The Savior Who Bites My Neck (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 11
What a tragic affair, Father.
Even when smiling, Elaina gazed at Melvin with a cold, icy expression.
“You have no credible evidence, no witnesses at all. Unlike me and His Royal Highness.”
“Elaina!”
The emotions he felt—outrage at Sinclair’s brazen scheming, and the absurdity of Elaina finally betraying him—were incomparable.
How dare.
How dare you!
You, a mere four-year-old!
You, of all people!
Flames flickered in Melvin’s eyes as he glared at Elaina.
“The story seems to be over, Melvin.”
Sinclair, who had been listening to their exchange, broke in with a chuckle.
“There are many fascinating laws in Edenbell, especially those concerning the imperial family.”
“Your Royal Highness, I beg you—it’s a terrible misunderstanding! I swear I never had such intentions…!”
“Shall I order your execution, then? All of you.”
In an instant, the faces of everyone from the Asweld household turned ashen with terror.
All except Elaina.
“Or perhaps, hanging?”
Sinclair, towering far above Melvin, looked down at him.
“From what I can tell, you have a rather secretive hobby. Something exceedingly vulgar and filthy.”
“…Yes…?”
“You look the type.”
“…”
“Those who indulge in such perverse tastes are said to experience immense ecstasy even as the noose tightens around their necks.”
“Th… what…?”
“I’ve always wondered. What expression must one wear to die saying such things? Do they climax instead of screaming their last breath?”
Sinclair’s eyes sparkled with the earnest curiosity of a scholar.
“And I believe you could perfectly satisfy my curiosity, wouldn’t you, dear Melvin?”
Sinclair asked, beaming with genuine delight. Despite the cruel words pouring forth, the atmosphere never grew heavy.
The faces of those gathered reflected a strange mix of revulsion and fear at Sinclair’s madness.
And Elaina simply watched Sinclair in silence.
With an utterly tranquil expression.
“I am… truly… wronged. There must be some misunderstanding. I mean…”
“Do you really believe such nonsense from this foolish little girl?”
Suddenly, Layla clenched her fists and burst out.
No matter how arrogant she was, Layla could not possibly be fearless of Sinclair.
Yet, absurdly, her pride was more wounded than her fear—she could not bear to admit she had been bested by the pitiful Elaina Asweld.
For Layla, the most precious and inviolable thing was precisely that worthless pride—exclusively tied to Elaina.
“Layla!”
Melissa screamed in horror, but Layla did not stop.
“You prattle on as if you’re so superior, but it’s all just empty rhetoric! What do you know, you coarse girl raised without proper education?”
“Enough, Layla!”
“The very same reason Father tried to send her to Duke Hank! No one would ever accept a stupid, crippled fool like her!”
“Is that so?”
Sinclair chuckled and asked.
“If your words are true, then Duke Hank must be an extraordinary man, wouldn’t you agree?”
“Yes. Father himself knows this, which is why he was willing to send Elaina away without hesitation! It wasn’t a sale for a large sum of money!”
“It seems slightly off-topic, but there is merit in what you say.”
Sinclair’s unexpected agreement made Melvin’s fingertips tremble.
He knew Sinclair Butler never spoke such words without reason.
“Then, I shall send Duke Hank my own carriage this time.”
Sinclair smiled coolly.
“There is someone who fits your description perfectly. Someone other than Elaina Asweld.”
“What do you mean…?”
“You.”
“…”
“Layla Asweld.”
Layla stared blankly, not fully comprehending Sinclair’s meaning.
“Foolish, coarse, and frivolous. And, in my opinion, you seem to have something wrong with this.”
Sinclair tapped his temple with his index finger.
“Given Duke Hank’s excellence, your father could surely send you off without a second thought, couldn’t he?”
“Th… that…”
“How about it, Melvin? Quite an appealing gesture, wouldn’t you say?”
“…”
“And now that I think about it, executing you by hanging or beheading seems a bit premature.”
He had no idea what tune to follow. Melvin stared at Sinclair, his eyes filled with confusion, and Sinclair continued smugly.
“As I said before, such executions would grant you the greatest joy—without any cost at all.”
“Y… yes…?”
“So I’ve changed my mind.”
A sinister silence fell. Within it, Sinclair slowly extended his hand and seized Melvin by the collar.
Melvin’s plump, pudgy body, like a fat mouse, lifted helplessly into the air without even struggling.
