It was a life of poverty they had never experienced before, but it was much more comfortable than hiding and living under Lexus’s bladelike gaze in the past.
What weighed heavily on their hearts like a stone was only the death of the Rotera Duke couple and the lost Isabella.
Meteo left, and Heilyn grabbed Brixton’s arm.
“I didn’t send her…. I didn’t send her that way.”
“Heilyn…….”
“I can’t sleep thinking she might really get hurt.”
Heilyn’s voice trembled thinly.
Brixton embraced Heilyn.
“We will be able to repay everything, Heilyn. My parents never raised Rotera, Lenisha, and me weakly. Lenisha is preparing for us and Rotera.”
Heilyn nodded.
Their sole purpose in risking their lives was to see Lexus pay for everything.
(This is a time separator.)
Meteo went straight to the Imperial Palace.
He had heard that there had been a commotion in the Imperial Palace not long ago.
The nobles had hosted the Emperor’s wedding, and thanks to the crying and wailing Canary who was insulted there, the baby almost miscarried.
Canary used it as an excuse to lie down.
Despite the government’s sweet tantrum, Lexus did not budge.
Canary would end up having a wedding worse than a lowranking noble of Hientry.
‘Swallowing others’ things always ends in a mishap.’
Meteo snickered and said to the palace master.
“I have come to see Emperor Peha.”
“……Please wait.”
The palace master sought Lexus’s permission, and the heavy door opened.
Meteo entered unwillingly.
“Oh, Prince Meteo. It’s been a long time. I hear you’ve been enjoying Hientry so far?”
“Yes, Your Majesty. Thanks to your grace, I have been enjoying the abundance of Hientry. I have seen and learned a lot.”
“That’s fortunate. I hear you are looking for a bride?”
There was a gleam in Lexus’s eyes.
“That’s a good idea. Considering the friendly relations between Shamdir and Hientry.”
Meteo glanced at the incense burner beside Lexus.
A nauseating smell to deceive the stomach was coming from there.
‘Drunk on drugs in broad daylight.’
Meteo regulated his breath.
Lexus’s slurred speech seemed strange…….
Meteo barely hid his contempt.
“Yes, but I have yet to find a young lady with whom my heart resonates. My parents want to see me, so I think I should go back now.”
“What a shame. If you have the chance, just speak up anytime, anytime. No matter which damsel, I will present her to you.”
Lexus laughed with a face full of madness.
“The journey back should be comfortable, shouldn’t it?”
At that moment, he felt a chill for no apparent reason.
“Thank you for your concern. On my way back, I plan to visit Lady Lenisha.”
“A long way to return, will it be?”
“I think it would be good to greet her before going. If I return like this, I will receive a severe scolding from the Emperor.”
“Ha ha. It seems Lenisha has set a good trap in Shamdir by saving the youngest princess.”
With an insulting remark, Lexus knew no fear.
A face that knew no one could harm him.
Absolute power.
Hientri had shown its strength by achieving an impossible victory against the Kingdom of Perisen.
Thanks to that, all countries were watching Lexus’s mood, so everything seemed to be his.
Meteo smiled faintly.
“Then I take it as your permission.”
“Ah. Since you said you are going to see Lenisha… Well, can you also deliver my gift?”
“A gift…you say?”
Lexus stood up from his seat.
His purple eyes sparkled strangely.
Meteo couldn’t read the emotions hidden within.
A madman and an emperor whose intentions were unknowable.
Lexus was indeed a dangerous person.
‘I must be careful to see if there is a tail following me.’
Lexus gestured, and the servant brought a box.
The servant opened the box in front of Meteo.
Inside were bloodstained clothes.
“This, this is…”
“There are ones that Lenisha is desperately looking for. These are the traces I found. If they bled this much, that little child must surely be dead, don’t you think? Since she’s looking for them, I have to find them. It’s a husband’s duty, isn’t it?”
Lexus burst into laughter, and Meteo swallowed dryly.
It was definitely Isabella’s clothes.
Meteo closed the lid of the box and bowed deeply.
“I will…deliver it.”
“Ah, wait, there are more things to take. I found the things Lenisha used to wear. It seems Lenisha looked at me with hatred. Seeing that she left behind even the things I gifted her.”
Two servants appeared with a large box.
Inside were jewels that Lenisha had worn in the past.
Gleaming glamorously on her body.
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).
