I Possessed the Villain in the Lily Novel

208 – Engagement (10)

A girl was running frantically along a forest path. I guess I’m about ten years old at best. She was a short girl, less than a tenth of the size of the trees that made up this forest.

“Gasp…Gasp…”

The white, thin dress the girl was wearing was dirty with dirt and was scratched and tattered somewhere. It wasn’t just the clothes, it was the girl as well. The girl’s exposed skin was full of dirt and scratches.

Because she was sweating while running, the girl felt quite dangerous and pathetic.

“Ugh… Ugh…”

The girl ran frantically, obsessively glaring behind her. Violent movement as if running away from something. The girl, who had used up almost all of her stamina, no longer had to look back.

I just ran. I ran like crazy without any rest. Because I couldn’t eat properly, my bony legs were shaking like aspen trees, and my lungs felt like they were going to burst. Nausea also occurred countless times. But I couldn’t eat anything, so I only got sick.

The girl ran as if she was being chased by something. Even though he was breathing heavily as if he was about to die, there was no time for him to stop running.

A body with barely any bones left, shabby clothes, and a miserable appearance.

The running, which aroused pity in the viewer, stopped only after leaving the forest.

The girl looked around and confirmed once again that she had succeeded in getting out of the dark forest. Relief gradually appeared on the girl’s face.

“Whoa… Whoa… Just barely…”

“Barely what?”

“I barely escaped… Hehe!”

The girl gasped and fell. A person appeared from nowhere until a moment ago. That person also looked like a small girl. However, her skin color was paler than that of a girl who did not see sunlight often, and her eyes were more haggard than those of a girl who did not eat well.

It felt like it wasn’t a person. The name of the woman who looks like a doll or a corpse is Aranea.

A disciple of Morbe, a great witch, vampire, and demon of chaos, and the one who brought evil to the city of faith.

The girl’s breathing stopped in fear. The face that had bloomed with relief became horribly distorted.

“Why are you leaving in such a hurry, baby? “You still have work left to do.”

“I don’t like it…”

“Come here.”

Aranea smiled and held the girl’s arm. Her arms, full of scars, didn’t even have the strength to resist.

“You still have red blood left. “If the blood disappears from you, then I will let you go, but not now.”

The whole plan was ruined by some stupid elf. Who would have thought that it would be the elf and not Iva who would kill him. It was a magic that used my own death as a trigger to place a devil on the opponent.

The target is the devil of order.

Contrary to the characteristics of demons that pursue disorder and chaos, among these numerous demons, he is the only demon that follows divine power and seeks to maintain discipline.

In other words, it was a plan to force Iva to follow compulsory rules through the devil of order and to introduce the devil into the world. Now, part of the Demon of Order has been sealed and cannot be recycled.

The days of infiltrating Eternus and working hard behind the scenes were in vain.

Still, hope is not lost yet. As she changed her body and lost her lifespan limitations, there are no restrictions on time. Time is on her side. In the meantime, you can make a plan again.

Following in the footsteps of teacher Morbe, a great plan to create a world without death!

To do that, a lot of blood is needed. Blood magic has good magic efficiency, so it is essential for this type of magic. In addition, due to the nature of blood magic, which becomes more effective the more blood mixed with pain is used, children easily feel pain and easily become emotional, making it effective.

In this forest, there are many children who have been kidnapped from various villages and countries, as well as children who were deliberately created in factories. As the number of children increases, the amount of blood collected increases rapidly.

Based on this blood and countless hours, Aranea will manifest the Demon King in this world.

“Come on, let’s go quickly!”

Aranea frowned as she dragged the girl who failed to escape.

There is still not enough blood.

“Something is strange.”

“What?”

Stella responded quietly to Lilia’s muttering.

“Something is wrong…”

“What did you fart?”

“To be childish…”

“Why can’t you answer? Oh, did you get stabbed? Are you okay. I can understand everything. A shallow woman like you acts according to her desires, right? “When I’m hungry, I eat without holding back, when I want to eat, I cum, and when I want a man, I go for him regardless of whether he owns him or not.”

“Are you introducing yourself?”

Stella sneered. Lilia got angry for no reason and hit her on the shoulder. The strong shoulder actually made the person who hit him hurt.

“Turn it off…!”

Of course, it was partly because Lilia’s physical abilities were so insignificant compared to Stella’s.

