“Absolutely not.”

Serena’s resolute voice showed her unspoken will not to yield.

“Be sure to eat until you get better.”

“……Yes.”

It’s no different from a real threat.

Even after swallowing it once, the contents of the bowl hardly decreased.

What year do you eat this?

You can’t secretly throw it away.

I glanced at Serena, wondering if there was a gap, and our eyes met.

You’re saying you’re going to check if you’re eating gear nose.

She closed her eyes and was about to swallow her in one bite, but Serena snatched her bowl.

“If you don’t have the strength to lift a spoon, I will help you.”

I never asked for help like that.

No, more than that, why are you scooping out the contents of the bowl with a spoon?

…… You can’t swallow it all at once.

“No need to consider it humiliating. This is not to shame you.”

After taking a spoonful of the contents of her bowl, Serena held out her spoon to me and said.

“It’s just a caregiver.”

Serena’s face turned red.

She held the spoon in front of her mouth and waited for me to eat.

‘I even feed them myself, but I can’t stop eating them.’

She swallowed her sigh and put the spoon she gave her in her mouth.

“……Ugh.”

The bitter and spicy taste of grass that spreads in your mouth right away.

I know it’s good for the body, but it’s disgustingly tasteless.

After barely swallowing, Serena silently held out the next spoon.

Do I really have to go this far?

“Be patient even if it hurts.”

She tapped her lips with her spoon as if telling her to open her mouth quickly.

“Ugh.”

The torture under the guise of caring ended only after I hurriedly poured every last spoonful into my mouth.

“I have a question for you.”

I wanted to take a break now, but I couldn’t ignore it as they rushed with a heavy voice.

“Ho, did you hear what I said when you woke up?”

“Wake up?”

I couldn’t hear it properly because I was distracted, but it seems like he said something.

I think it was a nuance that he would do something if he woke up.

“If it was important, can you tell me again?”

“Mo, if you didn’t hear it, it’s okay. Your body will be uncomfortable, so just rest.”

But Serena turned her head away as if it was nothing.

I don’t know why, but her ears, exposed through her silver hair, were red.
