Chapter 49 – Chapter 48 – My Love Is Not a Lie (4)

Tentacles that glowed with magic light in the air returned the table broken in half to its original place.
The sight of the heavy table spinning around in the air and finding its place was quite spectacular, but no one paid attention to it.

Hernán hurriedly ran to check on Shafi and his daughter first.

The demon king didn’t seem to have any problems except that his face was slightly white.
Still, the word urgently came out of Hernan’s mouth, asking if he was okay.

“How do you feel? Didn’t you get hit by shrapnel?”

“Me and my daughter are both fine.”

Smiling softly, she soothed the crying baby and winked at her as she pointed in the direction of the other woman.

“Why don’t you take care of women who are more down than me?”

Hernán took one more look at her crying daughter before nodding her head and going to her side.
The Sharpie, meanwhile, slumped on her undisturbed chair with her terribly tired face.

While Hernán took care of another woman, she stared at her tentacles as they slowly withered and twisted due to her underpowered environment.

As Hernan approached the saintess and Poti, who were lying face down near the sharpie, she heard a faint groan.

To be precise, it was Potty’s frightened cry.

“Ooh, to kill us all…”

“Forties. That’s fine now. Just get up.”

Her saintess was eagerly trying to soothe her, but Potty shivered as she hugged her ears and her hair.
Her fluttering ended only when Hernán opened her mouth.

“Forties. Injured…”

“Hernan!”

Forty raised his head and turned around to find his savior.
Hernán wondered whether Poti, who was about to give birth, had hurt her. She knelt down on one knee, carefully examining her.

“Hernan! Ugh…”

Poti burst out crying and clung to Hernán’s neck.
He felt sorry for the little woman as he hugged her.

Patting her on the back, Hernán met eyes with the saintess behind Forty.
Marina sighed heavily, her eyes widening in approval.

Looking at the condition, these two seemed to have no problems.
Potty was only terribly surprised, but neither she nor the baby in her stomach seemed to be in trouble.

Hernán took off Potty, who was still trying to cling to him, and went to Silnia, who hadn’t confirmed it yet.

She was lying on her side on the floor with her stomach hugged.
A cold sweat ran down her face, a look of pain.

Hernan felt her heart skip a beat and she hurried to her elf’s side.

“Sylnia, are you hurt?”

“Fuck… I fell.”

It seemed that he did not properly consider the weight of his body and moved violently before falling.
Silnia said with difficulty as she continued to stare at her belly.

“Wake me up…”

Silnia muttered a few words of her swearing about her hero and she reached out her hand to Hernán.
Hernan felt her anger as he hugged her.

I couldn’t help but get angry when I thought of how many pregnant women could have been hurt because of Karine alone.

“Ugh!”

Silnia continued to moan for pain in her stomach.
Hernán felt the fear that her lifespan was being cut away each time she uttered her screams of pain.

As Hernan carefully put her Silnia down on her chair, her saintess immediately approached.

“Sylnia? Are you hurt?”

“I don’t know… When she just fell, she hit her stomach pretty hard.”

Sylnia had a slightly frightened expression.

“It doesn’t hurt too much, just in case…”

The saintess immediately lifted her clothes and inspected Silnia’s stomach thoroughly, and then she also checked the inside of her skirt on the part of her genitals.

Silnia, who would normally have given up her anger at her embarrassment, leaned back on her chair and quietly watched what her saintess was doing.

She didn’t show it openly like Silnia, but Hernan was too nervous.
He questioned the saintess who was examining this and that diligently.

“Is there any problem?”

“It seems that the shock inside was severe, but…”

Sylnia’s face turned pale.
She instinctively reached for her hand and grabbed the man’s hand beside her.

Hernán felt dizzy and tried to ask more questions.
However, the saintess stopped looking inside her skirt and opened her mouth.

“I heard the sound of the warrior falling into the water earlier. Hernán went and brought him…”

Sensing that the atmosphere around her was getting colder, the saintess gradually blurted out her words.
Neither Sylnia nor Forty dared to hide their hostility.

She’s been busy babysitting Shafiya, but considering who her hero was first to target, she wouldn’t be happy with Karine either.

And that was Hernán himself as well as the general public.

If it was her past, she would have had a desire to understand her somehow, or she would have worried about how to support her.

However, when the demon unleashed the brainwashing magic in her brain, she didn’t think so.
On the contrary, she felt refreshed as her headache, which she had always been waiting for to pop out, was gone.