“Fool.”

“How highly intelligent and highly educated am I, and yet a mere hero candidate says such things to me? Oh, it really fucking hurts.”

“It’s amazing that a witch or something like that calls a Hero candidate something like that.”

“I’m not just any witch! One of the six witches who make up the petals of the lily! “I’m Lilia, the flower witch!”

“Oh yes yes.”

When Stella’s reaction was not clear, Lilia glared sharply and then continued talking.

“So, if there’s something strange…”

Lilia pointed to a place, drawing a line with her finger as fluidly as when she was moving a wand.

“Over there.”

Stella turned her head and looked at the place pointed to by the tip of Lilia’s finger.

“Wiz.”

“Uh, uh, ah, uh, my, why me?”

“Be careful. There is a tree in front.”

“Ah, huh. Huh! Yeah, I see! That’s right! Thank you, thank you… Hehe, hehe…”

When Iva warned Wiz walking down the street, Wiz was visibly embarrassed and gave an awkward answer.

Even for a third party who does not know their relationship, it would not be difficult to guess that something strange happened between the two.

To Lilia, who had been watching the relationship between the two, Wiz’s overreaction only felt even more awkward.

“It definitely seems like something is going on…”

“Why are you doing that again?”

“No matter how much of a b*tch she is, she’s overreacting to Eva like that? Hmm… “

“Hey, be careful what you say.”

Lilia took a deep breath as if she was suspicious. Stella frowned as she defended her friend.

“Suspicious… Very… Suspicious.”

“Hey, what? It was like that originally.”

Meanwhile, Stella calmed her pounding heart.

‘It’s not like they got caught.’

As Lilia guessed, Wiz had a very suspicious relationship with Iva. I shared with him everything that could be called affection between a man and a woman.

Memories that were as fantastic as a night’s dream, as violent as they were fantastic, and as sweet and sticky as honey.

It happened so suddenly that I still couldn’t come to my senses.

Stella, who was one of the people involved in those memories, swallowed her saliva, wondering if she would be like Wiz.

Fortunately, Stella did not show much agitation like Wiz. Is it because I had a similar experience in the past?

Iva and Stella, who had always been flawless even during their mercenary days, were asked many questions by those around them.

What I mostly hear are low-level questions like ‘Are you guys dating?’, ‘Tell me honestly, have you ever asked me that?’.

Some even confirmed that they were dating and were even asked, ‘Call me when you get married.’

Every time he was interrogated with lewd remarks by his heavily drunk mercenary colleagues, Spica spoke in a stern manner.

Don’t slander our relationship just for the sake of a drink.

Whatever I and Iva went through, it happened between us and is our private life.

Even if I did, I won’t reveal it for the sake of your low-level conversation.

Even among colleagues, there are lines to keep, aren’t there?

But every time she had to answer like this, she was also drunk. Iva spoke on behalf of the woman whose tongue was twisted.

‘p*ssy b*tches.’

After that, of course there was a big fight.

Stella chuckled when she recalled the past.

“Well, that’s enough.”

Lilia observed Wiz for a moment and then shook her head as if she had lost interest. That wasn’t important right now.

“I~ ba~”

As if she had never done that before, she relaxed her frown, made a tingly voice, and hugged Iva’s arm.

“Maybe because I walked too much, my feet hurt.”

“What’s wrong?”

Iva trembled and answered. Stella also completely agreed with that embarrassment.

‘Why the fuck are you doing that?’

The cleverness that had seemed so lovely in the novel now felt disgusting. When I touch the skin myself, my impression changes a lot. After all, fiction is best when viewed as fiction.

‘But now this is my reality.’

Funny enough, living in this fiction was much more comfortable than in my previous life.

“Huh. It’s not a big deal, should we just ride the broom for a bit?”

“Broomstick…? Wasn’t that agreed upon before moving?”

Due to the trial, Iva went on a pilgrimage with the surveillance of a witch, a magician, and two Hero candidates.

In fact, the words were no different from an expression telling the pilgrimage site to just continue the ordeal.

After several days of emergency meetings, the leadership of each organization decided to impose restrictions and control the Demon King candidate rather than antagonize him.

In addition, the fact that the candidate for the Demon King goes on a pilgrimage according to God’s will can be interpreted politically as saying that the Demon King repented according to God’s will and that the Demon King also followed God’s will.

