I Possessed the Villain in the Lily Novel

138 – Soldier (4)

“…What?”

A sneer was heard from beyond the iron window. The closed nature of the detention center did not spread the voice widely and made it echo within it. Lillia’s voice vibrated sadly. She had been taking a little rest, probably from quite a strain on her neck the day before.

“Now kill not only the seed, but also its owner?”

Lilia’s eyes stabbed them like an awl. Wiz’s eyebrows twitched. She moved her feet with her strides and then murmured softly against her bars.

“…Watch your mouth… The flower witch… Can’t afford to… Tolerate your disrespect for us right now…”

“Room? Has that kind of thing been between us since the beginning? Um… I’m not sure~”

“You really…!”

As if not wanting to hear the conversation any more, Stella kicked her against the iron bars.

Tung!

The iron bars staggered from the impact of the kicking, and screamed fiercely. The damp prison air shuddered.

“…Quiet.”

The two women, who had been growling, were finally able to regain their calm. However, that did not mean that he had regained his reason. A blade of raw emotion pooled in her pupils and burned as if to kill the silence at any moment.

“Ha ha… Quiet? Hey, are you guys in a position to talk to me like that?”

Lilia shuddered and shuddered.

“You bastard bastards… Don’t have any affection? No matter how much you’ve been together for a while, how… How…”

At the end of her gaze were cold handcuffs. A symbol of sin that cannot be melted even if heated with body temperature. It’s a gift you got for running rampant in the village. Lilia laughed.

She looked up and saw them through the bars. They are the ones who should wear this now. Abominable figures who robbed themselves.

“Stella. Did you enjoy cutting your friend? Somehow… You’ve been having fun ever since you stabbed him before. Crazy b*tch…”

I even felt betrayed. As I once fought when Iba was sealed, I felt that my affection for him was sincere. After hearing that she had been a childhood friend with him, she thought she deserved it. There were times when she saw the overlapping of herself and herself, creating a sense of inner intimacy with her.

But, she betrayed it.

I gritted my teeth. It was not audible, overshadowed by the rattling of the handcuffs, but the anger was clearly conveyed.

“…”

Stella didn’t bat an eye at the blasphemy that she wouldn’t complain about if she was slapped right now. Rather, he just looked down at Lilia with a warm gaze.

Stella had sympathy for Lilia. It was a pity that he was in the unfortunate position of not being able to do anything while he died. He was just like himself. It was pity that sprang from a sense of kinship, and in a way he was no different from self-pity.

“That must be a mistake.”

“Misunderstanding? What?”

“I was sleeping just like you. I couldn’t do anything. I didn’t cut or block it. Really nothing…”

Lillia’s lips opened and closed her mouth a couple of times. She thought about what to say, but then she chose not to say anything. Her apology or her sympathy was too much for me to convey.

The stark silence dried the humid air.

Stella smiled at her and opened her mouth again.

“…There are rumors that the flower witch is crazy.”

“So, what?”

“Wouldn’t it be a little camaraderie if a brave candidate who did nothing at an important time went crazy together? I heard that a crazy warrior candidate who destroyed the detention center appeared.”

“Ha…”

A weak arc was drawn at the corners of their mouths. The humor was enough to catch my breath for a moment.

“Well… That’s not going to happen… But…”

Wiz intervened in their conversation. Lillia’s eyes narrowed again. A non-Stella hero candidate. It’s clear that she is someone who has directly harmed Iva. She is different from Innis. Even though she knew the identity of the demon king candidate, she did not stop her attack.

Such a wicked person had the audacity to stand in front of her.

“The Flower Witch… The President of the Witch Association announced an additional fact…”

Wiz muttered softly, casting her gaze at the newspaper in her hand.

“…The demon king candidate has been managed by the flower witch Lilia… She, the first discoverer, has taken responsibility and made sure that the runaway doesn’t happen… However, the evil demon king candidate is such her It is presumed to have succeeded in controlling the mind and causing a runaway…”

“Ha… Damn.”

It was clear that these words were spoken hastily as soon as she became her president to defend her who had turned her il rios upside down last evening. It is said that the riot caused by Lilia following this announcement was nothing but mental contamination caused by the demon king candidate. I’ll make that excuse. It was obvious.

