[Danielle has been lying] [He has killed your parents. He conspired with the Black Colony] [He is the dead Alpha. He intentionally came back to life to destroy world stability] "I-it can't be ..." It feels difficult to believe the credibility of this mysterious voice that is gnawing at my thoughts. But the problem is, this voice comes with glimpses of a future where Danielle will truly kill me and the baby if I don't act now. ‘I feel like I'm gaining strength from the baby. Is this how it's protecting me so I can save the world? Should I kill Danielle here?’ I thought, trembling in fear. "Diane?" As I remained silent, Danielle in front of me still showed genuine confusion. He tilted his head, waiting for my response. Unbeknownst to him, my consciousness had been taken over by the voice from the future. My hand slipped into the folds of my clothes and grabbed the small knife I had used to cut open my stomach. I swallowed hard. I had never been faced with a life-or-death situation like this before. My body was ready to attack, while everyone was focused on the victory of this battle. "Danielle, can you come with me for a moment? There's something important I need to tell you." I made my voice sound depressed, and my effort succeeded in easily getting Danielle to follow me. “Hm? Sure.” With unsteady steps, I led Danielle, who was still confused, to an empty room far away from the crowd. *blam!* When I closed the door to the room, I stood with my back to Danielle. The sharp knife was already in my hand. I was ready to kill him at any moment. But I struggled to gather the courage. My body trembled as if I were crying. "Diane? Are you okay?" And when I heard Danielle's heavy voice, I remembered the glimpse of the future where he would kill me and the baby. ‘There's no other choice, I have to kill him now.’ I closed my eyes, seeking strength from the Almighty. Hesitantly, I turned my body around. Slowly, I approached Danielle, who was still standing faithfully. As the two of us officially locked eyes, one of my hands pulled his body closer to hug him. And there, I stabbed the sharp knife directly into his heart. "A—ARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!" Danielle screamed in pain. He immediately fell to the floor, blood gushing from his heart. The knife had been smeared with a highly deadly magical powder. The poison spread within seconds and would kill any Alpha in this world. The poison my mother created to protect my family. I never thought I would use it to kill someone else today. "D-Diane ... Y-you damn Omega witch. H-how dare you—argh! How dare you betray me!" Danielle, lying weak and helpless, tried to reach out to me with his blood-stained hand. While I stood in front of him, I could only look at him with a cold gaze. "Forgive me, Danielle. But if I don't kill you today, you could become a threat that will destroy the world." I turned away from the room and prepared to leave. I witnessed Danielle's moments of death before heading to the place where I hid the baby. "D-Diane, you damn ... I'll kill you! I'll kill you! Argh!" *Blam!* And on that day, I completed three missions at once. Killing Prince Danielle, retrieving his sperm, and saving my parents. I hoped that by doing this, my task as the world's savior could be completed soon. ___________ "I-it can't be ... G-gone? The baby is gone? H-how is that possible!?" The secret room I used to hide the baby was already searched when I arrived. And when I entered, the baby I had concealed with my power suddenly disappeared, leaving no trace. "How could this be!? I made it transparent with my power!" I exclaimed, gasping for breath. "Who took it? It can't be ... The baby should not be touched by anyone at random!" This was the first time in my life that I felt this scared. Not only because the baby was a world secret, but also because the baby my parents created to save the world turned out to be a deadly biological weapon sought after by all Alphas in this world! "I-I can't be like this. I have to find it no matter what. The baby ... I have to find it before the Black Colony takes it!" I no longer thought about escaping from this palace because my mind was focused on finding the baby that had disappeared. I searched the underground chambers for any trace, but it was futile. For hours, I ran alone with the threat of being caught by royal soldiers. Yet, I still couldn't find the baby. “What now ... Oh God, what should I do? The baby ... I can't let Black Colony know that what my parents created is a biological weapon that will destroy the world! If they find out—no, if the baby falls into the wrong hands, the world could be in apocalypse!” Black Colony is the faction that assigned me this mission. And at the same time, they are seeking the biological weapon to dominate the world. I can't imagine what would happen to this world if the baby falls into their hands. Fear engulfed me completely. I regretted my mistake of choosing to reveal the baby and helping Danielle. ‘If it weren't for Danielle, I wouldn't have lost the baby!’ I grumbled inwardly. *Boom! Boom! Boom!* "W-what was that?" My tears stopped as I heard the sound of an explosion not far from here. Now, I had successfully escaped from the palace and found myself in a deserted backyard. I looked around in all directions to locate the source of the explosion. The explosion ceased, but my heart felt squeezed. This smell of the explosion ... I'm very familiar with it! It smells like the magical powder my mother gave me! "Could it be ... Is it possible that the baby caused the explosion? It can't be!" I said. In that instant, I felt like I could see the apocalypse is now right in front of me. After realizing the baby was missing, I immediately thought of this world, which would face apocalypse due to the unleashed biological weapon. And more terrifying than all of that, I was the cause of the biological weapon's disappearance. I was the perpetrator. "I-I have to stop it! As long as it still looks like a baby, it can't possibly destroy the world so quickly!" Despite my fear, I mustered the courage to stand up and chase after the sound of the explosion. *Boom! Boom! Boom!* The sound of the explosion came again, and this time it was louder than before. I had to hurry! I quickly straightened my footsteps. And at that moment, my steps halted due to a sharp object suddenly piercing the back of my neck. A sharp blade. Someone had placed their sword against my neck from behind. The slightest movement and the blade would cut my neck. Struggling, I tried to turn around to see who had attacked me suddenly. "I-it can't be ..." For the second time, I couldn't believe what I saw. The person pointing the sword at me, the person thrusting the blade into my neck, is Prince Danielle whom I had killed just a few hours ago. Prince Danielle. He has come back to life, even though the poison had killed his body. He should be dead now! I sure as hell saw him die in that room! "D-Danielle ...?" My voice choked as if I were crying, facing him. "H-how is this possible? H-how can you be here? W-weren't you supposed to die from my poison?"
