Chapter 42 [Can’t yield](1)
Two figures, unable to defy the law of gravity, get tangled up and fall to the ground.
In the meantime, she instinctively held Dante’s waist with her arms in her air and wrapped it in her arms, Olivia crouching close to her, probably to prevent the boy from getting hurt. Lied
As it is, it crashes to the ground with a thump.
Drunk silky black hair.
Only dust was flying in the air in the quiet desolation.
Dante, who was burying his face in Olivia’s chest, slowly raised his upper body.
Although it was not her intention, she chose to lay under her to protect her Dante, so it looked like Dante was attacking her Olivia.
Just as the golden and red eyes crossed, Olivia let out her short shriek in a dry voice.
“—Ouch.”
…How to say it.
It doesn’t hurt at all, but somehow she feels like she’s forced to say that she’s sick.
This is the reaction even after being directly hit by the dragon’s greatest weakness.
How strong is this black dragon?
With a bitter smile, Dante calmly pressed her shoulder with the palm of his hand.
“You didn’t tell me you were working overtime today.”
“..I think this is all because of someone.”
“Well, Miss Olivia?”
A blunt tone.
With a clever shrug, he strode down from above Olivia.
Then, as he quickly headed towards Yeon-hwa, who was sitting on the floor weakly, Dante bit her lips.
Even though there was a considerable distance, the fishy smell of blood pierced the tip of the nose as soon as I turned.
The area around her was already stained with red blood.
“Yeonhwa-nim…! Yeonhwa-nim, are you okay!? You’re still alive, right!??”
Finally, Dante got to Yeon-hwa’s side and knelt on one knee on her floor and bent her back.
“…!”
The moment she met her face to face, Dante gasped at her.
My God, my God.
Seeing Yeonhwa up close was even more devastating than I thought.
Bloody, itself.
Large and small cuts covered half of the body, as if scratched by something sharp.
Among them, the one that looked the most serious was a wide area of wound that seemed to have been dug quite deep, extending from the left shoulder to the side.
Blood was still leaking out.
As if she didn’t even have the energy to answer, she lowered her head and just continued her thin breathing with difficulty.
Seeing Yeon-hwa’s terrible injury, which is not easy to describe, her Dante’s expression on her knees began to distort with guilt.
“Ah…Ah…!”
──It was my fault.
She said that if she had arrived just a little earlier, no, if she had been a little more careful, it wouldn’t have happened that the black dragon would have stepped on her tail in the first place.
There could have been no reason for her to suffer like this from Olivia.
How painful it must have been.
Even so, her voice, saying that she was sorry for me and that she would try to take her time somehow, but worried about her own safety, echoed in her head.
—It was all my fault.
Because of me.
Because of me she.
I hurt others because of it.
I’m sorry, I’m afraid, I’m so scared.
Thuduk, tuk.
In golden eyes filled with sadness, something quietly trickled down my white cheek and fell drop by drop onto the floor.
Why am I such a helpless being?
The first emotion that came to me was sadness.
And the second emotion that came to me was anger.
One is anger toward myself for being incompetent.
Another one.
“──And I (*dragon swear words) I’m really stupid, so why are there all these b*tches like this?”
Wrath of dragons.
Olivia sneered as she looked down at the fallen Yeon-hwa as she came close to Dante’s side before she knew it.
“Having been doing it, but now is it a sympathy ticket scam? What is the b*tch who was walking around like a normal person just now? Stop acting like a dick and get up right now, b*tch.”
Whoever sees it will think I’m the only bad b*tch.
Growling, Olivia struck her yeonhwa’s head with her tail.
Puck! Her body collapsed to the floor with her head bent helplessly with a sound.
The pure white hair begins to tangle with red blood clots on the floor.
“It’s like a sneaky fox. At least in front of you, but you will remain a good year to the end, is this?”
Now I have a rough idea of how he seduced my innocent child. The same year as this fire.
Placing her hand on Dante’s shoulder, she said in her annoyed voice.
“Don’t be fooled. Dante. This is a fox. Fox. I just ran around this baby.”
“Rather than that, the first thing I need to worry about is why are you going to run all over to this bug-like bastard as soon as you sell it and get it? Do you want to search for it?”
“Why are you crying again? f*ck this b*tch. This b*tch, this hurt, she inflicted on herself. That she harmed herself. To get sympathy from you. The change of attitude is just at the level of something like that? Where are you pretending to be weak, pretending to be weak? It’s not the same crab.”
Grinding her teeth, Olivia wrapped the tip of her tail around Dante’s wrist.
“Anyway, I don’t know where this vulgar b*tch approached you, but you should thank me so f*cking much, Dante. You cleaned up the filthy trash that was meant to stain your side. Didn’t you?”
“…….”
“Hey, do you chew?”
“………..”
“…Anyway, with a burp. You’ll see me after this.”
Buck and go.
Laughing absurdly, Olivia walked past Dante and approached Yeon-hwa.
Finally, razor-blue dragon claws slowly protruded from her fingertips.
With that, he must be thinking of taking Yeonhwa’s life.
You must be thinking of crushing that slender neck.
Awesome.
Dante bit her lip hard enough to bleed.
It’s scary, but there’s nothing I can do anyway.
Even if I try desperately, nothing can be changed.
Even so, if you can hope for a tiny chance of something happening, a miracle.
[—Activation of household ability]
Stained with guilt and fear, I desperately moved my legs that had become hard in place.
Even if his reason is not perfect, he instinctively blocks the way to what he needs to protect.
“…Get out of the way.”
A black dragon that warns with a chilling voice to its followers who do foolish things.
Dante shook his head.
“I said Vicky.”
“…….”
Cursing her face, Olivia spread light flesh around her.
