I Became Crown Prince's Wife
Following the Light in Darkness (12)

Compared to before, Serphania seemed to have been much calmer.

“Thank you for saying that.”

"It's all Phillip's fault."

Ser always looks like a little girl. Even now, his appearance had not changed, but the innocence in his eyes was nowhere to be seen.

"I'll kill him."

Instead, there was anger in his eyes.

“Ser, Phillip is dead! A thousand years have passed...!”

"I know."

He said coldly.

“He will be reincarnated into one of the bodies of his descendants.”

"So, you know that Phillip has been reincarnated ..."

“Yes, I can feel his presence. He lives around here. Or is it a small island? Yes, he lives on a small island across the sea.”

A small island nearby?

The Emperor expressly forbade people from entering the Valley of Chaos and only those who had obtained permission could be there now.

So there was no way Richard was anywhere near her.

Does that mean the little island he's talking about is Gilbert Bellacian's seclusion?

“I told him not to go, but he dumped me! I will kill him with his descendants! Even the country he founded. I'll destroy all hers.”

Ser yelling.

“Ser, no!”

However, she ignored my words and smiled naively as she held my hand.

“Let's kill them all. Then we will live together happily. After Phillip and his descendants left, we can live peacefully together.you also want that, don't you, Laontel?”

Ser wants to eliminate the Asteris Empire and Phillip's bloodline.

“Ser, don't do that.you shouldn't kill innocent people in the name of revenge ... "

Ser's expression turned grim and he shouted, Ser,

“Why are they innocent people!? They're sealing me! They sealed me for a thousand years! If I manage to open this door myself, they will close it again! The people in the Asteris and Phillip Empire were all the same. Laontel, there's nothing good about me but you! They all betrayed me. I'm gonna kill everybody! Everyone!"

My whole body hurts a lot on the way here.

There were many times when I just wanted to die, but compared to me, Ser had experienced worse. He's been locked up in this hell for a thousand years.

He was trapped in a small ball with a burning fire covering it on all sides so he could not even move.

I can't even imagine the pain Ser is feeling, but I'll never agree to that plan.

"I know you've been through terrible things and unimaginable pain, but Ser, people have also been fooled by Phillip's words."

“Laontel, why are you defending them? You're the only one who cares about me! You are my friend, you have to help me!”

"Ser, if you kill them, you'll live with regret."

Many people have died because Ser gave his powers to Phillip. Even then, he was ready to die and considered what Phillip was doing to be his fault. But after suffering for a thousand years in pain, he lost his mind. However, if he did what he said, I'm sure he'll regret it for the rest of his life.

Besides, I have a lot of people I have to protect.

Blake, Tenstheon, Diana, Melissa, Hans, Edon, Terry, Collin…

There are so many good people in the Asteric Empire . There's no way I could sit and watch them die.

"There are many good people in this empire."

Ser looked at me, boiling with hatred.

“Ah, I forgot.you were on Phillip's side, weren't you?”

"What do you mean?"

“You're the one Phillip likes! You must have teamed up with him to betray me! ”

"That's not true!"

“You said we were friends!you called me friend! You must be lying to me !! ”

“I never betrayed you! We're still friends. I also died because of Phillip so how can I side with him?”

"Is it because of the Crown Prince?"

My heart sank as soon as he mentioned it.

"Do you know Blake?"

“We are happy every day? How can you say it when you've seen it all!”

I knew he was suffering from unimaginable pain, so I tried to understand everything he said.

But I couldn't stand it when he said it was because Blake and I were suffering too.

“You know how painful Blake's suffering is! People hate and torment her, I am also very scared because she can die anytime!”

“I still suffer more than him! Even if it hurts, you two could die! But I can't! It's all because of you! Why did you give back the blessing I gave you? If I had stayed as a human, I would have died! And why didn't you come early? I've been waiting for you! I called you many times!”

Following his cry, a powerful mana wave came at me.

My body was thrown and fell from the impact.

It was so painful that I couldn't even scream. While I groaned, Ser walked towards me.

“It must be because of the Crown Prince. Come to think of it, everything had turned into a mess ever since he appeared. I'll kill the Crown Prince first. Then you'll be on my side, right? ”

"No!"

I screamed and grabbed his leg.

“Why can't I?”

"Don't touch her!"

“You will leave me for a man? But we're friends, right?”

"I'm not leaving you!"

"You! Just like Phillip, you also tried to leave me! I'll kill them all!”

He might actually kill Blake.

“No, Ser! Please no! I love her! He's the one I love! Please, Ser!”

I've lost Rakshul.I can't lose Blake like this either.

But the more desperate I got, the colder Ser's gaze towards me turned around.

"Love? Do you really believe in that?why are you so obsessed with that shit? Are you really going to betray me out of love ?! ”

"I didn't betray you!"

"For love! Isn't that funny? If he's so valuable, then give me your life instead. ”

“I'll give it to you.”

I said without hesitation.

A thousand years ago, I could do nothing and lost Rakshul just like that.

I'd rather die than lose him again.

"You lied."

“I don't. Kill me now. But in exchange for my life, don't touch her.”

I looked into his eyes.

His blue eyes trembled slightly before he calmed down.

But before I could relax, all of a sudden, she screamed loudly, she said,

“Then die! Die for me! I trust you and wait a long time!"

The power of attack is attacking me.

Maybe I can stop the attack if I use the power of light he gave me.

But I closed my eyes calmly and accepted the attack.

This time, I have a chance to protect Blake.

The great power of light swallowed me completely.

“La-Laontel..?!”

I heard Ser calling my name as a white light swallowed me from all sides. It wasn't long before I fell into a completely silent darkness.

I couldn't move and my body felt like it was going to melt.

Am I really going to die now?

At least Blake's gonna be okay. Suddenly, I felt something warm on my wrist. It was the bracelet Baekhan gave me.

A warm light shot out from the bracelet and wrapped around my body while fighting Ser's strength.

As the two forces fought, I felt the bracelet crack and shatter into pieces.

Soon, I lost consciousness.
