Chapter 133

Misunderstanding and Mixed Feelings (7)

Nox, who was slowly hovering around her, stroked her face and smiled lightly.

“Right, all this was a bet that started because of you.”

“A bet, not a contract?”

“Mary, I like bets, not contracts. I just accept interesting bets that I won’t lose.”

He said that he eats human fear, and the bigger the fear, the more power he gained.

Nox giggled and raised the shape of Arthur. Arthur’s face shook dimly over his palm.

“Arthur was always sad to see that woman dying in the hands of a man like a fool. At first, he wasn’t interested, but he seemed to be bored with living insensitively.”

Nox clapped his palms and flashed his eyes.

“That’s why I told you an interesting fact. It all begins with this one book.”

“……he gave me that book.”

“He, who was not interested in living, shook with anger and curiosity when he realized that his life was repeated due to a woman named Mary.”

Nox looked excited as if telling her a story. Nox, who chats about the past, looked excited, so it may not be because of his mood.

“It was interesting to think that I wouldn’t have done that if I were a strong possessive person. Never once did a woman named Mary look at Arthur. I felt the excitement of burning blood as Arthur became frustrated.”

She frowned at Nox’s words. She didn’t call him to hear useless things. She is not curious about his feelings or Mary’s feelings for him.

What she wanted to know was simple. What bet did he make with Arthur?

“Nox, you talk a lot.”

He shook his immobile body and hardened his expression. When he raised his eyebrows slightly, Nox still smiled and gently grabbed his chin.

“Did he say that if you take medicine, you will live? It’s just an excuse for Arthur to stay by your side. Arthur said so, and he wants Mary to love her so that she doesn’t die when she’s with him.”

“What?”

“The bet between Arthur and me, if you fall in love with Arthur, you don’t have to die and he doesn’t repeat his life again. If you don’t love Arthur? Arthur’s soul is mine.”

……It means that he made a bet with his life.

If she loves Arthur, she won’t die? Is he saying that she can live if she’s next to him?

What Nox said was very shocking. She’s known it would be related to her for a long time, but she didn’t know it would be this kind of nonsense bet.

Then it means that Arthur deceived her from the beginning.

“Then why didn’t it hurt even if I didn’t take medicine…… Was it because you were next to Arthur?”

“Yeah, that’s why he suggested staying in the Grand Duchy.”

“Why on earth…?”

“Other people call it love.”

Arthur deceived her from start to finish. To get her, to see herself who loves him by his side.

If love was this kind of thing, she would never have done it. A sense of betrayal came to the point where the love for Arthur was overshadowed.

Immediately after hearing everything from Nox, the anger that wound around him cooled down.

“You asked me to trust you, but the result is…….’

Now she can’t even laugh. Her heart was pounding. No, she felt the pain while she was poking. It was a pain that she had never felt before.

Is this what it means to collapse? No, the close trust that had been piled up like a sandcastle just collapsed.

“Did your feelings for Arthur cool down a little? Mary, you have to be a little angrier.”

Nox filled with excitement to see if he liked her changed expression. When she tried to snatch the contract floating in the air, it quickly scattered in front of her eyes and disappeared.

“Are you going to get rid of it? I can’t destroy this at will.”

“You look happy.”

“What? A little bit? I don’t like how you love Arthur.”

Nox smiled brightly at her question. Now she felt that she was facing Nox’s true self little by little.

Devil, how has she been looking at the devil so far?

“But I will never love you.”

“It doesn’t matter. As you know, I can’t feel emotions. I just like the way you do this, whether or not you love me.”

“I like you as much as I want, you’ll be disappointed again soon.”

Nox blinked slowly, blocking her from going out.

When she raised her head and looked at Nox, he gently grabbed her hair in his grasp and flowed down and raised the corners of his mouth crookedly.

“Mary the medicines Arthur gave you, including the emergency medicine provided in the Archduke, were all made for you by Arthur.”

“… Why are you telling me this?”

“Yeah, I thought there would be a gap when you were confused, and then I might get a chance too.”

Nox, who gently covered his hair, passed it behind his ears and looked at her lips.

Nox’s mouth, which slowly came out and looked at her, flinched small.

“Ugh.”

“I told you not to play tricks on me.”

A heavy object was caught in her lowered hand. She grabbed Nox’s back with one hand and pulled it toward her, turning his head slightly to the side.

Nox’s expression turned interesting again.

“I couldn’t kill him, so I made him a eunuch… … Is it true that if Gray dies, I may die too?”

Nox’s eyebrows wriggled at the words eunuch. His was a precious shape on the subject of the devil.

He seemed to know that she was not joking right now. Nox answered smoothly.

“That’s true. Gray is involved in your death.”

She whispered quietly in Nox’s ear and asked again. The story of Gray’s death and her death is that it’s all related to this.

“He’s also involved in the contract.”

She put a little stronger force on her hand. At the same time, she put her leg between Nox’s two legs.

The corner of Nox’s mouth fluttered, and soon dried up and smiled.

“Mary, it’s different to seduce you like this, but it’s very good…….”

“I still haven’t come to my senses-”
