The Female Lead Raised The Villain Chapter 134

Misunderstanding and Mixed Feelings (8)

Nox's one hand grabbed her wrist and changed their position. Leaning against the door, he locked her up with both hands and faced her, and Nox folded his eyes and smiled.

“You can't seduce them so roughly. You didn't have a heart, but what you just did was a little cool.”

Looking at Nox's close face, he popped out his wrist. Thinking of the contract she had with him, she opened her eyes wide and raised one corner of her mouth.

When Nox's hand slightly rubbed her wrist, the pattern disappeared in an instant.

Nox laughed again at the distorted gaze. He spoke in a low voice.

“The contract is limited to a place, Mary.”

“So it's no use here, but feel safe.”

Nox nodded his head to the side, withdrawing his locked hands. She stepped out of him with a calm look and stood tall.

“Now I want to do it too. When you approach me on your own.”

“It won't happen, so don't hold your hopes or expectations.”

He passed by and opened the door. She could feel Nox's perspective sticking behind her, but she didn't want to look back.

With the sound of Nox's footsteps approaching, he hugged her from behind and bowed his head, feeling the breath in her ear.

“I'm also hurt.””

“… What?”

“Even a devil gets hurt.”

“You killed me so thoroughly and I hurt you?”

She turned around and faced Nox. His eyes looked a little teary. But she can't believe anything. Especially if it's related to Nox.

While she didn't even know what he was thinking about doing to her. Is it really to get her attention?

“Nox, if you wanted my attention, you should have signed a contract with me.”

If he had, she would have given even little attention. If she had held his hand as if she didn't know when he first approached her, it wouldn't have been like now.

Now that she knows what kind of contract Arthur and Nox signed, there is no reason to find him.

“You're not going to tell me how to break the contract anyway, are you?”

“Unfortunately, yes. Now that you know what the contract is, you'll leave him.”

She stepped back away from Nox's arms. Nox's words to her so far passed through her mind one by one.

She remembered the words that said this place resembles him and that he said not to love Arthur.

'Why… Why doesn't it end even though I fell in love?'

Obviously, at that time, she thought it might be over if she fell in love. Perhaps it is also the illusion that Nox has brought about.

“See? I told you to love me.”

“I don't want to see you again.”

“You'll see me again, Mary.”

She closed her eyes and closed the door because she thought it would work out as he said. He left the room by opening the door after leaving the word 'hello' in his mouth.

Soon, she heard the words 'the end of the castle' in her head. She found Carl right away. She had to get out quickly before night came.

Boom, boom, boom.

“Open the door Carl.”

When she rushed to visit Carl, surprised Carl opened the door. Upon entering his room, there were traces of preparation to return to the Imperial palace with documents.

Perhaps because of her who suddenly entered the room, Carl's eyes were a little embarrassed.

“…… Is something wrong, Princess?”

Carl approached her and looked at her complexion. Her face quickly hardened, perhaps because she was bothered from before. After checking if the door was closed well, he took her to the chair and let her sit.

Carl, who sat on his knees and looked at her carefully, stared at her, holding the glass of water in his hand.

“Right now, I'm leaving here.”

“If it's hard to say, I won't ask. But it's hard to leave the castle right now.”

“Is it because there's no carriage?”

“That's the same…… I don't know about this place properly, so I don't know what kind of danger is lurking at night. We didn't find out everything that was happening in the castle, did we?”

He calmly told her with a worried look. She has already learned the secret of the castle that Carl spoke of.

In addition, she heard everything about Vivlant, but she couldn't tell him. If she does that, she might get Carl involved.

'The end of the castle.'

She remembered what she heard in her head.

“Let's go to the end of the castle.”

“Did you really decide to leave?”

“Carl, you said you believed in me.”

“Yes, I believe in you.”

“Then just follow my words. You have to get out before you go to sleep.”

If they wait until the morning, they don't know how Arthur will come out, so they can't let go until then. Somehow, she thought she could hear the second hand of the clock from her ears.

She headed carefully to the end of the castle. When she saw the guard, she held her breath and took a step. After a certain point, she couldn't see anyone.

“Princess, there's a carriage over there.”

“……Nox.”

The wagon, prepared as if it was ready, was uncomfortable, but it was not time to argue about this and that. Even if it's a trap Nox dug, she has no choice but to use it.

“What are you doing? Are you not going to….”

When she got on the wagon, the wagon began to move quickly despite the absence of a horseman. Carl and her face hardened at the same time, but soon they lost consciousness.

“…I'm not used to it even though I know it.”

“Princess, are you okay?”

“Yeah, it's not surprising at all.”

Her face was distorted by her throbbing head. Maybe she escaped with the help of Nox.

When the Grand Duke's carriage entered the Imperial palace, the guards welcomed her. She got off the wagon and headed straight to her father.

The other day, she sent a letter saying that she would visit soon after the arrangements with the families, but she didn't know she would come so soon. It seemed the same for her father.

“Mary, you came earlier than I thought.”

“I didn't know I would come like this either. I'm going to stay in the Imperial palace from now on.”

“It seems like the Grand Duke didn't come with you.”

Her mouth was firmly closed by her father's words. How should she explain it?

As long as she is away from him, she'll die? She has to go back to live? She can't say that from the beginning, her life is dominated by their bets.

“And I'm going to break the engagement.”

“Mary, I don't understand what you mean.”

“Father, I don't have much time. So from now on, we have to move fast.”

Tick-tock, tick-tock. The clock kept ringing in her ears.
