“Do you know this? I thought there was a limit to the wounds one person could inflict on another…”
She opened the terrace door wide and continued speaking.
“But digging into an old wound brings greater pain.”
It was a pitchblack night outside.
Velia leaned against the night sky and looked directly at Prince Khaled.
“Raul killed me.”
She did not avoid his gaze.
“He forcibly poured poison into my mouth.”
Each and every word she spoke was tinged with profound agony.
“My kingdom of Ronika, my family. They were all destroyed by his hands.”
Hatred, resentment, and anger towards Raul permeated each word.
“I can’t forgive him. That’s why I needed someone who could help me bring him down, and it was only you.”
Prince Khaled listened in silence.
The room was darker than the outside, so Prince Khaled’s face wasn’t clearly visible. The darkness concealed any reaction he might have, which made Velia anxious.
Velia laughed nervously and asked,
“Do you regret holding my hand, Khaled?”
At this moment of truth, the anxiety she had been hiding every day revealed its intense presence.
If he knew everything, he might regret it.
Despite drawing him in herself, her own emotions had always been more important than his intentions.
Fearing his regret, Velia’s inner self churned with unease.
‘But this is the end.’
Whatever answer came from him, Velia decided to abandon her hesitation.
She had laid out all the truths. What happened next was his part to play.
Thus, her own greed had to end here.
Even if he didn’t believe me, there was nothing I could do, she reassured herself.
“I am….”
Prince Khaled, who had maintained his silence, finally spoke heavily.
“I was angry that you knew more about Raul than I did.”
So, to make a point, he had deliberately leaked information to Velia.
“But now that I think about it, it makes me angrier knowing you observed all this while by his side.”
The more he mulled over it, the more perplexing aspects surfaced.
“What was I doing at that time?”
Khaled rose from his seat. He walked over to Velia and gently brushed her hair away.
“I wouldn’t have left you alone.”
Khaled’s touch was tender, as if comforting a wounded Velia.
Velia closed her eyes and leaned into his large hand.
“I’ve never met you in my past life.”
“Not even once?”
Khaled seemed puzzled. It was odd that they had not encountered each other even while living in the palace, unless someone deliberately prevented it.
“Yes. Not even once. We never even crossed paths.”
Khaled clicked his tongue.
“It must be Raul’s doing.”
“Maybe.”
If I could have met you then, maybe the past would have changed.
“I still can’t fully grasp the fact that you’ve returned from the past.”
Khaled warmly embraced Velia.
“But the pain, loss, and anger you’ve shown me can’t be fake.”
Then he walked her to the bed and laid her down.
“You want to give back the pain you’ve suffered, don’t you?”
“Yes. I want to see Raul crumble miserably. I want to see him lose everything and scream in agony.”
Velia’s eyes flashed with malice.
“It will happen if you wish for it.”
As if making a vow, Khaled lightly pressed his lips to Velia’s hand.
That small action seemed to soothe Velia’s sharp senses, filled with vengefulness.
Even if I can’t fully believe that you’ve returned from the past, Velia opened her mouth as if renewing her resolve at the sight of Khaled siding with her.
“Our agreement will continue until he is brought down.”
“Sure.”
“I can do anything for that.”
“Sure.”
“So…”
Velia reached out to grab Khaled’s collar and pulled him close.
“Don’t betray me, Khaled.”
Khaled leaned in and gave Velia a soft peck, then broke into a radiant smile.
“Of course. How can I go anywhere when you’re holding my leash?”
At his words, Velia squinted her eyes in satisfaction and smiled.
“Death is the only thing for a betraying hound.”
There will be no forgiveness.
So, don’t even think about cutting the leash and running away.
At Velia’s stern look, Khaled chuckled.
“I really feel tied down when you act like this.”
Despite his words, his expression was incredibly joyous.
Velia gently brushed his cheek.
“Khaled.”
The person now beside me.
“….I’m glad it’s you.”
Velia buried her face in Khaled’s embrace, genuinely feeling so. Looking at Velia, Khaled could not control the swell of emotion and held her tightly.
It was fortunate she couldn’t see his expression.
Velia, who had confided a secret she couldn’t tell anyone, would never leave his side. She tried to tame a hound, but perhaps it was the owner who had been tamed.
Unbeknownst to her, a thread that slowly ensnared Velia had coiled tightly around her.
“How pretty.”
You can feel secure with the leash in your hand; I’ll take care of the rest.
“I’ll help with your revenge.”
So, don’t ever leave my embrace.
If you would just stay by my side, I will make it the best choice you’ve ever made in your life.
Khaled’s pupils shone vividly.

“Don’t worry, I will definitely defend your chastity.” Yan Jin looked at the flawless and delicate features of the unfortunate junior and gently comforted, “Because we have transmigrated into a female-dominant world.”

Top celebrity Yu Shu suddenly fell into a coma during a concert.
Research scientist Yan Jin fainted in the lab after working overtime.
Two people with no connection were rushed to the same hospital.
Three days later, neither of them had woken up.
Suddenly, the entire nation discovered that a live streaming app had been forcibly installed on their phones.
Upon opening it, they heard the two discussing how to escape from the brothel.
The entire internet was in an uproar.
After the two successfully escaped from the brothel, Yu Shu’s fan group rushed to make a banner and sent it to the hospital overnight.
“Big sister bravely took action to defend the chastity of our idol!”

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
