I Accidentally Kidnapped The Ultimate Villain – Chapter 27

Ch 27

Killian was having a dream. Because of exploring the underground in the maze with Aria, a past he didn’t want to remember surfaced.

On the floor, there was a space made for fermenting food. It was something dug into the kitchen floor to store things that often required a long time. The inside was narrow, but it was well-made with wood, and it was also a place where he hid when he wanted to play hide-and-seek or be alone.

‘I have to hide here.’

‘Mother…….’

Tears welled up, but it was because of fear. That fear was not about losing his life, but the fear of the sense of loss after losing a loved one.

‘I want to be with you too.’

‘Don’t say such foolish things!’

‘B, but…….’

‘Stay here! Okay? Listen to your mother!’

Even while saying that, she was crying, and unlike her always strong appearance, she looked anxious. To him, she was a mother as high as a mountain, but in the end, she was also just a person.

At that time, he was a child who was only then realizing that.

‘Never, absolutely never come out until it is completely quiet.’

‘Yes…….’

As his mother wiped away her tears and closed the door, he had no choice but to stay still, curled up. When the mat covered the faintly entering light, his vision darkened.

He didn’t know how much time had passed.

―Bang!

‘Search!’

Because the people who came inside broke things, there were sounds of things breaking, falling, and all sorts of destructive noises.

Young Killian closed his eyes and covered his ears in fear. Without even being able to stretch out his curled-up body, he wished for the situation to pass.

Why did this happen, and how did this happen?

At that time, he didn’t know.

‘It seems they all ran away.’

‘Those mouse-like things.’

A man who seemed to be the leader of the group spat out curses. Then, he took out his sword again, and the sound of him breaking things here and there in the house was heard. The sound of the sword cutting through the air and something colliding and shattering was very irregular.

How many minutes had they searched the house like that?

‘They say they found the red-haired b*tch!’

‘I’m going that way.’

Killian knew that meant they had found his mother.

As time passed, there was no sound around him. He remembered his mother’s words to come out when it was completely quiet, but he was too afraid to do so.

But if he kept still, he thought he might never see his mother again.

He ignored his fear and went outside and ran like that. Because he knew where his mother would be.

Because there was a place they had agreed to meet when they escaped, in case something like this happened.

‘Mother!’

He saw his mother from afar, her long red hair tied up in one, looking around. When he ran to her and hugged her tightly, his mother, who had found her son, hugged him tightly.

‘Are you okay, Killian? Are you hurt anywhere?’

‘Yes! Are you okay, Mother?’

This place was a deep forest that was hardly known to outsiders. The path to get in was rough, and above all, it was because they thought no one would climb the mountain at night. There were also wild beasts, and many traps set by hunters.

‘Who were those people from before? Why are we always being chased?’

‘Killian…… I’ll tell you everything later when the time comes. I can’t tell you now.’

He saw tears welling up in his mother’s eyes, and he thought he didn’t need to hear the answer to that question. He thought it was better not to know at all than to see his mother cry.

He was barely calming down as his mother hugged him.

He saw a flame in the distance, and it didn’t take long to realize what it was. Because it was getting closer very quickly.

‘It’s here!’

‘We found the b*tch!’

Their breaths were getting rough, and their legs were getting heavier, but the escape route was completely blocked. The only places Killian and his mother could go were under the waterfall or the path where the men in black clothes were coming.

‘H, how…….’

‘Did you think we wouldn’t know? Where you would hide your child.’

At those words, he knew he was the cause. If he hadn’t come to find his mother.

‘M, Mother…….’

Then they wouldn’t have been discovered because of him.

The men were laughing mercilessly, making that guilt seem insignificant.

‘Be grateful that we’re killing you mouse-like lives without humiliation.’

Then his mother hugged Killian tightly and said coldly into his ear.

‘No matter what happens to me, you run away.’

‘N, no……. Mother…….’

‘Haha, how touching. Take care of the brat first.’

‘Yes!’

‘No!’

Then his mother pushed Killian under the waterfall. The last thing he saw of his mother was her being pierced by numerous blades and falling down.

That remained as his last memory.

It also overlapped with Aria Dolorein, who had thrown herself for him.

