I Became A Villain In A Novel
Fifty eight
The atmosphere in the room was so gripping, even though Sean was the leader of the Tiger army who was known as the strongest army on the continent, but the matter of applying of course he was very nervous.
Liona who saw it just silently stroked Cerbe who was still asleep, because the small Cerbe could be hidden in a robe.
"Well, but I hope you break off this engagement after the emperor has no interest in Liona." Duke gave his sharp gaze to Sean.
"Sorry, but I'm serious! Liona is not an item or something that can be made like a toy." Sean replied firmly, there was a respectful tone in his voice, however the person in front of him would be his father-in-law.
"..."
On the other hand, the crown prince had a moment of shock, sometimes he became like a Alzheimer's, sometimes he was very conscious.
The hallucinatory effect of Cecilia had a huge impact on her body, Liona was intending to help the crown prince, but since the empire wanted to propose to her, so that help would be delayed.
"I'm back." Cecilia came through the crown prince's palace window, she was a little dazed then smiled brightly.
"You're back? I miss you so much." The crown prince came over to Cecilia and hugged her tightly.
In the crown prince's embrace, Cecilia grinned, she recited such perverted spells as usual, it amplified the illusion on the crown prince.
The man that Cecilia could make the pedestal of was only the crown prince, the leader of Tiger's army could not be given any illusions, unless he teamed up with Dave to manipulate Sean.
While the emperor of Elefantas he was too difficult because he suffered from gynophobia, of course he knew, although others did not realize it, but Cecilia or Cassia was a good observer.
"Say the emperor wants to betroth you to Duke Asteria's daughter." Cecilia hugged the crown prince and said in a very spoiled tone.
"Huh dare? I will reject it of course, the one I love is only you." The crown prince slipped a strand of hair on Cecilia's ear.
If Liona heard the crown prince's current statement, it could be sure that she would immediately stay away because it was too disgusting and after all her conversation was like sickening dramas.
"I love you too Chris, I always think of you, I'm afraid you're turning away from me."
"You don't worry, my body, my heart, my time, all I have is for you. I loved you so much to the moon."

"I'll look for another one then!" Duke Asteria was furious, of course! How could he hand his daughter over to a bastard like this.
"I'm serious, I also swear I won't find another woman, have a woman or child outside, or pick up a concubine. So allow me to propose to Liona." Sean looks very serious.
Liona also looked at him in surprise, she could feel Sean's sincerity through the contract relationship.
"Dad, I'll take it." Liona said after thinking about everything.
"Liona!"
"Sister!"
The duke and his twin sister glared at Liona, did he not know that the male was dangerous, they thought. Of course Sean smiled feeling that he won.
"Give me a reason why you're taking it?" Asked the Duke after sighing.
"He was willing to give his life to me because of the contractual relationship, if I die then he will die, and if he dies I will live on." It was clearly Liona with a hint of nostalgic feeling that felt bland.
The atmosphere became so silent, it turned out that this bastard contracted with Liona just to protect her.
"Well, I'll take it but if you hurt her, I'll kill you right then and there!" Remembering Duke, of course Sean nodded quickly he had no intention of hurting Liona.
Sean gives a ring to Liona to tie her, actually when the woman has been betrothed the woman must live with the male side.
However, since Liona has not performed the maturation ceremony and is also a minor, she is not very obliged to live with her future husband, and Sean does not force Liona to stay with him.
Whether out of confidence or he already knew that Duke had no choice, Sean had brought dowry for Liona and Duke Asteria.
Although the engagement is not officially done, Liona and Sean have signed the defense documents.
They would officially announce this engagement after Liona reached her maturity age, of course at this time Sean had to come to the imperial side to not force the Asteria Duke.
"Then, I will meet the emperor to discuss this." Sean got up, although the Duke was a little reluctant yet he had to accept him as a son-in-law.
"Dad, I want to try opening the box with the dragon pattern." Said Liona suddenly after Sean left from there.
Although the Duke was surprised, he smiled and took Liona away to his study. Alex and Xavier automatically follow them, the twin brothers have tried to open it but have no reaction.
The Duke tells Liona, Alex and Xavier to sit in wait, ordering a servant to pour a cup of tea on his children.
"You want to try opening it too?" Xavier asked, he thought Liona was not too interested in that.
"Yes, said the father of all Asteria descendants allowed to try to open it."
"Well, who knows you're a match." Alex stroked Liona's head fondly, his sister was truly precious to him.
The duke came carrying a dragon-patterned box, although faintly, sometimes the dragon pattern was seen to always react if it was near Liona, it might really be a match.
"Here, try to open it!" The Duke handed Liona the dragon pattern box, of course Liona was nervous but she still had to open it.
After calming down for a while, Liona started to open the dragon pattern box slowly, and it was completely exposed! To Duke, Alex and Xavier's surprise.
The shadow of the black dragon came out of the pattern, the sky outside became so dark, yet no one was aware of this strange phenomenon because after the box in the open an invisible shield was sticking out into the sky, only Sean felt this way because he made it.
A thunderous dragon roar rang out, dashing rapidly towards the sky, the land of Duchy moving quite violently like an earthquake.
Duchy: The Duke's estate
The duke, Alex and Xavier looked at the dragon's shadow in astonishment, while Liona held her head, feeling so sick.
There was a fragment of unknown memories, but it looked faint, and the feeling was so familiar, yet Liona felt a little claustrophobic.
"Aletta, I love you!"
"Aletta forgive me!"
Foreign yet familiar voices buzzed within his head, the Duke and his twin brother were unaware of Liona's strangeness from being too focused on the dragon's shadow in the sky.
"Leon."
The dragon shadow suddenly turned around and darted rapidly into Liona's body.
The ill-prepared Liona collapsed for a moment then fell unconscious.
"Liona!"