Lilia smiled lightly.

“Doesn’t it make you wonder how such an evil candidate for the Demon King didn’t cause any deaths despite running out of control?”

It was clear that people wouldn’t pay much attention to Lillia anyway. It is simply used as a tool to curse the demon king. How evil the demon king is, and how angry he is with those who have taken care of him. It’s just a fact that will be used for such mockery and swearing.

“That’s good for me… It’s easier to get you out…”

“…The Holy Knights don’t have that right?”

“Originally, but… This incident is not an ordinary incident, but a magical one… So even the candidate for the hero has authority…”

Besides, even without the authority, no one would object. Who would rebel against the hero who made a great contribution to defeating the demon king candidate right away? No matter what he did, as long as it wasn’t at the level of a violent crime, he would let it go. To that extent, public sentiment toward Wiz was good.

That praise brought down Wiz, but for those who didn’t know the circumstances, it was a good thing. Whether or not she helped kill the tooth she swore to live with, she’ll be seen as a hero by them.

“Go away. I don’t even want your help.”

“Even if I knew the truth about Eva’s death…?”

Awkwardly, Lillia’s shoulders trembled. Wiz jingled and shook her keys.

“Damn it…”

Biting her lip, she nodded. She had no choice but to do so. I should have heard the truth.

Wiz immediately moved her keys.

I heard the sound of the iron bars opening. In line with that sound, her blood gushed out. It was a fragment of anger that escaped from Lillia’s lips.

Lillia let go of her resentment until her lips bled. She was not simply helped by the enemy. At the end of the last, she was most resentful of the fact that Iba had made the world to blame because of her.

More than his notoriety, he was disgusted with himself who was in a hurry to satisfy his curiosity right now.

Soon, liquids other than blood began to flow from her chin as well.

“Ugh…”

Silently shedding her blood and tears, Lilia felt her own hands free. She wasn’t happy at all. She’d rather she stayed like this and if she rotted away in prison she might be able to meet him.

**

Innis was sitting in a living room waiting for someone. He heard that the mansion was rented out for long-term guests. For a lodging, it was a place full of people’s living energy.

It was the lodging where Lillia and the others were staying.

This is the place guided by the warrior candidates who came to see them unexpectedly, saying that they had something to say about Iba’s death. Although Innis was embarrassed by their approach, he obediently followed the guide without much discomfort.

“As expected…”

Because it was as she thought.

“I didn’t kill Eva.”

There is only one thing to say. Innis was sure.

Just by looking at the attitude of putting the name of the demon king candidate on yourself without hesitation. How could they have been so sure that they knew each other and said that?

Iba and the candidate for the hero are acquaintances. It is also an acquaintance who already knew the identity of Iba.

But the hero candidate attacked Iba. There is only one answer. She had previously consulted with Iba, causing a rampage and subjugating it. To be precise, it was decorated as if it had been subjugated.

Even now, Iba is still alive somewhere, and she just didn’t show up because she couldn’t meet him.

So, he didn’t kill Eva.

It was a leapfrog accident. However, Innis had no choice but to believe that. Just like Stella, if you’re in a situation that’s too hopeless, you roll your thoughts in the most hopeful direction.

“Right… That’s it…”

The more the hope rolled like that grew, the greater the shock he would receive later, but Innis couldn’t afford to think about that right now. Innis had been imagining it ever since they started talking.

I was happy. I felt like a bird swimming in the blue sky. Freedom, the body is light. It felt like it could float like a balloon. That happy imagination was more thrilling than any drug.

As she smiled and raised the corners of her mouth, she felt a presence in the direction of the front door.

“…Innis.”

“Lilia…”

There were eyes of natural light resembling butterflies. There were no firearms like before, and they were dull like a muddy paint bucket. It was rampant with tear marks and dark circles around the eyes. Innis was like him.

“…”

“…”

The two were silent. No one dared to open their mouth. The reason I didn’t even say hello was because it wasn’t that long before we met. Lilia jerked away when her eyes met Innis’s.

A low, sinking air enveloped his lungs. She was cramped It did not open as if an iron rod had been driven into the lips. My mouth felt dry as if it had been soaked in sand, but it was painful to even breathe.

