chapter 13
13 – Queen-8 under the moonlight
When I entered the waiting room, I felt uncomfortable that a woman was hiding in the corner avoiding me.
“I’m going to sleep, so wake me up when we fight Rob.”
He covered his mouth, wondering what was so scary, and nodded frantically.
It looks like an awakened person, but I don’t know what I’m afraid of as a non-awakened person. Am I that scary?
He sat down in his seat and bowed his head.
Obviously, I had just sat down, but I felt Ha-yeon leaning next to me. Did he wake up for a while because of the commotion?
It wasn’t easy to fall asleep, but I was able to fall asleep because I tried to force myself to sleep by concentrating on Ha-yeon’s warmth.
If I had a nightmare again, I fell asleep thinking that I would thoroughly destroy the place, but fortunately or unfortunately, I was able to sleep without any dreams this time.
When you wake up from a good night’s sleep, your mind will be clear.
***
All matches were boring. Was it after seeing the overwhelming majesty that seemed to chew up the stadium by itself? Normal matches could not satisfy the heated atmosphere of the stadium.
To say that a cockfight is fun is to say that it has to be at a certain level. Compared to that, there was no excitement, fun, or pleasure in the fight between miscellaneous things that were less than bugs.
I closed my eyes and thought of him. I couldn’t see it clearly because it was far away, but I could definitely feel that I was taller and more mature.
What kind of majesty did he show? Countless spectators froze at his appearance, and he killed as many as 15 people by himself as easily as breathing.
Those who watched his fights, at least among the non-awakened, would disagree that he was the strongest.
The more I chewed on it, the more I could think of other words.
‘Should I visit you now?’
Originally, I tried to subdue him in a private meeting with him after the arena was over, but now that I saw him, I wondered if there was a need to wait until the arena was over. I don’t have to waste my time to go get him now and hold him in my hands.

No matter how great he showed on the pitch, in front of me it was just a joke. It’s different from me when I was young when I couldn’t handle mana well. Perhaps, if you really wanted to fight, there was an overwhelming difference in power that could kill you instantly with a single blow.
I will not be harmed by his full blow, and he will crumble at the slightest gesture of my hand.
I didn’t intend to kill him, but the idea that he was weak enough to die if I mistreated him was enough to warm my heart.
Okay, let’s go find it now, let’s make a cute little cat mine.
I got up from the jet-black throne and headed to the waiting room where he was.
How would he react if I suddenly asked him to obey me after meeting him for the first time in 10 years? Will you resist too? But it doesn’t matter if he rebels.
If you touch him lightly a few times, he will quickly become gentle, so I wish he would rebel a little. Because even I don’t want to bully him for no reason.
It wasn’t that far to the waiting room. When I opened the door that Yeji had opened and went in, I saw the commander of the action unit crying in the corner of the room. As I approached him lightly ignoring him, I saw the senior guardsman sleeping on his shoulder.
Annoyance soared. I thought about slicing her up right away thinking that she dared touch mine, but she is an S-class Awakener, an opponent that can never be defeated. You probably won’t be able to catch her even with all the power of the underworld. An S-class awakener is such a being.
He approached him after seeing his skills anyway, and since he wouldn’t need a non-awakened person in the guard, if he made a mouth-watering proposal, he would quickly back down. If need be, he could have given the entire underworld into her hands.
“what.”
As I approached, the captain of the guard stood up and stopped me, probably feeling the presence of people. I even thought it was bizarre to see him stand up right away and block my way, even if he was the captain of the guard.
I couldn’t tell whether the altered voice was a woman or a man, an old man or a child, but it didn’t mean much to me, who already knew its identity. He hid his voice and appearance well and didn’t even pay attention to how he fought when fighting Yeji.
“I know you are the captain of the guard. Please speak comfortably.”
“Are you the bitch my brother talked about?”
The captain of the guard glared at me with ferocious eyes.
Is it that I don’t like it that much? Even though they are between the captain of the guard and the ruler of the underworld, is it enough to be so angry the first time they meet? I thought.
`Oh, brother? The brother the guard chief was looking for was my cat?`
I never heard that he had a brother. He didn’t talk about himself so much, so I didn’t even know that he had a younger brother.
Still, to think that he was the man the guard chief had been looking for so long, considering that they had different surnames and different looks, they didn’t look like siblings, but the guard captain himself would say that they were older brothers, so it wouldn’t be a normal relationship.
I had a hunch that things were going to get complicated, but I couldn’t give up on him. I wouldn’t have known if I had lived without knowing it at all, but since we met like this, it was impossible to just let go.
Because he has to be my own cat. Because you have to surrender to me in my hands.
I glanced over at him, who was sleeping comfortably, and found that he had grown surprisingly well. Even though he was shorter than his peers, he grew up to be above average, and his cute face had his own handsomeness.
I wouldn’t say he was very handsome, but if you were to discuss whether he was handsome or ugly, he was definitely handsome.
“What are you here for?”
The old man of the guard blocked his way, obscuring his watchful face. I couldn’t see his expression because he was wearing his robe tightly, but his voice was filled with anger.
Could it be that the ruler of the underworld didn’t like being interested in his brother?
It was a far more overreaction than I expected.
‘You seem to be a bitch who cares for your brother very much.’
I thought maybe I should go back a bit. The process of ruling over a younger sister like this could never be easy.
“I came to meet an old relationship.”
“Old relationship? My older brother won’t know you’re like that. Just get out of here.”
Perhaps he thought his identity had already been revealed, but the look in the captain’s eyes when he took off his robe hat was not the look in his sister’s eyes at the woman who was looking for her brother.
Sticky possessiveness, obsession, intense jealousy, vigilance.
Perhaps those eyes that resembled mine were much closer to those of a sister looking at the one she loved rather than those of a younger sister toward her older brother.
“Shall we calm down and have a chat?”
It turned out to be a lot more difficult than I thought. Probably, it will be impossible to get him into my hands within today.
It may be difficult even if it takes several months.
I never dreamed that there would be such a powerful opponent.
‘I can’t give up though.’

No matter how many months or years it takes, I will get him.
“Shut up. Don’t come near my brother.”
“Ugh, what are you talking about?”
Was the captain’s voice too loud? He woke up rubbing his eyes.
Unlike when he was fighting, he was very cute even when his poison was gone.
“It’s been a while. My knight?”
According to the original plan, it was planned to have him submit as soon as he met him, but since he has a competitor, winning his heart is more important. I hid my inner feelings and greeted them as politely as possible.
“Wolha? It’s been a while. But can’t we stop using the title of knight?”
He blushed and bowed his head, perhaps ashamed of being called knight.
Every expression on his face, every gesture, there was no place that wasn’t cute.
“Ha Yeon-ah? Relax a bit too. We just worked together once when we were young, right?”
Despite his words, the captain of the guard’s eyes did not change. It was just glaring at me with sharp eyes, as if I were an nemesis in life.
‘That’s stupid.’
As long as there is a competitor, he has the initiative, but he seemed too foolish to be his opponent to do something he disliked.
The old guard was too stupid to be my opponent.
I, who have far greater desires than you, try to please him with bated breath, but I don’t care what he says. Do you already think he’s yours? It’s a stupid look.
I was confident that I could win this match.
‘And when that happens.’
I stared at him with the mindset that he would love me to the fullest even the things I couldn’t do now. It was very cute to see him unconsciously shrinking his body as if he felt my eyes.
