The Main Character is the Villain

Hero AA completed her investigation mission and returned to Ahildern. The people cheered at the return of the Hero. On her way back, AA submitted a report stating that Peta Lusius's mission to exterminate the Four Heavenly Kings had been successfully completed.

For her, the dazzling success achieved by her companion Peta Lusius was very fulfilling, but at the same time, she was bothered by his expanding position. In the past, AA hadn't cared the slightest bit about politics or influence within the kingdom, but looking at Lusius made a part of her chest anxious and her heart beat loudly. This was not solely a matter of sexual desire.

Thinking of Lusius made her lower body heat up, but at the same time, she was anxious that she might completely lose Erina. Her body wanted Lusius, but Erina still occupied a part of her mind. Body or mind. Lord Alu of the western coast had advised AA to 'try doing it once.'

"...Erina is the one at fault, but."

"Pardon? What did you say, Sir Hero?"

"No. It's nothing."

However, when she actually thought about having an affair with Lusius, the reality was that she was rationally reluctant. If asked whether she hated Erina, she didn't hate her that much. If asked whether she loved Erina, she still loved her. Having sex with a man as revenge against Erina—even while her body was aroused, AA absolutely could not consent to such logic.

Wasn't it just an insane idea to neglect her wife out of madness for sexual desire? Nothing could be resolved with such a wrong method. Only an unpleasant future awaited where Erina became Lusius's, and AA herself also became Lusius's. AA thought about the future to calm her boiling sexual desire. Being pregnant with Lusius's child, being dragged to his bed and fucked like a dog, him ejaculating inside...

"Haa..."

"Mr. Coachman. I am a hero. Right?"

"Pardon? Yes. You are a hero."

"I am a reliable hero no matter who looks. Right?"

"Yes. That is correct. You are a reliable hero."

Hearing the coachman say that seemed to bring her a little comfort. The Hero gained courage, picked up the mirror in the carriage, and looked at her face. A beautiful short-haired handsome boy was beyond the mirror. People's opinions could vary, so AA decided to think of her appearance as a handsome boy. She confidently smiled, tucked her hair behind her ears, and adjusted her appearance.

Stepping down from the carriage, AA received the cheers of the people. After answering every greeting and even giving handshakes, the coachman was waiting with her luggage taken out of the carriage. AA asked while taking the box from the coachman.

"Did you wait long?"

"No. Assisting the Hero is always a joyful task."

"I really like traveling with you too, Mr. Coachman."

Startled by her gentle tone, the coachman flinched and cleared his throat. AA, who had supported the coachman with an affectionate voice, smiled and spoke to him before going up to the upper floor of the kingdom.

"Have a good day today as well."

"...Yes. Sir Hero."

Inside the box was a present for Erina. It was a popular item from the coastal city, an ornament decorated with seashells to look like a jewelry box. The last time she went to the coastal city, she hadn't been in the right state of mind since she was almost raped by Eve, but this time she had enough leisure to get a souvenir.

The Hero left the box in the room and adjusted her attire. Meeting Salina and reporting the related matters was her priority. The Queen was waiting in the audience chamber, having heard the news of AA's arrival. As AA opened the door and entered, the royal guard shouted loudly.

"Hero AA is entering!"

"Welcome, AA."

"Queen. Have you been well?"

"How did the investigation into the whereabouts of Lua of the Four Heavenly Kings, requested by Lord Peta Lusius, go?"

Lord? AA wondered if Salina had originally attached 'Lord' to Lusius, but she couldn't remember. She used to avoid mentioning Lusius's name as if calling it would bring down a curse. Ever since finding out that the biological father of Erina's child was Lusius, Salina would grimace as if someone had spit on the audience chamber floor just hearing Peta Lusius's name.

"Yes. I finished it safely. I confirmed that the corpse remained in the tomb of Lua of the Four Heavenly Kings, and I investigated the entire nearby mountainous area to confirm that all traces of Lamia had disappeared. According to my investigation opinion, Lua of the Four Heavenly Kings definitively died at the hands of Peta Lusius."

"As expected of our Lord Lusius."

"Um... Lady Salina?"

"What is it?"

Seeing AA's puzzled expression, Salina tilted her head instead. AA was curious about what kind of change in state of mind Salina had gone through to even attach 'Lord' when calling Lusius.

