Chapter 576: Lyall’s Version Of Love [Part 1]

Right after leaving Dud Manor, Lyall wanted to blow off some steam.

With this in mind, she headed to the Great Eagle Forest, planning to find something she could punch repeatedly to oblivion until all her frustrations were vented.

But just as she was about to enter the forest, she noticed someone up ahead.

Although she was still a distance away, Lyall quickly recognized that the figure she saw was none other than Chloe.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" Lyall asked as she increased her speed to catch up to Ethan's cousin.

"Lyall?" Chloe blinked. "What are you doing here?"

"Hey! I asked first!"

"… I just plan to take a stroll inside the forest for a bit."

"A stroll? Perfect! I also plan to take a little stroll since Ethan is hiding from me."

Knowing why the young man was hiding from Lyall, the corner of Chloe's lips curled up a bit.

Lily's sister was very straightforward, stubborn, deadly, and wouldn't take no for an answer.

With that kind of personality, any kind of discussion would be thrown out of the window, so the only thing that Ethan could do was hide from her.

"I'm sure he's feeling very stressed out right now," Chloe said as she continued to walk deeper into the forest.

"And how about you?" Lyall asked. "Why did you distance yourself from him? Back then, I could tell that you really liked him. Heck, I even felt the strand of killing intent from you back when my brother was fighting against him in the Coliseum."

Chloe didn't reply and simply kept walking.

"Hey, I'm talking to you~" Lyall said sweetly. "Why did you distance yourself from Ethan? Lily told me that you didn't like sharing him with other girls because you grew up in a monogamous family. But I can tell that it was just an excuse."

Once again Chloe kept her silence, making Lyall frown.

A moment later, Lily's sister blocked Chloe's path and grabbed her robe, lifting her high up in the air with one hand.

"My sister told me that she agreed to let Ethan have five wives and one concubine," Lyall said as she stared at the girl in her hand with a devilish smile on her face. "Since you're distancing yourself from him, then give your position to me. Tell him that I'll take your slot. In return, I will do any favor you ask of me, deal?"

Chloe looked down on Lyall with a calm expression, not looking uncomfortable in the slightest. Despite the fact that the older girl had her in her grasp, she didn't show any signs of discomfort and simply stared at Lyall as if telling her to let her go.

Lyall clicked her tongue, but she didn't let go of Chloe's robe. Instead, she took a stroll in the forest while holding the young lady in her hand as if she were an umbrella.

If Ethan was there, Lyall would definitely not do such a thing since she didn't want the young man to hate her.

She was just very annoyed because Chloe had something she didn't have, yet the latter was not taking advantage of it.

Lyall was sure that if she were the one whom Ethan loved instead of Chloe, she would definitely be pregnant with his child by now.

The Beastkin was a race who revered the strong, and right now, there was no better Mate in Lyall's eyes than Ethan.

Frankly, she thought that she wouldn't find someone who was as strong as her father.

But every time she saw him, he only got stronger and stronger, making her feel that if she didn't act now, other ladies would take more space in Ethan's heart, leaving her with nothing.

Seff had always told his children that if they wanted something, they should fight for it. It didn't matter what their background was. He assured his children that if anyone bullied them, he would come running and beat the crap out of them.

With such a powerful backer behind her, Lyall had grown carefree and unhindered.

In fact, among Lily's brothers and sisters, Lyall was the most unique of them… and probably the most dangerous one as well.

Lyall wasn't the strongest among them, but she was still the most dangerous. Even her father, Seff, could tell that his daughter was far too fearless and unhinged compared to his other children.

Even so, he had learned to accept her for who she was and would fight anyone who would harm his daughter.

The reason why Seff also allowed Lyall to accompany Ethan back to Brynhildr Academy was to make the young man understand what kind of girl she was.

Whether Ethan would learn to appreciate Lyall or not, Seff would not lift a finger and allow them to make their feelings known to each other.

It didn't matter if it was love or hate.

If Ethan loved Lyall, then Seff was fine with that.

If he didn't, Seff would respect his decision.

However, he would definitely beat him half to death as punishment for breaking her daughter's heart.

Several minutes later, a hum spread in the forest as Lyall walked, still holding Chloe like a parasol. Any animal within hundreds of meters away from her would run away in fright because they could tell that a dangerous predator was approaching them.

The young lady didn't even bother to hide her presence or killing intent and seemed to be perfectly alright even after parading Chloe in the forest with only one hand for a long time. S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Lyall, I finally understand why you're having a hard time making Ethan like you," Chloe commented, which made Lyall stop humming.

"Oh?" Lyall arched an eyebrow. "Tell me why you think that way."

"It's because you don't love him," Chloe replied.

"But I do love him!" Lyall stated. "I love him more than you do! I love him more than Lily's love for him. I love him more than his other lovers do!"

Chloe sighed. "No. You don't love him. What you want from him is not his heart, but his seed."

Lyall frowned after hearing the young lady's reply. But when she was about to refute it, she found herself unable to do so.

Her strong obsession for Ethan was purely because he was strong. Aside from that, she couldn't come up with another reason as to why she was so smitten with him.

If the young man hadn't been as powerful as he was, Lyall wouldn't even bother to look in his direction and would probably treat him like air.

When this realization hit her, her hands loosened a bit, causing Chloe to slip out of her grasp.

Fortunately, the young lady was prepared, so the moment Lyall's grip loosened, she managed to land properly on the ground.

However, instead of running away, she stood her ground and looked at the confused lady in front of her with pity.

A few minutes of silence passed.

Even the Forest itself was dead silent, with not a single chirp from birds nor a single buzz from insects.

Lyall's presence had scared them all away, making them escape as far away as they could.

When she finally regained her composure, Lyall's unsteady gaze locked onto Chloe as if seeing her for the first time.

"Hey~ if I eat your heart, will Ethan love me?" Lyall asked, her voice sexy and deadly at the same time.

Her eyes were cold, and the fingernails on her hand extended, ready to pierce Chloe's chest in an instant.

She wanted to take out her warm and beating heart, which she believed to be the one thing that Ethan wanted the most.

E/N: I deserve mental compensation if Lyall becomes one of his wives. I refuse. If it happens, I'll rewrite the chapter and pray you don't notice.
