My Childhood Friends Are Trying To Kill Me

Chapter 155

***

Griffith touched Lelias hand again. A warmth passed through his fingertips.

Because we lived for you, we cant erase our feelings for you in an instant.

But if we fight over you, we will all suffer together. So, I think we can be at peace this way.

If you marry one of us, what do you think will happen to the rest?

Lelia didnt answer. She couldnt even guess because she had never imagined it. But Griffith spoke confidently, as if the results were being painted right in front of her eyes. It was a frightening idea.

Obviously, our relationship will be distorted. Its going to be messy and complicated. Pointing swords at each other, well never be able to remember our childhood memories again. Well only hate each other

It even sounded terrible Hearing his words, Lelias expression was distorted.

Griffith returned with a fresh voice, as if he had never scared her. Of course, Lelia, everything is your choice and your decision. I will never force you.

But there could be a better way I dont know, Griffith whispered sweetly.

It was a tone that seemed to be only for Lelia. The strength in her hand gripped tighter on the hem of her robe. Griffith says its only her own choice and her decision

[As Griffith said, could there be a better way than this?]

No matter how much she thought about it, she couldnt think of one. Lelia hesitated for a moment, then she looked at Griffith.

But you didnt want to come to the temple. Why are you here now?

Yes, of course, for you.

As I said before, as long as you are prosperous, everything will be at peace. It doesnt matter if its not for me. Even if I had to go back to my home country and kneel before my family, I could do it.

At Griffiths words, Lelia bit her lips tightly. She knew Griffith was extremely reluctant to bind himself to the temple. If hes successful, his home country will do anything to take advantage of him. Yet, Griffith entered the temple on his own feet. Only for Lelia. Lelia felt like Griffith had sacrificed something big for her.

She felt sorry for Griffith, who was casually dressed in a white robe that he hated so much. However Why was she being so anxious? Maybe its a trap. There is no choice that has only advantages. Griffiths attitude was so friendly, and she felt that he had nothing to do with it, which made her suspicious and anxious. It was rather strange that it was put together so well.

Griffith asked affectionately if he had noticed her anxiousness, If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Its just hard to believe. Its impossible to have such advantages.

At that, Griffith smiled lightly.

Well, of course Its going to bother you a bit. You will have to read the Bible, worship, and pray without believing in God.

Is it just that? Lelia asked Griffith with her anxious eyes, How long do I have to stay in the neutral zone?

Well About four or five months a year?

Lelia bowed her head and fiddled with her fingertips. If Griffiths words were true, it meant she could return to the Superion territory and stay there for the rest of the year. Gradually, she leaned toward agreeing with Griffith. But there still was an important problem.

However Youre deceiving everyone. I dont have any power, let alone divine

power

Lelia murmured a little, and Griffith smiled. Oh, shes coming over. Griffith barely held back his desire to laugh by suppressing the corners of his mouth.

Dont worry about that, Ill take care of everything.

How?

Griffith smiled, holding Lelias hand tightly without answering. Then he pulled her hand towards his lips and kissed the back of her hand. Griffith almost impulsively brought up the story of that time.

He suddenly remembered that Lelia came to his room and kissed his lips first. Of course, after that, a tragedy occurred in which he was deprived of his hard work by Oscar His spine trembled when he remembered Lelia kissing him first. He will be able to afford more chances if they stay together in the temple in the future, so he will be able to experience it again.

Lelia.

Good luck in the future.

Lelia looked at Griffith smiling kindly and suppressed her strangely uncomfortable feeling.

Griffith took the gold bracelets and put them on her wrist. The bracelets were neither too loose nor too tight.

It is a bracelet that contains divine power. With this, the priests will never doubt you. So, never let it go, Griffith said.

Once again, she wondered how much divine power Griffith had. But she didnt have to ask. Lelia stared at the bracelets that were fastened to her wrists, as she couldnt sleep through the night. She constantly wondered whether this was the right choice for her. For some reason, the bracelets on both wrists felt heavy like shackles.

