Chapter 208: You are truly a loyal woman
"...Visit him?" Eli's eyes, void of emotion, bore into Adriana, who flinched momentarily before hastily offering an explanation.
"I-It's part of the in-investigation, You know. He's a Hero and all"
"....I see" Eli squinted his eyes before walking away while listening to Alexander's explanations, which seemed like utter nonsense and bullshit to him.
Eli strengthened his 'eavesdropping' capability.
"Miss, there's no need to be wary of me; I'm a good guy" Alexander declared with a confident smile. 'Damn, this woman must be exceptionally beautiful. Those eyes and that body structure practically begging to be fucked. Damn, I'm envious of that shitty man'.
"...."
"Miss, would you like to see your husband?" Alexander suggested with a charming smile.
"...." In response, the golden-haired woman nodded, an air of intrigue replacing her usual stoicism.
"..." Veins throbbed on Alexander's forehead, 'This woman, I am The Alexander, the Hero, barking like a dog, and yet she doesn't even spare a glance. But when I mention that shitty man, her eyes glitter with happiness.
Anyway....Mythical Beast? What is that? I haven't heard of it in the game or anywhere....hmmm, If it is powerful then I should get that....I should use this woman somehow to get that Beast on my side'.
"I regret to inform you that your husband is currently in critical condition..." Alexander said in a sorrowful tone, adding weight to his words, "He was a good friend of mine".
As soon as the word 'was' left his lips, a dangerous glint passed through her eyes.
"..." Alden, The HeadMaster, intrigued by Eli's sudden left them, turned around to see....only to fall to his knees, sweating profusely, 'W-w-why sh-she h-hhee-hereee..?'.
Observing this, Adriana promptly cast an invisibility spell around him. It wouldn't be fitting for the second-strongest man to be seen in such a pathetic state.
Adriana was keen to witness what was about to unfold.
"Even though he was a good friend, he was selfish, you know, Miss" Alexander continued, adopting a serious tone,
"He was ready to betray the people who trusted him, even me.....a HERO. He was simply prepared to do anything to save his own skin"
"...." The golden-haired woman looked at him dead stare.
Oblivious to her growing anger, Alexander continued his narrative, attempting to manipulate a woman he never wished to face.
"What's more, he ogled at other women like they were pieces of meat" Alexander said with disgust.
"..."
"Tsk, tsk. Even though he was good at everything, sometimes life is not perfect" Alexander continued with a dejected face, "Asher was a good man, and yet, his lower body takes control over him sometimes".
Alexander, who was infuriated by Eli, really wanted to humiliate him by having his way with his wife right in front of him, revelling in Eli's despair. The mere thought of it made Alexander intensely aroused.
Truly....A Hero.
"...." The golden-haired woman clenched her fist and backed off, but,
"...You don't need to worry about it Miss..." Alexander took a step forward and said, "I am pretty sure, he will be fine. But Miss...Are you sure you want to be with that bastard like him? Even though he was a good and wealthy guy, Are you sure he will not be able to take care of you like a treasure?"
Alexander approached her step by step, thinking, 'Damn, seeing her up close, she is truly a knockout...Ah?'
"You don't need to worry, Miss. As a friend of his, I should take care of my sister, right?" Alexander said, attempting to place his hand on her shoulder.
However,
His body stuttered, and the illusion of him shattering into pieces passed through his mind for a second.
"Huh?" Alexander was momentarily taken aback. He shook himself furiously before glancing at the woman, who was looking at him with lifeless eyes.
"M-Maybe I am a little hasty here' Alexander thought as he moved the hand to scratch his head as if he wasn't trying to touch her before, and continued his act to manipulate her.
"I will always be faithful to the one I love, Miss..."
A little distance away, Luna, with her whitish-purple hair, observed the unfolding scene with widened eyes.
"W-What the hell??" Luna muttered in disbelief.
After getting treated, Alexander went out, claiming he needed air, as he had been manipulated by the monster before.
"T-That woman....." Luna squinted her eyes to identify the golden-haired woman, "Isn't she Eli's wife?"
Her gaze then shifted to Alexander, who was putting in his best effort to coax Eli's wife.
"Seriously!" She screamed inwardly, a mix of confusion and frustration crossing her features.
"That idiot!" Luna exclaimed with an angry tone. "Just what the fuck does he want? He's just like my father, that shitty fucking man..."
"That woman is another man's wife, and he was flirting with her too.....and she's clearly emitting killing intent. Is he too oblivious to notice?" Luna's voice was tinged with frustration.
"Can't he even focus on one girl at a time?....Truly pathetic" Luna's face twisted in disgust as she recalled when Alex had attempted to assault the Elven Queen/Princess.
Luna resolved to thoroughly investigate this matter after Marie and Alysia woke up. While others might have believed Alex was being controlled....but they don't know about him exactly, Luna wasn't naive enough to think he was being manipulated.
"Yes, I started this relationship with a sense of mutual give and take.....thinking it might change in the future, but..." Luna trailed off, looking at the sky with a sombre expression. "I'm disappointed in myself; I'm just the same as before..."
Luna, who stood far behind Alexander, was observing his antics.
"Hey, Luna, you look cute" Eli said as he put his hands around Luna's shoulders.
