The Blood Knight’s Villains

My Villains Episode 169

42. Chain (1)

A fluorescent light flickered and went out.

A shadow fell on the faces of the men standing in front of the hospital bed. There is an unknown feeling of discomfort.

“…Is that true?” “Oh yes.” My head is dizzy because of a hangover.

What the hell is this?

“If you don’t remember, do you mean you have amnesia?”

I scratched my head while fiddling with a patient uniform with a familiar college mark on it.

“…I think the film cut after drinking.”

A sigh came from among the men. In the hallway, a doctor is explaining something to a middle-aged man.

“……A series of drugs… Depending on the prognosis

, an interview or an EEG… For now, absolute stability…

“Where is the test?”

Someone’s question drowned out the doctor’s voice.

“Are you clear?”

“yes.”

“Uh…

the men’s eyes are filled with an inexplicable sense of anticipation.

“Come to think of it, it looks like Soha came to pick me up yesterday… “Yesterday?”

“yes. Around eleven o’clock at twelve-”

“…is that the end?”

When I nodded, the men left the room with a disappointed expression.

I was left alone in an eight-person hospital room. I couldn’t see my clothes or belongings.

Looking around, I looked out the window and froze.

“…uh.” The campus was covered in white snow.

“Uh-uh-”

Waking up from a good night’s sleep and stretching, a moan flowed out by itself.

Well, how long has it been since you fell asleep like this? I feel like I slept without knowing the real world… I

rubbed my eyes and looked around, and it was a room in the Yeongju-gwan I was used to.

Two people were sitting by the bed on which I lay.

The one sitting near my face was lying on his stomach with his hair hanging down. You could tell who it was just by looking at her short body in a white shirt, her long, slender fingers, and her lush blonde hair, not to mention the delicate scent of lime.

I carefully brushed Ellen’s hair behind her ear. The long eyelashes, the sharp nose, the lips that sputter, the transparent skin… The

small scar left on the auricle of the left ear brings back memories.

Black wolves Randall’s mercenaries Palace wizards Queen Anupad Black passage Ushtu’s attendants and dark knights…

“Umm.”

Ellen’s neck shrunk at the touch of her ear lobe. I quickly removed my hand and ran a hand through his hair.

Then, suddenly, he turned his head and screamed.

“Hey, what a surprise!”

A woman was sitting next to the sleeping Ellen. A woman sitting still and blinking her eyes like a still life painting.

“long time no see.”

“Umm-”

I stared blankly at the woman who spoke in a calm tone.

The face I saw while going through an out-of-body experience not too long ago. This is the same face I saw on the monitor on Earth.

But I don’t feel the thrill of being used to it at all. Is it because it’s the first time we’ve seen each other face-to-face so close?

Wow I can’t speak How did a person look like this?

Ellen, who had been sleeping while I was wriggling, woke up wriggling between her brows.

“Umm”

The guy rubbed his eyes and looked at me with blank eyes for a moment. Then I was surprised and suddenly came to my heart.

“trunnion!”

“Ellen.”

Ellen stretched out her arms and hugged me around my chest. I patted him on the back and laughed.

“Are you very worried? Why are you like this all of a sudden?”

Then Ellen glanced at the woman sitting next to her and pursed her lips.

“…not all of a sudden.”

“ o Huh 2”

“But are you okay? Is there anything strange?”

“Wonderful?”

“You were contaminated by the magic of another dimension. It was quickly purified, but just in case.”

I smiled at the guy who looked up into my eyes.

“are you okay. I think I just slept soundly…

“Of course. Because I slept for two full days.”

“Two days?”

“It was contaminated, and it put a lot of strain on the body. If you lie down for two days…

Somehow, your back feels a little sore.

I hung my head and suddenly raised my head.

“Right together?”

“…Utequai searched the forest and brought both him and Zanavas.”

“Are you not hurt?”

“I got hit with a crossbow, but now

I’m fine with treatment.”

After letting out a sigh of relief, he cast his gaze at the black-haired woman again.

…I was told how to treat this woman. My head is pounding because the memories of Kim Seung-soo and Phoenix are mixed up.

‘Skiele’, the head of Zahakar and the duke of Ireland, had a younger brother.

His name is ‘Akele’, and he is said to be the best knight in Ireland.

Unlike other aristocratic families, the brothers Skiele and Akelle had a strong friendship.

So, as soon as Schielle ascended to the dukedom, he gave his younger brother several titles along with the rank of Count Danseung.

