Unable To Escape (10 Chapters Left to Complete) - Chapter 99
“I beg Your Highness to protect me within your embrace, so I may safely become a countess.”
Looking into Cheryl’s desperate, reddened eyes, Alicia swallowed the bitter smile threatening to escape.
It was an expression she’d never shown—not even when she herself had been Emperor.
Did this mean Cheryl’s desire was truly that desperate? Or did it imply that her own authority as Emperor had been utterly worthless?
‘Perhaps both.’
Lightly shaking her head to dismiss the memories of her past life, Alicia opened her mouth to Cheryl.
“What would I gain by taking Lady Lewis under my wing?”
“I will do anything you wish, as one of Your Highness’s people.”
Wasn’t one of the fundamental virtues of a merchant knowing precisely when to press forward and when to hold back?
Watching Cheryl remain deferential and carefully gauge her reactions, Alicia pondered what she herself might gain from her.
After a brief moment, however, Alicia realized Cheryl had nothing she could offer.
Unless Alicia were plotting to seize the throne herself—which she wasn’t—nearly everything Cheryl could pledge was already in her possession.
Yet, she didn’t wish to outright reject Cheryl’s plea to become the next Countess of Louis.
Perhaps sensing Alicia’s hesitation?
Cheryl, watching her closely, cautiously spoke again.

The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
Yu Wu rubbed her temples. Putting aside the taboo against bloodshed during pregnancy, wasn’t it this very man who willingly walked into her trap that day?!