"Huh?" Luna jolted and snapped out of her thoughts.
"Hmm?"
"W-W-What are you d-doing?" Feeling his face near, She leaned back, flustered, as she hurriedly tried to move away.
"Oh, come on, why shy away now?" Eli teased her, though his eyes only looked at the golden-haired woman.
Luna's face turned bright red as she tried to escape from Eli's grasp.
"W-What are you doing H-Here? T-That's your wife, right?"Luna pointed in a certain direction, attempting to divert Eli's attention.
"Hmm? Wife?" Eli squinted his eyes, followed Luna's gaze and pretended to look...His eyes met with a golden-haired woman looking at him with dead eyes.
"Y-You know, Y-You should go otherwise...." Luna struggled to release from his grasp.
"Otherwise?" Eli asked, glancing at Luna, who was turning bright red.
"H-He will St-teal yo--"
"If a woman is swayed by a few praises and sweet words, then she may not be suitable for a person like me" Eli said steadily as he went near Luna's ears....his attempt to cause jealousy in someone was clearly working as the golden-haired woman starting to glare at Luna.
Luna who didn't know what he was truly doing, felt she was being seduced by him again...her eyes welled up with tears.
Just as she was about to speak,
"You know, miss, your husband seduced.....m-my girlfriend" Alexander, his face started to streaming with tears, stammered out, "S-She....They cheated on us... W-When I saw them, dishevelled and in each other's arms... I-I-I broke down that t-time..."
Alexander couldn't bring himself to say more, covering his eyes and turning his face upward.....hoping for comfort from the golden-haired woman...because this technique always works better.
"..." However, the golden-haired woman just stared blankly.....no, more precisely, behind Alexander.
His sympathy attack didn't have much effect on the golden-haired woman.
"Which girlfriend is he talking about...huh?" Eli asked with a teasing smile as he turned to look at Luna.....only to find her with red, teary eyes and trembling shoulders.
"...." Eli slowly backed off, patting Luna's head, saying, "Ahem-Well, he's partially right. I mean.....I am the one who was trying to seduce you, and yet you remained faithful to your partner...
You are truly a loyal woman, Luna Dawn.
So, don't take it to heart".
"..." However, Luna didn't react to anything; her lifeless eyes stared at Alexander's back, 'It's happening... again... Am I the one being unfaithful—'
Luna's thoughts were abruptly interrupted by a sharp cry,
"HIKK!!"
"Hmm, you're wearing pads again... that's not a good idea, as I might get disappointed in the future, you know? Just show yourself, I'm fine with that" Eli said, casually patting her chest as if he were patting her head.
The sapphire colour returned to her eyes, but her face turned beet red.
"KYYYAAA!!!!" With a loud shout, she was about to slap him.
Eli, prepared for the consequences of his actions, offered his cheeks.
However,
"....." Luna suddenly felt her breath suffocate, her eyes darkening, and her mind going numb. It was as if she were being scrutinized by a thousand eyes.
"Lilit-Lily" A soft voice echoed.
Luna snapped back to reality, her eyes filled with terror as she saw someone appear near her and look at her with dead eyes.
'Pat, Pat'
Eli patted Luna's head and said with a gentle smile, "My wife is a little protective...Hope you don't mind".
Not wanting to suffocate Luna, he immediately moved away from her.
But then,
"Lily?"
The golden-haired woman continued to glare at Luna.
"...." Luna's entire body froze.
"I guess Vampire girl might need me more than anyone" Eli carefeely said as he walked away.
"...."
Within a second, the golden-haired woman disappeared from Luna's sight.
With trembling legs, Luna fell down, gasping heavily and sweating profusely.
"T-That W-Woman is not normal" Luna muttered as her sapphire eyes glowed before settling down.
She, who could see sins and souls, had witnessed the worst nightmare for a second....the golden-haired woman surrounded by millions of lingering souls, of men, women, elders, youth, children...everyone. 'S-so, there are people like that l-iving and h-iding here...ah' she thought.
Her face slowly turned pale realizing what she just witnessed.
"HERO!!!" A sudden voice jolted her, and she turned to see....unconscious Alexander being forcefully slammed into a tree, blood pooling around his crotch area.
His face totally disfigured, and the blood flowed from his face like a fountain.
"P-riest, i-it's a total disaster, The Hero's-Hero's....everything turned to p-aste, 'aarrrhhhh' 'vvooowwwww'" someone vomited and with the pale tone they continued, "n-nothing was there, everything looks like 'oopp' g-grinded mea-'Voovvwwww'.....a-and even his hip bones shattered!!!.....Priest help him, Call the HeadMaster!!!"
"N-No, H-Hero D-Died....F-Fast, we have to revive him" HeadMaster appeared as soon as he heard and was taken by gruesome posture.
"S-She is still ruthless!!" HeadMaster muttered as he glanced at the golden-haired woman who was silently walking away.
However,
"!!!!" HeadMaster hurriedly turned his head when he saw her suddenly looking at him with her dangerous sky-blue eyes, 'I-I didn't see h-her, I di--dn't see her, I didn't see her....' HeadMaster chanted inwardly. m _vl _em _p _yr only
