I Became the Villain's Master - Chapter 82
Chapter 82
I brushed my hand across my chest and opened my palm.
In that moment of life or death.
A pure white light bloomed at my fingertips, dazzlingly bright.
‘Is this divine energy?’
It felt similar to the clear energy I had experienced during my divine energy verification.
Could it be that I had manifested divine energy? If so, I would be able to communicate with Snow and, with luck, even receive an audience with a god.
With a pounding heart, I closed my eyes and focused my mind.
“Hmm.”
But what the heck.
Even as time passed, there was no response.
I held my breath and prayed to God, but instead of divine power, only a sigh came out.
‘How do you do it?’
As I continued to fail, I leaned powerlessly against the headboard.
After much thought, I think I know why it’s not working.
“I’m hungry….”
I guess my concentration was off because I haven’t eaten anything for a long time.
I’d like to have some soup, even if it’s light…
‘Should I get up for now?’
As I moved my body unsteadily and put my feet on the floor, my body tilted to the side.
“Ugh!”
I couldn’t muster any strength in my legs, not knowing how long I had been lying in bed.
Just as I was about to fall face-first on the floor, someone wrapped their arms around my waist.
“Mistress.”
Kiris was looking up at me straight, not knowing when he had arrived.
His red eyes, which scanned me, flickered briefly.
“Are you up?”
The hand around my waist tightened, bringing me closer to Kiris.
Naturally, my face flushed with embarrassment.
This another dark history in the making!
Ah, my life.
But I can’t show it! I tried to look as nonchalant as possible, but when our eyes met, I quickly lowered my head again.
His breathtakingly beautiful face was close at hand.
‘Why are you so close!’
As I fumbled, Kiris’s mouth twisted slightly.
“…Are you okay?”
I felt like my face was about to be pierced by his gaze.
My mind went blank, but I had to get out of this situation somehow, so I babbled.
“Yeah. I’m fine. I feel refreshed after waking up and getting up. Maybe it’s because I haven’t seen you in a while, but your face seems to be glowing even more… It’s good. I can walk around brightly at night… Instead of a lamp, I can use Kiris…”
“….”
When there was no reply, I slapped my mouth. Crazy, what did I just say…
As I was about to make a hasty excuse, Kiris moved his lips, which were flushed red.
“Really? I guess you like my face.”
“W-well, yeah, what….”
“I’m glad you like me that much.”
His voice sank, and I looked up, only then to see Kiris’s appearance.
It had only been a few days since I had seen him, but Kiris’s eyes were dark and he looked tired.
Whenever I regained consciousness, I vaguely felt that someone had been watching over me.
No way.
“After I collapsed, you were… always by my side?”
“Yeah.”
Kiris replied calmly, without a moment’s hesitation. As if it were natural.
Wait, so how long was I out for?
“For a few days…?”
“Two?”
“Ah….”
I wanted to ask why he stayed by my side when there was Mary and other people, but the words wouldn’t come out easily.
Because I could feel his sincere concern for me.
“You almost got hurt. I can’t bear to be away from you. Do you have any pain? You seemed to have a fever earlier…”
“Oh, yeah. I don’t have a fever and I’m perfectly fine.”
Looking back, Kiris has always been thinking of me.
He stayed by my side even though he was busy with the Tower Lord position, and he took care of me as my escort.
Then, was Kiris still feeling indebted to me for saving his life?
I felt sorry for him and grateful at the same time.
“Thank you.”
As I smiled broadly, Kiris let out a pleasant laugh.
“It’s my pleasure. Mistress.”
Kiris soon lowered his gaze and stared at me quietly.
He looked tired, but the dark circles around his eyes only accentuated his decadent beauty.
Mayday! Mayday!
Sensing danger, I pulled back, but my large hand stopped me.
“Mistress.”
“Yeah…?”
“I missed you.”
“Me, me too…”
His fatal appearance came closer, and his long fingers brushed against my lips.
“I missed you smiling at me. Do you know how worried I was?”
“Kiris. Let go of this for a moment…”
My heart felt like it was going to burst. So this is what it means to be captivated by someone’s face.
I reminded myself of the meaning once more and weakly patted the arm wrapped around my waist, but it didn’t budge.
Kiris said in a slightly trembling voice.
“Mistress. Are you avoiding me?”
“No, it’s not that… If we keep going like this, my heart…”
At my words, Kiris stared at me with an unreadable expression before slowly moving his alluring lips.
“If you keep doing that… I don’t think I can hold back.”
His unfocused red eyes narrowed beautifully.
