Villainous Husband, the One You’re Obsessed With is Over There

The grip of my hand that was holding the bow loosened, and the weapon slid down. Suddenly, the smell of blood rushed into my nose. I was feeling nauseated everywhere as the sky abruptly turned yellow. Trees seemed to be pouring down this way, and Henry\'s cries grew farther and closer alternately.

The next moment, the force that besieged me broke.

A sense of reality flooded my head.

It seemed that the effect of the medicine suddenly disappeared in an instant. The muscles in my limbs, which were used beyond their original abilities, complained of pain. They screamed that they could no longer hold the weapon. I could feel the blow falling down towards my body the moment I couldn\'t come to my senses by shaking my head at the onslaught of pain.

As Henry struck me in the side with an axe, I was flung away with a cough.

"Unngh, ah…"

I crawled on the floor just like Roberta did a while ago. What was I doing? What the hell was I thinking when I was doing this until just now…?

A rough hand turned me upside down.

A shadow fell over my body. With his back to the sun, Henry raised his axe. I was crying and yelling at him. In that brief moment, I shivered and searched around for the quiver that had fallen to the floor. I gripped the arrow with an immobile hand. The fear that the red wine had taken away rushed over me in an instant.

"Uh, heuk…"

The axe was swung wide, and I shut my eyes tight. I was prepared for my head to split in two. There was no strength left to dilute the fear by deliberately thinking lightly.

"Huek—"

In conclusion, my head wasn\'t split in two.

Instead, something hot poured down on me. I couldn\'t even open my eyes, trembling and holding onto the arrow. Then, something heavy fell down slowly as if it were overtaking me. The arrow pierced through something before it got caught on something hard and broke.

"Heuu, ah, ugnn…"

I quivered and let out a weeping groan. The next moment, someone lifted the man\'s body that was covering me, who was still trembling.

"I told you."

It was a soft and beautiful voice.

The day when the sun rises the longest was suitable for the summer solstice. The sweat that came out due to the scorching sun and the cold sweat that had gushed out from fear interlaced. The owner of the voice removed the broken arrow from my hand.

Finally, I opened my eyes gradually.

I didn\'t know, but I was crying. I was weeping and wailing. As Raniero came closer to my chest, which went up and down in a terribly irregular way, I could feel his weight on my body.

He folded his eyes gracefully and smiled.

"I told you, my Empress."

Intertwining our hands together, he kissed my cheek. He didn\'t seem to care at all that my body was tainted with blood. His hunting shirt, which had been pure white until then as if it hadn\'t been stained with any dirt, began to turn scarlet slowly.

"You\'re not going to die."

The intense pain that rushed through my body was still severe. I couldn\'t think of anything rational as the pain seemed to make me lose my mind at any moment.

"Aheuk, heuu…"

"Does it hurt? Oh, right… It\'s that kind of medicine. Yes."

Raniero kissed my forehead slowly as if to appease a complaining child.

"It\'s such a drug. It transcends the limits of the physical abilities given at birth, increases the sense of elevation, and dissipates fear. Right, you were like that for a while. That\'s what I gave you last night."

While I was feeling sick, as though I was going to die soon, Raniero seemed relaxed. His cold lips slowly descended from my forehead to my eyelids, to my cheekbones, and then to my cheeks.

"You became me for a while. However, if the body is overloaded, the pain will come, and the medicine will lose its effect in an instant. Therefore, it couldn\'t be commercialized for the knight service to use. Besides, it\'s very addictive and makes you lethargic for a while…"

Opening his mouth wide, he bit my cheek lightly as though playing with a child. He then raised his upper body up and pulled out a small vial from under his sleeve.

Medicine, medicine again…

I gazed up at him in horror. Now, I didn\'t want to take the medicine he gave me.

"You don\'t have to look at me like that."

Raniero mumbled very sweetly.

"It\'s just a pain reliever."

As though to prove it, he poured the medicine into his mouth first before kissing me.

As if to bless Actilla\'s godson, the sunlight was pouring down on his back, who was comforting me. The bitter powdery medicine entered my mouth at once, and I coughed a little. After a while, the pain started to subside. I took a long breath and exhaled, and only then could I properly look up at his beautiful face. Raniero ruffled my hair and laughed pleasantly.

"Thanks to you, I had a good time. Well, look at the things you\'ve hunted yourself."

Sylvia was still lying on the floor, with the bodies of Henry and Roberta stacked next to her. It felt like blood was draining from my body. However, Raniero seemed to be enjoying himself.

"Now, you are also the people of Actilus. Tonight\'s banquet will be for you, who have been reborn…"