Holding Melvin aloft with one hand, Sinclair leaned in and spoke in a flat, toneless voice.
“I’ll spare your life, but make you suffer for the rest of it.”
“Gh… ugh…”
“That’s much more entertaining, isn’t it?”
Sinclair grinned with satisfaction.
“But don’t worry too much about Layla Asweld. I’ve decided to grant her a very generous favor.”
Sinclair’s gaze turned to Layla.
“You, regardless of your parents’ wishes, will become the seventh wife of the extraordinary Duke Hank. I give you my solemn promise.”
Layla, stunned by the trap she had walked into, let out a short, choked “Huh.”
“Wouldn’t this be a happy ending for everyone, Melvin?”
“H-His Royal Highness!”
Kneeling and weeping uncontrollably was Melissa, who had stood frozen.
“I apologize. I dared to act foolishly without knowing my place… I beg you…”
Melissa flailed her hands like a fly.
“I will accept any punishment gladly. But please… only Layla…”
“Ah. You want Layla to be sent to Duke Hank?”
“No! That’s not what I meant!”
Tears welled in Melissa’s eyes, grotesquely large as if from a monster.
“I cannot send Layla… to such a place…”
Her words were muffled by sobs, barely intelligible.
“Forgive… forgive me… I will atone for the rest of my life. With all my heart…”
But Sinclair’s response remained icy. Sensing this, Melissa swiftly changed targets.
Crawling like a dog, she approached Elaina, who stood quietly watching.
She grabbed Elaina’s broken leg and began begging.
“Elaina… please… forgive me…”
“…”
“There are many things we’ve done to upset you. No matter how long it takes, I will apologize until you can accept it. I truly mean it. So…”
But Melissa’s words were cut short.
A sudden, heavy thud echoed from behind.
Sinclair had slammed Melvin directly into the wall.
“Ugh… ugh…”
Melvin groaned, clutching his shattered skull, but his pitiful gesture did not last long.
Sinclair had already seized his hair with brutal force.
“You saw that clearly, didn’t you, Melvin?”
Sinclair’s face, staring down at Melvin as if to kill him, bore no trace of his earlier smile. Only a razor-sharp fury and malice.
“That is what you must do now. Crawl like a dog. Beg like a fly.”
“Hh…”
“Before my patience completely shatters from amusing your insane banter.”
“…”
“Shall I break all three of you limb by limb until not even your shapes can be recognized?”
…You know well, that’s something I’m very good at.
Sinclair’s golden eyes gleamed ominously as he spoke.
And Melvin instinctively realized.
There was now only one thing left he could—and must—do.
“I apologize…”
Melvin bowed his head deeply and choked out a weak voice, as if uttering his final words.
“I apologize… Your Royal Highness…”
“…”
“Everything Your Royal Highness said is correct… I dared… I did not even know my place… I did such things… Even though I knew clearly… that Elaina had become Crown Princess…”
Melvin sobbed.
“And Elaina… I’m truly… sorry…”
No sooner had Melvin finished than Sinclair rose.
“Imprison them all in the mansion, starting today, Schuler.”
Turning to Schuler, he added:
“Until I give permission, none of them may leave this place or speak to anyone. If you disobey my order, behead them where they stand. Do you understand?”
“Yes.”
As Schuler replied, Sinclair stepped forward to Elaina and extended his hand.
“Now, let us attend to our business.”
[My personal guard will come for you. Just know that much. After all, you left belongings behind in the mansion, didn’t you?]It was only now that Elaina understood what Sinclair meant by “our business.”
She stared silently at the large hand before her, faintly smeared with Melvin’s blood.
The mad prince. The vile, despicable Sinclair Butler. The disgrace of Edenbell. A demon-like trash that refused to die even when driven into the abyss.
But no matter his motives, he was the only one who had ever helped her—when she was kidnapped by Duke Hank, and now, at this very moment.
Her blue eyes, filled with Sinclair, swelled like an ocean.
“Yes.”
With a brief answer, Elaina slowly reached out.
“Let’s do it, Sinclair.”
And she took his hand.
At the subtle intimacy of him using her given name, Sinclair smiled.
And together, they began walking toward the mansion.
Adjusting his pace ever so slightly to match Elaina’s slow, limping step.
Thus, Elaina moved forward—limping, yet without hesitation—treading over Layla’s bound hands, crushing the expensive hem of Melissa’s gown, and stepping through the puddle of Melvin’s blood.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him

*
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.
