When the Villainess Died, the Male Lead Went Crazy - Chapter 23

Chapter 23

It was clear that if I got hurt here, I would die before the healing even started.

“Did, Did I really bring the priests of death here?”

I have to deal with it through conversation. That’s the only way to prove to him that I’m real. Besides, if the conversation got longer, I had the confidence to prove to him that I was the real Anais.

The sword came to the side of my neck and stopped. I heard the vibrating sound of the sword, but apparently he didn’t really mean to kill me. If he was really going to kill me, I would have felt the sword. Or I would have died on the spot.

The current Kylian seemed to have a little contempt, anger, and annoyance.

“…….”

“Your Majesty?”

“Now that Anais is awake, you should get out of the palace.”

“Bu, but you don’t know if Lady Anais will stay healthy in the future!”

It was a low blow. But it was urgent to let Kylian know that what was in my body was fake. What if Leviathan can’t return me to my body?

Besides, there was also the high priest when the divination happened yesterday. There’s no way the High Priest of Death did that on purpose, given that this happened.

The chief priest, Leviathan, would be no different. Besides, the high priest, who I needed now, collapsed and was resting

“Your Majesty thinks so, isn’t it?”

“…….”

“Well, if I die here, who will heal Lady Anais? Right?”

“…….”

“Lewarren must still be sleeping… Then there will be no one to share energy with…”

“…….”

“And Your Majesty. What did Lewarren talk about?”

He sighed and put his sword back into its sheath. Then he reached out to the side of my head. I shuddered, wondering if he was going to hit the wall, but he grabbed my shoulder. Then.

“Ah!”

“Move. It’s been a minute.”

He pushed me aside and left. I almost fell to the ground, but I managed to keep my balance. That person. It was clear that the Kylian that I knew had definitely disappeared.

“The, the prettiest Older Sis in the world… An, Anais…”

He was cute back then.

“I told you to listen to me for a second!”

But he went away as if he couldn’t hear me. He closes the door, chasing me away like I was bothering him, so he wouldn’t let me out.
 

It didn’t seem like my body was awake. So maybe I was being punished for the words I said earlier, so I was on my way to share my energy. Phileal has come to pick me up. With another shadow beside him.

“This is Leviathan.”

“Hi?”

I greeted him first, but he didn’t answer. Once again, I felt that Phileal was handsome. Leviathan took off his hood, and he had a gloomy look on his face. But that’s not to say he wasn’t ugly. However, my preference was a person who felt a little brighter. Like Kylian, even though his hair is black, his eyes are like sunlight.

“Huh?”

Phileal smiled as he reached out his hand as if asking for something.

“He wants to check your hair.”

“Ah.”

I tried to cut off the lower part of my hair because it would hurt if I pulled it out from the top of the head. This body, with how weak it really was, couldn’t even endure when a few strands of hair were being pulled out.

“Want me to lend you a knife?”

“If there is, give it to me quickly.”

“Why didn’t you say it sooner?”

“…….”

The thought of asking me with an innocent face kept disappearing. Phileal took the dagger out of the sleeve of his priest’s robe. When I received it, it seemed expensive because the handle was strong and the blade was straight. The silver dagger was pretty, and it went well with Phileal.

“That.”

“Huh?”

“It was given to me by my mother.”

“…….”

I put the dagger back into its sheath and returned it.

“Why give it back?”

“How can you tell me to use this?”

“It’s well sharpened, and it has preservation magic on it. You can use it.”

He smiled and gave it back to me. Then I let out a small sigh and cut off the tip of my hair and gave it to Leviathan. I could feel him taking it lightly and using his divine powers.

The hair glowed for a moment and then disappeared, but it was still the pure blue color.

“Look, am I right?”

“I see.”

Then Leviathan rolled up the cut hair and made it smaller, then he…

He ate it!

“What?! Why did you eat that!”

I thought he did some magic or just put it in his mouth, but my hair disappeared.

“It was absorbed. I don’t eat dirty like him. I absorb it with my hands.”

“What…”

“Look at this. I have a mark on the back of my hand, and his will appear on his tongue.”

Phileal showed me the back of his white hand, so when he used his power, the pentagram, the symbol of the god of death, appeared and then disappeared.

“Do you want me to show you?”

“…Uh.”

Then Leviathan laughed and opened his mouth to show me. I could really see the black pentagram on his tongue, which was also strange.

“Certainly, with this kind of power, you deserve to be arrogant.”

“Right?”

Phileal hates Leviathan, but he doesn’t show it.

