An Extra Who Wants To Escape The Obsessive Male Lead - Chapter 94.1
Chapter 94.1
The vile Ferro, Venia, was already dead.
The story that the lilies would fade if a Ferro died was unheard of. After all, if the lilies were to disappear like this, countless dukes wouldn’t have chosen to marry Ferro.
“Didn’t I have to resonate with Ferro to be erased?”
It was the moment he placed his fingertips on the lily.
“….!”
He instinctively reached out, feeling a piercing sensation that shot through his entire body.
A dry gasp escaped his lips.
The area around the lily felt as if it were burning… No, the burning sensation wasn’t limited to that spot. As his mouth felt parched, a thirst that couldn’t be quenched by water surged within him. No, to be precise, it was a thirst for something more primal than water.
“…Krua.”
He barely managed to utter her name… The name of the only person who could quench this thirst. Every time he did, the lily pulsed as if it were his heart.
There was only one answer.
His body craved her. Her, not the Ferro.
She hadn’t fulfilled the conditions with him yet—to be in danger in the fire. Without fulfilling that condition, the Ferro would have already passed on to someone else.
And yet…
“….!”
His hand, which was gripping the edge of the mirror, tightened involuntarily.
Crack!
An ominous sound echoed through the room, but he couldn’t stop.
He had to endure it.
It was as she had said. She had told him not to lie, though she had not told him not to suppress it. With his mind consumed by this heat, he couldn’t see her.
If he did, he really would…
‘…Diello?’
He wouldn’t be able to bear it, even more than the day she had been consumed by the heat.
Diello exhaled heavily. Every time he thought of Krua, the lily felt as if it were being squeezed, but the thought kept coming back to him.
‘You say you’ve been deceived by me, but I’ve been like this since the beginning.’
‘I would rather you be cunning than simply docile.’
How couldn’t he be happy when she wanted his true self? As those words came to mind, he clenched his fists.
Smash!
The mirror finally shattered in his hand, which was gripping it once again. He stared at his reflection in the broken mirror.
The fading lilies…
“Duke!”
There was a commotion outside, but he couldn’t tell them to stop. It was because he didn’t have time, too busy suppressing himself.
Yet, a satisfied smile spread across his lips.
Even if she wasn’t Ferro, even if she was a fake Ferro, the lilies could be erased if their bodies and hearts resonated. Although the flower hadn’t been erased yet because they hadn’t spent the night together, he could feel it for sure.
…That he was connected to her.
And once the lilies began to fade, there was no turning back.
His fiancée, who had tried to protect his lilies even more than he did, might be surprised to learn this. What if he never had to meet the Ferro like this? What if they become completely connected? A thrilling ecstasy shot through his mind.
He wanted to find her right now, kiss her, and possess her entirely.
However…
Crack!
The shards of the mirror that had fallen to the floor crunched under his shoes. With each step he took, the dangerous expression on his face softened. After cauterizing the shallow wound with fire, he thought, wearing his gloves.
‘This won’t do.’
Shouldn’t he become a more elegant beast?
‘In front of me, promise me that you’ll only show me the truth from now on.’
Since he had promised that, he had to become someone worthy of his merciful wife. He clenched his gloved hand once more and stepped out of the room.

As expected, Alors demanded the riverbank as the meeting place.
Argenta naturally accepted his demand. Otherwise, Alors wouldn’t even show up for the talks. And we had already finished preparing for battle, with the candidates for their meeting place in mind.
“After observing the attendants that Duke Alors is bringing, it seems that they are all knights or assassins who can wield swords.”
Rick’s informants, who had been watching their approach from afar, brought back important information. Of course, we didn’t expect them to bring ordinary people, though they were truly extraordinary, even beyond our expectations.
Stupidly so.
“Then, I should now―”
I should go upstream. The moment I thought that and rose from my seat, the world seemed to distort like a mirage.
“Huh?”
The next moment, I was leaning against the table, sitting down.
Crash! Clang!
The vase that had been on the table fell and shattered.
“Madam!”
