For the sake of his goal, Michael was willing to do anything. He was a person void of feelings, he is a callous, heartless, and sadistic person... no, not a person. He was a ruthless demon. He regards human, in general, to be 'difficult creatures,' but he is fascinated with their struggles and lofty goals. He is intrigued by how seemingly insatiable they are, for they are willing to drag others down to get what they want, even in death.
He slept with countless of woman during his hundred years in this world and never did he encountered someone like Yiren. Her soul was unique and while he was thrusting in her, he felt power surging in him. She was not a simple human, he must not let anyone have her.
Yiren woke up in the afternoon and because of the pain her body felt, she was not able to move around. She realized that she was wearing a clean night dress and she even noticed that the bedsheet and blanket was changed too.
When she turned her head, she saw Michael sitting on the sofa while he was reading a book, he was wearing a black trousers, a six-button double-breasted tailcoat, and a gray vest. He was giving a dignified and noble atmosphere around him which attracted her to him. He raised his head when he felt someone looking at him.
He smiled upon seeing her awake. He rarely gives her a smile that's why when she saw him smile so handsomely at her, she couldn't stop herself from blushing.
She sat down and felt the ache in her lower body. She remembered what they did last night which made her cover her blushing face with a pillow.
"You must be hungry. I will prepare some food for you." He closed the book and placed it aside. He walked towards the kitchen.
He looked like he's in a good mood...
She tried getting out of the bed but she couldn't feel her legs at all! She bit her lower lip. Didn't he said that he was going to be gentle on her?!
She sighed heavily and waited patiently on the bed instead.
She didn't feel sticky at all... Did he cleaned her while she was unconscious? He even changed the sheets...
A faint blush appeared on her cheeks as she smiled when she saw how responsible he was. She didn't want to wake up naked so she was thankful that he saved her from the possible embarrassment she would feel if she wakes up naked.
While she was busy recalling how sexy Michael was last night, Michael came out of the kitchen with a tray of food. He sat down beside her as he placed the tray on the bed. "Milady, I have prepared you a poached salmon and mint salad for you."
She shuddered with the way he addressed her. She looked at him with furrowed brows.
He turned his head and saw her reaction, he raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"
Seeing how close his face was made her blush, she quickly avoided his gaze. "N-Nothing... Thank you for the food."
She was about to start eating when her wrist was suddenly grabbed by Michael. "Let me."
She didn't stopped him, for some reason, it made her happy when she saw how sweet he actually was. He started feeding her patiently.
It was nice and quiet until he finally opened his mouth. "What are your plans now?"
She rested her head on his shoulder and sighed. "Will you help me?"
"Of course. You just need to order me with this." He placed the fork down before he placed his hand on her chest, the part where the mark of their contract was.
She slapped his hand away and blushed. "You can't just touch me!"
"I just did." He tucks a strand of her hair behind her ear.
She bit her lower lip and turned away. "A-Anyway, our next target is Prince Alyn. We will make him fall for his fiance."
"How will we do that?" He asked as he started stroking her head like a cat.
"Leave the Princess to me. I want you to make sure that Alyn and that bitch will never be alone with each other. You are not allowed to approach that bitch, okay?"
She felt scared that the only person who belongs to her will be stolen by the MC. She was not going to allow her to do that.
----
When she went to school the following day, the first thing she did was to find Charlotte, she offered Charlotte her help which the naive princess quickly accepted. After a few days, when she made sure that Charlotte trusted her, she told her that she should stop acting like a shy and weak girl whenever she faced Alyn. She needs to be more direct.
Of course it wasn't easy for Charlotte but since she considered Yiren as a friend, she followed her plans. Whenever Charlotte will meet Alyn, she became so shameless with him that she even stole a few kisses from him. The sudden change in Charlotte surprised Alyn but at the same time, he was disgusted with her since he didn't liked her one bit, he find her annoying.
If back then he would always go on a date with Olivia during his free time, that all stopped since Luke started giving him more work. At least he thought that it was Luke who keep on getting him busy, it was actually Michael working in the dark.
Yiren made Charlotte stop her bullying attitute towards the MC and instead, she told her to focus on making Alyn fall for her. Yiren keep on telling Charlotte to visit Alyn daily and give him a daily kiss.
Alyn was avoiding her at first but as time went by, he started getting used to it until one day, he started to wonder why Charlotte stopped visiting him.
Just like how Yiren planned it, Charlotte stopped visiting Alyn, she even avoided him during class which made him frustrated.
This time, whenever the MC would approach Alyn, Alyn would ignore her and instead, he started going after Charlotte. Despite how happy Charlotte became when Alyn started approaching her, she followed Yiren's advice and she continued avoiding him. When he finally confronted her, Charlotte cried in front of him.
"You never loved me! Why should I continue to follow you?" Charlotte cried. "L-Lets break our engagement... don't worry... I-I will convince my mother and auntie..."
Alyn's heart shook when he heard what she said. "I'm not going to allow that!"
Charlotte turned away and covered her face with her hands as she cried. "You have someone else in your heart... I love you and I did everything to make you fall for me but... but seeing that it was not working... I rather give you up... and save some pride."
He loves someone else? Yes, he did. He loved Violet... when he lost her, he thought that he was not going to love someone again. Charlotte was always with him, trying to cheer him up, trying to make him smile but in the end, he ignored her hard work. Then he started loving Olivia but he soon realized his feelings for Charlotte as he recalled how caring she was... He realized her feelings and her feelings was able to reach him. The feelings he has for Olivia couldn't be compared to how he felt for Charlotte.
Yiren was watching them from an empty room's window. She smiled when she saw Alyn hugged Charlotte.
"You deserve someone loyal, Alyn..." Yes, he deserves someone who will love him truthfully since Olivia's heart was divided between Luke, Dylan, and Alyn. Once he will take over the throne, Charlotte will be supporting him in his reign. She was someone who gave her whole heart to him, she will never betray him.
From afar, she saw the MC approaching them and she saw how Alyn apologized to the MC. He was holding Charlotte's hand as he told Olivia that the person he really loves is Charlotte. She smirked upon seeing Olivia's reaction.
'Ha! Now you have a less man in your harem!' She sneered. Soon, shee will be able to break the game's control on every capture character.
She turned and was about to leave the room but she was surprised to see someone entering the room.
She was rather calm when she faced Luke. Just like what Michael promised her, she didn't felt a thing for him anymore.
"Yiren, can we please talk?" He asked as he walked toward her.
"Aren't you talking already?" She sighed. "Anyway, please hurry up. I still have something to do."
