‘I don’t want to hear that from the strongest in the world!’
When I clamped my mouth shut and said nothing, the thuggish Edan placed a hand on my head.
The heavy weight of his muscles made me feel like my height shrank by 0.1 cm.
“Want me to get you a cook?”
“What?”
What’s that supposed to mean? A cook, to me, who just finished cooking?
Blinking dumbly at the incomprehensible words, Edan suddenly pressed his fingertips harder. My head throbbed dizzily.
“Ow! That hurts!”
“Look at this.”
Unable to hold back a groan, Edan quickly eased the pressure. But his large hand still rested on my head.
“Thin, small. Your head feels like I could crush it with one hand.”
What a jerk. Why would he think that about someone’s head?
Fuming, I used both hands to try to push his arm off my head.
I wanted to dramatically slap his hand away and say, “Don’t touch me!” but reality isn’t so kind. Such cool lines were impossible for me.
“…Ugh!”
A weird sound effect escaped my throat, and Edan’s hand didn’t budge.
Flustered, I looked into his eyes, and Edan smirked, raising one corner of his mouth as if it was obvious.
“Try harder. Put some effort into it.”
No way. You lunatic.

Edan Dietrich’s ending is even more gruesome than mine.
I died as a mummy, drained of all healing power while working as a temple servant, but Edan was dismembered alive. And the ones who killed him were the male leads 1, 2, and 3.
Three people ganging up on one might seem despicable for romantic fantasy male leads… but the situation left them no choice.
Edan, already the strongest in the world, delved into dark magic to claim Ivy.
The combination of his powerful abilities and dark magic gave Edan absurd strength, and only the male leads could stand against him. Even then, it took all three of them together to take him down.
A bloodthirsty slaughterer who rampaged to possess Ivy alone, sparing no one, regardless of age or gender.
In the latter half, Edan was no longer human but a monster itself.
The reason Edan went so mad was that Ivy’s healing power was an incredible painkiller, and the abilities he and the male leads possessed came with excruciating pain.
In an empire plagued by frequent wars against monsters for peace, ability users were essential.
There were other knights with abilities besides the male leads, but they were far too weak, so the male leads played a massive role in the wars.
Heroes of the empire, yet tormented by the pain of their abilities.
Thus, the imperial family was always searching for women with healing powers.
The temple took on this task, and its priests scoured the empire to gather such women.
Thus, saintess candidates always filled the temple, and for a while, things seemed to work well.
But problems arose when the High Saintess lost her power.
The greater the pain caused by abilities, the more the saintess’s healing power was depleted.
With time, recovery was possible, but the war against monsters dragged on, and even a High Saintess couldn’t endure it, losing her power and dying.
There were many saintess candidates, but their healing power was far inferior to the High Saintess’s, and relying on them alone to heal the ability users’ pain was impossible.
So, after the High Saintess lost her power, the women who entered the temple as saintess candidates died one after another, drained into mummies without time to recover their healing power.
Yet the imperial family and temple kept searching for women with healing abilities for the male leads. Especially since the crown prince, an ability user set to inherit the throne, needed the High Saintess’s healing power above all.
For nearly five years, no woman appeared to take the High Saintess’s place.
When the temple and imperial family were sinking into despair, Ivy appeared.
Found in a tiny rural village, she was truly everyone’s light.
As soon as Ivy entered the temple, she began treating the male leads, and they naturally became addicted to her powerful healing.
Specifically, male leads 1, 2, and 3 did. Except for Edan, who was dragged to the northern war.
Edan met Ivy only after she was officially appointed as the High Saintess.
The delay was due to the crown prince, male lead 1, who disliked Edan.
Having experienced Ivy’s healing first, he felt how quickly the pain subsided.
Ivy’s power was an unprecedentedly strong healing ability. It not only alleviated pain but made the whole body feel at ease. Thus, the crown prince, wanting to keep her to himself, didn’t want to share her healing with Edan, with whom he had bad blood.
That was the root of the trouble.
Just before meeting Ivy, Edan was suffering excruciating pain from using great power in the war against monsters. When her blessing freed him from that pain in an instant, he fell madly for her.
She was his only salvation.
