My Obsessive Villain

Chapter 51

Yulia's POV:

The moment I saw him, my whole body hardened.

His face, which was clean yesterday, was stained with blood.

My body trembled due to fear.

Perhaps that blood was not caused by an injury, but it was the blood of someone he killed.

“Yulia!” 

It was my brother’s voice that woke me up from my stupor. 

He put down his hood and threw his robe away. 

The brilliant silver hair, a symbol of the imperial family, shone under the moonlight.

Then he took out a sword he had been hiding. 

However, the fact that my brother appeared and pulled out a sword meant that he was prepared for death. 

“Brother!”

 “Hurry!” 

He let go of my hand. The warmth felt in my hand disappeared. 

“But, but…”

“I’ll buy some time. Run away and never look back.” 

The sword my brother was holding was shining.

As he was about to swing it, he said,

“Yulia. Make sure you survive. I’m sorry… this is the only thing our father and I can do for you.”

After a while, my brother’s words started to sink in and I ran as hard as I could.

 Behind me, I heard the clashing sound of the swords. 

After a while, the sound died down but I couldn’t turn around.

I just looked ahead and ran. 

As soon as I looked back, I was sure I couldn’t move a step.

Even if my legs faltered, my body staggered, my lungs felt like it was torn, I kept on running. I shouldn’t cry, but the liquid flowed down and wet my cheek.

The liquid was mixed with the snow and rain that fell on me.

The tears wetting my cheeks slowly froze at the icy temperature.

Right now, I’m heading to the only place that can get me out of this castle.

Only a few people know of its existence.

Therefore, it was the last hope for me to survive.

 “…Haa, brother…I’m sorry.” 

I’m afraid that I can’t keep my promise to survive.

When I escaped from the castle, I saw knights wearing unfamiliar uniforms, not the imperial uniform, as if they had already expected. 

How can I get out of their grasp with this weak body that can’t even use sword? 

Brother, dad, I’m so sorry. 

I wanted to survive too, I’m sorry I couldn’t make that wish come true. 

Naturally, I was dragged somewhere with both arms held by the knights. 

They handled me roughly.

It didn’t feel like they were taking a sinner, but it felt like I was a livestock being taken to a slaughterhouse.

I didn’t have much energy to shout, so I was helplessly dragged by them.

I was taken back to the castle.

I thought I would be taken to my room, but they dragged me as we went up the stairs. 

I arrived on the top floor. 

The knights let go of my arm as if their work was over.

Then my weak body sank on the floor. 

This was the scene of a massacre. 

“Princess.”

It was a voice that I wanted to hear every day until this morning.

I thought I would not get tired of listening to it every day. But now it was the voice I didn’t want to hear the most.

As I looked outside through the window, he slowly approached me. 

As our distance narrowed, the thick smell of blood penetrated my nose. 

I adjusted my head and saw my brilliant silver hair with blood. I didn’t have the courage to properly check my condition.

“Why?” 

There was nothing wrong yesterday. 

Tears poured out of my eyes. 

Because I was inside and it wasn’t cold, my tears fell to the floor.

I looked up at him.

It was blurry because my eyes were filled with tears.

“Chester!” 

His black hair was full of dried blood. 

His white skin was splashed with blood. 

How many people died in his hands? 

Is my nanny okay?

I just wanted my nanny to be safe. 

At that moment, someone familiar was also dragged in.

“Your Highness.” 

It was none other than my nanny who was caught by the knights. She was even covered in blood, and her eyes were not properly opened.

“Nanny!” 

Why couldn’t you run away? My nanny could live if she ran away. 

But why did you get caught? 

He pulled out a sword and moved slowly. 

Is it really my fate to die? 

I closed my eyes in fear. 

But unexpectedly, he passed by me. 

“Oh, no, no!” 

I know where that blade would go. 

So I moved my legs that were not in a good condition urgently. 

I reached out and grabbed his cape. 

However, it was an action that had no effect. 

He looked at me with an emotionless eye and hit my hand that grabbed the cape. 

My body sank down. 

His sword cut the nanny’s neck. 

I could only stare at the terrible sight and shake as I could only wait for my death.

 “Ugh…!”

I felt nauseous and my hands were shaking. 

I’m just a helpless and vain princess without the power to reverse this situation, but I badly want to survive. 

The red blood flowing from his sword fell over the cold marble floor.

Maybe I will die right now. Maybe I’m indeed destined to die.

At least, I wanted to know why he did this before I died. 

Why does he killed everyone precious to me?

“Why? Why did you rebel?” 

Everyone around me died. That’s also in the hands of the man I love.
