Chapter 209 – Seed of Self-Doub (1/2)
t
Facing Rosie’s repeated questioning, Elena was speechless and fell silent.
Did she have a choice? Thinking about it carefully, Rosie was probably right.
Perhaps she had a choice in the beginning, but after that damn pervert used various methods to force her, almost completely grinding her pride away. Elena had to be careful in order to not be at a disadvantage, and gradually got used to it.
So what if Rosie was right, what does that prove? She only got used to this way of life because she was helpless, that doesn’t show she likes Lin Xiao.
Snow even made a bet with her before that even if she had a chance to kill Lin Xiao and remove the contract, she wouldn’t do it and would willingly stay with him…
What a joke! As expected from these foolish humans, just by acting subserviently, she was able to trick everyone. It seems like wiping out the humans was just a eventuality.
She thought ferociously while making a terrifying expression.
Rosie saw all her reactions and knew she didn’t agree with what she said, and continued speaking with interest.
“Hehe, Elena, I know what you’re thinking… since you deny it, then answer me this, if you really don’t like him, then you can’t explain that!”
“Something I can’t explain?”
She didn’t believe something like that existed, and didn’t believe she could distort the truth. She didn’t like Lin Xiao, that was undisputed, nothing she asked could change this fact.
“Elena, we fought with Water Academy a few days ago, you still remember that, right? When Veblen threw his axe towards Lin Xiao, you saved him. Though he stubbornly said that he still would have been able to avoid it by himself, but I definitely think that without your help, his head would have been crushed!”
“I remember, so?”
“So, my question is… why did you save him? If you didn’t like him or hated him, and didn’t want to be his maid, then why don’t you just let him die? Even if you didn’t save him, no one would blame you.”
“That’s because…” Elena disdainfully curled her lips and prepared to answer.
It turned out to be such a foolish question. She had thought that Rosie would ask something difficult, but it wasn’t much.
She’s already thought of a bunch of reasons for why she would save him. Such as because it would be troublesome, Elona was still with Snow, etc… these were all perfectly logical reasons that showed that she only acted out of rational judgment, and not because of feelings for Lin Xiao.
As Elena was going to give her ‘perfect excuse’, Rosie interrupted her.
“I know Elena, you probably have a lot of reasons and excuses, but I want to ask this, were you really able to weigh all the pros and cons in such a short period of time?”
“Eh?”
“In that instance, when he was in danger, you didn’t even have time to think. There was only one reason you saved him… Elena, you just didn’t want him to die.”
“What?” After hearing Rosie, it was like she was struck by lightning.
“Am I wrong? No matter how many reasons you fabricate, in that instant, you just wanted to save him. You don’t hate him and you don’t want him to die. Elena, you can’t lie to yourself, your instinctive reaction already sold you out!”
“No, that’s not right! How is that possible? I was, just…”
“What are you guys talking about? Let’s go, it seems like there’s people nearby, we have to get going!” Caesar’s voice interrupted their secret chat.
With Caesar, they couldn’t continue their conversation.
“Damn, getting in my way! … what a block of wood! He cant read the atmosphere at all.”
Rosie glanced at Caesar, but she didn’t make a fuss. She ended their conversation, made a victory sign and even spat out her tongue at Elena, then ran off towards Caesar.
On the other side, Elena was still immersed in their conversion.
Instinctive reaction?
So she didn’t want him to die?
What kind of joke is that?
Impossible.
She’ll never agree to that!
But she couldn’t refute it…
After a short break, Loran Academy set off once again. But now there was a seed planted in a certain maid’s heart.
A seed of self-doubt.
