Death Is The Only Ending For The Villain - Chapter ss-39

I don’t know what the principle was, but the crazy old wizards seemed to be enjoying themselves by holding a tournament after making extraordinary changes to their pets.

This means that natural mana was created near the relics where mana flowed out.

Until now, among archaeologists, the ancient wizards were mysterious and godly.

But why?

-Thank you!

I kept thinking of that damn writing on the system window.

In fact, they’re not ordinary people, given that they dragged me back from my well-to-do life.

I shook myself with a clenched fist at plausible speculations.

It was then. Jabbuck-

“What a relief. But is now the time to be doing that?”

At the sound of footsteps, I lifted my head.

Before I knew it, Callisto, with his arms crossed, leaned against the wall of the building and stared at me. (You hottie~)

“Of course, this is a great discovery! Maybe it completely overturns the hypothesis of ancient wizards that have been known so far….!”

“……..”

“By the way, I’m sorry, but could you please not lean on it? It may collapse.”

I was so excited that I replied back, then suddenly I saw his posture and asked politely.

“…an ancient wizard named Nabal, Penelope Eckart.” (?)

His voice dropped even lower as if my words had offended him.

Only then did I notice the ferociousness on his face, so I hurriedly shut my mouth.

He shook his jaw as he stared at me fiercely, and then gave me a violent scolding.

“When you’re done, explain this situation first.”

“Y-your majesty…”

I lost my mind because I was blinded by ancient ruins that I suddenly found.

‘He’s not the kind of guy to just let it go.’

I squirted my gaze away from his glare.

“I said if I hear that even one of you hair tips has gotten injured or you’re hurt, I’ll get rid of all your skills and summon you back. But what….”

“……….”

“Tell me. Why, how, just for what reason were you there in the middle of the night?”

He looked at me and smiled like a ghost while he swept his wet hair away as if it were a mess.

I suddenly remembered the first time I ran into him in the maze garden, and I was a little appalled.

I had to talk, I couldn’t keep my mouth shut.

How can I say that I’m pregnant with you, which happend on the night that I hit you, and was trying to secretly comfirm it?

“Come on, it’s no big deal.”

In the end, the words spoken out while desperately avoiding his gaze were nothing special.

“This, is not a big deal…?”

But Callisto, was staring straight at me

It was frankly ridiculous to say that.

‘But still, I can’t tell you until I get to the capital and make sure about it…!’

I was nervous for no reason, so I swallowed my dryness and made excuses.

“That’s… I went around for a while to take a walk, then the monster came out.”

“Do you take a night walk in a rocky canyon? So, you’re telling me that you just suddenly felt like riding a rock.”

“……..”

His remark which hit the nail on the head made me speechless.

Then, as if he were going crazy, he stared at me after a few dry faces.

His bloodstained eyes were all red. I wondered if he was tired from staying up all night, he felt like a man of some sort of rage.

Only then did I notice that he was a little strange.

I didn’t notice earlier because I was out of my mind, but his red eyes were infested with unknown emotions.

“Okay, I don’t think you’re going to tell me anyways. Then let’s switch positions.”

“……yes?”

“You are a sinner now being interrogated by the emperor. Just try to answer my questions.”

“I’m suddenly a sinner?”

I felt unfair. Of course, it would have been a disaster without him, but it was really not a big deal to tell him why. (Please not again…)

But before I could even argue, he asked with a subdued voice.

“Why didn’t you take the sorcerer with you?”

“That… it was no use waking up a sleeping person…”

“Why didn’t you have the moving magic scroll while you had all those attacking and defense magics?”

“I thought I’d be right back…”

“You must think of me as a very blind idiot.”

He burst into a sharp grin at my poor excuse.

“It’s probably because you didn’t want to get caught. If he feels magic within the boundaries, Jean will know right away.”

“……Your Majesty.”

I stared at him with a little surprise.

Suddenly, I had a hunch that Callisto’s harsh questioning was different from usual.

For five years, there have been quite a few dangerous situations like today, with traces of ancient wizards.

Fighting evil has always happened, and there have been times when a band of bandits attacked the camp while homeless.

At first, if something happened, Jean had a quick call and Callisto would run through the meeting several times.

I wanted to keep doing this, but I didn’t want to worry him because he was busy with political affairs.

So from some point on, I’ve been equivocal just as before.

He used to always threaten and warn people with nagging, saying, “Every time your ears go off.” (?)

But I was a little embarrassed because it was the first time I was being questioned in this way.

‘Is it because I snuck out without a escort? Well, it’s the first time I’ve been out of the camp… or did I enjoy finding historical sites too senselessly?’

But how can I not like it when I discovered it after five years of hard work?

I rolled my eyes and asked Callisto carefully.

“Why are you so angry?”

“Why am I so angry? Ha.”

He twisted the corners of his mouth and burst into a sneer.

‘Don’t tell me…’

My heart was chilled. I stammered when I opened my mouth.

“Ho, do you think that I’m…”

“How long have you been seeing him?”

“What?!”

When I was about to ask, ‘Did you know that I’m pregnant?’ Callisto cut me off and asked me back.

“Who…”

When I was blankly closing my eyes,

Suddenly, I remembered a dark hair that was disappearing carelessly over me.

“No way… did you, see it?”

