I Am The Last Villainess He Has To Kill

Chapter 38: Kidnapping Police

Chapter 38 – Kidnapping Police

Even if he entered the Imperial Palace half a year earlier, Kiehl did not come out.

Bella stayed up all night until the end of the year 1162, holding her heart firmly.

"I'll have to kidnap you."

In the novel, Roseanne, in the original story, was kidnapped by some bandits, and Kiehl rescues her. And, one of the items the bandits possessed is an item with divine power, so Kiehl's brings it to the Imperial Palace as a loot.

She had read it several times, went back to Daisy to check it out, and found out what she had done.

That the bandit was the group that attacked Bella's carriage a few years ago. That group of bandits whom she had already killed all but one.

Now, she heard that they were not active.

‘Yes, because this is Kiehl's fate. The mistakes I made must be corrected by me.'

So, she plotted to kidnap the female lead.

They kidnapped her, though the moment Kiehl and Roseanne met, all the children were released and they had to disappear.

Bella reviewed it several times and came up with a perfect plan. First, they needed someone who would be the face of the bandits. It wasn't difficult. She hired mercenaries that had absolutely nothing to do with the novel.

"Come on, guys. Check the extension."

Second, they needed something to communicate.

There was no way there was a walkie-talkie in this world, so she created a similar magic tool using all the knowledge she had learned while studying. It was similar to the principle of a paper cup phone connected by a thread.

Since it was difficult for Bella to control the magic of the human world, she decided to use the magic of the demon world.

By applying the principle that a dream demon entered into a human dream, she created a virtual dream space and used magic tools. If she used it only to summon a tool, a tool, in reality, could hear the sound of the dream space.

Jenkins was the only one surprised to see her casually invent what could be the invention of the century.

"The Miss… Sometimes when I see her, she's really amazing."

But, Bella felt even more pity that she couldn't make a walkie-talkie out of her own head.

‘They used to make things out of scrap metal in the movies…’

Unlike a simple walkie-talkie, it was a cumbersome magic tool that had to be maintained all the time with a summons.

Zanbar, on the other hand, frowned at how tired it was having to carry it around.

"Why do you need this? Just kidnap her."

"So, to listen to the sound of ignorant demons."

At Bella's prompt, Iwer smiled and patted Pur on the back.

"If you stay still, you'll be in the middle."

When she first ran into trouble with Roseanne’s setup, she tried to find another way.

…Kidnapping police.

‘Let's think positively.'

However, because she was a police officer, she was able to plan better than anyone else. She was in a situation where she was catching the criminal, so she was thinking of a way to never get caught.

There was a sound of moral decline, although she couldn't help it.

***

Unlike ten years ago, there weren't many people who were against Kiehl.

That was because he had been doing pretty well so far.

Rather, it was the moment when he lost the opportunity to go out of the palace and gave up, but Rohan started talking about ‘Holy Relics' as soon as 1163 came.

“What Your Highness said is probably a good way to go. I think the conferment ceremony will continue to be delayed at this rate.”

Just like ten years ago, the atmosphere was swept away by the waves as if it was fate that they had to leave the Imperial Palace.

Kiehl pretended not to be interested as much as possible and listened to Rohan. If he knew Kiehl was still looking for Bella, he'd only have one more watch station.

‘They’ll give me that medicine again.'

He had it several times before. As Bella's figure began to fade even in his dreams, he didn't want it to fade into his memory anymore.

‘I have to go to the mansion after finding a chance somehow.'

It was the day he first went out of the Imperial Palace.

‘Will I ever go back in time again…?’

If that was the case, it would be great.

Unfortunately, there was no surprise at this time, and he couldn't see the flash. Only the twin escorts Rinne, Rio, and Rohan, whom he met after a long time, set out on this journey.

‘The composition is different from ten years ago.'

At that time, there was Peter, not Rohan.

Strangely, he had not seen Peter since he was in the Imperial Palace.

Although he thought that the escort was a bit small, Rohan believed in the twins' abilities. Rinne was an honor student who graduated with the best grades from Elysia Magical School, and Rio was a healer no less than that.

Besides, he trusted Kiehl more than anyone else.

The Emperor put him in a cage, lest anyone harm the Crown Prince, though Rohan saw Kiehl as strong enough that he didn't need it at all.

The Elysia Empire has had a splendid history since its foundation.

Elysia, the first Emperor and revered as the God of war. He founded the empire together with Ordi, who was revered as the archmage and goddess of ruin.

This Empire, which started as a myth from its foundation, had expanded its territory through numerous wars for over 1000 years and had blossomed into a brilliant civilization. Most of the royal family excelled in all fields as if they were born with ‘excellent genes.’

It was a remarkable point that did not differentiate between men and women, so unlike other countries, it was not uncommon for a princess to become an emperor. There were rumors that the first emperor was also a woman.

Anyway, that was why they were often revered as ‘Gods.’

For this reason, even though he was an emperor with great qualities, the evaluation of the Royal Family in history was evaluated as, ‘a very good genius or a fool who is easy to be taken advantage of.’

And, even though Kiehl didn’t have magical powers, he was proving himself enough of the blood of the imperial family.

"Everyone has gathered."

Rohan gazed at Kiehl and nodded his head.

