What?
What is that?
I rubbed my eyes, but the letters didn’t change at all.
“Affection……?”
If it’s good, it’s good; if it’s bad, it’s bad.
To me, who had lived so simply, affection was a foreign word.
But Hades didn’t give me time to think.
“Where are you thinking of going now?”
It was a difficult question.
Since becoming Angelica, my only goal had been ‘to obtain the sacred sword and survive.’
I hadn’t thought about what to do after that at all.
If I were the real Angelica, I would have joined the protagonist, but I had no reason to risk my life to help the protagonist.
“I don’t know.”
“You don’t know?”
Hades had a face that seemed genuinely baffled.
“Don’t you have to return to where your supporters are?”
“My supporters?”
Now it was my turn to be baffled.
“I don’t have anything like that.”
“Family?”
“I don’t have any.”
I shook my head.
“You must have at least a hometown village.”
“I ran away. You know what kind of treatment a saint without a lineage receives.”
Hades seemed to ponder my words.
“Then why did you steal the sacred sword, Saint?”
“I didn’t want to die.”
I answered immediately.
“I’m sorry for stealing the sacred sword. But I had to steal it if I wanted to live.”
Hades was quite sympathetic to me now.
Explaining my situation wouldn’t hurt.
“Were you cursed?”
Understanding slowly settled on Hades’ face.
“You know well.”
“It’s not the first or second time that invaders have entered the castle for that reason. Of course, you’re the first one to succeed.”
I couldn’t tell if he was praising me or not, as he threw these ambiguous words at me and took a big step towards me.
“I’ll ask again, Saint. Do you have a place to go?”
This time, I had a little time to think.
“I’m thinking of going to the capital.”
In fact, if it hadn’t been for the gargoyle’s curse, I would have headed to the capital long ago.
It wasn’t because of the beautiful streets and grand buildings that everyone would want to see at least once.
The capital was a place where even a saint with a peculiar sword could live quietly, as it was crowded with people.
But Hades didn’t seem to think so at all.
“You’re very confident. Thinking you can protect the sacred sword from countless rushing enemies.”
“Uh…….”
I faltered, my eyes wide.
There was no way I could be confident.
To begin with, defeating Hades Croitner was a fluke.
Moreover, unlike the duke’s castle, which I knew well, the outside world was unknown.
“Is that all? I think hiding will suffice.”
Hades smiled creepily.
Crash!
The timing couldn’t have been better.
As soon as my words ended, a huge noise came from outside the window.
And that wasn’t all.
If I hadn’t leaned against the wall, I would have surely fallen as the whole castle shook violently.
Hades muttered softly.
“You thought hiding would suffice? Look outside.”
I felt a chill.
I turned my head and looked out the window to see a sight I couldn’t even have imagined.
“Those are…….”
“You recognize them. Yes, they are demons.”
I swallowed my dry saliva.
Just ten days ago, I would have laughed at the word demon.
In Leodel, demons were an enemy to be destroyed and merely foes to fall before the protagonist. Nothing more, nothing less.
But the demons I saw as a person living in this world were different.
Bodies twice the size of a regular warrior, bloodred skin as if painted with blood, heads like various monsters’ skulls stuck on.
They were like something out of a nightmare.
‘……Wait a moment.’
My blood ran cold.
The ground shook with the advance of the demons, and a wave of crimson fabric appeared in sight.
My mouth went dry.
‘This is… not ordinary demons.’
The fabric was the Curtain of Blood, revered by the demons.
It was a sacred banner that only elite soldiers among the demons could unfold.
It meant that these were not weak extras who would fall with a single swing of the hero’s sword.
“Is it… because of that?”
I was afraid to ask, but I couldn’t help it.
After all, I was the one who touched the holy sword.
Could it have been detected and marched on?
Hades answered with a face calm enough to feel strange.
“It’s not that. They come about three or four times a year. It seems to be about ten times the usual size, though.”
It’s all my fault!
I clenched my eyes shut.
What will happen if Donovan’s Duke Castle is destroyed here?
Originally, in Leodel, Hades succumbed to the temptation of the holy sword when the Duke Castle was in crisis, and now I have that sword.
Did I already change the story?
“Don’t go anywhere, and watch closely.”
Hades declared with a voice that seemed somewhat cheerful.
“The moment you leave this castle, I’ll show you what you’ll face.”
I already know too well!
But it was already too late.
Hades opened the window and jumped down from a height that must have been at least ten meters.
Right into the middle of the demons.
‘He’s insane!’
I screamed internally.
It wasn’t a fear of crashing.
For someone as skilled as Hades, that height was child’s play.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
Short intro:

Shen Yaoxing: Bro, don’t be like this, I’m really about to throw up!
She fears nothing in heaven or earth, except for him getting close to her.
*
At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!