If you are an ordinary demon, you already have the power to sit down and shake your whole body, dragon fear.
“Don’t tell me twice. Get out of the way.”
The cry of a ferocious dragon stuck in my ears.
Nevertheless, he did not back down.
Just with his eyes closed and his head on the floor, Dante shook his head vigorously.
Olivia scolded in a stern voice, her red eyes shining viciously.
“Don’t cross the line. There’s a limit to being looked after.”
…Line?
Did you just say good?
“…Who crossed the line first?”
A word that jumps out of the mouth through the throat.
“What?”
Was it because his mind was pushed to the limit, or was it because he realized there was nowhere else to retreat,
I don’t know where that kind of courage suddenly came from, but Dante replied with a smile as he covered Yeonhwa’s figure with one wing.
I’m pretty sure it’s because of family power.
Staring at her with her bloodshot eyes, her eyes, Dante said with a curse at her.
“Are your ears clogged? You were the first to cross the line.”
“…Have you finished talking?”
“No? We still have a long way to go?”
In a sarcastic tone, he clenched his fists.
Until now, through the many years of enduring and enduring, the slimy and sticky swamp of negative emotions that had accumulated in my heart leaked out through the confusion.
“Hey, why can’t I talk to other people? Being in a relationship with other people is extremely natural as a social animal, and it’s an ordinary act like eating. Why can’t you stop doing that?”
“Why do I have to share all of my private life with you? Privacy is not a public domain from the start, but an individual’s private domain that deserves to be respected. Why don’t you know that? Are you a pervert?”
To the extent that I feel brave enough to have endured that long period of time without a single mutter.
“Why do I always have to ask your permission to go anywhere or buy something? You say I’ll take a paid vacation and travel with my own money, and I’ll buy it. Why are you f*cking with me!”
With Olivia’s words as the trigger, Dante sobbed as she burst out all at once the emotions she had been holding back until her voice cracked.
From noble mtl dot com
“In the first place, you and I were bound by business from the first time we met, but in fact, we’re not really related.”
He pounded my chest with his fist and vomited the black heat that kept eating in his heart.
It’s been two years.
For as little as two years, she lived in the palm of her hand like a puppet on a string.
Every day was a difficult day filled with obsession and possessiveness.
It’s been a long time since I gave up my pride and self-esteem.
There were times when I thought that if I knew this would happen, it would have been better if I hadn’t met you.
Patter, Dante’s tears spilled onto the floor.
“Even so, the reason I didn’t regret meeting you was because I knew that at least your heart for me was not a lie.”
Dante asked, wiping away the endlessly flowing tears with the back of his hand.
“But, is this really for me…? Did you want me to live the rest of my life feeling guilty about hurting people because of me…?”
“──Wrong.”
Interrupting him, Olivia quietly shook her head.
“This isn’t for you. It’s for me. So you have no reason or need to feel guilty.”
It’s just excluding ‘factors’ that have the possibility of interfering with me being able to have you whole and lick you up someday, and this doesn’t even count on the killing side.
Dante laughed helplessly.
“Then kill me.”
“Shut up. Don’t say that your mouth is open…!”
“No seriously. If you want to kill this guy, kill me then kill me.”
He nodded his head, pretending to cut his throat with his thumb.
“By the way, if you stun or enchant me and then kill this guy, I’ll kill myself the moment I wake up. And right in front of you.”
“It’s useless even if I try to cure it or revive it. I’ll try again and again until I die. Just watch me commit suicide 24 hours a day for the rest of my life.”
Staring at Olivia with her golden eyes full of tenacity, Dante bared his fangs for the first time.
“You never know? By then, I’ll probably be a half-crazy doll with the ideal look you want. Who knows?”
Pudeuk.
The sound of grinding teeth was heard.
It wasn’t something he gave.
“So, let me ask you one last question, sir.”
The reason, the fundamental reason that caused this situation.
The reasons that bind me, make me cry, and hurt me.
The reason why I shouldn’t have precious things.
Why I shouldn’t talk to other people.
The reason why that lofty black dragon, who doesn’t blink an eye even at tearful pleas, is obsessed with me.
Even though I already knew the answer in my heart.
Even so, I couldn’t give up hope.
She cries, asks her.
What touched the cold cheek wet with tears was the touch of a warm and soft hand.
Touching her red-stained eyes every time, Olivia lowered her eyes halfway and whispered.
She gave the answer she most wanted not to come out of her mouth.
“Because I love you.”
At that moment, Dante felt as if something like a wick snapped and snapped in his heart.
‘Love’ is a feeling that is positioned as the motive for everything we do and the reason for understanding.
Of course, if it was done as a crime or against social norms, it deserves criticism, but at least from Dante’s point of view, the joys and sorrows were mixed.
If the person Olivia loves is Dante, then Olivia is the person she can rely on for Dante.
Only one person in this world.
My whole side.
A person who will definitely stand by my side no matter what I do, without asking or questioning.
Since his parents died at a young age, he was left alone in the world.
With no one to turn to, no one to know.
Perhaps, in order to forget that loneliness, he might have been obsessed with doing ‘work’ for a long time.
Because at that moment when I was working, I felt that my own value was special.
Depression drives people crazy.
Change your values, change your personality and attitude.
Olivia was the first person to give love to Dante, other than his parents.
Even if she didn’t show it on the outside, she was a person who could call her family unconsciously on the inside.
A family is a being that can reconcile no matter how much they fight and quarrel as long as there is love for each other.
If she justifies her actions with her words of love, if she insists that all this is for you,
If you cuddle, soothe, and place me in the enclosure of affection and protection,
Although you know you are being deceived.
──Dante couldn’t truly hate Olivia.
