The Male Leads Were Stolen by the Extra

 

That night.

 

Whether it was because of stress or because she had a lot of thoughts, Sellonia couldn’t sleep easily today.

 

“Haa…”

 

She let out a low sigh and got up on the bed.

 

Since it wasn’t good for her to sleep like this, she thought that she should at least take a walk in the garden to soothe her stuffy stomach.

 

On a chilly night, she took a thick shawl, wrapped it around her shoulders, and opened the door to see the knight, who was guarding her, dozing off.

 

Midnight when everyone was asleep.

 

She didn’t want to give him a job, so she quietly slipped out of the hallway alone.

 

At certain distances, she moved along the path illuminated by the magical light installed on the wall.

 

“What on earth is he thinking, I wonder.”

 

She muttered as she remembered the Demon King she had seen throughout the day.

 

His attitude was unexpected.

 

She thought he would be threatening or intimidating, yet he would just wander around the mansion like a ghost and wouldn’t come out of his room all day.

 

Although she didn’t know what he was doing in there, he wasn’t even eating.

 

What is he up to?

 

“As expected, he’s dangerous.”

 

Thinking about how to get him out, she went down the stairs and headed for the front door.

 

It was then.

 

“Ugh…”

 

She heard a faint sound of pain from somewhere.

 

“Hhh, ugh…”

 

Just as she wondered if she had heard something wrong, she heard a strange sound again.

 

When she turned her head, there was no one around.

 

It’s just that the light was leaking from the room right next to where she was standing.

 

The lighted room was the guest room, the room that man was currently staying in.

 

The room where he went in all day and didn’t come out.

 

Somehow wanting so, she hesitantly approached the front door, and a clearer sound flowed out than before.

 

Hearing it again, it was more like a groan of pain.

 

A groan. Anxiety and conflict felt at the same time.

 

Should she check it out?

 

The worry was very short.

 

Although she didn’t know what it was, she needed to know what scheme he was up to.

 

This was her home, with the people she held dear.

 

“Hey.”

 

No matter how many times she knocked, there was no answer.

 

Reluctantly, Sellonia turned the doorknob.

 

“Excuse me.”

 

As she opened the door, the bright light made her frown.

 

She checked the room, blinking her cold eyes to adjust to the light.

 

“Huh?”

 

He was nowhere to be seen in a room with a large chandelier.

 

The bed was neatly made with no trace of him lying down, and he wasn’t even on the sofa next to the table.

 

‘I could definitely hear it.’

 

Besides, wasn’t it reported that he entered the room and didn’t move a single step?

 

She had several suspicious parts, but first of all, since that man was gone, she turned her back to leave the room.

 

“Ugh.”

 

In an instant, a small groan pierced her ears.

 

The sound came from the bathroom with the door half open.

 

Bathroom?

 

With a grave face, she took her steps without hesitation and stood in front of the bathroom with her back to the door.

 

It was a more private space than the room, so she didn’t open the door more or look back.

 

“Hey.”

 

“…”

 

“What’s wrong?”

 

No answer came.

 

“If there’s no answer, I’ll check it, you know? For real?”

 

He didn’t respond even after warning several times.

 

Sellonia couldn’t help but turn her body around.

 

At that moment, her eyes widened to the point of popping out.

 

Whatever the case, he was naked.

 

She was so startled that she couldn’t even turn her head and froze.

 

She was staring unintentionally, so she knew right away.

 

Why was that man gasping for breath at any moment with his shirt off in the middle of the night?

 

He was lying on his back in the bathtub, panting.

 

His body exposed under the bathroom lamp was filled with muscles without gaps like a well-carved work, and there was a long and large wound that started from the center of his left chest and continued to his abdominal muscles.

 

Red blood was oozing out of his open wound.

 

“Uuugh…”

 

While she was unable to do anything, she heard a painful moan again.

 

He was in so much pain that he bit his teeth and was even breaking out in a cold sweat.

 

“Is it a raid? What happened!”

 

Coming to her senses, she approached, stunned.