◈◈◈

“Huu!”

Killian, who woke up from his sleep, felt suffocated while breathing. It was as if air was clearly coming in, but his body was strangely limp, as if it wasn’t being absorbed into his lungs.

He was clearly breathing. But his eyes were stinging, and his nose was clogged, as if he were breathing underwater. The air entering his lungs was full of only oxygen, and it felt like he was being squeezed, as if the concentration of carbon dioxide was insufficient.

“Ugh…… Killian?”

Aria, who had fallen asleep together, woke up and guessed his condition. She seemed surprised and stiffened, and her eyes widened.

“Ugh, huu……!”

Killian was clutching his chest, struggling to breathe, which was not getting any easier.

He knew what this was.

As Killian knew, Aria also realized. But because of the arms tied before going to bed, she couldn’t go far away from him. So, she had no choice but to lay him down properly and take off his nightcap and put it to his mouth.

“It’s okay, Killian!”

She said, hugging him from behind and leaning him against her chest.

“Breathe slowly!”

As physiological tears flowed down, he was gradually calming down. When she put the nightcap around his mouth, allowing him to breathe in the air he had exhaled, his vision was returning.

After a few minutes, he was catching his breath and tightly grasped her hand. As his calming chest cooled down quickly, Killian trembled slightly.

“It’s okay.”

At Aria’s voice, which was messing up his ears, he closed and opened his eyes deeply. Then, her blue eyes, looking at him worriedly, were so beautiful.

He even forgot his own situation and laughed.

“Are you back to your senses?”

“Yes.”

When he had completely regained his breath, Aria removed the nightcap. He was looking up at her with his head on Aria’s thigh, and he said languidly.

“I’m embarrassed.”

“About what?”

Her lips, asking innocently, looked red.

“Doesn’t everyone have something they don’t want to be exposed?”

“The memory…….”

“Only this part I remember.”

As Killian said with a smile, Aria sighed softly and carefully wiped away the tears that had flowed to his temples, saying.

“I don’t remember anything. It’s a dream now.”

“Hahahaha.”

Then he realized that he had also learned about Aria’s hidden weakness.

He thought it seemed quite fair.

“Did you have a bad dream?”

“No.”

“Then something very surprising…….”

“The Young Lady attacked me in her sleep.”

It was a joke, but Killian laughed again because Aria became serious with an expression that she believed the words completely.

The way she was flustered and swayed didn’t feel foolish. Rather, because of that…….

“Being with Young Lady Aria is really nice.”

“It’s nice even though I attacked you again?”

“Since Young Lady Aria attacked me, it’s my turn now.”

“Yes?”

Killian, who had risen up, laid Aria down below him. The sweet scent of the fragrant oil from the nightcap seemed to be stronger when she lay on the bed. Because he liked that scent, Killian didn’t want to let go of the hand that was holding her.

“How did you know the method to deal with it?”

Aria couldn’t say that she had learned it in her previous life, so she avoided his gaze. Then Killian grabbed her arm and made her raise it up. Because they were still connected, her arm was easily pulled up.

“You don’t want to talk about it?”

“It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just difficult…… Ah!”

Killian didn’t like that she was looking elsewhere, so he let go of the arm he was holding and made her look at him. When he gently grabbed her chin and made her look at him, Aria’s sapphire-like eyes were wide with surprise.

“Young Lady.”

“Ugh…… Yes.”

What had been welling up in Killian’s eyes fell onto her face as he blinked. The tears flowed down Aria’s cheeks, and she was quite shaken. Killian, who was pleased with her shaken eyes, said.

“Even if I find my memories, I want to be with Young Lady Aria.”

“Killian…….”

Because she was saying it as if she was troubled, Killian couldn’t stand it.

“How about we do something that will make us responsible for each other?”

“Yes?”

“Then, Young Lady Aria won’t be able to try to run away from me like you are now, right?”

Killian was close enough for his breath to reach her.

Aria thought she had to avoid it, but she was stiff because she couldn’t accept this situation. While looking at his ears, which had turned bright red, and his beautiful violet eyes that were filled with tears.

“Please don’t avoid me, Aria. Please.”