Seeing the silent people, the saintess stuttered her words.

“Mu, of course the hero did something wrong, but he would be dangerous if left in a drowned state. The one who will bring him here is Hernan.”

Listening to her saintess’ words, Hernán found a reason to help her hero not through emotion, but reason.

When one person dies, someone else has to give birth.
And if you let it die, you don’t know what the demon will do.

Hernán told Silnia to take it easy on her, then moved her steps to her bathroom.

* * *

“Kheuk! Whoa…”

When I arrived at the bathroom, I saw the hero climb out of the huge bathtub and spit out water.
His body trembled violently every time he poured out liquid.

Her silver hair, soaked in water, clung to her body, giving off a bleak air.

“Cool!”

Karine wondered if she had a lot of water. She kept vomiting up.
Hernán stood in front of her like that.

As I shaded her something, Karine raised her unfocused eyes.

“L… ?”

Hernan did not answer.
She just looked at this woman with monstrous powers.

The hero stretched out his hand with his upper body hanging over the edge of the bathtub.
The hand that waited for the lover to hold was trembling with pain and fear.

Hernán saw it and got a strange feeling.

It is obviously pitiful and heartbreaking.
But the stimulus is not strong enough to elicit her own behavior.

Empty feeling.
Like objects behind glass, you can confirm their existence, but you cannot touch them directly.

In the place where her intense love for her has been drained, only the grave stone of her looking at others remains.

Just as the tide that came in deep into her becomes the ebb that goes out the furthest, her feelings for Hernán had faded in her heart.

That’s why there is only one emotion that Karine can pull out of Hernan’s actions now.

“Ah!”

Anger.
One of her anger at having hurt her other women and betraying her own trust.

Carine, who was dragged from her bathtub by Hernán by the hair, was thrown onto the bathroom floor screaming at her.

“Ugh…”

She grabbed her left arm with her right arm, which she had just stretched out.
Judging by her face in great pain, it must have been injured by the tentacles swinging around the table.

Of course, as large as the dining table was, other parts of her body were also bruised and swollen in places.

It’s probably hard to rampage for at least a few weeks.
That’s enough time.

Hernán said coldly to her.

“You can see it as the demon’s punishment.”

The warrior gasped for breath as he spat out the water that suddenly rose up again.
She looked up at Hernan with her wet face.

“L. Why… Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Let’s go.”

“Her body is not moving well because she was beaten earlier. Support… Now, wait, ugh!”

Hernán dragged her carine, which was heavy with water from her.
At least she grabbed her arm, which was still intact, and dragged her out, so no further injuries.

However, when her body was rubbed on the hard floor, her entire body was shocked and she let out a moan in succession as if she was in great pain.

But it was elsewhere that she complained of her greatest pain.

“Please trust me! You are being deceived!”

The hero cried out in a shriek, even though it would hurt her more if she screamed.
Tears or liquid from her bath continued to flow from her eyes.

“I’m sure that dreamer did something!”

Hernán silently left the bathroom without looking at her carine.

“Town!”

Karine let out a choking sound as she tripped on the low sill of her bathroom.
But she somehow opened her mouth and said her words.

Aside from her strength, she was a woman of great stamina.

“In the first place, I just added the affinity effect to the sexual desire suppression, I didn’t do it to the level of brainwashing magic!”

“Quiet. It’s the living room now. Everyone will be surprised.”

Karine saw the women huddled behind her, and she screamed even more ferociously.

“Everything is strange! Everything goes in favor of the Demon King.”

After she said it unfairly, she exclaimed as if she knew something.

“Okay… The first time she treated you, she did something to you!”

Karine forced herself to stand up.
However, Hernán continued to pull, and her body, which was her own, was also immature, so it frequently ended in failure.

When everything didn’t go her way, she wept in her despair.

“I have to deal with that bitch as soon as possible… If you can’t kill them, then at least imprison them.”

Gradually, even if Karine spoke softly, it was a distance that women could hear.
Her savage gaze fell upon her as she murmured.

“L… Please listen to me.”

Hernan let go of Carine’s hand when he came to Sharpie’s side.

“Carine.”

The hero buried his face on the floor and shed tears, then slowly raised his head.
She always liked the voice of her lover calling her name.

“L?”

However, in her field of vision, only the demon king’s white legs were visible, not Hernan.
Hernan stood next to the chair the demon king was sitting on and spoke coldly to Carine.

