My Lover's Personality is a Little Strange

"It's inside."

Katarina said, pointing to the deepest part of the mansion's courtyard.

A large, old tree with a black bark was showing off its bizarre figure.

Seeing this, Theodore's brow furrowed.

"Blessings on such a bizarre thing?"

"Yes, it has been a divine tree that has blessed Ferdinand since a long time ago."

However, no matter how he looked at it, the appearance of the old tree was more atrocious than a blessing, but a curse more appropriate.

'Maybe, that's...... ..?'

Suddenly, Theodore felt a small energy springing up in his heart.

That bizarre thing in Ferdinand's courtyard may be a trace of ancient darkness. As soon as he felt that energy, Theodore took a step towards it.

"Careful, Your Majesty!"

But at that moment, his body was thrown away by the strong ban.

"Sh*t."

Theodore stretched out his hand, chewing on a swear word.

A golden glow emanating from his fingertips collided with the black barrier.

"...!"

Katarina looked at the scene in amazement.

'Emperor Theodore could use Divine Power.'

It was a divine power that was strong enough to withstand the barrier passed down from Ferdinand's ancestors.

Two forces collided in the air and swirled.

"Hey, stop it! Benjamin will find out!"

"I don't care."

Theodore ignored Katarina's cry and poured out his energy.

There was nothing more important.

He had no intention of resorting to a peaceful method.

Even aside from the fact that he wasn't a pacifist in the first place.

However, the energy quickly bounced back and struck Theodore's body.

"Ugh!"

Theodore, carelessly wiping the blood running down his lips with the back of his hand, glared at the old tree.

Then he stretched out his hands towards it again.

"You're going to die like this!"

Katarina's scream was heard this time.

Theodore looked back at his body at that moment.

His fingertips were cracked and his skin was flaky.

He couldn't break this barrier just by pouring his divine power.

"In the end, should I meet the head of Ferdinand and negotiate?"

Theodore had to turn around with no income.

And when Theodore returned to the Imperial Palace, Yves's body disappeared.

"Yves? Yves, where did you go?"

The Imperial Palace was turned upside down.

Theodore ran endlessly in search of the missing Yves and turned over the entire palace.

"Yves, where the hell are you......"

But Yves was nowhere to be seen.

"Yves left me."