‘No matter how shabby the clothes, it looked pretty.'

He would have lived as a commoner for a while, but the clothes he had prepared didn't suit him at all.

"Is there any place where the relics can be found?"

"Oh, yes. I've looked into a few places."

Rohan cleared his throat and spread the map on his desk. He took about six pictures with a pin and began to explain each one.

Kiehl was silently watching and listening.

"And, another case that needs investigation."

Rohan took a sip of the water and spoke.

"About ten years ago, there was an incident where the priests went missing while going on a mission to a foreign country in the Temple of Heritia."

Temple of Heritia.

As soon as Kiehl heard the name, his chest tightened. Seeing the magnificent temple from afar in the carriage, he remembered the promise he had made with Bella long ago.

‘I wanted to go with Bella.'

He could feel his own hands tremble and clenched his fists and folded his arms.

"There are rumors that they were attacked by a nearby bandit, but we need to check. The bandits haven't been active in a few years."

"There are too few clues."

"So, I think it would be better to go to the Valley of the Dragon first. It is a city near the temple…” Rohan said, pointing his finger at the map.

"Let's go to Daisy and find some more clues."

Daisy City…

It was the place where the summer festival was held.

The Temple of Heritia and the Daisy. Even just hearing these two names, Kiehl felt as if time had gone back to the year of the summer festival.

‘…I miss you.'

Kiehl bit his lip and covered his mouth with his hand, fearing that the emotions he had been holding back would explode.

"…Your Highness?"

"I'll go to Daisy."

Kiehl answered. Although his voice trembled a little, no one seemed to notice.

‘I must go to the mansion first.'

He couldn't contain his desire to see her. He had to see Bella, because of that, he was going to Daisy, and he would go to Daisy first.

Then, Rohan spoke.

"Then, I'll just stay here for one day, get organized, and go straight to Daisy."

Kiehl bit his lip tight.

‘You just go to the Valley of the Dragon.'

***

Kiehl got weird vibes going on until he got to Daisy. It was not like a murderous energy, but it felt like someone was constantly watching him.

"Rinne. Are there any assassins nearby?"

"Um, I don’t think so."

Rinne stopped while riding a horse at his question.

"There’s no sign that someone’s looking at us?"

"Really?"

Perhaps, because of the fresh air he had not felt in a long time, Kiehl felt a little better.

‘Am I just sensitive…?'

As they walked side by side on horseback again, Kiehl had a question.

"Rinne, you’ve grown a lot?"

"Kiehl has grown so much in just one year. I think 10cm is too big?"

"What's so important about heights?"

At their conversation, Rio, who was not even bigger than he was a year ago, grumbled in a rage.

"Now here, Rio, you are the shortest."

"No, I’m not?"

Then, when Rio slapped Rinne’s horse on the back, Rinne’s horse was startled and ran forward.

"Hey…! Rio! You’re going to die, really!"

Kiehl liked these twins.

When he first found out about them, he just knew they were a good kid. However, after returning to the Imperial Palace and getting to know Rio, he was the only one in the Imperial Palace with whom Kiehl could open his heart.

Looking at them, he remembered the people of the mansion that had been noisy a long time ago.

"Kiehl, you look good, by the way."

"Yes. It's been too long since I've been out."

"I see. Since it's an outing that we've already been able to get, let's find the holy relic and have fun."

Kiehl replied with a smile. But, he had no intention of having fun.

"I want to go to that mansion."

"It’s close to Daisy, so it'll be fine, but can you beat Rohan?"

"Ha… I'll have to think about that."

Since Rohan apparently said he was leaving for Daisy. If they hurry, they might be able to get to the mansion before he arrived.

***

Kiehl has had a hard time breathing his breath ever since he arrived on Daisy. Even the ground, houses, and trees were the same as when he visited several years ago.

“I think we should leave the horse at the inn first.”

"If it’s an inn, we can go anywhere."

The twins nodded and headed to some inn, though Kiehl caught them.

"No… there."

The inn that Kiehl’s hand pointed to was a high-end inn that looked quite expensive.

"We're hiding our identity. Can we go to a place like that?"

"I'm going over there."

Uttering so, he got off his horse and walked straight to the inn ‘Red Rose.’ With every step, memories bloomed one by one under his feet, holding his legs and forming vines like roses.

‘Ah. I flew a lantern from here.'

On the bridge across the river, Kiehl gazed up at the blue sky.

‘I guess I shouldn't have changed my wish back then.'

As Jenkins said he would write it himself, he erased his original wish and wrote that he would ‘become the prince.’ Was the wish that he secretly wrote, ‘Please be with Bella forever,' was not something to pray for…?

Suddenly, feeling as though someone was watching him, Kiehl turned his head to the place where he could feel the gaze.

‘Ah…’

Bella was there.

Fourteen-year-old Bella, dancing with twelve-year-old Kiehl.

The two of them, who were awkward at dancing, soon assimilated into the group, smiling brightly and following along.

— "Kiehl, you are going to sweep the social world later?"

— "Really?"

Bella's voice was heard.

‘Rather than being swept away, I am being swept away. I guess the Crown Prince doesn't have much to laugh about.'

Kiehl slowly walked into the vision.

Perhaps, there was still a handful of air that Bella had been breathing, so he had no choice but to go.
