Instinctive alarms echoed in my mind.

‘This is bad! He won’t listen to reason!’

The man seemed really about to kill me right here.

“Since you’re going to die anyway, dying a little early won’t matter.”

He looked down at me, humming a tune nonchalantly.

“It’d be a bit troublesome if I get reset for intervening unnecessarily…”

His mumbling to himself sounded like a real lunatic.

‘What should I do?’

Am I really going to die so suddenly?

I felt like I was about to cry.

In the meantime, the white spheres swirling around the man transformed into the shape of a long spear.

He picked up the spear and slowly approached me.

“Well then, die well.”

Just as the man lifted the spear to strike, smiling wickedly, I cried out.

“No, I don’t want to…!”

At that moment, everything suddenly became still.

I couldn’t hear the man who was about to kill me just moments ago.

Barely opening my eyes, I saw him looking dumbfounded at something.

Following his gaze, my eyes too widened in shock.

“……!”

The red light flowing from the pendant around my neck had formed a protective shield around me.

‘What is this…?’

The white spear in his hand turned into a burst of light and scattered.

“How did you do that?”

The man, who had shown no intention of conversing, now grabbed my arm and asked.

“Why do you have that power…”

In the midst of my daze.

Bling―!

A lively sound rang in my ears.

I quickly turned my head towards the sound.

……Raise ‘s affection…

‘Damn.’

An expletive slipped out unintentionally.

The damned system window was getting closer.

Hezen was approaching.

‘Of all times, why now…’

Swoosh.

At that moment, the man’s eyes, holding onto me, drifted towards the increasingly darkening system window.

Then he turned back to me, his gaze narrowing.

“You can see that?”

Recently, Hezen was in a dire state.

Just when he tried to kiss Clara, Louibel caught them, causing him to lose the affection he had accumulated for her.

Not to mention, he lost a few precious teeth.

Visualizing the emotions of the target as numbers was an effect of his conquest skill.

Unfortunately, he could do nothing to stop the real-time escalation of Louibel’s anger.

That day, after being hit by Louibel, whose anger had peaked and strength surged temporarily.

His swollen cheek felt numb and rough. The taste of blood in his mouth indicated a wound inside.

‘Damn this game. Was it necessary to make it this realistic?’

At least, he was relieved to have saved his manhood from her fury.

After hastily using a skill to escape, he spat out a small stone-like object from his mouth – a piece of white tooth.

Initially, he thought it was a stone he might have accidentally ingested when he fell during the encounter with Louibel.

It wasn’t until he stood in front of a mirror at home that he realized what he had spat out – his own tooth.

‘No wonder my mouth felt so empty!’

Fuming, Hezen went back to search for his teeth.

But the pieces of his shattered tooth had been cleaned up by the palace servants and were no longer retrievable.

Despite rummaging through filthy garbage bins, finding them was impossible.

Returning to his residence, Hezen furiously washed his hands, tainted from digging through trash, and gnashed his gap-filled teeth.
The next day, Hezen used an item to fix his battered face.

However, there was nothing he could do about his broken teeth.

Eventually, he had to call someone to fit him with dentures.

He couldn’t even go outside until the dentures were ready, as he couldn’t let people see him without teeth.

Once he regained his dashing look with the fake teeth, he immediately went to the palace.

Seira claimed she didn’t know where Louibel was, but when he gently persuaded her using his affection points, she revealed that Louibel was in the western garden of the princess’s palace.

“Lou, Lou!”

Hezen quickly found Louibel. But she wasn’t alone.

She was with another man.

‘Who is that guy?’

The man had strikingly white silver hair and eyes as red as fresh blood.

Prince of Luenheart Kingdom

Above the man’s head, his status and name were displayed.

The man was even more handsome than himself, who was armed with various premium items ( items obtained through in-game purchases), and even a bit taller.

This was unacceptable. Hezen should be the most outstanding person in this world.

Jealousy flared within Hezen.

“What are you!”

He bellowed out loud.

“What about you?”

Louibel’s cold voice responded.

“Lou, Lou…?”

Hezen turned around cautiously at her unfamiliar frosty tone and froze in shock.

‘Gasp!’

Louibel’s affection for him was still 999.

Princess of Acestor Empire

Affection: 999

But now, it was accompanied by a minus sign ().

Hezen, who had barged in unexpectedly, was startled upon seeing me.

Turns Out He’s Been Secretly in Love with Me
