Chapter 361. Madness gives way to greater madness

– What the fuck?

Why did she say his name?

Kang Woo’s gaze wavered. He immediately raised his head and looked at Iris. She also looked at him and smiled broadly. Madness was read in her eyes and it seemed that she was the happiest in the world.

– Hey, what…

Pain shot in the back of his head, and thoughts were confused.

“Why?” – a question appeared in my head.

It didn’t take much time to find the answer. The reason is simple. He hadn’t noticed before, but the reason was pretty damn simple.

“Iris…”

Since when did she start looking not at Si Hoon, but at him? How could he not notice such an obvious change?

Kang Woo clenched his fists. By nature, he was sensitive to feelings. He knew them perfectly and managed with them. After all, he is a demon. For ten thousand years he lived, suppressing his desires.

But he knew no other feelings besides friendly ones. Didn’t feel them, haven’t experienced anything like that for too long. His whole life was reduced to endless battles and survival. He automatically discarded all the feelings that did not help him come to victory. If he is not told directly, he will not understand. So he missed this moment. So I made a mistake.

“Damn, I thought it got better.”

Having met Han Seol, he learned a lot, but, as it turned out, this was not enough. Whispers were heard around.

– “Oh Kang Woo”?

– Who is this?

– Wasn’t Kim Si Hoon saving the state?

The people who had just exclaimed happily were now looking at each other, puzzled. Of course. On Earth, the name Kang Woo nevertheless became known to some extent, but here only a few people knew about him. And all because he deliberately tried to hide his name.

“This is dangerous.”

Kang Woo looked at the whispering people and bit his lip.

“Just worse nowhere.”

He tried not to divulge his name because he was trying to turn his full attention to Si Hoon so that High Elf would be interested in him. If the focus now shifts to Kang Woo, then so will the High Elf’s attention. And in the worst case scenario, the fact that he is actually the demon from the prophecy may be revealed.

“No, Gaia is on my side, things can’t be that bad.”

He became the Protector of the Light, and Gaia accepted him into her family and rewarded him with Holiness.

High Elf will not be able to reveal his essence so easily.

“But damn…”

He was shocked at how suddenly his plan went at the seams. The thoughts in his head were spinning at great speed. He urgently needs to find a way out of the situation.

– Kang Woo… – Iris with tears in her eyes went to the guy. – Give me a ring too.

She smiled and looked at the guy with greedy eyes.

Kang Woo closed his eyes.

[Power of Submission]

He connected his mind with Si Hoon, who was standing nearby. He stood dumbfounded, not understanding what was happening, since everything did not go according to plan.

“Si Hong”, – he gave a signal.

– Ka… Kang Woo? – said the guy.

“You don’t have to speak aloud.”

“How did it happen? As planned… “” Iris did what she wanted.”

“In that case…”

He continued to stare blankly at Kang Woo.

“Just do as I tell you.”

Si Hoon was about to reply, but pursed his lips and nodded. Kang Woo continued to say what to do.

Si Hoon grabbed Iris by the arm, preventing Kang Woo from approaching.

– Iris, did I hear right?

– Huh?. – from the sudden touch of Si Hoon, Iris trembled, and then looked up at him, dumbfounded.

– This name… you should only call him when we are alone.

Si Hoon smiled awkwardly and stroked the girl’s cheek. He took her hand and turned to the magic ball.

– Gentlemen, as you all know, I’m not with RNO, – indifferent he said. – In my homeland, a child is given two names.

Kang Woo started talking nonsense through Si Hoon.

“Nothing can be done.”

Since the situation was valid unexpected, the speech sounded a little strange.

“But still,” Kang Woo’s gaze flashed.

People see what they want to see, hear what they want to hear. They also believe in what they want to believe.

“And people want to see Si Hoon next to Iris.”

So everything will work out. It may sound a little silly and ridiculous, but they will believe. Kang Woo was sure of this.

– One name is given by the father, one by the mother. Iris’s name was given to me by my mother.

– Oooh! – I heard from the square.

It was more like not an exclamation of understanding, but something like: “Really? And this exists, wow! So Iris will still be with Si Hoon, right?”

The guy smiled.

– Yes, Princess Iris and I wanted to announce our engagement.

– Hurray!

– Yes!

The sudden misunderstanding was again replaced by joyful exclamations.

– N-no, I …

Iris twisted and wanted to say something, but at that moment Kang Woo appeared.

– Iris, come here.

– Kang Woo?

He tried to take her by the wrist as imperceptibly as possible. While Si Hoon was distracting the public’s attention, Kang Woo dealt with the girl. He frowned and asked menacingly: – What are you doing?

– Oh, well… – she immediately lowered her head.

Iris pulled herself together and began to justify her actions.

– You said that I have to marry a hero to give the people hope. You are also a hero, but nobody knows about you, so I decided to name you…

Apparently, she didn’t like that Kang Woo does so much for the country, but no one talks about him. But there was still no emotion on the guy’s face.

– Who let you do everything on your own?

– P-sorry… – the girl answered sluggishly.

