The young boy showed no signs of waking. 

Instead he looked to be dying. 

As Sylvia walked over to the boy, he appeared very pale and his breathing shallow.

Gently Sylvia scooped up the dirty young child into her warm embrace and started to walk out of the dark deep alley.

Slowly she made her way back to the carriage. Looking up at the coachman, her cold chilling eyes scared him into a quiet submission forcing him to focus on driving.

After witnessing the scene the coachman could only think one thing. "The world really is ending!" 

He silently cried as his world was flipped upside down. Quickly he started the carriage.

He truly was shocked as he witnessed the Demon Princess carry a young boy tenderly in her arms. Even as the boy's blood dripped over her noble attire she hugged him close.

Looking at the bloody boy, he wondered if the child was still even alive.

"Ah that's it." he suddenly came to an epiphany.

"The boy must have gotten in her way so she must have been the one to wound the child, yes... Yes! That's the only explanation! She tortured him to the brink of death and now she is bringing him in order to finish off the job! Wait... OH GOD AM I NEXT?!?" Quietly the coachman deluded himself as he continued to drive, grabbing the reins tighter and tighter as he continued to let his imagination run wild.

Meanwhile the princess continued to hug the young comatose child close. 

His body was getting colder and colder making her fear his death. 

Now what would she eat?

If he died so soon in this world, her points spent on letting him accompany her would be wasted.

 Furthermore, this was her second last world, she only had a few more chances to eat before her imminent death. 

If he died, there would be no point in continuing to live in this world, as ultimately, she had only decided to live for a few more worlds in order to eat some good food.

Sylvia looked down at the boy as she debated what to do, the boys breathing got fainter and fainter till he was barely breathing at all.

"Sigh, I didn't want to use this but I suppose I have too."

The Villain looked at her remaining points, she didn't have a lot left. The "world follow contract"cost a huge portion, as well as "life elixirs" but she knew she needed to spend more of her points so she looked up towards the lifeless computing system. 

"System"

"Reporting to host."

"Put half of my remaining points into a "life elixir."

"Yes Host. Initializing point transfer. Item 【Life Elixir】 acquired."

After acquiring the item, Sylvia started pouring the elixir into her mouth, quickly she tilted the boys head forward, slowly forcing the medicine down his throat. 

As she did this, a feeling a déjà vu sprung across her mind, she had done something similar in her first world with Jun.

It was strange, the more she thought about it the more it seemed like both times were like a kiss.

She had even outright done it in the last world...

Long ago, she had learned to hate such actions. Such things only filled the villain with disgust as she had been forced many times to do it in the past.

Yet, as she had done it to Jun, no such feelings erupted. 'Why was that?' Silently the villain questioned herself.

'It must be because I'm the one initiating it each time. Although our lips met, it is nothing like a real kiss.' 

She used a half hearted excuse before blocking the thought from her mind, she wouldn't think about unnecessary things. Thinking about it would only be a hassle leading nowhere, that's why she hadn't focused on it before. 

Instead she quickly forced her attention back to the boy, focusing on him again as she checked him over. 

Unfortunately, his breathing was still very shallow.

Even with the【Life Elixir】it did not guarantee his survival.

It was a life elixir because if given in time it could heal anything, however if he was too far gone then he would die. 

For now she could only wait and see if his condition would improve.

"Don't... die yet..." Sylvia quietly whispered towards the boys ears, although her voice sounded cold, listening closely it held a distinct tone of gentleness in it.

Unbeknownst to the villain, immediately after she spoke this, the child's shallow breathing started to become smoother and deeper.



*Desert Note: Sorry that the Villain is still so cold, she thinks of her relationship with Jun as strictly contractual, she doesn't want it to go any further then that as she doesn't want to develop feelings of love. (If you read between the lines though, you will realize she has already begun too ¬‿¬)
