ushernet Chapter 15
Chapter 15
‘She’s probably furious right now.’
Lilia was likely at the academy in the capital. If she found out that Lindsey had stayed in her room even for a day, she would be very angry.
But she wouldn’t show her emotions openly.
Lilia liked people to see her as pure and innocent.
‘Everything is a bother. I want to go home.’
Her home. She wanted to return to Korea, to the place where her comrades were.
Knock, knock.
At that moment, Lindsey turned her head at the sound of a knock.
“Come in.”
As soon as Lindsey granted permission, the door opened. A maid, trembling, looked at Lindsey.
‘It seems the rumors have spread.’
She didn’t remember all the servants’ faces. Her time at the Marquis of Kesion’s household was a distant memory.
The servants always ignored her. But the reaction of the maid in front of her was clearly one of fear.
‘None of the servants were on my side anyway. They must be reacting like this because they feel guilty.’
It was harder to find a servant who hadn’t harassed Lindsey. Now that they knew she had manifested divine power, they must be afraid of retribution.
“Miss Lindsey. The Marquis has asked you to come to the meeting room when you wake up.”
Up to this point, it was as she had expected.
But Lindsey’s expression turned incredulous at the maid’s next words.
“And Kenyan Radian has arrived. He says he will attend the meeting.”
At that moment,
Lindsey, who had been looking out the window, made eye contact with someone.
A man with dazzling blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. As the maid said, it was Kenyan Radian.
There he was.
Kenyan’s gaze was fixed directly on Lindsey. Her face twisted with displeasure as she stood by the window.
It seemed the news of her awakening divine power had spread widely.
Even to the Radian household.
Lindsey sighed and spoke to the maid.
“Please leave for a moment.”
Her head ached.
‘Why is that guy here?’@@@@
As soon as she solved one problem, another one came to bother her.
‘No, no.’
Lindsey decided to think positively.
‘It’s still better than seeing Sylvia, right?’
Dealing with Kenyan was better than dealing with Sylvia. At least he didn’t go out of his way to harass her. He merely ignored her and hurled insults.
And after all, the annulment of her engagement to Azhet was already planned.
‘It can’t be undone now...’
The annulment papers had already reached the Marquis of Kesion a long time ago.
Now that Klein knew she had awakened divine power, there was no way he would send her to the Radian household.
He also found Sylvia troublesome.
‘Maybe Sylvia is up to something.’
She was known for her bizarre antics.
“What an unpleasant guy.”
Kenyan continued to stare at Lindsey without looking away. Lindsey, too, glared back at him. For some reason, she didn’t want to lose to Kenyan in anything.
‘What’s with that expression?’
Kenyan’s expression was strange.
He looked angry, yet there was something complex about his face. Lindsey leaned against the window and looked down at him.
When Lindsey Kesion, she always had to look up at those people.
How could a person be like that?
How could someone look so indifferent in a moment that could lead to their death...
A thought crossed Kenyan’s mind, causing him to frown.
“Lindsey Kesion, you...”
“......”
“Are you that sad about breaking off the engagement with my brother Azhet?”
Lindsey slowly turned her head.
Her face contorted with disbelief at Kenyan’s absurd words.
She couldn’t understand how he could think that.
Was she trying to die because she was sad about breaking off the engagement with Azhet?
‘This guy is really...’
Lindsey shook her head.
“My head already hurts, don’t spout nonsense.”
“So you made a big fuss about the annulment and then came back because you still liked him?”
“......”
“Ha!”
“......”
“There’s no one in this family who likes you, but if you still liked my brother, why did you come back?”
Lindsey held her head with one hand.
She couldn’t stand listening to Kenyan’s nonsense any longer. Even if she denied it, he wouldn’t believe her.
Conversations should be held with reasonable people.
“Thanks for saving me.”
“......”
“But your nonsense is really unpleasant.”
Lindsey pushed against Kenyan’s body.
The feel of his excessively hot body holding her like a restraint made her skin crawl. His unusual heat made it even more uncomfortable.
But Kenyan didn’t budge.
“Let me go!”
Lindsey frowned at him. Nothing good had come from returning to this world.
The worst part was being in Kenyan’s arms and that he had no intention of moving.
‘No, it’s annoying that this guy caught me like this.’
Kenyan’s misunderstanding was even more terrible. Lindsey looked at him, unwilling to let her go, and spoke.
“Is this funny to you? Do you think this is a good show?”
“What?”
“Yeah, you’re right. No one in this family likes me.”
“......”
“But... was it any different there?”
Kenyan’s face twisted. What a ridiculous woman.
She was angry after being saved?
Kenyan’s eyes turned red with rage.
He couldn’t contain his boiling anger. Kenyan moved closer to Lindsey, looking like he was ready to devour her.
“Why don’t you just honestly ask for help?”
“Ask for help?”
“Yeah, if you beg for help, maybe who knows.”
“......”
“You begged my brother, didn’t you? Begged him not to break off the engagement. Said you didn’t want to go back home.”
“......”
“If my brother breaks off the engagement with you, I might save you? So why don’t you just be honest?”
“You... Are you seriously suggesting that you’d marry me if I break off the engagement with Azhet?”
TL/N: This novel is literally soo frustrating. I don’t have words to say.
