The Obsessive Male Leads Want to Eat Me Alive - Chapter 77

━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━

On the back of Annette’s letter, it was written in her clean and pretty handwriting.

「Kyle.

Also, I invite the friends who have protected me for a long time to the party.

The theme of the party is ‘a party for a small happy ending’.

Delicious food will be prepared.

So, please, my old friends, please join the party and have fun.

Sincerely, Annette.

PS: No firearms allowed.」

“…She called us friends.”

A wave of emotion swirled among the men of Larva.

‘Are guys like us your friends?’

#19 clenched his fists and trembled.

“I will protect Miss Annette for the rest of my life. There is no betraying her now.”

“As I heard, she’s truly an angel! So warm!”

“Even her writing is beautiful. Are all women good at writing?”

“It’s not like that. The letter that One-eye brought last time was also written by a woman, but the handwriting was wavy.”

One-eye quietly answered.

“The letter was written by my mother.”

“I wondered if the wavy shape was a work of art. It went beyond the realm of writing. Your mother is amazing.”

One member’s pupils trembled as he showed a double thumbs-up. 

Then another member said,

“P-Poetic, even the letters, a scent…!”

“Really?”

Kyle stole the letter from the vicious faces that were collectively ‘sniffing’ the scent so that he could smell it too.

Then he read it carefully and smiled silently.

The mere invitation to the party made everyone fall for her.

Kindness and consideration stood out in each word.

‘I couldn’t help but love you.’

“Master, can we go to the party too?”

“Of course. She invited all of us.”

“……!”

There were bright smiles on everyone’s faces.

Kyle resolutely spoke to the ‘savage men’.

“But everyone should have a neat appearance.”

“All right!”

“I can’t help my eyes and nose, but I will dress as cleanly as possible!”

Everyone looked into a mirror with excitement and prepared their faces, and some talked about the clothes they were going to wear that day. Also, some guys said they wanted to go shopping.

One-eye took out a ‘glass eyeball’ from a wooden box and put it in carefully (it was his treasure that was only worn on important days).

It was the first time these people, who had lived as ‘people in charge of cruelty and fear’, were invited to a party.

The atmosphere was very amiable and lively.

It was then.

“……?”

The ‘L’ initial that was shining in the center of Larva’s headquarters flashed.

—Ta-chak.

A letter was spit out of it.

One-eye was the first to discover it, and he picked up the letter and reported it to Kyle.

“It’s a teleport letter from the Marquistate of Winston, Master.”

The guild’s initial was the Winston Direct Teleport, primarily used to receive letters sent from the residence of Marquis Winston.

When a letter came, whatever it was, the butler would put it in the teleportation machine.

Kyle accepted the letter.

Then he frowned.

“It has the seal of the imperial family.”

He had a feeling that it would be troublesome.

Just as expected—

「Marquis Kyle Winston.

Demonic beasts have risen in the northern part of the Demon Zone.

In particular, a beast with the body of a lion and the face of an eagle is harming people.

Please fulfill your duty as the Beast Subjugation Squad.」

“Tsk, it’s a Griffin.”

At a time like this.

Kyle was still officially in El Dorado.

Hence, he had no choice but to go to the border.

It was Winston’s honor to protect the empire, and now Kyle had inherited that honor.

Everyone raised their massive, muscular arms in the midst of this silence.

“Then, we can’t go to the party?”

“No.”

“……!”

Kyle Winston swiftly grabbed the revolver-type magic gun that was on the table.

Whirlik. The gun fit perfectly in his hand and went round and round like it was part of his body.

“We’ll kill them as soon as possible and join the party.”

Everyone’s faces brightened.

If a Winston said so, it would be kept.

“Larva!”

“Larva! let’s go!”

The dark guild, which terrified everyone, left for the North in an instant.

It was time to become the Guardian of Light to protect the imperial people.

━━━━⊱⋆⊰━━━━

‘I’ve been tricked.’

Sislin, who had kidnapped me while I was careless and put me in a carriage to the Imperial Palace, was looking at me calmly from one side.

