Tobias, who had hidden his identity until now, refused to reveal himself just to steal the Holy Sword.
However, when Shuzhechin promised to hand over the ‘Holy Sword’ to him, he began to actively cooperate.
Tobias encouraged Hades to train the delegation even harsher to buy himself time, and Shuzhechin reluctantly complied.
Naturally, Hades was completely fooled.
Thanks to that, Tobias was able to freely go about executing his plan.
As expected, Hades Croitner didn’t seem to care much about the vacancy of the deputy commander. Shuzhechin thought he could endure harsh training as the price.
“How about training outdoors until it gets dark?”
“Aren’t we already outdoors?”
Shuzhechin asked, puzzled. They were already in an outdoor training field, exposed to the chilly wind.
Hades shook his head.
“I plan to go into the forest. We may greet the demons here in this clearing, but considering your journey, shouldn’t you also know how to deal with them in the forest?”
Groans emanated from various quarters. Not just the delegation but even the knights wore discontented faces.
Yet, no one dared verbalize their complaints, highlighting Duke Donovan’s authority.
“We should thank you for your consideration then.”
Shuzhechin answered curtly on purpose. Hades’ whims might benefit Tobias, but if he seemed too pleased, he would invite suspicion.
“But as we leave the day after tomorrow, I’d appreciate restraint in excessive training.”
“Don’t worry, Gyeongbaek.”
Hades looked straight at him.
“When have you seen me conduct unnecessary training?”
Outwardly, Shuzhechin maintained a stern face, but inwardly he laughed uproariously. Even born noble, Hades Croitner was just a naive child after all.
Hades was about to lose his most valuable treasure while trying to torment this troublesome delegation.
“……If that’s Your Grace’s wish, then it must be followed.”
Their gazes clashed in midair.
“I appreciate your understanding, Gyeongbaek.”
Hades replied icily.
“I will only execute truly necessary training.”
Suppressing a rising smile, Shuzhechin followed Hades.
The end was in sight.
(This is a time separator.)
“I won’t open it.”
I raised my chin. I knew Denesor wasn’t in the report, but that didn’t mean I wanted to open it.
It certainly wasn’t due to a sense of duty to protect Donovan’s treasure.
Rather, it was the opposite.
“If they find out the Holy Sword is missing, they won’t leave me alone.”
As of now, I am the only one who knows of Tobias’s identity.
If they discover the absence of the Holy Sword through reports, it’s highly likely they would kill me to silence me, steal some suitable treasure, and pose it as a robber’s act.
Naturally, I would be left defenseless and killed.
Tobias looked straight at me.
“Opening it would be better.”
“But I can’t open it.”
I responded confidently.
“Because that would mean betraying the person who taught me how to.”
“……”
A brief silence flowed, then the corner of Tobias’s mouth twitched slightly.
“Did my brother personally teach you?”
“Yes.”
I nodded my head. It would be an honor if Hades heard it, but he’s not here right now.
“Or how else would I know?”
“I see.”
Tobias answered in a calm voice.
“Understood.”
I froze in my tracks. It was because Tobias had pointed a knife at my neck. I felt goosebumps from the cold, sharp sensation of the blade.
“Open it.”
I glared at him.
“What are you planning to do by opening it?”
“It’s none of your concern.”
“I see.”
I spoke slowly.
“So what’s next? Will you not kill me?”
“……!”
For the first time, Tobias’s pupils wavered. He licked his lips briefly, then spoke with determination.
“Don’t worry. I have absolutely no intention of killing you.”
“I’m not a fool, Lord Tobias.”
I softly smiled at Tobias.
“If you kill me and pose it as a robber’s act, you would still have His Majesty’s trust. I don’t think you’d let such an opportunity slip away.”
“……Angelica.”
I frowned. Calling my name in this situation? Tobias was clearly more brazen than I thought.
Just as I was about to say something,
His lips parted, and he said something unbelievable.
“I swear on my late mother’s grave. If you open this door right now, I will not lay a finger on you.”
His sapphire eyes, eerily similar to Hades, blazed.
“But if you refuse……”
I felt a sting at my neck. Only after I felt a droplet of blood flow down my neck and dampen my chest did I realize he had wounded me.
“Your shortlived life will come to an end here.”

“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