“First of all, I apologize to Sharpie. And do it to other women.”

“I’m fine…”

Sharpie declined in a gentle voice.
Hernán asked her saintess if Silnia was okay, keeping an eye on Karine so that she wouldn’t attack her demon lord’s feet or legs.

The saintess forcibly answered with a bright voice.

“It is true that the ship received a strong shock. But there is no bleeding, and you can feel the child moving inside, so it should be fine.”

Silnia still had a pained expression on her face, but she seemed somewhat relieved after hearing Marina’s answer.
However, her face crumpled when she heard the warrior’s voice.

In fact, not only her, but everyone’s faces, except for Shafi or Marina, frowned in displeasure.

“Why are you next to that demon and not next to me?”

Karine continued to speak in a voice that she did not understand.

“Your lover is me… It’s not just the demon king who mixed his body a few times here!”

“Hernan. The hero seems to be in bad shape. How about letting him into the room?”

The demon king hugged the baby with a pitiful voice.
Hernan shook his head and opened his mouth.

“Sent in without taking any action? No.”

Sharpie shrugged at Hernán’s answer.
Carine watched her silently and bit her lip.

As her blood flowed between her lips, Carine’s dazed eyes came back to life.

“Are you mistaking the words and actions of this dreamer for true love?”

Lying on her face, she forcibly lifted her body, which was about to break, and raised her upper body.
Then, the appearances of Hernán and the Demon King were seen more clearly.

Hernán was looking down at her hero with a posture of protecting the demon king and her child.

Karine said, enduring the feeling that she was about to go crazy.

“Would a dreamer who would have confessed her love to any man with his crotch open know her true love?”

The relaxed Sharpie’s face stiffened slightly.
She looked down at Karine indifferently with her heart-red eyes.

Karine stared at that face for a while, then she met Hernan’s cold face again.
At that look, she felt her spirit, which she was barely holding on to, about to collapse again.

“So please come to your senses and come back to me, L.”

“Don’t call me by that nickname.”

Karine’s face became dazed at Hernan’s sudden words.
It was a face that did not understand, to be precise, a face that refused to understand.

“What are you talking about?”

“It is literally. Call me Hernan.”

“Why… ?”

Karine staggered to her feet, forgetting even the pain in her body.
Sharpie looked at her like that and muttered.

“A monster, a monster.”

“You are the real monster. Looking for a bitch with horns on her head and a tail on her ass…”

As Potty listened to the warrior’s words, his already hostile eyes burned even more.

Hernan turned her eyes to the sharpie and the women.

“If you want to call me El, call me that. But you are excluded, Karine.”

Carine held her breath as she leaned against her broken table.

“Now… Do you mistake the actions of other bitches for love now?”

Despite being sentenced to a de facto breakup, she did not give up until the end and tried to change Hernán’s heart.

But to others, including Hernán, Carine’s words sounded more like threats than persuasion.

“Everybody got pregnant because they wanted something! The saintess is the archbishop, and the elves return to the forest!”

Even Marina’s soft expression was slightly cracked, and Silnia was in an atmosphere where she would have kicked the hero right away if her body was intact.

“I am the only one who truly loves you, not lies!”

“Forties. A warrior is like that?”

After the shout of the sharpie warrior, she called for the potty.
Potty immediately stood next to Hernán with a big belly in his arms.

“I love you, El.”

“I know.”

Hernán replied by hugging Potty’s shoulder as he leaned on him.

Karine slumped and supported her legs as they were about to collapse, and she watched.
She barely opened her mouth.

“L, please. Only I can use that name.”

Potty no longer hid his sneer.

“Where is the proof of that love? Yo, the demon king that the hero curses so much also gave Hernan a baby, and I am the same…”

She bared her own belly proving her love.
It was as if I was showing off that my love was not a lie.

“You…”

Seeing Potty, the warrior stepped on her as if he couldn’t contain his anger any longer.
However, as if the Demon God hadn’t hit her carelessly, she collapsed on the floor again, groaning in agony.

Potty continued her words while looking at the smallest warrior below her.

“At most, the only evidence that the hero can show is the magic on El’s head… Is that proof of love?”

It was more of a lie than a proof of love.
Karine sobbed as she held onto the ruined evidence.

“Why… ? Why is this happening?”

“Ugh, that asshole!”

Sylnia screamed.

“Don’t leave that bastard like this and cause a lot of people to lose their clothes, and lock them up right away!”

