Even if Your Regret Holds Me Back (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 136
Helena moistened her lips with a half-filled glass and finally looked up. Lady Jenia, whose eyes met hers, flinched.
“Didn’t the young lady say she prepared lunch today? The taste wasn’t bad, but considering it’s a charity event meant to pray for the end of famine, it would’ve been better served more modestly. Or perhaps you’ve been so utterly absorbed in news of your cousin—who shares my name—that you had no time left to attend to the basics? If so, I suppose we’ll just have to be content with your pretty little head fulfilling its role as mere decoration.”
Helena turned her head slightly to the side and added,
“Wouldn’t you agree, Mother? If I’m to be so easily crushed by such trifles, wouldn’t it be a waste that I bear the Evergale name?”
Her voice remained cheerful, yet the gaze she fixed on Christine had dimmed considerably.
Helena set down her glass after taking another sip and slowly approached Christine. The crowd surrounding her instinctively stepped back, as if pressed by an invisible force.
Within the quiet space that opened before her, Helena leaned in slightly and whispered,
“To think your resolve to kill me would be so clumsy—how exactly did you plan to erase me?”
At this, Christine—who had thus far maintained her composure—began to visibly pale.
Helena recalled Christine’s face the moment the wyvern appeared overhead: unnaturally strained, as if feigning fear, yet betraying, despite her efforts, a flicker of sheer delight.
Afterward, Christine remained oddly calm—while everyone else panicked and floundered in terror, she seemed to be waiting for something.
Soon, Helena would personally discover just what Christine had been waiting for.
Reacting to the noise, the wyvern abruptly altered its descent midair and charged straight toward her. Moreover, when she retrieved her sword moments earlier, she had noticed rope marks binding the wyvern’s ankles.
“And the familiar scent from my soaked dress…”
It matched the concoction Gelda had scattered throughout forests during monster-hunting missions in the guild—a blend designed to lure beasts for swifter hunts.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
Short intro:
What she can’t stand the most is the streets full of effeminate men, especially that so-called top beauty whom she avoids at all costs.
Shen Yaoxing looks at Jiang Mingyue, who keeps approaching her with coy shyness.
Shen Yaoxing: Bro, don’t be like this, I’m really about to throw up!
She fears nothing in heaven or earth, except for him getting close to her.

At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!
