The Male Leads Were Stolen By The Extra [EN]: Chapter 93

<93>

Before midnight, Tan naturally teleported to Celonia’s room.

However, she was asleep in bed, exhausted.

He had so much more to say and so many things he wanted to do, which was a great pity, but he didn’t force himself to wake her.

Just watching her with her eyes closed like this was enough. He, who didn’t sleep, liked to look at Celonia’s face when she was asleep.

“I like you too.”

Sitting on the bed and looking at Celonia, Tan recalled what she had said to him a few hours earlier.

Then the corners of his lips twitched uncontrollably. He couldn’t hide the joy that was flooding in.

“You asked what we are to each other. We like each other.”

You and I like each other.

Tan eventually chuckled and rubbed his lips.

It was clear that it had been a while since he had kissed her, but it still felt like her lips were lingering.

The soft touch. He could never forget that sensation, as if he was holding a soft cream. Everything was new.

The brief moment when they shared each other’s breath was ecstasy.

He was so sorry that he had come to see her as soon as possible because he wanted to feel it again, but she was asleep.

With a regretful fingertip, Tan gently touched her slightly parted lips. It was so soft that his finger could sink in, like jelly.

He was filled with the desire to touch her again, but he didn’t want to disturb her while she was dreaming.

He reluctantly removed his finger, which didn’t want to leave her lips, and carefully swept back the bangs covering her forehead.

Rustle, rustle.

The sound of brushing back her hair echoed softly in the quiet room.

A smile that could not be sweeter was drawn on his lips. His eyes, looking at her face, revealed too much blatant affection.

“What is it about that woman that makes you like this! My lord is a Demon King. A great Demon King who cannot be compared to an Emperor! Even if you have no memory, this is not right. That woman will not do!”

After Celonia left the Duke’s residence, Iaus said to him with a face full of resentment, as if he was questioning him. Tan mercilessly sealed Iaus’s mouth.

Of course, he wanted to burn Iaus, who was trying to harm her, but he was only holding back because Celonia said that it might be a headache if he wasn’t around right now.

Now, his lost memories didn’t matter anymore. Neither the wounds, nor the pain, nor the fact that he was a Demon King, nor that she was a savior.

The price he paid for abandoning all the past was too great.

He even wanted to abandon his identity as a Demon King if he could. That way, Celonia would look at him with a more comfortable heart.

Tan slowly lowered his head, looking at the price he had paid.

His lips did not touch her lips, but briefly touched her round forehead before falling away.

He was going to just hold her hand for now, and as soon as the pain disappeared, he was going to go back right away. And when morning came, he was going to come and see her right away.

There were so many things he wanted to do for her.

He gave her earrings as a gift, so what should he give her this time?

Clothes? Or shoes? Or a mansion?

Yes. It would be nice to have a mansion where they could live together. It would be good to build the walls high so that those damn saviors couldn’t even get close.

Tan, who had gone too far on his own, was already drawing the size and shape of the mansion in his head.

He was so lost in thought that he didn’t even realize it was midnight.

Tan completely froze.

“What is this…….”

The pain that had visited him every night was not felt. He hadn’t even held Celonia’s hand.

He touched his chest with his hand. The scar was felt through his shirt. But there was still no pain.

“Hiss…….”

A groan was heard from the side.

When he quickly turned his head, Celonia’s lips were trembling.

“Celonia. Celonia!”

Tan was surprised and called Celonia. But she was sweating profusely and in pain. Her face, illuminated by the moonlight, was paler than usual.

He quickly placed his hand on her forehead. He felt a fever.

What should I do? What should I do?

Biting his lip in anxiety, he paced around the bed restlessly.

It was then.

“Ugh…….”

Tan lowered his head, feeling a headache that felt like it was going to break.

The blood vessels on the back of his hand wriggled like earthworms, and then a flash of light flashed in his head, and a scene began to replay.

Inside a gray space. A black hand grabbed a white neck without hesitation.

“Gasp! Ugh, ugh!”

The other person coughed as the force of the pressure on his neck.

“I don’t need to drag this out.”

Growling lowly as if he was angry, the black hand brought the hand holding the other person’s neck closer.

“Heo, heuek……!”

“I’ll pull it out right now.”

Then, with a chilling voice, a large hand approached the fading blue eyes.

The blue eyes, which had lost their light and were fading, suddenly flashed clearly between the spread black fingers.

The black hand was embarrassed by the intense gaze and hesitated, and the other person reached out as if waiting for it.

Soon, the white light that stretched out from the other person’s hand completely covered his vision.

“Gasp…….”

Tan’s heart pounded with surprise and cold sweat formed on his forehead.

What, what was this scene just now?

A black hand holding a white and slender neck. The voice that flowed out of the person with the black hand was too familiar.

It was Tan, his own voice.

And the owner of the face of the person caught by that black hand was…….

It was Celonia.

* * *

It had been 14 days since he killed the Demon King, came down from the castle, and entered the monster forest. The summit was just around the corner. He could see the northern village in the distance.

Celonia and the male leads didn’t have to suffer for six months like before to get through the castle and the forest.

That was because of the Demon King’s barrier that made it difficult to reach the castle. The Demon King died and the barrier was broken.

