Do Flowers Bloom in the Fallen Land? - Chapter 143.2
From the moment their skins touched, she was overcome by a dizzying sensation, and when their tongues tangled and their saliva began to mix, she couldn’t keep her mind together. Her breathing became faster and faster as his hands stroked her spine. She recalled the moment when their hands, intertwined with each other, had been in perfect contact with each other.
As if they’d been greedily moving to possess each other more completely, a secret pleasure rose and dyed their eyes white.
He affectionately caressed her cheek as she gasped for breath.
“Seira.”
The yearning in his red eyes warmed her heart. When their lips overlapped again, nothing existed outside their world. Only he and she remained, falling into a sweet dream of love.

“What the hell are you talking about? The Crown Prince and his fiancée…”
Baron clicked his tongue inwardly as he looked at the bewildered Calrad. It was true for him, but Calrad, who had never been in a relationship even after coming of age, didn’t know much about men and women.
Just telling Calrad that Seira and the Crown Prince, who he thought had a one-sided love, were in love seemed to have confused him greatly, so Baron didn’t bother to bring up that the news of the pregnancy was false.
Instead, he relayed his speculation related to the most pressing issue, the nesting of the D-Arc.
“…”
“Your Majesty…?”
“…Yes. I see what you mean.”
With his face buried in his palm, Calrad answered with difficulty. He seemed very shocked.
He wanted to give him time to accept it, but the situation was not good. After all the Guardians died, the movements of the beasts became unusual.
Those who tried to stay away from the barrier made up of angkoras began to rush in one by one without fear. It seemed that the high-level beasts were forcing the intermediate and lower-levels from behind.
‘I thought they’d make a detour attack like a Guardian… That must be why they thought they had no chance of winning.’
It was a clever judgment in its own way.
‘If that large number come and attack at once, even angkora will be useless.’
There were thousands of beasts, and there were at most about 200 angkoras. There was nothing they could do if the rest stormed in like a tsunami while angkoras bit the intermediate and lower-level beasts offered as sacrifices one by one. There was no choice but to confront them head-on and fight.
In response, Baron’s countermeasures were simple.
‘First of all, let’s abandon the castle for now.’
Without Seira’s permission, D-Arc would not open the door, so he planned to take care of the beasts from the outside after withdrawing the troops.
‘The only question now was how long the gate would hold…’
In any case, this was the only way to avoid annihilation.
But before that, Seira’s body had to recover at least a little.
According to Louis, the blood and flesh of the beasts were toxic, and the more they absorb it, the more the area becomes contaminated. If a fierce battle broke out and the corpses of the beasts piled up like mountains, the corruption of D-Arc would accelerate, and the worst could happen.
‘If His Majesty comes forward, Seira won’t be able to ignore it.’
He knew Seira would be annoyed, but since her safety was at stake, Baron couldn’t give in anymore. Fortunately, Calrad also went straight to Seira when he realized the urgency of the matter. After ordering the captains of each knight order to prepare to move their troops, Baron and Calrad turned to persuade her.
An ominous and eerie energy suddenly penetrated his heart.
‘What is this…?’
Baron, who struggled to turn his head while holding his chest, witnessed it.
‘The Duke’s Castle…’
The sight of D-Arc swallowing Seira with his mouth wide open like a living creature.
*
Seira let D-Arc swallow her. In an instant, she was placed on the throne and became king. Although corrupted, she became the master of a noble castle that existed before Hesrad was even founded.
Only after that did Seira understand perfectly what she was and what she could do.
As if they had been there from the beginning, she could see the backs of many people. They were glaring at the enemy, surrounding the castle tightly.
It was a very familiar man who took the lead.
‘Daddy.’
The annoying back she saw 15 years ago was just as wide as she remembered.
And next to him stood Seira’s mother, who wanted to love as the head of the family rather than the mistress of Askan, was standing with her spear in her hand.
She still didn’t meet her eyes, but she wasn’t resentful. This was because she knew that she died as a loyal knight who protected Nathan Askan until the end.
When she looked up at those she had missed so much, she could see a black wave that had finally crossed the wall made of angkoras.
Seira then ordered.
-Destroy the invaders.
