The Extra Wants To Live

. "… … ."

Carl frowns after reading the letter.

At the age of eighteen, Carl was already almost physically complete, and his beautiful appearance seemed to shine even in the dark.

Even frowning eyebrows are noble and beautiful.

But Carl did not like this appearance of his own very much.

He wanted to grow up with a sturdy body like Nero, but he ended up with a long and elegant body like Adrian and a delicate appearance like a doll.

Carl can now break a sturdy spear with his bare hands.

However, because his body was so thin and slender, he looked frail on the outside.

If he took his clothes off, his muscular body would be visible, but the noble Carl never showed his bare body, so those who saw Carl fight for the first time were surprised at how fiercely he fought with such a skinny body.

"I will go to Himmeln. Tell Lady Catherine to join me with only the royal troops."

Everyone's faces harden at Carl's words.

The Laurel Legion has made a name for itself over the past year, solving numerous problems in the eastern part of the Empire.

When the war with Tumaria broke out, he created a huge war system by tying together the eastern territories centered around Dabron, which would become the most intense battleground, and he became the largest and strongest cogwheel to maintain it.

You're leading a laurel unit like that to Himmeln?

Carl exhaled slowly into the stiff air.

Pure white breath flows out from between slightly parted red lips and disappears into the sky like a cloud.

"Brother Aric is calling."

"What… is the problem?"

Carl slowly opens his mouth to speak to Harmon, who is asking questions in a nervous voice.

"Don't worry, we're not in trouble."

Carl was too covered

. Because of this, those who were unaware of the promise between Aric and Carl were always on edge, wondering if something would happen between the two brothers.

Even Harmon, who knows the inside story, is worried that Aric might abandon Carl, or that Carl might drag Aric out.

It's not surprising that something like that could happen at any time.

However, the trust between Aric and Carl is much stronger than expected, so there is no room for other problems to creep in.

To achieve this, Carl made many concessions, and in return, Aric trusted Carl and gave him great power.

"Then, what on earth is going on…."

"They say there was a rebellion."

"Rebellion…?"

Carl felt a little uneasy about something that had happened without his knowledge.

Now, so much has changed from the original that it's become impossible to predict what will happen.

Now that it's come to this, he have no choice but to just let it be.

'Even so, this is really out of the blue.'

Carl was troubled by the news of the rebellion.

The empire is now at peace under Azgoth's reign, and the succession is clearly divided between Carl and Aric, with Carl supporting Aric.

There is no excuse for rebellion…

"… … It's been a year… … ."

Carl, who was thinking about a troubling matter, suddenly looks up at the sky and mutters quietly.

A smile like the spring breeze hung on his face.

When Carl, who is as beautiful as an angel, smiles like that, people can't help but stare at him in awe.

'His laughing at the thought of meeting Lilly in the midst of all this...'

Harmon was disgusted by Carl's smile, even after hearing the news of the rebellion, at the thought of meeting Lilly.

This mama's boy...No, the filial son who loved his mother had been away from Himmeln for the past year and had no idea how much he had worried about Lilly.

There are so many letters exchanged between Carl and Lilly that it is difficult to keep track of them.

Fortunately, after Carl gained power, Lilly gained considerable status, even if unofficially.

Although she is still only Carl's nanny, the only person who can treat Lilly, whom Carl cherishes, carelessly is Azgoth at best.

Even though Lilly comes from a humble family, she is treated as a noble lady, slightly lower than the empress.

It was partly Carl's fault, but it was also because Lilly behaved humbly and modestly.

When your status suddenly rises, you tend to want to indulge in extravagance and show off. That's just how people are.

But Lilly was doing only the minimum required of her. All to keep Carl's reputation intact.

Lilly's only extravagance is to wear neat clothes so as not to be pointed at.

She only wears the jewelry that Carl gave her, doesn't wear makeup, and doesn't order around other people. She even doesn't drink alcohol, eats frugally, and politely declines social activities such as parties and tea times, saying that she is not qualified to participate as a mere nanny.

There was no room for discussion about refusing the invitation.

Lilly even showed herself to be a devout believer by spending a lot of time praying to Duren.

There, not only Nero but also Aric treats Lilly like Carl's mother, so they don't even dare to say anything about Lilly.

Even if you try to find fault with it, there is not a single thing to find.

Lilly was moving cautiously, as if crawling on thin ice, so as not to get in Carl's way.

"It was so sudden that I didn't have time to prepare a gift… … ."

"The best gift you can give is to show you how well you have grown, Master Carl."

Harmon politely advises Carl in his regretful voice.

If he try to get a gift now, it will only delay time.

Harmon knew very well how carefully Carl chose Lilly's gifts...I know it so damn well.

Who would be the one to bring a gift for the busy Carl?

"Is that so? I guess so? Well, she cried and was happy that I grew a little taller."

Carl speaks happily, then rubs his chin with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

'What the hell!'

The moment he saw those eyes, Harmon shut his eyes tightly. I can understand what's going to happen next without even hearing it.

"But still, I want to give her something as a gift..."

Now Carl going back to Himmeln and he going to keep doing this until hesee Lilly.

Harmon shuddered at the horror.

Carl is usually so ruthless and cold-hearted that you wonder if he's even human, but when it comes to Lilly, he acts like a child, which is a pain in the ass.

While others felt a sense of kinship with Carl, whom they had previously felt distant from, due to his occasional display of humanity, Harmon, who had to get gifts for Carl, seemed to be going crazy.

It's been a whole year.

Carl really wanted to see Lilly.

Wouldn't she be surprised to see him grown up?

'But I think it would be difficult if she cried like she used to…'

Carl smiled pleasantly as he thought of Lilly.

A horrific smell vibrates as a rotting corpse burns, and the cold winter wind blows hotly.

Spring has arrived.

Carl is finally going back...
