When the Villainess Died, the Male Lead Went Crazy - Chapter 81
Kylian found it amusing that Anais thought of him and Lilith in such a relationship. Yet he couldn’t understand why Anais didn’t realize his feelings throughout the diary writing.
“Anais had the ability to see the future.”
Lilith’s words were true. Kylian realized as he read the diary that Anais seemed to have genuinely seen and written about the future. He quickly started reading through the diary again.
[ Quipnos Empire, May 1st, 1520
The wedding is tomorrow.
I felt sorry for Lilith. It must be hard for her that her lover, Kylian, would be with another woman.
But why do I feel so excited? How shameless of me. ]
Kylian felt like crying again. Tears fell and soaked the diary, and he found it difficult to breathe. Wiping his teary eyes to prevent the letters from blurring, he returned his gaze to the diary.
[ Quipnos Empire, May 2nd, 1520
I wish this marriage were real.
He must have really hated me, yet he braided my hair.
Why is he cute even when acting like this?
It was clear that he couldn’t sleep because he was wary of what I might do.
I wouldn’t do anything, even if I wanted to. I don’t want Lilith to suffer because of my greed anymore. ]
Knock, knock.
“Your Majesty.”
Kylian set the diary aside for a moment and looked at the door opening. It was Lilith.
“Are you going to take your medicine?”
“Yes.”
Kylian couldn’t bear it without taking the medicine. Taking the medicine would make him sleep. If he slept, he could see Anais.
“Leave it there and go.”
“Yes.”
Lilith checked with her eyes how far he had read the diary. Then she looked at Kylian as if she had some intention.
“What’s wrong with you?”
“Your Majesty’s eyes seemed more alive.”
As Kylian didn’t respond to her words, Lilith left. Kylian read the diary again as if he hadn’t heard the sound of the door closing when she left.
[ Quipnos Empire, December 31st, 1520
Tomorrow is the day of the revolt.
Kylian was truly distancing himself from me.
It’s heartbreaking, but I had done everything I could for him.
I still cared for him deeply, and I wanted to repay what he had given me.
Tomorrow, I might be able to repay the favor.
If I die, he might feel sorry for a moment but would quickly forget.
It was frustrating and painful to make him hate me, like getting an awl stuck on my chest. But it was the right thing to do, so it was okay.
If I leave, hated by him, I will be quickly forgotten.
I truly hope Kylian will be happy.
Even though I won’t be by his side, he will definitely become a shining emperor, and those who stand by his side will become the light that shines on him.
I can never be… With such beauty.
I hope he will be happy. ]
The diary ended like that. Kylian picked up the bottle with trembling hands and swallowed the pills. He fell asleep as if he had fainted.
When he regained consciousness, he felt someone’s hand stroking his hair.
The hand was rough, but touching the back of the hand felt soft. Just like the real Anais’s hand.
“Wife.”
“Kylian.”
She was still smiling faintly at him. He opened his eyes that had gone sore from crying and rummaged through the drawer next to the bed. He took out a box.
“Wife, there was something I wanted to give you.”
He realized that every detail from the diary had melted into his mind.
Anais ultimately had the same feelings as him. Whether she understood or not, those feelings were the same love as his. He opened the small box to her eyes.
“What is this?”
“I bought it for you, Wife.”
He put the amber necklace he bought a long time ago around her neck, the one she had admired before.
“This is…”
“We don’t even have wedding rings, do we?”
“Ah…”
Anais seemed a little surprised. He suddenly felt sad. The reason why he didn’t have the engagement ring or wedding ring.
She really mistook Lilith and Kylian as lovers.
“Wife, I love only you.”
“…….”
“My life means nothing without you. My life is what you’ve given me.”
Kylian spoke as if he had regained his senses, but he was still not fully conscious due to the medication.
“Kylian.”
“Wife, please. Please give me a chance.”
Anais couldn’t pull her hand away as Kylian sobbed and pleaded.
“Why can’t you give up even after reading the diary?”
“Wife, how can I give up on you? You are my master, whether alive or dead.”
“Ha.”
Anais looked at him, a faint smile appearing on her lips, one that he had never seen before.
“I thought you would give up after reading the diary.”
“We’ve just misunderstood each other. We can set things right again.”
Anais spoke to Kylian with a cold face.
“Forget about me. Get your true destiny.”
“My destiny is only you, Anais.”
“…….”
“Don’t abandon me, please.”
At that moment, he woke up from the haze of the medication. Anais’ radiant platinum hair had turned into a dull golden hue, and her brilliant blue eyes had transformed into a dark violet.
Just like Lilith’s.
“Pathetic, Your Majesty.”
