"This……"

"Hmph... it doesn't matter if you don't look familiar."

Elgeri threw away the hair in her hand and put one arm on Xing Feng's ear. Her figure enveloped Xing Feng like a dark shadow, trapping him firmly under her aura.

"Anyway, I will return her to you bit by bit until you recognize her completely."

Elgeri said something terrifying when you think about it, like a cruel predator who takes pleasure in intimidating its prey.

Xing Feng's eyes widened and his breathing stopped. He didn't dare to imagine what she would do to Letty.

After tasting Xing Feng's fear, Elgeri smiled with satisfaction and gently stroked his lips with her fingertips.

"Think carefully before I lose my patience. If I lose my patience, then..."

Elgeri's voice suddenly deepened, and the murderous intent made the air tense.

"enough!"

Farah shouted and suddenly appeared in front of Xing Feng, protecting him behind her without any intention of backing down.

Elgeri smiled and looked up at Farah and her own position.

Tsk tsk tsk...he is really good at making her look like a wicked villain.

But she doesn't care.

Eljieli leaned lazily against the wall, crossed her arms over her chest, looked at Farah and said:

"Do you think you can protect him? Don't forget, you wanted to use him to stir up conflict between the Empire and the Holy See. If you really cared about him, why didn't you take him away at that time?"

Eljeli's words seemed to be directed to Farah, but they hit Xing Feng directly in the heart.

Noticing the struggle on Xing Feng's face, Elgeri raised the corners of her mouth slightly and revealed a smug smile.

"Oh, by the way, did Farah tell you about your eyes?"

Xing Feng was stunned and looked at Eljieli with a confused expression.

"Oh, it seems I'm still hiding it from you. It's a pity that we've been sleeping in the same bed for so long."

Elgeri spoke carelessly, but every word was as sharp as a knife.

Farah remained silent. Although she tried her best to maintain her elegance and calmness, the slight trembling in her eyes revealed her inner turmoil.

Seeing Farah being defeated, Elgeri felt happy, but her offensive was far from over.

"Yes, I did deliberately dye the holy seal in your eyes black, I admit that, but my actions are nothing compared to Farah's. After all, I never thought of changing your mind."

"But Farah, she's even more extreme than me. She even wanted to completely control your mind at one point. Is this why you want to stay? You're being kept captive by Farah like a fool, and you still think she's so kind."

"You are so stupid, Xing Feng." Eljie shook her head and sighed, her face full of sarcasm.

Xing Feng looked at Farah who was standing in front of him in disbelief, and suddenly found that her hands were shaking slightly.

Eljieli continued without any concern: "However, what I find most ridiculous is the punishment today. Farah actually knew the whole process. She just stood outside and waited for me to finish while listening to your wailing and begging for mercy. The treatment for your eyes was just a crude sharing of vision. I couldn't cure it back then, so Farah can't cure it for you either."

"enough!"

Farah finally spoke, her voice filled with suppressed anger.

At this moment, she was no longer the queen who had everything under control, but a fragile woman who was forced into a desperate situation.

"Hmm hahahahaha."

Looking at Farah's appearance, Elgeri couldn't help but burst into laughter. Her devilish laughter echoed in the room, as if announcing her victory.

When the laughter stopped, Elgeri even felt that her initial anger had mostly subsided.

It's so refreshing and enjoyable!

She waved her hand and said to Xing Feng in a relaxed tone: "When you figure it out, I will take you away from here. Follow me, and at least you won't become an empty shell puppet without self-awareness."

After saying that, Elgeri pushed the door open and was about to leave the room, almost bumping into a curly-haired maid who was bringing drinks to the door.

The maid was startled and saw the tea splashing and about to fall, but the next second she was standing beside the door in a daze.

"Ugh?"

The maid looked at everything in her hands that had returned to normal, as if the collision had never happened. Elgeri put her hand on her shoulder and pushed her away.

The cold gaze made the maid's throat tighten. She quickly stood up and closed her eyes tremblingly.

Elgeri raised the corner of her mouth slightly, secretly achieving the real purpose of this trip, and then walked away without paying attention to the people behind her.

When she arrived at the gate of Rose Castle, Elgeri looked back at the clusters of blood-red roses.

A chuckle...

...

"Go out first." Farah waved away the maid outside the door.

The maid also realized that the atmosphere was not right, and nodded and left.

So for a moment, Xing Feng and Farah were the only ones left in the huge room.

There was a heavy sense of depression in the air.

Xing Feng was silent for a long time, and finally raised his head, his eyes full of pain and disappointment.

"Is what Elgeri said true?"

Farah's body trembled slightly. Facing Xing Feng's questioning, she couldn't escape.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

Then he nodded gently...

The truth was like a cold blade, cutting off Xing Feng's last glimmer of hope.

She thought Farah would refute the accusations, comfort herself not to think too much, or even hug him tightly.

But he never expected that Farah would choose to admit it reluctantly.

