Elisha felt her large hand covering her mouth.
She blinked slowly. She didn’t even want to scream. The size and shape of the hand that covered her mouth were familiar. His other hand was even skillfully caressing her belly.
Elisha frowned slightly as the hand over her mouth loosened.
“This is not the time to play pranks, Lucerne… … .”
But she couldn’t speak anymore. Her body was suddenly against the wall. Lucerne bit and licked her lips. Elisha pursed her lips in pain as she kissed her frantically.
Elisha’s pink lips were plump as his tongue fell off as she frantically pushed him away.
‘You mischievous man,’
Elisha thought. She peacefully raised her eyes and examined Lucerne.
“Are you excited in this situation?”
“Because you’re wearing white, you’re sexy.”
“The coffin of the late Duchess is watching.”
“You’re so dazzling she’ll run away. Did my grandfather make an agreement with my grandmother to have a funeral in such an extravagantly loud coffin? Besides, it’s a coffin for two people.”
“Isn’t it because of the desire to reunite in the other world? You won’t understand that feeling.”
Elisha said in a whisper as she was pressed against the wall.
“No, come to think of it, I think I might understand. If you run away, I will also pursue you to hell, too.”
“… … jokes, too.”
She gently pushed his arm away, then he fell off.
“Just thinking about it makes me furious. Jain or something. He had a wedding or something with you, and then tried to rape you tonight.”
“He won’t even be able to step in here.”
Elisha snorted.
“I’m glad you didn’t see him.”
Lucerne nodded his head genially.
“If Zain caught my eye, I would have cut him down.”
“Then the operation would have failed,”
Elisha coldly commented.
Carola hid Zain nearby for tonight. Zain quietly hid in the hideout designated by Carola and then would appear here like magic, planning to violate Elisha.
‘But what will Pansy do if she finds out about tonight’s machinations?’
Elisha skillfully handled Mimosa like a limb. Carola used Zain to coerce her and resurrect her invalid marriage. She leaked the plan to Pansy, who would be terrified that she was about to be deprived of her husband.
She visits Zain tonight and puts sleeping pills in her Zain’s drink. Pansy even went so far as to ask Mimosa for sleeping pills.
‘Pansy is the same after all. She’s selfish and only thinks of her own desires.’
She was harassed in her past life by Carola’s maids-in-waiting. So she knew that even the demure Pansy was a selfish bitch who would do anything for her desires.
She also knew that Mimosa was a woman with a destructive mind who would do anything to ruin others. She had no hesitation in manipulating Pansy into stealing Zain.
‘So, Zain must be sleeping in Pansy’s arms by now, knocked out.’
From the beginning, he was destined never even to come here.
“Did things go well?”
“Of course. This is easy for my knights.”
There was a tiny knock as if responding to Lucerne’s words. Soon, the door to the stone chamber of the temple opened, and Ian and Nora entered.
However, their clothes were strange. Ian, slim and lean, was wearing a long white dress. And both were carrying something like a large bundle.
“Show me your prey,”
Lucerne ordered. Nora and Ian put down the load in turn. It was a man wrapped in cloth. What Nora put down was the fainting Carola. And what Ian put down was Prince Jewel, who was also unconscious.
“Well done.”
Lucerne nodded. Ian and Nora bowed.
“Do you like my present, Elisha? I got what you wanted.”
Lucerne said calmly. She looked them over and nodded her head.
“I like it.”
Jewel and Carola’s actions tonight were in the palm of their hand. Her schemes were revealed by coaxing Mimosa. Using it in reverse, they set a trap.
