Chapter 326: Chapter 210 Tiya, Sadder than a Dead Heart_2
Thinking of this, Lynn’s heart turned completely cold.
Since there always has to be a villain, why couldn’t it be me?
Gazing at the elf girl seemingly plunged into confusion and astonishment, Lynn tenderly stroked her head with a gentle expression.
Though it seemed affectionate, anyone with clear eyes could feel the coldness and ruthlessness in his own.
Under the influence of the Lie Swallowing, Tiya’s body seemed trapped in a kind of confinement—it wasn’t that the gap in strength between them was too great, but that she had just gone through a fierce battle, was heavily injured, and was extremely weak.
Moreover, after the attempts in the afternoon, Lynn had temporarily escaped the punishment of causality and gained the ability to move freely.
Of course, as time passed, a feeling that he was losing something welled up inside him.
Lynn was well aware that such things did not come without a cost, but right now he had more important things to do, so he couldn’t spare the thought for it.
“You said… what?”
Tiya’s hand still maintained the gesture of lifting her skirt, revealing the mysterious area wrapped in cotton-white underwear, nakedly exposed before him.
Lynn’s words undoubtedly caused an unprecedented impact on her worldview.
For Tiya, the reason she could engage in a series of actions that did not conform to her character was not only because of the suspension bridge effect, but more so because of hypnosis.
After the initial attempt in the interrogation room, whether you call it curiosity or simplicity.
In either case, Tiya quickly accepted this setting, completely unlike Ivyst.
At the border, the naturally suspicious Princess not only had Milani run a series of tests, but later even cooperated with the Sealed Object ring that can detect lies, repeatedly forcing Lynn into a corner.
And Tiya never doubted much from beginning to end.
Hence, all that absurdity followed.
She even embraced the thought of “it’s fine because it’s hypnosis” to help Lynn with his physiological needs.
For her, such matters were taboo of the taboos, and being able to maintain her current mental state was already beyond expectation.
But at this moment, right now, Tiya, who had approached everything with the mindset of “no one will ever know”, had her worldview utterly destroyed and betrayed.
The girl’s eyes turned slightly red as if she hadn’t yet reacted to his words.
Or perhaps she already understood the true meaning of Lynn’s words, but was still deceiving her own brain.
Disappointment, despair, panic, anger, sadness, plaintiveness, shame…
In an instant, a myriad of emotions surged through her.
Everything was fine when she left in the morning, so why did everything change when she came back home at night?
It was…
It was…
Tiya bit her lower lip fiercely, her small face completely lost all its color, staring fixedly at the young man in front of her.
Please.
Please… don’t go on.
She seemed to be commanding, yet at the same time pleading.
Lynn had never seen such a disheveled expression on Tiya’s face before.
Yet, how could he back down because of such a look now that things had come this far?
Recalling that night when Tiya, in her sleep, subtly called out “Brother Xiya”‘s name, his somewhat soft heart instantly hardened.
I am sorry for unreasonably altering your life’s trajectory in the beginning, leading you to this point.
But no matter what, my world is not yours.
Perhaps, this is the only way I can think of for you to return to your original life.
Don’t worry.
After this, I’ll take care of everything.
With that in mind, a cruel smile appeared on Lynn’s lips.
“As you can see, there really isn’t anything called hypnosis in this world,” he slowly lifted the Moonlight Original Liquid in his hand, uncorking it, “I just thought that it might be interesting to see what would happen, so I went with the flow and deceived you.”
“And indeed, it has proved to be very interesting and very comfortable.”
“Thank you so much, my dear Tiya.”
Lynn grabbed Tiya’s cheeks somewhat imperiously, softly uttering words that could be deemed cruel.
Silver moonlight original liquid slowly fell, dripping into her mouth.
But she seemed as if stricken with a sorrow greater than death, slowly closing her eyes.
At this point, what other way was there to barely escape reality other than this?
As the cold liquid was swallowed, the intense stabbing pain on her shoulder eased a lot.
Yet her heart seemed to have fallen into some bottomless abyss, losing all warmth bit by bit.
Why, why do this to me?
Tears silently slid from the corners of her eyes, her body trembling slightly, like a willow catkin floating in the wind, tottering on the brink of falling.
Yet the boy’s words, akin to an executioner’s decree, were far from over.
She had the right and reason to know all this.
Though it might sound cruel, at this stage, better let her hate herself a bit more.
Only a deeply etched hatred could bring Tiya, whose fate was altered, back on track.
“The second thing I want to say to you is a story.”
Lynn embraced Tiya gently like a lover, which, under normal circumstances, would simultaneously cause her to feel shame and urgently push him away.
But at this moment, Tiya, whose body was restrained, simply closed her eyes tightly, as if evading reality.
In the following minutes, the boy told her a little story about a hero and a witch.
It was trite, nothing more than the hero defeating the villainous witch who troubled the world, eventually living happily ever after with his wives.
However, what followed took a sharp turn.
“As you see, the things I’ve just told you, unless unexpected, are events that are bound to happen in the future.”
“However, due to an accident, a person who exceeded the expectations of the World Will appeared, and, coincidentally, met the witch Miss from a hundred thousand years into the future.”
“That time, the Miss Witch, imprisoned, told him all the truths.”
“And then, she made a request.”
At this point, Lynn leaned over slightly, drawing close to Tiya’s ear, lightly inhaling the girl’s delicate, faint fragrance.
The girl still kept her eyes firmly shut, stubborn yet silently shedding tears.
“She hoped that this person could return to the past, rewrite the destined history, and in doing so, seek revenge against the gods.”
“The first mission she issued…” Lynn said, gently smoothing Tiya’s somewhat disheveled hair, “was to find a certain girl from a hundred thousand years ago who had intricate connections with the Bright Moon Goddess, gain her trust as much as possible, taking advantage of her when she’s most vulnerable.”
“Dear Tiya, care to guess who this girl the witch Miss spoke of could be?”
It was a soft, gentle conversation, that apart from the current atmosphere, would seem like sweet nothings exchanged between lovers.
Yet Tiya’s pale hands were clenched tightly together, blood seeping through her fingers.
Not until now did she finally sense something was amiss.
Recalling their first meeting, he had said that he was the only male protagonist in the twelve years of memories she lost.
The original Tiya would never have believed such an egregiously obvious lie.
Yet, as things unfolded, even though she still said she didn’t believe him, a bit of doubt had emerged deep inside her.
As for the evidence… starting from her initial resistance to his calling her “Voya” to now taking it as normal, isn’t that the simplest and most obvious proof?
But at this moment, Tiya suddenly realized, his way of addressing her seemed to have changed since awhile ago.
He no longer called her “Voya”, but used her real name, like everyone else.
Could it be…
A sense of despair and powerlessness, like never before, overwhelmed her.
“Oh right, I almost forgot to say,” Lynn sighed lightly, sensing the trembling and resistance of the girl in his embrace, “in fact, from the beginning, there was no possibility of us ever being sincere with each other; everything was just a farce, a facade.”
“I wondered when you’d finally realize this, but you, woman, are so naive it’s infuriating.”
“That’s right, Tiya Yohusti.”
“Including those twelve years of memories, everything I’ve told you from the start, all those laughable promises, were to fulfill the mission of the Miss Witch.”
“The reason I chose to come clean with you at this time is because to me, you have lost all your usefulness.”
“That is all.”
What do you think?
