*gulp* This conversation makes my body tremble with fear and tightens my chest so much. I can't escape; behind me, there are already many armed soldiers guarding me in case I dare to run. ‘And it doesn't mean I can obey Danielle's desire to defeat the Alpha-alpha colony! What if I lose? Will he kill me right away?’ I bit my finger until it bled, so panicked with my thoughts at that time. No, this can't happen. I can't let it happen. My parents trusted me to protect this baby by hiding it in my stomach. If I die, the whole world will perish. The world is on the brink of an apocalypse, and biological weapons are still unknown. It can be said that I am the only hope that the Werewolf world can have. "Ugh! Argh!" What is this? Suddenly, I feel the baby in my stomach move! "What's wrong, Diane?" Danielle stops walking because he's confused, seeing me suddenly fall to my knees while holding my stomach. "I-I ... I'm ... f-fine," I say with great difficulty. "C-Can I borrow the toilet for a moment? It seems like I have diarrhea." With a puzzled face, Danielle reluctantly escorts me to the toilet and waits outside. When I finally find a safe place, I quickly take off my top to see what's happening to my stomach. "Oh my God … T-this can't be!" I almost scream in fear. The baby in my stomach is moving just like a human! I feel it gradually growing and growing. My flat stomach now looks round and big, like I'm in the third trimester of pregnancy that about to give birth. ‘I feel like it wants to come out of my stomach! What should I do? Should I give birth here?’ I think to myself. I never expected that the baby in my stomach could grow this big as if affected by magic. With cold sweat pouring down, I grab the small knife that I use as a necklace pendant. My hands tremble as I hold it. I never expected that I would have to perform the surgery myself. I have to take out this baby. If not, I will explode and die. And if I die, this baby will have no hiding place anymore! ‘There is no other choice. I have to do it myself.’ I stuff my mouth with my loosened clothes and close my eyes as the knife begins to tear through my abdomen. "Ughhh!" I endure the incredible pain caused by this anesthesia-free surgery. “Arrrggghhhhhh! I-it’s so h-hurt! ARGHHH!!!” It feels like being mutilated alive. I would have died in agony if I didn't have magical powers. After enduring immense pain, I finally manage to deliver this baby from my stomach. However, the misfortune that befalls me doesn't stop there. My breath stops instantly when the baby that comes out of my stomach turns out to be not a human baby. But, a form that I completely do not understand. A form that does not originate from a human at all. I know this form. Because my father and mother once described what the form of a deadly biological weapon that will annihilate the world would be like. I hold the tiny baby in disbelief. "T-this can't be. So, what has been in my stomach all this time ... is a deadly biological weapon that will destroy humanity?" _______________ "Why did it take so long?" After successfully delivering and hiding the baby, I see Danielle standing in front of the toilet door impatiently. *Boom! Boom! Boom!* "W-What was that?" I say after hearing multiple explosions from outside. "That's the cannons thrown by the Alpha colony attacking this palace," says Danielle. He looks very annoyed. "What are you waiting for? Let's go out. You have to help me win this battle if you want to survive the death penalty." With unsteady steps, I, who am still severely injured from the impromptu surgery, follow Danielle outside. And what he says is completely true. In front of the Nightfall kingdom, there is indeed a small war going on between the Nightfall Alpha soldiers and another mysterious colony. The soldiers are ready with their weapons and swords. Danielle, too, has taken his large sword. ‘What ... What can I do to win this battle? They both have weapons and strength. Anyone can lose if they are careless in this war!’ I panicked. My body trembles because it's the first time I've seen a war right in front of my eyes. "Diane. Now, tell me. How can I defeat the leader of the Alpha forces?" Danielle, who is already prepared in his battle attire, asks me a crucial question that I have no idea how to answer. *gulp* I can only stare at Danielle with a pale face and swallow my saliva. What should I do? What should I say? It’s not like I can really see the future! [The leader of the Alpha forces has mysterious powers] [Regular weapons won't be able to defeat him] [You have to use powers to kill him] [Attack his heart with power, and he will die instantly] "W-What is this?" Just before I answer Danielle's question, suddenly I hear a mysterious voice coming from inside my head. The voice talks about something I don't understand. But what I know is that the voice is telling me how Danielle can defeat the mysterious Alpha colony leader. ‘I don't know where this voice comes from. But it seems like I can use it to make Danielle believe in me,’ I say to myself. "Danielle, I have seen the future. Listen to me carefully. This is the only way to win this battle." ___________ "We won! We won!" "The Nightfall Kingdom won! We have successfully killed all the Alphas!" "Cheer for our victory!" *Clap! Clap! Clap!* I can't believe my own eyes. I have witnessed the victory of the Nightfall Kingdom's forces against the mysterious Alpha colony, and it's all thanks to me. Danielle did exactly what I said. He borrowed power from a sacred object to stab the heart of the Alpha force's leader, and they won the battle. "Long live Prince Danielle! Long live!" All the soldiers cheer joyfully for the victory. From a distance, I watch how Danielle is praised as a hero of the kingdom. ‘With this ... My mission is complete, right? I won't be sentenced to death, will I?’ I think to myself as I gaze at all of them. *Thump* Like a chest being stabbed with a dagger, I feel that strange sensation again. My head throbs and my chest hurts. This feeling is exactly like what I felt when I heard the mysterious voice earlier. "U-ugh ... My head hurts so much ..." I collapse in pain as I feel the excruciating throbbing. "Diane?" Danielle, apparently realizing my strangeness, walks closer. Holding back the pain, I try to see his face from a distance. And at that moment, I hear that mysterious voice again. For some reason, it feels like it's coming from the future. [Kill him now] [Danielle is lying. He will still kill you on charges of being a witch] [He is only using you] [Kill him now. If not, he will kill the baby and you] "W-What?" I'm so shocked by the mysterious voice. It speaks as if it's telling me events from the future!