Akele, who became a count, served as the commander of the guards of ‘Tow’s Den’ and the guards commander of the duke’s palace, the third admiral of Ireland.

Akele was a man worthy of the right hand of the twin royal family. It means that he worshiped power, enjoyed killing, and was ruthless like a snake.

There was a woman who stole Akele’s heart. It was a beauty who became a slave he met while fighting pirates.

Attracted by her looks, Akele, who had a crush on her, soon fell deeply for her character.

The woman named ‘Lira’ has rich sensitivity and good character enough to imbue the emotionless Akele.

Akele and Lyra fell deeply for each other, and their love soon bore fruit. to have a child

Then, in spite of the cold objection of her cousin and wife, Akele accepted Lira as her concubine.

In court, Li Ra gave birth to a healthy son, but died of childbirth fever.

The child born that way was Phoenix.

…Suddenly, I have a question.

No matter how much I search Phoenix’s memories, it seems that he has never been saddened by longing for his dead mother.

Am I simply not remembering?

Or is it because of Phoenix’s personality that doesn’t reveal his true feelings?

If not, did he really not feel any emotion?

Phoenix was a child with strong blood from the royal family to the extent that such a question could arise.

He was indifferent to people, enjoyed learning martial arts, and never missed an opportunity to kill.

Although her innate magical powers and talent for blood-sculpting were a bit lacking, as she grew up, she had a bigger body than her father, Akele.

The cold atmosphere flowing through his veins was unavoidable, but he resembled his mother and had a handsome appearance.

Phoenix, who grew up with the other children in the family thanks to his father’s consideration, becomes engaged when he turns 15 years old.

The opponent was her cousin, Heila.

Heila of Valuin. A girl from the same family as Zaharkar, she was also the younger sister of the man who would become the next Duke of Illant, ‘Caisis of Valuin’.

Heila, known as the most beautiful and smartest girl in Razil, but Phoenix was not happy at all.

It wasn’t Heila that he wanted, it was her sister, Isla.

Looking back on it as Kim Seung-soo, it was a very profound feeling. It was a way of thinking that was difficult to understand.

Heela and Ayla were so different that it was unbelievable that they were real sisters.

The younger sister, Heila, was as beautiful as an angel had carved her, but the older sister, Isla… well, to be honest, she wasn’t even jokingly beautiful.

Nevertheless, Phoenix wanted Ayla. To be precise, I wanted her smile.

Isla was a mutant.

She laughed happily when the wind was good, wept sadly when her horse died, and became angry when her cousins sheathed each other.

That was what Phoenix wanted. He believed that Ayla could fill his deficiency.

Perhaps, as Kim Seung-soo, Phoenix

seemed to love Ayla.

However, Ayla married Phoenix’s older brother and Akele’s legitimate son, Ganix. It was marked as the so-called ‘breeder’, the conceived person who would give birth to the next duke.

The day Ayla got married.

Phoenix shed tears for the first time in his life. Under the shady gardens of the duke’s palace, until the moon was completely tilted.

Fortunately for Phoenix, his marriage was postponed. It is thanks to her opponent, Heila, who has an unknown disease. A disease that arbitrarily absorbs the mana of the atmosphere.

And 5 years passed.

By the time Phoenix, who had the best skills among his peers, finished his seed life and was appointed as a knight.

Ayla committed suicide by hanging herself.

Right after the funeral, Phoenix left the palace.

After clearing my mind, I opened my mouth, scratching my eyebrows.

“Heyla, right?”

“huh.”

Heila was staring at me. It seems that those emotionless eyes are digging into me one after another.

…you noticed?

Yes, you must have noticed.

Heila is a cousin of Phoenix and even engaged at one time. There’s no way you don’t know Phoenix’s personality. Now, I am much closer to Kim Seung-soo than Phoenix. He’s not a cold and heartless guy like Phoenix, he’s just an ordinary petit bourgeois.

Unless you’re an idiot, you’ll probably notice right away that I’m a completely different person from Phoenix, who only looks like a shell.

Well, let’s make the most of Phoenix’s memories. My personality… I insist that it changed while traveling.

“Uh- long time no see. Five years?”

“that’s right.”

Heila blinked quietly.

Is it because of her beautiful face?

Even the smallest flicker feels so interesting.

The movement of the eyelids and the crossing of the long eyelashes breathed a tiny bit of life into the face that was like a painting or sculpture. It is a drastic change that seems insignificant, like a drop of red ink on a white drawing paper.

A calm voice tickled my ear.

