Chapter 96

Fake and Truth (4)

“Or you can cut her arms and legs so that she can’t go anywhere. He really wanted Mary, but Mary really came. What do you think Arthur will do?”

“Nox, stop lying. Because it’s not fun.”

“It’s a good thing for me. You can get away from Arthur, you can come to me.”

His hand, which was gently stroking her hair, soon grabs a handful and savors the scent. Slowly, she saw herself in his attractive eyes that could take her soul out of her like a familiar person.

Looking at his red eyes suddenly reminded her of what seemed to her during the day. Without realizing it, a smile spread around her mouth.

‘I found it.’

“Fake.”

She’s a fake. She definitely saw it when she got close to her. The red light mixed in her eyes, a strangely familiar gaze.

She was watching everything. Nox was watching everything through her as a gift he sent.

Looking at their reactions, when they were together, holding his breath, hoping that they would take the bait that would shake Arthur and her and move as he wished.

“She’s a fake.”

“Are you too sure?”

His finger, which held a handful of her hair, smoothly slipped between her hairs. His expression illustrated regret.

“You must want me.”

“…….”

“But what should I do? It’s Arthur’s that I noticed first.”

“You don’t know much about Arthur.”

Nox shook his head at what she said. Anxiety has been overtaken by a more determined appearance than expected. There’s no way he won’t notice.

He will know because he said he loves her, not Mary.

By now, he may have noticed.

“That’s right, I don’t know Arthur very well. But I don’t know you either.”

How she will come out from now on and how she will use the gift she received.

There’s nothing more to fear after knowing she’s fake. Rather, it may be good for her now.

“I got a suitable present.”

She thought she had a way to tie Arthur’s feet and use him to get what she wants more easily. What Nox wants is for her and Arthur to keep a distance, so he will help as well.

“Let’s make one thing clear. I don’t know what the contract is between you and Arthur, but I won’t leave Arthur until I know it.”

“It might be okay for you to leave him, right?”

“Maybe the answer was wrong.”

Another thing became evident when she saw Nox trying to get her off Arthur’s side like this. That she should not leave his side.

“I thought about changing my soul, but I gave up because I didn’t think it would be possible. Above all, if it’s not real, there’s no reason for me to be considerate.”

“It was perfect, but you really can’t keep up with it.”

“If you were curious, why didn’t you hold it in?”

How can she forget his eyes full of interest, whether or not to show red eyes?

The horrifyingly red eyes were clearly beyond her eyes.

“What do you gain from doing that?”

“Hmm… Everything?”

His smiling expression hardened for a moment. He smacked his lips by taking the action of holding something in his hand.

Nox’s behavior was so strange that she watched him silently.

“Everything?”

“Yeah, what I want.”

Nox said it was what he wanted and looked toward the door. There was Carl on the other side of the door. Why is Nox, who has nothing to do with him?

“Is Carl involved in this?”

“It’s not Carl. What I want is more of a mess. Of course, I envy you, but unfortunately, I can’t have it yet.”

It may be because of the contract. Arthur’s contract with Nox. And her in between.

“I have one question left then.”

Out of the three questions he promised her the other day. One of them remained with her.

Now was the only chance she had because she didn’t know what fickle he was that he wouldn’t appear like last time.

Nox’s steps to the window stopped. Soon, he turned around, leaned against the window frame, and frowned.

The expression earlier returned to its original state of where it went.

“Think carefully before you say it, since it’s the last question.”

“Why do I have to love Arthur?”

Nox’s expression was colored with embarrassment for the first time. As if she had spoken a taboo, his lips trembled slightly.

His expression in the moonlight froze so cold that it was incomparable to before.

Arthur told her to love him.

Nox asked her if she loved Arthur.

She doesn’t know if she loves him.

But the reason why she asked Nox that question was surprisingly simple.

Because she thought that love that kept asking her for was a clue.

She felt that the invisible link that binds the three of them, the contract, depends on that contract.

“If I love Arthur, can I finish it?”

“Don’t love him.”

Nox’s frozen eyes bent along the line. His determined words sounded sincere. It felt like an unknown intention was revealed for the first time.

She knew what the answer was.

“It’s over when you love someone.”

“Why don’t you love me rather than Arthur?”

Nox’s hand slightly passed by her face. Her body trembled at the cool body temperature.

“Is there a woman who loves demons?”

“Of course, I’m charming.”

He was quite shameless, as if he had returned to his original state. Nevertheless, it is not wrong to say that it could not be denied.

“Why are you so obsessed with Arthur?”

He was seducing her every time, but in her eyes, it felt like it was directed at Arthur. He’s obsessed with her because Arthur loves her.

Perhaps not to love was also what he said with her in mind.

“I like girls.”

“…….”

“It’s telling you the truth.”