Hard with reality, Ennis escaped to imagination again. Now he thought of the sweet world that would soon come to him. A happy world where there is nothing to blame for Lilia and where she will not suffer from her guilt…

Wiz and Stella entered the living room following Lillia. Among them, Wiz opened her mouth as soon as she sat down.

“Then… I’ll tell you why Eva made that choice…”

Suddenly, Innis was puzzled. What is ‘such a choice’? Doesn’t that sound like suicide? But he soon brushed it off and focused on the story.

‘Because pretending to be subjugated is not a good choice…’

However, as the story progressed, Innis’ pleasant imagination was only shattered. Like a bird with both wings cut off in an instant, I tasted the deep feeling of falling on the ground.

A story about a demon of death. The worst thing that could have happened in Ilios. The end of a long, long story in which all lives could have been lost ended with only one life sacrificing itself.

He did not embellish his sacrifice with rhetoric. The only decoration was the thorny road, terrible filth and blood.

In that way, he replaced all sacrifices with himself, giving birth to a hero who was not a demon of death. Half of those gathered here were the heroes.

Innis was also that hero. A hero who will be praised by everyone who killed the friend he loved with his own hands.

“…That’s how it happened.”

Wiz’s mouth was closed. Lilia laughed, and Stella clasped her hands together and sobbed.

“Ha, so… What can I say? You’ve been brainwashed, so there’s nothing wrong with you? You didn’t kill Eva?!”

Boom!

Lilia screamed loudly, hitting her desk. She was close to screaming.

“Oh no! I… I… Think it was all my fault… I got him involved…”

Wiz’s expressionless face twisted. It looked like she was about to collapse.

“…Resent me… Please… Swear at me and hit me…”

“…What are you saying? Don’t do that. You’re going to die of disgust.”

Wiz’s attitude further offended Lilia. She has that attitude, as if she’s attracted all the world’s misfortune. She was disgusting and funny.

“Do you think you can take responsibility for being resented like that? No. You can’t take responsibility. Yes, if you make it all your fault, you’ll feel like you’re atone… Because that’ll only make you feel better! Damn b*tch, truth confessor.” I thought… It was just your masturbation.”

Innis was silent even as Lilia insulted and ridiculed her. After a while, she looked at Wiz.

“…Isn’t it?”

She grinned. It was an innocent smile. It was foreign and grotesque, like a white crow blooming on the pile of her corpses.

“It’s not. Why are you like that? Don’t look at me like that. It’s not, it can’t be. It’s not. It’s not. It’s not… It’s not!!!”

Inis kept smiling and screamed. Everything I had imagined was shattered.

“Why don’t you deny it… Leeba isn’t dead… Lee, Lilia. You’re the owner of it… You know that? Huh? That, the hero candidate over there… That’s a lie. You know… Why didn’t you say anything…”

The smile twisted into a plea. She looked around her and begged her to come to terms with her own will. It was a request she could not grant.

“So, then you think I killed Eva… Me, I’m Eva’s friend. I’m her most precious friend… We kissed each other… And promised to meet my family… Don’t do that. Don’t lie!”

Innis raised her staff and stood up.

“You liars! Are you trying to trick me?! I don’t believe it… I don’t believe it… There’s no way I could have killed Eva! There’s no way the demon king candidate was Eba!! No! No!!! “

Magic is the power to protect. It is not the power to hurt someone. The power that took off with magic is in defense. Not in aggression It is not the power to kill people. It’s not like that. This study is the power to make more people’s lives richer.

The hand holding the cane trembled.

But why did you kill Eva? Someone whispered

“Noaaa!!!!!”

Innis dropped her wand from her hand. Magic was not the power to protect someone. It was a killing tool sharper than any blade. The demonic scene was just another name for a madman. A madman who had the illusion that he was merely decapitating and protecting people while having fun, that was himself.

“No, no, no, no, no!!!!”

Innis trampled on his staff several times. Bang! Bang! Bang!

“Ah, ah, ah…”

He affirmed his magic. He called me the best magician. It was courage and strength.

I burned it all myself.

Killed him.

It was like that before. It was like that this time too.

I always hurt him. He said he was a friend and took everything from him. This hand, this magic, me.

“aaa!!!”

Innis howled as he tore his hair.

It was a sickly song that would not stop even if his throat was completely damaged.
