The Obsessive Male Lead Found Out I’m Alive

“I can’t bear to shoot you in the head because your face is so precious.”

Kaiden was shot in the shoulder and passed out. The assassin, who thought he would die of excessive bleeding, took the gun and disappeared.

– Shoot!

The cold early summer rain began to pour on his face and the bloodied floor.

“Are you okay?”

It was a port city on the outskirts of the capital, Chanter. predominantly occupied by mercenaries. And it was full of poorhouses that had been purged from the capital. At the age of 12, when they had to leave the poorhouse, boys became mercenaries or knights. Girls were sold as store assistants or worked like slaves at cheap labor costs.

“Go away.”

Kaiden was short of breath.

The cold rain that fell on his face felt cold. He had never received any warmth in his life. When he was a Prince, everything was on thin ice, and his mother, who he believed would love him, eventually died.

He remembered his mother smiling at the moment when her neck fell at the hands of the Marquis of Logias. Maybe she was happy to be able to leave this boring life, Kaiden often thought.

But as he approached the point of death, he realized how useless the idea of revenge was. He wasn’t so afraid of death.

“I have money in my right pocket.”

He thought someone would rob his body if he died, so he said that to the girl standing near him; staring.

“Yes, I see.”

Strangely, when the girl’s face caught his eye, he thought he was going to die soon. The girl looked like an angel from a book. Because she was looking at him with purple eyes shining like jewels, with beautiful platinum blonde hair tied together.

He laughed at the thought that a bad man like him might die and go to paradise. Maybe he was looking at something in vain before he died.

When Kaiden opened his eyes again, there was a sound of rain, but he was not in the rain.

“What are you going to do!”

Kaiden freaked out as soon as he opened his eyes. Because of the torch pointed at his shoulder.

“If you don’t burn it with fire, you’ll die. And it will take a lot of time for the doctor to come.”

He looked at the girl he had seen before he fainted, bringing a torch with her.

“Just leave it alone.”

“Then you’ll die. You also bled a lot.”

“Let me die.”

He said so, but the girl stared at him and put the torch on his shoulder.

“Cough!”

When he hardened in pain, the girl took out the fire.

“If you don’t do this, you’ll die before the doctor comes.”

“Oh, my God!”

As she bent down in the sharp pain, the girl said, pressing the wound with her hand with a clean cloth she had brought.

“You can faint.”

“Keoeuk!”

The pain was so severe that he fainted.

When he opened his eyes again, the doctor said something to the girl he had seen earlier.

“He has to take medicine three times a day. And he has to change the bandages every day. Use this medicine to disinfect the wound.”

“Yes.”

“And.”

“I’m listening.”

“Good job. If he hadn’t been burned, he would have died of excessive blood loss.”

“Then what should he eat from now on?”

“It’s good to boil cow’s blood and feed him.”

“Oh, then I’ll have to ask Uncle Ralph.”

As the girl nodded, the young female doctor stroked the girl’s head and said,

“Me coming here…”

“Yes, I’ll keep it a secret. Thank you, doctor.”

“Yes. You’re welcome, Lina.”

The female doctor, who didn’t look like a doctor, hurried out.

Kaiden closed his eyes again.

“It’s no use being nice to me.”

Kaiden said so, looking at the girl who gave him meaningless help. Then the girl looked at him and smiled. Then, without hesitation, the bandage was ripped off his shoulder.

“You’re good at holding it in.”

He was sick, but only frowned and did not react. If he thought about the injuries he had been hurt with before, this was worth enduring.

“You should have let me die.”

He said so as if he resented the girl.

When the moment came when Kaiden thought his life would end, he felt no regrets. To the extent that he wondered if he was trying to get revenge to live.

Even if he killed the Marquis of Logias, he did not seem to be able to relieve his anger.

Everything was useless. When he let go of everything like that, it was strange that he felt warm. Because no one had ever reached out to him.

“Get rid of it.”

He glared at the girl as she tried to touch his wound with a bottle of medicine.

“There are many children who get hurt in the poorhouse.”

Kaiden pushed the girl’s hand away. Then the girl panicked and looked at him.

“If you touch me, I’ll kill you. So go away.”

“Why? Why do you want to die?”

The girl looked at him as if she couldn’t understand. When he saw the girl’s angelic appearance, he wondered if this was truly real.

