An Extra Who Wants To Escape The Obsessive Male Lead - Chapter 93.2
Chapter 93.2
‘Pentas, you should have told me if the symbol had appeared!’
As soon as he realized that, he went to his son and shouted at him, but his son looked as if he didn’t know anything. Pentas showed no signs of the awakening fever that usually preceded the manifestation of the head’s symbol.
In fact, he seemed to be in perfect health.
“It’s really not me!”
“Then, who the hell is it—!”
The Duke of Alors, who had been shouting, froze in place.
“Are you really not the one?”
“I really am!”
He couldn’t believe it, so he had his servants strip his son naked, though there was no sign of the head’s mark anywhere.
“W-what is this…!”
It was a real emergency. He had thought that Pentas was the only suitable candidate for the next head. But did it go to one of the collateral family?
Who the hell was it?
“Immediately, investigate all those with blood ties!”
The collateral bloodlines of the Alors family were people who never dared to think that they would become the head. He had been careless, thinking that they were people who didn’t even seem to have the ability to control water.
Maybe they’d been hiding it, waiting to strike him from behind.
Even though he knew it was unlikely, the Duke of Alors couldn’t help but grit his teeth.
“No one has shown the head’s mark!”
At that report, the Duke of Alors hurriedly gave an order.
“Immediately find, no, create a pretext to invade Argenta!”
He had to take down Argenta somehow before his power waned.
No matter how weak Diello Argenta was, he was still the head. If the Duke of Alors himself lost the power of the head completely, he would be a formidable opponent. That was how this war was prepared so quickly.
The problem was…
“Nothing is going according to plan!”
Bang!
He slammed his fist on the table.
“Krua Alors, what the hell are you doing?”
He shouted in exasperation.
He had told her to contact him as soon as she had completely eradicated the lilies of Diello Argenta. He had even threatened her life to make sure she didn’t betray him, so she wouldn’t dare have any other thoughts.
Then again, Krua Alors wasn’t brave enough to betray him in the first place.
Villainess?
She wielded her power over her inferiors, though that was all. She was Krua Alors, who couldn’t say a word to a head stronger than her.
People wouldn’t change unless they have a major life-altering event.
The Duke of Alors, who had no idea that Krua’s life had been turned upside down, didn’t know that someone else had possessed her.
That she still wouldn’t dare betray him.
And so, he had waited for her contact, but even now, when talk of negotiations was in the air, that stupid thing hadn’t contacted him. Unable to contain his frustration, the Duke walked out into the garden and found an unexpected thing.
“God is on Alors’ side!”
[ . ]
A white piece of paper was floating on the water that crossed the garden. It was a message from Krua, marked with a single dot.
It meant that the lilies were gone?
A triumphant smile spread across the Duke of Alors’ face as he fished it out of the flowing water.
“Prepare the troops to go to the negotiation hall. Disguise the knights and assassins as servants and maids. Immediately.”
He burst into laughter.
Now, it was time to deal with that useless Krua and Argenta.
* * *
On the morning of the negotiation day.
Diello was trying on the formal wear he would wear for the negotiations. Usually, those with high status tended to have servants do even the smallest tasks, but he was different. He found it more cumbersome to be waited on for even trivial matters like dressing.
That was why the servants had retreated and were waiting outside the room at this time.
As he took off the shirt he was wearing, his well-defined muscles were revealed. The wife of Redias, who had watched him grow up, had jokingly said that his body was something that everyone in society would envy, but Diello didn’t feel anything special.
…No, he had recently started to feel something. To be precise, he wished someone would take an interest in him.
Thud, thud.
‘Don’t come over here.’
…But the someone he was interested in, far from wanting his body, had built a wall of pillows between them.
He let out a short sigh and looked in the mirror.
“….?”
Diello narrowed his eyes.
It was even more visible when he completely took off his shirt.
“The lily…”
He reached out and rubbed the mirror, but the sight remained the same.
His expression gradually filled with surprise.
The lily, which should have been engraved in a deep black color, was blurred.