"Why are you attaching 'Lord' to Priest Peta Lusius..."

"Because I want to. Is there a need to explain further?"

"Yes, understood."

Surprised by the unexpectedly sharp response, AA smacked her lips and nodded her head. But she couldn't help being bothered by it. She decided to ask Erina what had happened. After finishing a rough report on the recent situation to Salina, AA left the audience chamber. The royal guard shouted loudly once again.

"Hero AA! Is leaving!"

"You always work hard."

Even at AA's words, the royal guard kept his face stiff and stared at the front. AA smiled at him and went to find Erina. Erina spent a lot of time in the nursery. AA took the box out of her room and knocked on the nursery door.

But there was no answer. AA carefully opened the door while holding the box in one hand. Erina had laid the baby on the bed and was sleeping soundly. AA softly approached and caressed Erina's face. Feeling AA's touch, Erina turned her body to the side.

"Mmm..."

AA laughed because the sight was so cute. She stroked the back of Erina's head and poked her cheek. Erina must not have woken up yet, as she shook her head back and forth and frowned. Pushing her buttocks out a little more toward AA, she muttered in a small voice.

"Erina. I'm here. Wake up."

AA thought she looked like a baby. She woke Erina up, whispering in a small voice. Erina trembled her shoulders as if slightly startled by the words, then pushed away AA's finger that was poking her cheek and spoke.

"Mmm, Lusius..."

At those words, AA's smiling face completely froze. Her breath caught as if lightning had struck her heart. Her head spun and her chest felt tight. Unaware of AA's feelings, Erina continued her cruel sleep-talking.

"No... Today is the day... AA is coming... Mmm..."

AA dropped the box she was holding and left the room without a word. Her mind was too complicated. Overwhelmed by a profound emotion she felt for the first time in her life, she couldn't utter a word. AA struggled to steady her increasingly rapid breathing.

She returned to the married couple's bedroom and slumped onto the bed. Erina's sleep-talking kept popping into her mind.

[Eueung, Lusius... No. Today is the day AA is coming...]

It sounded as if she had been having sex non-stop right up until she arrived. AA knew that it was physically impossible for Lusius to do so. To enter the Ahildern Kingdom, one had to cross through the Ahildern downtown area, and if a celebrity like Lusius entered the kingdom like that, rumors were bound to spread.

"Erina..."

AA felt tears welling up. She tried hard to hold them back. But there was no method to stop the tears from pouring out. Her face was clearly visible in the mirror in the room. A heartbroken woman was crying. She thought her face didn't look like a hero's.

On the dresser next to the bed sat a picture depicting Erina and AA's wedding ceremony. AA held the picture and began to sniffle.

"Erina... please..."

Paradoxically, the assumption that Lusius couldn't possibly be there also meant that Erina was so deeply infatuated with him that she saw Lusius even in her dreams. It broke AA's heart to see Erina like that. As much as she was angry, she felt pity and deep sorrow.

"Heuheuk... Erina... please..."

In the wedding ceremony photograph, Erina was wearing a wedding dress. AA was wearing a tuxedo and smiling awkwardly. At this time, the two believed they could be happy forever. But they couldn't. Caressing Erina's face in the picture, AA whispered.

"Please... I want to keep loving you. Erina... Let me love you..."

****

"AA. You returned, so why didn't you come find... AA? Why do you have so little energy? Are you sick somewhere?"

When Erina opened the room door and came in, AA was slumped on the bed with a somewhat drained face. AA blankly stared at Erina. She smiled weakly and spoke.

"It's nothing. I'm okay."

"You don't look okay, do you? Wait right here, I'll get a doctor..."

AA grabbed Erina's wrist. Erina looked at AA with a flustered expression. Putting on a sorrowful expression, AA spoke.

"Erina. Just stay by my side for a moment. Just. Just stay beside me."

"L-Like this?"

Erina carefully came over and sat next to AA. AA laid down on Erina's thighs as if collapsing. Stroking AA's head, Erina spoke.

"You must have been tired."

"A little."

"You shouldn't suffer. Because you are my husband."

"Erina."

"What is it?"

"You love me, right?"

"Of course. AA. I. Love you."

"Me too."

AA stroked Erina's thigh. Seeing that Erina's knees were scraped red, she muttered again.

"I love you too."