But the pain from the burn still lingered on his shoulder. Maybe it was because of the painkillers, but his mind was blurry.

“Please go away.”

He couldn’t get warmth from the girl. Because no one had ever reached out to him. He couldn’t even understand why the girl was doing this to him.

“I’ll be back later. You have to eat for a while.”

“Get lost. Please.”

He glared vigilantly until the girl nodded her head and went out.

And when the door closed completely, he blacked out.

~~~~

When Kaiden opened his eyes again, the girl he saw earlier was opening the door stealthily, as if to change the bandage.

“Do you want to die?”

“But if you leave it like that, it will hurt too much. Can’t you take some painkillers?”

He tried to get up, but he couldn’t. He had no strength all over him. He couldn’t even sit down.

“Please go away!”

Kaiden cried, screaming. But the girl didn’t go out this time. Then she came in with a determined face and grabbed his arm.

“Let me die! Kill me!”

He couldn’t figure out why he said that. It was strange that the girl didn’t want anything from him and helped him, so he said it without realizing it.

“Do you need my money? Then take it. Do you want my gun? Or the sword? I’ll give you everything, so please….”

“I don’t need that.”

The girl ignored him shouting and came to the side. Then she put down the bucket of water she brought, squeezed a clean cloth, and wiped his wound.

“Then why are you doing this?”

“I couldn’t watch you because you were hurt.”

“Don’t lie to me. And if I die….”

“I felt like your eyes would trample me when you died.”*

*TN: Give her nightmares out of guilt of not helping

The girl spoke calmly and tried to wipe the blood from his shoulder.

– Slap!

He glared at the girl’s hand.

“I told you to let me die.”

“You said so but it’s impossible, I can’t.”

He said it frighteningly, but the girl said it with an equally serious look as if she would not lose. Then she washed the fallen cloth clean again and tried to put it on his shoulder.

– Slap!

When he knocked it out again, the girl wetted the cloth again casually. She brought it back.

– Slap!

Despite Kaiden’s continued refusal, the girl continued to do so.

“What’s the big deal about being trampled on?”

“I…”

“Did the person who sent you to kill me make you do that?”

“What are you talking about?”

He looked into the girl’s eyes for a moment. Purple clear eyes were shaking purely as if they had no other intention.

“If I were going to kill you, I would have killed you two days ago. You said you were the one who wanted to die.”

Then his gaze at the girl became blurred.

The girl sighed and wet the cloth again and brought it to him.

“If you’re going to save me, take responsibility for me.”

“I will.”

The girl answered so casually.

“I’ll take responsibility for you. So why don’t you stay calm?”

At that time, Kaiden had no idea that it was the girl saying it to escape the moment.

He had to get the treatment that the girl gave him.

~~~~

By the time Kaiden’s thoughts were over, he was already in Veron.

“Where is Evelina?”

“Heuck, I, I don’t know…!”

Upon arrival, Kaiden saw a security guard at the village well and pointed a gun at him.

“That’s a useless answer.”

– Bang!

“Eek!”

When the security guard collapsed, a woman holding a bucket of water next to him looked at him as if she was scared. Black hair and red eyes. She looked as afraid as a man on the battlefield.

“Kyaaaaak!”

She shouted and Kaiden pointed the gun again.

“Where is Evelina?”

At his low voice, the woman holding the bucket of water sank to the floor.

“S, save me…!”

– Bang!

“Useless.”

Only then did he see his men flocking around him with the sound of horses’ hooves.

“Bring all the inhabitants of Veron before my eyes.”

When Kaiden’s orders were issued, the inhabitants of Veron, numbering less than ten, were brought before Kaiden and forced to kneel.

“S, Save me!”

“Your Majesty! Why are you doing this to us!”

“It’s all our fault!”

“Please save me!”

“I have a child!”

Kaiden looked coldly at them and pulled out a knife. Then he approached the line and said,

“Tell me where Evelina is.”

“I don’t know who that is… Eek…!

The neck of the man on the left, who was closest to Kaiden, rolled.

“Hiik!”

The security guard next to him wet his pants and curled up to the ground. Because he knew it was his turn.

“Where is Evelina?”

“Pl, please… Ugh, Sa, save… Ugh…”

The man whose body was cut in two fell completely to the floor like that.

“He, Hecate’s house!”

Lady Rendall cried. Then Kaiden put a knife to her neck and said,

“Guide me where it is.”
