The Villain's Redemption

Chapter 315 - Prince Ymir Andreas Of The Lycans

Chapter 315 - Prince Ymir Andreas Of The Lycans

"I thought you said it's in the crown prince's place?" Eleonor asked.

"It is."

"Then where is it?"

"I don't know. Can't you sense it? Your blood is pure, you should be able to sense it."

"I can't Peter!" Frustration laced Eleonor's voice. "Maybe the information that you have is wrong?"

"No. I am sure. The Empress wanted to make her son more powerful. So, she gave that thing to him. She also gave him a protection talisman that would protect him from powerful Lycans. Even from the Royals. It was said that it was created by the late Pope. Lycans with stronger bloodlines should be able to feel it."

"Then how come it's not here?"

"That— "

There was a brief pause as footsteps echoed inside the room.

"Maybe it was with that woman?" The man named Peter said.

"The consort?"

"Yes."

"Then we should go and find that woman."

"But I don't think we have time for that. We only have one night."

"Tsk. Then… we should just kill the Prince. Next week, he will arrive here to negotiate. Around that time, the crown prince would die too."

"But… But what about that talisman?"

Another silence followed.

"Maybe it was a lie?"

"Eleonor… what if we just leave?"

"What?"

"I mean… I don't want to put you in any danger. Since we are not sure about the talisman, it is better to leave now. We could always— "

"No."

"Why?"

"We need to kill the crown prince."

"Why?"

"I said— "

"Why do we need to frame him?"

"You— "

"I knew he was once your mate but why would you put yourself in danger just to make him suffer?"

"It's— "

"Hate is an emotion too Eleonor. Are you really sure that you no longer have any emotions for him?"

"Peter listen…"

This… Rhea bit her lips as she listened to the confrontation between the two. It seems that she was listening to the second male lead?

In every story, there is always the second male lead that would accompany the female lead everywhere. They would grow together, have each other's back, save each other, and would mature together.

However, this person was destined to be treated like the female lead's brother or close friend. After all, it is always best to love the walking red flag, the male lead.

Just the thought made her smile.

This unfortunate man was here with the female lead, acting like her knight in shining armor. He would be willing to do everything and even sacrifice his life to save this woman. And yet… all she was thinking was actually the male lead.

Aw.

Poor Peter.

Should she also save this person from his demise?

Ah, never mind. This was not her concern at all.

All she needed to do was prevent the war and her job was halfway over.

After a few minutes, Eleonor who was dressed in black went out. A tall man, wearing the same black outfit followed her out.

Then she followed them towards the kitchen as they added something towards the source of the water and the meat that was stored for the prince.

Rhea couldn't help but wonder about their plan. From the conversation, it was clear that they didn't want to kill the crown prince tonight. But what was their real goal?

What about the negotiation that she was talking about?

What could it be?

Should she just ask the female lead?

When the two of them left, Rhea added some talismans on the water and meat, detoxifying it. She didn't want to attract the attention of the female lead, now. So she chose to do this in secret.

She was aware that the protagonists were powerful and just simply lucky. Being entangled with them would only put her mission in jeopardy.

"Hm?" She was about to follow the female when she saw a shadow. She immediately leaned against the wall and watched as someone walked towards the water. It was a man, tall with broad powerful shoulders. Sadly, she couldn't see his face as he was wearing a cloak.

He checked the water then… used a purifying talisman.

'System… scan,' she said, confused.

Since she was invisible, the man wasn't aware of her presence. He continued to check the water before checking the meat. Once again, he used another talisman to purify it. Of course, both talismans worked as Rhea already detoxified it before.

However, the identity of the man-made her curious.

So, instead of following the female lead, she followed the man instead.

'Hm?' seeing the man jump from trees to trees, she concluded that this man's martial arts were good.

[Scanning complete; Male Lead Spotted Nearby. Locate Male Lead now?]

Male lead?

What the hell?

Was she following the Male lead?

Hold on…

Was it possible that the Male Lead is stalking the female lead?

Was he following her around, trying to convince her to get back to him?

What's going on?

Did the plot change?

'Locate Male Lead'

Another screen appeared in front of her. This time, the red dot was just a few kilometers away from her. It seems that the man in front of her was just one of the male lead's subordinates?

Still, she decided to follow the man until he arrived in front of a lake.

"Your Highness.."

"How is it?"

"Just as you predicted, she tried to hurt the crown prince. She was using a poison this time."

Ymir Andreas was staring at the clear water of the lake. He was also wearing a cloak that covered most of his face.

"Ah… Eleonor…" The man murmured just as a soft breeze from the trees behind him made its presence. His cloak moved, revealing a few strands of his long black hair. "Tell me… Did she really hate me that much?" he asked.

"Your highness…"

"I rejected her because of the people who wanted me dead," Ymir said. "I kicked her out of the pack to keep her safe. Do you think I did something wrong?"

"Your Highness… this…"

"Nevermind…" Ymir sighed. "How is she?"

"She was with a man named Peter."

"The man who saved her when you left her in the rogue's territory?"

"Yes. It was the same man."

A loud sigh escaped the man's lips. "Alright… continue watching. Don't harm her."

"Yes, your highness…"
