The Villain Who Fell Chapter 36: The Real Story

Chapter 36: The Real Story

"I heard from Enoch you got lost and talked to a suspicious person," Elliot said with his casual low voice. Elia didn’t answer him for a while and watched the man leaning by the window while he placed his long fingers under his chin. "And so if I did? Is there a problem talking with soone?" Elia asked instead of answering. There’s nothing wrong with talking with a person unless he would want to make her into an unsociable person.

"I didn’t say you’re not allowed to talk. Rather...I would love to hear your voice all more," Elliot said, letting a soft chuckle out, as he took his seat. There was one word she wanted to say out loud, which was disgusting. This man sure has a problem. "So will you now answer ? Who was that suspicious person?"

Why does this man ask so many questions? Can’t he just leave her alone and let her do whatever she wanted to? But right, Elia forgot that this man isn’t normal but weird. He would not stop asking unless she answered him.

"Just soone who knew my mother. Are you now satisfied?" Elia asked as her eyes kept looking at the door, wanting to get out of his office soon. Elliot raised his brow with his head slightly titled he muttered, "Mother?" then the expression on his face turned darker. How could he forget about it?

Elia read Elliot’s face like a book. Defiantly, there is sothing he was hiding. Sothing only a few knew about this. This man knew Elia’s mother, and he is soone from the Vivan Empire. It isn’t wrong with others knowing her mother but then rember her mother entered the palace at a young age.

Making a relationship with soone with a high position in just a few years would almost be impossible. That is why sothing. They are hiding sothing from Elia.

"Then let

ask you sothing," Elia said while Elliot looked back at her with a smirk and said, "Sure, ask

anything." The slyness of his face annoyed Elia, but he looked confident to the point she wanted to crush his ego. This question may be random, but it might help her open a weakness of his.

"What happened to your parents?"

Silence. The silence was the answer he gave, and not just that, but his expression turned dark again. Not just that, but there was a hint of sadness in his eyes. As if he didn’t want to rember about them. Just like a bad dream. But at least for Elia, this is where it would start. The start of finding his weakness.

"You don’t need to know," Elliot tried dodging the question, but then Elia asked again, "What happened to them?" The more Elia pushed she didn’t know what was going to happen to her. Death or punishnt, she wondered which of the two the man will choose.

The rumor of how Elliot beca the emperor was known to other empires. The boy climbed the stairs by killing his parents. This topic isn’t as sensitive to Elliot, but the way Elia said it, he didn’t like it at all. It felt unpleasing, as if he was the only man alive in the world.

Elliot is an intelligent man who was able to achieve many things at a young age. He used to be bright, loved by the servants, and loved by the late emperor and empress. But what many didn’t know was the massacre that happened that night.

A black-haired boy standing in a pool of blood and his golden eyes filled with bloodlust. That was what they described him. In one hand, he was holding a sword with half of his face covered with his parent’s blood. But the truth was he didn’t kill his parents. He just wanted to save them, and until now, the real murder has still not been caught.

The bla pointed at Elliot built in himself, and that is why he never went against those who said he was a murder. If only there was soone who could tell him it wasn’t his fault. The weight that shoulders him would be lifted.

"I killed them. Are you satisfied too?" Elliot asked, but Elia didn’t take his answer into heart. It obviously was a lie. Every action has a reason, and that is what Elia had believed in. "Good enough," Elia lied as she averted her attention sowhere else.

But as she thought deeper about it, this gives her a reason to continue living. She wanted to find the truth about her mother. But where will she start?

"So, have you finally fallen for ?" Elliot asked.
