He held Ramyo with both eyes.
He couldn't stand the itching and severe pain caused by the pepper powder.
“Lillian! You!”
At that moment, the black barrier disappeared after its effect had ended.
Lillian quickly turned around to inspect the place.
'Damn, I moved away from where the group was'
Although the night was pitch black, the shadows of the trees were different.
Ramio must have transported her some distance after he captured her with that magic.
'I don't know how far I've been, but...!'
Lillian rushed quickly and threw herself into the dark forest.
If she was caught this time, she wouldn't just be exiled to the Northern Villa.
'In fact, they will never let me out of the palace until I marry Karken!'
In fact, Lillian knew; Although she had no ability, her origin was exaggeratedly noble, while the Pavel family was obsessed with idealism.
So they will not give it up, but in return...
'Lillian, I'm the only one who would accept an 'incapable' like you as his wife. So you must remain silent even if I give birth to illegitimate children. Why? What if your child was also born with a defect? This is something everyone agreed to; Duke Taillard, Little Duke Quirn, Iris, and even the Empress… your opinion has no value in this world.”
This is the coming future.
The nonsense I read in the 'original novel' seemed to be happening now.
She felt disgusted even though she had not experienced it yet.
Lillian gritted her teeth as she ran.
'I hope I find a place to hide. If I get lost here, the prince's group won't even find me...!'
But the moment she found a bush to hide behind, her right wrist was caught with a rough force.
“……!”
“Huh, are you starting to rebel, Lillian?”
Ramio was holding one of his eyes, while staring at her with his other eye reddening angrily.
“I treat you softly because you are my cousin, but you- Quack!”
Pong —!
A small explosion sounded as a light spark erupted.
Ramyo fell to the ground, wallowing.
“Ahhh…!”
“Huff...did you think you were the only one with a gun?”
Lillian replied, breathing hard.
How lucky she was to find time to rummage through her bag while running.
'It's also a good thing that this bastard wouldn't dare to mutilate my body.'
Because it is still a valuable “commodity” in the marriage market.
Unfortunately, Lillian did not have offensive power, but she did possess a magic flame that reached 1400 degrees.
And she can shoot a small fire jet with that flame too!
Lillian held the torch like a gun and gritted her teeth.
“Don’t you rebel against me, you damned bastard.”

The tent was in complete chaos due to the attack that happened after Evren left.
No one was hurt, but the woman who was here was kidnapped and disappeared.
At a time when she was suffering from fever and could not even stand...
'Lillian Taillard'
There's no smell of it around.
It was as if she had died.
Evren has been through many situations where he was close to death, but he has never felt anything like this.
His heart was beating with a force and violence he had never experienced before.
'Because there is no longer a reason not to tell you...and because it is the last time.'
She was someone he should despise; Because of old political hostility, and because of her stupid pursuit of her foolish fiancé.
But hell broke out in his mind.
His ability was severely rebuking him; How could he let it get destroyed before he even owned it?
'I have to find her immediately!'
The injured knight in the tent confirmed that the one who had kidnapped her was “Ramio Tillard.”
Since he intended to meet up with his original group, he must not have gone far.
As he quickly combed the surroundings, one of the knights pointed towards a mountain slope shrouded in darkness.
"Your Highness! Look over there!"
At the bottom of the slope where only the blackness of the forest was visible, white points of light flared out.
But before he realized what that light was...
Sooooooo…
A sound like sharp nails scratching on a steel plate echoed.
A terrifying sound that cannot be confused with the howl of any ordinary animal...
Elias turned around, his face as pale as the dead: “Your Highness, this is-”
The Maul monster has appeared.
Lillian's scent was coming strongly from the source of that howling.
* * *
After she detonated her last explosive artifact —
Lillian walked away from the place, staggering.
But after a short distance, she had already reached the limits of her energy, so she bent her back and rested her hands on her knees.
“Huff..ugh...”
Her head began to spin due to the fever, and she felt suffocated inside the dark forest.
'I intentionally used objects that emit light'
To be found by the Prince Collection...
But when she thought about it, it seemed funny to her.
'Who even guarantees that they will come?'
She didn't read the last page of the novel, but it was clear.
'Anyway, the villain would have been defeated by the hero and heroine.'
Then he dies.
So I considered them just a way to escape and cross the border.
To her they were just paper dolls, and they certainly looked at her in the same way.
'Just a tool to extract information about the Tillard family.'
It was exactly as I expected.
'At least it's a good thing I took my bag.'
The fake ID card, the supplies for settling in the Tenberen Kingdom, everything is intact.
'I hear the sound of water nearby'
Following the course of the water usually leads to villages; There I will regain my strength, and from there I will start again...
But her body, unable to withstand the fever, fell forward against her will.
Keeeeek, Keeeeeeek...
Her feverish body trembled from the deafening sound of metal friction.
'It can't be.. he's not supposed to be here'
Lillian moved her eyes with difficulty to scan the surroundings.
I made sure before setting off that the area near Aeterna was free of monsters, unless...
'Unless it's the North Villa'
There monsters sometimes hover at night...
Suddenly, the terrifying realization came with the weight of a huge wolfish beast's foot pressing down on her back.
She couldn't stop the moan of pain from coming out as the claws dug into her body.
A shadow hung over her motionless head.
“...fuck you”
Lillian knew who the person approached was.
She uttered the most disgusting insult that came to her mind: “You cockroach...”
Her damn brother...!
* * *
Ramio smiled with a blood-stained face: “Huh. I told you well that I would take you, but you didn’t listen.”
Lillian was floundering under the monster's feet.
Artifacts that summoned monsters were forbidden, but Ramio did not hesitate to use them.
“This monster, isn’t it nice to see him after a long absence? He is the one who loves you the most, my sister.”
“This doesn’t make sense! All this time, you were the one who was summoning...! Egh!”
“Stay calm, sister, if your face is disfigured, Little Duke Pavel will truly reject you.”
Although Lillian's ability was worthless, she had the most beautiful face in the Tillard family, which was known for its beauty.
The family's "trump card" must not be destroyed.
Ramio took out the communication piece to call the family knights: “Hui, I found Lillian. I will return her-”
But Ramio did not complete his call.
Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Kick!
The wolfish beast that was pressing against Lillian's back howled with a sharp cry.
The monster started jumping away from Lillian madly, as if its front feet had been severely burned.
"What? Why is he doing this...!"
The monster that was jumping in pain suddenly froze.
In the blink of an eye, the world was painted white.
A world where the noise had completely subsided, as if snow had suddenly piled up.
Then the monster melted completely as if it were snow placed under the sun.
“……!”
Ramio kept his mouth open before his face was forcefully forced into the nearest tree.
As soon as he tried to raise his face, a strong hand with composure pressed down on his head to re-plant it into the tree trunk.
“How elegant you are in dealing with adults.”
“Gh…!”
“I feel like I'm looking at someone's brother, so I feel a strange affection for you.”
