The Price is Everything of Yours (76 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 169
A secret chamber illuminated only by candles, with no trace of sunlight.
Kaymil, seated on a chair in the center of the room, waited solemnly. A shadow agent from Eunwol knelt before her and reported.
“Your Highness. The one who killed Lord Wells was Lord Tropur.”
“Lord Tropur? How could that wretch manage it? Isn’t he also locked up in prison?”
Kaymil’s brow furrowed. The Lord Tropur mentioned by the agent—until recently the lord of Tropur—had already been stripped of his lands and was now merely awaiting sentencing for deceiving his superior lord.
Tropur had been a prosperous territory, reliably yielding great profits, and Lord Tropur’s family had lived comfortably there for generations. Naturally, he might harbor resentment toward Lord Wells, whose actions had abruptly ruined his standing. But could a man imprisoned truly orchestrate the perfect fake suicide of another prisoner?
The shadow agent elaborated.
“It appears he received help from ‘Yayan.'”
“Ah.”
Kaymil, now convinced, gave a twisted smile.
“Yes, of course. After all, what else in Vista could possibly dare to blind my precious moon and act so recklessly?”
Renowned noble houses always maintained private soldiers and shadow agents for discreet matters—though such arrangements were scandalous enough that any emperor’s inquiry would be met with vehement denials.
Among the legends dominating this constant rivalry of intelligence, assassination, and secrecy, two names stood foremost: Princess Kaymil’s “Eunwol” and Cledwin Maindlant’s “Yayan.”
It would have been laughable for such famed organizations to be easily identified; merely learning their names required considerable intelligence. At least, that was true among those who knew enough to know.
As the leader of one such legendary faction, Kaymil had complete confidence in her subordinates’ abilities—how much time and wealth had she invested?—and likewise in her own skill as their leader.
An Indifferent Woman is the One Men Desire the Most
One-line summary: The female lead is actually cold-hearted and extremely rational. She has stage-by-stage relationships and won’t two-time, but there will always be someone who secretly likes her.
This novel has the following triggers, so if you’re sensitive to these, please don’t read:
1. The female lead has had many relationships, but she treated each one seriously and broke up properly.
It’s just that the men unilaterally pestered her incessantly. For the female lead, when she doesn’t like someone anymore, she simply doesn’t like them.
(This applies to her relationships with Male Lead 1, 2, 3, and 4 as well, but she’s loyal in each 1-on-1 relationship!)
2. In this novel, Male Lead 2 and the female lead kiss in a car, and Male Lead 1 sees it and beats up Male Lead 2.
The female lead calls the police and sends both Male Lead 1 and 2 to the police station! Male Lead 1 begs the female lead not to break up with him.
3. Male Lead 1 has a gentle appearance but an obsessive personality.
Male Lead 2 has a delicate and soft appearance, slightly green tea-like (two-faced).
Male Lead 3 is a youthful college student and a smart person who has secretly liked the female lead for a long time.
Male Lead 4 is the female lead’s father’s special assistant, a business elite with deep, hidden thoughts.
4. At the beginning of this novel, the female lead has already broken up with Male Lead 1 (Chapter 4) and gotten back together with Male Lead 2 (ex-boyfriend).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!
The male lead being so proud of his wife is honestly adorable, even when he gets jealous.
And the female lead is so elegant and beautiful—I can’t wait to see this scene illustrated
Haha, did the ML really just say that to the FL? He’s so cute when he gets a little jealous.
Can’t wait for next chapter
The ML is so considerate of his wife. He treats her with so much care and gentleness, even when she doesn’t say a word—he just understands her. He’s honestly so perfect, I can’t 😭
I really hope the FL can overcome these painful feelings soon. I can’t bear to watch her suffer this much. 💔
