Otome Shuraba: The villain heartthrob refuses to flirt

As if thinking of bad memories, Mark's eyes dimmed a little.

"If the second dream is like being in heaven, then the third dream is like being in an abyss of hell.

“I have been unsettled since Sean Mabel forcibly removed you.

"There are problems with the control of magic power and the mining of the heart of the earth.

"Then the magic mine suddenly collapsed and I was buried inside, on the verge of death.

“When I opened my eyes again, the people guarding me were my father and His Majesty the Emperor’s exclusive medical officer.

"My father told me that I was rescued by someone sent by His Majesty the Emperor.

“I asked my father if you had ever visited me.

"Father said, you have been here, but you did not enter the ward.

"Because you learned from the medical officer that all my bones were smashed and I would become a cripple, so you turned around and left.

"From then on, you were addicted to having fun with Sean Mabel and never cared about me again."

Mark raised his eyes and glanced at Erin secretly.

Of course Erin knew that Mark very much hoped that he would retort "I care about you" at this time.

But she didn't say that, but nodded her chin slightly,

"and then?"

With his hopes dashed, Mark sighed slightly in his heart and replied:

“Then I felt that since I can’t stand by your side and be of use to you in this life, I might as well die.

"I committed suicide several times, but I never succeeded. I was saved by His Majesty the Emperor's exclusive medical officer.

“After he was saved from committing suicide for the last time, my father finally couldn’t bear it anymore.

"He told me that His Majesty the Emperor actually gave me the holy water to drink before.

“Just drinking it for a month will heal my body.

"But if you ask for holy water from His Majesty the Emperor, you must obey the Emperor in this life.

"I don't want to, I just want to be loyal to you, but the dedicated medical officer on the side also persuaded me for a long time.

"He said that he, like me, was dying for the woman he loved, and it was His Majesty the Emperor who gave him a second life.

"After he became loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, he not only recovered physically, but also achieved success in his career.

"In the end, the woman he loved deeply returned to his arms because of her own strength."

Erin shook the red wine glass in her hand and asked:

"So, in the dream, you finally surrendered to the emperor?"

Mark nodded slightly and replied in a low voice: "Because the medical officer said to me——

"In life, there is still a glimmer of hope, but in death, I will never have the chance to stand by your side again in this life.

“Because of this sentence, I compromised, but I was really broken.

"In the pain of physical and mental pain, I lost you. This is my third dream."

His head hung heavily.

The pain on Mark's face was like being trapped in a desperate dream, lonely and sad.

Aileen stared at him without saying any words of comfort.

She just took the wine glass, poured it in, handed it to Mark, and analyzed lightly:

“The first dream is the opening, the second dream is joy, and the third dream is pain.

"If I'm not wrong, your fourth dream should be a new life."

"........."

Mark took the wine glass and nodded blankly.

"His Majesty the Emperor's holy water is particularly powerful. At the beginning of the fourth dream, my body was mostly healed.

"Not many days later, you and Sean will come to the Earl's Mansion to see me."

"Shawn and I come to see you?" Erin asked.

"Yeah." Mark nodded.

“Although you came with Sean, I’m still happy to see you.

“Not only that, you also gave me a bottle of healing potion.

"I heard that the potion contained your essence and blood. Sean strongly opposed it, but you still gave it to me.

"For this reason, Sean got very angry on the spot and even slammed the door and left.

"You were helpless. After giving me a few words, you went after him to coax him..."

"Cough cough cough..." The red wine in Erin's mouth almost spit out.

Mark was shocked when he saw this, "Master Imperial Master, you..."

"It's okay, it's okay." Erin waved her hands, dumbfounded.

"Although I should be patient and listen to you finish the dream, I have to clarify.

"Your dream is too biased. Even with Sean's courage, he wouldn't dare to get angry at me."

Mark's face turned red when he heard this, "Then I will..."

Wiping away the red wine she choked and coughed up with a handkerchief, Irene smiled and said:

"Uh, it's okay. Just go on and start after I chase Sean out."

After adjusting his mood, Mark also took a sip of red wine and said slowly:

"After you left, father came in.

"He told me that you, Master National Preceptor, are the moon of the empire, and he actually respects you very much.

“But he thinks that although you are powerful in magic and can govern the country well, you are too messy as a man.

"And we dwarves are very dedicated to emotions, so you won't just belong to me.

"Furthermore, the blood of dwarves is not easy to pass on, and it is even more impossible for you to have children with me.

"But I don't care at all." The tips of Mark's ears turned red.

He raised his eyes to look at Eileen and told her the joy in his heart through the dream.

"Master Imperial Master, I love you, but I never thought of having you alone.

“What’s more, I can’t possibly compare with Duke Holland, who is a sword master.

"I just want to be by your side, to be a deputy, a subordinate, and your most loyal minister."

Meeting Mark's hot gaze, Erin suddenly smiled.

"You told your father the same thing in your dream, but he didn't agree, right?"

Mark’s eyes lit up, “Master Imperial Master, why are you so smart.

“In the dream, my father not only refused to agree, but also scolded me.

"He said, I really don't know how he gave birth to such an easy-to-satisfy 'deviant' like me.

"After all, the dwarves' 'greed for selfishness' is a matter of course engraved in their bones.

"It's right that I love you, and it's even more right that I want you, but my mistake is not being greedy.

"Not to mention the swordsman Duke Holland and the magic genius Caroly Root.

"I, a forger with dwarf blood, am not even jealous of a mere Sean."

"Not jealous?" Eileen raised her eyebrows, looked at Mark, and said teasingly:

"Are you really not jealous of Sean?"

Mark's cheeks turned red, knowing that his little thoughts had been seen through by Irene.

"...jealous, very jealous."

He blushed, lowered his eyes, and confessed in shame:

“Actually, Master National Master, I am too jealous of Sean Mabel.

"Just like His Majesty the Emperor said in the dream, he and I are both little counts, no one is worse than the other.

"What's more, I also have the blood of a dwarf, and I can help you forge artifacts.

"I will also work hard to become a marquis or a duke in the future, and then stand by your side openly.

"But why should Sean Mabel? The first to win is the first to win?"

“But as Holander’s retainer and Holander’s best friend, he shouldn’t covet you.

"If it's because he gave his life for you, then so can I.

"I really... really want to replace Sean Mabel and become your third dragon."

Her red lips curled up slightly, and she suddenly smiled.

But there was no trace of smile in Irene's purple eyes.

She leaned forward slightly, stretched out her fingers, and lifted Mark's chin.

"You have said these words to your father in your dream, right? How did he answer you?

"emmm~~Let me guess... did he say to you——

"My child, you are not wrong. Being selfish is the nature of dwarves. You don't need to suppress your nature.

“If you like it, fight for it; if you love it deeply, fight for it.

"Sean Mabel has taken your place, let's just kill him."
