The Male Leads Were Stolen by the Extra Chapter 66

 

Ella was running towards the Angel Fountain in the center of Monterra Street.

 

That was the starting point of the patrol when the Imperial Knights inspected Monterra Street.

 

As expected, a man wearing the uniform of the Imperial Knights was seen in the distance.

 

“S-Something big happened!”

 

Ella shouted with an urgent face and a loud voice.

 

The dark Monterra Street where everyone had left work. Her voice spread like an echo.

 

The two knights standing in front of the fountain heard her voice and approached the north entrance.

 

“What’s going on?”

 

“Haa, haa. I think there’s been a thief at the Blorence Store at the very end of the Magic District!”

 

Ella took a deep breath and spoke to the knights with a very urgent face. Just as the Miss had ordered.

 

“Let’s go.”

 

The knights who heard Ella’s words hurriedly ran down the north street. She followed the knights, begging them to please catch the thief, and stepped on the side street.

 

A while later.

 

The knights arrived in front of a store with a sign that said Blorence.

 

Although all the stores’ lights were off, this store was the only one with bright lights.

 

“Is this the right place?”

 

The knight turned around and asked the informant.

 

“What? Where did she go?”

 

However, the informant who had been making a fuss, begging them to catch the thief just a moment ago, was nowhere to be seen.

 

“Let’s go in first.”

 

They thought it was a false report, but since they had come this far and the store’s lights were on, the knights grabbed their swords and turned the store’s doorknob.

 

Squeak.

 

The doorknob turned smoothly and opened with an old sound.

 

The knights swallowed hard and quietly entered the store, lowering their posture as much as possible.

 

“What the hell is this…”

 

Soon, the Imperial Knights were speechless in surprise. The scene inside the store that unfolded wasn’t what they had expected.

 

A man was lying on a chair in the middle of the store with his hands and feet tied.

 

Something on the counter was playing a scene repeatedly, emitting light in the air.

 

[Can’t you hear? I’m asking why you set fire to the Wicklander store and killed Wicklander.]

 

[That old man saw my face. So it’s only natural to deal with him.]

 

The man who appeared in the scene was admitting that he set fire to the Wicklander store, which was recently determined to be a simple fire, and killed Wicklander.

 

And he was the man who was now lying in front of them.

 

Even a match and a bottle of alcohol that smelled like oil were placed on the man’s thigh.

 

The knights quickly approached the counter and grabbed the thing that was playing the scene.

 

“It’s a video tool.”

 

It was a video tool that could record and save situations.

 

***

 

In the carriage, returning to the duke’s residence after finishing the work neatly.

 

“I’ve really never seen someone like that.”

 

Ella was indignant that Gillian was the arsonist.

 

“I guess this is why they say not to trust people. It’s none other than the vice guild leader of Finnest…”

 

Ella shivered as if she was creeped out.

 

It was the same for Sellonia. She didn’t know he would be this shameless. His skin was thick, almost like an iron plate.

 

“Thank you so much today. I’ll give you anything you ask. Except for threatening me to tell you who you are.”

 

“That’s right! You were really cool!”

 

Ella nodded her head in agreement as Sellonia thanked Tan.

 

Honestly, if it weren’t for Tan, she would have been dizzy.

 

Who would have thought that he would swing a dagger at her, a princess? If he hadn’t stopped him, she would have probably been stabbed in the shoulder with a dagger.

 

How could she be the one receiving help every time?

 

“Anything?”

 

“If it’s realistically possible.”

 

Sellonia nodded at his question.

 

If he needed a house when he was about to leave the duke’s residence, she could prepare a small house for him.

 

“Alright. I’ll remember that.”

 

Tan smiled faintly at her.

 

Does she know what I’m asking for and that’s why she’s giving me what I want so generously?

 

He had so many things he wanted from her right now, but he was going to think about it as much as possible and use it sparingly.

 

‘Did I say that for nothing?’

 

Sellonia felt something was wrong at his smile.

 

However, she didn’t really correct him because it seemed like it would be awkward to take back what she had said. 

