Becoming the Villain’s Family - Chapter 246
Chapter 246
There was no longer any reason to grab him by the collar and snarl at him.
“Um.”
Then, Tristan slightly looked away and reacted awkwardly.
‘Talking nonsense with a relaxed tone and expression now.’
How can people change like this? Unless he ate something wrong, then is he dying?
“Even when you think about it, you realize that it’s strange, right?”
At those words, he let out a short sigh and swept his face.
Strange.
She saw him immediately after waking up, and everything he did was unnecessarily human.
‘A naive human at that.’
The only thing that has changed from before is that Sabina almost died.
Of course, if one overcomes the crisis of death, people around them will usually comfort them and be considerate. But has the Grand Prince even once fallen into the category of ordinary people?
Sabina was lost in thought for a moment, then pointed to Dwayne, who had followed Tristan, and asked.
“Actually, I found out by chance that your aide was deathly ill.”
What? Me? Dwayne was puzzled for suddenly being a terminal patient, but he kept his mouth shut and observed the situation.
Tristan looked towards Dwayne for a moment, then turned his head without hesitation and answered briefly.
“Oh my.”
…… Is that it?
“I will pay you generously for your life, so make sure to hand over work properly before leaving.”
“I thought you would say that.”
“Everyone dies. You will definitely go to hell, so go and get a seat first.”
“That is a novel and vicious joke. But they say there are stages to hell, and I don’t know if I can reach the depths that you will reach. I guess our connection stops at this world.”
Dwayne snapped back as if he was used to it. It seemed to be quite a daily routine to exchange malicious comments.
“Anyway, why did you come here? Go away.”
“You know what, I regret it too. I’ll gladly see myself off.”
The aide bowed and left the room.
‘Your personality hasn’t changed.’
When dealing with Dwayne, he was very much the same as usual.
Sabina watched Tristan’s reaction carefully from start to finish, and then she asked,
“Do you like me?”
It was a bomb-like fastball.
She was not tactless.
It wasn’t her personality to pretend not to know even though she knew. Moreover, Tristan was someone that required no consideration.
‘Of course, I would have not been considerate.’
How much has it been in the past?
Compared to the verbal abuse Tristan had spat so far, this was just a drop in the bucket
“……ha?”
Tristan responded with a smirk.
The attack came without warning, so he was shocked for a moment. He couldn’t say anything.
Did I?
Like you?
The words ‘like’ between ‘I’ and ‘you’ were thrown around separately.
It was just a combination of words that even three-year-olds knew, but it was extremely unfamiliar to Tristan, as if it was the first time he had heard it.
Should he deny that it’s not true?
Or should he just laugh at her and say she was mistaken?
Tristan momentarily wondered what kind of reaction he should make to seem more natural.
And at the same time, he realized. By the time he thought about it, he was already screwed.
“Ha.”
The next laugh he let out was a mockery towards himself.
Tristan, who had a complicated look on his face for a moment, slowly raised his hand to cover his mouth and turned his head.
It felt like if he didn’t do that, something he shouldn’t say would come out.
“Really?”
Sabina stretched out her hand.
Then she grabbed Tristan’s side hair, which was long down to his waist, and tucked it behind his ear.
The lobes that were touched by her fingers began to turn red quickly.
“It’s true.”
Tristan growled viciously, trailing off his words.
Sabina was staring at him who had just become aware of his feelings.
The silent eyes were staring straight ahead.
The bright red color that made Tristan fall in love at first sight did not fall from his face.
“But what can I do? I don’t like you at all.”
“…….”
“Is this an unfamiliar treatment for you?”
Sabina laughed, repeating the exact same line she heard in the carriage on their first meeting.
The corners of her mouth curled up in a seductive curve.
Sabina laughed, showing off her pure white teeth as if it was really fun.
It’s funny.
It was really, really funny.
‘Ah, somehow…….’
It was so strange that he let her go all of a sudden.
The reason he did that was because she had become something he could no longer trample on.
Because she has become infinitely more precious.
“Tristan.”
Sabina softly called his name and tilted her head towards him.
As if they were going to kiss.
Because they were so close, Tristan felt his breathing stop for a moment.
“Are you really going to let me go?”
At that moment.
Sabina read the agitation contained in the shaking gaze. Even the heat he couldn’t hide.
‘I have to stop here…….’
She didn’t want to be involved anymore.
She already got what she wanted.
If she becomes more involved with him, she doesn’t know how things will turn out.
But she doesn’t think the human heart can be cut like that.
‘Are you just going to miss this opportunity?’
It was the moment when she realized that she had gained the upper hand in the relationship.
The hardships she had experienced so far quickly flashed through her mind.
“Looking back….”
Sabina spoke first.
The words came out before she could think.
“When you said that you wanted to be with me until death, I guess it must have been your interest.”
“…….”
“Because Valentine will not be able to escape the fate of death.”
In the end, he meant that he wanted to be together with her until the moment he died.
