I Will Avoid the Male Lead and Make a Harem
However, Valhail reacted completely differently than I expected.
“I have part of you remaining on my body.”
When he saw the handprints, his eyes dilated and his dark brows furrowed viciously as if to blame himself.
His breathing became more rapid as if he remembered the moment he was choking me. Fear was written all over his face.
“I don’t want that kind of thing.”
“Really? Don’t you feel like I belong to you?”
It was a word brought up on purpose to provoke him.
Valhail, who was peering into my eyes as if looking into my soul, responded after a long time, shaking his head.
“You cannot belong to someone.”
It was not the response I had expected.
“No one else can have you. Regardless of what anyone does to you.”
He seemed to understand me rather well.
In front of Valhail, I was always truthful. As a result, no one in this world will know me better than this man.
“You will never surrender yourself to others.”
“Why do you think so?”
“No matter how much that woman torments you, you don’t change an inch.”
Camilla’s voice could still be heard in the hallway.
He seemed quite shocked to see how Camilla was harassing me.
“You are still very nice…… and sweet person.”
“……”
No, isn’t he too blinded by love?
Regardless of how much you like me!
‘I am not nice nor sweet.’
Maybe that’s how I looked like him.
Because I saved him, a dying lowly Toono, in the monastery and treated him as an equal.
People under me used to be ecstatic just because I looked at them. I suppose he is the same way.
After a long period of quietness and eye contact, a deep moan pierced the still morning air.
‘It’s embarrassing……’
How far can Camilla’s impudence go?
No matter what a wicked person she is, I can’t believe she bothers the people around her every minute in such detail.
His gaze traveled from my eyes to the nape of my neck, deepening even further.
“Did……did it hurt a lot?”
My neck was nothing more than a branch in comparison to his steel hands.
“How do you think it was?”
“……”
Valhail shook his head heavily as if he could not imagine it.
He said he didn’t feel guilty, and thus probably couldn’t fathom the feelings of the person who was hurt by his own hands.
‘That’s why he’d make an exemplary tyrant.’
People who are aware of other people’s suffering cannot trample on them.
His fingertips, which couldn’t readily reach my neck, came close but quickly backed away.
I extended my hand first to him, who couldn’t carelessly touch me.
I wrapped my arms over his tense neck.
Valhail then rested his head on my shoulder, if he had waited. His low voice voice, bursting forth like a sigh, sounded in my ears.
“I don’t ever want to do this to you again, Selina.”
He was in a lot of agony.
He suffered enough to burn his arm with a pharynx and seek consolation in seeing the burning pain and the destruction of his own body.
When I saw Valhail, who had suffered more from my wounds than I had, I was struck by a strange feeling.
It was proof that I was that special to him.
Maybe he cherishes me because he has nothing as he has forgotten all of his memories……
‘I promised you that I would look after you till you returned to the Principality.’
I was thinking of a way to heal his wound and handed him the stone I was holding.
“Take this.”
A curious look followed me.
“You have that power, too.”
“……”
“Treat me.”
Valhail examined the purple magic stone in his hand as if it were a foreign object.
“Have you ever treated anyone before?”
“…… never.”
He looked quite puzzled.
‘Whom would a tyrant have treated?’
Even if he was aware of his ability, he probably never considered it.
“Take advantage of this opportunity to try it. You’ll feel much better.”
Fortunately, he was only embarrassed by the unfamiliar situation and had no objections.
“What should I do?”
“Have you ever prayed to God?”
“……”
“Well, as I expected, you never.”
Of course, he’s never begged an unseen entity to help him in solving a problem he couldn’t handle on his own.
“All you have to do is pray earnestly that you want to heal me. Just begging to heal me in earnest.”
“That will cure you?”