“He disappeared immediately after seeing me appear.”

“Well, it’s not like that. I accidentally ended up….”

“Like a rat, he silently defeated the monster and disappeared, so I didn’t kill him….I have made such a huge mistake.”

I never expected to Callisto to have seen Eclise.

I shook my head in embarrassment, and stopped to stand tall at his following remarks.

“Did you know…everything?”

At my question in consternation, he came up to me, straightening his body against the wall.

“Penelope Eckart.”

Coming at an instant, he suddenly reached out and swept my cheek.

And muttered drearyly.

“You think there’s something I don’t know about you?”

“…Your Majesty.”.

“If you wanted to hide it perfectly, you should have left your ring so I wouldn’t come.”

It was only then that I could see why he questioned me so sharply.

He doubted that I’ve turned a blind eye to him even though I knew he was there.

In addition, I felt like a terminally ill patient who may have met separately like today. (?)

I was absolutely out of my mind.

“It’s a misunderstanding, I’m so sick of him and just by chance…”

After complaining of injustice again, I frowned upon the words I suddenly caught.

“By the way, when the hell did you hang the locator magic again? I heard you had the magic of teleportation.”

I scraped his arm from my cheeks and opened my eyes wide.

“Ha, is it not good enough to keep an eye on me like that? You think I don’t know about Jean’s daily reports for the past five years?”

When I walked on a reversed path, this time he was the one who avoided my eyes.

“You were right about the type of teleportation.”

And the answered me in a disapproving voice.

“It’s just that I’ll be automatically summoned to the side of the ring if you’re away from the one I’ve put on the escort for more than a certain period of time.”

“Huh.”

“How do I know if you’re in danger when I’m sleeping like today?”

“Huh. So that’s why you came to me like that?!”

I laughed out loud as I glanced over the appearance of this rascal, standing barefoot with only a sword in his bottom because he had given me the top.

‘No wonder they let me go…’

Five years ago, he chose to thoroughly prepare and control the surrounding areas for me.

I could see why whenever I was a little late to contact him, Marienne and Jean would turn pale every time.

I asked, feeling a little ruined.

“Don’t you trust me that much?”

“It’s not that I don’t trust you.”

In my weakened tone, he gave strength to the hand he had soothed.

“When I see you, I can’t trust those guys who turn their eyes behind you.”

“Where are these guys?”

“Look, if I just turn my head a little, you’ll run and they’ll take you away.”

“This again. Take what away, am I an object?”

I replied nervously to the question of ‘running and taking away’ that seemed to start again.

“And didn’t you see that bastard left me there to die?”

“He noticed I was there and that you’re mine. I also imprinted my presence on you.”

There was a mysterious conviction on his face, who answered in an assertive way.

The fact that Eclise must have approached me with some trick…

I swallowed a sigh and gazed at him.

A man with a face that looks like he’ll kneel down and beg at once, and anxious eyes glistening with anxiety.

Callisto and I were similar, but so different at the same time.

I tend to save my words because I want to relieve him of his anxiety, and he tends to act before me without saying anything because he knows my character.

Therefore, our quarrels were always for the same reason even after it was over.

‘Can we really raise a child like this….?’

I slowly opened my mouth, thinking of our gloomy future.

“Your Majesty.”

First of all, it was necessary to calm Callisto, who was once again infested with disease.

“….I’m sorry that I didn’t mention anyone else helping me with the mana hunt.”

“……….”

“At first I thought he was dead. But I didn’t believe it afterwards because he never showed up. In fact, I didn’t really want to know..”

“What.”

“He’s still hanging around me alive.”

I wasn’t sure, but when I came across him today, I was really surprised.

Dead or alive, Eclise was my grief.

But anyway, I was so glad that he wasn’t dead all this time, and on top of that, he had lost his memory.

It’s because I always felt like I had deprived him of a chance to live a proper life.

“It was a real coincidence that I met Eclise today. I went to find the moonshadow flower, and a monster appeared and he helped me.”

“Moonshadow flower?”

“Yes, he said he’s lost his memory since he came back to life.”

Callisto, who was interested in ‘Moonshadow Flower’, frowned fiercely again at my subsequent remarks.

“The guy who forgot his memory hides grimly and follows you?”

“I think he had a sense of deja vu.”

“If that’s true, I guess he’s got nothing more to look at now.”

“…why do you suddenly bounce like that?”

“Because he can’t tell whether he wants to have you or if he wants to kill you.”

I didn’t understand what he said.

If he had lost his memory, Leila’s brainwashing would have been undone. But what is there to do after all?

In the midst of a swarm of evil creatures, I remembered a man who was leaving me.

The face I saw at that moment from the bottom of the cliff.

It was not as expressionless as it always was, but in the end there was no hesitation to turn right away from me.

“He said he was leaving for the Northeast.”

“And you believed that?”

As if to give a pathetic human a pin, he spilled me.

I was shocked that he treated me like that.

In the meantime, like the emperor of the empire he is, he quickly cleared things up and made decisions.

“When dawn breaks, you go back to the capital with me. And until we kill him, we will stop digging for a while.”

“Your Majesty.”

“Let’s get up there. The mana in this place may interfere with our search.”

He turned away from me as if he would not listen to any more excuses.

But I still had something to say.

“Callisto!”

I held his arm around as he walked.
