When the Male Lead is Obsessed with the Youngest Daughter of the Villain Family

I pondered for a moment and raised my hand. Then the people of Cartina, who had been gathered around Rodrigo, all turned to look at me. The noisy barracks was enveloped in silence. It was quiet enough to hear the footsteps of ants passing by. Kaylan was the one who broke the silence as he walked quickly and grabbed my forearms.

“Estiya, what?”

He asked as if he couldn’t believe what he had heard.

“I said that I wanted to add even a small amount of power to the power of the Empire.”

“Estiya! Your heart is more noble and precious than that of a hero who really saved the Empire! The battlefield is no place for you.”

Ether and Eyla, standing behind Kaylan, nodded their heads. Suddenly, I was surrounded by Cartinas.

“But everyone sacrificed their lives for the country…”

“Estiya, the battlefield…”

The persuasion of the Cartinas was absurd. The description of the battlefield was a fantasy like the Lord of the Rings.

“There are a lot of headless knights.”

“The horses from the tomb carry the knights.”

“Some people have swords in their arms.”

It’s a spectacle, it’s a spectacle

Gunther and Devlan looked at each other and smiled absurdly.

Ah… I’m a little embarrassed

Even Rodrigo put his forehead in his hands with an absurd smile on his face.

“I want to win this war!”

I clasped my hands tightly and showed my will.

“Estiya, why are you doing this?”

At Kaylan’s eyes of incomprehension, I gave strength in my voice and insisted strongly.

“We have been loyal to the imperial family from generation to generation. I always stood in front when the country was in crisis!”

No, I’d be right to say that I did the back work while standing in the back.

“I want to be a proud Cartina.”

With tears in my eyes, I alternately looked at Hela and Stefan. Do not expect logical explanations or plausibility of my changes. My existence in Cartina was not a quality that could be judged by reason.

“Estiya, how… You have a very good heart.”

Hela hugged me in her arms.

“Mom didn’t even know that, and I only thought that you were driven out of the house by Rodrigo.”

It’s true that it’s for Rodrigo, but I kept my mouth shut because I thought it would be better to leave Hela misunderstood.

“We would rather go.”

Ether and Eyla placed their hands on either side of my shoulder.

“Really, sister?”

As I turned my head away from Hela’s arms, I saw Ether with a serious expression.

“I can’t send you to a rough place, Estiya. That would be the case with Lord Rodrigo.”

When Ether saw Rodrigo, Rodrigo nodded coldly.

“However…”

“All we have to do is win the war, right? We’re good enough.”

“I’ll have to go out to get back soon.”

Stefan cracked his knuckles. I smiled inwardly. Done! I wish I could have led hundreds of troops, but these people are one hundred per person. I prided myself.

“Sisters, brother, dad and mom, you’re all really cool.”

At my words, the expressions of the Cartinas melted like ice cream on a summer day.

So the next day, everyone went out. After doing my best to even the acting that I was going to follow, I sat down on a chair in the barracks with a weary mind.

Jane came. A faint shadow fell over my head. I looked at Jane with my chin on the table and my eyes only.

“I got in a lot of trouble!”

Jane puffed up her cheeks. I belatedly remembered that Jane was called by Stefan and Hela last night.

“Sorry.”

I thought about siding with her, but I stayed in the barracks. Then I fell asleep and couldn’t even comfort Jane who came in and scolded me.

When I woke up, I was busy seeing off those who went to war.

It took quite a while because everyone wanted to hold my hand, hug me, and make eye contact. I apologized neatly, unlike a noble.

“Give me a bonus.”

“Yes, of course.”

“Please send home a package each month of vegetables from Sir Rodrigo’s greenhouse.”

Oh, my. You got scolded once and you’re making a fuss.

“Okay.”

“One more.”

“There’s more?”

I raised myself with my eyes wide open.

“Why? Do you think I’m overdoing it?”

I thought so, but shook my head.

“No, I know you are sacrificing for me.”

I know that thanks to me, she was taking care of her many family members. Jane pulled out a chair and sat down in front of me.

“I mean Mr. Gunther.”

“What?”

“Tell me about Gunther.”

Jane’s eyelashes quivered every time Gunter’s name came to mind.

Oh ho.

I narrowed my eyes and looked at Jane. Jane turned her head away from my gaze. Is spring finally coming to Jane?

“Jane, don’t worry.”

I vowed to make sure that Jane’s love would come true. Although my love cannot be greedy to save humanity and the planet.

“I’m worried because you told me not to worry.”

“So, shouldn’t you believe me?”

Inside the quiet barracks, Jane and I drew the battlefield, thinking of different people. Rodrigo is the main character, so he’ll never die, but he’ll get hurt, so I was worried.

“Estiya!”

As the sun went down, those who had gone to war returned. The wars of this era have a part in line with the providence of nature. They sometimes make surprise attacks at night, but that’s only done in very small battles, and in such large-scale battles across the border, they kept the time fairly accurate.

It was a form of getting up in the morning, declaring war, and gathering at a certain point to fight. The point moves slightly toward the opposing side depending on whether you win or lose the previous day. If the power is superior, you can push into the base of the opposing camp in one day, but when the tension is like this, it goes back and forth like a game of ‘Why did you come to my territory’ for several months, and then it ends.

