Becoming the Villain’s Family - Chapter 224
Chapter 224
Dwayne treated Tristan like a human being.
“You need to hide your eyes a little.”
“Were my eyes honest again?”
Tristan flicked his finger with a wry smile.
Then he said to his aide who approached in trembling, strewn on the floor after getting finger flicked.
“I’m looking for him not just because he’s the lover of Lady Valois.”
“Really?”
Dwayne asked doubtfully.
Just from the look on Tristan’s face, it looks like he’s going to grab the knight as soon as he finds him.
“It’s because she’s the support that holds the Lady’s spirit and the driving force that allows her to live.”
“Are you saying that person meant so much?”
If that’s the case, the Grand Prince may never be able to win.
It’ll be hopeless no matter what he does. Even if Tristan were to kill him, the knight will surely live on in the Grand Princess’ heart?
Dwayne asked just in case.
“I don’t know what you’re thinking, but if you were going to put that thought into practice, you’ll be hated by the Grand Princess.”
“Hate? Whatever.”
“What? That… didn’t you want to win her heart?”
Tristan looked at him like Dwayne had said nonsense and replied.
“I will crush her heart.”
“Hee?”
“If I destroy the person who kept her will to live burning in front of her eyes, she will collapse. Wouldn’t she?”
“….”
“And she will fall into my hands.”
Oh my God……. Dwayne swept his face with his hand without a word.
What is Tristan talking about, destroying the will to live of the person he liked and forcefully owns her?
‘Are you going to snap her off like a flower?’
Even if he did something like that, he would have no choice but to watch her dry day by day.
‘Don’t you want to have a happy family, Grand Prince?’
Dwayne wanted to ask that.
Even though Tristan’s life will end much earlier than others.
‘At least for the rest of your time…….’
Wouldn’t it be nice if there were more days where he would smile without reason like today?
He wanted to ask if Tristan wanted to hold in his arms a child born as the fruit of love, not under the grand name of saving mankind.
Doesn’t he want to let his child know love?
But in the end Dwayne couldn’t get it out.
The quick-witted Dwayne knew. Even if he said that, his words would never reach Tristan.
“Stop talking nonsense and go now.”
“……yes.”
He hoped that Tristan would realize this before the situation became irreversible.
Dwayne stepped back, trying to hide his mixed emotions.
Sabina made a bet with the devil.
A bet with her life at stake.
With her life on the line, she had no choice but to win no matter what.
Unfortunately, preparations for the wedding proceeded smoothly as planned.
‘Shit.’
Sabina swallowed the curse words and snagged the diamond necklace from around her neck.
‘Looking like this, I’m really going to get married.’
People came and went in the morning.
They said she was the woman who came from the capital, running the best boutique.
Sabina accidentally found herself fitting a wedding dress for the price of a mansion.
Of course it wasn’t of her will.
“The Grand Prince told me to make it with the highest quality. It’s the same fabric presented to the imperial family.”
Sabina wondered why she should fit into such a play. However, the deadline for the bet was ‘while the two prepare for the wedding’.
That means she has to respond as diligently to the wedding preparation.
“Oh my, you don’t like that necklace?”
The soft voice of Dana, the handmaid in charge of dressing her made her flinch.
As Sabina turned her head, Dana was perplexed, fearing that she had upset the would-be mistress.
“Since your skin is as white and shiny as snow, I thought diamonds would suit you best…”
Dana trailed off her words, “Or how about a ruby that looks just like Miss’ eye? It’s delicately crafted to match the current fashion.”. She held out another necklace.
“That…….”
This won’t do. She has to stand her ground here. She has to raise her voice and make a fuss.
A spacious room, rich decorations and furniture, expensive dresses and jewelry.
All of this is worth her life.
If she accepts it as it is, she will just be a very smooth sacrifice.
But…….
“No, it’s pretty. It’s just because it’s heavy.”
To hurt a sweet and kind person was harder than risking death.
In the end, Sabina ended up putting the diamond back on her neck.
‘Yes, harassing innocent people is something a ruffian like my father or brother does.’
There is someone else she has to act like a ruffian to.
Grand Prince Valentine promises her a more luxurious, splendid and peaceful death than anyone else if she complied and obeyed.
An unscrupulous man who sees his bride as nothing more than a tool or toy.
“By the way… do they usually give you a room this big?”
Sabina was staying on the top floor of the main palace.
Valentine’s Castle was vastly larger than the Valois house, but her room was even bigger.
When Sabina wondered, Dana groaned briefly, ‘Ah’ and she answered.
“This is the room where the Madam who passed away a year ago, stayed. The Grand Duchess.”
Dana was trying to speak calmly, but her eyes were filled with sadness.
In the meantime, Sabina had been pushing everything Valentine-related away, so this was the first time she had heard an inside story.
‘Currently, there is no mistress in this castle.’
Sabina widened her eyes in surprise for a moment, then grabbed her skirt.
The deceased Grand Duchess was Sabina’s very own future.
“She must have been a good master, right?”
Just seeing those eyes.
“How dare a lowly subject dare to evaluate a noble person’s character. But…”
Dana seemed to hesitate for a moment, weighing if she could say this.
But when she faced Sabina’s eyes, who seemed clearer and more upright than a knight, she had no choice but to confess.
“She was so thin, weak, and pitiful.”
“Is that so…….”
“She was closest to death. My efforts could not heal her wounds.”
Sabina only heard those words, but she had a rough idea of what kind of person the Grand Duchess was.
She must have been the person who wanted to commit suicide or a sacrifice that Valentine wanted so much.
Unfortunately.
“Then how about the Grand Duke?”
