The Villain's Redemption Chapter 208 More Suffocating

Chapter 208 More Suffocating

Lucinia couldn't help but remember Ca.s.sandra's pure and gentle eyes every time she looked at her. Of course, she was perfectly aware that she couldn't do anything but go with the flow. After all, she wasn't the new lead or the new villain. Lucinia was nothing but a pa.s.serby— a good pa.s.serby.

"So… how are you going to spend your vacation?"Lucinia sounded so excited, even Mo Li thought she was sincere. "Are you going to travel?"

"I— " Ca.s.sandra blushed as she lowered her head. "We haven't thought of anything… for now. When I woke up… the first thing that I thought was expressing my gratefulness to you." She gave Lucinia a tight-lipped smile.

"Well… your highness it seems that your wife wanted to spend some time with my wife before spending some time with you?" Mo Li chimed in before drinking the blood from the wine gla.s.s. Both Ca.s.sandra and the prince also have the same wine gla.s.s.

Prince Gavril only glared at him in response. Seeing this, the Duke beamed and held his gla.s.s towards the Prince. "We should drink to your new marriage. I remember this wasn't your first, no?" Mo Li didn't hide the mockery in his tone. To him, men who aren't loyal to their wives do not have a place on this planet.

"Your grace…" Prince Gavril greeted his teeth. "You are older than me… I presumed this is not your first marriage too? After all, you were not originally from this place, no?"

"Wrong." Mo Li answered with confidence. He sent him a mocking smile. "This is my first and last. I have always been a man of honor, someone who values my word. Even in death… and beyond."

"How poetic." Prince Gavril could only grit his teeth in silence. He couldn't really refute Mo Li's words as he doesn't know where this man came from. "But love is a very fragile thing… isn't it? One day you feel it… the next day… you don't. It is mysterious. I would suggest you stop saying things like first and last. After all, we, vampires live a really long life. We can't really tell when our feelings would change, no?"

"Hah! What a cruel thing to say when you are sitting next to your bride?" Mo Li laughed. "What do you think… Miss Ca.s.sandra? Do you think what you have with the Prince was fragile and temporary?"

"I didn't say it was temporary!" the Prince hissed. "I said— "

"No matter." Mo Li waved his hand, nonchalantly. "I was asking Miss Ca.s.sandra a question, your highness. Everyone here was aware that we hated each other, but we can always act like civil, educated men, yes?" His words created a huge lump in Gavril's throat. He glared at Mo Li before downing the blood in his gla.s.s.

"I don't think it is fragile," Ca.s.sandra answered, almost meekly, it would make anyone think that she was a soft and gentle vampire. "And I don't think it was temporary."

"You are only seventeen no?" Of course, Mo Li wasn't done humiliating the prince.

"Yes, your grace.'

"Hah… your highness." He sent another mocking smile towards the dark-faced Gavril. "I certainly didn't think that you would fall for someone… so young. But of course, Miss Ca.s.sandra suited you very well. Kind and gentle, beautiful and soft. She was the exact opposite of you. We all know how opposites attract, right?"

While listening to Mo Li's sharp words, Lucinia could only clap her hands inwardly. Who would have thought that the man could speak like this? She really wanted to bow down to her own husband. The man was so good with his mouth! She is loving it!

Prince Gavril was about to say something when one of the servants came inside the living room and whispered something to Mo Li's ears.

"Ah? Prince Kuzma and Zacharia are here?" Mo Li feigned surprised as he looked at Prince Gavril's face. "Why would they suddenly arrive without letting us know ahead of time?" He dramatically clicked his tongue and shook his head. "Alright… you let them in. Prepare a few more wine gla.s.ses with blood." He uttered before looking towards Gavril. "I'm sure, your highness wouldn't mind the company of another prince, right?" He gave a harmless smile that almost made Prince Gavril explode from rage.

For some reason, the Prince felt that this was all deliberate! He felt that this was all Mo Li's plans! He clenched his jaws as he glared at Mo Li.

Contrary to the current thick atmosphere, Lucinia was not feeling any sense of suffocation or anything for that matter. Her mind was thinking of a different thing. First was Ca.s.sandra's arrival which doesn't really make sense she just got married to the Prince. Why would she spend some time riding a carriage just to thank Lucinia? Unless… she already knew that Prince Kuzma will come here? She looked at Ca.s.sandra's innocent face, wondering what the woman was planning.

Slowly, her gaze drifted towards the door. Lucinia's gaze landed towards Prince Kuzma and Zacharia who, looked a little… spent. Of course, this should be because of the beating that he got from the 'mysterious' person. The two walked next to each other, clearly showing that they treated each other as equals instead of a servant and a royalty.

"Your highness…" Prince Kuzma's face instantly turned sour when he saw his older brother. "Fancy seeing you here."

"Hmmm." Prince Gavril nodded, his face was still stone cold. It immediately made Lucinia wonder if this man had some face paralysis or something like that.

"And who is this?" Prince Kuzma looked at Ca.s.sandra. After a quick introduction from Prince Gavril, Kuzma and Zacharia sat opposite his brother and his wife. The two silently glared at each other, making the current atmosphere more suffocating. Seeing this, Lucinia could only sigh inwardly.

Can she just leave and enjoy some time with her husband?
