“…How do you plan to send me away? Even if I do as Lenisha says, I am a captive of the emperor. How can I leave this place? The emperor’s eyes are on me.”
The more Hailin spoke, the darker his expression became.
In the end, Hailin was destined to sink like a ship hitting a reef in this place.
He wouldn’t be able to protect Brixton, nor could he embrace Isabella.
Those who would suffer in Hailin’s place if he escaped were not few.
Including Lenisha in front of him.
Lenisha was the guide to their path.
With Lenisha, what they did had meaning.
Hailin couldn’t ruin what Brixton wanted.
Brixton might leave, but if there was a chance to fulfill what he desired…
At least Hailin couldn’t interfere with that.
“The emperor might harm Lenisha.”
Hailin lowered his head.
“I can’t leave.”
Lenisha faintly smiled.
“I thought you would say that. However, I didn’t bring up this topic without any plan.”
Lenisha continued with a gentle smile.
Still, Lenisha’s legs were trembling, but that was hidden under her voluminous skirt.
So Lenisha’s fear and despair weren’t revealed.
As long as it continued not to be revealed.
Lenisha clenched her fist, stood firm with all her might.
“What Lexar needs is a hostage to keep me in check. Unfortunately, Lexar is obsessed with me.”
“…”
Hailin agreed with that part too.
“Lexar must have heard about Hiloshine’s change. He must be considering that I might move. Even if I try to exchange hostages, he won’t threaten me.”
“Exchanging hostages…”
“Don’t worry about that part either. There is always a way to find an answer.”
Lenisha smiled slowly.
Hailin stared at Lenisha with an uneasy expression.
“Touri will come in instead of Hailin.”
Hailin made a surprised expression.
“Is it related to Madam Touriel?”
Lenisha nodded.
Only then did Hailin show a relieved expression.
Having sent away Hailin, Lenisha made a sardonic expression.
‘Henry…’
She knew that that scum would betray them someday.
Even during their time in the palace, he couldn’t get rid of his opportunistic side.
“Curses.”
Lenisha muttered.
All kinds of curses she knew passed through her mind.
Henry committed the same despicable act this time too.
He attacked the youngest and weakest one.
Those who are strong from the beginning don’t even consider touching them.
Lenisha sat hesitantly on the sofa.
The fear and terror she had hidden surged. Her fingertips trembled delicately.
“…Brixton.”
In truth, she wanted to follow Hailin.
Even just once, she wanted to hold Brixton’s hand.
I wanted to capture the faces of the brothers whose departure time was uncertain.
Lenisha’s shoulders trembled. A silent cry echoed in her mouth.
“Please… don’t die.”
Lenisha’s voice was soaked with tears.
“Miss, are you alright? Have you had a meal?”
Therian asked with a pale face.
Helena, who had been standing with her mouth shut, nodded.
“…Helena. I don’t know why your face looks like you’re dying. Is the lady’s condition really bad?”
That was true, but the emotions swirling around Helena were different.
“…Is it really Master Henry behind this incident?”
She asked with a hoarse voice.
Jane, standing by her side, glanced up at Helena.
“Yeah.”
“Well, I guess so.”
Helena bowed her head.
Helena’s neck, now noticeably thinner than before, was exposed.
Jane held Helena’s hand.
Lately, Helena had been tormented by intense guilt.
“Therian, if… if Master Henry hadn’t lost his eyes, would this have happened?”
Jane asked in place of Helena. Jane had an uneasy expression.
“I don’t know. But what’s certain is that Master Henry would have abandoned us at any time, not just now. He’s fundamentally that kind of person, so what can we do?”
Therian sighed.
“It’s not Helena’s fault.”
Helena clenched her fist.
Everyone comforted Helena with nice words like that.
But ever since hearing that Brixton was wandering in a dire situation, she couldn’t regain her composure.
Everything seemed to have happened because of Helena’s mistake.
Helena raised her head.
“Please let me go to the imperial city.”
“Helena!”
“Send me to Lady Lenisha, Therian.”
Helena swallowed her saliva.
It seemed like the sense of responsibility Brixton had was infecting Helena.
“What does that mean?”
“I will go there. I didn’t properly fulfill the mission Lady Lenisha entrusted to me.”
Helena spoke with a moist voice.
Pale Jane tried to hold Helena, but it was futile.
“If that’s the case, can you do something if you go to the capital?”
Helena dropped her head.
“I don’t know. But isn’t there a more useful place than here?”
“Helena!”
Jane called out to Helena with a desperate voice.
Now Helena was trying to go and die.
To die comfortably as I wished…! Jane lowered her head.
“Don’t, don’t do that. Don’t send her, Therian. Helena can’t go without me…”
“…If she wants to go, let her go.”
But Therian behaved as if he didn’t hear Jane’s voice.
“Don’t send me to the island, Helena. Try to find a purpose as you said.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Helena nodded dully.
Male lead reborn without memories — but he still falls for her.
The person he finds displeasing in this life turns out to be his cherished wife-master in previous life…
Xie Zhi and Fang Xianxing who had known each other for less than three days through a blind date sat in the same car in front of the civil affairs bureau. They had a disagreement and failed to get married.
Xie Zhi immediately took out his phone, slid through his contacts, and randomly selected the next marriage candidate.
The woman snatched his phone and hung up. Looking at his phone wallpaper, she awkwardly changed the subject: “An ancient painting, eh? It looks pretty good, it’s just that the person in the painting looks a bit like me.”
When he heard this, he sarcastically mocked her for being so delusional, completely unaware that, the person in front of him was the reincarnation of Wen Ru, the famous prime minister of Yuan Shun whom he most admired…
