The villain's goal is to save the heroine

Thinking of this, Lin En couldn't help but look at her a little longer. However, Dora had clearly noticed his gaze, but she was no longer serving him as cautiously as before. So...

"She has confessed to me." After Dora served the tea and left, Cecilia spoke as if she had guessed his thoughts.

There were only two of them left in the room.

And it is a girl's bedroom.

But there was nothing special about it. Cecilia was a girl who would not feel shy even if she was naked. Her bedroom was no different from an ordinary guest room and was very monotonous.

"What are you confessing?" Lin En asked in a conservative manner.

But Cecilia was not one to beat around the bush. She either kept silent or said:

"You threatened her family and asked her to drug me every day."

It's so upright that it makes people ashamed.

So Lin En could only say shamelessly: "Then you should understand that she betrayed you."

"She has confessed to me."

"If she can betray you once, she will do it a second time."

"She betrayed me once, so it won't happen again."

"..."

Lynn was speechless.

Although betrayal and trust are two completely opposite words, their relationship is very close and complex. For example, Dora was originally loyal but was forced to betray. This should have been an unforgivable crime, but Cecilia chose to trust again. For such a kindness, anyone with a conscience should repay it with their life, right?

I can only say that Cecilia is worthy of being the Duke's eldest daughter, and she is very magnanimous.

In comparison, "Lynn" is simply a waste and is indeed unworthy of such a perfect heroine. The difference is comparable to that between a beautiful girl and a greasy middle-aged uncle. She is disgusting in every aspect.

"Okay, Cecilia, what do you think about our political marriage?" Lin En asked.

"engagement?"

Obviously, Lin En's actions were no longer within Cecilia's logic. The girl couldn't help but look up and cast a suspicious glance at him:

"What does it mean?"

"That's just what I mean." Lin En crossed his legs nonchalantly. "Don't you hate this?"

Cecilia fell silent upon hearing this and did not immediately answer Lynn's question.

The fact is, although her opinion of Lin En has completely changed, she is still very resistant to such a fundamental issue as marriage.

This was not something she did voluntarily, but a sacrifice made by her family and the entire Rostock region.

This is a shadow in her heart.

Cecilia's persistence and pursuit of kendo was initially motivated by the desire to one day take control of her own destiny!

and so…

"Of course." Cecilia was silent for a moment before answering in the affirmative. "Even today, I hate this marriage with all my heart."

In fact, this was not the first time Cecilia said this in front of "Lynn". A large part of the reason why "Lynn" went to the extent of drugging her was due to Cecilia's inner disgust and rejection. Based on the mentality of revenge and conquest, "Lynn" resorted to the most despicable means.

If it were the Lin En of the past, he would have been extremely angry when he heard this, but the current Lin En just said as if he was relieved:

"Really? Well, that's good."

There was no gnashing of teeth, nor was there any outburst of anger. Although Cecilia already knew that Lin En had changed a lot, this gap between before and after...

Cecilia felt a delicate mood.

Lin En's eyes were a little vague. He asked, "So, what do you think about the matter of the 'Forest of the Sacred Trees'?"

"'Forest of the Sacred Trees'..."

Cecilia muttered a sentence, and then she was visibly stunned.

Although many things happened in the "Forest of the Sacred Tree", there was only one thing worth mentioning between her and Lin En.

A perfect blend of water and milk.

That is something that is impossible to forget.

As the saying goes, everything has its limits. The curse and aphrodisiac that transcend human nature have already put the two of them under maximum pressure. Once they are released, the physical and mental satisfaction will be like a landslide or tsunami. The physical intimacy and the crazy wildness of demanding from each other are enough to be imprinted into the soul. Just thinking about it is enough to make people eager to make a move!

嗏

"It was just an accident," Cecilia responded.

Although her mind was distracted for a moment, the "Ice Heart Pendant" allowed her to regain her composure to the greatest extent.

So what if it’s unforgettable?

So what if I'm ready to make a move?

There was no way she would be kidnapped by something like this.

Although…

She had actually been kidnapped a long time ago.

But Lin En didn't know, so he continued to ask: "Don't you have any other ideas?"

Yes, Cecilia had the Ice Heart Pendant, but Lynn didn't. Rationally, he shouldn't have had such a taurenish attitude towards the woman he was trying to save. But perhaps because he was still relatively traditional, since the matter was already settled, he naturally felt a desire to take responsibility.

Although this may bring misfortune to Cecilia,...

He still wanted to do that.

only…

"No, it's just the result of the drug and the curse. It's not my will, and I can't change anything." Cecilia said without changing her expression.

This is very Cecilia.

In the game, "Lin En" provided much more physical satisfaction than he did. Under the influence of the aphrodisiac, Cecilia also had her moments of depravity, but as soon as she picked up the sword again, the original Cecilia would return, making her completely depraved almost impossible.

So Cecilia's chance of falling is "low".

"That's it..."

Upon hearing this, Lin En couldn't help but look out the window, and a wave of disappointment surged in his heart.

He couldn't say what he was disappointed about. He obviously didn't have much emotion, but he had a subtle feeling of resentment. It was hard to say whether it was possessiveness or something else. In short, he seemed a little depressed.

However, in a sense, this is also a kind of luck.

He had no intention of doing anything to Cecilia. Just as Cecilia said, everything that happened in the barrier was indeed an accident from beginning to end. He had already been a minotaur once, so how could he be addicted to it?

"That's fine... In that case, Cecilia, let's consider breaking off the engagement."

