Epilogue. I will live as a villain (2)
“… … Ha, ha.”
Even my breath is burning hot. All visible skin turns red.
The warm energy rising from Abel’s body could be seen with the naked eye.
“Is it because of the cadenza…? … !”
Leah guessed the cause without difficulty. It was clear that something went wrong during the battle with Cain.
“You can’t lose! Wake!”
Leah encouraged Abel and quickly looked around.
However, there were only collapsed ruins and nothing to cool down the heat.
“At least a wet towel… … .”
He thought of all the first aid methods he knew, but there was nothing that would work for Abel.
Rattling.
Then, as if throwing it to the ground, Aria’s fingertips grazed.
“… … ah.”
The power of Aria that can calm the flame of the cadenza.
But how can you extinguish the flame that burns your body? If you make a mistake, Abel’s body could be frozen.
“… … first.”
This place, which was on the verge of collapsing, had to be repaired first.
Charang!
Leia grabbed Aria and concentrated all of her energy on it.
Shoot!
Traces of the final battle between Abel and Cain began to fade.
Saaa-
Everything my eyes touched was frozen cold. In this way, part of Sud Castle became like the home of the Queen of Winter.
Despite having accomplished such an amazing feat, Leah’s face showed no emotion whatsoever.
I just feel nervous about having to treat Abel in front of me.
“… … “Yes, that’s right.”
Leia thought of the most powerful healer she knew. To do that, he had to take Abel to Ekarot, who would be out there.
“Hold on just a little longer.”
Leah lightly stroked Abel’s forehead once.
Feeling the burning pain in my palm and the wetness on it.
“I will take the portal and go straight to the capital. And to the saint… … .”
The moment I looked back and said,
Tup.
Abel’s hand covered the back of Leah’s hand.
“… … Still.”
A small voice came out from underneath it as if it were going to die out.
“-!”
Leah was startled and looked back at Abel.
“Stay like this, stay still.”
I didn’t hear it wrong. I could see Abel’s lips moving.
“Are you out of your mind?!”
Leah was so happy that she quickly tried to pull her hand away,
“I told you to stay still.”
I realized that I could not escape Abel’s hand.
“… … “I guess I’ll live a little longer.”
Abel let out a soft sigh.
“Are you okay now?”
To Leah’s cautious question,
“Give me your other hand too.”
Abel just responded quietly.
“… … “What are my hands?”
Leah grumbled, but gently held out her other hand.
“Whoa… … .”
Abel placed both of Leah’s hands on her cheeks and breathed slowly.
“… … .”
Leah stared at that figure quietly.
I felt strange.
I thought that I would definitely capture Abel at some point and that I wouldn’t miss it if the opportunity came.
Seeing you so weak and defenseless… … .
‘I don’t feel like it.’
I guess I’ve become too used to that self-confident, even obnoxious appearance.
The gap that came unexpectedly was not very sweet.
“… … hmm.”
Leah silently endured the stinging pain in her palm. As she watched Abel’s breathing gradually become easier.
And rather than the pain-
“Whoa.”
I was more concerned about Abel’s breath lightly brushing my hand.

It tickled. No, maybe it’s the heart that’s tickling.
“… … .”
Leah furrowed her brows slightly at that sensation, and then,
“… … Cain,”
I listened to Abel’s voice again.
“I understand why I coveted you so much.”
“Me, you mean?”
Leah, who responded unconsciously, soon sneered.
“To be exact, he probably coveted Aria.”
“It’s worth it. “I can breathe easier after you came.”
“Is it that much?”
“I guess I have to admit that you endured something like this in your body.”
The corner of Abel’s mouth twitched upward.
“The main character is the main character.”
Leah understood who he was talking about.
“Isn’t the one holding on too you too?”
She said thoughtfully.
“The sword of the four seasons seemed to put a tremendous strain on the owner’s body.”
Leah’s eyes glanced over Cain’s body and then returned.
“I guess it’s thanks to you that I’m safe so far.”
“… … .”
“Also, if it weren’t for you, this empire would have become a sea of fire.”
Abel chuckled and took Leah’s hand away.
“I guess I’m kind of amazing.”
His face looked quite calm as he raised his upper body. The pitch-black eyes sparkled mischievously.
“There’s no need to tell you what’s so obvious.”
“I’m not flattering you.”
Leah answered in a serious tone.
“I mean this from the bottom of my heart.”
So much so that Abel, who had responded half-jokingly, paused.
“You worked hard, Abel.”
“… … .”
Abel looked at Leah blankly.
His face was stiff, as if he had been ambushed unexpectedly or had encountered an unexpected ambush.
“… … To someone,”
The pitch-black eyes that had fluttered violently eventually calmed down like the quiet night sea.
“I never thought I’d hear something like that.”
Abel narrowed his eyes and smiled.
“It’s not as bad as I thought.”
It was a satisfied smile, as if he had received a slightly empty, unexpected gift.
“It took a lot of effort.”
Leah smiled. But that smile didn’t last long.
dump.
Because Abel’s body was leaning towards me as if he was falling.
“-Abel!”
Leah was surprised and covered Abel’s body. A body that is still hot and like freshly baked bread.
“I guess it’s because I’m relaxed… … .”
The field let out its breath as if Abel was tired.
“I want to rest a bit.”
His eyes were blurry and closed.
“Cool… … .”
With vague words that make it unclear whether it was an appreciation of Leah’s body touching her, or an expression of her current emotions.
“… … Abel!”
Leah’s face darkened.
They hurriedly pulled Abel’s body up, but Abel just drooped like cotton soaked in water.
“shit!”