 

This was clearly a cut on the blade. However, the room was clean and the windows weren’t open.

 

He took a deep breath at the sound of her voice and raised his head.

 

Sellonia was startled by the red eyes she encountered.

 

It was because those eyes were so bloody that they seemed like they were going to kill anyone.

 

He glared at her with a more serious expression than before. To the point where she could see that he wasn’t very happy with her appearance.

  

“Go away.”

 

The answer that came back to the person who asked because she was worried was a rupture one.

 

Still, she endured it because she couldn’t get angry with a sick person.

 

“First, doctor, I’ll call the doctor.”

 

“Don’t mind, ugh… Go away.”

 

How good he was at telling her to go away with a face that looked like he was going to die.

 

He swallowed the pain and bit his lip, frowning.

 

His chest rose and fell so loudly that she couldn’t fathom how much pain it was.

 

His whole body was wet with sweat.

 

Cold sweat ran down his face, pooled on his chin, and dripped down into the gaping wound between his chest.

 

Sellonia, who witnessed the scene, frowned as it seemed to be all stinging.

 

Her healing powers healed the wound.

 

Yet she couldn’t bear to use her healing powers.

 

If he was a simple patient, she would have been able to use it, but isn’t he the Demon King?

 

The morality of a savior was holding her back.

 

“I can’t. I should at least treat it until the doctor arrives.”

 

Sellonia, rushing out of the bathroom, caught a servant passing by and ordered the doctor to be called.

 

Then she quickly returned with a first-aid kit from the guest room.

 

“The doctor will come soon. I’ll have a look before that. I think I need to disinfect first…”

 

She was in a hurry, so as soon as she went back into the bathroom, she reached out to him.

 

No, she was trying to. If only she hadn’t been caught.

 

“Go away…!”

 

Holding her hand nervously, he opened his surprised eyes wide.

 

He looked at her in disbelief, with his eyes quivering in confusion.

 

“What? Why is that, wuaaakh!”

 

Sellonia, who was looking at him who had suddenly become ice, fell in front of him with a scream.

 

The wind of the strong hand, holding her tightly, pulled her hand.

 

Unable to focus on the unexpected event, she slammed her face into his bare chest.

 

She couldn’t even lift her head.

 

“What are you.”

 

The unrefined voice mixed with rough breathing rang in her ears.

 

***

 

It was an indescribable pain.

 

The big wound in his chest was like knife-like sharp pain at midnight.

 

The pain was as painful as his skin being torn off by something very sharp.

 

When the severity was severe, the wounds opened along with the pain and blood flowed. Just like today.

 

The wound was present from the moment he opened his eyes. As if he had had such an experience in the past that he didn’t know about.

 

An abandoned house where no people or anything exists.

 

He opened his eyes three months ago there. With all his memories lost.

 

He wandered about to get even the slightest clue, yet to no avail.

 

As he got used to this life of desolation and loneliness, he realized that he could use strange abilities.

 

However, that didn’t help him find out who he was.

 

Time passed just like that.

 

He might get used to it, but as he struggled with the unfamiliar pain, the day dawned brighter.

 

Just like the darkness that naturally disappears when the sun rises, when dawn comes, his pain disappears as if it never happened.

 

Bluish dawn.

 

His pain subsided as the sun broke through the darkness and shone.

 

Even if he’s sick and looks like he will die, it doesn’t seem to want to kill him.

 

The pain and recovery had been repeated for three months.

 

But why, he wonders.

 

Why does the moment he hold this woman’s hand, his pain disappears?

 

It was something that he couldn’t get out of even if she struggled to get out of it.

 

“Hey!”

 

Sellonia raised her head in a flash.

 

It wasn’t enough to see bare skin in front of her eyes, and the fact that her face touched his chest made her ears burn.

 

“What are you going to do now?”

 

Annoyance erupted from her mouth at the unruly man.

 

What kind of rude behavior is this to someone who is trying to help?

 

The sarcasm hurt for a while, Sellonia was immediately taken aback.

 

Even though the red eyes staring at her were confused, they contained an unspoken sense of urgency.
