Becoming the Villain’s Family - Chapter 235
Chapter 235
Sabina had done everything she could to break his will.
She had gone lavish, starved, and was caught by Tristan trying to find an escape route.
Embarrassed, she thrust the sword into his throat. I’ll kill you if you don’t let me go.
‘But rather, he found it more interesting’
Because of that, Sabina had to feel the unpleasant feeling of being a clown. While she was struggling doing all sorts of things, Tristan strangely took no action.
So that’s why she was suspicious.
‘It’s a bet he proposed. He must have been convinced that he could defeat me.’
But why does he not make a move?
Besides, with only a week left he headed to the imperial palace saying that there was something to investigate. Why?
Is he taking it easy?
If not…….
‘Can it be that the reason he left the Grand Duke’s castle during the betting period is to trap me?’
He thought that she might not be able to stand her nervousness and was waiting to run away. The reason would be obvious. It was to make fun of her.
‘He’s someone who could do that’
Whenever Sabina looked at Tristan, he felt like a broken vessel.
A broken vessel could not be restored to its original state even if the broken pieces were put together. Also, nothing could fill the bowl. It’ll leak out and get thrown.
To break the will of such a person?
‘When I face those eyes glistening with madness, all my motivation is broken.’
It wasn’t because she was afraid. It was because he was no match for words.
‘It felt like we’re a different race even.’
If there was a way to get away safely without dealing with him, she would gladly wish so.
‘But it’s too complicated…….’
Sabina actually knew that no matter what she does, Tristan wouldn’t react.
It was obvious. For a madman who doesn’t blink an eye when a sword is thrust into his throat and insists that she would kill him.
Rather…….
“I’m sorry, but I won’t die from this.”
He pressed the blade between his fingertips and pushed it away, licking his smiling lips.
In his playful manner. He looked like he hadn’t even suffered a blow as much to the tip of the hair.
From then on, Sabina was determined.
She should just focus on running away, not dealing with the madman.
‘If I escape safely and avoid being caught, he will give up too.’
He was one who talked nonsense about making Sabina give up because he was too lazy to find a new bride. He’ll give up after looking for a while.
Sabina agreed to give him the added trouble of founding a new bride.
‘…… Even that doesn’t sit well.’
There would be another victim.
‘What is that? Am I in a position to care about others?’
She has to live first.
After finishing her thoughts, Sabina asked Dana, who delivered her the news.
“By the way, isn’t the imperial palace quite far from here? It would take about 15 days just to travel back and forth by carriage.”
“Because there are wizards from the Magic Tower in Valentine. They can get to the imperial palace in an instant with movement magic.”
“I see.”
She had already heard the information from William, the butler. But Sabina asked again, looking surprised as if she was hearing it for the first time.
“Movement magic… how amazing, but don’t you usually take a lot of attendants with you when you go to the imperial palace? I don’t think it’s going to be easy to move a lot of people at once.”
“That’s right.”
Dana must have been worried about that, she said with a deep sigh.
“Originally, the Grand Prince always prefers to go alone when he goes to the imperial palace, but His Majesty told him to come with a reasonable entourage when he comes to ask for an audience.”
The Emperor is an old man……she was familiar with the story that the Emperor was a hard-headed person who valued principle, old-fashioned courtesy, and order.
Count Valois also often complained.
However, the Grand Prince didn’t seem like the type of person who would listen…….
“That’s surprising. I can’t believe I’m hearing that.”
“He said that if he doesn’t listen, it’ll be annoying and they can coexist under the same sky only if he compromises to some extent.”
“That means…”
“Yes, he said he was in trouble because he would be a traitor. He said that if he kills the Emperor, he should become Emperor, but then he’ll just be more annoyed.”
Dana sighed and shook her head. It was a different look from Dana.
Sabina thought of her as a gentle and kind person, but she was very outspoken befitting a Valentine.
“He really hates annoying things.”
The more Sabina got to know Tristan, the more ridiculous he became, but it was for the better.
It was because if Sabina disappeared, he was unlikely to bother to find her.
‘For acting like that, he even made a bet with me, and it seems like he did something quite troublesome for himself.’
Why on earth would he? Sabina wondered, but she decided she didn’t need to wonder anymore.
How could she understand a madman?
He must have done that to trample over her even more.
“Thank you for telling me.”
“Ah, what is that. Then I’ll take my leave. Have a good night.”
“Yes, Dana, have a nice dream too.”
“Oh dear…….”
Dana looked at Sabina with her cheeks blushing for a moment, then smiled and retreated.
Sabina waited until she could not hear Dana’s footsteps.
She quickly pulled the bag from under the bed as a silence came, in which only the sound of wood burning came.
‘I packed everything.’
Just what is needed to escape the Ingo Mountains safely.
‘It’s possible.’
Sabina had to go through a strange thing the other day, where she wandered in the Ingo Mountains, spinning around the same place.
In fact, it was because of the illusion barriers set by the wizards.
‘If they were to cast magic across the entire mountain range, the range would be enormous.’
She didn’t know much about magic, but she did know the laws of the world.
How can they maintain powerful magic In that wide range, with a limited amount of magic. Of course, there had to be a loophole somewhere.
And she got her confidence from Dana’s worried attitude earlier.
‘Moving a large number of people consumes magic and while recovering, other spells will be relatively weak.’
Especially for 24 hours, they might have to keep their guard up.
She had nothing to say if she was asked if this was just a speculation.
Because she was somewhat correct in her guess.
