Chapter 233
Cecile felt her face sting and an immense pressure seemed to compress down on her body from the tension in the air. Estians ire felt so oppressive that it was difficult to breathe.
With her arms wrapped around her husband, Cecile said, That man said hes Crown Prince Ruin of the Hyun continent.
And?
Cecile had thought that Estian would at least pretend to be a little surprised, but he sounded genuinely unconcerned by the revelation. Recounting what shed learned, she explained, He said that Im the one known as the Ender and that Im destined to save the world. Thats why he has to take me back to his homeland
Estians body stiffened as he held her, and Cecile felt certain about what was about to happen next.Crown prince Ruin is dead alright.Estian wasnt simply angry now. He was on the verge of becoming a destructive disaster in his own right. The prince had said the world would face an insurmountable catastrophe, hadnt he? Well, if that was true, then Estian was the mostly likely culprit right now.
He said youre shorter, have narrower shoulders, and are uglier than him too. And that I should leave you and marry him instead. He told me to sell my body for money, treasures, and status, she continued.
I didnt put it that way! Ruin cried, aggrieved by the accusation.
Cecile didnt back down, turning to glare at him while she yelled, But thats about the gist of what you said!
Estian gently wrapped his hand around Ceciles chin and turned it so that she was facing his way again. He didnt want her to look at the prince. In a tender voice, he began, I usually dont do this often because its such a bother, but
Do what?Cecile waited nervously for him to continue.
It seems Ill have to pull out the tongue of that knave.
Cecile was speechless. Estian sounded terrifyingly serious.
The sincerity in Estians threat made cold sweat run down Ceciles back.
