The villain's goal is to save the heroine

Regardless of whether the method to remove the aphrodisiac is true or false, Lin En's behavior is really unreasonable.

He wanted to cancel the engagement again, and even told her how to remove the aphrodisiac...

What does he want to do?

What's the motivation?

Cecilia couldn't understand Lynn's behavior.

“…Didn’t I say that?” Lynn looked at Cecilia with a strange expression.

How come there are still people trying to get to the bottom of this pie in the sky thing?

Isn't this definitely good for her?

Of course, as the saying goes, when things are out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on. Cecilia's wariness of him was understandable. After all, their relationship had always been bad. While they had had some physical contact in the Sacred Forest, that wasn't a big deal. Fundamentally, their relationship was always bad.

"Even if I apologize for the drugging incident and the incident at the 'Forest of the Sacred Trees', is that a problem?"

Chapter 254 Subtle Misunderstanding

"Have."

Facing Lynn's question, Cecilia nodded without hesitation.

"You used words like 'just as long as' and 'even if'."

The girl said as she took a sip of her tea.

"This is clearly perfunctory. You said before that the marriage is a major event, a crucial bond of trust between the two families. Compared to that, your reasoning seems like playing house. It doesn't convince me, nor Perez."

Cecilia was even willing to marry "Lynn" for Rostock, so it was impossible for her to ignore the political and economic benefits that Noel brought.

She is a sober person and the eldest daughter of the Perez family. Emotional things are indeed not suitable for Cecilia.

but…

"Yes, you are right. A marriage is something that ties two families together..."

But because they are bound together, they have to be separated.

Lynn didn't say this, but that's the truth.

Perez was a man of action, a true noble. They worked hard to improve the lives of their subjects and protect Kafa from the threat of the Kingdom of Lorraine. They had already exhausted their efforts in this regard and should not have been drawn into political struggles. The so-called marriage was merely to protect the territory and guard against the restive Kingdom of Lorraine. How could a relationship with the ambitious Noel be a good thing?

Lynn couldn't help but look at Cecilia again, looking at the girl who still had no expression, thinking about how to respond to her question.

It would not work to be perfunctory. Cecilia is not someone who can be fooled.

So, should I tell Cecilia about Noel's situation?

To be honest, Lynn really wanted to do that.

He didn't want to lie to a girl like Cecilia. Besides, talking things out would make the other party give up, which was in line with his true feelings and the current situation.

嗏

If you think about it, Lin En isn't a good person. He was the one who caused the aphrodisiac poisoning incident first, and now asking him to say, "I'm breaking off the engagement for your own good" is really hypocritical.

Since Cecilia has clearly expressed her aversion to the marriage and her indifference to the relationship, there's no need to worry too much, right? As long as it's in line with both parties' wishes, isn't it fine?

"That's true, but the premise of a marriage is that it can satisfy the interests of both parties, right?" Lin En looked away and said calmly, "Noel can provide Perez with funds and establish trade routes, but what can Perez bring to Noel?"

Although it is true that they can provide the troops that Noel needs, that is already in the fourth volume.

"There's nothing, right? The original reason for the marriage was simply because the Perez family had an outstanding daughter..."

Although this is not the main reason.

"But, you should have noticed, right? I'm no longer that interested in you... well, except for kendo. I do admire your pursuit of the sword. But that's all. It has nothing to do with profit; it's just out of personal curiosity and admiration. The fundamental reason for breaking off the engagement is that Perez is no longer valuable to Noel. Do you understand now?"

Lynn said as she looked back at Cecilia.

Cecilia stared at him silently, blinking occasionally, but with no expression. Nothing useful could be read from her face.

The silence lasted for a while, and then Cecilia suddenly said, "So, this is why you and the Saint appeared in the bathroom?"

"ha…?"

Cecilia's words almost made Lynn spit out the tea he had just drunk.

Why did you suddenly mention Latia?

Well, this is indeed a problem. The "Villain Diary" has already stated that his strange relationship with Latia cannot be discovered by others.

But now Cecilia knows, and...

It seems like I misunderstood something.

"Because the church can better satisfy Noel's interests, there is no need to marry Perez... Is that right?" Cecilia continued to ask without moving.

Although the truth is far from this, but...

It seems that this misunderstanding is not bad.

"Things may be a little off, but it's okay if you understand it this way," Lin En said.

Anyway, he hasn't admitted it. If it's a misunderstanding, then let the other party continue to misunderstand it.

Cecilia was silent for a moment, then lowered her head slightly, her gaze fixed on the table. "I understand. If that's the case, I have no reason to refuse. I will discuss this with my father as soon as possible."

"That would be best." Lynn felt a little relieved when he heard that.

Regardless, his goal had been achieved. This way, whether it was Cecilia or Perez, at least the tragedy in the game wouldn't happen again, which made up for the regrets he had while playing the game.

"But you can rest assured," Lynn continued, "The dissolution of the engagement will not affect Noel and Perez's existing cooperation. The established trade will not be cancelled. It's just that many interests may be redistributed. It won't affect Rostock's operations."

