How much more should he listen to and understand the words he said quickly to endure the pain?

The surroundings turned reddish.

Carlos watched the woman who had collapsed in front of him, then looked behind her.

While Loo was writhing in pain on the floor, there was still no sign of anything new appearing around her. I thought it would follow right away. What is this again?
“I heard you well.”

If you heard well, you should keep the promise. Carlos grabbed Loo, who couldn’t groan and held up her arm.

The scene was very awkward. It was like picking up an object. It was an action of not knowing where to hold to maintain balance, not knowing if the person who should stand up would be uncomfortable.

Yes, supporting someone was the first time for Carlos.

“Come on, Rustica.”

A woman who had a different meaning for the first time. He treated her warmly enough. Even if she dared to betray him and behaved contemptuously towards the Emperor, he wouldn’t kill her, showing how affectionate and generous he was.

“Let’s get up.”

Since he stopped pressing hard with the curse, the pain must have disappeared already. However, just because the severe pain stopped didn’t mean it suddenly disappeared.

Loo opened her eyes laboriously and immediately threw a punch. The fist entered the white and pale hand. Then, from that hand, emerald-colored tendrils began to emerge again.

A curse. The curse was restraining her again. She had worked so hard to untie it, but the sensation began to dull again. The defensive magic of the pearl earrings she always wore was useless.

“Why did you come alone? I thought that kid you were with would come together.”

What he aimed for was already Hayden, not Loo. That’s why he explicitly told her not to come. That was the reason, similar to the reason why Loo blocked Hayden when he attempted assassination.

“You’re talking nonsense, you crazy bastard.”

It’s not worth raising your voice. Loo tried to rebel by taking out her hand as expected, but it was blocked as expected.

Although she had prepared for this, it made her angry and unfair to see curses that had been loosened with effort tightly re-knotting over several days. The familiar feeling of helplessness pressed her down.

“Even though you’re not an emperor but trying so hard to act like one, you don’t even know what a real emperor does.”

But no. Even though her whole body was tied up with the same curse, Loo was not as powerless as before. She knew how to untie it. Now she had the strength to endure such things, and there were many people helping her. Above all, she knew the ‘truth.’

“You seem to have forgotten how to be careful.”

Carlos’s eyes, which had been tightly tied with curses even on the peeled part around his eyes, narrowed. Despite groaning again from the pain of squeezing his head hard, she gritted her teeth and endured it.

“I don’t feel the value of doing that to a cowardly and pathetic human.”

Carlos would neatly and unerringly put words that would make him react most sensitively into his ears. Even though Loo groaned again from the pain of squeezing his head hard, she gritted her teeth and endured it.

Carlos reached out his hand and grabbed Loo’s neck with just one word. Look at this. He knew this would happen.
He’s a weak guy who can’t even endure a proper swear without hearing it once. The hand that tightened around her throat, as if suffocating her, made her breathless in no time, but Loo chuckled while choking. She ridiculed him.

She feared nothing.

“I’m not afraid.”

“Why should I fear a cowardly loser like you? You have no qualifications, yet you act greedy, hide behind walls when you’re scared, you pathetic and despicable loser!”

Something hot surged up. No, it wasn’t crying. Whether it was courage or madness, it sprang out with heat. Carlos’s hand, squeezing her throat, was visibly shaken by the unexpected.

“If you’re not scared, try killing me! You don’t even know how to kill properly, and without my power, you can’t even face Persepheta, so you can’t kill me!”

She spat out curses that had been stuck, whether it was the arm, leg, or eye area, tightly tied with curses again, but it didn’t matter.

Actually, it was fine to die here. Since Carlos’s distorted face was clearly visible. Has he ever experienced such humiliation?

“My life, which served a bastard like you as an emperor, is the most regrettable. But did the wall open?”

Loo almost looked at Carlos with one eye as if soaked in madness. The wasted years, unjust finger-pointing and insults, depression that shouldn’t have been felt and shouldn’t have been experienced, all felt unfair, angry, and frustrated. She had been angry all along.

“Why can’t you stop the wall you’ve built?”

A shuddering sound, whether it was Carlos grinding his teeth or the terrifying sound of curses clinging to her, could be heard.

In the end, he released the hand that had squeezed her throat and completely covered her mouth. A tremendous pressure pressed down on Loo.

Actually, that would be enough. Arms and legs trembling, and some people even wetting themselves in fear.
