Chapter 242 241: An Imposter [Pt1]
?
Yohan observed the morning for any changes but he was not able to find anything. Even Hans and Hobbit were behaving regularly. Rui also seemed normal, if not a little distance but that was not too much trouble.
???d?---n??a| ?om Yohan flared his powers and luckily, it did not seem as if his seal had been tampered with or altered in any way.
‘I wonder what changed in this world. I guess the only one who can answer me is Freshia, the one who initiated this seal in the first place.’
Since that was the case, Yohan decided to follow his gut instincts and make his way toward the lady in question. Surprisingly, Lady Freshia was a hard woman to spot. She was well-hidden and did not appear in front of Yohan the whole time he was looking for her.
From what he gathered from her maids, she had been hiding in her room for the whole time she was here.
So that was where Yohan decided to go at first. Into the room, Lady Freshia was staying. And she allowed Yohan to come in without much fuzz, which was also amazing.
Her eyes no longer held the same look of suspicion and caution she had shown Yohan this whole time. Instead, there was understanding and also appreciation.
“My lady, are you in need of anything? I decided to visit you since you did not call for me today.”
There was a tense air around the room as Yohan entered it. It seemed almost as if Frehia’s eyes were looking across his soul and judging him for everything he had done.
Yohan did his best not to show anything on his face. He did not want to show his true colors in front of Lady Feshia. But her eyes seemed to be looking through Yohan and judging him.
“Ah yes, you are finally here. Yohan Strout, why don’t you take the seat in front of me? I think there are some things we need to discuss with each other right now.”
Yohan frowned as soon as he heard Frehisa’s words. It seemed something had changed with her.
Gone was her naive attitude and a sharp fox-like grin broke free of Freshia’s face. He was almost willing to believe that this was a different person altogether.
“Who are you? You are not Freshia Wells, right? I don’t recognize your soul or your aura.”
Yohan was cautious of this female. She had appeared out of nowhere and he was especially not willing to believe that she was lady Freshia Wells he knew.
“Hub, you recognized that I was not Freshia? That should not be possible. The world assured me that no one would notice the difference. Just what kind of trickery is this?”
Freshia broke her character all on her own. Yohan, who had just been convinced that Freshia was an intelligent person had to take his thoughts back.
‘What an annoyance. But at least she’s as much of an idiot as before. I can use this knowledge to my advantage.’
“I-It doesn’t matter if you know or not. You are a no-name extra in this world anyway so I don’t care about you.”
Lady Freshia collected herself as she calmed her racing heart down. Keith was not able to understand a word of what she was muttering to herself but he did know that this woman had a lot of advantage over him.
Unlike everyone else, she also seemed to have a plan she was following.
“Anyway, Yohan Strout, take a seat and I will tell you something that will blow your mind. But before that, you need to make an oath to me that you will not reveal whatever you hear in this room to the outside world.”
Lady Freshia held her hand out and she seemed to be confident in her power.
Yohan looked at her and considered how confident she was. It seemed almost as if Freshia had a larger power backing her right now. He could also sense the presence of the realm key’s power in her.
‘Well, things just got a whole lot more interesting all of a sudden. This woman is not what she appears to be. So I guess it would not hurt me to play along for once.’
Yohan rested his hand in Freshia’s hand and he felt the realm key’s power trying to bind him to his promise. But the realm key’s power Yohan had in his possession repelled the foreign power from his system.
Freshia, unaware of the fact that she had failed to control Yohan, seemed quite happy with the outcome. She had a big beaming grin on her face as she tried to control her happiness.
“So, now tell me what the big news you were dying to say is.”
Yohan demanded from the female in front of him and Freshia took in a deep breath.
“Do you know that this world is not real and we are all in a novel I read a long time ago? I was the unfortunate villainess who was convicted of crimes I did not even do. And now I have been given a second chance at life.”
Freshia sounded convinced of what she was saying and somehow, Yohan did not doubt Freshia.
At least, he did not doubt her belief of being in a book. It was likely the realm’s way to ensure nothing went out of order.
But Yohan was certain of one thing now, the realm favored this female in front of him.
‘And that is why I need to take advantage of her. She is someone this world had granted a favor so the world must be paying attention to her.’
“I see, my lady. That sure is interesting to know. Do you lady know what she is going to do next?”
Yohan asked, trying to flatter Freshia so that she ended up revealing everything to him. The proud look Frehia had on her face caused Yohan to silently laugh in his mind.
She had fallen for his trick without even meaning to. It was such a shame that Freshia was a foolish woman even in her new life.
“You’re asking me what I want to do? Of course, I know what I want to do. I want to take revenge for what happened to me before and I also want to show these people why they made a mistake underestimating me.”
Yohan laughed in his mind. It was all too easy for him to gain the trust of these people. Why did they never bother to use Freshia was beyond him.
‘Sometimes, it is just that easy.’