 

In the carriage that ran through the darkness toward the mansion, Sellonia absentmindedly looked down and gazed at his hand.

 

A large, red hand resting on the seat opposite her.

 

A red hand?

 

“Tan, your hand is bleeding!”

 

Sellonia raised her voice in shock.

 

Blood was soaking through the seat. As it was dripping from his hand.

 

That hand was the one holding the dagger that Gillian had thrown.

 

“Did you get cut? Why?”

 

“I know, right.”

 

He stared blankly at his hand as if he didn’t know and muttered.

 

He only realized he was hurt now. His body was in such a hurry that he didn’t even think about using force because he jumped out first.

 

“I’ll take a look.”

 

He was helping her and ended up getting cut by the dagger.

 

Being thankful and sorry, Sellonia grabbed his bleeding hand and pulled him towards her.

 

Tan flinched at the sudden touch of her hand. Once again, his heart began to pound.

 

“Doesn’t it hurt?”

 

She frowned involuntarily.

 

A deep cut on his palm was revealed.

 

The diagonal wound split open in two and was gushing blood. It looked painful at first glance.

 

Tan gazed down at Sellonia, who was gently holding his hand.

 

He could see her long eyelashes fluttering above her eyes, which were distorted as if she was in pain.

 

I’m fine, but why is she making this expression, I wonder.

 

As if she was in more pain than I was. As if she was worried about me.

 

“Are you worried?”

 

“Then should I not? You got hurt because of me. Though, of course, you wouldn’t die like this.”

 

Sellonia responded curtly, as if she was asking if he meant that.

 

The corners of Tan’s lips, which had been tightly shut, turned upward at that answer. Her answer was so delightful that he couldn’t help but smile.

 

It was enough to make him think that it would be fine to cut his legs or arms a few more times instead of his hand.

 

However, Tan never showed it.

 

Although the wound didn’t hurt, he knew that she would look at him longer if he pretended to.

 

That was good. That she was worried about him.

 

At that time, the only thing in her blue eyes was him.

 

How could he not like this? She was always complaining, yet she couldn’t just ignore these small wounds.

 

He felt that his feelings were growing uncontrollably.

 

“W-What should we do… There’s no styptic.”

 

Ella, who was looking at the wound with him, also made a worried voice.

 

Sellonia was examining his wound carefully. Looking at the wound, the cut was obviously quite serious and that if the bleeding wasn’t stopped, it would continue to bleed.

 

She didn’t have any particular concerns.

 

It was just a cut, and he had gotten hurt while trying to help her today.

 

“Stay still.”

 

She immediately placed her hand on his injured palm.

 

Concentrating and channeling her power, the white light flowing from her palm reached his palm.

 

Tan’s eyes were fixed on the sight. The white light, like a flash, spread to a size the size of her palm, penetrating into his wound.

 

He had heard a lot about her being a healer. He had also seen her shoot white light when she caught a monster at Marquis Denroha’s residence.

 

But it was the first time he had seen her directly heal a person.

 

Tan, who couldn’t take his eyes off the strange sight, suddenly flinched at the strange feeling.

 

All of a sudden, his head felt dizzy and his stomach rumbling. It was the first time he had seen this sight, but he felt a sense of deja vu.

 

What is it? Why…

 

“Does it hurt?”

 

Sellonia asked Tan, watching him, whose hand quivered, flinching.

 

The healing was completely complete. The wound had healed, and the spot where the wound had been had returned to its original state without leaving a scar. It was as if time had been turned back.

 

But why was he trembling as if in pain?

 

Was it because he was the Demon King that he couldn’t receive the healing power?

 

“No. I’m fine. It’s amazing.”

 

Tan immediately shook off the feeling of awkwardness at her warm question and tried to open and close his palm, which had been perfectly healed.

 

It was only the light flowing out from her that had seeped in, yet in an instant, the wound had disappeared.

 

His lips drew a soft curve in satisfaction.

 

He thought that the light she was sending out was as warm as the smile she was showing.

 

That was when.

 

Tan suddenly flashed his sharp eyes. For he had sensed a suspicious aura.