But today was a big win.

“You know how I was today? It was because I was there, the general’s neck was passed around.”

Kaylan said excitedly. Next, it was Ether’s turn.

“You know, Estiya. As I swung my whip towards the horse, dozens of soldiers fell to the ground…”

“Shut up. you’re bluffing.”

It was Eyla’s turn.

“I released some poison and they passed out right away. I’ve used them as stepping stones to cut down the head of the enemy general. Do you want to see it, Estiya?”

“No, it’s okay, sister.”

I could picture the scenes as if it was drawn right before me of the rule-breaking Cartinas.

For a moment, I mourned those who might have died at their hands. Then I saw that Rodrigo was nowhere to be seen.

“My daughter!”

Just as I was trying to find Rodrigo, Stefan and Hela arrived. I ran towards them and hugged them. They hugged me as if to crush me.

“Was it scary?”

“This place is safe, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Are there any injuries?”

I glanced over the bodies of Stefan and Hela. Kaylan, Ether, and Eyla couldn’t escape my hawk eyes. Everyone was fine. Unlike the young Cartinas, Hela and Stefan did not boast of their achievements. However, seeing the pride in their faces, I could tell that they did a great job and that they wanted to tell me that. But I wanted to make sure that Rodrigo was safe first.

“Hold on, Mom.”

I gently pushed Hela’s hand away, which was holding my hand. Hela’s eyes narrowed. She noticed that I was looking for Rodrigo and gently grabbed me by the waist and dragged me.

“They are recovering wounded soldiers.”

I rolled my eyes. Hela smiled and released her hand from my waist.

“I killed more!”

“No, you killed only a hundred people.”

“A hundred? I have counted to one hundred and fifty.”

Kaylan, Ether, and Eyla begin to fight over who had cut down more enemies.

“Don’t talk here, go inside.”

While Stefan intervened between them, I quickly walked towards the wounded barracks.

Unlike the atmosphere on the barracks side with ordinary soldiers, this place was very gloomy. Even the colors are different. The barracks of ordinary soldiers are now in a festive mood. This was because we achieved the greatest victory since the war with the Veloki Peninsula. But there were screams filled with groaning and pain.

‘This is war.’

“Miss Estiya, it’s better not to come here.”

Gunther stopped me, dripping with blood. Since Jane had spoken, I first checked to see if Gunter was injured. Fortunately, he was not.

Suddenly, I felt uncomfortable about whether I could use the word ‘fortunately’ or whether I should be relieved. I felt pathetic to myself, reassured that people I knew were safe in this place with a legless soldier lying on the floor, a soldier with blood dripping from his forehead, and a soldier who had just died.

“Go back now. It’s not a place you can see.”

Gunther urged in a blunt voice. Perhaps he misunderstood my hardened expression. Read only at pm tl.

“No. I want to meet Rodrigo.”

“The general is busy.”

As I tried to move forward, Gunther stopped me. I raised one eyebrow. Gunther wasn’t like that. He was a person who tried to avoid bumping into me as much as possible. It was strange that he was talking to me for quite some time and he even stopped me like that. As I thought about it, something came to my mind.

“Rodrigo ordered it?”

He flinched, his large muscles twitched.

“I know what you’re worried about, so get out of the way.”

I stretched out my arm towards Gunther as he jumped aside in amazement. No matter how many orders he received from Rodrigo, he wouldn’t be able to tamper with my body, so I went to see Rodrigo with a cool breeze.

It didn’t take long to find where he was.

I saw Devlan walking into the barracks carrying a bucket of hot water. He was always with Rodrigo unless something special happened, so I followed him.

“Now, now, General… My family… My sister…”

I stopped walking when I heard the sound coming out of the barrack.

“Bono, you have to take care of your family. Calm down, Bono.”

I know why he was talking so harshly. He was reminding the soldier who was terrified of death a reason to live.

“It hurts so much. It hurts so much…”

A voice mixed with the sobbing was painful. Even my heart hurted and I wanted to cover my ears, but what about Rodrigo as the commander of the soldiers?

“Bono, what do you want to do first when you return?”

“My younger sister… My sister is getting married soon. To hold her hands at the wedding…”

As he gradually lost consciousness, his voice became quieter.

“Yes, Bono. Go back and hold your sister’s hand. Did you say your sister is getting married soon? So, Bono, just a little more… Bono!”

His voice, which had been quiet, suddenly rose. I had a gut feeling. Bono just died. I don’t know who he was, but at least I know he was not the kind of person who would die without thinking of his family. I bowed my head and mourned his death.

“He’s dead, sir.”

Devlan’s declaration continued. There was a rustling sound. Then Rodrigo came out of the barracks. When he appeared with a very tired face, he looked a little surprised to see me.

“Ah… I’m here to see you, are you okay?”

“As you can see.”

With a forced smile, he raised his arms. He looked fine, but he wasn’t. His body was intact, but his mind seemed to have been mutilated with dozens of knives. At times like this, I don’t know what kind of comfort to give.

“Shall we take a walk?”

All I could do was to get him out of the wounded barracks for a little while.

“Alright.”

Rodrigo stood next to me.
