CH 2

"What in the world is this crazy developed?!"

"Besides, you are not human anymore."

"And I am just an extra walking by!"

The moment I open the cage, I die.

I'm sure I'll die.

But let's pretend not to know and run away, it's Aslan this time. It was like on verge of crossing the Dan river.

His condition was terrible at first sight. She didn't know whether if he was hit by a spear or arrow, but the wound was wide open. There was a pool of dark red blood at his feet.

"Pooh, if I let you go, you won't eat me right?"

"Grrrrr."

"Ppa, say yes!"

"Grrrrr."

Vivian was in despair. Even though she didn't expect human-level intelligence and sensibility from animals.

No matter how much he is, Aslan's eyes at her seemed to be looking at the finest dry-aging tenderloin steak of the highest class.

'Damn it, what's going on here? I'm your fiancee!'

The tenderloin steak wailed sadly. Of course, that didn't changed the current situation.

She don't know how Aslan got stuck in this cage, but the more he struggled, the more terrible the condition of the wound became.

The amount of bleeding on the floor clearly showed that his time left was not long.

'I'm really going to die at this rate. Isn't there any way?'

Vivian got close to the cage for now. Then the black lion, who was crying loudly and showing his fangs while looking at her.

The bright yellow gleam examined her every move. There seems to be terrible pressure weighed on her shoulders even though a huge iron cage was blocking them.

'I can't just pass by. I'm so weak to animal.'

If she turns into a blind eye and passes by now, Aslan will die.

This place was a deserted, deep mountain. The only human being who can save him is herself.

"Don't worry. I'll take responsibility for you and save you."

Vivian couldn't help but say it, even though she knew that Nam Joo, who is in a beast state, had no reason to do so.

"So you should save me, too. Got it?"

She got an ax nearby and started hitting the thick lock.

When the black lion saw Vivian trying to break the bars, the black lion stand up in surprise and stared at her.

He bared his teeth as if he would bite and kill her if necessary, but there was a bewildering light in the corner of his bright yellow eye.

"Cough cough."

Vivian, who was concentrating breaking the lock, suddenly stiffened her shoulders.

Teary, hot blood came out like the airway. It was the lung disease.

"Oh my. Cough cough."

Her breath was so tight that she couldn't get a hold of herself.

She knew that she would not die with this much because she had been sick of lung disease since right after she possessed this body, but it still hurt so much that she could die.

Vivian clenched her teeth and finally struck the axe. The dangerously rattling lock broke into two with a sharp burst.

The tension was relieved with a sense of accomplishment that she finally did it. It was at the same time that Vivian who is exhausted, collapsed helplessly and the bars were opened.

The black lion's voice echoed. He seems to have no intention of saving her.

'Am I going to die now. I wish I had a body left intact.'

She couldn't get herself together because of breathing difficulties. It's too late to run away.

"Grrrrr!"

A huge shadow came over Vivian, who had fallen.

This was the last night she perceived before she fainted.

"Well... ."

Vivian get up and blinked blankly. The place where she lay was a very dark cave with no light.

Why did I suddenly open my eyes in such a place? She reasonable deducted the process of being in the present situation.

"Is this gloomy atmosphere the afterlife?"

It was not clear whether the cause of death was a lung disease attack or whether she fainted and become the male lead's daily food.

But Aslan had been wounded and starved for a long time,he must have been very hungry.

Vivian's mind flashed through a feast of splendid mosaics. It was all red.

"Well, I am glad I don't remember."

What will happen to me now?

Just as Vivian sighed softly and got up, she heard the sound of footsteps outside the cave. A bright yellow light flashed in the dark.

A great black lion was staring at Vivian.

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr."

Feeling that the hunch wasn't very good, Vivian stepped back slowly with her hip. But Aslan came at her faster.

Boom!

Huge paws pressed heavily against her chest. Vivian was already lying on the floor. Her Aslan, who climbed on top of her as if on a hunt, glared at her fiercely.

