Chapter 464 - Lauriel Had Arrived! (1/2)

For various reasons today, Marion who usually could think clearly suddenly couldn't come up with any good tactics or strategy so she could deceive Alaric. She was too shaken to sit still and analyze the situation.

One thing was for certain, she did not want Alaric to know that she was only disguising as Aleksis. The man would be very hurt once he found out that the girl he saved was not really his wife, but a fake Aleksis sent by his own father.

The longer Marion stayed with him, the more she became afraid that her disguise would be exposed.

Alaric must not know that his father was the one after him ...

Marion could not imagine how bad the relationship between the two men would become once Alaric learned the truth.

Lauriel would be very sorry, but his regrets would come too late. By then, Alaric would have already hated him so much...

”Alaric ..!” Marion suddenly turned around and raised her hands, signaling that he shouldn't follow her. ”Please, I need to be alone. If you love me, please don't follow me. I need time to process all of this in my head ...”

She must escape from Alaric, then find a way to meet Lauriel.

The man was instantly rooted in his place.

A few dozen men in black surrounded them, looking alert and cautious. Alaric raised his right hand. They all nodded and left him and Marion.

”Calm down ... I'll leave you alone. So don't run away like that, I won't chase you,” Alaric said in a very gentle voice.

He understood that everything he just told her, for an ordinary human, was too overwhelming to handle. It was not surprising that 'Aleksis' became this shocked and tried to leave. He had to give her some time to think things through.

As he had promised to himself, even if Aleksis did not remember him, he would simply try to make her fall in love with him again. He would wait until forever. He had a very long life to spend with her.

Marion, who saw the bodyguards leaving them, became quite relieved. Right now, she had no weapon with her and would be unlikely to escape from him, much less with others around. She must use Alaric's love for Aleksis to get some freedom of movement for herself.

However, when she looked at those loving purple eyes, her heart felt very guilty. This man really loved Aleksis and was willing to do anything for her, she realized. But now Marion was actually planning to use his sincere and deep love against him.

All her life, Marion was used to carrying out various missions that were not at all clean, but she found herself wallowing in guilt only this one time. She thought of Aleksis who was still lying in a coma in another country. For sure, she would want to be with the man she loved. However, the man Aleksis loved was actually being targeted by her fathers.

”Alaric ... I ...” Marion swallowed hard.

She almost spilled out all her secrets to him and told him that the real Aleksis was in Switzerland.

Ah, you can't do that, Marion. Not yet. The situation is still currently very bad.

She did not know what Alaric would do once he discovered that he got cheated.

Marion unconsciously touched the necklace around her neck, remembering that inside its locket was Princess Luna's hair.

She better go to Lauriel quietly and tell him what had happened. She had to show his girlfriend's hair as proof and then convinced them that they all had to retreat and leave Alaric alone.

Later, once they were back in Switzerland, she would make sure Lauriel find a way to apologize to his son and reunite him with the real Aleksis.

Yes ... that's the only way.
