The Extra Wants To Live

Chapter 2: The 4th Prince



The imperial physician Milton was brought in late at night. He looked around at Lucas, unable to hide his tiredness.

Only after the doctor left did Lilly barely stop crying, and Lucas listened to Lilly's story feeling a little better.

"… … The Morgan Empire? And I'm the 4th prince?"

"Yes, Master Carl. The 4th prince of the Morgan Empire. And speak comfortably. I'm just Master Carl's maid."

It was only after Lucas heard of the Morgan Empire that he finally knew who he was and where he was.

The Morgan Empire is a country that appears in Lucas's novel that he had read one time 'The Cold-Blooded EmperoRuless' and is ruled by Adrian, As emperor.

Adrian is a person to whom the term cold-blooded fits well, and he killed all of his brothers who might get in the way in the future in the process of becoming emperor.

Even newborn babies who haven't even been born very long, every.

Lucas was placed in a world in a novel where such a crazy person was the main character.

Lucas was trying to remember the character 'Carl' as he traced the story in the novel, and was barely able to remember it.

An extra who doesn't appear once and only has a brief line saying that he died in the middle of volume 1.

He is an extra who is more of a material than a character and only comes to Adrian's mind once to cure the new character's illness.

In other words, if we follow the story of 'The Cold-blooded Emperor Rules', Lucas, no, Carl will face death.

"…How old am I?"

"You turned 16 this year."

After hearing Lily's reply, 'Carl' realized that finding out his age was of no use.

This is because he is a character who did not appear anyway, so no one other than the author knows how old he is.

Fortunately, Lilly explained to him step by step about the imperial family, and he was able to realize what time it was.

'oh my god! It's been a while since novel started!'

'The Cold-blooded Emperor Rules' begins when the second prince, Adrian, who had no interest in everything in the world, awakens in the spring of his 20th year when his mother and empress, Emma, dies.

After that, the full-fledged story progresses by uncovering the secret of Emma's death and confronting Emperor Azgoth.

But now it is fall, and it is said that Emma died last spring.

A year and a half has passed!

In other words, the story has already entered the middle part of volume 1, and Carl's death, which will come soon, will pass by in a short sentence.

'The 4th prince, Carl, who was suffering from a fever, died. He was no threat anyway but Adrian decided to take advantage of the fact that he had no competition. It's not bad.'

That will be the end of it.

"Don't you remember your mother, Diana?"

"I don't remember it at all."

Lilly seemed disappointed by Carl's answer and even despaired.

But the inevitable thing was that the character Diana was not even mentioned in the novel he read as a 'person in his prime', so he had no way of knowing

Carl thought hard while listening to Lilly talking about various things as if she was praying for the last hope that Carl's memories might come back.

'Shit! I should watch it all at once until the end!'

Carl does not know the ending of the novel.

After Adrian became emperor and war broke out with neighbouring countries, there was talk of a suspicious organization somewhere in volume 5, and that was all Carl knew.

If Lucas had known this would happen, He would have stayed up all night to read the whole thing...

Carl regretted it, but it was almost midnight when he arrived at his studio apartment after working overtime yesterday, and he had no choice but to go to sleep right away because he had to wake up at dawn the next morning to go to work.

He has to go to work to make money, and he also needs to earn money to make a living, reading novels is a hobby him...

'How do I survive between the politically crazy monster Emperor Azgoth and the Sangtorai psychopath Adrian?'

The moment Carl chewed hid lips in nervousness, he suddenly felt dizzy before his eyes.

"Master Carl."

When Carl closed his eyes tightly and frowned, Lilly, who had been whispering in a low voice, reacted sharply. Lilly instantly opened the lid of the glass bottle and brought it to Carl's mouth.

"Drink the potion and you'll be fine. Come on, come on."

Carl couldn't do anything due to the sudden high fever. It is a terrible pain as if every cell of the body is being carefully burned. It's hard to believe that humans can feel this kind of pain.

As Carl curled up like a baby and trembled, unable to breathe due to the pain, Lilly also realized that the situation was much more serious than usual and became urgent.

"Please bring Milton! Hurry!"

Lilly piercing screams can be heard calling for the imperial doctor.

Carl knew that he had to drink the potion right away, but he really couldn't move. It's a scary disease.

Just before Carl lost herself in pain, Milton hurriedly ran back and poured ice-cold water on Carl's body.

Suddenly the pain disappeared. No, the pain didn't go away. It was just that it was relatively bearable compared to the pain of being thrown into hell before, so it felt like it disappeared in an instant.

As the pain eased a little and he regained at least some composure, the first thing that came to mind was none other than a flashlight.

Carl once again learned something he did not want to know. If it hurts too much, he can't even think of it.

However, truly horribly and despairingly, Carl could not feel anything in the fragments of life he had lived as a 'person in the prime of his life'.

As if watching a boring B-grade independent movie, the hard life that Lucas lived as best as he could was nothing but boring.

So, it didn't matter to Carl that the faces of Lucas parents couldn't come to mind, that they couldn't even remember their names, and that the love he had received from them and he desire to repay them was all in vain.

So he was so scared and in pain.

Lucas life was all thrown away as worthless. One person's life ended in vain.

Just as 'Carl' life ended with a short sentence, 'Lucas's Voss' life also ended with that.

That's why Carl was even more desperate.

"Master Carl. Come on, come on... . please… … ."

Lilly voice trembles as if pleading or praying. Trembling hands.

Carl was shaking and could barely open his mouth to drink the potion.

"Kahak! Sigh! Haha... !"

Carl collapsed on the bed, panting.

As the pain subsided and I was finally able to continue thinking, there was only one thing that came to mind.

'I must live!'

Emperor Azgoth, protagonist Adrian...

There is no time to worry about such things!

Carl thought there would be about a month more until he died in the story, but it wouldn't be strange if he died right now.

Everything else must be postponed.

What Carl should aim for now is to cure this disease!

But there is a problem.

Carl's disease has never been discovered before, he doesn't even have a name, he doesn't know why his symptoms appear, and he doesn't know when or how he will die. It is a completely unidentified incurable disease.

Even the imperial doctors who examined the data in the imperial library, where all the knowledge in the world is said to be hidden, raised their hands.

However, only one person in the world knows the cure.

Only Lucas, who has read 'The cold-Blooded Emperor Reigns', knows about the cure that is discovered in Volume 3, 4 years later in the story.

To be precise, only 'Carl' knows now.

The sound of Lilly crying in relief quickly faded into the other side of my consciousness.

In the meantime, Carl kept repeating in his head with tenacity not to forget what she had to do.

'Get medicine. I will survive.'

That should be the main priority.
