Chapter 159 – 159 – Hyde, Erect! # One

159 – Hyde, erect! # 1

“Hyde—!!!!!!!”

I woke up with a terrible nightmare.

Her forehead was full of cold sweat and her heart was pounding as if it would explode.
The man instinctively took the knife that had been left by the bed in his hand.

“Ha, ha… Ha…”

Crunch-.

Only the feel of the cold metallic sheath calmed the man’s heart.

Rustling.

A woman stood up, probably waking up from the man’s noise.

“Alter. What’s the matter. Did you have another nightmare? It looks especially bad today.”

“Ah. Hecate. Sorry. You woke up because of me. Phew…”

Alter has been having nightmares ever since one day.

The content of the nightmare varied, but it always ended with the same ending.

It was a dream in which Alter felt helpless, unable to protect a woman.

“Alter. She dreamed that dream again. “I am here.”

Zek-.

The lover Hecate embraced Alter’s body.

Alter felt a little better from the warmth.

But she still felt uneasy.
It was an empty anxiety that could not be filled with anything.

Kuuk-.

Alter hugged Hecate tightly to forget his anxiety.

Of course, Hecate frowned slightly.

“Alter. If you hug me that hard, it hurts me. My body. Don’t you know that I’m delicate and fragile, unlike you, a man?”

“Sorry─.”

“But that’s why I like it. I feel like a lot of things are coming to mind. I thought you and I were hurting each other like this. Alter over there. What kind of person was I? “The me you remember.”

Hecate asked.

Alter was lost in thought for a moment.

And, as always, she expressed her petty complaints.

“He was a person who liked to sleep in late. Meals were also irregular. On top of that, I like drinking, and once I got drunk, I made people very annoying. I also had bad sleeping habits. I grinded my teeth and snored.”

“… Chi.”

“But I liked it.”

“Really? That’s right! Hehe!”

Hecate smiled as if she had regained her confidence.

“As expected, I was a very attractive woman!”

She thought about herself from long ago.

She still couldn’t think of anything.
She couldn’t remember anything, as if she had become a new person.

“I like you too, Alter. But why was I so greedy? I’m a happy person just by having you next to me. It must have been like that back then.”

Hecate was told by Alter that she had a wish to become a new person and start over.
The Hecate of today could not understand the Hecate of the past.

Why was he not satisfied with just being with Alter and became ‘greedy’?

‘I was punished because I did that. Because greed is a sin…’

And I felt a little sorry for Alter.

“I’m sorry, Alter. Because I don’t remember anything.”

“It’s not for you to apologize. Because all the bad things are him.”

Henry Jekyll.

No.

Hyde.

Even though the world was in upheaval and everyone forgot him, Alter did not forget everything about that man.

Rather, it became clearer as time passed.

“Even though I live now under the name Henry Jekyll. His specialty is lying, deceiving people, twisting trust, insulting and ridiculing people. There’s a chance it’s all just an act.”

“Okay? But really, I could have forgotten everything like Hecate. “Then, can’t you forget about that guy and just live a normal life?”

Sseukseu-.

Hecate stroked the man’s body.

Last two years.

As a result of long-term experiments and their side effects, Alter’s body reached its “Strongest level,” But on the other hand, it was wounded and falling apart.

Hecate was afraid.

If things continued like this, it seemed like this sweet and sincere man, Alter, would be swept away by a huge flame named ‘Hyde’.

“Alter. I just like having you next to me. You…”

“So do i. Hecate, I don’t need anything else as long as you’re by my side.”

Alter grinned.

Hecate was heartbroken.

Because the man was lying.

This man was bad at lying.

But Hecate did not show it.

He spoke happily as always.

“Okay! That’s right! Alter. Then give me a hug! So much so that I forgot who I was again. No, I will attack you first. Like this-. Because I’m a scary witch—!”

Passyuk-.

Hecate folded her body over Alter’s body.

The two thought that they were committing a “Taboo” That should not be done.

“Alter. It seems like we are trying to do something terrible.”

“It’s actually like that.”

It was right then.

Knock-.

Someone knocked on the door.

━Lord Alter. Your letter has arrived. This is a letter from Balhajak, the Bronze Knight of Agarpe Village. Can I leave it in front?

“No. “I will receive it myself.”

Zek-.

Alter immediately took her clothes and put them on.
Looking at that, Hecate frowned and gathered her blanket.

“Tooth…”

Zek-.

Alter received her letter and opened it.
There, the fact that “Henry” Was heading to the Palcea region and the reasons for it were written in reasonable detail.

It was very understandable and reasonable, but-.

Alter did not trust either.

“Of course I have to go. Henry. If he does something suspicious and tries to trample on the peace we have barely achieved, I have to stop him. “I have to stop it.”

Kuwoouk-.

Alter held a letter and wore a sword at his waist.

Hecate said while looking at that.

“Alter─.” Can’t you stay with me just for today?

But-.

The last word did not come out of her mouth.
Hecate was a woman who was good at lying.

