Chapter 431: Life Threat (1)
The fact that the medicineâs effect had already run out was utterly ridiculous.
I bet an improvised marriage would almost prove to be a mythic-grade potion made just to appease Jung Hayan. It would even be more satisfying than brewing up an elixir.
If I were to exaggerate this a little bit, there would be no shortage in expressing it as the supreme elixir that could calm any anger.
âIs it too loose?â
I had to regret what had previously happened a little. I had said I was busy, but it only made me feel like I had neglected to manage her.
Of course, I couldnât help it when I had been in Salitâs stomach with Elena.
âNo, thatâs not it. If I think about it, it wasnât necessarily like that.â
I started to reflect on myself, but considering what I had done so far, I realized that I hadnât really neglected her that much.
As I knew how terrifying Jung Hayan could be when she was out of her mind, I had to devote my time to her to a certain extent, even during the busiest times. For example, I could take her out on a short date.
Even if my schedule proved to be hectic, I always made sure to hug her during breaks, and I even took a piece of my time to give her peace of mind by executing physical contact. I had done my best to take care of her.
Had it been her usual self, that wouldâve been enough to satisfy her.
I thought that the reason reality came so quickly could be because she had raised her overall expectations. Had she been her usual self, she could have been satisfied with just having spending time with me like that, but the medicine called marriage had now raised the bars higher.
It was like becoming more and more resistant to a drug the more one took it into their body. This reminded me of the saying, âDo someone a favor, and it becomes your job,â she also considered the favors I did for her as her natural right.
âIâm a bride-to-be, so itâs only natural.â
âIâm a bride-to-be, so you have to do this much.â
It had been normalized at this point. I didnât exactly know what Jung Hayan was thinking, but I knew she was thinking those kinds of thoughts.
âI should have controlled my progress with her better.â
Looking at her madness-stained face, I realized that I made a terrible mistake.
The medicine I administered in Laios was certainly used too prematurely.
I thought about taking back her ânatural right,â but when I saw Jung Hayanâs face, such an option had automatically been removed.
I didnât just rule out my thoughts because I knew that giving and taking it back was the worst I could possibly do. If I were to take away the rights she could deservedly enjoy, it could lead to a headache.
âYou said we were going to get married⊠Sniff.â
Even though she had been thinking of a scene I didnât even want to imagine, watching Jung Hayan cry indeed felt painful.
Her face displayed resentment against Cha Hee-ra, as well as her distrust of me. It was hard to see her like that.
She didnât openly reveal hostility, but she did express her dissatisfaction with me.
âI said Iâm busy right nowâŠâ
âYou⊠said we were getting married. Sniff. When are we going to⊠When? W-When!?â
âLook at her raising her voice. Did she go nutsâŠ?â
âRaising your voice like that wonât solveâŠâ
âSniff. I hate Cha Hee-ra⊠I hate her so much. Soooo much!â
âYou provoked her first.â

Even the way she started talking to herself was quite spectacular to watch.
Her voice was too quiet to be heard, but she was definitely talking to herself. It was unimaginable to see the usual Jung Hayan screaming at me.
I realized how extreme her anger had become at that moment.
âShould I shout as well?â
Power should be dominated over through even greater power.
I wanted to shout âhow dare you raise your voice at me!â like the eighth leader of the Yangban family, born in the Joseon Dynasty, but her eyes, looking at me, were not shaken like the loyalists who didnât succumb to harsh torture.
âFucking scary.â
She was like a bomb that was about to explode.
âWho told you to raise your voice like that?â
Amid my own confusion, a loud sound began to come out of my mouth unconsciously.
âSniiiiffff.â
When she bit her lips tightly as her arms trembled, I started thinking that it wasnât going to work.
She couldnât hear my voice at that moment. It was natural that I even thought about bringing Kim Hyunsung in to utterly defeat her.
I wanted to pull my body back a little, but her hands holding onto my collar didnât want me to move.
If we were secluded or in a closed room, I wouldâve peed my pants.
âWhat should I do?â
It was impossible to administer stronger medicine in the current situation. If I raised the bar one step further, I might find myself later on in a situation I could no longer handle.
Looking at Jung Hayan staring at me with her glaring eyes sharply raised, apologetic feelings welled up, howeverâŠ
I had to think about something that could overcome the current situation first.
âShould I gently soothe her as I did with Hee-ra yesterday? No. Thatâs not right. I could be doomed.â
It was only natural to worry about whether the same thing would happen again.
I recalled the memory of enjoying the temptation that entered through my whole body and into my mind. HoweverâŠ
âI only have this.â
Unlike the previous situation where there were only two on the griffon, I was in the middle of Lindel.
As I saw in the unicorn case, Jung Hayan wanted to keep a pure position more than anyone else. I could guarantee that she wouldnât blindly attack me like Cha Hee-ra would.
âThe effect has already been proven.â
The method might be slightly different, but it should appease Jung Hayan, who was currently getting even angrier.
As I slowly peeled her off since she had buried her face in my chest, I could see her teary eyes more clearly.
I gave her the most alluring smile I could muster, looked at her, closed in on her face, then kissed her eyes.
âDonât cry, Hayan.â
âSniffâŠâ
After stroking her hair with my fingers, I began to touch her ears gently.