Now that I was in front of my body, it was difficult to express it even if it was more surprising. Besides, Leviathan was more credible than Phileal, so I had to use a whisper and speak to Phileal.

“So what do I do now?”

“The next time you wake up again, you will wake up. This time, there must have been a problem with the ceremony.”

“Really?”

“If the wrong soul is in it, they will be expelled quickly anyway.”

A little reassured by those words, I stroked my chest. By the way, can I just pour out my energy now?

“But the last time Kylian said we don’t have to separate, why did I fall asleep again?”

Leviathan opened his mouth to my question.

“Humans need sleep. This body needs more time than others to make a place for the soul to be attached.”

“I see.”

I didn’t understand what he was saying, but I knew I had to do something while sleeping.

So I just stretched out my hand to my body. Then Phileal grabbed the back of my hand and pulled it off.

“This soul has to leave, so we just have to pretend.”

“…Ah.”

“If the high priest had woken up, we wouldn’t have had to go through this trouble. He suffered because he did not know that there was an original soul right next to him.”

“…Hahaha.”

So, by some chance, while Kylian was having a meeting with the ministers, we had to watch my body in his bedroom.

“Phileal.”

“What?”

“Do you want my hair now?”

“No, next time.”

He was obviously smiling like a habit. Otherwise, it’s impossible to keep smiling every time our eyes meet.

“Lewarren…”

“Is still asleep.”

“Lewarren’s overseer is Leviathan.”

“…….”

“Phhff….”

Phileal clenched his fists, covered his mouth and laughed. He seems to really hate Leviathan. As long as he’s the priest of death, it’s not bad that he found out about me.

At that time, the black pattern on the back of Phileal’s hand grew darker. Their faces hardened as if they were exchanging signals, then they looked at each other and frowned.

“I’ll be back for a while, Anais.”

“Where?”

“It seems that the high priest has woken up. He is calling us.”

“I see. I’ll see you later.”

“I will be back.”

Phileal smiled like a child when he said that he will be back later, and I stayed in the bedroom as if waiting for my brother at home.

The side of my hair that got cut off was annoying. In fact, I was more concerned about my body sleeping in the bed rather than that.

I waited longer than expected.

It must have been a long time before they came, so it was boring to wait without doing anything.

Suddenly, my body came into sight. As I sat down on the bed and looked down, I thought that I would not get used to the unrealistic features even after several years. When I first realized that I possessed this place, it was both hopeless and happy. I was happy I could see my bias. How can I live here with such a beautiful face…. My heart was beating.

It was a beautiful face, shining brightly whenever I saw it. I touched the nostrils with my fingertips. I had a sharp nose. The blue eyes I will see when I open my eyes will be really pretty. My gaze reached the lips that were slightly closed for a moment.

After looking at it for a while, I started braiding my hair. Before, I wondered why Kylian had all of my hair braided, but now that I look at it, it is clear that he was bored too.

Then I started braiding thin and long braids one by one, just like he had done it. I braided in three and four braids, and once I got used to it, my hands were able to braid it very quickly.

Maybe my body was in a really deep sleep, so while I was braiding about half of my hair, it didn’t even move. Worried that I might be dead, I tried to put a finger under my nose, and it was alive and well.

So I braided my hair again. It must have been a long way for the two of them to come back. When I had braided all my hair, they didn’t come. Because the strange drowsiness continued, I had no strength.

I looked at the clock, and it was time for Kylian to have a government meeting after the breakfast meeting. I don’t know, but he won’t be able to come back for the next four hours, so I looked at my sleeping body with the thought of closing my eyes for a moment. Her hair color was pure blue, perhaps a spirit other than me was contained inside.

Or maybe because of the cold impression. This ghastly blue hair suits her quite well. Thinking like that, I lay face to face for a while.

When I opened my eyes again, it was night. There was no light coming in, only the light from the chandelier that I turned on. As I cautiously got up, I could feel a presence from the side of the sofa.

“Kylian?”

As expected, he closed the book he was holding and looked at this side. It’s so dark, can he see the book?

“Didn’t you hear that you had to leave when your business was over?”

“I fell asleep for a while. Waiting for Phileal.”

He approached her after loosening his cravat in frustration. Then he said, frowned so much that I could tell in the dark.

“What is this?”

“What?”

“Braiding the sleeping Anais’ hair.”

“I told you last time. What would you do if the current Lady Anais is a fake?”

“…Do you want to say you’re real again?”

As Kylian said that, there was a confused expression on his face.
