I Accidentally Kidnapped The Ultimate Villain – Chapter 84

Ch 84

Killian, without realizing it, gripped Aria’s hand very tightly.

“Do you want to touch me?”

“Yes. Isn’t it the same for Killian? In my opinion, it seems like it’s because of the orb.”

He didn’t want to tell the truth as she got closer to the truth. It was as if he was saying that the reason he wanted to touch her and be with her was because of the orb.

He didn’t want to admit that his feelings started with those things, but now that’s all they were. He still didn’t know them well, and if he told her, it seemed like Aria would jump to conclusions.

“Killian?”

“I don’t know. Not that far.”

“Really? When I’m touching Killian like this, I feel like we’ve become one.”

“……Do you know how that sounds?”

“Huh? How does it sound?”

His ears turned red, not because of a cold, but because of embarrassment. It used to be Aria who was embarrassed when I said things like this.

Now, it felt like the situation was reversed.

“Doesn’t it feel like something that was broken is being connected again?”

“…….”

“Killian?”

Aria, surprised by his serious expression, looked at him.

“Every time Aria says something like that, I regret stopping last time.”

“Last time?”

“…….”

He felt even more down because it seemed like she really didn’t understand.

“It’s fine. Let’s just go into the maze.”

“Huh? Oh… Okay.”

Aria thought that his mood was fluctuating because he had a fever. If that was the case, they could just go back, but she didn’t know why they were taking a walk like this.

Her head was also complicated because of the orb.

“But Killian.”

“Yes.”

“The orb can’t be used by someone without divine power anyway, right?”

“That’s right.”

“But why are the things in the temple keep disappearing?”

“It must be someone who can use them is taking them.”

“……I guess so.”

Aria couldn’t tell if he was pretending not to know something or if he was saying that because he didn’t know. In the original work, the cause of the temple terror was Killian.

Because he tormented Lionell to get Melina back.

“Then who is the culprit?”

“Are you asking that when I could be the culprit?”

“I’m asking because I hope it wasn’t Killian.”

He was comfortable with Aria’s uncalculating nature. Even if she did have some calculations, he felt like he would know them.

Unlike the world he lived in, walking on a knife’s edge, it was more comfortable, and he didn’t have to be suspicious,

“I am not the culprit.”

It was making him honest.

“So, it’s not Killian.”

“Still, you shouldn’t believe so easily.”

“But you just said no…….”

“Hahaha.”

He laughed because he liked seeing her easily relax her expression and then be flustered by his words. It was definitely because of the cold. His heart was pounding, and his face was hot.

“Don’t let go of my hand.”

“I don’t know.”

Even though Aria said that, she didn’t resist him holding her hand tightly.

“Sometimes when I look at Killian, I really don’t know if he’s a good person or a bad person.”

“It’s hard to define a person as just one thing. I want to be a good person even though I’m a bad person.”

“What does that mean?”

He was about to explain it, but he didn’t want to say those things out loud. The moment he said it, he felt like he would completely lose to her.

“It’s nonsense.”

As Killian smiled and led her by the hand, Aria quietly followed him.

When they arrived at the maze, Killian smiled again. The reason he came here was because of the divine beast.

“Aria.”

“Yes?”

“Do you know about divine beasts?”

“A sacred animal?”

“Yes.”

Killian thought there was no way Aria wouldn’t know about divine beasts. Leon was obedient to her.

“To awaken a divine beast, you need the divine power contained in the orb.”

“Yes.”

“The orbs that Aria and I share originally belonged to our estate.”

“Ah…….”

“And the place where the divine beast is sleeping was here.”

Aria was briefly surprised to hear a story she hadn’t heard in the original work.

“Killian.”

“Yes.”

“Do you perhaps know about the divine beast?”

“……Yes.”

Aria was amazed that the divine beast that only showed itself to her was acquainted with Killian.

Come to think of it.

He said there was an unspeakable contractor.

“What is the relationship between Leon and Killian?”

“A contract relationship.”

“Killian.”

“Yes.”

Aria, seeing him answer everything so readily, unknowingly continued to speak.

