Chapter 215.2
“I was worried that I might genuinely be hated. Phew, thinking about it now, there was nothing difficult at all.”
Leticia said.
“When I felt hated by Cedric, I was so shocked mentally. Using about 85% of my brain on this made my conclusion slow.”
Cedric pulled at Leticia’s collar.
“You want me, Cedric. Ah, it’s not baseless confidence. You know, I know.”
Leticia grinned.
“You’ve imprinted on me.”
No matter which world or time, there’s only one constant, ‘Lykanthrope’s Imprint.’
“You’re wrong,” Cedric said. “I hate and resent you.”
“…Why?”
“Because you’re my enemy. For our connection, you’re too fragile.”
“…”
“But I want you so much that I want to tear you apart. I’m obsessed with you, who filled my life with hatred. I want to keep you in my hands until you break.”
Cedric said.
“Damn it, I want you. I hate you so much that it becomes my life’s goal. When I think of you, killing or causing pain to someone doesn’t feel real. Yes, I want you so much.”
After saying this, Cedric wore a puzzled expression.
‘I see. If only Cedric’s obsession remains, and there’s a difference in status, and if our families are intertwined with grudges, our relationship might turn twisted.’
Leticia thought, quite shocked. But she wasn’t completely out of her senses.
“But Cedric,” Leticia whispered. “Even after hearing all that, I still love you.”
“…”
“That’s the only response I have for you.”
“You know what will happen to you if you say that to me, right?”
“I don’t care.”
Leticia blinked and pushed Cedric’s shoulders.
“If it’s Cedric, it’s okay. It’s okay to be a bit broken.”
Cedric looked shocked, as if…
‘He’s been struck by lightning and gold at the same time.’
“Will you accept my deduction?” Leticia chuckled.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door.
“Your Majesty, how is the interrogation proceeding? Should I call the royal wizard?”
A rough voice from outside the door. It was Vince’s voice.
Leticia’s smile faded.
Shall we move on to the main game now?
“Shh.”
Leticia put a hand on Cedric’s mouth.
“If you open your mouth again, I’ll kiss you.”
Leticia said.
‘Ah!’
Those words seemed to have blown away Cedric’s sanity. And as Cedric’s touch grew rougher…
With a quick motion, Leticia pierced Cedric’s neck with a torture needle she had hidden.
“Lee!”
“Don’t worry. You’ll just fall asleep for a while. Cedric, you taught me needle techniques.”
My boyfriend is skilled in medical techniques; he’s really smart.
Leticia thought.
‘Shall we proceed to the second deduction, the main game?’
Leticia gently seated the unconscious Cedric, who was lying on the desk.
“Your Majesty! I’m coming in!”
Vince opened the door and entered.
He saw Cedric collapsed and Leticia sitting on the desk, smiling playfully.
“What’s this…”
“Shut up and listen, Vince.”
As Leticia seated Cedric, she discreetly took out a small knife she had concealed.
“I’ll tell you the code.”
At that moment, Leticia noticed the fluctuation in Vince’s eyes.
‘I got it right today. Hit the bull’s-eye.’
Indeed, my deductions are always on point.
“Ah, I can’t do this. My Dad taught me not to light things with suspicious people.”
For a dubious person like you, the only gift is a weapon.
“No, no, I don’t want to answer.”
And Leticia swiftly slashed at Vince’s throat.
With a groan, Vince fell to the ground.
Leticia carefully observed Vince’s corpse.
Vince’s face transformed into one Leticia was familiar with.
‘Yes, I was right.’
And Vince turned to dust, disintegrating like sand.
Leticia slowly approached. All that remained of Vince was a single bronze bead.
Leticia picked it up with a sly smile.
