The Tragedy of The Villainess

Chapter 116

The doctor was talking about how healthy and uneventful Lesche was, all that kind of talk. Seria looked at Lesche. He was looking at her with his arm raised on his elbow, his chin was resting on the back of his hand lightly. His other hand was still holding Seria’s hand as tightly as ever.

‘I’m glad he didn’t get hurt.’

‘Did I do something wrong?’

The hand that Seria had unconsciously tried to pull out grabbed hers tightly. Lesche. Not only did he not let go of her hand, but he gripped it tightly with all his strength. It wasn’t painful, but it was enough to leave a red mark on her hand. Seria shifted her gaze to Lesche.

“Lesche.”

Seria bent over and hugged Lesche.

‘I can’t help it.’

The doctor cleared his throat and hurriedly picked up his medical tools.



“Seria…?”

“I’m glad you’re okay.”

Most importantly, Seria was glad Lesche didn’t collapse. She felt Lesche’s hand slowly caress down her back.

“Grand Duchess?”

“Ah, yes. I must have dozed off.”

The servant smiled and brought Seria a towel. She said thank you and then nuzzled her face into the fluffy towel. Her arms and face were fine, but her legs felt a little more shaky from earlier.

‘It’s true that he’s strong.’

Earlier, Seria didn’t hold Lesche for very long. But when she tried to move away, Lesche pulled on both her arms. He immediately kissed her on the lips and made her sit on his lap. Only then did she realize that it was impossible to hug and move away from Lesche at will.

He finally let her go just before dinner….

Almost at the end of the meal when Linon came in, Lesche went up to the office. Knowing that he would be late, Seria went back to the bedroom alone without much thought.

“Would you like some tea?”

“No, thank you.”

After sending the servants out, Seria lay down on the bed but then sat up. No matter how much she thought about it, she couldn’t figure out what she had done wrong.

Earlier, in bed, she had asked Lesche in distress.

“Lesche.”

“…”

“Can I ask you if you have ever been in contact with Lina’s divine power?”

As a saint, Lina’s divine power was uniquely powerful. Why didn’t Lesche get affected by her power? Lina’s divine power might have acted beforehand.

‘I walked with trepidation thinking that I was on thin ice that was about to break, but I was confused when I found out that I was not on thin ice, but on solid stone…. But I was so sure that I was on a lake. A question filled my mind, ‘Did I take a wrong turn?’’

“Why would I be in contact with that Saintess?”

Of course, Lesche seemed to be very depressed.

“No, Lesche. It’s not a physical contact, it’s a contact of divine power. It’s divine power.”

“I’ve never done that. Were you thinking about that? Throughout the whole time?”

“No, of course not. I just remembered now.”
