The Most Powerful Characters In The World Are Obsessed With Me

At the same time, the man who had just attacked Cedric landed at the back garden of the Blueport Ducal’s mansion.

He knew that it would be useless to do such a thing now that he was caught by Cedric, but he couldn’t help it because he had set the coordinates here from the beginning.

‘For now, I managed slipped past that 1%.’

He was worried every time he needed to use the scroll because of the 1% chance. So he had hoped that he wouldn’t have to use it until the end.

Of course, even now, with a 99% chance of surviving, the only path left for him is the dew of the splendid execution ground.

If he didn’t want to die, he had to flee to the Holy Empire as soon as possible. When he gets there, His Holiness will save him. If he doesn’t get caught after making this ridiculous mistake.

He remembered what he had just done and clicked his tongue.

‘Damn it, it was supposed to be for Dalia Pesteros…….’

He threw it to Cedric because he was in a hurry.

He belatedly regretted it, but he couldn’t help it.

It’s okay if he doesn’t get caught. He has already informed them that he has succeeded. There was no other way to check.

He turned to think about getting out of the mansion quickly.

However, as he turned around, he encountered a huge human figure.

Even though he set the coordinates to a remote place where no one would come.

It was an unexpected situation, but he craftily smiled. He groaned in pain as he clutched his burnt arm.

“……I accidentally got burned while playing here. Could you please call a doctor?”

“That will be difficult.”

A firm answer came back.

Only then did the young man realize that the man in front of him was the Duke Lewayne Blueport.

“……What is the reason?”

“Because I promised young lady Dalia Pesteros that I would protect her.”

Before the young man could figure out the hidden meaning of the words, his vision quickly darkened. At the same time, he felt a severe pain on the back of the hand on the side that was not burned.

“Aack!”

He sat down and screamed.

Then, trembling in pain, he looked at the back of his hand. He could see the handle of a sword sticking out above the back of his hand. The blade of the sword was embedded in the floor.

“I have no regrets for you. It’s a bit boring.”

Even with the back of a person’s hand torn apart, Lewayne looked down at him without any expression. It was abominable and despicable and yet at the same time, terrifying.

It’s because the person in front of him did not feel like the same human being. It feels like facing a huge natural disaster, or a mountain or a rock.

“Uh, how did you know I was here?”

He asked, grinding his teeth.

Lewayne offered him a choice instead of an answer.

“You have two options. The first is to go to the guards of this Empire and confess your sins. The second is to continue to be here with me. It’s obvious which one will be in your favor.”

“…….”

The young man replied with silence, and Lewayne understood the answer.

He nodded his head. And said it out loud.

“Guards!”

“Shit.”

It’s all over now.

The young man gave up and tore his hair with his free hand.

Lewayne sent the young man to the guard through strict transportation procedures, and was lost in his thoughts.

Dalia’s appearance in front of him has strayed too far from the regressions path he went through. Although, it still roughly follows a similar pattern. Even the plan that Aceras was preparing for at the end.

But he didn’t know what would happen in the future.

Then, someone appeared from the bushes.

Due to the countless repetitions, Lewayne knew that there was only one person he could run into in the bushes at a time like this.

He looked back. And he saw Adrisha walking this way. She was looking at him with a rather suspicious look.

“……I just got a call from His Highness Prince Cedric. This is probably the coordinate. I thought I’d miss it because I was late…… How could His Excellency Duke Blueport…… ?”

She furrowed an eyebrow.

It was the first time he had seen her with that look during this encounter.

Lewayne felt that it was a little refreshing. This, too, was a gift from Dalia to him.

“……Duke?”

Adrisha called him in a slightly bewildered voice. Lewayne nodded.

“Yes, please go ahead.”

“Before……us here……have we ever met like this?”

Lewayne held his breath for a moment. But after a while, he shook his head.

“That would be impossible.”

“I knew it, right? I must have misunderstood.”

“It could be. We should go inside.”

“……Yes.”

As she was about to leave, she put her hand on a tree and turned around.

“If I had missed him, Dalia would have been in danger. Thank you for keeping an eye on him.”

“That’s all right. I didn’t do it for you.”

To someone who didn’t know him, it would sound like he was picking a fight. But Adrisha did not look back again after that.

When she was completely out of sight, he looked down at his hands.

‘Even with this level of intervention…….’

Even to this extent, Adrisha recalled some recurring memories. He clenched his fists.

What is he so afraid of? It would take a lot more intervention to defend Dalia in the final battle against Aceras.

‘It’s a holy power terror attack that will blow up the Imperial Palace.’

Now that the young man has appeared, it looks like Aceras will do the same thing this time again.

Lewayne slowly blinked his tired eyes.

‘I miss Miss Dalia.’

The only precious thing he has left, which he brought into this world.

