I Met the Male Lead in Prison

1. Choice (2)

I can’t say that this man who has already taken away the happiness of so many people deserves to be happy. No, I won’t. He dishonors all who are killed and carried away by him.

Also, it would be unforgivable for him to escape by dying peacefully like this.

“A death like this is too comfortable a punishment for you.”

“That’s right.”

The man did not turn away from his sinful karma. Chaser’s hand and my fingertips were almost touching.

“But, …… Is that an order?”

I said quietly.

“…… yes. It is.”

“Then……. I’ll try, to not, disobey…… the king’s, last order…….”

But I also knew while he was saying this. This man’s body was rapidly cooling down.

‘My body is strange.’

With him, I felt an abnormality in my body. This was a strange sensation I had felt since the ominous dark purple light contaminated the tombstone and colored the spell circle. I spread my palms. Just like on the tombstone, there were dark purple stains that settled down like mold.

I felt the barriers against the knights crumbling. Originally, it would have been impossible. I felt that I had tried with all my heart and soul to destroy this dark purple aura.

“…… You won’t, go back?”

Chaser’s dying voice rang in my ears.

“I, was going to, send…… you back.”

Chaser vomited out blood, but stood firm and said in a nonchalant voice.

“…… If you stayed, at Domulit, I would be satisfied. Just one month…… I would be happy.”

Perhaps it refers to the day when I inserted the syringe into him. There was no trace of blood on his lips now.

“Don’t lie.”

“…… You, know that I can’t lie to you.”

He laughed with bloody lips. His eyelids were slowly sinking.

“I don’t want… anyone to have you, if I can’t.… Because you’re mine…….”

He was such a crooked man until the very end.

“But I want you to be happy.”

Still, he loved me the best he could.

“…… Go back, my Iana. To where you were.”

I was never thankful or happy for this love.

“…… You really are a jerk.”

At the same time, the barrier blocking the knights was broken. My body shook strongly.

Whhhhaaa!

The knights came in.

My shaking hand grabbed Chaser’s hand. I supported his body. When I glanced away, it seemed that Francia was shouting something at me. But I didn’t hear anything, like something was disturbing me.

“Sorry. Because these are, all I learned…….”

When my hand finally reached Chaser, he showed a faint smile.

“Even if I die, the power will remain…… for a while. Iana. Go back, before it’s too late.”

He stammered. He moved his stiffening tongue, trying to speak clearly.

“Now is…… your last chance.”

Countless knights ran towards the tied Francia and Lenag. Swords were stuck in their bodies. I tried to send them power, but it was blocked by that chain. In the meantime, dark purple stains came up to my forearms.

No…….

I couldn’t get my voice out. The moment I stretched out my hand, a strong nostalgia took over my whole body.

I want to go home. I pictured my family in harmony. I missed my older sister. I missed my mother’s warm embrace. I missed the comfort. I missed the familiar sound of the car engine starting and the shadow of a strong father who would pick his daughter up every night.

“…… no…….”

A single tear ran down my cheek. My roses were crying out for me. I couldn’t hear that.

I loved my world and grew up in a very harmonious family. In a place where an indifferent personality is so warmly accepted.

Tears flowed.

Sorry.

“…… I. I grew up very harmonious.”

A world that perishes without me.

The burden weighing down on me.

The body temperature of the man in my arms is slowly cooling down.

Give me one last option.

I just hit the floor. I quietly listened to the song of the guardian deity dwelling inside me. I didn’t even know if I realized it too late. This song… These were the best words the guardian deity could have said.

‘You knew. The reason why your songs have always been sad…… Is it because you knew?’

Was it because of this reason that I couldn’t hear it? The guardian deity did not answer my question. I could only guess that the cries were closer to affirmation.

“Haha, hahaha! Finally, finally, all power is in my hands! In my hands!”

The mad voice came.

“I have been waiting for this moment for a thousand years, a thousand years! All roses, in my hands! The moment I become a god!”

I spread my palms and put them on the floor. My stomach rumbled. I don’t know why, but this dark purple stain spreading inside me seemed to be destroying my body.

It was a fight I started. I couldn’t just do nothing. Cough, a strong cough came out.

“Hey, help…… me.”

I want to end this.