Leah quickly stopped by and carried Abel on her back. It was able to withstand the weight of her armor, but
Clap, clap, clap.
It was inevitable that Abel’s legs would drag.
“Hold on just a little while.”
Leah muttered as if she was making a promise and started running.
❖ ❖ ❖
“Huh… … .”
“that… … .”
The capital’s nobles and officials fell silent.
This was because they heard the shocking news that Emperor Abel had collapsed from injuries sustained in the last battle.
“Nonsense… … .”
“The person who seemed like he wouldn’t even be able to get a needle in… … ?”
Everyone looked at the bed where Abel was lying with dark faces. A dark canopy was drawn, and the figures inside could not be seen.
“Is it difficult to treat even with the power of a saint?”
Derek asked in a quiet voice.
“… … “I finished treatment.”
The veiled saint answered in a quiet voice.
“It looks like it will take some time for you to get out of bed.”
“Why? Someone as strong as Your Majesty… … .”
“I can only guess that it may be a psychological factor.”
The saintess looked away and added,
“Waking up depends on your own will.”
People reluctantly shook their heads.
“Well, you’ve been moving like an iron man.”
“You did things alone that even ten bodies wouldn’t be enough… … .”
Still, he couldn’t completely erase the worry from his face.
“if… … .”
Someone had an ominous imagination,
“Uh-huh! “Stop speaking profanity!”
The other person quickly covered his mouth. Some people even whispered and talked to each other.
“… … .”
The corners of the saintess Rachel’s mouth momentarily drew a crooked smile. However, she was hidden behind a veil and was not visible from the outside.
“It would be best for everyone to leave. “Your Majesty needs to rest.”
At that moment, Leah spoke heavily.
“We still have a lot of work left to do.”
“Oh, right. “Let’s hurry.”
People came out the door ahead and behind. Leah, who was the last to leave, looked back.
“… … .”
Leah and Rachel’s eyes met.
Nod-
Leah bowed her head to Rachel as if asking her to take care of her.
And a few hours later.
“… … lie.”
Princess Violet, who came late, was unable to speak for a long time. Her trembling eyes only capture Abel on her bed.
yet,
“laugh… … .”
Princess Violet fell next to the bed as if she had collapsed.
“Nonsense.”
I believed you would come back safely.
The Abel she saw was a complete winner who did not tolerate even the slightest injury.
But what does this look like now? Why am I lying on the bed with such a pale face?
“What are you going to do if the captain is lying down like this?” … .”
Princess Violet stroked Abel’s face in a miserable mood.
Saint Rachel looked at Princess Violet from a few steps away from the bed.
“… … .”
She twitched her lips for a moment as if she wanted to say something, but no words came out of her mouth.
“Hmm, master… … .”
“Brother Abel… … .”
After sending away others who came to visit me several times.
“… … hey!”
Saint Rachel could not bear it anymore and lifted the covers from her bed.
“Can’t you stop getting up?!”
Abel was sleeping, or rather pretending to be sleeping, like Sleeping Beauty.
“How long do I have to do this?!”
Rachel screamed and shook her body,
“… … Ah, grandma. a little.”
Abel lay down on the other side and pulled the blanket over him. She still had her eyes tightly closed.
“Just 10 more minutes, no, 10 more days… … .”
The hazy voice became quiet as if it was sinking.
“Hey you bastard!”
Rachel held on to the blanket until the end.
“Why did you sit around and fall asleep when you were completely healed?!”
“… … .”
“Is it fun to see other kids come and sniffle? uh? “Stop getting up!”
Abel mumbled, covering his head with the blanket.
“Everyone has their own thoughts, so leave them alone…” … .”
“What a bastard’s thoughts! “Do you think I don’t know that it’s just an excuse?!”
Rachel quickly climbed on top of Abel. And then he squealed to the place where Abel’s face was.
“Is it because you don’t want to work? “That’s why you’re lying down!”
Giggling.
The blanket shook slightly and laughter leaked out.
“Tina?”
“It’s so bad!”
“I only know my grandmother.”
“oh my!”
Rachel fell sideways, touching her forehead. The wide bed had enough space for Abel and Rachel to lie down.
“I can’t survive. “I’m already so busy.”
The veil was lifted to reveal Rachel’s frowning face.
“Why be busy? “All they do is save or kill Theodore.”
“You’re busy doing that! “You’re making me waste my precious time like this!”
Rachel pounded Abel’s back with her fist. It was the image of a grandmother scolding her grandson mercilessly.
widely.
Abel’s hand stretched out and was blocked without any chance.
“I think you’ll just give me a moment.”
Abel said in a tone full of laughter.
“You have a lot of time anyway.”
“… … “It’s not a lot.”
Rachel reluctantly relaxed her voice. She was a little annoyed, but she wasn’t really angry.
“But it’s still a waste.”
“You must be young.”
Abel added with a faint smile.
“So, I have a plan in mind for my grandmother’s comfortable retirement.”
He whispered something so that only Rachel could hear. After hearing the whole story, Rachel’s complexion clearly brightened.
“… … “You should have said that a long time ago!”
“Everyone has their own thoughts. Besides, I’m not really doing this just to relax.”
Abel reached out and pulled the bowl from the bedside table.
Come on!
The cookies broke apart in his mouth and made a loud noise.
“I’m going to use this opportunity to weed out those who don’t need it.”
“Anyway, it’s also frugal.”
Rachel picked up a cookie from the bowl.
“Are you going to deal with a dog that keeps an eye on its food bowl while its owner is away?”
“answer.”
Abel’s eyes cooled down. On the one hand, his eyes were filled with mischief.
“We should let useless passengers disembark.”