“But why is a northern grand duke alone in an eastern fortress?”
This is the eastern region of the empire, the place least related to the original story.
When life decides to go wrong, it finds a way to twist.
I thought I’d escaped a death ending by not going to the temple, but here’s another death route.
“Sigh.”
Since that day, sighs never stopped escaping my lips.
Edan keeps watching me. No, I only just noticed that he’s been watching me.
‘I’ve been watching you all along.’
It wasn’t a lie.
As soon as I became alert, I felt Edan’s gaze everywhere.
Does that guy ever sleep?
When I sweep with a broom, he’s on the second-floor terrace. When I clean windows, he’s at the end of the hallway. When I cook, he’s by the door.
When I’m doing nothing, he seems to stay in his room, but if I head toward the fortress walls, he comes out of his room and watches me from the second-floor window.
‘You know you’re a scary guy, so you’re watching me in case I run away, right?’
But I’m not that stupid! Sure, I act like a clumsy character, but running away right now would only raise suspicion.
Since I diverted attention by saying the headache was due to pepper, I’m carefully planning.
A plan to quit this job as naturally and smoothly as possible.

“Latieana, are you okay?”
The deliveryman Smith asked me with worried eyes.
Taking the usual bread and sausages, I smiled at him with dark circles under my hollow eyes.
“What? Why?”
“Your face looks pale… Is something wrong?”
“I haven’t slept much. I’m fine.”
I wasn’t fine, but with Edan watching from afar, I had to pretend I was.
After settling the bill and about to send him off, Smith suddenly pressed a carrot into my hand.
“Huh? Mr. Smith, I didn’t order this…”
“Latieana.”
Puzzled, Smith leaned in with a serious face and whispered.
“If you’re in danger, shake the carrot.”
“…What?”
“I didn’t say anything because you always seemed to enjoy your work, but there’s always been another man watching you from behind. Something’s happened, hasn’t it? Right?”
“…”
Smith, you knew all along. About Edan’s surveillance.
Something did happen. Something big I can’t handle. But I played dumb. I have my own escape plan.
“What are you talking about? I don’t know…”
Acting clueless, I shook my head, but Smith grabbed my hand and shouted.
“Latieana, I like you! I’ve wanted to say it for so long. So, shake the carrot, and I’ll take responsibility!”
Wait, what? What kind of train of thought is this?
“Uh, Mr. Smith, calm down…”
I tried to pull my arm free, but Smith gripped my hand even tighter.
“I’m serious! I really like you, Latieana…!”
Then a large hand covered mine, swiftly separating Smith’s arm from my hand.
At the same time, Smith flew sideways, crashing hard into the fortress wall. Bam!
“Urgh!”
“Eek! Mr. Smith!”
I covered my face with both hands and screamed.
“Ugh, ugh…”
Collapsed under the wall, Smith, thankfully alive, clutched his side, groaning and whimpering.
I whipped my head around to see Edan, the kicker, standing with a grim expression.
“Why confess in someone else’s house?”
I stared at him in shock, then turned back to Smith.
Smith was curled up even tighter, clutching his side.
Goodness. To take a kick from Edan.
“Mr. Smith! Is there a hole in your side? Let me see!”
“Don’t touch him.”
Reaching out to check if Smith was alive or dead, I froze at Edan’s cold words.
“What?”
“I’m in a bad mood.”
Suddenly? Why?
“I was just trying to help him up.”
“I said I’m in a bad mood.”
“…Why?”
“This is a no-confession zone. Rule-breakers annoy me.”
“…”
This guy… thinks everything he says is law! Nonsense!
He’s just mad that Smith confessed to me! He’s definitely annoyed that someone as lowly as me got a confession.
“Ugh…”
Smith groaned in pain, struggling to get up.
I turned to him. I wanted to at least help him stand, but Edan’s fierce glare made me hesitate.
Caught in the middle, unable to act, Edan spoke slowly, as if reluctantly.
“Fine. If you want to help, go ahead.”
“Really?”
“But this time, I’ll really put a hole in his side.”
“…”
I can’t keep up with this lunatic’s thinking.
When the male lead is punished by carrying the female lead’s child and having periods like a woman
“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