However, the bracelet with divine power made her condition better. Her body felt light and her head clear. It was as refreshing as if she was walking in the woods. With her mind cleared, Lelia thought about her future while holding her lap. Her first priority was for her mother to wake up. Then Thinking of it gave her a headache.

[His madness]

It suddenly appeared, and she couldnt shake the thought that it was her fault. She spit out harsh and venomous words and wanted him to hurt. Anyway, her words made a deep wound on her as well. But apart from her guilt, she didnt want to return to the Imperial Palace again. She didnt even want to send her mother back there. And

Lelia recalled one of the things Griffith had said to her.

We will always be by your side without forcing you to marry us. The five of us We dont have to part forever.

Even thinking about it again, it was an unfamiliar and strange feeling. She was stunned, because she never dreamed that her friends would ask her to marry them. Kalix, who was angry with her, came to mind, and Oscar, who promised to make her an empress, also came to mind

At the same time, it reminded her of Oscars shoulders, which had crumpled in pain. She wondered what the hell had happened, why he was in so much pain, and whether he was still in pain. She tried to organize her thoughts, but the more she thought about it, the more her mind became a mess. Her head hurt so much that she wished shed been an idiot so she couldnt think deeply at all.

Lelia couldnt sleep until dawn like that.

***

Griffith hummed as he walked down her hallway. It was a temple he didnt want to come to, but now he likes it quite a bit. It was a good thing he had to stick with this place in the future and live. After all, if he had Lelia, this place would be considered a paradise even if he was the emperor of Nicaea, which he hates so much.

A little while ago, Griffith had just come out of his room, checking Lelia who had barely slept. Lelia was lying on the white bed like a painting. He regretted why he didnt do this sooner. His chest was pounding, and something of his was tight. As she slept on the bed, it evoked strange fantasies, but Griffith had no intention of ruining everything by being impulsive.

There will be plenty of time in the future anyway.

Griffith laughed as he remembered Lelia, who would soon be in a different shape on this bed. He then carefully closed the door and headed out to his office. Griffith came into his office humming, found unexpected guests, and stopped. Romeo and Kalix were waiting in his newly decorated office with angry faces.

You are here so soon.

You, you crazy b*****d. What the hell did you do?

He calmed himself by showing both palms to Romeo, who was about to rush him.

Are you mad about waiting so long? Im on my way to see Lelia, who is barely sleeping, so calm down.

When he heard Lelias name, Romeo rolled his eyes. But Kalix didnt care. He grabbed Griffith by the neck and dragged him to the sofa. He made Griffith sit down with a forcible throw and asked, Explain it properly, you b*****d.

Friends are f***ing idiots. Griffith muttered as if hurt. But inside him, a smile burst out.

Who says whos a b*****d? Who is the b*****d?

Griffith straightened his posture, arranging his crumpled priest suit.

I never forced it. Its Lelias choice.

Are you asking me to believe you? Kalix asked, clenching his fist. Romeo sighed deeply and sat down on the sofa.

She went to Oscar. Why is Lelia here?

She was going to Oscar?

Griffiths brow furrowed. He didnt even know that Lelia was staying with Oscar near the neutral zone. He only knew that the paladins had found and brought her. Come to think of it, he couldnt ask Lelia why she was there.

Griffith realized his mistake and clicked his tongue. He was so happy that Lelia was in his grasp that he had forgotten for a moment. By the way, did he say shes going to Oscar?

She said Oscar was sick, Romeo said. She said he was in serious condition So he sent Lelia, but Why is she here?

In response to Romeos reply, Griffith blinked as if he was uncomfortable and soon it passed by.

The paladins found and brought Lelia here, who was lost on her way.

Hearing Griffiths answer, Romeo scratched his forehead and said, Well take Lelia straight to the estate when she wakes up.

Really? Youll regret it.

What?

Griffith smiled and started explaining. Unlike with Lelia, the story will soon end.

What if Lelia returns to the estate? What do you think will happen in the future?
