The Female Lead Raised The Villain Chapter 156

Reunion with Two Men (7)

“When you tried to get rid of me, I guess I was sad?”

She felt like her body was sinking to the floor with a thud, and it was the same power as then. Her hands trembled as she was overwhelmed and suffocating. She tried to put down the teacup and looked at Nox.

“Just as you tried to do anything to get your hands on what you wanted, I just did the same thing.”

Isn't it natural for her to kill Nox, who killed Carl in front of her eyes, took Arthur's life, and signed a contract?

To protect herself, she had to kill him.

“I'm just sad that I can't kill you. As a result, you appeared again.”

“You must be curious.”

Nox's eyes, which opened her mind, became thinner. She didn't like his smile, still smiling as if he was having fun. She expected that if he could appear again and again, it would be a little ruined.….

“I think you're the reason”.

Arthur is sick. She picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and put it down. The bitter taste of black tea felt unusually bitter.

“You're wrong, Mary.”

Nox lifted the tea cup she drank and shook it slightly to savor the scent.

“To be exact, it's because of you.”

“… What?”

“The reason Arthur is sick.”

Nox's forehead, which took a sip, narrowed. Putting down the teacup, he looked down at the tea and pouted his tongue with a hateful expression.

“All the reasons for Arthur are you.””

Carl also said that. Last time and this time, Nox says she's the cause again. The contract has already been broken, and they are no longer connected.

“Don't spin around and say it properly.”

“Still impatient.”

Nox suddenly clapped with an interesting smile. After getting up from his seat, he came behind her, grabbed her shoulder, bowed his head, and whispered softly around her ears.

“I thought of something fun.”

“I want to tear you to death right now.”

Nox did not budge at the life he revealed without hiding it. He shrugged as if he were familiar with it, stepped back and sat on the bed.

She got up from the chair and stared at Nox, who was staring at her.

'I have no intention of telling you.'

She could see clearly what he was thinking, and he must be thinking about something else. She thought she could hear the sound of his eyes rolling.

“No matter what you think, I don't want to listen.”

“You're the one who'll be disappointed.”

Nox tilted his head to the side, turning his hair back. A grin clenched his fist at his smile.

“Was he the prince Persen?”

“… Since when have you?”

He watched everything from the beginning. Since the names of the ten princes who attended the banquet flowed from Nox's mouth.

“Mary, don't you think I'm better than them?”

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

It was not worth listening to. After expanding her impression, she glanced at Knox. There was an invisible wall between Nox and her.

'You must be scared that I might kill you.'

“No, my lower limbs are important.”

Nox shook his head and said, perhaps reading her thoughts.

“I feel dirty, so don't read what I think.”

“I can see it even if I don't read it.”

Nox hummed with a deeper smile.

“Did Prince Harun dance with you longer than Persen?”

He smoothed his chin by saying the prince's name she doesn't remember either. Turning the chair toward Nox and sitting down, she crossed her legs and smiled.

“Isn't everything better than you?”

In terms of face, body, and everything.

Nox's eyebrows, who understood what she meant, wriggled subtly.

“This is disappointing.”

Nox still stared at her with a distorted expression, perhaps she hurt his pride. His slow-moving hand soon lightly swept his chin.

“You talk like you know me without even trying.”

She looked at Nox and smiled. She just didn't intend to match Nox's rhythm.

She doesn't have to sit face to face with him unless he's going to tell her what she wants.

“I'm holding my breath. Why did you show up?”

No one welcomes him.

He smacked his lips bitterly as if he understood what she had not said until the end. He crossed his legs and put his chin on the same position as her.

“Are you going to leave it as it is?”

“It doesn't matter.”

Nox seemed to want her to be shaken by his words, and it wasn't her who would do exactly what he wanted. As soon as she looked at Nox without saying a word, he raised his hands.

It was a gesture of kindness as if he would take a step back.

“I'll tell you what you want.”

“Without paying?”

To be honest, it's been a long time since he appeared in front of her. She thought Knox might want something ridiculous again or put her in danger again.

But if she rejects Knox's offer, Arthur…….

She closed her eyes. Unfortunately she doesn't want him to die.

“Arthur's death is just around the corner.”

“Lies.”

Nox's calm attitude was uneasy. Her eyes shook and her heart beat hard. Arthur really dies?

“What do you think Arthur gave me all this time?”

She suddenly remembered a bead. It is a bead that contains Mary's soul and life. Arthur must have been related to beads coming out of Nox's mouth.

'…Soul.'

Arthur must have given Nox a soul. Because he has never been loved by any other than herself while meeting numerous Mary.

In the first place, if Mary didn't love Arthur from the contract, it was like a bet.

Arthur would not easily give up and continue to do it, and the number she knew was enormous.

Nox kept him alive because the contract continued with him. Not only was he enjoying this bet, but he didn't lose anything.

Nox folded his eyes and smiled with his big eyes. The corners of his mouth fluttered as if what she noticed was the answer.

“Mary, what I want is not that difficult for you.”

“It's not a difficult thing…….”

“Even if it's difficult, you'll have to do it.”

For Arthur.

The unknown tension between her and Nox hovered around the room. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't see any other answer.
