The Target Is Wrong, You Know?
공략 대상이 잘못됐는데요?Synopsis
Kidnapped to the Demon King’s Castle at a young age, Zhenya spent years waiting for rescue by the hero. Ten years later, when the hero Lumière finally appears before her, he is nothing like what she imagined.
“Zhenya, I think my stomach hurts a little.”
The blood flowing from his lips was not just dark red—it was pitch-black. Startled, she caught his large body as it collapsed toward her. Lumière lifted his blood-soaked lips into a gentle smile and asked,
“So… we can stay together again, right?”
Even though his internal organs were melting in real time due to poisoned herbs, he smiled brightly, saying he was happy as long as he could be with her. At that moment, Zhenya realized something had gone terribly, horribly wrong.
“Zhenya, if you need me, please cherish me a little more.”
Lumière, who showed no interest whatsoever in the Demon King he was supposed to defeat, instead displayed an excessive obsession with her.
After ten years of longing, will Zhenya truly be able to receive salvation from the prophesied hero?
“So you were hanging out with Jeremiah?”
At the cold, razor-sharp gaze, Lumière bit the inside of his cheek.
“I-It’s not like I invited him. He came on his own. No, I mean—the princess—” “Do you smile that beautifully for people you’re forced to meet, Lumière?”
Unable to respond and flustered, he hesitated, when a voice full of exasperation came from the side.
“This is chaos. Total chaos. You should just date already. You’d make such a good couple…” “Shut up!”
Lumière clamped his mouth shut under the piercing stare aimed at his face.
‘Zhenya is…’
She hated him.
In the end, unable to hold back his sorrow, Lumière burst into tears.
