Chapter 283
Radian took a puff from his cigarette before spitting it out. The musty smell reached Mikhails face, and he frowned. Rubbing the cigarette on the ashtray, Radian put the fire out. My dear cousin, I dont know why youre not believing me but unfortunately, I cant be wrong about what I just said.
What? Mikhail asked back, bewildered.
Looking into his eyes, Radian said, The noble Lord Elios said to me that he would be the one to give the Flower of the Underworlds Goddess to Lady Floyen by winning the hunting competition. He said he would kill me if I tried to approach her.
Mikhails eyes widened at the unbelievable words. A vicious energy soon settled in his amethyst eyes.Win? There is nothing that can back him upHis expression became distorted, and Radian snickered.
Surely you wont give her up just because Elios is of higher status?
As soon as the other finished speaking, Mikhail gritted his teeth. Give her up? Where did you learn to speak nonsense like that? he snarled. His eyes burning with violence, he pledged,Frederich Lionel Elios, you will never win the hunting competition or take Jubelian away from me. Not only thatThe murderous expression soon disappeared from Mikhails face. Radian, who was watching him, raised the corners of his mouth.
It seems I will be able to see something interesting during the hunting competition.

It was the day before the hunting contest.
My lady, this is the outfit and the hat you will be wearing tomorrow. Please check to see if they fit your preferences.
The outfit Merilyn had prepared looked appropriate for outdoor wear. Since I would be outside for a long time, I had told her to prioritize comfort over style. The cape also covered my neck, which meant I didnt need to find an extra accessory. Satisfied, I commended her. Excellent.
Merilyn smiled at my words and nodded. Then I will keep it stored for tomorrow.
Sure, thank you.
Once she left, I collapsed on my bed. I would be with my dad during the hunting competition, so I didnt think anything would happen to me. The problem was
I frowned as I recalled this event as described in the original writing. After being recognized for getting rid of the beast that suddenly appeared and tried to attack Bea, Mikhail was to win with an overwhelming score. I knew both the weakness of the beast and the identity of the one who would release it in the field. However, there was no way he would do such a thing now. The villain of the original novel was my lover now. Thinking of his handsome face for a moment, I was suddenly engulfed by anxious thoughts.
Everything had turned out differently from the original writing. I couldnt pinpoint what was going to happen. Ominous sentiments crept in, and I was worried that something might happen to Bea.
Jubelian, Max called from outside the door just then.
Speak of the devilI sighed and got up.
As soon as I opened the door, he hugged me. I missed you. He was a lot bigger than me yet was putting most of his weight on me. Honestly, I felt a little burdened. Day by day, I felt more like I was spoiling him with my affection. In any case, the hunting competition did not leave my mind. And although she had pretended to be fine, I was aware that Bea had been concerned about her relationship with her mother.
Ill have to ask Max to take care of Bea tomorrow just in case.
