The Female Lead Raised The Villain Chapter 157

Reunion with Two Men (8)

“Mary, don't think too hard”.

Nox got up from his seat and stared at the door. He approached her as if he was a little disappointed, grabbed her chin and kissed her forehead lightly.

“I should get going now. I hope no one interferes with our time next time.”

“…Tell me what you want.”

“It's simple, staying by your side.”

“Why?”

Is the reason he's obsessed with her really because of his feelings?

Unbelievable.

“Soul, instead of Arthur, you can give me yours little by little.”

Nox read her thoughts and came up with an answer. Other feelings have indeed arisen for her, but there was no way for her to take her soul now that it was sealed.

A soul was needed to continue to appear and use strength.

“Isn't it good for you and Arthur? Arthur can extend his life as a result, and you can also live until the day you want because of my strength.”

Will a life that does not die be happy?

She didn't dare to answer Nox's question. It was her who had to endure hard to not die, and what Nox handed over in front of her now was so tempting.

“What do I gain when I sign a contract? Besides not dying.”

“I'll protect what you want to protect.”

“Nox, you always speak in a way that you know what I want to protect.”

“Arpen, this country.”

Does it mean that the devil will pretend to be the guardian deity?

She was impressed by Nox's ridiculous conditions. Perhaps he wants to break the seal.

“Nox, you'd better not think about nonsense. Are you sure I won't try to kill you again this time?”

“Do you think humans can kill demons?”

“Of course…”

“You're just a human being, aren't you?”

Nox made a smile. Despair flocked to the behavior of denying what she had done so far. As expected, he was misunderstood.

What Arthur didn't tell her properly may be just because he didn't want to see her disappointed. Either about Mary or about herself.

“I just backed down because I lost my fun. For other fun.”

Nox said as if he had expected this to happen. It was enough to stay that way. She had to admit that there was no place to back down.

All of this was a plan he had made.

Honestly, the conditions he gave her were worth considering.

“Give me time.”

“Of course. It's the same way to call me.”

Nox leisurely disappeared from her sight. As if he had achieved everything he wanted, he had a satisfactory smile on his face.

Arthur suddenly came in after Nox disappeared, but she was already alone in the room at that time.

A state of daze continued throughout the day. Princes from other countries continued to make work to stand out.

“Your Majesty, please save me!”

And the Prime Minister took over all the settlements. His face was as shady as hers. She said, putting down enough documents to cover her face on the desk.

She turned her head to the side and saw the prime minister.

“Fredio. What is this?”

Fredio put one hand on his forehead and sighed. He knows it's Buddhist scriptures, but he was about to resign immediately if she even said something to him.

More than 10 princes came, so there was a lot to pay attention to and work would have doubled.

“Your Majesty, you have to send them back as soon as possible.”

“Are they jumping around? How dare they in the Arpen Empire?”

Fredio looked in trouble at the cold voice. They weren't running wild. But that doesn't mean she let them stay.

knock, knock.

When he heard a knock, Fredio looked like he was crying.

She knows what makes him impatient. Even though they said they would not let the government in place, they could not ignore the banquet and the cost of them because they were holding out in the empire.

“They'll have no choice but to go back soon, so wait.”

“Are you serious?”

The anticipated eyes stared at her with pressure. She shook her hand as if it was annoying.

knock, knock.

She heard a knock again. Fredio greeted her and left the office. If they're going to come all the way to the office…… Is it Arthur?

She said indifferently while stamping the document.

“Come on in.”

“Your Majesty, that is.”

“What's the problem?””

As she was reading down the document, she looked up. She couldn't see because of the documents, so she got up from her seat and looked toward the open door.

It was because it was strange for the mayor to hesitate unlike usual.

“Your Majesty, I'm sorry I came out of the blue.”

But it was not Arthur who approached her and greeted her brightly.

“Prince Persen?”

“Your Majesty seems to be busy, so I came to see you in person.”

Smiling, he saw her stiff face and took a couple of steps back. After greeting with proper courtesy, he sat quietly in a chair.

“Oh! I have no other intentions.”

Prince Persen covered his eyes and said. He turned around as if he wasn't interested in the documents and waited for her answer.

“I hope your Majesty will not scold the servant for letting me in with mercy.”

“It's worth knowing how you think of me.”

She covered the documents and got up from her seat. She sat opposite Persen, who was still blindfolded.

“So, what do you want to say when you come this far?”

At her beckon, the mayor quickly pulled out the tea. She leaned against the chair with a sip of warm black tea. Her head was pounding all day, but it wasn't bad to rest like this.

Persen removed his hand that had covered his eyes with a harmless face.

He turned his head, looked out the window, stood up from his seat, and reached out to her.

“Isn't the weather nice today?”

“So what?”

“You should take a walk with me at least.”

He leaned slightly toward her and whispered low.

“Arthur is outside. The Grand Duke is here. Weren't you curious about his reaction?”

“But I don't have to follow your beat.”

She put down the teacup and got up from her seat. Persen shrugged and went out of the office. Even before the door was closed, Arthur reached out and opened the door.

“Then why don't you take a walk with me?”

“Will the Grand Duke say the same thing?”

He tilted his head and lightly swept down the teacup. Arthur drew a smile on his slightly pale face.

“Because you're so pretty today.”

“So if I said I wanted to be with you, would you do it?”