“Ahahaha!”

In line with my strong desire, the energy that had not come out no matter how much I called for it, began to flow little by little. At the same time, I felt a strong pain in my body. I could see the veins on the backs of my hands turned purple and bulging out.

But I didn’t care and generated more power. Gradually, from where I was, the purple light faltered backwards and then stretched out towards one place.

I felt like I was blocked by a wall. I need more strength, more and more.

My fingers scratched the floor. My eyes were aching from the pain, but I bit my lip and held it in.

Crash, clatter!

Finally, the chains around Francia and Lenag broke. At the same time, a handful of blood pours out of my mouth. Drip. The man receiving the dripping blood stopped moving. I clenched my fists until they turned white.

“Sister! Sister! Sister, are you okay?”

Finally, Francia’s voice was clearly heard again.

I slowly raised my head. Carefully putting the man down, I staggered up. Then I stretched one hand towards the ceiling.

All guardian deities can be shaped into weapons.

Like Ricdorian’s sword and Francia’s hammer. The blue energy in one hand formed an image.

What was nestled in my hand was a long ‘scepter’.

Brilliant blue light shimmered like a huge jewel that was incomparable to what the Empress had. I looked at the end of the scepter and slammed it down on the floor.

BANG!

The huge blue power that arose from the floor forms a wave and stretches toward one place. Then, like a blue wave, it circled around and trapped one person.

The Empress’ movements stopped. No, she won’t be able to move. The bloodshot eyes quickly turned to me.

“Do you think you can stop me like this? No, you’re dying, you can’t stop me. Ahahahaha!”

“…… I don’t like external forces controlling human destiny. Didn’t you think the same as me?”

At that moment, the mad Empress’ movements stopped. The blue aura rippled like waves, blocking her power. Just like she did to me a moment ago.

“You said you didn’t want to go crazy.”

I wiped the blood from my lips with the back of my hand.

“You didn’t look like such a weak person. I’m disappointed.”

“…… phhp, ppfft! Hahahaha! Words like that won’t work anymore! The Empress you know has already been eaten!”

“Don’t talk like a third-rate villain. Do you really want to do it because you want to?”

I let out a rough breath and leaned on the scepter like a cane. I didn’t want to fall down. Before I knew it, Francia ran to me and grabbed my body. She tried to cure my messed up body.

I didn’t take my eyes off the Empress.

“You said you wanted to get rid of that power.”

Lenag also came and took a spot next to me.

It was then. The Empress’ face, which had been laughing madly, became hazy. She seemed to tilt her head and look down at her hand.

Then she raised her hand the next moment. The tip of the pointed whip was lodged in her stomach.

“…… now…… hurry…….”

I heard a faint voice

“Kyaaaakk! Crazy bitch! No! No! Are you trying to ruin our thousand-year-old dream! No! No!”

However, the Empress’ weapon remained stuck in her stomach and did not fall out. I made even bigger waves. The waves wrapped around the Empress’ head and lifted the tiara that was placed on her head.

“Do, don’t! No! It’s mine, it’s mine!”

The Empress’ face looked dismayed.

“Ricdorian, now!”

Ricdorian did not miss the chance. The moment the blue power restrained the Empress’ body, his sword pierced the side of the whip.

The Empress’ body was torn.

The blazing red power and my power would have made a mess the moment they entered the Empress’ body. Despite having a very strong shell, her strength and soul were infinitely fragile.

How I knew this…… It was my guardian deity who whispered in a song.

“Haa, haa….”

As the Empress collapses, my body also stumbles and collapses.

“Iana!”

Finally, the hero who defeated the monster came to me, and tears flowed down his face.

“I, Iana……. Iana.”

Ricdorian ran up to me and held my fallen hand and wept endlessly. I lifted my head helplessly and looked at him blankly.

I used my last strength and returned the Empress and all the Empress’ knights to the imperial palace, the place where I had left. Once again, blood was overflowing inside, but I thought I did well.

The Empress would no longer be able to properly use her power. In the first place, her power came from this spell circle and the tiara, the object of the first Blue Rose.

“Why why. Why won’t it heal? Heal her quickly!”

“I don’t know. I’ve never had anything like this before. Sister, Sister!”
