Chapter 182
“We have to find the princess, Zagnac.”
Livia helped her. She comforted her, cheered her on, and became her strength. There was no way she could let Livia die like that.
With her request, Zagnac nodded. He also had the same thoughts as Azela.
The next moment, Azela pulled out the sword from her waist. Maybe the blood of several people would be on this sword today. Still, she didn’t mind because she came with that in mind in the first place.
Boo-thump!
And at that time, a roar came from inside the Imperial Palace. Zagnac and Azela looked at each other. It was definitely true. The only thing that could make such a loud sound was Livia’s magic.
Two people ran towards the direction of the sound.
As they went inside, they heard someone screaming and yelling.
“Princess!”
The direction from which the sound came was towards the banquet hall. When they opened the tightly closed door and entered, the knights who followed Chises, Livia, and the prince and princess, who were alive and not dead, were in conflict.
Livia stood at the forefront to protect her brothers and sisters who had ignored her. Her straight, proud back was strong.
“Livia. Come with me. Then, you can live.”
Chises, hiding behind the knights, was stretching out his hand toward Livia. He also knew that he would be at a disadvantage if he did not have her on his side in this fight.
“Livia, these are the people who ignored you.”
“….”
“These are people you don’t need to help or save. These are the people who cursed you and wanted you dead. These are the people who threw stones at you without hesitation.”
Livia’s shoulders slumped at Chises’s words.
“N, n, no! We, we…! We’re sorry, Livia! Help!”
“Ye, yes. Sorry! We didn’t mean to do that!”
When the situation came where her strength was needed, her brothers and sisters begged her. No one was sincere in that apology. These were just pretentious sentences to avoid this situation.
Livia knew it, too. Her hands were shaking slightly.
Chises, who saw this, did not miss this opportunity.
“Think about it carefully, Livia.”
“….”
“Why have you had such a hard time? These are the people who gave you a hard time. Do you really need to save them?”
“That.”
“I’m not asking you to kill them. Livia, you just…”
Walking forward slowly, Chises calmly comforted her and spoke.
“Just close your eyes. All you have to do is do nothing.”
If Livia turned to his side when he took power, no one would be able to oppose him. Chises, who had experienced her power first-hand, was convinced of that, and that was why he had no intention of killing her in the first place.
Livia was just surprised by the unexpected situation and ran away.
For him, Livia was the number one priority to be captured. Even if he killed all his brothers and sisters, he would keep Livia by his side. It was because when he became Emperor, she would be the one who could empower him more than anyone else.
Even if not now, she was of great usefulness to him. He didn’t need to kill the pieces when he could use them.
Chises smiled kindly.
“Livia.”
“….”
“You just have to stay still.”
“Li, Li, Livia…! We, we were sorry!”
Azela and Zagnac just watched this whole situation. They couldn’t intervene. This was her life and choice, and no one could criticize it, no matter what she chose.
Livia turned around with a vain expression.
“…I wanted to be a family.”
“Li, Li, Livia. Help us. We are family.”
She looked back and forth between her brothers and sisters standing behind her and Chises holding out his hand on the other side before she burst out laughing. The sight of Livia smiling while covered in blood felt a little grotesque.
“It’s funny. Because of this power, I was shunned by everyone.”
“….”
“Now, everyone wants me because of this power.”
Both of them looked at her smiling face with bated breath as Livia drooped her shoulders. She looked exhausted. The next moment, as she grabbed the sword that had fallen on the floor, Azela watched anxiously, wondering if Livia might be making the wrong choice.
To her, Livia was like a younger sister.
However, Livia did not do that. She picked up the sword and threw it towards her brothers, who were hiding behind her. The brothers dodged ominously from the suddenly thrown bloody sword.
“… I’m exhausted.”
“Li, Livia.”
“Now that I think about it, that’s true.”
Livia sighed and ran her fingers through her hair.
It was an expression that transcended everything. At the same time, Chises took a step back, looking anxious. When she became an ally, she was dependable, but when she became an enemy, she became a scary enemy.
That was Livia.
“Why am I caught in the middle of this? What good does it do?”
She smiled bitterly.
“Livia, help, help us. We’re fa, family!”
“…Family?”
As her red eyes shone, the prince met her resentful gaze and covered his mouth with his palm. Livia looked at her family, who were looking at her carefully. Many have already died, and only a few remain.
Their eyes were all filled with the same emotions.
It was fear.
“You must be scared of me, Sister.”
“…Li, Livia.”
“You spit in my food, and when I was young, you cut my hair with scissors.”
“I’m, I’m sorry about that. I, I was young back then.”
“You’re not hitting me today, Brother.”
“Li, Livia… stop, stop Chises. Think, think about it. Doing this with family—!”
“You said I wasn’t family.”
Everyone fell silent.
“When I called you ‘Brother,’ you slapped me, and if I happened to touch you, you threatened to cut off my fingers.”
“….”
Livia turned her head to the right this time.
There, Chises was seen hiding behind the knights. As her expression changed, he seemed quite frightened.
“Whenever Brother was in a bad mood, he would come to me and vent his anger.”
“…Li, Livia.”
“Everyone here denied me as family.”
“….”
“But at this moment, I suddenly became part of the family.”
When she raised her tired head, Livia looked straight ahead and Azela’s eyes met hers. There was only one person in her life.
A person who did not let go of her hand even after finding out her identity.
As she looked at Azela quietly for a long time, Chises turned his head to follow her gaze before his eyes widened in surprise, as if he had finally discovered Azela and Zagnac.
“Over, over there! There’s an outsider!”
Chises shouted loudly, pointing at Zagnac.
At his shout, numerous knights aimed their spears and swords at the two of them. Azela, holding the sword, stepped back to protect Zagnac.
“Azela.”
“Don’t worry. After all, I am your escort.”
“N, no! Don’t hurt the woman! The man! Just kill that guy! That devil! That’s the devil!”
As the knights pointed their swords at Azela, a startled Chises threw up his hands and shouted loudly.
After all, the fight for the throne was started for her in the first place. However, as long as Azela stood blocking the path, the knights could not help but attack her. The knights’ spears and swords were aimed at her.
Surprised, Chises waved his hand and shouted for them to stop, though the knights, with their fighting spirit burning, did not stop. They already considered Azela and Zagnac as enemies.
“No!”
Chises screamed, and that was when the spear and sword were swung.
Azela tightly gripped the sword in her hand, and she let out a loud roar.
However, all the many knights suddenly scattered. As she looked around with a confused look, Livia, who had been standing behind, stepped in front of her.
“You dare…”
