Unable To Escape (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 43
After a long while, Riley finally lifted his head and looked at Alicia with eyes full of resentment.
There had certainly been a time when he’d looked down on Alicia slightly and ignored her, but that was in the past—now, Riley held goodwill toward her.
Yet, of all things, she had revealed information about the Black Beasts through her lie….
‘If His Majesty finds out, I’m finished. No—before that, will I be killed by my father? But what frightens me most is Crown Prince Adrian’s reaction….’
Barring any extraordinary events, Adrian would undoubtedly become the next occupant of the imperial throne.
What would happen if he, who tended to overprotect Alicia even more than the Emperor himself, learned of what had transpired here today?
Though Riley couldn’t be certain, one thing was clear: the moment he stepped onto the political stage, an exhausting and bleak future would inevitably unfold before him.
Sighing deeply, Riley shook his head and spoke toward Alicia.
“Your Highness, please—you really must keep what I just told you a secret. If this reaches His Majesty or His Highness the Crown Prince, I’ll be dead. I’ll truly die.”
“Would Father really kill you, considering how dearly he cherishes Viscount Riley?”
“Even if I survive His Majesty’s hand, I fear I’ll soon perish by the Crown Prince’s—hence my worry.”
“….”
“…Why aren’t you refuting that?”
“I’ll keep your secret, so don’t worry.”
At her repeated promise, Riley clutched his head again.
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).
5. Enter with caution if you have triggers!!!
Especially since she’s a princess. If only her brother had seen him, what would have happened to Riley!
Why is Killion showing so much interest now. This line is for someone who is madly in love with a woman.(>‿♥)
This is where the misunderstanding begins. Couldn’t Killion have been honest with himself and said that he bought it specifically for Princess Alicia. （◞‸◟）
