Becoming the Villain’s Family - Chapter 247
Chapter 247
For Valentine, who could not escape death from the day they were born, it was perhaps a natural conclusion.
‘It may have been quite a desperate feeling.’
Although in her eyes she looked like the devil grabbing her ankles and pulling her into the swamp.
“Have you ever confessed earnestly?”
“…….”
“Then how will you know if I will change my mind?
Sabina said mockingly.
She slid her hand from where it had been touching his ear and brushed his hard jawline.
Then she grabbed his chin and made him look at her.
Tristan, who had been silent, soon laughed fiercely.
As if it had been blankly dazed for some time, the two eyes staring at her were fluttering like pitch black smoke.
“Are you sure you want to hear it?”
She thought it would hurt his pride and make him tremble with shame.
Or at least angry.
Either run wild like a madman he was.
But Tristan did neither of those.
“I never thought about my feelings. I didn’t even know they existed.”
It looked like it.
Because when Sabina asked him if he liked her, he had a very clueless reaction.
‘Maybe that’s why I want to hear a confession.’
She wanted to see him break down.
She wanted to grab his weakness in her hand.
Actually, she wanted him to be properly hurt. At least as much as she suffered.
Then, it seemed like that would be able to compensate for all the humiliation she had received from the Grand Prince.
So she tried to nod her head without hesitation…….
“Are you saying it’s okay for me to pour out my raw, unpolished emotions on you?”
“…….”
“Once you hear it, I will never let you go. Even after death.”
His next words made the urge to do so disappear.
‘I didn’t expect you to come out like that…….’
Nevertheless, she didn’t expect him to warn her again.
He was, after all, a consistent man.
It’s a waste, but it’s too much of a loss to gamble with the urge to defeat him.
She can’t fall into his grasp just for the sake of holding his leash for a moment.
‘It’s unfortunate, but let’s stop here.’
Sabina raised both her hands to indicate that she had no intention of attacking.
“The joke ends here.”
Joke. Tristan frowned.
His insides felt rather scratched by those words.
“Instead of mocking you, I want to ask for something else.”
Sabina refused the revenge he offered as an apology and was planning to ask for something else in return.
“Find me someone.”
“…….”
“His real name is Allen Castagne. I introduced him to you as a lover, but it was actually a lie. He was my one and only teacher and father figure.”
Tristan made no reply. He just stared at her as if watching her reaction.
“If you find him, I will forget everything you said and did to me.”
The idea of forgetting didn’t sound particularly positive. Forgetting was like nothing.
“What good does that have for me?”
Sabina looked puzzled as if he really didn’t know, and then she answered.
“I won’t hate you.”
What’s wrong with that? Tristan has always witnessed and lived the emotions of fear, disgust, hatred, and murderous intent.
He had nothing to fear or change even if Sabina had such feelings for him.
‘Rather, isn’t it better that you hated me so much that you wanted to kill me?’
It is better to be hated the most than to be nothing. There were times when he thought so…….
“Does this mean you forgive me?”
“That’s right. I forgive you.”
Funny enough, he wanted to be forgiven. Even if that doesn’t change anything.
No, isn’t it actually a loss?
‘What a stupid judgment.’
Does having feelings for others also lead to reduced intelligence?
“Anyway, I’d like you to find Allen.”
Sabina added again as if to emphasize it.
When Tristan gave no answer, he could even read the nervousness in her eyes.
To be looking like that even though she knows she has the upper hand in the relationship.
‘You told me to tell you my feelings…….’
Rather, it was Sabina who revealed such blatant emotions that it was heartbreaking.
It was truly heartbreaking.
‘It’s so heartbreaking.’
At that moment, Tristan was certain.
If Allen had been alive, Tristan would have certainly cut off his lifeline.
He definitely wouldn’t have resisted the urge.
A father figure, whatever.
The fact that he is the only one existence in Sabina, his mere life or death can destroy her soul.
‘I feel like my eyes are going to burn with jealousy.’
After imprisoning Allen in the dungeon, tying Sabina tightly with rope, being crueler than anyone else before her eyes…….
“Tristan?”
Sabina called his name to urge him.
‘Should I say that I killed him?’
He doesn’t want to hurt her and let her out of his grasp forever.
Actually, he wanted to be forgiven for everything.
Between conflicting emotions, Tristan ultimately chose a foolish path.
“I knew Allen Castagne’s whereabouts from the beginning.”
And he announced his death.
