Chapter 238Previous
Did you hire Mireille?
Is that what the Marquess told you? It seems like that damned bastard has been trusted too much. Even though I warned the Duke that that freak wasnt trustworthy, Ren Mireille stubbornly insisted until the end
Why are you looking for
now?
Standing in front of Lil, Venuas blue-green eyes shone dully.
Such familiar eyes.
In the past, whenever those cold eyes looked at her, her whole body used to tighten. She was rely facing him, but it felt like Lil was already being pushed back into that box. A box ant for forgetting who she was.
While being tied up in her mories, Lil began to hallucinate the screams she used to scream as a child.
Pulling herself together, Lil calmly addressed her relative she t again after many years.
Brother.
Venua glared at Lil, but Lil only raised her head even more when confronted with the clear contempt in his eyes.
Are you twenty-four or five now? I cant believe it. Who on earth will accept you now? The dowry will be needlessly high Damn it, I shouldve found you sooner
Your face used to be worth looking at, but now its clearly over 20 years old. And with your body growing older, I wonder if youll even be able to bear children properly
Lil finally heard why Venua had co to search for her. It was so obvious that she could barely contain herself from laughing.
Ha Its almost embarrassing that I had been this clueless.
Was it my marriage that caused this ss after all? I didnt know my brother was this worried about my life.
Dont call
that. Every ti I hear you call
my brother, Im starting to wish more and more that we could bring back the tradition our family honoured 200 years ago.
Because back then, we could still publicly execute the filthy bitches in our family with our own hands.
Venua took a drag on his cigarette. With a sigh, the smoke from the cigarette spread across Lils face. Her vision beca blurry in an instant and it even forced her to turn her head. After coughing a few tis, she opened her eyes again and noticed the clock on the fireplace. It was pointing at midnight.
I expected it, but still, its extrely disappointing. Im actually the foolish one for thinking you committed suicide. For a mont I had forgotten that you were an animal without any sha. You let yourself be wheedled by that Marquess and rolled bodies with him, didnt you? No need for you to lie to , I know all about it. Its a miracle that you havent given birth to an illegitimate child yet
Lils pulse, which had been calm even after eting her own blood for the first ti in many years, suddenly started racing. She could pass off the verbal abuse directed at her, but she really didnt like to hear Ed getting dragged into this ss as well.
Eventually, Lil couldnt stand it anymore and reacted sarcastically.
I, too, can see how the Prince Regent mustve lived.
The truth is that Venua can still lawfully publicly execute . It might be frowned upon, but no one would bla him. However, theres a reason why I was brought here unhard. Venua needs
and he needs
alive
Still a Prince Regent despite being an all-grown-up firstborn son. My poor father, even though hes old and sick, I guess he felt uneasy about completely entrusting the principality to my brother. I heard that you yourself have been fighting an illness for several years? Shouldnt you at least go south for recuperation? And yet, even though its precarious, you are holding on to the throne. I fully understand how trustworthy my brother is to father
Venua imdiately lost his temper and threw the glass he was holding against the wall while shouting.
You crazy bitch!
The shattered glass spilt the alcohol in it.
Not knowing how to cope with his anger, Venuas body shook uncontrollably. As he got closer, his bloodshot eyes glared at Lil as if to devour her.
Who gave you permission to use your tongue like that?
At that sa ti, Venua raised his right hand high, his blazing eyes looking like he intended to kill her.
Lil clenched her jaw.
It would be beneficial to get hit.
As soon as she braced herself, Lils cheek flared up. Despite being able to withstand the weight-loaded blow, Lil fell sideways, pretending she couldnt overco his strength.
Fuck!
Venua was about to kick Lil as well, but swerved at the last second and kicked the chair instead, causing the seats leg and armrest to shatter and collapse.
Blinking slowly, Lil ca to her senses. She then raised her body and spit out blood. No matter how much she expected it, the impact of Venuas slap was still a lot for her weakened state to handle.
Whats going on?
Maxwell burst through the door and ca inside.
Get out! How dare you co in here without my permission!
Venua, looking around with red eyes, strode towards the table. He then grabbed the bottle standing on it and threw it towards the door. Avoiding getting hit, Maxwell quickly left the inner room and shut the door. After the bottle made impact with the closed door and glass pieces shattered in all directions, the strong scent of distilled liquor filled the room.
This is also in my favour, Im sure that no matter what fuss Venua makes from now on, Maxwell wont co back.
Venua, who had been fuming for a while, even had to place his hand on the table in order to support himself. In between his pauses to catch his breath, the finger from his other hand pointed at Lil.
You probably thought it would be easy to get away with it, right? Yeah, a bitch like you would definitely have thought so.
I guess I need to educate you again. It becos clear to
that I was much too lenient in the past.
..?
Lil raised her hand and wiped the side of her mouth.
It feels sore perhaps he actually managed to tore my lip.
anwhile, Venuas expression, as he looked down at the squirming Lil, suddenly overlapped with the face of the Gualtiero guard who wanted to take a look at the rotten eggs.
How dare you look straight at
with your filthy eyes?
Why am I filthy?
You were rumoured to be the Marquess mistress.
Ah.
Do you think I will simply leave the Marquess alone? His Majesty might not want to give him up, but theres always a way for
to avoid the eyes of even the imperial family. Sooner or later, I will cut off his head and shut him up for good.
This is exactly what Ive been worried about. It has always been evident to
that my brother was going to do sothing about Ed if word got out Fearing this would happen, I couldnt bring myself to hastily show my feelings for him or approach him without hesitation But apparently, during my stay in Roahn, rumours spread that I was his mistress nonetheless. Its obvious how much Venua wants to deal with Ed now
Regardless of the feasibility of Venuas thod, anxiety rushed forward and indiscriminately encroached on Lil. Still, she managed to open her mouth with a sneer.
Do you know how many n I have had attached to my stomach? Does this an you are going to find and kill all of them?
What?!
Venua walked towards Lil.
What did you say?
How many years have passed between
leaving Sesbron and you finding
hanging out with the Marquess? As my brother said many tis before, I lived my life bouncing around from one man to another. I thought you would have guessed it all by now as my dear brother was always so sharp-eyed
You crazy bitch! What kind of nonsense are you spouting?!
..!
Venua reached for Lils hair and shook it, causing her neck to bend violently in all directions.
So have you given birth to a child? Huh? Do you have an illegitimate child?!
Venuas other hand pressed roughly against various parts of Lils abdon, as though he was able to tell how many tis Lil had been involved with n or given birth that way. Lil gritted her teeth against the pain of her injured area being crushed and held out her hands under the pretence of begging Venua to stop. Her vision beca blurry again, so she had to rely only on the touch or her fingertips. Then, out of nowhere and without letting her hair go, her body was violently pushed by Venua and hit the sofa. Lil didnt even have the ti to feel the sudden pain in her back as it felt like not only her scalp but also the skin of her face would be torn off due to his tight graps.
Lil, now reaching behind her to find her balance, coincidentally felt sothing in the waistcoat lying on the sofa.
A little closer, co on a little closer
While blindly struggling with her hands, Lil reached closer until the cold tal behind her waist brushed against her palm. Lil then imdiately pulled it out and shoved it under Venuas chin.
Upon feeling a foreign object being pushed against his skin, Venua froze.
Those old habits of yours have been proven quite dangerous.
Lil slapped away the hand that was pulling her hair before placing her thumb on the ball. At the sound of the pestle going down, Venuas eyes widened and rolled down. Lil put more force on the barrel of the gun and pressed it further into his chin.
Soon, the hands that fell from Lil rose hesitantly into the air
