Chapter 262: Die, Sister

Rihannan pulled out a glass bottle from her pocket. It was the very same bottle that Danil had given to her.

“But you are still my sister after all. Even if you hate me to the extreme, I do not wish to end it all while still hating you. For that reason, I wish to extend my sympathy to you in this very last moment, for my own sake and my child in my stomach.”

Leticia’s gaze turned towards Rihannan’s stomach. Seeing her stroke her own stomach with care and kindness, fire lit again within Leticia’s eyes.

“You became pregnant?”

“That’s right. I had lost it due to you in the past, but this time they’re growing healthy and well.”

“…”

“In the past, you had given me a poison that gives me the most excruciating pain before I actually die. However, I don’t wish to repeat that process on you. This is a different poison than the one you had given me in the past. I cannot say that you won’t feel any pain at all, but it will be better than having your neck cut off.”

“Why are you saying you’re going to be sympathetic to me? According to you, I’ve done the most vicious thing possible to you in the past.”

“…Do you know what I said to you when you gave the poison to me in the past?”

“How would I know that!”

“I said that I was thankful.” 

Leticia’s eyes widened in shock. “…What?”

“I was thankful for you, because I was able to die alone in this place rather than become executed in front of many people the next day. Of course, you probably didn’t mean it this way, but in any case, you gave me the option of choice, and I was honestly thankful to you for giving it to me. I also think that you didn’t wish for me to die while being a spectacle for many people to see.”

Rihannan opened her hand to show her the glass bottle.

“The choice is completely yours. Now, what will you do?”

Leticia’s eyes that were filled with rage and fire suddenly became calm and cold. Soon, a deep bitterness came over her face.

“Thanks, older sister.” Leticia sobbed slightly. She slowly stood up. Leticia wiped her tears and walked towards where Rihannan was. “Thank you very much. To extend this sympathy towards me like this when I’ve done such a cruel thing to you. Even if I were to die, I will never forget the kindness you’ve shown me.”

Leticia stretched her two hands out between the iron bars. Rihannan stepped closer in order to give the poison bottle to her. Igor gazed with caution as she did so. Just as the bottle filled with poison was about to be handed to Leticia, Leticia grabbed the poison bottle in her hand and slammed it hard down on the iron bar of the jail cell. At the same time, she grabbed Rihannan with the other hand.

Crash!

As the poison bottle broke, fragments of glass and splatterings of liquid fell onto the floor. However, the biggest glass piece was still held tightly within Leticia’s hand.

“Die!”

Leticia pulled Rihannan’s neck closely to her. Just as the piece of glass soaked with blood was about to stab Rihannan’s neck, her body was quickly pulled backwards.

“Rihannan!”

Igor pulled Rihannan from Leticia’s arms as if he was practically ripping her away from Leticia. Falling into his embrace, he first checked Rihannan’s neck. Finding that there was no wound to be found at all, Igor let out a sigh of relief. If he was not keeping his eyes on Leticia at that moment, the sharp piece of glass would have made a fatal wound on Rihannan’s neck.

His eyes filled with anger and flame immediately turned towards Leticia.
