The Male Leads Are Trapped in My House

"Your Highness, even when going to the neighboring village to recruit manpower, your help is still needed."

At my request, Cecil nodded, his face clearly showing reluctance.

"Well... I'll consider it after seeing the progress with Lord Theodore. If he's safe, then maybe."

The reason was as he said—Lord Theodore. We still didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

"I think Lord Theodore should wake up today. He's recovered completely."

It was Ezra who responded to Cecil's words. His arm, which had been severed, was slowly regenerating.

"Ugh... Hah!"

Lily screamed in surprise but quickly clamped her mouth shut. Making any noise could draw more virus monsters, which would be dangerous.

Cecil's face turned pale. The two of them moved farther away from Ezra.

"A... monster..."

"He's not a monster. Both Ezra and I just have special abilities. Ezra is immortal, and I have immense strength."

Only then did Cecil seem to realize something, his face turning serious.

"Are those innate abilities? How could a human have such powers?"

"We drank from a spring. It's dried up now, but the virus originated from that spring."

"The origin of the virus?"

"Yes. Thanks to it, we were able to develop the cure and vaccine. All thanks to this genius scientist here and the genius doctor in Graydon."

"As I’ve said before, you take great pride in finding the cure for a virus you spread yourselves."

Cecil’s pointed remark made Lily and I exchange cautious glances.