I bit my lips.

‘He’s so mean, he reminded me of the past and caught me off guard.’

It wasn’t obviously guilt inducement.

—He was very different from before.

Only his name was Sislin, it’s not ‘my cute baby beast’ Sislin.

Because that innocent boy couldn’t do this.

Dalgak, dalgak.

The carriage was running frantically on the foggy road, and the view outside the window was inexorably distorted. I didn’t know where we were going.

I became sensitive, and I deliberately raised the blade a little and called him.

“Your Highness the Crown Prince.”

“…….”

Sislin, who was half lying in the luxurious imperial carriage, raised his thick eyebrows.

Unlike before, it was an expression of annoyance that I used the obvious ‘line-drawing’ title.

I asked with a calm smile.

“Where are we going now?”

“My house.”

“The Imperial Palace?!”

Oops, my voice was too loud.

He raised the corners of his mouth and nodded his head.

‘What are you nodding at?’

‘You maniac, if I go to the Imperial Palace, what should I do with my bakery?’

The self-employed person thought of the store first.

Besides, I had invited a lot of people to the party.

“…….”

Let’s run.

It’s my specialty to run anyway.

I also slipped away from Gerard, couldn’t I do the same this time?

Once I popped out and returned, I’ll grab the valuables from the store, send out the party cancellation letter, and then go into hiding.

It was a waste to abandon {Little Bakery}, but it wouldn’t hurt to go to another island and start a small bakery again.

‘Since I’m the best baker.’

“You can call my name like before.”

While I was thinking so, Sislin leisurely spoke up.

For now, I didn’t want to do anything he wanted.

‘I’ve never been kind to a bad kid, Sislin.’

Adults were no exception.

I raised my lips, strangely thorny.

“How can I? The Crown Prince is capturing even a self-employed person who stands still. A commoner like me who can’t do anything should be respectful.”

“—This.”

His lips curled slowly.

“I am hated.”

He looked thrilled to be hated. It certainly looked like fun.

‘Crazy.’

Which part is exciting?

“…Wait, can I just pack my luggage and go?”

I knew the properties of an obsessive maniac.

The more the subject struggled, the more obsessed he would become.

“If I can just pack my luggage, I’ll follow you quietly.”

It was a good workaround that I came up with in a hurry. 

I smiled gently.

“Yes?”

“…….”

The cheek muscles under the red eyes that looked at me twitched.

His lips rose nicely…

…Showing his white teeth.

“No.”

“……!”

The body, which had been relaxed, suddenly came closer to me. And the stare I encountered…

I was tense for a moment.

His hard chest got close enough to hold me down.

The body scent tickling the tip of my nose was very masculine.

—To the extent that it felt like a stimulus.

My head was a little dizzy.

He brought his lips down to my ear and whispered in a languid voice.

“I don’t know if you’re thinking of running away.”

“……!”

“Give up.”

‘But, what will my life be like if I get caught like this?’

I turned my head to face him and opened my mouth. Pretty brazenly.

“When I reach the Imperial Palace, what will I do?”

Though, perhaps my pupils were trembling.

His red eyes darkened as if it caught his attention, and he gazed intently at me.

“Let’s live together. In my room.”

“……!”

Even in the original, you had a separate room!(TL/N: she’s likely saying that Sislin kept Heinrich in a separate room in the original.)

His large hand wrapped around my quivering jaw for a moment, and he whispered in a low tone.

“You’ll breathe by my side, laugh only by my side, cry only by my side… You will eventually die by my side.”

‘This crazy guy.’

When I was visibly startled, he rolled his eyes and smiled.

Then, he covered his mouth with that large hand as if sharing a joke, then continued,

“Annette.”

I wanted to ignore what he was saying, but I automatically listened out of curiosity.

―A playful voice crept into my earlobe, it touched intrusively.

“I may not even give you clothes.”

“……!!!”

My face turned red with embarrassment at the unfamiliar remark.

It was then.

Before I was even aware of it, I felt a pretty tough pressure on my wrist.

“……?”
