Becoming the Villain’s Family - Chapter 254
Chapter 254
Sabina decided to build a school.
‘Of course, a school exclusively for the children of Roaz is impractical.’
She had the idea of establishing a school that anyone with a thirst for learning could attend, regardless of their background, status, or talents.
To do that, she would need a significant amount of capital and connections, but…..
“You don’t want to ask me for that?”
It was then.
A familiar low voice now woke her from her thoughts.
Was he reading minds now?
“I already said I’d make it the way you want if you give the order.”
Ah, that’s what he meant.
Sabina, who had been startled for no reason, smoothed her expression and replied.
“I have to take care of it now that the interrogator has done a good job.”
“Why didn’t you entrust it to me from the beginning?”
“Well, you’re not as gentle compared to the interrogator. You can’t control your strength, so what if you accidentally kill him?”
Then Tristan’s red lips curved fascinatingly.
“Fair point.”
The word ‘gentle’ came out after closely observing how Count Valois was interrogated from start to finish.
Dwayne, who had been standing by his master’s side, made a disgusted face.
“I thought, Madam, I mean, Miss, was Valentine’s only conscience and reason..…”
The moment Dwayne corrected the address from ‘Madam’ to ‘Miss’ opposite reactions flew in simultaneously.
One side had a bewildered, the eyes shaking. While the other side was so sinister that it felt like an arrow piercing through him.
Sabina quickly regained her composure and responded,
“I’m ruthless only to villains.”
“I, I see.”
Dwayne agreed with her and shot a glance at Tristan, who seemed ready to kill a person.
Aha, so that’s why she was so merciless to the Grand Prince…..
“Does plucking out insolent eyes also fall under the category of villains?”
“You’re already in the category of villains.”
“I’m sorry to hear that. In that case, since I’m already a villain, I feel like doing some villainous deeds.”
Dwayne quickly protected his own eyes with his palm and exclaimed,
“Then I’ll go to the Valois family to handle the rest of the work!”
And then he disappeared in a hurry.
With Tristan and Sabina left alone in an instant, they stared at each other in silence.
An awkward silence settled in.
‘It’s been three months already.’
Tristan had given up on the bet he proposed himself, and Sabina had accepted it without hesitation. At the time, she had only thought of escaping.
However, as Sabina resolved to seek revenge on the Valuois family, their marriage was indefinitely postponed.
‘I didn’t immediately break off the engagement because I needed an excuse to continue staying with Valentine.’
However, even though they had postponed the marriage externally, all of Valentine’s employees had already noticed that Sabina would soon leave him.
For the past three months, Sabina had spent her time peacefully with Valentine.
Since she had already secured the breakup, she could live without any resentment or animosity. It was a tranquil time for her.
‘I didn’t want to admit it but…..’
During her time in Valentine, Sabina had been more herself than ever before. She didn’t need to suppress herself anymore.
Here, she could do whatever she wanted. Surprisingly, she was accepted. She had even plunged a sword into the heart of the head of the family, but they didn’t seem to mind.
‘It doesn’t seem like they treat me well just because of orders.’
The servants looked at Sabina as if she was a hero. Her courage was highly regarded.
Of course, it didn’t mean there were no people who held grudges against her. That’s why this place seemed even more human, unrelated to the devil.
Just a place where people lived.
‘The land of dreams.’
Unfortunately, Sabina found herself increasingly drawn to this devil’s castle.
‘….And above all.’
Sabina stared intently at Tristan.
Tristan smiled smoothly, not avoiding her gaze. She remembered his initial impression, which she had forgotten.
He’s terribly handsome
Tristan was a man who looked like a work of art just by standing still. She even thought that if a famous artist painted his portrait, it wouldn’t look much different that in real life.
‘Now, there’s only the breakup left.’
All she needed to do was destroy the paperwork.
They hadn’t held the wedding ceremony yet, and the marriage certificate had been signed by Count Valois. With the Count now on a path to ruin, there was no one who could stop her from breaking off the engagement.
But Sabina found it hard to bring herself to speak. She wondered about her emotions.
‘Was it regret?’
No way. Sabina instinctively denied.
However, she had to admit it.
‘How he behaves obediently and quietly….’
Sabina thought that she wouldn’t be thirsty for Tristan.
They had started on the wrong foot from the beginning with his nonsense. Yet, she couldn’t deny his charm. He was a man who could make her want to drink even when she knew it was saltwater.
‘It’s fortunate that it was me who was caught.’
Sabina shuddered at the thought of what would have happened if an innocent and naive girl had come as the Grand Princess, unaware of the ways of the world. She knew that they would have withered away day by day because of that man, who didn’t even deny that he was the devil.
‘No, it’s not fortunate at all. ‘
Sabina said, touching her forehead. Her head was pounding. She didn’t find any fortune in having such thoughts.
‘When did it start?’
Was it from the moment he saved her life? Or when he gave up the bet he had won and revealed his true feelings to her?
Or maybe it was from the moment he allowed her to act as she pleased, even if it meant burning him?
If not that….
[Be my will.]
Or perhaps it was from the moment she heard him say to be his thoughts, dreams, and beliefs, even if it was just a hypocrisy.