“Alter, please take care of yourself. I heard there is a scary monster in the Palcea region? Was it Roland…? .”

“Okay. I’ll be careful.”

Zek-.

Alter kissed Hecate on the forehead and went off immediately.
Hecate, who was looking at that scene, felt a little lonely.

There was nothing she could do, she thought.

‘Just as the person he loved no longer exists anywhere-. The person I loved no longer exists in this world. Still good. If only he could be by my side-.’

It was time for her to think that way.
Alter is back.

“Hecate. If. If it is true that Henry is really living as Henry during this expedition. Then I’ll forget everything. And I, too, will try to live a normal life.”

“Uh, huh!”

Hecate was happy.

Hecate waved her hand as she watched her alter disappear into the distance outside her window.

“Alter-. Goodbye-.”

Wow-.

At that time, she felt disgusted for some reason.

Her body felt eerie and empty.
Zek-.

Hecate felt her lower abdomen.

“No way…”

# # #

“Henry! This guy! Drive your carriage carefully! It is loaded with precious and valuable treasures that must be delivered to my cousin Elijah who lives in Palcea! “These are very precious treasures!”

“I’m sorry, old man.”

I drove the carriage and looked around.

The Palcea region, a city with a wonderful port, was chaos itself.

It was a battlefield where the Blood Crusade, the Crusade Knights, the Kingdom Army, and the Black Knights, who had become a band of thieves, clashed with each other.

Even now, they are waging local wars, taking castles from each other.

So-.

I saw a lot of things like this when I passed by on the street.

“Look here! These guys are renegades who collaborated with the Blood Crusade! “How about stoning this wicked bitch according to the old law?”

Villages and walls that occupy and occupy each other.

Residents were often punished just for cooperating with the occupiers at the time.

So did that woman who was tied to the tree like an animal.

I asked.

“A knight of the Knights Templar. “What crime did she commit?”

“Huh? Some kind of country shepherd is asking me all kinds of questions. Do you have no eyes? Look at this loaded ship. This woman was corrupted by Dan in the Blood Crusade and committed her sins. “She ended up eating the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Knowledge of Knowledge of Knowledge of Knowledge of Knowledge of Knowledge of Knowledge of Good and Evil.”

It was like that.

The woman’s stomach was quite full.

It’s been about 6 months now.

I was able to distinguish between them because I had studied hard about female pregnancy and midwifery while dreaming of missionary work in remote areas overseas.

“I just wanted to have a second child with my husband. Is it a sin to have a second child with my husband? Everyone is crazy. This is not normal! Everyone, come to your senses!”

The woman shouted.

But people shouted, “A woman whispers witchcraft!” And booed.

The woman did not give up and continued speaking.

“Everyone went crazy from the moment a strange light appeared in the sky! How can having sex with your husband be a sin worth stoning to death! Release this! Has everyone forgotten about sex? Is that something like that?”

The woman’s words were quite penetrating to the core, and were like reading sutras with cow ears.

Rather, people were astonished.

“Wow, you say such ugly things so casually.”

“The Blood Crusade is as scary as ever—.”

If things continue like this, the woman will be stoned to the ground.

I spoke small but clearly to the knights of the Knights Templar.

“Only he who is without sin among you should throw a stone at a woman.” I think the Lord said: So, how about releasing it? It would be a big deal if a woman were to be stoned to death. Murder is also a big sin. “If the unborn child also dies, the crime of murder would be doubled.”

“…”

“…”

The knights looked at each other’s faces.

And then, “Ah. “Yes.” Or “It seems so,” He affirmed.

They released the pregnant woman.

When I saw the woman running away and running away, I returned to the carriage.

Chief Big Johnson asked inside the carriage.

“Mr. Hyde. My master. There may be surveillance. Are you okay with that? If you wanted to save the woman, you wouldn’t have used your own power. Just me and Balhazak would have been enough.”

“…”

I kept my mouth shut.

It was because Big Johnson’s story was valid.

It was too reasonable.

“Human beings are alive. That in itself is a pain. Birth is only the beginning of eternal suffering. So, can we say that she saved countless lives just by preventing the child from being born?”

Life was ugly and distorted.

I knew it well.

Have I just saved a child’s life?

Or have we ended up giving a child a painful life that will last until the moment of death?

“Hey Mr. Hyde.”

At that time, Balhajak spoke to me.

He, who was escorting a carriage on horseback, looked around and spoke.

“The almighty Mr. Hyde may have already noticed, but the chase has caught up. This is the Dark Knights side. It looks like they are targeting the treasure and food we loaded on the wagon.”

I guess so.

They openly advertised that they were carrying precious cargo, but if the thieves didn’t follow, it wouldn’t be a chaotic Palcea region.

It was like that on purpose.

I looked at the valley in front of me.

It seemed like a very good place for thieves to attack us.

Now-.

Hurry and attack us.

And guide me to Roland, the leader of the thieves.

Then, I will bind Roland with my power and make him a slave.

It was a perfect plan.
