An Extra Who Wants To Escape The Obsessive Male Lead - Chapter 95.2
Chapter 95.2
However, the power she had shown in Argenta was stronger than expected, contrary to the rumors. That was why they thought she was hiding her power, or that the Pentas Alors had such strong qualities. They thought that the lady with such power was considered a losing card because of her weak ability.
But was that not the case?
“Come to think of it, when the lord received the mark of the head of the house, he suffered greatly.”
Some of the servants remembered Diello’s childhood.
The awakening fever of the head of the family.
Diello had suffered greatly from the awakening fever, which usually didn’t occur or passed weakly. As the legend went, the more severe the awakening fever, the stronger the head of the family became.
“Rick.”
He looked back.
Rick was already waiting with a serious face, his head bowed.
“Find out if the Pentas Alors has received the mark of the head of the family.”
Of course, infiltrating the Alors with people during the sensitive period just before the battle was a very expensive task.
The risk was also high.
However, the Pentas Alors and the Duke of Alors would be heading here now, and it wouldn’t be difficult to sense their power from afar.
So, it was imperative to find out. Whether the next head of the family was really not Pentas Alors. They need to know whether Pentas Alors had received the mark of the head and had rushed in, or if the Duke of Alors’ power had begun to weaken as the mark of the head was transferred to Krua.
Nevertheless, if that was the reason why they rushed in, that was also a bad omen.
“As soon as possible.”
“Yes, sir.”
At that, Rick immediately left the room.

The information that Argenta’s intelligence agency had obtained by all means quickly reached him. Diello, who had opened the letter sent by the dispatched informant, narrowed his eyes.
[ No head-level power was felt from the Alors’ carriage. ]
It was said that the Pentas Alors and the Duke of Alors would be attending this meeting together. That was why Argenta’s informants were able to quickly check their carriage since they were both approaching Argenta.
“There was no head-level power.”
Diello tilted his head slightly.
Whoosh.
The burning paper in his hand turned to black ash.
This meeting was clearly a meeting in a touch-and-go situation. Of course, the Alors side wouldn’t have come without showing off how strong they were. That way, the people of Argenta would tremble in fear, and their morale would be lowered.
Moreover, Argenta was still a young lord who hadn’t yet reached the Ferro awakening. He was also rumored to be weak. But the Duke of Alors and the Pentas Alors’ group didn’t have head-level power?
There was only one answer.
“He’s really weakened.”
The Duke of Alors has weakened, and the Pentas Alors hasn’t shown the mark of the head of the family.
“…Krua.”
Diello looked down at Krua, who was still groaning in pain.
Awakening fever, indeed.
If she became the head of the family and could control water, it would be a considerable advantage in terms of military power. But rather than being happy about it, he was more worried.
“…You’ll experience extreme pain every two hours.”
He muttered in a heavy voice.
Nias and the maids listened to him with their heads bowed.
“The fever will worsen each time, so please help her as much as possible so that she doesn’t suffer too much.”
He let out a short sigh. No matter how much help they provided from the outside, the only way to reduce the fever was to apply cold towels and so on. The awakening fever had to be overcome by the one who would become the head of the family.
“….”
As Diello watched over Krua, Redias cautiously approached him.
“My lord, if you delay any longer, you will be late for the meeting.”
Rick, standing behind him, was also looking at Diello with a troubled expression.
“….”
Diello bit the inside of his lip.
He knew how much pain Krua was in because he himself had suffered from severe awakening fever. He wanted to be by her side.
But Krua…
“Come back safely, please.”
She was the one who wished for the meeting to be successful before she collapsed.
She trusted him that much.
He couldn’t possibly ruin it with his own hands.
“…I’ll go.”
Krua would be able to overcome it.
Diello thought that the power of the lord would become stronger or weaker depending on how the awakening fever was overcome, but as long as she endured it, it didn’t matter what power she had.
He hoped she would be safe.
His reason, which should have been colder than ever, felt like it was burning hot.
