Chapter 150: Extremely normal women
After Violet slammed the door and left, the heavy silence that remained in the room weighed down on me, further tightening my nerves. Violet's words seemed to probe deep wounds inside me that I didn't even know existed. She was my sister, but her anger and distrust towards me were evident. How could she have been so blind as to stand next to a man like Alpshar? Yet, was her reaction merely a simple outburst of anger, or was it a sign of a really deep gulf between us?
Taking a deep breath, I buried my head in my hands, drowning in my thoughts, when Kayle's voice unexpectedly interrupted with a calm coldness.
"You see, don't you, Ethan? Trusting people's emotions is the greatest weakness. Even if it's your sister…They don't act the way you imagine" she said, her voice cold but hiding a glimmer within. When she glanced at me, I saw not just an indifferent, calculating look in her eyes but something deeper concealed beneath. In that moment, I realized Kayle's obsession and fixation on me were more complex than they appeared on the surface.
Maintaining her expression, Kayle took a step toward me, her fingers gliding along the edge of the table as her words poured out like a subtle poison. "People, especially those like you, always think of their own interests, Ethan. The interesting part… is that I often do the same to . But of course, there's a big difference between what I did and what Violet did. No matter how much you control it, Violet finally expressed her anger towards you and chose the perfect moment to break you. I don't agree with her, of course," Kayle said, looking at me with a dark glimmer in her eyes. "And I'm not as weak as she is. Don't get me wrong; Violet is one of my favorite people in this world, but she has always been weak. Both physically and mentally. Yet, even if she made a wrong decision, I will support her."
As the weight of her words filled the room, I felt for a moment how destructive this deep obsession could become. But within Kayle, there was something far removed from the innocence that Violet possessed. She was merely calculated, wild, and manipulative when necessary. No matter how hard she tried to conceal the obsession with me, there was a glimmer in her eyes that betrayed her. But Kayle had always been this way. So, this sudden, seemingly different side of her did not surprise me. Sometimes, Kayle acted shy and innocent like a newlywed in front of me, but at other times, she would show her dark side as she did now. After all, no human is one-dimensional.
When I looked deep into Kayle's eyes, I felt how deeply her dark side ran within her. I realized at that moment that, unlike Violet, Kayle was bound to me with a passion strong enough to consume me. It was a dangerous balance; Violet's insecurity stemmed from an honest and pure feeling. However, Kayle's attachment was much more destructive and complicated. Perhaps this was why Kayle sometimes scared me. In fact, there were times when I thought the dark element suited her better than it suited me.
Now, thinking back to the moment I first saw her felt a bit strange. The moment Isabella took me to her palace, and I saw Kayle, I found her very cute. Even the way she defended her mother was sweet, but what had happened to that sweet girl? In any case, she always important to me, and also, I didn't want to ruin my relationship with another sister.
Kayle approached me with a slight smile on her lips and, in a low voice, said, "I always tell you, Ethan, you're overconfident. When Violet got angry and slammed the door, she caught you at a weak point, didn't she? She couldn't mask her anger. She reacted in a pure way. But I… I am different… But don't worry, I make sure not to do anything wrong with you as much as I can," she said, her voice almost turning into a whisper.
As Kayle's words reached me, the tension in the room grew stronger. The whisper in her voice felt like an echo in my ear, stirring an uncomfortable feeling in my heart.
"So?.... Anyway, Kayle. I'm leaving for now. All I ask of you is to help Violet. I don't want you to make her cancel the engagement; I just want you to keep an eye on her," I said, ending this strange situation.
At my words, Kayle seemed to revert to her newlywed virgin behavior. Since I stood up, we were accidentally too close to each other, causing Kayle to blush while she looked away. Sometimes I wondered why psychologically normal women never fell in love with me. Why were the women who fell in love with me either suffering from extreme mood disorders or completely emotionless?!
"Y-yes, Ethan. I will do that," Kayle said, stuttering.
Finding this situation amusing, I decided to push it a little further and leaned in closer to Kayle. Even though she was curious about what I would do, she tightly closed her eyes. I kissed her forehead, making sure it was a little longer than an innocent and normal kiss. Well, maybe the reason why these kinds of girls fell in love with me was my gestures like this, perhaps? Kayle's face, even her ears, turned completely red as I pulled away, leaving her frozen there as I walked out the door.
Once I stepped outside the unity building, I set my course toward the Academy's special area reserved for guests. I hadn't seen Isabella for a long time, and frankly, I was curious about how she was doing, so I decided to pay her a visit. However, as I walked, I felt a strange sensation at the back of my neck. And this feeling had been there since I left the unity building. Someone was definitely following me, and when I quickly turned around, I noticed that the person following me wasn't even trying to hide, coming up behind me.
There she stood, with her arrogant smile. Looking at her imposing figure, I could definitely say she was not shorter than me. The exposed abdominal muscles added a different allure to her but didn't take anything away from her curvy body; in fact, it only enhanced it. She was indeed an extremely seductive woman. Her black horns appeared to extend back, and her black eyes stared directly into mine.
"Why are you following me, Limahlat?" I said, looking at her broad smile. Experience tales at m v|l--NovelBin.net
Limahlat widened her smile further upon hearing my words. "Following you? No, I just enjoy watching you," she said, her voice soft yet filled with a subtle arrogance. "Is there a problem with that?" she asked, taking a step closer to me. I was used to women being shorter than me, but Limahlat was at my height. This felt strangely odd and, to be honest, I felt like I might be assaulted at any moment.
"I certainly have a problem with you following me, princess. Anyone would find being followed problematic," I said with a sigh.
Limahlat smiled slightly, unfazed by my words. "Maybe I just want to spend time with you, Ethan," she said. Her voice echoed softly yet firmly. "Being around someone like you is always interesting. Just watching is entertaining enough."
Fixing her eyes on mine, she took another step forward. At that moment, I could feel how intense the tension between us was. Limahlat's presence created a kind of magnetic pull over me. Her confidence, strong stance, and seductive demeanor captivated me for a moment. But I quickly regained my composure. Perhaps being a demon gave her some magical yet passive seduction power, I thought.
"If you want to spend time with me, then why did you choose this route? Also, It seems like you're not content with just observing," I said, trying to maintain a distance between us. Her voice felt like just a game; but playing this game with her required caution. After all, having a bad relationship with her was one of the last things I wanted.
Limahlat did not stop smiling in response to my words. "Ethan," she said, her voice soft yet sincere, "I won't just settle for watching you. Observing is just an excuse for wanting to be around you."
"I wanted to say, 'God, has another crazy woman started to like me?!' but of course, I said that only in my mind.
"Anyway. You can follow me, but if I see you watching while I have any conversation, meeting, or anything else with someone else, I won't be pleased, princess of the demonesses. And I assure you that I can quickly tell if someone is watching me. Do you understanding?" I asked. And indeed, I could quickly sense if someone was watching me; after all, it was one of the things I developed throughout my time at the Academy.
Limahlat's smile widened even further, her eyes shining with a glimmer. "Deal, deal, deal!" she said, her voice sweet, but the threat it contained was quite apparent.