Chapter 253 Showdown with Cecilia

Breaking off the engagement wasn't something that Lin En came up with out of the blue.

The fact is, Noel is destined to be destroyed by the inertia of the huge process.

This is not a question of whether or not one wants to change it, or whether or not one can change it. Just like how Claire and Cecilia eventually appeared in "Lirines", the restorative power of history will always carry the process forward in unexpected angles.

It is already difficult to shake the situation even a little bit, not to mention that Noel is at the center of the storm, which is not something that can be changed by human power.

So, since it is clear that Noel will destroy this basic point, isn't the marriage with Perez a trap?

In 99% of the game lines, Cecilia will die in the fourth volume, and after Cecilia's death, it will be the turn of the entire Perez family.

They were not killed directly, but died as filler babies on the front line of the battle with the Kingdom of Lorraine under the order of the Grand Princess!

Dying as a hero instead of being executed as a rebel was the last kindness the princess ever showed him.

But Lynn didn't want that to happen.

Kafa has a lot of garbage, but Perez doesn't.

The Rostock region is recognized as the poorest region in the country, with many Gobi and desert areas, and people live in extreme poverty.

Perez not only takes care of the livelihood of his subjects, but also serves as a barrier to the west against the Kingdom of Lorraine and firmly guards the country's gates.

They were true aristocrats, rare heroes who fought for the people. It could be said that they were a family of loyal warriors and should not have met such an end.

Now, Noel has become involved with the "Knights of the Stigmata", and the method to remove the aphrodisiac has been written in the diary. Although it is a pity that Cecilia is no longer completely new, compared to the game, if the price of saving her is only two hours that Cecilia herself will not care about at all, such an ending is still acceptable.

In other words, from the perspective of saving Cecilia, severing ties with the Perez family was something that needed to be done in advance.

Whether it was the attitude Mona had begun to show, or the appearance of the "Ebony Knights" and the "Stigmata Knights", the conflict in the capital had probably already begun. If this matter was not dealt with in advance, Perez would probably not be able to clear himself by then.

This was something Lynn had anticipated.

Of course, Cecilia had never imagined that Lynn would suddenly propose to cancel the engagement.

She usually had a blank expression, but after hearing Lin En's words, her whole body trembled slightly, and an incredible expression appeared on her face:

"You mean... to cancel the engagement?"

Cecilia would never have thought that Lin En would take the initiative to bring up such a thing!

However, Lin En just casually shook his hand and said, "Yes, cancel the engagement. You can rest assured that I will not let the Perez family suffer any losses. Noel will bear all the responsibility as the party who broke the contract and give Perez the compensation he deserves."

Anyway, if you don’t spend the money now, it won’t be yours when the time comes.

Lynn added in her heart.

But even though she said that, Cecilia couldn't react at all.

She was just a little concerned about the saint lady in the bathroom and couldn't help but want to find out what was going on, but Lin En raised the bar too high, leaving her unprepared.

She never expected that her hard work would not have any effect at all, but the other party easily achieved the goal she had been trying to achieve with just one sentence.

This sense of déjà vu is really similar to the disgusting words of "Lin En" back then -

"...Becoming stronger? There's absolutely no need for that, Cecilia! You're just one person. Even if you become stronger, you can't bring enough benefits to the Perez family. However, as long as you unite with Noel, you can immediately bring about a qualitative change! Hehehe, don't you understand? As a woman, you are much more useful than as a knight!"

This feeling made Cecilia very dissatisfied, so she asked, "What's the reason?"

"Huh? A reason...?"

Lin En couldn't help but take a sip of tea, thinking to herself, Cecilia is Cecilia. If it were any other girl who hated her fiancé to that extent, she would probably agree to it right away. Cecilia actually wanted a reason, which was really interesting.

"Just consider it an apology for the drugging incident and the incident in the 'Forest of the Sacred Trees'. I'll give you your freedom." Lin En put down the teacup and said.

However, the mention of drugging reminded him of the incident in the Villain's Diary, so he continued, "Oh, by the way, speaking of freedom, I actually stumbled upon a method to remove the aphrodisiac poison. Are you interested in hearing about it?"

This made Cecilia stunned again. She felt that the situation was too favorable to her and she couldn't help but doubt the other party's purpose.

"What method?" Cecilia asked again.

It doesn't matter if she just listens to it, but if she is forced to give up kendo or something, there is no way she will accept it.

"Well, it's actually very simple. As long as you successfully get pregnant, the effect will disappear. To put it bluntly, aphrodisiacs are for sexual intercourse, and the end result of sexual intercourse is pregnancy, right? It's really an incredible drug. If you can't get pregnant, you can't stop doing that kind of thing at all." Lin En said frivolously.

He really thought that the person who made this medicine was a talent. This was simply a miracle drug for dealing with difficult women like Cecilia!

But Cecilia had a completely different feeling.

The method to remove the aphrodisiac is...

Pregnant?

Unexpected, but reasonable.

After all, even the church didn't find anything unusual, so perhaps the drug itself wasn't really a poison.

In the madness of the "Forest of the Sacred Tree", she actually vaguely felt the desire to get pregnant. Lin En was not lying.

嗏

Pregnancy is not something that can be accomplished alone.

This sounds simple, but there is a practical problem...

she…

Who should I get pregnant for?

Cecilia had never thought about this kind of question. There was no answer in her mind at all. It was like a fairy tale.

She couldn't accept it.

"What's the reason?" Cecilia asked again.