Vivian thought while staring at Aslan's golden eyes.

'Could it be he is up to something?'

Vivian has not met Aslan since becoming possessed in the novel. This was because at the point she has already been diagnosed lung disease.

But even though she had never actually met him, Vivian felt the confusion in his eyes.

Now he seemed more relaxed than anyone else. Like he doesn't understand why she's behaving like this.

'It really hurts!'

She was pushed down by his heavy forepaws and fell straight into the back head on the stone floor. The sound of watermelon breaking was so clear and bright.

But look at Aslan's brazen face.

No matter how sick and tired of the opponent, they may flinch if he makes this much noise from his head, but why is he glaring at him like that?

"What's wrong with your conscience?'

"Grrrr."

"Is it... work?"

She was grumbling, but she quickly spoke formally to Aslan's cool voice.

Vivian in the novel did not know that Aslan was cursed by Astaroth. It was a top secret that only part of the imperial family knew about.

Therefore, it was natural for him, in his animal state, to keep his words low.

But, looking at these terrifying eyes, she couldn't speak comfortably as if she was dealing with an ordinary beast.

Something came into Vivian's sight as she hesitated.

"Oh, my God, hurt!"

Aslan's left side was badly torn. It wasn't just him. He suffered terrible injuries here and there, not once or twice.

It was true that Aslan's claws were frightening that she was afraid he will kill her, but when she saw that terrible wound, she couldn't let it slide.

"Get your feet off me."

".... ."

"Get out of my way. I won't run away!"

Is it true, or is it because of Vivian's power? At any rate, Aslan is faltered.

She rose quickly and examined Aslan's side more closely. Blood was seeping through the wound.

It seemed that treatment was needed immediately, but there wasno way that medicine and bandages could be obtained in a cave that did not know where it was.

In addition, because of the bandits, the wagon overturned and even all her luggage was lost.

"What should I do... ."

For a moment, her pity outweighed fear.

Aslan's childhood, when he was abused by his father, the emperor, flashed through his mind.

Trapped in a cold bedroom, tied up his own wounds without the help of others, and swallowed the pain with his mind.

"Your situation is like this, but you haven't shown any sign of it. How painful it must have been."

As expected, the most serious condition was the injury on the left side. If it was a little deeper, it would have been so badly damaged that the intestines were amputated.

If his body was the size of a normal lion, he must have been killed by a single stroke.

"I'll have to stop the bleeding first."

"Grrrr!"

Aslan, who breathed heavily as if enduring her touch, finally showed his teeth ferociously.

But Vivian let go of her dress, regardless, she left only a white and thin skirt then took off all the layers of skirt that could be used as a bandage.

Squeak! Squeak!

In no time, a dress luxuriously decorated with lace and jewels ripped out of her rasp like a piece of paper.

The clothes exceeded the price of a townhouse, but Vivian's expression was insignificant.

After completing the bandage, she held the resisting black lion and tied it to the wound. Aslan, who seemed to be hugged by Vivian, struggles again, unable to bear it.

"Keuwangg!"

"I'll save you even if you don't want to. You have to live for now! I don't even know who made you do this. Isn't it unfair to die like this?"

Aslan, who was twisting like crazy, suddenly paused. He blinked and stared silently at Vivian.

In the meantime, she hurriedly bandaged and stopped the bleeding, so she stepped back and sighed deeply.

"That's enough."

"... ."

"It must have hurt, but you endured it well."

Vivian smiled bright wit an exhausted look on her face. Perhaps because She was nervous all day, she felt a slight dizziness.

Asln, who was watching the scene, hesitated  to put his had into her. Vivian, staggering, suddenly sank to the floor.

"Cough, cough!"

The seizure, which she thought had calmed down, began again. The reason was that he took off everything in a cold winded cave, leaving only a thin skirt.

"Cough, cough!"

She had a burning pain in her chest. Blood flowed through her throat and her breath was tight.

Her breathless, panting, and darkened vision.

It was dark.