As much as the blinking of the eyes, the moving of the lips also drew attention. When the red lips parted and the white teeth showed through, I felt anxious for some reason…

“Poi?”

“Uh huh?”

I hurriedly turned my head to see Ellen looking up at me with a worried expression.

“Your complexion is not good. are you okay?”

“Oh, it’s okay.”

I shook my head a couple of times and smiled.

“I’m perfectly fine.”

“o uh……”

—M .

Leaving behind the sobbing Ellen, she turned her gaze back to Heila.

…Well, let’s avoid eye contact. I feel like I’m losing my mind.

“I’m sorry, what did you say?”

“He said he hadn’t seen him since Ganix and Ayla’s wedding.”

” ah.”

I nodded awkwardly and fell silent again.

Well, no matter how much Phoenix’s memories were searched, there was nothing special about Heila. Maybe it was because he was so indifferent to people

.

Then I thought of Heila’s companions.

“Ah, the blood knights?”

I feel ashamed when I think of my body, which ran amok according to its instincts, out of its mind. But I spoke in a bold tone.

“I think I made a mistake by losing my mind for a second.”

“are you okay. I cured it with potion.”

“I’m glad. I just want to say hello Where are you all?”

“It’s on Mount Graduil.”

“…to Mount Graduil? why?”

“Because I have to avoid people’s eyes.”

What are you talking about?

I asked her, narrowing my brows.

“Why are you avoiding gaze?”

“Everyone who sees the blood knights will think of the two families of Razil.”

“however?”

“If there are blood knights near you, there will be people who will guess your true identity.”

Heyla continued as I made a face that I still didn’t understand.

“You are the conceived child of the Zaharkar family. The fact that you were knighted by the prince of the royal family of Zeore must never be known.”

…Oh yeah.

After the conquering king, ‘Jeoth of Zeore’ subjugated Ireland, Zahakar and Baluin, who served as kings, fell into mediocre nobles.

So, the two families traditionally regarded the royal family of Zeore as enemies at heart. However, it is only natural that the person who will succeed the family will be loyal to it…

…Wait a minute.

“But am I a conceived child?”

“o” huh.

“Suddenly, what are you talking about?”

I quickly recalled and told Heyla.

“The conceived ones are Ganix and Ayla. No, I heard that you would become the conceived child because Ayla died without giving birth,”

Ellen intervened from the side as I looked confused.

“Did you not know? This woman says she is your fiancee.”

“fiancee? Oh yes it was.”

Ellen’s eyes lit up at my words.

“You said that?”

“The engagement was terminated when Heila was designated as the new conceived child. Because passing on the succession is far more important than the bastard’s engagement.”

“……under.”

He snorted and turned his head quickly to glance at Heyla.

“I was wondering if something came out of nowhere, was it the ‘ex’ fiancée?”

Heila was still looking at me, not even looking at Ellen. She nodded and answered calmly.

“It could have been.”

Is it an illusion?

Heila’s immaculate black eyes twinkled gloomily.

“But as Ganix died, you were designated as the new conceived child.”

“…. .what?”

“And from the beginning the engagement was not broken. Poi you left without a word and I had no intention of breaking the engagement.”

I grabbed my head and waved my hands.

“Wait a minute. Who is dead?”

“Ganics.”

Raised Garnix from Phoenix’s memory.

A young man with 300 eyes, a tough impression, and a despicable mind. My half-brother with Phoenix and I have a three-year gap. After getting beaten up while sparring with Phoenix, the ugly older brother grabbed all kinds of pods and harassed them. An asshole who married Ayla despite not being proud.

That was all I could remember about Ganix.

“Is Ganix dead? why?”

“He died of a fever.”

“…fever? Although Ganix is on the ugly side, he is known as a Blood Knight, but he died of a fever?”

Heila just nodded quietly.

“When did you die?”

“In April.”

“Did he die as soon as he married you in April?”

“no.”

After a firm nod, there was silence for a moment. Heila blinked three or four times before opening her mouth again.

“He died the night before the wedding.”

” ah.”

“Duke Skiele passed away that day too.”

“…Your uncle died too?”

My head is burning because I heard unexpected news one after another.

From Kim Seung-soo’s point of view, they were no different from strangers, and from Phoenix’s point of view, they weren’t very concerned.

“There is nothing complicated about it.”

Heila continued with a calm demeanor.

“Kaisis has become the new duke, and you and I are obligated to produce an heir.”

“No, all of a sudden it…

“That’s it.”

I swallowed dry saliva as I met Heila’s black, sparkling eyes.
