Chapter 125 – I Heard Someone was Messing with my Wife? (1/2)

‘Understanding the truth’ and ‘accepting the truth’ were two very different things.

The instant he found out about the truth, all sorts of feelings welled up inside his heart.

He longed for a crucial piece of evidence, and now that he had it, he should be satisfied, right?

According to their agreement, he could find Rosie right now, tell her about everything then let Rosie use her family’s power to get to the bottom of it.

At that time, Shen DaiYing would be revealed as a killer, and she would never be able to become Caesar’s wife.

But was that the outcome Lin Xiao was hoping for?

No, it wasn’t.

Suddenly, Lin Xiao finally understood why he fell in love at first sight.

Perhaps others may not see through her, but he felt something peculiar from her the moment he saw her. Each of her smiles recounted a past tragedy, her charming eyes weren’t telling words of love, but transmitting her suffering and struggles within the darkness.

She was a young and beautiful princess, yet she was a coldblooded killer, why? Was it of her own choice? Or did she have no choice?

Lin Xiao didn’t know, but he never took her as a princess from the start, but someone who needed to be saved.

He hoped that he could rescue her from her torment and suffering, and become a hero-like existence. It wasn’t deliberate, but instinctual. That perhaps may be the last thing he strongly clung to within his decadent lifestyle.

That was why he took care of Snow, who lose her sight, as well as Elena who was in dire straits, and now, it was Shen DaiYing.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t become anyone’s hero.

Snow ultimately left him and joined the Holy Light Church, Elena would leave him sooner or later, and Shen DaiYing never once asked anything from him.

So not only did he not become a hero, he also couldn’t even get a girlfriend.

“Sigh, as expected it’s just better to laze around. I’m more suited to be a normal person without a sense of existence.”

Lin Xiao repeatedly warned Elena to not reveal this information, and to set it aside for now, and that locating her missing niece was more important. To that, Elena was noncommittal.

“So you’re going to give up and not like her anymore? It seems like your feelings was just that.”

She wanted to kick him while he’s down for a long time already, it would be even better if she makes him cry!

He was just a stinking toad that wanted to eat princess meat, how could she fall in love with a damn pervert? It’s obviously impossible.

Elena hatefully thought about how he could only rely on the slave contract to bully her. Yet he got in over his head and tried to save the princess, how laughable.

Elena suspected that it was because she was too kind towards him and indulged him too much which made him mistakenly believe how amazing of a person he actually is. Since such a beauty would become his maid, what else couldn’t he do?

Foolish.

Maybe she should scold him more from now on, and let him understand that he’s just an unmotivated fool.

Elena was thinking about her plans from now on.

“Eh… give up? No, of course not, I just realized something.”

He wasn’t a kid anymore, yet he was still so foolish and finally noticed it at the end.

“Then, what do you plan to do next.” Elena elatedly ate the food that she made by mixing up the salt and sugar, while jokingly asking, “Hire her to kill me? After all, she’s such a powerful killer, I definitely wouldn’t be able to beat her.”

“Kill you? Impossible, you’re my maid.”

“… tsk. Then, are you going to confess again? And say that you’ll love her even if she’s a killer?”

“Uh… no.” Lin Xiao shook his head.

He never understood what she meant when she told him, ‘I don’t need your kindness’ until now.

“Whatever, I’ll take it one step at a time.”

He won’t sell her out, and similarly wont easily give up, he’ll still continue his ‘hero’ dream, but he cant be as impulsive as before, he had to wait for the right timing.

Her next assassination target is a good place to start.

After all, right now her favorable impression of him isn’t that high, if 100 points was her marrying him then it was probably at 10 points right now.

Of course, only Shen DaiYing herself knew the real number of points.

“Sigh, let’s just finish eating and go to sleep early, we still have to get up early tomorrow.” Lin Xiao sighed, tossed aside the bothersome things, and finally sat down at the table to eat.

Damn, this idiotic maid mixed up the salt and sugar again… after tasting it, Lin Xiao felt like his stomach would be tormented to shit by Elena sooner or later.