At this moment, he was sure that everything Elgeri said was true.

But he obviously didn't care whether Farah had stood by and watched him die, nor did he care how his eyes were healed.

He cares because he takes the initiative to give his true heart to others.

But now, he doesn't even know how much of his "sincerity" is true and how much is false?

If Farah really cared about me, why...why didn't she ever tell him...

She really did all this, but she still chose to hide it from herself.

At this moment, Xing Feng's heart seemed to be torn apart and the pain was unbearable.

He didn't say another word, just turned around silently and left the room with a staggering gait.

Farah was alone, sitting back in the mahogany chair.

Her hands trembled slightly as she clenched the glass.

The red wine that symbolizes power and elegance suddenly became extremely bitter.

Before she could even take a sip of the wine, the broken glass was already grasped in her hand, and the blood mixed with the red wine dripped onto the floor.

...

Chapter 138 Do me a "small favor"

The morning sun rises again,

Xing Feng was still lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling, and had not slept all night.

Insomnia made him mentally exhausted, but what was worse than the mental exhaustion was his anxious heart.

Farah tried to erase his consciousness. Logically, he should have felt angry or scared.

But at this moment, he just felt disappointed, a deep and indescribable disappointment.

There was no raging anger in his heart, only loss and confusion, as if he had already been mentally prepared for Farah's behavior.

But when he really faced it, he still couldn't get rid of that deep feeling of powerlessness.

Xing Feng closed his eyes, trying to drive away those uneasy thoughts, but Farah's face, her smile, her silence, and the recognition at that moment kept appearing in his mind.

Totally incomprehensible...

Even if it was just to lie to him...why wouldn't Farah want to lie at that moment?

Xing Feng murmured softly, his brows furrowed, but no matter how he thought, the answer was still as unclear as a fog.

Eljeli's threat and the fact that Letty was captured also gave Xing Feng a headache.

Although he still had some resentment towards Letty's previous compulsive behavior, he knew that Letty's situation was largely caused by him.

Thinking of Elgeri's cruel methods, Xing Feng couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart, and he almost couldn't imagine what she would do to Letty.

"If...if I had enough power, would everything be different?" Xing Feng clenched his fists weakly.

At this moment, Candice moved slightly beside him, interrupting his thoughts.

Looking at Candice curled up comfortably in bed, making a cat-like "purring" sound in her throat, Xing Feng felt a little warm in his heart.

Since becoming pregnant, Candice has become extremely sleepy and even her usual level of alertness has been greatly reduced.

When the sunlight shone through the curtains and spread warmly into the room, Candice gradually woke up in the sunlight.

She stretched lazily, and the blanket covering her body slid to the ground as she moved.

She was stunned for a moment, as if a little surprised that she was sleeping in bed, but when she saw Xing Feng was awake, she immediately jumped up to him excitedly.

"Xing Feng, you're awake!"

Candice was like a coquettish kitten. She licked Xing Feng's face with her soft pink tongue and rubbed her head constantly.

However, the excited Candice soon noticed that something was wrong with Xing Feng.

Xing Feng did not resist as usual, nor did he respond to her intimacy, and this was wrong, very wrong!

Candice sat up from Xing Feng, her tail wagging gently.

Her voice trembled a little, her eyes revealed a hint of uneasiness, and then she asked cautiously.

"Xing Feng, did I make you angry in some way? I'm sorry, I was too excited just now and shouldn't have licked you..."

Xing Feng shook his head and reached out to rub Candice's head as she was reflecting on herself.

"No, Candice. You didn't make me angry. I just... wanted to be alone."

Candice nodded obediently. Although there was still some worry in her eyes, she did not ask any more questions. Instead, she stood up quietly and said softly, "Okay, then I'll go out first and you have a good rest."

After saying that, she left obediently and closed the door gently, leaving Xing Feng alone.

The room was silent again, but Xing Feng still couldn't fall asleep.

He finally couldn't lie down any longer, so he threw back the quilt, stood up, put on his clothes, and prepared to go out for some fresh air.

His mind was in a mess and he needed some fresh air to clear his thoughts.

Just as he walked to the window, Xing Feng suddenly found a person standing outside the courtyard wall downstairs, holding an umbrella and standing quietly in the morning light.

The sun shines through the mist and shines on the umbrella, forming a soft halo. The edge of the umbrella is slightly lifted, revealing the cool and beautiful face under the umbrella.

Lisa looked up at Xing Feng, as if she could see through all the worries and confusions in his heart.

Xing Feng and Lisa looked at each other and were slightly shocked.

He knew that Lysa had not passed by by chance, but had deliberately stood there waiting for him.

Why is she here? Xing Feng wondered.

But in the end, he decided to go meet Lysa.

Perhaps, talking to her would help him clear his mind a little.

...

Stepping out of the castle, Lisa still stood there quietly

The parasol was tilted slightly, hiding most of her figure, and her temperament was cold and distant, as if she was isolated from the world.