The four of them were talking about what they would do when they returned to their respective capitals and what food they would eat first with a relieved heart.

“I want to eat chicken soup that’s so hot it burns the roof of my mouth! I want to eat real chicken instead of a three-headed bird!”

McRyan exclaimed. As if he was fed up with monster meat now.

“I just need a neat and well-prepared meal. But I want to take a bath in warm water as much as I want.”

Reyev said with a noble face. It was an answer worthy of a paladin who valued chastity above all else.

“I want to visit Roblan again with the Young Lady on a day when the bright sunshine shines.”

Ian smiled at Celonia.

Unlike the energetic three, Celonia was lost in thought with a tired face, a little overwhelmed.

What should I do first?

First, I want to wash my whole body and eat as much delicious food as I want. Then I want to lie down on a soft and warm bed and sleep until I wake up. In peace where there is no danger.

“What about you?”

“What does Celonia-nim want to do?”

“What does Young Lady want?”

When she didn’t answer, McRyan, Reyev, and Ian asked at the same time.

The moment Celonia was about to open her mouth to say the answers she had been thinking about in order.

“Heoheok……!”

She stopped walking, feeling a sudden sharp pain. A tremendous pain washed over her. Celonia, who collapsed to the floor as if collapsing, grabbed her chest.

“Young Lady!”

“Celi!”

“Celonia-nim!”

Their voices sounded muffled and faded away as if water had entered her ears.

A tremendous pain washed over her like a tsunami. It felt like her heart was splitting in half.

Soon, her vision flickered with the pain that swallowed her whole body. She lost consciousness like that.

* * *

“……Umm.”

“Milady!”

Celonia opened her eyes to the urgent voice ringing in her ears.

“Are you okay? Are you feeling better?”

Feeling the dryness in her mouth, she turned her head and saw Ella looking at her with a worried face.

“Ella.”

“Yes! Milady. I’m here.”

Ella changed the washcloth placed on Celonia’s forehead.

Celonia blinked her eyes and looked around.

This was her room. It seemed like she had a dream because it wasn’t a forest. The dream of the day she collapsed.

“You were sick last night.”

“Ah…….”

She vaguely remembered last night.

Her body was so tired that she lay down on the bed as if collapsing, but she had a fever, her muscles felt weak, and her whole body ached.

She didn’t know if it was a dream or reality, but she seemed to have heard Tan’s voice calling her in her hazy mind.

“The doctor said it seems like you have a feverish cold. And your physical strength is also very weak.”

“I see.”

“Shall I bring the Duke? He was worried all the time and just went downstairs.”

“No. My head is a little ringing. I think I need to sleep more.”

Celonia refused because she was still not in good condition. Her body was melting like melted ice cream and sticking to the bed.

Her arms and legs still didn’t have much strength and her head was dizzy.

“Well……. The Grand Duke came in the morning, but the Duke sent him back.”

Ella carefully said as she covered Celonia with the blanket again.

“Tan?”

Celonia 벌떡 raised her upper body at the word.

“Ah! Milady!”

Her head was spinning, but thanks to Ella who caught her right away, she was able to not lie down again.

Tan must be worried……. He must have come to hold my hand at midnight and saw me sick.

“Can you lift me up a little.”

“Are you sure you’re okay?”

Celonia nodded her head that she was okay and Ella supported her.

She got out of bed with Ella’s help, but it was difficult to stand properly.

“Still, I’m glad you came to your senses quickly. I was so surprised to see you sick after coming to the room by pulling the string…….”

“String?”

“Yes. If you hadn’t told me, I would have been late to find you. I don’t let anyone come near the room at night unless you call me.”

Because of meeting Tan every midnight, she didn’t let anyone come near the room. She had told them not to come until she called them.

But she pulled the string? I don’t remember pulling it.

Then Tan, who came at midnight, must have pulled it after seeing me sick.

Ella said that her father sent Tan back who came in the morning.

But Tan wouldn’t have gone back this easily…….

Suddenly, Celonia, who was looking around the room, stopped. Because there were several doors in her bedroom.

“Ella, I’m okay, so I’ll be alone. I need to rest a little more.”

“Are you sure? Then I’ll put you back in bed.”

“No. I’ll get some sunlight for a while and then lie down again.”

“Make sure to call me if you need anything. Okay?”

“Okay.”

Celonia sent the worried Ella out of the room and was completely alone. She moved her legs with difficulty and opened the bathroom door.

There was no one inside. Then is it the powder room [a room or area where one can apply makeup and fix their hair]?

When she was about to quickly turn around and head to the powder room, she heard a click from behind.

When she turned around, the dressing room door was open.

And Tan was standing in the open door, as expected, waiting without going back.

“Tan.”

Celonia approached him with a delighted expression.

But her weak body couldn’t go far and staggered, so Tan quickly wrapped his arms around her waist.

“Thank you.”

Celonia smiled awkwardly as if she wasn’t usually this weak.

“…….”

But he didn’t answer anything. Celonia felt the strong arms supporting her and raised her head with a puzzled mind.

“Tan?”

What was reflected in her eyes was Tan’s face with a strange expression.