âI told you that the situation is a little unfavorable right now. I told you many times to understand if itâs something related to work⊠If you whine because of this kind of stuff, itâll be a little hard for me, too.â
âAhhhâŠâ
Itâs wasnât much, but it was a touch that stimulated the five senses for some reason.
As expected, she began to tremble and blush. I was worried that her legs would soon turn rubbery and sit down on the floor.
âAaaahh.â
Her reaction proved to be more intense than I expected.
âWhy wouldnât I want to get married to you immediately? I have to be patient because of the situation. Just thinking of you every day⊠makes my heart burst. Look. Like thisâŠâ
My heart was pounding because of fear, but I whispered sweet words in her ear and did my best to alleviate her anger in my own way.
In fact, it was not that I didnât have any physical contact until that moment, but it would be more impactful this way.
I was in a situation where I was trying to sprinkle pheromones as much as possible, after all.
âAhhhhhhhhhh.â
Something felt off.
âSigh. Sigh. Sigh.â
Not only did her breathing become harsher, but the way she was looking at me had also changed.
Her eyes, which seemed to have lost their morals, were now changing bizarrely. For some reason, Jung Hayan was blushing, and she had started twisting her body. I didnât know if she was crying or laughing.
âThis fuckingâŠâ
My consciousness had now begun to blur.
âHuh? Whatâs going on⊠What?â
I was starting to feel sleepy, and my legs felt like they were slowly losing strength. I tried my best to keep my increasingly heavier eyelids open, but I found that I couldnât stop it.
âIs this your doing, Jung Hayan?â
I couldnât even feel her magic power rising, let alone the spell. I didnât know if it was an aftereffect from Cha Hee-ra finally hitting me, or if it was Jung Hayan who was the perpetrator, but I slowly began to tilt my body forward.
I then heard a voice in my ear.
âA-A-Are you tired?â
Her voice didnât seem worried at all. In fact, she sounded pleased. Though she tried her best to look worried, I knew her all too well. Her desires were practically glistening.
âI-Iâll take you there. T-T-To your room. You should take a good rest today. HeheheheâŠâ
âAh⊠Yes. Suddenly my body is so⊠p-potion, pleaseâŠâ
âI-I will feed you. First, lean over h-here. Here.â
âRight nowâŠâ
âAh, okayâŠâ
ââŠâ

âWake⊠up.â
ââŠâ
âOppa, wake up. You said you had a meeting. What are you doing? Whatâs this?â
âLee JihyeâŠ?â
I slowly opened my eyes.
I didnât know what time it was, but since I could still see the brightness of the day, it didnât seem like it had been a long time since I lost consciousness.
I thought I was with Jung Hayan, but Lee Jihye turned out to be the one sitting next to me. She had a flustered and worried look on her.
Meanwhile, I was having difficulty understanding what had just happened.
âWhere is Jung Hayan, and why is she here?â
âHuh? You really woke up.â
âWhat, what? Have I been sleeping for a long time?â
âYouâve been asleep for three days.â
âWhat!?â
âYou were sleeping for exactly three days, you must not be feeling well.â
âWhat are you talking about?â
âThere was a Templar who came from the Holy sectorâŠâ
âWhat? Why did a Templar suddenly come?â
âI donât know whatâs going on as well⊠They said there were signs that your life might be in danger. After checking your condition and saying it seemed okay, he went back, but⊠Itâs a mess around here because of that. The Elf Princess also took a look at your health condition⊠Is she a woman we can actually trust? Does it make sense for a person like you to suddenly have his life endangered? I think this is all suspicious.â
âWhat is happening now?â
âWhy Elena, of all people? No, what is Elena doing now?â
âThe treatment must have just ended. She must be resting now. Doesnât it smell like the scent of a forest right now?â
âI donât know⊠Anyway, wasnât Hayan here?â
âI said youâve been asleep for three days. Half a day had passed since she brought you here. Seeing that you werenât waking up, it seemed like the Elf Princess went into your room to see your condition. About three hours after that, the Templar came immediately. Iâve never seen a Templar come out. It was really amazing.â
After I had become the Honorary Cardinal, that was the first time a Templar had been mobilized out of the shadows.
I couldnât figure out what had happened while I was sleeping. However, something troubled me above all else.
âElena?â
Why did her name pop up again?
One thing was for sure. I almost went to Benignoreâs side with great disgrace.
If I had really lost my life, there would have been no better comedy than that. It was no wonder that I felt bitter.
As I looked at Lee Jihyeâs face without knowing it, I could see her face closing in on me.
âBy the way, oppa, you look so sexy today. You usually already do. But your appeal is just way stronger right nowâŠâ
