Following Olivia’s gaze, Cryer found a row of knights standing solemnly at the end, their faces stern.
Presidents and prime ministers from various countries had taken a few steps back, repeatedly nodding at their imposing figures.
“Why can’t they move in such unison in a continental war… Sigh.”
Letting out a deep sigh filled with frustration, Olivia had, in any case, managed to seize what she wanted.
Even if it was just a hem…
“This concludes the Continental Conference.”
With Olivia’s clear voice, the hastily convened Continental Conference for world peace was concluded, leaving behind a few tasks.
[This is the time separator]On the second day of Cryer’s stay in the empire.
Olivia had to postpone her deep conversation with Cryer for a while.
There was no time to be alone with him.
“So, the reason for calling everyone on the continent to the palace…”
“It is for world peace.”
“Princess.”
“Your Majesty, when have I ever done anything rash?”
Of course, she never did. She didn’t like stepping up in the first place, and Olivia, who had always been faithful to her duties as a princess, had never led anything.
The emperor nodded at Olivia, who was filled with confidence more than ever before.
“I will trust you.”
Thus, without a proper explanation, Olivia was assigned tasks related to Cryer and, to be precise, those related to the people she had brought in through the Continental Conference, with just her confidence.
Now that she had gained the approval of the biggest obstacle, the emperor, it was time to deal with the minor issues.
“Is it there?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
“Arrange the currently vacant palaces in the west. Consider the relationships between the countries.”
“Yes, I will arrange it.”
“Do it now.”
“What?”
“Go and do it now. You don’t need me to do it.”
Olivia dismissed her aides and servants and moved alone.
There was no need to bring a lot of people to meet Cryer.
Even if their mouths were heavy with secrets, secrets were always buried in graves.
At first, she had called him to a private room without regard, but now there was no need to be so reckless.
“Your Highness, the Princess.”
Olivia stopped at the sudden appearance of a figure in front of her.
The man who appeared suddenly bowed exaggeratedly and took large steps towards her.
“From the first moment I saw Your Highness, I’ve been constantly looking for you, and it seems that God has recognized my sincerity.”
Olivia looked at him without saying anything.
Whether it was due to her silence or his own confidence, he took a slow breath and extended his hand, bowing even more exaggeratedly than before.
“Would you allow me to introduce myself?”
Looking intently at his hand, Olivia soon lifted her chin and straightened her back.
As a brilliant smile spread across her face, he also tried to smile in response.
“I refuse.”
“I mean, what…?”
As he opened his mouth again, Olivia’s smile deepened.
“I don’t know who you are, but I don’t intend to find out. Leave.”
The cold voice that chilled him to the bone entered his ears, and for a moment, the Princess, who had been much smaller than him, became an insurmountable mountain.
Olivia took a step towards him, eyes wide.
“I don’t want to see you again.”
He opened his mouth, but could not say anything due to his constricted throat. He stepped back, then hurriedly disappeared from Olivia’s sight.
When he was no longer visible, Olivia patted her stiff shoulders.
She had expected all sorts of nuisances to appear, but she didn’t think such a foolish one would be mixed in.
She frowned at the tiresome tasks that were about to unfold, but a low voice came from behind.
“You’re completely different from my time. Truly a princess of the empire.”
Olivia quickly turned around to see Cryer emerging from behind the pillar.
“Of course, I am. Who do you think I am, some stranger? And if you were watching, you could have helped.”
“I intended to.”
“You intended to?”
“But it ended too blandly. Besides, once I get involved, I have to see blood.”
“What? See blood? Well, you shouldn’t. I’m glad you didn’t help… no, you didn’t have to see blood. You could have just disabled an arm or a leg. Why are you so impatient because you didn’t see blood?”
“You have the audacity to say such cruel things with your rabbit eyes wide open. It’s not me who wants to see blood.”
Leaning against a pillar, Cryer slowly stood up and stepped forward.
His shadow moved step by step, gradually covering Olivia’s shadow in the quiet corridor where the afternoon sunlight was slanting.
Eventually, Cryer, who stood face to face with her, his darkened pupils were boiling like an active volcano with hatred and anger.
From the deep abyss, the lord of the contract flowed from between his lips with a growling sound as if it was crawling out.
“The one who wants the blood that will flood the entire continent is the accursed lord of the contract. An ancient god.”
[This is the time separator]Around the time Olivia was encountering Cryer,
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
