Surviving As The Protagonist

Chapter 53: The Initial Plan

After taking her to the middle of the forest by force, Sheyra now looked at her with a sharp gaze. Unlike before who always acted weak, this time he acted as if someone was different. Wait—

What exactly is this? She was only a woman, but her strength was so great that I had trouble letting go of her hand!

The people were acting ordinary when Sheyra took him away, as if they were hypnotized by the black aura that fused with the air. But, it seemed that Marchionest Theyril was not so affected, it was possible that the current situation had shocked her even less that she was pregnant.

Well, I'll forgive him for not helping me in a precarious situation like this. But you why Sheyra? Why look at his face..

Compared to looking scary, he looks sad like this?

“What do you want to talk about to drag me into the middle of the forest like this?” his grunts while patting his wrists violently.

He was now staring at his own wrists which were flushed leaving bruises. His strength was not playing, he thought that maybe this was due to the influence of dark magic stuck to his body. If judging from the power he had always spared by just bewitching the Crown Prince alone, could it be that he was currently using all of his strength to hypnotize people?

But.. for what? But shouldn't he be.. right now he's not that strong? But I can't be rash..

“Magic... You already knew from the beginning right! Lucia!” the red-haired girl shouted with her loud voice filling the forest. Lucy flinched and stepped back to cut the distance between those who were too close.

This is a forest, although not so far from the existence of a place to drink tea there, but this position is very dangerous. What if last year's events repeated again with Sheyra calling the dark wizard to this place?

But. If that dark magician comes.There are certainly many things I want to ask him, I have also trained my barrier magic and mana power all along.

“What does that mean? You think of the magic words I said before? Oh shit— did you really do that to His Majesty—wait! Miss Sheyra, I only intend to tell you to stop seeking public sympathy if you wish to appeal to Your Majesty, for it is of no use whatsoever.” blame Lucy for the various reasons she made up.

In fact, Lucy's initial intention was just to ensnare Sheyra's existence at the tea party with a sentence that seemed to recognize Sheyra's identity as someone who allied with the darkness. But a response like this was indeed unexpected.

“Lying! You were suspicious from the start! That memory loss, you're just pretending right?!” hardiknya with wrath, his face flushed red as if he was angry because he was toyed with by him.

This situation is very confusing for him, but about the loss of memory.it is indeed a lie, but Lucy's lie does not mean she remembers the terrible tragedy that happened to her at that time.

Lucy still has no memory of what happened to her when she was dying in this forest.

So don't push me so dong!

The girl looks sighed, “What am I lying for. what do you mean it— is not, let's just go back.” the quote with a slightly trembling tone of speech, he said, although she had prepared herself many times to deal with this kind of situation, it seemed that Lucy herself was still afraid to deal with it.

But can you decipher Sheyra's desperate look? Why is he staring at her like that..

“Long... From the beginning you knew something right! About what happened last year, you remember that, right?! But— why are you acting like that? Why are you just silent without doing anything Lucia?!” the protest inexplicably sounded bitter.

Is he talking about the incident where he poisoned me in this place? He suspected that I had never forgotten the memory.and asked.why did I not do anything to him that had poisoned me so?

Can I deduce it like this, but what makes her feel sad like that? Then, he hadn't called me formally since..

The red-haired girl's gaze looked strange, she acted as if she was hurt and sad, but on the other hand, her anger and annoyance were enslaved as if she could no longer be contained. If it says he's acting, why doesn't he do that in front of everyone? A thousand questions came out of his head. Lucy asks what the meaning of all her behavior is that makes Lucy feel confused.

If they are not good friends since childhood, then what makes Sheyra so vengeful that they want to bring Lucy down to such an extent? Hence, he thought that if the reason Lucy took the person he liked (Crown Prince) to make him a grudge, it would not make sense.

But what makes you hate me so much? Is it pure just because the witch heard the dark? Could it be that you look desperate because all your discourse and foul wits never worked?

“Already, the problem will be finished with the Viscount who was arrested as the culprit. So stop teasing me and talk about the stupid thing that happened first again.” sharp woman while turning away. He planned to return to his original place, but again Sheyra raved unreasonably to him.

“Draud, you liar. Stop playing me, lady ******!!” the snapping that didn't want to make Lucy leave him. The woman looked up and turned back towards him.

Do I deserve to be like that?

Before she actually left, Lucy was seen emphasizing one sentence to him with her cold eyes. “Don't think of hurting me in this place like your cheap trick on the hunt last year. Because if something has happened to me, the main suspect of the perpetrator of this incident will fall to you undeniably as before.” he said with the intention to warn him.

You were lucky to use the Viscount as a pretext, but if the same thing happened twice?

At least if Lucy threatens Sheyra with her increasingly sagging reputation, sheyra is unlikely to get lost in the woods and Lucy almost takes her life by meeting wild animals like the original plot. Because the previous one who brought and made him lost in the forest was Sheyra's own compulsion.

Because of your voluntary blessing to pull me into the forest, I was able to read your shallow plan. Thanks Sheyra, thanks to you my plan was perfect.

But he never expected the success of his plan to even cause a fatal event that he had never seen before, because from the beginning Lucy underestimated Sheyra who always looked stupid in his eyes.