"Yeah." Cecilia just responded lightly.

"But in exchange, the matter between me and Miss Saint... well, I hope you can keep it a secret."

But Lin En felt that something was wrong, because it sounded a bit like bribery, so Lin En added:

"This is similar to how our marriage couldn't be made public in a timely manner. This matter also has some deeper meanings. I hope you can understand."

But these words seemed to irritate Cecilia. She suddenly raised her head, but didn't show anything. She just stared at Lin En for a long time, and then slowly uttered a word:

"it is good."

Still can't feel any emotional fluctuations.

Because Cecilia herself is a cold, three-no girl, it is not easy to read her inner thoughts.

But no matter what the other party was thinking, the second thing that was expected was resolved.

Lynn felt a little relieved.

Latia is not someone who can get into trouble in the second volume. As a restraining thug who comes to pursue the Witch Cult, if Seaberg can't think straight, it will be a question whether he can survive the ravages of the "Dead Soul Fire".

After these two things are done...

"The final question is this." Lin En placed the 'pregnancy preparation pills' he had prepared on the table. "I've already told you the solution to the aphrodisiac. It might be a bit overwhelming, but there's still plenty of time for you to make a choice. I'll send you the rest of the pills later. Just be careful with the dosage and you should be fine for two to three months."

Cecilia remained silent upon hearing this, while Lin En extended his hand and said:

"So, can you return the 'Ice Heart Pendant' to me?"

Chapter 255 Is there something wrong with the "Ice Heart Pendant"?

The "Ice Heart Pendant", a holy relic that appeared in the first volume of the game, was originally intended to be taken for Cecilia as a last resort to deal with aphrodisiac poisoning, but as the "Villain's Diary" said, Lynn was the one who needed this thing more.

He did not have Cecilia's amazing willpower. Leaving the Ice Heart Pendant would undoubtedly be a disaster for him. If it weren't for the "clang" sound that reminded him, he would probably have sunk into carnal desires today!

Although I was furious at the time, I did want to thank the other party in retrospect.

On the other hand...

Obviously, the most powerful thing about the item "Ice Heart Pendant" is that it can reverse the curse of Tiangang and use it as a cultivation accelerator!

By converting "pink" into magic power, Lin En is gaining some extra experience all the time. As long as the power is not too strong like before, the "Ice Heart Pendant" can be said to be a physical plug-in!

Lin En really needs the "Ice Heart Pendant".

嗏

"You can't take this for now." Cecilia said.

This answer made Lin En slightly stunned. He didn't expect the other party to give a rejection.

"What's the reason?" Lin En didn't feel angry but rather curious.

Cecilia is not the kind of person who would hold on to something and not return it. She would definitely have an irrefutable reason for doing so.

"There's something wrong with it."

"Something's wrong?"

"The 'Divine Fire' ignites everything I understand, and reveals the true nature of things I don't understand."

“Hmm? Is…is that so…?”

This was the first time Lin En had heard of such a thing. Because Cecilia's "fighting scenes" in the game were too abundant, players did not have a deep understanding of her abilities.

Then Cecilia said, "I discovered something in the Sacred Tree Forest. This pendant holds someone's power, similar to astrology, and it's already affecting you. It's best you don't touch it until I destroy it."

"what?!"

Cecilia's words really shocked Lynn.

The Ice Heart Pendant holds the power of someone, and...

Has it already affected him? !

When did this happen?

No, how could that be possible? He clearly...

and many more!

If you think about it carefully, the origin of the "Ice Heart Pendant" is the stone statue in the underground "16 Palaces".

That was not an ordinary stone statue. Little Loli once introduced that the owner of the statue was Mavis Russell, a great magician in the history of Kafa who was capable of supporting an era.

A woman who betrayed the kingdom and attempted to sacrifice millions of Siena people to achieve a certain goal, almost bringing disaster to Caffa.

at the same time!

She is also the woman who appears like a ghost on the ruins at the end of the fourth volume of the game.

Lin En didn't know what would happen after the fourth volume, but Mavis definitely couldn't be a passerby character!

Can…

The "Ice Heart Pendant" comes from such a character.

Cecilia wasn't lying when she said the Ice Heart Pendant had some kind of power.

but…

Has it affected him?

Why didn't he feel anything at all?

"Do you know what that impact is?" Lynn asked quickly.

He really couldn't imagine when he had been attacked inexplicably. Lin En was also eager to know what happened, but...

"I don't know." Cecilia said calmly, "This is all I can understand, and it's already my limit."

"This... is really bad news..." Lin En couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

People are always afraid of the unknown, and he is no exception.

and…

Can I still live without the Ice Heart Pendant?

"Is it like 'astrology'...?"

Lin En stroked his chin and muttered something. Now that this major was mentioned, a person came to his mind...

Shisha!

The heroines of "Fallen Girl" are not strictly speaking vase-like characters. Although Vivian and Xisha are not good at fighting, they have extraordinary abilities in certain areas.
