I Am No King's

Chapter 289 – Pretend

I lifted the vibrating candybar phone on the side table of the mattress and stuck it to the ear.

"I gave you permission to speak. Give me your report."

[Ready!]

I listened to the report while letting this man in front of me fondle me. This man, not caring about the phone stuck to my ear, continued to smash his crotch with great energy. Not only that, he continued to play this chest vigorously.

[Rina stayed in the same room as Lugalgin. Then, just now, at 11 o'clock, Tera had made contact with Lugalgin Alhold.]

Tera should have died by evening. However, in order to execute the plan, I deliberately gave the antidote stronger than usual. If the body is autopsied, it will be discovered. However, I'm sure they won't. Rina won't want her sister's body autopsied.

Right now, they must have thought Tera could survive by relying on her persistence. Haha.

"What about the agents and assassins sent?"

[They have all been rounded up by members of Lugalgin's personal security.]

"The information they hold?"

[No problem. They have information that we really want leaked.]

"So, the plan went smoothly, right?"

[Yes.]

"good. With this, I give you the authority and permission to proceed with the plan to phase four."

[Ready! Her Majesty the Queen of Longevity!]

I hung up and put him back on the table.

"Tonight, your rations will be extended. In fact,"

I clutched the man's hand in front of me and pushed him to the side. In an instant, now that our position has been swapped, I'm on top, he's on the bottom. I licked my lips, wet them, while watching the prey before my eyes.

"I'll give you a special service this time."

***

"Gin's."

"Ah, you're finally awake."

When she woke up and realized she was in my arms, Lina immediately revolted. Without a fight from me, he managed to break away. Lina got up and walked away. With only a shirt and panties, he stood on my back.

"I'm sorry, Gin, about last night."

"You–"

"I'm okay. Tera's death did shock me, but how else. I don't want to, I have to take it, right?"

Nah!

"Even though I am sad. Even though I'm crying. Tera won't be back."

Nay!

"All I need is revenge on my mother and everyone in Nina who supported this war. That way, my anger can be muted."

Reflexes, I got up and wrapped my hands around Lina's body from behind.

Rina was not in a fight. He just shut up and looked down.

"Gin, what are you doing? Do you want to use the suspension bridge effect to make me fall for you?"

Honestly, falling for me was the last thing I wanted. However, I can't just say it. I'm not sure how Rina would respond if I said that which was in a state of disintegration.

"I just don't want you to be who I used to be."

"Your old self?"

"Pretend that everything is fine, but it's not."

"But, I'm ba–"

I interrupted Rina. I don't know what's on Lina's mind. However, his body was briefly jolted slightly when I said it.

"It's normal for you to be sad. It's normal for you not to be okay. It's all normal."

"But .. I ... Tera ...."

Lina was unable to give a clear answer. Her voice was sobbing.

I twisted Rina's body and grabbed her, letting Lina immerse her face into mine.

"I promised Tera I'd look after you and protect you."

"But–"

"You're not okay. Crying away. Its alright. It's okay."

"Lw..uaa...."

And, finally, Lina was crying on my chest.

Slowly, I stepped back, bringing our bodies back to the bed. I just rubbed and stroked Rina's back, not saying anything, letting her cry.

If people who didn't know me saw this, they would have thought I had fallen for Rina. Why would an assassin who had cleansed several families want to be the resting place of a woman who should be the enemy? Normal people, or rather those whose minds were only filled with romance, would say the only reason was that I had already fallen for Rina. Unfortunately, no!

Rina is the ticket to prevent me from becoming King. She must lead a rebellion and become Queen Nina in the future. If I just let it go, there is a chance that he will be tricked by others. If I tricked someone else, I couldn't guarantee he wouldn't point his fangs at me.

However, I didn't really do this just for such logical reasons. There is empathy and compassion that arises in me. Previously, I thought that Rina's position was relatively the same as mine in the past, when I found Tasha dead. But from what I see, no! Lina's position was worse than mine in the past! In the past, when Tasha was killed, I made two promises, saved the children of Sargon orphanage and made the Cleinhad family get reciprocal from their treatment.

My promise of revenge to the Cleinhad family was fulfilled quite easily. Without the promise to save the children of the orphanage, I had no idea what would happen after slaughtering the Cleinhad family. I must have lost my way. There's a chance I'll choose to end my life, to catch up with Tasha. However, there is also the possibility that I am directing anger and wrath that has not been lost to all Bana'an citizens. Nothing is impossible.

For Lina, right now, she only had the desire to avenge Tera's death. Without any other wish that could hold her back, Lina could be played with. He can be tricked and direct his revenge on anyone. Rina can be tricked into destroying Nina. Wh why? Because the people of the Kingdom of Nina supported the supreme ruler, the Queen, without questioning anything.

The people of the Kingdom of Nina believed everything the Queen said. In fact, they had not questioned the truth of the news of Lina and Tera's death months before this. Indirectly, the people of Nina were partly responsible for Tera's death.

On the other hand, Rina could also be tricked into aiming for my life. If I had never won a battle royale, the mission of transferring power to another incompetent would not have been carried out. If the mission is never carried out, Tera will not be killed. Rather than Nina kingdom, I will be the target of Rina. It all depends on your point of view and how you say it.

And again, I made a promise to Tera. I'm not the kind of person who will break a promise. So, yes, I will take care of and protect Lina.

After half an hour, Lina finally stopped crying. He broke away and wiped his tears.

"I'm sorry Gin pointed...Gin?"

"What?"

Lina half jumped up and approached me. His face was really close, right in front of my face. Both of her little hands held my cheeks firmly.

Seriate