Just then, the sound of a carriage was heard in the distance. It seemed that Cedric and Dalia were returning to the ballroom. Lewayne smiled lightly for the first time.

* * *

Dalia and Cedric barely arrived at the ballroom.

She went straight to the Imperial Palace from the waiting room of her mansion, so this is the first time she had been to the Blueport’s ballroom.

The ballroom was full of people. Even if everyone talked about the accident of the former Duchess Blueport behind him, they did not seem to have the confidence to openly argue with the Duke right in front of him.

Of course, that didn’t matter to Dalia at all now. It seemed like Lewayne wouldn’t even care about who came anyway.

Dalia was afraid of only one thing right now.

Cedric had already contacted the people in the Imperial Palace. So everyone knew what had happened at the Imperial Palace in the meantime. Even Kelsion’s confession of the last thing Aceras was plotting.

Thanks to that, Dalia has been restless ever since she came in.

Her fear grew when she saw Hikan approaching from a distance, driving away everyone around him with a terrifying aura.

‘It’s obvious……I’m going to be in big trouble!’

She had promised that she would never go anywhere near Kelsion.

As expected, as soon as Hikan saw Dalia, he bit his lips so hard that it bled and poured out countless criticism with his eyes alone.

And when he was finally in front of her, he took her to an empty room and closed the door behind him.

“DA-LI-A-!”

The expected yelling broke out.

Dalia closed her eyes tightly.

“I’m sorry.”

“I, I, even though I already said……!”

Hikan grabbed Dalia’s shoulder tightly. Tears welled up in her eyes as she could feel how upset he was.

“……I’m sorry.”

Cedric, who followed them as if it was natural, looked at Dalia’s face and his expression worsened.

“That’s enough, Hikan. I asked her to follow me.”

“Keep your mouth shut, Your Highness. It’s hard for me to forgive you right now.”

“Ah, so you’re so good that you couldn’t get anything out of Kelsion?”

Cedric couldn’t help but reply sarcastically.

Hikan gritted his teeth and glared at him. However, Cedric was no less than Merida in terms of hellish mouth to stop.

“Dalia is an adult now. Why are you telling Dalia not to do this or that? If you’re really going to act like an older brother, why didn’t you do it properly from the beginning?”

“…….”

It was like a fight was about to break out.

At that time, Adrisha, who had found the three, sensed the seriousness of the situation and said urgently.

“Are you going to fight here?”

“…….”

“His Excellency Duke Blueport arrested the man who attacked His Highness Second Prince and ran away. This is not the time…….”

“That’s right.”

Lewayne suddenly appeared behind Adrisha.

“Ah, my goodness.”

Adrisha pressed her chest in surprise when she saw him appear without a word.

How did he even manage to find this room.

Lewayne then brazenly said.

“If you two are going to keep fighting, I’ll take young lady Pesteros with me.”

“Says who?”

“Don’t be ridiculous.”

Hikan and Cedric glared fiercely at Lewayne.

Lewayne was taking off his bandages to see if he had recovered in the meantime. His face remained calm without any expression.

“Since everyone is here, I will take this opportunity to announce it.”

“Please just stop.”

Cedric sighed with a serious frown. He seems to get annoyed whenever Lewayne opens his mouth.

But Lewayne opened his mouth regardless.

“Young lady Dalia Pesteros is the daughter that I gave birth to with my heart. Everyone, please give me permission……”

“Aack!”

Dalia was now at her limit.

She couldn’t stand it and slapped Lewayne on the back. Lewayne looked at Dalia with a look of great injustice, but he received a few more blows on his back.

“Stop talking, Mr. Lewayne! And!”

Dalia couldn’t hold back any longer, she turned to look at everyone and shouted.

“Please stop fighting! I’m sick and tired of it!”

“……Dalia.”

“That’s……”

“I was wrong! Are you done now?”

Dalia left on her own, huffing and puffing. She looked like a rabbit in pain from the back.

The rest of the people stared blankly at each other.

Adrisha, who was falsely accused alone, covered her face with a genuinely dissatisfied expression.

“……We should go find her, right?”

“Even if we go, she’ll be angry…….”

“But still……”

“I have done nothing wrong.”

Lewayne alone brazenly spoke. However, no one had the energy to argue with him.

Eventually, the four went to find Dalia. She was whispering to someone with an angry expression on the balcony with the door open.

“Isn’t that too much? I also have my own thoughts…….He just has to get mad at me, why is he doing that to other people…….”

“Miss is right. Come on, eat this and relax.”

“Mr. Meldon also treats me like a child.”

“But you eat well.”

“……It’s delicious.”

Meldon, who was fawning over Dalia by her side, turned to look at the four.

He touched his forehead at an angle that Dalia wouldn’t notice and let out an exaggerated sigh. At that moment, all four equally wanted to kill him.