It can be said to be a wise decision that leaves no one at a loss.

However, if there is one drawback, it is related to movement.

Witch Lilia and Demon Lord Inis can use brooms to travel regardless of terrain or means of transportation.

But the two hero candidates are different. For a Hero candidate who can only use a few demon-repelling spells and divine power, flying on a broomstick is quite an advanced skill.

Moreover, since it is a pilgrimage accompanied by a candidate for the Demon King, a fancy parade is impossible. It is not possible to take a private carriage or escort with you every time you go.

Therefore, there was no choice but to adjust the movement to those two.

For long distances, take a train, if possible, a carriage, or if not possible, walk.

Unfortunately, the place they were heading to was quite a remote countryside, so after getting off the train, they had to walk for about three hours.

“Woah, I want to ride the broom for a while. “I want to give my feet a rest.”

“That’s your feeling… But is it okay?”

“What?”

“If you fly at low speeds, that person over there won’t stay still, right?”

Ivar pointed his finger at Stella. Stella laughed and relaxed her hands.

“It lets you ride on the ground, not on a broom.”

“Oh really… What’s so good about a sweaty woman like that, Iba?!”

“You are sweating the most right here.”

The arm held by Lilia was wet. Among them, Lilia, who had the worst physical strength, was alone and covered in sweat.

“For a beauty like me, sweat is fragrant, so it’s okay!”

When Iva sniffed at those words, Lilia kicked his calf without delay.

“I’m not telling you to take charge, pervert!”

“No, tell me what to do.”

“Because the broom is afraid of that muscle girl… Come on!”

Lilia pulled Iva’s arm to stop her walking and spread her arms wide.

“It will be okay if our Iba treats the master as a piggyback.”

“It’s an outrage that says it will reaffirm the hierarchy between superiors and subordinates in power. Be cruel. I understand, that’s about it.”

Without saying anything, Ivar lowered himself and allowed Lilia to ride on his back. Lilia smiled like someone who won a dice game and tried to wrap her arms around his neck.

“Li, Lilia!”

It failed because Innis blocked it.

“Well, if your feet hurt that much… Tsk! Because I, I will do it!”

Innis wrapped Lilia’s arms around her neck, then grabbed her thighs and stood up. Lilia’s feet were swimming in the air in the blink of an eye.

“It’s going to come out like this, right…?”

“Huh, heh, our relationship has been bad lately… I guess that means we should make up a bit… Ugh!”

“Yes, reconciliation is good.”

Lilia laughed and naturally grabbed Innis’ chest.

“Can we get along better? If you don’t like it, you can take it down. “I have no regrets.”

“Uh, uhm… I-I’m okay… “

Iva watched their comic conversation for a moment and then turned his head to face forward again.

“It’s nice to be noisy.”

“Can you at least sing me a song?”

“The person who can’t even sing well is Arthur.”

“Wiz sings well.”

“Really?”

“Hey, hey! Poetry, it’s sore… My throat hurts… It’s sore… I’m not going to do it… !”

His steps were very light. I stepped forward, using the voices of people around me as white noise like birds chirping.

‘I’m at peace.’

Is it because I have experienced countless hardships in the past? These light stories were particularly meaningful. Even if it was a meaningless conversation, each one became food for him like a heavy literary book.

I remember walking with my colleagues back in the old mercenary days, and I also remember returning with the bodies and belongings of those colleagues.

‘I’m also tired.’

The sunlight made Iva drowsy and yawned.

‘When will this peace be broken again?’

Now, every time I enjoy peace, I am also afraid that this peace will be broken.

Tenzi said that it is foolish to fear when the sky will fall. Still, I’m afraid what will happen.

There was too much I had seen and experienced to say it was all too much.

It is said that the city I am going to now has a lot of kidnappings of children, and public sentiment is aggravated.

“Why is peace bound to be broken? Isn’t that right, Stella?”

“I’m at peace now, so just walk.” Why, do you piggyback too?”

With a wink, Stella pointed to Innis carrying Lilia and Lilia s*xually harassing Innis.

Ivar laughed and shook his head.

“If my feet hurt later.”

“I don’t refuse.”

“I’m not the type of person who naturally declines.”

I yawned again and moved my feet.

The smell of blood was still faint.