Kang Woo looked down at the people who were waiting for Iris to return to the stage.

– We’ll talk later. Go back and finish your speech.

– Okay… – she nodded sadly.

Fortunately, everything ended well and the girl didn’t throw anything else out. People continued to shout out the names of Iris and Si Hoon, and they walked off the stage, showing their best relationship. Kang Woo, who had watched everything until the very end, entered the room. He collapsed onto the bed and sighed heavily.

“This is also my fault. I did not foresee this in advance.”

He even felt guilty before Iris.

“I’ll have to talk to her seriously.”

Due to her shaky Kang Woo’s mental state all the time tried to behave softer, but this cannot be postponed any longer, otherwise history may repeat itself again. Kang Woo wearily put his hand on his forehead.

– Why did this happen?.

Even if he found out about her feelings, nothing really would have changed. He was already with Han Sol, and he had no thoughts to let go of his hands.

– What? Han Seol?.

He hasn’t seen her since mid-speech. The guy turned pale, and his face turned to stone.

– Stop…

He immediately got up and ran to Iris’s room.

– Your mother…

When he flung open the doors, a completely empty room opened in front of him without any trace of Iris.

***

Sitting on a chair in a gloomy, dark room, a blonde girl slowly opened her eyelids.

– Mm?

Iris opened her eyes, but did not understand what situation she was in.

– Where am I?.

She tried to get up from the chair, but the chains that bound her rang loudly and prevented her from doing so. Only now did she realize that she was chained to a chair.

– What’s this? – shivers ran down her spine, followed by horror.

She tried to remember what happened.

“The speech ended… I broke up with Si Hoon, and then…”

This ended her memories. Iris shivered. No matter what she did, she couldn’t get out of the chains.

– Who are you?.

The door opened and Iris turned towards the sound. There she saw…

– Han Sol?

A girl looked at her with an icy look. Han Seol slowly approached Iris.

– You did something very interesting this time.

– A …

– What am I, it’s unclear then

Han Seol grabbed the girl by the hair.

– I told you to sit still.

– A-ah! ..

Iris bared her teeth. She leaned over to Han Seol and shouted, “Shut up! I’m much better suited to Kahn than are you!

There was injustice in her voice. She remembered all the moments with Kang Woo. The feelings she went through while cutting Fidelio and how it helped her gain a sense of confidence. Surely he also had feelings for her.

– Now… I don’t agree with anyone… except Kang Woo, – Iris said staring at Han Sol with madness.

He saved her. No, he made it so that she could get up on her own. I made it so that she could get out of her brother’s shadow and start living her life.

Silence fell. Han Seol grabbed her stomach and bent down.

– Pha ha ha! She tried to suppress her laughter, but nothing came of it. – Think Kang Woo loves you more? Her lips parted in a grin. “That’s nonsense, Iris. How can you say that while looking at it? – Han Seol shook her hand with a ring in front of her.

The girl’s face immediately changed. Han Seol slowly walked over to her and, raising her hand, stroked her cheek.

– Actually, I was fine with Lilith, Echidna and even Yong Joo. I could bear them.

Iris didn’t understand what she was talking about.

– Notes… – the shine disappeared from Han Sol’s eyes.

Lost focus gaze was directed at Iris.

– I won’t let someone like you be with Kang Woo.

– Oh you! .. Why are you doing this to me?! Iris screamed with a twist.

Han Seol again ran her hand over her cheek and began to lower her hand.

– Why?

Her fingers slid from her cheek to chin.

– You.

From chin to throat.

– Don’t you like Kang Woo?

From throat to heart

– What? Iris turned to stone.

She stared at Han Sol with a stupid, incomprehensible look.

– What are you talking about?! She shouted.

Han Seol laughed.

– Don’t you understand? I should know better than anyone.

– Do you love Kang Woo? Han Seol shook her head. “No, you don’t love him.

The girl spoke confidently, looking straight into Iris’s eyes.

– You just use it.

– What?.

– I don’t know why, but you just need someone to lean on.

Iris spent her whole life under someone’s care. First brother, then Si Hoon, and then…

– You just chose Kang Woo to be your deceased brother.

– No… no! – She shouted confusedly.

Kang Woo took the place of his brother? No, he was the one who helped her to stand firmly on her feet. She no longer wanted to live in someone’s shadow. I just couldn’t afford it.

– No? Han Seol laughed again. – Is that true?

Iris didn’t answer.

– Do you really think so?

Silence reigned again. Iris turned pale and trembled.

– No… I love him.

She didn’t want to hide behind his back.

– What do you even know to say that?! “Iris continued to scream.

Her voice was colored with insanity, and the anger in her gaze was directed at Han Sol. She licked her lips and bent down, looking directly into the eyes of the bound Iris.

– It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter even if I’m wrong. Even if you really love Kang Woo, more than you… – she stretched out her hand and powerful energy appeared from her body.

– Ah! – Iris turned pale.

A broad smile never left Han Sol’s face, and white wings spread behind him.

Madness. Now she was much crazier than Iris.

– You can’t love Kang Woo anymore.