When the hero heard the story, he swallowed his cries and growled.

“Do you think you can still go back to the forest?”

Sylnia was taken aback.
Although the frequency of mentioning the forest has decreased recently, she still did not give up on it.

However, it seemed that she had no intention of putting up with the hero’s atrocities any longer.

“I’m giving birth to a baby! If I just give birth to a child and let them get out of here, isn’t my job done? Why are you bringing up another story? Can I be your maid?”

The hero didn’t know if he had nothing to say or if his strength was running out, but he couldn’t reply.
She looked at Hernán in misery now, with only tears in her eyes.

What Carine should send out right now is not tears, but an apology.

Sensing that no matter what she said, Hernán opened her mouth as she watched Potty sink into her arms.

“Forties.”

“Yes.”

“Have you thought about what you will write your next wish ticket in advance?”

Potty glanced at the hero.
She replied with a bright smile.

“Are you going to punish me?”

Hernan nodded her head.
And sentenced her former lover.

“I will seal Karine’s power with my next wish.”

“What?”

Carine’s voice cracked.
It was only natural that he screamed like that.

She just blankly listened to Hernan, as if she had no time to be surprised anymore.

“After we get out of here, if you need your strength for the safe return of the women, I’ll release it at the end. But now that power is just dangerous.”

The hero shook her head, but Hernán’s cold words continued.

“Until Potty’s next birth, the hero will keep her tied up in her room. I will take care of you, but you will have to sleep alone.”

As soon as Hernan finished speaking, Carine screamed until her whole body was broken.

“L!”

“Anyone against it?”

No one raised her hand.

* * *

Hernán caressed her own daughter in the arms of her sharpie with her weary face.
Even the baby fell asleep soundly, probably tired from the mess earlier.

The Demon King, who was looking at her daughter and her father, asked Hernan a question.

“Did the hero get into the room well?”

“Now that I’ve screamed enough to scream, I’ll stay still.”

The hero, who had a restraining device made of branches and clothes, could not move properly.
When I applied strength, the injured arm was tied in a knot, so I only complained of intense pain.

At least, Hernán had tied all of her legs to the bed, so she had to lie quietly on the bed.

Around that time, Carine started begging again.

She said she didn’t do anything wrong, she said everything was Hernan playing with her fake love.
She didn’t believe it and she just said she wanted to release herself.

She didn’t even say she was sorry until the end, she didn’t ask to love her again.

Hernán felt a great disgust at her who did not feel anything wrong with her actions and who denied her reality that the love in front of her had left.

The scale of the disgust was as great as the affection she had built up over ten years.

Also, her sense of loss was just as great.

She lost the woman she loved to give her own life.
No, she may have already lost her ex.

The woman she’d loved since she decided to step into her cold-blooded contender for the throne is gone.

Karinedo, who drew her picture by dropping tears on her paint.

Karinedo, whom she carves and presents to her mansion, which she admired.

Karine was also delighted when she shyly said her name, El, for the first time.

Even though she was criticized by her adoptive father and her birth mother for meeting a man who was of no help, she and Karine, who were walking in the flower bed with her…

All gone.

“L.”

Hernán came to his senses after hearing the nickname he had only allowed for one woman.
Sharpie was wiping away his tears.

“Do you think of a lover?”

“Lover…”

Hernan chewed the words bitterly and pushed Sharpie’s hand away to turn off her lights.
He lay down next to her sharpie and opened her mouth.

“Are you surprised today? I’m sorry I couldn’t stop you earlier.”

“No. There is something I want to ask you more than that.”

“What?”

Sharpie whispered quietly, placing her baby between Hernán and herself.

“Do you believe in dreamy love?”

The demon king’s words were very sincere.

“No one believes in our love…”

Hernan was taken aback by the sudden statement.

Does it mean that she believes in her own love?

But when you think about it, her own relationship with Sharpie felt more like her sex partner than affection between her lover.

Although that seemed to change a bit as she became pregnant and gave birth, she basically did.

She was usually told that love between people like that was futile.
Just like Karine’s father had sex with several women just to covet her body.

When Hernan couldn’t answer, Shafi smiled and kissed him on the lips.

“I want to get well soon and suck Hernán’s spirit!”

Shafi, in her jovial voice, clung to Hernán and her daughter again.

“Good night, El!”

Hernán nodded her head at the sharpie, who was hidden in the darkness and fell asleep.