“Was it really a coincidence that you were kidnapped to this estate?”

“Yes.”

She was even more unable to believe him because he answered immediately.

But he was sincere. He was planning to come someday, but he had no intention of entering the Dolorein Estate like that.

It was also true that it would be easier to investigate if he infiltrated secretly.

Living with Aria, who was practically a surveillance, was not a very wise method.

“You came to our estate by chance while trying to awaken the divine beast?”

“Yes.”

“And that divine beast you awakened is Leon?”

“Yes.”

“…….”

Aria’s eyes met Killian’s, who was looking at her calmly. She somehow wanted to believe him but couldn’t.

The cruel image from the original work she had read. And the lies he had been telling her like a habit until now.

And the unbelievable coincidences.

“Why did you try to awaken the divine beast?”

“That’s… uh….”

Killian couldn’t open his mouth because the restriction was activated again.

Aria was going to wait until he spoke. But even after several minutes passed, he didn’t say anything in that state.

“Killian.”

“Yes.”

“Do you have nothing to say?”

“I can’t speak.”

“Ah…….”

Aria thought that he couldn’t speak because he was hiding something. If he came to see her with a fever, like a fool she would be charmed by him again and do whatever he wanted.

“Then what kind of contract did you make?”

“……I can’t say that either.”

“…….”

Aria felt more uneasy as he held her hand tighter.

“Let’s let go for a moment.”

“I can’t.”

“Why?”

“Because I’m anxious.”

“Ah…….”

She looked into his eyes and decided not to let go. Because he seemed sincere.

“I suddenly can’t trust Killian anymore.”

“……I understand.”

He felt the anxiety he had felt for a while melt away as Aria spoke honestly. Rather, if she had been hiding something from him and not saying it, this anxiety might have continued.

“Why did you want to come here?”

“I wanted to combine the orbs.”

“Ah…….”

“And I plan to return it to the divine beast.”

“The orbs?”

“Yes.”

Aria couldn’t understand his words at all, but she could understand the purpose.

“If this disappears, I won’t feel this way when I see Killian anymore.”

“That’s… it won’t be.”

Killian said that, but he was anxious. That was why he hadn’t even tried to take the orb from her until now.

At first, it was because it was fun.

Then it was because it was interesting.

Then, at some point, he realized that he had never felt as comfortable as when he was with her.

At first, he thought it was because he wanted to use her as usual, but as he stayed close and touched her, he realized that it wasn’t.

He didn’t think the feelings he had now would change even if the orbs were completely combined and he didn’t need her energy anymore.

But what about Aria?

She might not be.

Suddenly, he was regretting whether it was reckless to bring her here.

But she had now broken off her engagement with the Crown Prince.

So, even if she ran away, the only place she could return to was his arms.

“How can Killian be so sure of that?”

“I’m sure. Because I know.”

Aria was a little confused by his confident answer. So, even as she went down the stairs with him to the very bottom, the place where she had originally met the divine beast, the conversation didn’t continue.

Aria was lost in thought and didn’t say anything. She had so many things she wanted to believe but couldn’t, so she became silent.

On the other hand, Killian noticed that she didn’t trust him and couldn’t say anything more. It didn’t seem like anything he said would help.

The choice was left to her, and he was in a position where he wanted her to trust him and treat him warmly as she did now, and as she had before.

Even so, he had a strange certainty.

If it was anyone else, maybe not, but if it was Aria Dolorein.

She would eventually trust him again.

“We’re all the way down.”

“So it seems.”

Aria wanted to say something, so she opened her mouth first. Next to her, Killian, who was red-faced from his fever, was smiling brightly.

“Killian.”

“Yes.”

“I still can’t trust you.”

“I see. That’s a shame.”

He said it as if he was genuinely disappointed. But she didn’t want to lie, so she said it.

“How do we combine the orbs now?”

“Stand on the magic circle you see there and summon the divine beast.”

“Okay.”

She did as he said and walked into the magic circle where she had first seen the divine beast.

And holding his hand, she took a breath and said.

“Leon.”

Then, the small divine beast she had seen before appeared.
